TESTIMONIALS
This was our second time sailing the BVIs aboard the beautiful catamaran, Ithaka, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt right at home. The boat is incredibly comfortable, impeccably maintained, and fully stocked with all the amenities you could need for a relaxing yet adventurous getaway. The captain and chef were outstanding—professional, warm, and truly made the experience special. The meals were delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and.
Second Time Aboard Ithaka!
Just returned from an EPIC 6-day charter in the BVI aboard Ithaka. The captain aboard was fantastic, friendly and attentive to all passengers needs/requests. We smoothly sailed to the best locations and anchored in calm waters for peaceful nights aboard ship. The chef was next level providing meals with phenomenal flavors – no snacking was ever needed. She too was friendly and attentive to all passengers needs/requests and had everyone’s coffee orders down after the first day :). The catam.
EPIC
We had an amazing trip on board Ithaka in the Virgin Islands. The boat is in phenomenal shape, the beds were very comfortable, and the amenities on the boat were top tier. The captain and the chef on board took great care of us for the entire trip. It was hard to pick a favorite meal because they were all incredible! Our group will definitely be back on board Ithaka again in the future. It was the best way to truly experience everything the Virgin Islands has to offer. – Cody .
The boat is in phenomenal shape!
We had an AMAZING trip on board the Ithaka. Captain Nate was very accommodating and professional but also a lot of fun to be around. He graciously answered everyone’s questions about the Ithaka, sailing in general, other boats on the water, and the area. He did all of that while also occasionally playing bartender and creating fantastic island inspired rum drinks for us. Our chef, Makayla, was also fantastic. The meals were phenomenal and inspired. We all jokingly observed on the last day that w.

Amazing Week!
Captain Clayton & Chef Jill were fantastic the entire week. We felt extremely safe with our captain running the boat, and both Clayton & Jill spent time with us in the water snorkeling, which was fun and helpful. They know the BVI very well and gave us excellent options throughout our trip and brought us to many great places. They were always available to meet any & all of our needs, yet we were completely able to relax on our own. The guest cabins were quite comfortable. The master suite was.

From swimming with sea turtles to snorkeling the Tektite siko, it was all wonderful! Thank you for taking us free diving, Clayton, we loved every minute of it. The kids also loved surfing behind the dinghy and all the time spent out on the water. Thank you for all of the wonderf.

Five star Captain. Feel very secure the whole trip. There were 4 adolescents that got along with the crew thanks to Clay and Briley. Planning every day activities was real easy with them. Saw some spectacular sandy beaches, amazing sunsets and great spots for snorkeling and swimming. Briley’s peanut butter pie was the highlight of he dining experience. God blessed them forever. Highly recommended, the whole group were all so relaxed and felt at ease..
