DRAGONFLY GUESTS COMMENTS
New Years 2023/24
"It was a fabulous experience and one I would love to repeat.
For me the crew, the boat and the service were exceptional…and the food was incredible!
Was reluctant and sad to leave!"
December 2023
My wife and I, together with our four teenage boys, booked a week aboard Dragonfly with Dave, Val and Marcus. It was, in a word, magical. It was a perfect getaway for our family. The boat is wonderful, with lots of space for everyone to move around and to each have their own lounge areas. The catamaran was even big enough for us to have two of the kids have their own rooms, which was a big help to keep the fighting to a minimum.
Dave is a true expert in the BVI and knew the best places for us to both explore and to sleep. At every location, he knew the perfect place to anchor and got us the best tables at every restaurant we tried. Both Dave and Marcus were tireless in getting our kids out to do water sports -- the e-foil was a huge hit as was wakeboarding behind the tender. We even were able to do jet skiing because Dave knows the guys who can still have a license after the BVI's outlaws it.
Onboard, Val was an absolutely amazing chef. We have kids that run the spectrum of eating preferences. Val handed it like a champ -- weeks later our kids are still talking about how good the food was. Val always made meals that worked for our entire group, which was not easy at all. Our final onboard meal was filet mignon for those that would eat that and hot dogs for our youngest. We presented a tough group, but Val was up to the challenge. And her painkillers are absolutely sublime.
In terms of destinations, we loved our time at the Caves on Norman Island, Little Harbor on Peter Island, the Bitter End, White Bay, and Anegoda. As a family we have been to the BVI a few times, but always on land with just day charters on the water. Having done this time on the boat, there is no comparison. The opportunities to enjoy the Virgin Islands from the water is incomparable. We didn't even step foot on Tortola -- there was too much to do everywhere else.
I could not recommend more highly a trip with Dave, Val and Marcus. And Dragonfly is a great yacht on which to do that trip.
