TAKAPUNA    New Years 2011-2012 We were really pleased -- the staff were courteous, went out of their way to please, and Captain Marco certaintly knew the area very well. Their supply of sea-sickness pills was a massive result! The food was great and well-balanced and the cabins were kept very nicely. In fact, they all worked non-stop -- I think it rather put Rob off the idea of EVER buying a boat rather than chartering one! My kids really enjoyed the inflatable chariot and the fishing and also (slightly bizarrely), the Molton Brown toiletries! It was a great charter experience and also, a great choice of boat/crew for a large family. Cheers, AL  Our Perfect Family Vacation "The perfect family vacation. A joy from the minute we boarded! Thank you for a wonderful vacation."  Friendly Hospitality "Thank you for a great family vacation. Your friendly hospitality gave our family the time together that we rarely get to experience in our busy lives..."  Wonderful Kid Friendly Week "Thank you so much for this wonderful week. You made it so easy for the kids to feel comfortable in this new environment - and us too! Everyday was so much fun and filled with such great adventures. We got such a great taste of what the BVI have to offer. Thank you, too, for the most amazing meals. Each one was better than the last. You guys are the best! We can't wait to come again."  Extra Ordinary Crew - BROKER REVIEW "This is not your ordinary "great charter review" letter - this is an acknowledgement of the super heroes who pulled out all stops and gave 250% to make a charter happen. I with that [broker name] had enough volume to totally fill their calendars as a measure of our gratitude. Here's the scene ...[the crew] willingly took on the charter, which meant a 700-mile roundtrip sail to do a 4-night charter... now that is pretty extraordinary ... These are the kinds of crews that we all want to worth with... the ones who are committed to being part of our team... doing unreasonable favors for the sake of one client having a great charter... if I hav a choice in which yachts to book, I'll go for the ones with the can-do attitude. By the way, I have had a superlative reviews for this crew... they are those kind of crews that can deal with whatever/whoever you give them. I am most grateful to them and recommend them heartily!"  Nice Crew "We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves from the word go. We couldn't have asked for a nicer crew and have felt very well looked after."  The Best Time "I couldn't imagine a better time for my first sailing vacation... You made this such an incredible trip for all of us and we will definitely be back again very soon... Thank you for all the great food, beautiful boat, and for taking such good care of us".  Amazing \'Get Away\' "Thank you for an amazing 'get away'. The sailing, views and good food would have been enough to call this trip a success but your attention to detail created an adventure for our family. We truly appreciate the interest you took in all four of our children and the comfort and relaxation provided for my husband & me".
