“I have visited and stayed in beautiful accommodations across the world over many years of travels and I consider my time with the crew in French Polynesia as easily in my top three favorite all time vacations. I jokingly coined the term "Post-Travel-Depression" (PTD) to express the sadness of a wonderful trip ending. After this trip I experienced the longest PTD yet. Dagmar and Bart had an incredible way of making me feel at home, as part of the family while also spoiling us with deliciously nourishing food. It was a beautiful balance of the comfort of being home while experiencing the benefits of a perfect vacation (fun, adventure, amazing foods and drinks, constantly surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery). When deciding to go on this trip, I admittedly was hesitant to spend my 30th birthday on a boat with strangers when I don't touch adrenaline sports like kitesurfing and wing. But I couldn't have imagined a better birthday and the days surrounding it. I have no doubt embarking on this journey with this crew will also give you some PTD, but it will be worth it!”

“Our experience with Dagmar and Bart on their boat was simply extraordinary. Starting with the marvelous food (dinner dishes worth Michelin star), going through their eagerness for letting us having a perfect stay all the time, and ending with the incredible expertise of Bart in kiting and watersports.
We are counting the days for repeating the experience with them!”

“The Zen Quest exceeded my expectations. Bart and Dagmar are lovely, easy-going hosts who serve up daily smiles, adventures and incredible meals. The boat itself is a 10; perfectly maintained, spacious, and intimate at the same time. Don’t hesitate to spend a holiday on the Zen Quest!”

“Our experience aboard the Zen Quest with Bart and Dagmar was phenomenal! Truly one of the best trips we have ever taken together! Captain Bart is calm and capable, ensuring each guest’s safety. He knew just where to take us each day to find the best conditions for the next adventure! Each and every meal was a culinary masterpiece - expertly prepared and presented by Dagmar. They are a perfect team, joyfully doing the work to maximize the guest experience! Best in French Polynesia! Can’t wait to do it again!”

“I have had the pleasure of being on the Zen Quest two times with Bart and Dagmar as hosts. The experience has always been wonderful. The quality of the food and service is impressive.
The boat is kept clean and very well maintained. They do a great job of planning the itinerary to see beautiful parts of the countries they visit. Including seeing the sea life and local culture. For many of us guests the draw is the access to the remote, beautiful areas of the world to play on the water. The wide variety of gear stocked on the boat makes this easy. To top it off Dagmar and Bart are very professional, interesting and just fun to be with! I would highly recommend the Zen Quest.”

“We had the incredible opportunity to sail with Bart and Dagmar through the breathtaking Tuamotus Archipelago for our honeymoon, and it was truly one of the most special trips of our lives. Bart and Dagmar are exceptional hosts (warm, welcoming, and passionate for what they do). The food on board was absolutely outstanding, and every moment was filled with fun, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon!”
