Guest 1:
The best part was conk harvesting...

After filling over 30 bags with conk we decided to...wait, we didn’t harvest any conks but we did have an epic time thanks to Captain Bill and his fabulous crew! It’s not often that you bond with a crew to the point we all went out and got matching tattoos...oh wait, nope didn’t do that either but what we did do was have an awesome time. The food was incredible, captain took us to so many cool places...right up until our boat was attacked by a Kraken...sorry that part was not true either.

Guest 2:
Thank you so much for the week of Christmas goodness!

Wow. Just wow.

Captain Bill – everything is better with you! It’s true. Thank you for being the best.

Lynx – you are such a sweetheart. Thank you for taking awesome care of us. You have a bright future!

Hank – what a talent. Loved meeting you and enjoying your craft.

Johnny – thank you for your strength and kindness.

Thank you for being our first. We will always, always remember you.

Guest 3:
Our first time at sea on a vessel. So grand. What an absolute treasure chest of memories we collected.

Thanks to the extraordinary crew and comforts of traveling, we didn’t have a care in the world.

Captain Bill far exceeded the role of pilot with his fabulous stories, adventurous spirit, and contagious affection for the sea beauty.

The food, exquisitely crafted by the lovely Hank was unreal!

Lynx, the hostess with a flair for thoughtful detail, made us feel at home.

Johhny, you are the kindest, hardest working mate at sea – thank you!

Guest 4:
From the west coast of the US, we extend our deepest gratitude to the *** family, our gracious hosts, and to the crew and owners for providing this opportunity to our family.

Claire, you had great food and were nice. Sarah, you were like a sister to me. You were nice, helpful, and funny. You were too helpful actually. You were the best crew in the world. We loved this vacation. We love you!
***June 19-26, 2021***
Guest One:
We arrived tired and a touch apprehensive. We are leaving with our hearts (and stomach) full after an incredible week. Many thanks for sharing your love for the Bahamas with us. We snorkeled, laughed, fished, laughed, jet skied, and laughed. Your energy and upbeat natures are infectious.


Guest Two:
Thank you for the best trip ever. All the beaches were so pretty, and I’m not scared of the sharks anymore. This trip has been so fun!

Captain Bill, thank you for taking us to so many cool places. Thank you, Johnny, for helping me park the jet skis. Carolyn, thank you for being so nice and helpful. Claire, thank you for all the amazing food.

This has truly been the best trip ever.

Thank you Johnny for always smiling!
***Feb 4-18, 2021***
Guest One: Thank you so much for making this trip a safe success! Otherwise, I think all of us would have fallen or slipped off the ship at least once. You all were an overall 100/100 and I can’t imagine my time in the Bahamas would be even half as great as it was without you all. And, obviously Olga, your food was too good to be true. You are a truly talented chef – like, WOW! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were my favorite part of the day!!

Guest Two: Amazing trip with the best crew ever!

Guest Three: What can I say? This was simply the most a.m.a.z.i.n.g week ever! Each one of you have a very special place in my heart. Olga, your cooking was phenomenal! I will strive to come close, but I know nothing can compare to your talented cuisine.

WOW!!! Our first family boat trip and it was incredible! The staff, the islands, the boat - all were top notch and it was an amazing family experience!
July 5-12, 2020

WOW!!! Where do we begin?! We felt like family the minute we stepped on the yacht.

Captain Bill – you took us on so many great adventures, from feeding iguanas & pigs, playing on disappearing sand bars, riding the tide over and over, and snorkeling a reef inside caves and even a sea aquarium. You made sure our trip was customized just for us!
Chef Olga – every meal was better than the last! I’m surprised we didn’t sink the poor yacht with all the amazing food we ate. It’s obvious you put your heart into everything you prepare.
Novelette – With your sweet smile, you quietly made sure we had everything we needed before we even knew we needed it. Our rooms were always fresh. Our dirty clothes disappeared and magically showed up clean.
Johnny – what a fun fishing trip! Thanks for cooking our catch for the Independence Day lunch with all of your family recipes. Everything was so good and you even had our “no seafood” people eating fish.
Sarah – your effervescent personality was such a joy! Your presence was felt throughout the boat and you made it feel like home. We loved all the cocktails you created for us. We couldn’t wait for each meal to see how the table was decorated. So much imagination!

We had the most fantastic crew on the gorgeous Bella Contessa in one of the most beautiful countries we have ever traveled to. Thanks to you all for a trip we will always remember.

"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I believe that life is measured not by the time you lived but instead by the time you spent living. This week was lived well!!!! From the moment we stepped aboard and then stepped into every adventure you brought us to, it was INCREDIBLE. We fed Iguanas, pigs, stingrays, sharks and ourselves plenty. The cave dives and tube rids were FANTASTIC. Jumping from the deck and sliding down the slide, sitting on the bow or in the hot tub, was only made better by the incredible hospitality that was shared. Each meal was better than the next and the memories will be impossible to top! I am so very grateful for this week that I truly lived!"

Our 5 day Exumas trip in March 2018 was First Class! The yacht, staff, day tours and food were incredible. Chef Kim is a gourmet chef! We snorkeled on reefs, swam with pigs, explored underwater caves, jet skiied and much much more. Chef Kim prepared Mahi Mahi which we caught earlier that day! Captain Bill and first mate John were amazing. All the crew was very attentive and pampering.Trip of a lifetime!
