“Thank you Tim and Angie for making our 30th anniversary such a memorable event. We are so glad we chose you to cruise with and truly enjoyed every minute we spent on Spirit, sailing and visiting the many islands in the USVI and BVI, and sharing time with you both.
You are both wonderful hosts, made sure that our every need was met and ensured that our trip was customized to exactly what we wanted to do. We will especially remember the fine gourmet meals, front row seat for the Full Moon Party at Trellis Bay, exploring the Baths, spending time with you on Saba Rock, lounging on the beach at Cooper Island, snorkeling at the Indians, the champagne lunch at White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, Mike getting to share in the sailing, the fish that got away, and the beeping of the timer.
We love looking at the photos and DVD you made for us and we\'ve been proud to share our experiences with our friends and family. We will definitely choose you to sail with again should we get the opportunity in the future...either in the Caribbean or the Greek Islands.”

From the moment we stepped aboard Spirit to the moment we left, Tim and Angela showered us with great hospitality. Whether it was managing our itinerary, displaying their incredible knowledge of the islands, or Angie preparing outstanding meals, they had us completely covered from beginning to end. For the record, Angie is a genius in the kitchen. All of our food was not only fresh and absolutely delicious, but beautifully presented. They are experts at what they do and take great pride in the services they provide. Watching the teamwork and partnership Tim and Angie display is nothing short of inspiring. They have a unique passion for life. For those in search of the right yacht charter, we HIGHLY recommend choosing Tim and Angie.
Our expectations were greatly exceeded. Not only did we have an unforgettable honeymoon, our lives have been made richer for having met Tim and Angie. Our gratitude is boundless, we had so much fun and hope to see you again soon.
Love

From the moment you step foot on Spirit until the moment you step off you are in “The Zone”. “The Zone”, of course, refers to an unmitigated state of fun and relaxation.
Although by definition the Spirit is a sailboat; in actuality it is a wind-borne B&B shepherding its passengers from island to island. Your hosts and crew aboard Spirit, Tim and Angela Cordts, are two of the friendliest individuals you will ever meet. As the days slowly progress you will come to the realization that you are not sailing with hosts and crew, but rather with two new friends that have welcomed you into their home. Their knowledge of sailing, coupled with their knowledge of the islands insures that you will have the trip of a lifetime.
What you do is up to you.
Want to helm the boat? You can do that. Want to hoist the jib and main sail? You can do that. Want to fish? You can do that. Want to snorkel? You can do that. Want to anchor up and head into a beach bar? You can do that. Want to anchor in a secluded cove for a romantic dinner aboard? You can do that. Want to do absolutely nothing but lime with a drink in your hand? Well, you get the idea… This was our sixth trip to the Caribbean, and by far our best.
Now, nothing less but another adventure with Spirit will suffice. We are already planning our next one. Do yourself a favor and book the Spirit for your sailing vacation. You will not be disappointed.
With the Fondest of Memories

We spent our honeymoon aboard Spirit and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision – it was an amazing week! Tim and Angela are the best at what they do and took care of every detail allowing us to completely relax and enjoy our vacation. Tim and Angela’s knowledge of the waters and islands gave us the confidence that we were in good hands and that we would have the best experience from each place we visited. Our meals were superb in every respect! Angie works wonders in Spirit’s galley and Tim is the ultimate “grill master”. As a team, they served every meal equivalent to that of a 5-star restaurant.
We arrived for our honeymoon one day after Hurricane Irene had passed through the area and were unsure of what to expect. Despite the terribly rough conditions the previous day, Tim and Angela had managed to fully provision the boat and prepare for our charter. We were greeted with champagne and hors d’oeuvres, and got underway in time to enjoy grilled fish for dinner at peaceful Maho Bay in St. John.
On the personal side, Tim and Angie are a wonderful couple and their love and respect for each other was heartwarming. They are truly special people and it was a privilege to get to know them and spend time together. We highly recommend chartering with Tim and Angela – you won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I spent our honeymoon on the Spirit and had an excellent time.
From the minute Tim picked us up the entire trip was absolutely amazing. Tim and Angela were the perfect hosts. As soon as we came aboard they greeted us with a bottle of champagne and made us feel right at home. We spent our honeymoon sailing from island to island eating Angela\'s excellent cooking (and I do mean excellent).
Tim knows the area like the back of his hand and took us to many unique destinations. He was even able to find us a totally deserted island on which to spend part of one afternoon! It was very much like something out of a movie. We were totally pampered on this trip and we lacked for absolutely nothing. Tim and Angela thought of everything.
The Spirit itself is a great boat. It is extremely well maintained and is very comfortable. Its bow cabin is large and spacious as are the dining and cockpit areas. The Spirit is a large boat and its size afforded my wife and me a great deal of privacy. The Spirit even has air conditioning, something that is sorely lacking from most charters.
My wife and I travel frequently and this was by far our best trip. For anyone looking for the ultimate getaway, we both highly recommend sailing with Tim and Angela on the Spirit.

Our trip aboard the Spirit was a total departure from our everyday life - just what we needed! My husband, Doug, surprised me with the trip for my 50th birthday and I couldn\'t have wished for a better gift!
From our first moments aboard the Spirit, Tim and Angie made us feel pampered, welcoming us with a champagne toast with engraved silver flutes. The rest of our time aboard was no less special. Besides being a very interesting and friendly pair, Tim and Angie were very particular about making sure our trip was what we wanted it to be. They shared some of their extensive sailing knowledge with us and let us pilot the boat, showed us all the must see places - Foxy\'s, The Baths, The Indians - as well as the interesting out of the way ones - Sugar Mills at Francis Bay, Sandy Key and Sandy Spit.
Our meals were excellent and tailored to our liking. We are still sighing with content when we recall our time in the BVI and hope to return for more adventures. |

Thanks to you both so much for sharing your home with us while treating us like the King and Queen of the BVI!
We had the most exciting adventure on The Spirit & will definitely look back on that time as one of the best weeks of our lives!
Big big kiss

| Our Voyage on Spirit |
Plenty excitement mixed with fun,
Beautiful beaches, lots of rum!
We made the nine knot club with our new friends,
Sure hate to see it come to an end.
We hope to see you again someday,
In Greece, the Caribbean or Tampa Bay.
Thanks so much for a wonderful time Tim and Angie.

“Tim and Angie have given us the perfect honeymoon! Tim is a great captain who clearly enjoyed teaching us newbies some sailing tricks. He knows every nook and cranny of the BVI and thanks to him, now we do too! as his Angie works miracles in the kitchen, and managed to please us (both great foodies) with everything she prepared. They have incredible eye for detail and form a great team, taking care of us and at the same time allowing us to enjoy each other’s company in private whenever we wanted. Spirit is wonderful, a quick and modern yacht – and kept in impeccable state.”

Thank you for the perfect honeymoon! We really enjoyed our time aboard Spirit and all the efforts you went to to personalize our experience. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun, or exciting, or better documented vacation! We really enjoyed spending time with both of you – thank you for all of the fun!

Just a quick note of thanks for the wonderful time you showed Kathy & I onboard of Spirit last week. Since this was our first time chartering, we weren’t sure what to expect. You both were so nice and accommodating, we felt right at home. Angie, your cooking was amazing, and Tim couldn’t have been a better host.

Good day ____ (Broker),
I am so so so happy.
These two people made you feel special all the time and cared for you like family. To me that is the greatest compliment I can give.
Tim taught me more about sailing in the time we had together then I have had in any class room for the past 30 years. Angie was simply amazing from the galley to the helm. The two are so well matched it almost made me jealous. The service, food, and drinks are all outstanding. The yacht is maintained to the highest standards. I cannot recommend or write enough good things about this couple.
When we left Friday my wife was in tears for leaving our new friends. Tim came ashore to walk us through getting our rental car, helping us get food, and put us on the right road to our next location.
I wanted to stay with them another week.
I will recommend them to everyone I know and asks about this trip. This was the best trip I have ever had bar none. I want to do this again.

We chartered Spirit to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We laughed so much. Our joy at being able to relax, enjoy each other, see so many beautiful fish, stars, coral, plants, play the conchs at sunset and experience so many other wonderful adventures was incredible. We thank Tim and Angela for sharing Spirit with us.

| this was one of the best trips- October 2010 |
Thank you so much again for what I will consider one of the most enjoyable days I\'ve ever experienced. And to think I was always afraid of sailing! Boy what I\'ve been missing.
Between sailing with you for the day and being invited to a reception at the Governor\'s mansion and getting to meet Governor de Jongh and First Lady Camille, this was one of the best trips we\'ve ever had to the USVI.
You and Angie are the perfect team and consummate host and hostess. I thoroughly enjoyed your company, knowledge of the islands, flora and fauna. And then there was the food.
Angie is a genius in the kitchen. Every meal was done to perfection and there was no skimping on the portions.
Thank you so much again and happy sailing. I hope to see both of you again on our return trip to St. Thomas/St. John
