Our Client's Charter Experience is our top Priority

We love hearing our client reviews! At Harper Yachting our client’s charter experience is our top priority! Repeat clients are the greatest compliment, and we welcome our returning clients year after year.

My wife and I asked Harper Yachting to provide a 14-day vacation in the Greek Islands for our family in June 2023. Audrey did meticulous research on the proper catamaran and crew, as well as on the hotels, restaurants, islands and activities that fit our preferences and needs. The trip turned out to be one of the most enjoyable, relaxing, and stunningly beautiful we have experienced.The Harpers have retired from hands-on catamaran chartering, but lucky for us Audrey has transformed her knowledge and experience to brokering and arranging memorable, magical vacations to anyone looking for the perfect getaway. My family will continue to use Harper yachting because 1. Planning a unique vacation can be daunting and tedious, and 2. Audrey does the heavy lifting and research for us. There is no reason for us to reinvent the wheel when we have an expert right at our finger tips. Audrey, thank you for all the memories thus far…..and all the ones yet to be made!

Thank you so much for giving us a vacation that will be a treasured memory for a lifetime. You went above and beyond in serving us and meeting every need or want we had. Thank you for sharing your incredible talents of cooking, table setting, diving, finding pirate treasure, singing, decorating and making us feel at home! Thank you so much for your hospitality, your kindness towards all of our kiddos and for loving our family so well! We have waited for 20 years for this family holiday and you all made it truly worth the wait! Couldn’t be better!!!! Just heaven. Both crew and boat beyond my highest expectations!!!

Thank you, for a truly unforgettable time on the boat, water and shore. Your crew’s passion, enthusiasm and joy for the boat and your guests create a fantastic atmosphere onboard with the perfect blend of excitement, laughter and relaxation. Your experience and people skills are invaluable and make the trip into what it was. Your helpful and very friendly attitude made us feel like we were in the world’s finest, floating 5-star hotel. You guys set the bar for holidays on water incredibly high. We would love to join you once again!

Floating 5-Star Hotel

Family – Switzerland/England/Canada
Felt like family to crew upon arriving on boat. The best! Our comfort was their priority. Huge congratulations on finding such a very gracious, courteous, easy and open-minded crew. We had the best ever service. Whatever we wanted to do; they were on top of it. Top notch, on top of everything. Crew bent over backwards to meet all of our needs. Many activities engaged at every level. Over the top great. The Captain and crew were expert at everything: scuba diving, sailing, food, making sure guests are having fun. They know the islands, where to go & what to see. Diver Instructor a HUGE plus. Extremely knowledgeable in regard to all aspects of our trip. All meals above and beyond what we expected. Never had better! Loved everything. We would charter this yacht again and again and again.

Our voyage with you this week was just spectacular! Both of you are models of THE BEST host and hostess. We had a wonderful time snorkeling, laughing, fishing, sailing, our tour of the Baths, our fun in the Bubbly Pool, the absolutely gourmet, healthy, fresh, fabulous meals! What a trip to remember! Thank you for your wonderful, caring hospitality. We will always treasure this week. Thank you! You are the THE BEST! We look forward to our next sail with both of you!

Thank you so much for the amazing kindness and impeccable service. We have so many great memories. We laughed so hard our cheeks will hurt for weeks. Looking forward to seeing you all next year, or sooner if you can come and visit us all in Boston!

Impeccable Service

We shared a few pictures of our trip with some close friends back home and their comment was I wouldn’t want to come back home. So, guess what: We do not want to come back home! The pictures are beautiful indeed, but what they do not capture is the magic you two create in your own very special ways. Your smiles at all times that indicate you love what you do and how you do it is untouchable. The days are long and yet it is continually filled with laughter, kindness, attention and supreme service. You all make it look effortless, yet we all know it is anything but! Your talents and skills are unmatched, yet your hearts define it all. Your humor, knowledge and caring presence were an ultimate treat for us. Your chef skills are amazing and you continue to turn up delicious meal’s day after day in a 3 by 6 kitchen! Now that is talent! We will forever remember you and our magical journey. Dreams are seldom surpassed by reality but you two did just that! All our love!

What a wonderful time away we all had. It far surpassed any expectations we may have had and will be the topic of choice when discussing our best memories for years to come. From the first time we stepped on deck, we were welcomed with open hearts. You worked tirelessly to ensure we were always comfortable, entertained, and extremely well cared for and well-fed! We were so impressed with their level of professionalism and competence. They were always mindful of our children, whether it was looking out for their safety while playing with all the amazing toys, instructing and leading them in scuba diving, or just spending time entertaining them with Caribbean stories, history and card tricks! The boat itself is lovely and modern. It was meticulously kept and very comfortable for our large family of 7. There’s just something so relaxing about being gently rocked to sleep each night!

Over the top! Didn’t know it could get this good! Thank you for giving of yourselves all day and night. Your stamina was remarkable. Your personal stories were extraordinary. How can two people have this much humor and this much wisdom and knowledge? Thank you, dear friends, may we do it again and again!

Thank you so much for all the great times, amazing food and unsurpassed service, even today, as we are packing up to leave! Some memories: the chef’s food is the best in the Caribbean, hands down, delicious at every turn. The captain has seemingly endless amount of talents: magic, diving, sailing, boat driving, local and global knowledge, humor and life experience. So impressive! Thank you for deciding to move here and start your nautical adventure! We are so appreciative of your time, talents and care!

Unsurpassed Service

Family – New York, USA
Was a perfect vacation. The locations and choices for stops were great. We had a great mix of private relaxing beaches, quick tours, snorkeling and party days. The food was incredible. Meals and drinks were perfect. Great variety and never needed anything different. Perhaps the best two highlights go hand in hand. First being the amazing crew. Tough to call them a crew because they were part of the experience more than being the crew. Fun to be around, experts at what they do, helped with every want or need. Couldn’t imagine the trip without them. Second highlight because they were so amazing, it was the first vacation (and perhaps first week of adult life) we really didn’t have to make any decisions. It was all taken care of by the crew. All in all – the best vacation ever – hands down. Honestly, I can say this was one of, if not the, best trips of my life. You did such a fabulous job of making sure that our entire group truly relaxed and entertained! From the food, the activities and the sites we saw – it was just amazing! Most times on vacation – by the end people are ready to go home, but not on this one.

Amazing Crew

What a sincere pleasure to have the privilege to sail with you for a week in the BVI. You are such a delightful couple who have made us feel like we are your family. The captain’s humor and quick wit kept us all entertained. Then he would show us his extreme knowledge on many subjects – especially the stargazing. And the chef absolutely amazed us with some of the most delicious and beautiful presentations at breakfast, lunch and dinner. And her smile and charm always complimented each meal. Together as Captain and First Mate they are an unbeatable team. We thank them for one of the most enjoyable and amazing weeks. Absolutely the best!!!

Unbeatable Team

You made our family vacation absolutely sensational! Your hospitality, humor, educational moments, excursions were only some of the highlights!! The boys enjoyed all of the activities. Learning to Scuba dive was truly something will remember forever. You both didn’t miss a trick …. We can’t thank you enough. I am excited to share recipes with you. It was unbelievable how you were able to make one meal better than the next. Charlie’s pirate experience was wonderful. Watching his excitement made the voyage even more fun. Eric enjoyed every water activity and we had such pleasure watching Bryan being so relaxed, which was needed. They all enjoyed learning to sail. Mark is now an expert at grabbing the pick-up buoy. My in-laws haven’t stopped raving about it all. We were strangers at the beginning of the week and have now become friends for life. We are looking forward to seeing you again.
