HEAVENLY GUESTS COMMENTS
March 2025
8 of us recently had the pleasure of embarking on a five-day cruise aboard the stunning catamaran yacht, Heavenly. It was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we set sail, everything exceeded expectations.
The yacht itself was beautiful and meticulously maintained, offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views. The cabins were cozy and comfortable, and the deck was the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail in hand while taking in the gorgeous sunsets each evening.
What truly made this trip special was the crew. Captain Jason was highly experienced and made sure we were always safe and comfortable, all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. The first mate, Jennifer, also served as our chef, and the meals were nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was expertly prepared with fresh, local ingredients, and every meal was a culinary delight. From gourmet breakfasts to incredible dinners, we were treated to an endless array of flavors that made the trip feel like a luxury retreat.
Throughout the journey, the crew went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time. Whether it was guiding us through serene coves for a swim or sharing fascinating insights about the islands we visited, they made sure we had an immersive and enjoyable experience.
This cruise was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for a getaway with incredible views, exceptional food, and a professional, friendly crew, this is the experience for you!”

What an amazing trip! Jason & Jennifer make an awesome team and took such great care of us, taking us to the most beautiful beaches and great snorkeling spots while teaching us a little bit of history too! Jennifer kept us well-fed with her delicious food, and Jason, with his smooth margaritas. We can’t wait to come back!

We had such an incredible vacation! There’s nothing like waking up and going to sleep to the ocean breeze and the lull of the waves. Jennifer & Jason are amazing hosts. We were well-fed with delicious gourmet meals and refreshing drinks and treated to the most beautiful beaches! Together, we shared lots of laughter and great music! We will be back!

What a highlight during my life in the BEST possible way. Andy, Amy (longtime friends and best travel companions), Michael, and I booked this charter about a week before we arrived. We wanted to check out the experience of living on board a catamaran like Ithaka. SPLENDID is the word I’d use to describe Ithaka and her crew!
From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Jason and Chef Jennifer helped us navigate every comfort and experience of this trip. I felt very safe and blessed to find such an impressive first experience on charter with such a lovely team in Captain Jason and Jennifer. Every night and every sunrise presented an experience filled with JOY.
The pitcher of painkiller brought to us on the beach by Jason and Jennifer, unexpectedly, was one of many surprises. No need to eat on the island—Jennifer’s meals were wonderful! We were well-fed and loved through healthy, scrumptious food all week!
May Ithaka sail on in the beauty of St. John, and may we have the experience to join her and her crew again. With much love and respect for the sea.

What a FABULOUS family vacay! Jennifer & Capt. Jason pulled out all the stops to ensure that adults & kids alike had fun at every turn. The prettiest beach was White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, the coolest experience was touring Necker Island, and snorkeling was a highlight of every day! As was Jennifer’s cooking! We will be back!

Jennifer and Jason made our trip exceptional. We had to make a last-minute vessel and crew change, and both Jennifer and Jason made everything come together so that my 52nd birthday trip was amazing.
This was our first charter, and they provided so many opportunities for special memories that we will always cherish. Jennifer—your culinary skills are amazing, and thank you for the love & care you showed our family! Jason—I will never forget our talks. You are so young! We are envious of your life adventures ahead!
PS. We will pack much, much, much less next time!
