We ate, and ate, and ate... Like Royalty! Melissa and Matt are an incredible team. We "disconnected" from the world for a week of family time and fun. Free Ingwe was a perfect home... We were treated like we were on a luxury ocean liner. Our children saw and learned every minute. Could not have been a better get away for us. Thank you Matt and Melissa!!! We love you guys!! - Ned and Maggie

This trip exceeded all expectations. The sailing, snorkeling and just relaxing were great. We loved all the different islands - and different bars! Best of all - the two of you! You all made it easy and fun. After all Mels"s wonderful food - left us leaving the boat with and extra pound or tow - and left all the guys with high expectations for when they get home. Thanks for everything.

Dear Matt and Mel,

Thank you so much for a fabulous vacation! Definitely on my top five list. You are a great couple, so easy to be around and made all of us feel at home. It was a thrill to see Leigh Anne get her dive certification and then be able to dive with her. Matt you are a great divemaster and made us feel comfortable. What a wonderful place this is. We will hope to be back.

Fondly, Stephanie, Rick, Leigh Anne and Warren Reid

Matt and Mel,

We didn't know how fortunate we were when we booked this week on Free Ingwe! The boat and the BVIs are spectacular... But it's the two of you - you personalities and skills - that made the trip so memorable and wonderful. Many, many thanks - and our very best wishes. Linda Brown

You guys are amazing! I am so happy we connected with you. There is nothing I would have changed this past week... Well, except for the Phase 10 game! Mel, your cooking was fabulous; I have never eaten like that in a one week stretch. Matt, your seamanship, knowledge of the area, and the marine life were all remarkable for us. We loved the anchorages, the drinks, and just hanging out with you guys. You really made it a wonderful vacation for us. Come see us in DC. We'll be sure to track you down for our next charter! - Mark Brown

Anticipation of a new adventure, for a novice group, is often rooted in unrealistic expectations. Matt and Mel you took our fantasy expectations to a new and unexpected level. Gourmet meals expertly prepared, timely and totally on target with our tastes.

Attention to all details of presentation, cleanliness, drinks, boat maintenance, diving and overall service. The selection of dive sites and the overall itinerary were excellent. A group is always apprehensive when selecting personnel to lead such and adventure. You both welcomed us into your world of yachting and made us friends. Thank you for your special friendship and may the wind fill your sails. - Jim and Marilyn Maes

A week of paradise - dreams do come true! Matt and Mel - you are an unbelievable couple, exceeding all expectations. Mel the meals were over the top. Your skillls are culinary chic : ) You both make your job seem effortless, which makes your guests so comfortable. Opening your home to total strangers is not easy, but you both are so gracious. Matt - what a guy! You do your job so well. I can go on and on - but bottom line - you both are the best. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime. Good luck and we wish you complete success. - Joe and Peggy

Matt and Mel - The perfect hosts! You made this trip so easy for us. You both work so hard every day and yet make sharing your home and dealing with the cooking, sailing, diving, constant questions, etc, etc. - Look effortless. We had a wonderful time and truly hate to see the week come to an end... Be sure to let us know when you're in Minneapolis next. - Cindy and Mike Sheehan

This has been the best vacation ever! The first one where I was truly able to relax and soak it all in. You are so easy to be around... you have definitely found your calling!! Mel, your meals were unbelievably good. And you may have sparked a cooking buy in me! We'll see : ) Matt, your bushwackers and painkillers were fantastic, and your captain skills weren't so shabby either : ) All in all, thank you so much for this trip of a lifetime! Hopefully, I'll be back someday! - Kate Sheehan
