Fritz F.

Most relaxing vacaion ever; great service
The host made the charter process straightforward by providing clear, accurate information, listening to our wants, and making helpful recommendations, which were right on point for our group. The crew were a great team. Up on deck ("driving", managing and maintaining the boat, keeping it spotlessly clean, planning the itinerary etc.), Adam is the skilled captain, and Emily is his very capable first mate. In the galley and below deck, Emily is the skilled "captain" (chef, entertainment and cruise director, head of housekeeping, etc.), while Adam is her very capable "first mate" (sous chef, dishwasher, scullery maid, etc.). Their teamwork is seamless, and they make it all seem effortless, although we saw the long hours they put in making sure that our needs and wants were satisfied. They're both friendly, approachable, interactive and just fun to talk with and be around. But they also gave us plenty of "space" and time for ourselves on the boat, on shore and in the water. Adam made sure that the itinerary included great sites to visit as well as requested activities: snorkeling, paddle boarding, sightseeing in somewhat "off the beaten path" locations, fishing, sailing, shore excursions, etc. He also immediately addressed some boat maintenance/repair issues that cropped up. Emily's creations as chef and bartender were amazing: we were treated to three fine-restaurant style meals plus afternoon hors d'oeuvres each day, various standard cocktails plus her own creations based on what we said we like. The presentation was always lovely, and she used special cooking techniques like sous vide, air-frying, grilling etc. Adam was always handing us a beer, wine, soda or water, right before we even realized we were thirsty, like magic. We really felt pampered and taken care of; didn't need to lift a finger if we didn't want to, but were also welcome to help out with whatever we were interested in. Great attitudes in this regard from both Adam and Emily; they are very skilled in the art of hospitality customer service! The boat was great as well: comfortable, spacious, beautiful, and stable underway and moored. We loved the different lounging areas (salon, cockpit, "bikini lounge" on top of the cockpit bimini, foredeck, trampoline) that provided plenty of space for all.

About the host

Hosted by Derek Hunsinger Hunsinger

Host profile image
Married for almost 40 years, we have four amazing children and 6 grand babies (and counting). And after running a small business in North Carolina for 14 years, we decided to do what we love. We love sailing. And, we enjoy entertaining and helping people discover these amazing islands and the people who live here.

Once our youngest graduated from high school in 2008, we "retired" to the Caribbean with one catamaran and a ton of energy. We worked as crew (Captain and Mate) for about 5 seasons. We both hold US Coast Guard licenses and are both experienced chefs. We are open water dive certified and CPR/AED/First Aid certified. And we now have approximately 25 boats that we own/co own and manage thru our small family business that our 2 daughters and 1 of our sons assist us with still to this day.

Presently, we are on land in St. Thomas, taking care of our boats. We see the yachts frequently, so we know their condition and toys. We have hired amazing friends/crew who collaborate with us and strive to make amazing people from all over the world even happier than we did!!

We have lived this vacation and because of it, we have a love for the sea, the islands, its people and for creating memorable experiences for our guests. Even before you start your adventure, we will guide you along the way with lots of information and be there to answer any questions.

Exploring the Caribbean by boat has been a huge part of our family’s lifestyle since our kids were very young. As a family, we are passionate about delivering amazing customer service and helping guests to experience and love the islands the way we do. So ...we invite you .... to live this life .... even if only a week at a time .... give us a try.
