YACHT INTRODUCTION

The finest cruising experience yet imagined, NENNE (a Swedish name which means strong and brave like a lion), elevates the enjoyment of a floating holiday to new heights. A Victoria 67, newly built and launched in 2017, she's the newest addition to Fountaine Pajot's Flagship fleet, their top-of-the-line luxury cruising cats. She's sleek, elegant, and extremely spacious with an overall length of 67 feet and beam of 31 feet; truly, the ultimate in cruising comfort. 

The popular flybridge concept has been expanded on this yacht to a state nothing short of magnificence. It is accessed from the cockpit with stairs on both sides that are highly secure. The 2-person carbon fibre helm, offset to starboard, provides the captain excellent visibility and easy access to winches, sheets, sails and traveler to ease the work of sailing. For guests aboard who have come to relax, the seating area is incredibly comfortable with benches, side tables, a relaxing sofa, and the convenience of a refrigerator and sink. The rise & fall tables can also be used for dining, making this a highly usable area not usually found on an FP 67. A large bimini provides an area of escape from the sun for those who want some shade and there is integrated lighting for evening cocktails. Additional side and rear covers can be used to block the wind for dining if desired, and of course, the large double lounge cushion for sun bathing make this a highly desirable space for the ultimate in relaxation, all enjoyed with awesome views of the surrounding scenery.

The large aft deck is shaded by the flybridge overhead and provides additional comfortable lounging spaces, as well as an elegant setting for formal dining. Two large sumptuous pads are optimal for relaxing. A projector and large cinema screen can be viewed inside from the cockpit or saloon.

Step into the saloon which features urban chic decor with gorgeous leather upholstery, and lots of space for comfortable entertaining in air-conditioned comfort if so desired. The large relaxing seating area has an electric rise and fall coffee / dining table providing an additional option. The open galley is equipped with state of the art appliances, fine china, and extensive glassware. There is an extra chart plotter and helm station at the chart table from where the boat can be steered.

Accommodation for 10 guests in 5 cabins which are all en-suite: 1 King, 3 Queens, and 1 Twin which can be configured to King upon request. Each cabin has independent A/C, Sony and Apple flatscreen LED TV with access to onboard server film library with over 500 films, Bose hifi music system, high quality bed linens and towel sets including nice thick NENNE-branded beach towels. The very large master cabin has a desk/dressing table and a comfortable couch.

The only way to improve on such a fabulous yacht is with an outstanding crew and NENNE delivers there too. Captain & Chef Donald and Audrey Harper have established themselves as one of the top crews in the Caribbean charter market, evidenced by 16 charter yacht show awards in categories including Best of Show, Culinary, Table-setting, and ECO-friendly. The most important accolade this crew receives on a regular basis is numerous rave reviews from their guests. 

NENNE is equipped with a large array of water toys including, snorkel gear, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, wakeboard, adult and children's waterskis, a range of towable inflatables, plus a 100hp tender for towing. For guests interested in scuba diving, you won't find a better choice than NENNE as she offers a premium dive experience with a complete assortment of top-of-the-line equipment, an onboard dive compressor. (See specs for details.) Captain Donald is a licensed PADI Dive Instructor and loves to share his passion for diving and favorite local dive spots with guests.

Until next time,
The “A” Group

14-22 June,2018 – An Unbelievable Family Experience!!

Dear Audrey, Donald & Dennis,

Where to begin?  A fabulous boat, fantastic crew, outstanding meals & constant cocktails!  But those are the obvious, what was so fantastic was the warmth & humor, knowledge and friendship that we so quickly shared.  It was an unbelievable family experience celebrating Chris’s 70^th, and we will never forget this past week.  You have all made it very special for us.

All the girls and Jack had such special moments – boom jumping,tubing, learning magic tricks – and we adults enjoyed the sailing, stories and special cocktails.

In a nutshell, we had a wonderful week and can’t thank you enough.  Hopefully we’ll be able to join you all again, as it was truly a pleasure!

Well, she said it all! I thank you so much for a fantastic trip.  I couldn’t have said it better than Nana.  Thank you for the amazing meals,fun activities (like tubing and of course boom jumping) and just an all around awesome time!

Thank you guys so much! First off, I am so grateful that you were so kind and always shining smiles in my morning.  Second, the amount of food, drinks and many other things you guys made/brought for us is definitely more than we deserved so thank you for that. 

Audrey, I am an extremely picky eater, and let me tell you that you made some of the best food I have ever eaten!  Thank you for you nonstop work and glowing personality.  I am forever grateful!

Donald, you handle everything with such grace and we will always remember the “Amazing Captain Donald” who was the most fun guy ever!  Thank you so, so much!!

Dennis, I am so grateful for you.  Not just the fact that you were always getting me things, you were so, so kind and I know the kids looked up to you.  I cannot begin to say how grateful am for you and your professionalism. You made this trip so fun and it was incredible to see the way each family member was entertained constantly. Truly an unforgettable experience! Thank you!

Thank you for a truly amazing week.  We loved every minute of it and can’t wait to come back again.  And a special “thank you” for accommodating the food requests. The kids enjoyed all of it, which is impressive coming from the picky one.  Of course, we all enjoyed every meal and the constant stream of cocktails as well. We were lucky to have you all as our crew.  We couldn’t have ask for a more professional, funny, caring, knowledgeable and fun group!

You guys are all an amazing crew and it felt like y’all were simply an extension of our family. Thank you for welcoming our family into yours and into your home!!

The “L” Family

March 31 - 6 April, 2018 – 50^th Jubilee for Christo!

To the Nenne Crew, Audrey, Donald & Dennis,

Thank you very much for the awesome week aboard!  I could not have asked for a better 50^th.  Great cruising, diving….excellent food and cocktails too!

There are not enough stars to rate your attention to every detail of our week on the Nenne!  Wonderful snorkels, sails, meals, cocktails, companionship, swims,entertainment, etc.  A perfect family vacation for 3 generations!  It was indeed a BIG DEAL.  Thank you so much!

I don’t think there is much more to say….the diving, food and cruising experience were perfect in every way.  Saw the greatest full moon.  Thank you!

The “D” Family

17-24 March, 2018 ~ A Dream Come True!

 Dear Donald, Audrey & Dennis,

Thank you so much for making our 50^thAnniversary the perfect week.  So much to thank you for. Everyone loved it.  You’re the best!  Food was the best!  Drinks and all the extras too numerous to mention.  We loved this trip more than any we have ever taken!  Thank you Audrey for all you do!  Donald, you are unique!  Never met a Captain who makes everything works o well.  Audrey, thanks for the best food and thank you for making it all possible. Dennis, you are wonderful! We loved the “Nenne”. 

With love from all of us! P.S. I loved the stern ladders which worked so well for me!

Thank you so much for a wonderful escape from the snow!!  It was an amazing trip and I had so much fun here!!  Lots of fun and the whole crew was amazing.  Donald was very funny, and I will never forget you.  Same with the other 2.  The food was fantastic!  Thank you!

This week has been wonderful!  Thank you so much for taking such good care of all of us on the beautiful Nenne.  I know it could all be exceptional if you exceeded my expectations!  Yes, they all are the best and we all had a ball!

Thank you for the BEST trip I’ve ever had!  Truly! Everyone was in a great mood for an entire week – you have no idea what an accomplishment that is!  I love the boat and I was so lucky to have my own room. Donald – It is nice to meet someone almost as fabulous as I am.  I’ve been all over the world and it is truly a feat!  Thank you for making my children so happy.  The three of us needed it.  It’s been a rough year for us.

Audrey – A more amazing feat is that Caroline loved every meal!  That has never, ever happened.  Please help me by sending your recipes.  You have the funniest stories, and the best sound track!

Dennis – You have done a great job.  Thank you for being such a good role model. I can’t thank you enough! And I truly can’t express how much I needed the trip and how grateful  I am for making my children so happy! The boat was awesome and beautiful, and amazing.  It stands out the most (in a good way).  And is white as a dove.  The crew was awesome.  I wish I could of helped, but you guys are better!  They are all so nice and helpful and I hope to see you guys again.  Thank you! P.S.  Your food Audrey was awesome; Donald, you were so funny and Dennis you were very sweet and kind.

Thank you for sharing and creating such an amazing experience.  As other writers note, this crew is fantastic, due to the seemingly ease of doing your wonderful work. Thank you for all the adventures, activities, meals and attention this week.  I will think of the BVIs and you all as I return back to the cold, rain and snow!

This was the best experience I have ever had.  I didn’t like the idea of living on a boat for a week, when I got here my mind just twisted around when I got on the boat.  Mostly because you guys were helpful, sweet,kind, funny and so many other things. The service was amazing, and the food and adventures were all so, so,so, so amazing.  This week has been a dream come true!  Thank you so much for making an experience of my life.  I appreciate everything you have done for me and my family this week. P.S.  Thank you so much for teaching me to scuba dive Donald!

Thank you for a phenomenal week aboard the Nenne,re-christened as the “Land & Proud Bateu Fernie La Bouche”.  Thank you for teaching our girls to dive Donald.  We couldn’t have asked for abetter introduction.  Audrey – Thank you for putting up with more chaos on a boat than is recommended.  Your food was worth every simple calorie thatwe don’t have to count.  Dennis -  Stay cool and as you say, it has been a HUGE pleasure.  You all have been fantastic,the island are stunning and look for us in the Unemployment Bay.

With Love, The L Family

5-13 March, 2018 ~ One of the most incredible experience sever!

Donald & Crew,

Out of all the boat trips we’ve been on, this was probably the most recent! (just kidding 😊) 10 of us left and 10 of us returned.  Truly amazing experience!  Donald, Audrey & Dennis were incredible –food drinks, activities, drinks and more drinks.  The boat Nenne was first class all the way ~I (we) have a few observations:

Donald:  Best Captain – Best story teller – Best Joke Teller! You always kept an eye on us, always aware and always accommodating.

Audrey:  An amazing chef and a sweetheart of a lady (she keeps Donald in check)

Dennis:  3^rdtrip for the young lad – The hardest worker we’ve ever seen, he’s going to be the best captain for the future.

Thank you for one of the most incredible experiences ever!

Final Word: 5 stars all the way!

Thank you all so much! Fabulous time!  So many “scuuuzze me” moments.

Love you all

SCUUUZZZE ME!! This sums up the entire trip!! You made the trip for all of us! Donald, Audrey & Dennis crew made the trip magical.  Thank you for putting up with our antics& special requests!  You are friends for life – We’ll see you again soon! 

Clear Sailing & Pink Skies!

We had a wonderful time aboard the Nenne.  We shared wonderful memories and laughs together.  Thank you for sharing yourtime with us and doing a great job of taking care of all of us!

Had an excellent time with everyone onboard.  Wonderful laughs & stories with Captain Don, Audrey & Dennis.  Great to bealive @ 50 and celebrate the milestone birthday with friends.

Food & Service nothing but First Class!

Thank you for a great time!  You are an excellent crew.  I know Dennis will miss me interrupting him.  XO

The A family group

6-13 January 2018 in BVI - Diving Certification family charter

Richard, Audrey & Donald,

This past week spent with my brother and family, and with you three has been one of the best weeks I’ve ever had!  You all did everything possible to make sure every detail was taken care of.  The food was incredible!  (Audrey, maybe, just maybe I will be inspired to cook again!) Donald, you kept us laughing and took care of making sure we were entertained and safe – all at the same time. Richard, you noticed everything that needed doing and it’s done before anyone knows it needed doing! 😊  Thank you all for an incredible experience. Next time I know I still won’t dive but I will be an experienced snorkeler– oops – I mean “professional”!  Please let me know if you are in Atlanta or Colorado any time!  We would love for you to visit!  And I do hope to be back on your boat again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You’re the 3 most awesome professionals I’ve ever had the privilege to know!  You may not know this,but we have talked about doing this trip for 30 years!  Life & responsibilities got complicated and we’re just now realizing this dream. And now that it’s over, I can’t believe what we’ve been missing all these years!  You three are amazing,each setting the bar so high in your very different rolls.  Donald – you are most definitely “the most interesting man in the world” with your vast knowledge of virtually every topic covered this week, not to mention keeping us all laughing the whole week!  Audrey – good grief the food was amazing down to the very last detail.  I will bethinking about almost every dish you made for quite awhile, and wishing I could just eat at “Audrey’s” again someday. Richard -  what can I say?  You are the man filling needs before they are even recognized as a need.  And you have the most gracious spirit about you.  A joy to be around!!  You three will see this family again someday!  Thank you so much for the best week EVER!  Here’s wishing you 3 a lovely break followed by an amazing rest of 2018 with your individual lives and your charters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being in the “service business” all my professional life,I know what it means to “delight” one’s customers.  You 3 went beyond the “delight” the customer many times that these families have decided you are “professional delighters”. 

Seriously, you made all aspects of our trip so fun, easy,varied, relaxing and meanwhile….a trip that we4 will not forget.  I really appreciate you and we hope/plan to see you in the next 2 years.

P.S.  Thanks for getting my wife and I remarried…that was not in the brochure!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is hard to put into words how incredible these past 7days have been!  Donald, thank you for the continuous belly laughs, getting us all scuba certified and sailing us around the BVIs!  Audrey – no words.  Your artistry and creativity with food is so enjoyable, as well as your sweet & caring spirit.  Richard, you are the man!  Thank you for being an incredible host who always had a smile on your face!  The three of you are a dynamic and incredible team.  I honestly had as much fun getting to know ya’ll as much as the trip.  If you are ever near Portland, OR please visit.  Josh and I would love to host you.  We will be seeing you guys again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for making this trip unforgettable.  No matter where life takes us, you will always be a part of some of our best memories. I am personally anticipating some new, exciting and good things for 2018and your kindness, service and selflessness was the first of these things –thank you.

May the Lord bless you. May he cause his face to shine upon you. May he lift up his countenance on you, and give you his peace.  (Numbers 6:24-26)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can’t put into words what an unbelievable experience this last week was for all of us.  All of you went above and beyond on every aspect of the trip and we can’t thank you enough!  Aside from the incredible food, stories and adventures we will value the friendship that we have found and will run into you all in the future.  You are all so genuine and it was the human, relational part of the trip that made it unforgettable for me.  Audrey, continue to keep “Captain Don” in check!  Hope to see all of you soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thank every single one of you for the greatest, most relaxing, and energizing weeks of my life. This was an unbelievable trip filled with absolutely unforgettable memories & experiences.  It’s funny to think back how short, yet long this week lasted.  The “personal” aspect that each one of you brought to the trip is what made the trip so special to me.  Keep providing incredible experiences to everyone blessed enough to take this week. Richard, keep eating cereal bud. It’s the best food category by far! I hope to see all of you soon.

God Bless,

The M Family (Arkansas, USA)

I cannot say enough about their hospitality, expertise and skills making this truly a family experience to remember forever. The food was sensational! A must to repeat….. soon!

Thank you!

Captain Donald, Audrey and Richard.

Thank you for a wonderful week! We have had a blast seeing all there is to see and do in the British Virgin Islands. Thanks for all the special attention towards my son. He will remember this trip forever. Also thanks for all the delicious food and all the chicken cooked all week. The ship was beautiful, but our experiences were made by the careful attention of the crew. Thanks for a wonderful vacation! Thank you so much for the great week we had in the BVI. You are a fantastic captain, the food was amazing and the attention to detail by you and your crew was second to none. All of the activities you suggested were perfect for our family and our vacation.

10– 16 June 2017 ~ Outstanding!!

Donald and Audrey and Richard,

Our journey with you over the last week has been outstanding!  The memories created will last a lifetime and leave us boarding the plane back to Maryland with a plan for the next trip! For me there is nothing better in life to watch my husband and boys laugh and smile together.  You all certainly made that happen … 5 stars!  The amazing creative food, never ending cocktails, scuba, snorkeling, map briefings and great jokes and tales along the way …  As I’m sure you three sit back and observe “this” crew, we also did the same.  Each of you is a key element to the success of this wonderful vacation.  Donald –thank you for your vast knowledge of the sea and worldly wisdom and whit.  Audrey – thank you for the amazing gift of planning and preparing excellent cuisine that met and far exceeded our expectations.  Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed.  Richard– you will go very far in life … your smile, drive to work hard and constant ability to make us all new libations  … so fun!  Enjoy your journey.  So fair well for now – until we meet again!  If ever near DC, please don’t hesitate to call and look us up.  All our best.

Whereto start?  Thank you, thank you for one of the most wonderful vacations!  Your care for us and your attention to detail was just perfect!  Donald – all the adventures you planned for us were a blast. Your knowledge about the different dives and the Baths made the experience that much better.  Taking us to Foxy’s (and meeting him!),Willy T’s (Diving and jumping off) and Soggy Dollar were perfect Hot Spots.  Your smile,energy and enthusiasm were infectious. Audrey –every meal was perfectly planned and so very delicious.  Thank you for taking such good care of us this week.  You made us feel more like family than just guests. Please call us when you are in Florida so we can meet for drinks and a little reunion.  And Richard – thank you for all you did to make our vacation perfect! Keeping us hydrated or “double parked”, you are the best!  Until we meet again!

27May – 03 June 2017 ~ Wow, wow, wow!!!!!!

Donald,Audrey and Richard.  Wow! What a vacation.  How did we get so lucky to get you as our crew??  I have done the BVI vacation with another outfit. It was good – but you put them to shame. In a sentence …above and beyond. It is so clear to me that you all have worked to exceed our expectations.  Thank you for that.  While you didn’t get to see that side of it,you had a bunch of stressed out people on board.  It melted away at minute one with the welcome aboard.  Thank you for pulling off the ultimate Disney for adults.  Richard, you are a lovely young man with a killer smile. You will go far in life.  Ya’ll are welcome ANYTIME in Texas.  I am confident we will see you again in the near future.

Wow,wow, wow!!!!!! Words cannot express how this venture has been and will be one of the most amazing, spectacular vacations of our lives … bucket-list for sure!! Donald – thanks for the adventures, stories and laughter. Audrey – thanks for your amazing food, every meal.  Richard – best dark and stormy maker ever!  We look forward to being one of your repeat clients! 

Thank you for the best vacation EVER!  We have never been so sad to leave a place.  The diving, sailing, sling-shotting and sight-seeing were absolutely amazing, but they are nothing compared to the welcome, conversation and fun we shared with you all!  Thank you, Donald for the patience,guidance and wisdom during our scuba training sessions; to Audrey for the incredible food and never letting us even THINK about being hungry; to Richard for the awesome drinks and the incredibly hard work you put into making us feel at home.  We hope to see you all again sometime soon! 

How to say thank you for one of the best weeks of our lives?   We’re not quite sure.  Thank you for the many meals, the many laughs, and the many memories; thank you for each of the times you looked out for us and noticed a want or need we had that we didn’t even realize.  Donald – thank you for daring me to be bold.  Audrey – thank you for all of the special meals you made for me, pescatarian special.  Richard – thank you for making me feel totally welcome in a very new environment. Thanks for the best, best, best week!

Dear Donald and Audrey and Richard, Wow! What an amazing week. We can’t thank you enough for making our trip so memorable! We might never be able to vacation any other way! We will definitely be booking another trip! A few highlights from the week, were the amazing food – thank you Audrey, the amazing drinks – thank you Richard, the belly laughs – thank you Donald, the board meeting, Bitter End yacht hike, fishing, swimming, snorkeling, tour of the Baths, dolphins at Willy T, back island tour of Peter Island, meeting Foxy’s,Painkillers at Soggy Dollar Bar, dancing on the Fly Bridge, unlimited drinks and memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you, thank you for everything –ya’ll have been the best!!!

I don’t even know where to start – this trip has been amazing! 18months of anticipation and it was so worth it! My favourite times were spent actually on the boat and not the islands. Audrey – your meals were much better than any meal we could have gotten at any fancy restaurant. Donald – you were like watching a stand up comedy show – 24/7. Richard – you are still coming home with us, you just don’t know it yet. Thank you all for the wonderful service this week. We will be back hopefully sooner rather than later!

What an incredible trip! Thank you so much for your expertise and perfect planning.Your stories and adventures you took us on, the laughs we shared and the incredible food and drinks all made for the best vacation. Thank you so much!

Wow!This was my first ever live-aboard sailing trip, and you have truly set an astonishing bar for me! Our group of 8 has had an exceptional week under your care, and I have a huge list of friends at home who will be coming back! Thanky ou all for your phenomenal hospitality, and a lovely budding friendship! Weare all hoping we will be able to host you one day if you can tear yourself away for a visit to Canada.

What a week! I literally had the best time of my life. I met some great new friends,renewed some old and spent time with family. Audrey, Donald and Richard, you were incredible! Clearly we all want to come back again as we aren’t able to take you home with us. Audrey, never again will we have a meal off the boat …ever! Please stay in touch! We will all miss you.

08-15 April 2017 ~ Another Fantastic Trip!

We have had an amazing trip! Richard, we are so happy to have met you. You have a very kind heart. I’m sure you have inherited all your father’s best qualities!We wish you happiness. Donald and Audrey, my heart is heavy today.The first charter we spent with you – on the last day I hugged Audrey and said I don’t know if I will ever see you again. I know now we will always remain in contact.I feel we have made lifelong friendships with you both. So today, I won’t say goodbye – I’m saying – see you (soon) hopefully. We will miss you and think of you often as we remember these amazing memories we have made with the Dynamic Harpers! We love you guys! Next year, let’s meet in the BVI.

Another year and so many new memories made! Thank you for another fantastic trip. The food was incredible; you have once again outdone yourself,Audrey! Richard, you took very good care of us! Donald, always the entertainer!We love you and miss you already. We truly cherish our time on the boat with our friends! Here’s to friendship and love! Until next time!

We thought this was going to be a “once in a lifetime” trip, and each year we comeback! It is an absolutely amazing trip, never to be forgotten! You both definitely fit right in our group, good or bad. Till next time, Harpers –Cheers!

Another amazing adventure! Why does it have to come to an end? Each year when we leave I am certain we will meet again. There are doubts though –what if we never see you again? The memories made on our ocean trips are surreal and have given us such joy. I am proud to call you friends. Until we meet again …

Thank you so much for everything! Never in my wildest dreams would we have thought we would take a trip like this one. What a blessing to get this chance! We have a great group of friends we travel with and now we have three more great friends!Hope to see you again!

11-18 March 2017 ~ Great Memories!

Thank you so much for all the great times, amazing food and unsurpassed service, even today, as we are packing up to leave! Some memories: Audrey's food the best in the Caribbean, hands down, delicious at every turn. Donald's seemingly endless amount of talents: magic, diving, sailing, boat driving,local and global knowledge, humour and life experience. So impressive! Thank you for deciding to move here and start your nautical adventure! We are so appreciative of your time, talents and care! Richard, thank you for everything!You are also so impressive young, with such a bright future, yet, mature and so attuned to everything around you. You will go far!

26 February - 05 March 2017 ~ A Wonderful Birthday Week!

When we boarded, we were clients. When we left, we were friends.Audrey, you cooked up a storm in the kitchen, all the while chatting away I enjoyed our girlie talks! You all shared so much of yourselves with us,generous in spirit and kindness. Donald with his stories, so varied and interesting, some tall ones that Audrey corrected. So much knowledge you have as a couple, well balanced and a terrific team. Never once did we watch TV or even read a book! Richard, you are just at the beginning of your career, but already we can see that you are arising star. A gentle soul, don't change and a good dancer too! Not once did we feel you were working for us, even though the service was outstanding just show what a good job you did. We loved teasing you at dinner, Audrey, singing: We love you, Audrey, oh yes, we do!

We were here with friends we truly love and adore, to celebrate a 60thbirthday.You helped us create memories we will re-live and re-tell and re-call for many,many years to come. You have woven yourselves into the fabric of our minds,forever. We treasure the time we spend with our friends as we stay in different countries. At no time did we feel that you encroached on our precious moments.Thank you for a wonderful week, all our love!

18-24 February 2017 ~ Far Surpassed Any Expectations!

What a wonderful time away we all had. It far surpassed any expectations we may have had, and will be the topic of choice when discussing our best memories for years to come.

From the first time we stepped on deck, we were welcomed with open hearts. Donald and Audrey worked tirelessly to ensure we were always comfortable, entertained,and extremely well cared for and well-fed! We were so impressed with their level of professionalism and competence. They were always mindful of our children, whether it was looking out for their safety while playing with all the amazing toys, instructing and leading them in scuba diving, or just spending time entertaining them with Caribbean stories, history and card tricks! Of course, the kids enjoyed their time with Richard as well,who made our stay so comfortable, they were wishing he would come home with us!! The boat itself is lovely and modern. It was meticulously kept and very comfortable for our large family of 7. There's just something so relaxing about being gently rocked to sleep each night!

Dear Donald, Audrey and Caitlin

What can we say?? This is our 4th charter with The Harpers, and every time the experience is better and more enjoyable than the charter before. You are not just crew; you are our second family, our Caribbean Soul Mates! The highlights for us are: the succulent food, the indescribably beautiful views,water colors and anchorages, the spectacular Bamarandi (crystal wine glasses, huge master bedroom all the comforts of home. Simply a regal vessel!), the stories,conversations and many laughs! This is undoubtedly our favorite type of vacation, and we hope to share many charters with you in the future. See you next year!
