John & Trish Fletcher Nov 17 to 24, 2010

What a week!!! We came to relax and did we ever - along with beautiful scenery, great food - it was perfect. From the first cocktail in St. Thomas, learning the rules how the head works, by day 3... we had it down. A Big thanks for making it to Virgin Gorda by Saturday night, we enjoyed being able to treat you to a meal. Relaxing evenings on the boat - Martinis, fabulous food and cigars, offers for snorkeling that we just did not get done - our books kept calling us! Willy T's was a night to remember!! Now it is the last day - we are sitting on the boat - beautiful view, hoping to let you know what a trip this has been for us, but words can't really describe it. Thanks for the PERFECT WEEK! John and Trish

Brent Ricks & Kathleen Yeager, July 27 to Aug 3, 2010

Birthdays & warm sun & perfect weather - the water was so fine, the smiles were everywhere! Another bucket list check off! An outlaw/pirate looks at 53... and life is good.

Thank you both for a beautiful time! Best fishes I ever seen or eaten! Now I look forward to the next time I go snorkeling instead of being nervous about it, that is a major breakthrough. Also enjoyed learning about these islands and boating. And Willy T's.... what can I say? Made me feel young again!  Arrrr! =-) The most relaxing vacation I have ever had and a deluxe intro to sailing for Brent. Wish you good fortune in all you do and hope to see you in our world sometime. Kat & Brent the River Rats

 


Doug & Barbara Cordello July 10 to 20, 2010

 

Life happens while your making plans!

Good Cruise! We have enjoyed getting to know you both, also getting our first look at the Virgin Islands. Experiencing a sailboat vacation was an interesting change from our power boating in Florida. Highlights were the great snorkeling, the pretty little anchorages, Willy T's, Virgin Gorda and Cruz Bay. Thanks for the hosipality, good drinks & graet food! We had a great time. 

Good conversations (political or otherwise) went along with our introduction to GROG and other rum drinks. Thanks for everything! Barb & Doug

 


The Mintz family July 2 to 9, 2010

Thank you for the amazing time and amazing experiences! Thank you for helping us differentiate the Big Dipper from the Little Dipper because we would never have heard the end of that. Thank you for the amazing cuisine, I have never appreciated tomatoes and onions as much. This was a great vacation and (as my Dad would say) I don't know how lucky I am to be able to be on a ship in the Caribbean vacationing and relaxing. Thanks for making this happen ~ Zander Thank you for a fantastic opportunity to discover my waterside. BY the way the food was GREAT! =) The snorkeling was unbelievable! I would have not thought that I would see 2 stingrays in one snorkel trip. Thanks for the unforgettable trip ~Mikaela
I had a great time on the boat for a week, I learned quite a bit ranging from the stars (Big Dipper) to the various sea creatures and it was exhilarating to learn all of these things. I am truly lucky to be on this boat for the amount of time and it was an unforgettable experience. ~ Zach  PS Tarpons are AWESOME!
Thanks for the adventure and spectacular vacation. The food was outstanding and snorkeling was great! Personally moorings rock with marina one day. Coming back with just Alice and me. ~ Dad Thank you both so much for this unique vacation. Victoria - I really appreciated the snorkeling lesson - it helped a lot. You already know that the food is great, the stories fun & the information about the islands invaluable. Creating such a memorable experience for an entire family is the best part of what you do. Thanks for sharing your skills  and experience with us. ~ Alice

What an absolutely wonderful time! Thank you so much for everything ~ The incredible food (know that we will miss not having great food & 3 meals a day ~ Taco Bell & Wendy's will never be the same), the great sailing and beautiful spots that you choose, The terrific companionship, You two are a great couple full of life, humor and love. And of course thanks for all the priceless education ~ cars, food, computers, stereos, music & farming.

You guys gave us a break from the real world, just what we needed. Lots of incredible memories. The islands and waters are so beautiful, now I am a fully committed snorkeling enthusiast.

Again thank you for taking such good care of us! You guys now feel like friends and we look forward to seeing you in the future. Our home is open to you end up our way this year (or any year), And I promise not to feed you burger king... Much Love Lynne

New fun friends, new favorite water holes, exquisite creative cuisine, new discoveries. Lots of water time and snorkeling. Brush up on sailing techniques and jokes ~ lots of laughter and beautiful views. A relaxing and exciting vacation ~ the only way to go.

Feb 20 to 27, 2010

What a wonderful fun, relaxing vacation! This was the "First" for us (land lubbers on a boat) and it was great.  Let's see ~ how to describe our "favorites"???  Maybe it was the beautiful scenery and pristine waters....      

 

 Dean & Cynthia loved the snorkeling and someday CDO will forgive you for scaring the beeJesus  out of me with your friendly shark-like fishy friend!!! [{Remora}]

Nadeen learned a lot about Scorpios and enjoyed the sun & sleep!!!~ Special thanks to Victoria for teaching her finally to snorkel.

Paul (aka City Boy) really loved cigar nights with Curt.

Dean (aka Chatty Boy) was in heaven on the boat all week, talking sailing stories, keeping Curt up. We sacrificed Dean to the no-seeums  (what a guy)!!

Keeping us all (very) well-fed and laughing was priceless!!! Enjoy your time off and best wishes for future sailing and life adventures.

Love Todd

I can honestly say this trip has transformed me into a new woman! Not only am I ten shades darker, I am feeling more Zen then ever. Luckily we made our trip documented in pictures because friends and family back home are not going to believe the amazing stories and times that we shared with you. (Even if they are slightly over embellished)! Todd & I truly enjoyed your cooking, company and kind hospitality here on BILLY JEAN. I am going to tell all my friends back home that this vacation has BEEN THE BEST EVER. One hundred times thank you and happy sailing to you both in the future!

Much Love Tammy

Jan 31 to Feb 7, 2010

Thanks for the wonderful vacation! It was scary the first day when our white bodies blended in with the boat so well, that we were afraid you might not notice us on board. Thankfully, the sun was out and we added some color to take home with us. We enjoyed the great snorkeling spots and the great conversations. The food was awesome! You both have a gift and have found your calling. We truly hope to see you in Kansas City, Missouri and yes Victoria it does get warm here so you have no excuses.

We love your Billy Jean and her back yard and are glad to have shared it with you both.

Stay safe and keep in touch.  Dan & Vickie

PS. Never realized Billy Jean was a racing boat !!!!  :-)
