Each was exquisitely prepared and presented. And Surprise's conch fritters are the best in the Islands, period! The seafood was extraordinary and the week's menu outstanding." The Joblins  July 2011 Regatta-Time-in-Abaco Race "We just had a remarkable time on Surprise for three weeks! Crossing the Gulf Stream, the 'Stranded Naked Party' then winning three races at Regatta-Time-in-Abaco. Amazing! High adventure, good fishing, idyllic ports-of-call, delicious food, superb hosts, and a gorgeous yacht - a total escape into the unique joys of the cruising life! Thank You." John Hennessee  3rd Cruise on Surprise!!! Our third cruise with you two! So far, we've done a trip from Newport, RI to Mamaroneck, NY, a weekend on Long Island Sound, and a week in the Abacos, Bahamas. Can't get enough. Ready to move in full-time. Love you both!
