Capt Wayne + Julie,
I can not tell you what a pleasure it was to charter with you both. We feel like we had the best crew there could possibly be out there. It is so rare to meet people you immediately feel comfortable with, and right away you both felt like family. You have made an impact on our lives and we will never forget either of you. This experience has been the trip of a lifetime for us and if we hopefully get to do it again one day maybe, it could be with you guys. I hope this is not the last time we meet in life, but either way we pray many blessings on you both. Thank you for all your hospitality and kindness.
“Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.” Psalm 104:25
Thank you for showing us this beautiful ocean.
Love, Nick, ElliW, Brea ♥, Brody

The Captain (Wayne): What a guy! First and foremost- highly qualified. Safe, knowledgeable, skilled, unflappable. But also just a really cool, fun, interesting dude. By the end of the week we felt like he was part of the group. How many ‘hats’ can one man wear?! Captain, navigator, social director, dive master, pirate king, story teller, bartender, fisherman, and more. Just wow.
The Chef/Mate (Julia): What a woman! Similar to the Captain- highly qualified, and added to the fun! The meals were fantastic. Crème brûlée and tiramisu with filet and grilled shrimp? We felt spoiled at every meal. - Lori

Unforgettable Charter with Captain Wayne and Chef Julie!
Our charter with Captain Wayne and Chef Julie was absolutely incredible! Captain Wayne took us to the most amazing spots for diving, ensuring we had unforgettable underwater adventures.
Chef Julie was outstanding—every day, she had delicious snacks ready for us, and her dinners were nothing short of spectacular. From pasta to perfectly cooked steak and the freshest fish, every meal was a highlight of our trip. She always had something fun up her sleeve. She made my son’s 17th birthday spectacular.
I can’t say enough great things about our experience, and I already can’t wait to hire Julie again for our next charter. If you’re looking for top-notch service, adventure, and amazing food, this is the crew to book!- Misti Newton

I would like to thank the crew of One Love Catamaran in St. Thomas! Prior to arriving on the boat the chef, Laura, ensured that they had everything on the boat that we would need and like to enjoy during our stay, and discussed our itinerary they had planned for us. Capt. Christian picked us up promptly on the dock via the dinghy and brought us to One Love. What a beautiful catamaran!! Walking into the main cabin was inviting and comfy, like walking into your own home. The decorating throughout the boat gave a warm Caribbean feeling of relaxation and paradise! Laura made us a delicious fruit plate and some of the best sushi we have ever had. Capt. Christian took the time to have a front flip challenge into the water with our Daughter and take our Son on an extended snorkel adventure while my wife and I enjoyed drinks and music relaxing on the water ring. It’s not surprising the awards that this boat and crew have received! Great time and thank you again for an unforgettable time!!

Wayne and Julie,
We truly appreciate your hospitality! It was fantastic to explore the BVI with such a knowledgeable captain! Scuba diving with someone who has as much experience as you and continues to dive was truly enjoyable. We will always consider ourselves lucky to have you as our guide!
Dave and Kelly
We can not thank you enough for your hospitality and skill in navigating us through the BVI. Our trip was a trip of a lifetime and that was mainly because of you, your knowledge/stories and of course Julie and her culinary skills! We loved the comradery, snorkeling, diving, and all the dice games. We hope our paths and friendships will continue to cross paths again soon. Arrr! Here’s to the best Pirate.
Trish and Gary
Wow! What a great trip! We continue to think about and laugh remembering the great hospitality and adventure you showed us. The diving absolutely made the trip. BVI is so gorgeous, and the boat was amazing! It was a pleasure hanging out with you and Julie.

Wayne and Julie,
Wow! What a week it has been. From the moment we stepped on the boat, I knew we would be forever friends. This experience has been one for the books. The dives with Wayne were beautiful. The sailings, fishing, wake boarding, all so fun!! I loved that my kids, got to be kids and do so much. You are amazing! Julie, your meals were outstanding and you made everything so nice! I am so forever grateful our paths crossed. I can’t wait to see you again. I loved our talks and giggles. We are two peas in a pod. You guys are family and we love you both!

Dear Laura and Christian,
Thank you so much for a simply amazing week aboard One Love! From the pre-trip zoom call to learn more about our preferences and trip goals to the final morning on the boat, we appreciated the planning and attention given to every detail. Christian smoothly sailed us through the beautiful waters while Laura prepared gourmet meals that rivaled any high end restaurant. We enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding and swimming in the beautiful waters of the Virgin Islands. Evening activities of ukulele/guitar sing along, card games and of course Pirate/Karaoke night were all so much fun.
Something we didn’t fully appreciate until we were on the trip, was how important it was to get along with the crew while living in close quarters for a week. We would say we not only got along but we all really enjoyed getting to know Laura and Christian. They are warm, friendly and interesting people and we hope our paths cross with them again in the future!
Thank you, Laura and Christian!

Dear Laura and Christian,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. You listened to us and created a vacation around our interest and values. We weren’t sure what to expect. You cared for us through our fears, sea sickness, and through our laughter. That level of care and love, helped, create the most amazing experience and relaxation that all of us needed. Laura, the food was incredible. Christian, you were such a joy. Our favorite memory was playing music together as a family. All of this has nourished, our hearts, body, mind and soul. Thank you!

Dear Laura and Christian,
Thanks for an amazing week. We loved seeing so many new fun spots. Thanks for joining in all our family card games. The food was awesome. Especially spider crab night, the best spider crab we have ever had! We loved all the snorkeling spots especially Salt Island. Our week on One Love was perfect and we are grateful for all the fantastic memories we made with our boys. Until next time!
Lime Out and tubing, cactus candy, and petting a goat were some of our favorite activities and memories from this trip along with jumping off the Willie T and Salt Island snorkeling. Dinner at Cooper Island, and finding an octopus again along with swimming with turtles. Karaoke night plus ringing the bell at Woody’s.

This has been a most enjoyable, beautiful, and relaxing charter. Just what we had hoped for!
Thanks, Laura and Captain Christian for all the good conversations and for taking such good care of us. Laura, the food was outstanding, and made with such love. Christian, thanks for making sure we got some good sailing done and for letting the guys help a bit. We wish you both a wonderful future making your dreams come true. If you are ever in Lititz or Gilbert, give us a call!
We loved the sailing and the food aboard!! The most quiet coves were the best.
Saba Rock was interesting. The views, the sunsets, all so beautiful!

Meeting Laura and Christian was one of the best parts of the trip. Snorkeling was amazing, catching lobster and spearing lion fish are memories we will keep forever. The cave exploration was awesome along with so many other activities.
We could not have picked a more perfect crew! Laura is a master chef and she never cease to amaze us with her creations. As delicious as they were each, and every meal was fantastic. Mahi, snapper, wahoo, shrimp and scallops, all prepared with an Asian flair!
Our captain, Christian was equally amazing with his quick wit and skills. Always willing to share tips and advice on sailing and island activities. Our trip definitely exceeded our expectations!

This has been such an amazing trip. Laura and Christian have been great. Laura makes the best Mojito! :) Every meal that she created was beautiful and scrumptious. Christian was super funny, entertaining and kept us all safe. Both of them made this trip even better and relaxing!
