VALENTINA GUESTS COMMENTS

March 2024
Josh and Gustavo are amazing. By the end of the week we truly saw them as part of the family. They created amazing memories for us and this will be a top vacation to remember. It would be impossible to choose even a few things as 'best'. All the water toys, the delicious food, unique cocktails and Linda. We felt so welcomed immediately. We were in beautiful locations each time. Favorite stop was The Baths. The boys had a blast climbing around the rocks and through the pools. The communication from the booking agent was basically non-existant until we were on the boat. She was then very inquisitive and asking how our time on the boat is going. Best quote ever from my 13 year old step son, “I don’t want to go home tomorrow. low key. It doesn’t seem like we have been on here for 5 days. We should have done 2 weeks!”

I had the incredible opportunity to sail aboard Valentina, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped on board, I was in awe of the sleek design and spaciousness of the vessel. The catamaran offered a level of stability that I had never experienced on a sailboat before.

Valentina's interior was nothing short of luxurious. The spacious cabins were elegantly appointed with comfortable seating, large windows that offered breathtaking views of the ocean, and all the amenities one could ask for. One of the highlights was the expansive deck. Whether I wanted to soak up the sun on the trampolines or relax in the shade under the canopy, there was a perfect spot for every mood.

The crew was both knowledgeable and friendly, ensuring that every moment of the journey was enjoyable and safe. They were eager to share their expertise about sailing and the local area, enhancing the overall experience.
I can’t wait for my next Valentina adventure!

Our recent charter experience onboard Valentina was absolutely fabulous. It began with a complete and easy to follow itinerary that guided us seamlessly throughout our journey. Information was provided on how to pack, and what we were about to experience was all detailed in our package, including how to get to and from airports, hotels, taxi’s and then on to the boat.

Once on the water it was obvious that the captain and crew had a lot of experience sailing and entertaining guests. The food was delicious, the places we went were breathtaking, and the islands we visited captivating. Meals were presented elegantly and featured custom dishes some with fish caught from the locals that morning. Other nights barbequing off the back of the boat were equally as amazing with the smell driving our appetites to new levels.

The boat was beautifully decorated with plenty of room on all 3 levels for guests to be together as well as areas to be alone. When we weren’t sailing or visiting a local island we were in the water floating on a party island watching the sunset, snorkeling around the reefs, swimming alongside turtles and stingrays, paddleboarding or tubing in the Atlantic. There were lots of things to do!

This was truly a once in a lifetime adventure. We had a wonderful trip and an experience that will last a lifetime.

We had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable journey with Josh and Gustavo on Valentina. We can’t say nice enough things about our time with them. From start to finish, the service exceeded all expectations, making our trip to St Martin in April an absolute dream.

Gustavo and Josh are an incredible team, and their attention to detail truly was amazing. Every part of our charter was expertly planned and coordinated. The yacht was beautiful (and huge), and our meals were top notch every time we sat down to eat.



Some of the highlights of our trip were the guided tours they hosted through the city and villages, allowing us to explore the local scene and immerse ourselves in St. Martin’s vibrant carnival culture. Having them as knowledgeable guides enriched the experience in ways I can’t adequately express.

And then there is their adorable dog, Linda. She added an extra layer of warmth to our adventure. Linda’s fun and friendly presence on the boat made every moment even more entertaining. Her company was truly a unique and heartwarming touch.

Our charter with Valentina was nothing short of exceptional. We have so many unforgettable memories. I wholeheartedly recommend chartering with Josh and Gustavo on Valentina, and I can’t wait to book with them again next year.

Dear Gustavo and Josh,

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you both. We are waking up from a beautiful dream, filled with endless beauty. Every minute spent with you was nothing short of incredible. It felt like a magical journey, where we experienced personal growth, learned from one another, and discovered new customs and cultures. The food was delicious and became a central part of our amazing experience. We enjoyed new foods and styles that we do not have the opportunity to try at home and they were all wonderful.

We want to extend our deepest thanks to both of you. Without your presence and influence, we would have never been exposed to such wonders. The memories we created together will be valued forever and cherished in our hearts. Thank you, for making each day special and bringing so much joy into our lives.

As we return to reality, we will continue to embrace each memory fondly and with appreciation.
