Dear Bambi and Geoff,
What a perfect time, everything was perfect! Fantastic food, great sailing and the most gorgeous beaches and underwater adventure anywhere, we could ask no more from a vacation.
You were both so wonderful with Maya, we thank you so much for adapting to her five year old needs and bringing her great enjoyment especially those trips with "Captain Geoff in the "motorboat." (dinghy) It was such fun watching her grow with the two of you.
We truely loved everyday and we can't think of our favourite time because it was all beautiful. What a pleasure to have met you, happy sailing.
Fondly,
Nina, Terry and Maya |  |  |  | | Dear Broker, | We are back to reality and it is tough! Just had a Norester back here in Boston with losts of snow and ice!
But...we have to tell you about our charter on the Alexis. It was incredible! We thank you so much and feel you made the perfect match. Bambi and Geoff were just the best. They were the perfect hosts and made us comfortable from the moment we boarded the Alexis.
They treated us with such warmth,kindness and their hospitality was above and beyond. Of course you have heard I am sure all about Bambi's cooking. Well it is everything everyone says and more and she presents its so effortlessly.They are a wonderful team and it was a pleasure to watch them work so well together and they were always aware of your every need.Their boat the Alexis is a gem in its self. They have designed the boat themselves and the passion and respect they have for sailing was something they truly pass on to their guests.Bambi,Geoff and their boat the Alexis surpassed all our expectations and more.We woke to fresh brewed coffee on the stove and freash made bread served on deck in the morning and went to bed each night after perfect days and a wonderful dinner served by candlelight also on deck.Bambi also managed to coax us with a wonderful surprise dessert each night as well. We were sorry to see our journey end on the Alexis as we were dropped off in Virgin Gorda where we were renting a house with some other friends. We were so privliged to have Bambi as Geoff as our hosts that we invited them to join us for a dinner, served by us and to have a night off. They were again so gracious and we had a great night!
So to end,thank you again for suggesting the Alexis and please feel free to give my name and email to anyone that might like to have a few words about the amazing Geoff and Bambi on the Alexis. It truly was an amazing vacation.
Thanks again!

Dear Geoff and Bambi,
Thank you so much for making our first sailing adventure such a wonderful experience! You hospitality is unmatched. The meals were beyond compare, cannot wait to try the "Alexis" recipes you gave me.
Thank you again for all that you did for us, your kind hearts show through in everything that you do and are an inspiration to us. The gentle sway of the ocean and the warm breezes will linger long in our memories as will the two of you.
Warmest Regards,

Sail safe,

Three more marvelous days and nights could not have been spent elsewhere. You have turned hospitality into its highest art form! Alexis so perfect, the fresh , perfectly cooked meals, tidy accomodations, efficient ship operations plus all the "extras" made us feel so very welcome and special. We will take home with us along with our pictures and souveniers a new friendship!
"The Alexis - a finer sailing craft there never shall be
It appeared out of South Africa to pick up Sandy and me
The "Cats" fine hulls and strong sail
equiped for cruising and more
With many adventures and the plans to circumnavigate in store
However, what makes this boat more special than most
Is the crew aboard, the Captain Geoff and his wife Bambi, the host"
Thanks for a fine sailing adventure!

Harris, MN |  |  |  | | Pepe and Joe Squiri | Dear Bambi and Geoff,
I have been working in the foodservice/hospitality industry of 30 yers and being a supplier to America's longest standing 5 star operation. I know 5 star hospitality when I see it! You both possess 5 star attributes. Hospitality at ts excellence is not something learned, it is a gift. And, you are both truly gifted, from the attention to every detail to attitude to serve and especially to the quality of the foold its ingredients and its presentation.
It does not stop there. What really made our cruise experience over the top is realizing it is not a job for you both but an adventure. What makes people interesting is the story of their lives and your story is adventurous, entertaining and one that we are now a part of and committed to follow!
Thank you for opening our eyes to the wonderful world of sailing. ( I mean that literally) we are now hooked and excited to continue. We can't wait to tell our family and friends and are already looking to book another trip along with some of them.

Thank you so much for a fantastic sailing adventure! Its obious you do everything possible to make sure your guests are comfortable, happy , well fed and have a great experience on and in the water!
The beautiful fish we saw snorkeling and the wonderful food we ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner is something we will never forget. When we chartered Alexis, we were'nt quite sure what to expect. We quickly learned we were in expert hands. You knowledge of the isalnds and best places to go gave us the chance to see and do things we cold not have done on a large cruise with thousands of other folk on board.
Your teamwork in sailing the boat , cooking and taking care of things and your love and respect for each other are your keys to success!
Thank you so much!
| | | | | Steve and Carol | Dear Geoff amd Bambi,
it has always been a long time dream of mine to charter a boat in the Caribbean. The experience was everything I had hoped for. What was I hoping for?
You provided the opportunity to forget the work world and its stress, more importantly, my wife learned she could be comfortable on a sailing trip. She has gained confidence in her ability to snorkel, you helped me cement in her mind that we could explore retirement with some sail time.
We both enjoyed your hospitality, patience, good humour and of course the 5 star cuisine. After overeating for the past week I leave you a short ditty.....
With Bambi near the sink
And Geoff before the wheel
We'd forgo a drink
But never miss a meal!
Thanks for a terrific experience!

We came from Suomi, Finland - 27 degrees c to Tortolla, BVI +27 degrees c
We got married and made decision to have our honeymoon in the BVI's on Alexis with Bambi and Geoff not knowing what to expect. We had never before sailed. We felt relaxed already on our first evening when we got a chance to taste Bambi's great food for the first time. Listen to all the island stories from Geoff, also the interesting information about the culture in South Africa.
The time has gone too fast. We did'nt expect so good service, nice snorkelings, exciting sailing experiences and great relief from pain! ( Geoff's Painkillers!) And, we certainly did not expect Bambi to make delicious bread by herself in the boat!! We will be back!!!!

| | | | | Dick and Sue Lawson | Der Bambi and Geoff,
Judging by what I've read in this comment book everyone loves you as much as we do. It was by far the best vacation we've ever had. The food...... was beyond excellent, presentation and taste alike! The island and the snorkeling were ideal, we hae never seen so many wonderful fish.
The accomodations were pristine and very comfortable. I don't know if you two had a hand in the weather but that was just about perfect too. BUT, best of all you two were the BEST. You definitely made the vacation. You have become friends and I hope we will keep in touch. We'll gladly do another charter but please come visit us too, anytime.
