“Sailed ‘all over’ the BVIs! Best boat, best crew I’ve ever had… by far. Wind was great. Sailing phenomenal.. food fantastic! Thanks to Jess, Giles and Angus. We had a superb time!”
”Thank you so much for an exhilarating week! We really appreciated how gung-ho the crew was for sailing! Angus is the consummate professional captain and Jessie and Giles were terrifically accommodating. We will be back!”
“Not to sound like a broken record, but it was a fantastic week! 3 things make for a great trip; boat, crew and wind. We had all three, but if I had to come without one of the three it would be the wind. Matelot is such a treasure! I will think of this week for a long time. Angus, Jessie and Giles are world class!”
“Fantastic charter, thanks for the incredible crew Angus, Jessie and Giles. We could not have asked for more or a better experience in sailing the BVIs. The Matelot is only surpassed by the crew. I know we all hope to return again soon.”
“Thanks to each of you for making this such a memorable week. This charter was exceptional… The service, the food, the sailing and especially the company! I have enjoyed getting to know you all and I hope to see you aboard the Matelot again someday. All the best and thanks again!”
