TESTIMONIALS
We just got back to DC tonight and I wanted to say thank you for sharing your boat with us. Our group all agreed that this was the best trip we had ever experienced. The bar was high, many of us have had experience with Viking Chateâux, Rivers & Wine, a private yacht tour on The M.S. My Way sailing round-trip Dubrovnik to Dubrovnik, Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, etc.. Riverboat charters in Ireland and Scotland, and a couple of gals whose idea of adventure is to go to the Ritz-Carlton for tea, .
Hats off to Southern Queen
Trip was phenomenal. Sofia the captain was unreal. She planed a vacation of a life time. Jennie our chef made food that was 5 star. I hope to be part of another adventure with them..
AMAZING
Our family just returned from a vacation aboard Southern Queen, enjoying a week of hospitality from Captain Sofia and Chef Jenine. While nothing we could possibly write in this review would match the magical time we had, we’ll give it our best shot. Firstly, Southern Queen is a gem! We looked at many boats and are so happy we decided on this one. The boat is well appointed, spacious, clean, nicely decorated with modern finishes and a ton of space for everyone to have their own daytime lounger fo.
Southern Queen – What a Dream!
Our adventure on the Southern Queen with Sofia and Jenine was spectacular. We swam during the day and had night swim, paddle boarded, snorkeled, and played games. Captain Sofia is a skilled navigator and tailored the events to our desires and each location we explored brought new experiences. The meals created by Jenine were delicious and beautifully presented. Jenine met all our food and beverage desires, we didn’t want for anything. Each meal was 5 star. Jenine and Sofia are engaging, approa.
Spectacular !!!
My wife and I joined 4 other couples on board the Southern Queen. Their crew took us through the BVIs for a week and we had a great time seeing all the sites along the way: St John’s, walking the caves in the Baths, Soggy Dollar, Foxy’s, Saba Rock, The Bitter End Yacht club, Cooper Island Rum Bar. The boat is brand new and the food was incredible. We had gourmet meals breakfast, lunch and dinner. What an awesome trip. We are starting to plan our trip now for next year..
Best experience on the Southern Queen
An absolutely heavenly week with Paula and Simon. The boat is new and luxurious and gorgeous, and the USVIs are breathtaking. But more than the setting, what really blew us away, was our crew. Paula and Simon turned this into the trip of a lifetime. We were Paula’s first all-vegan charter but you would have thought she was a completely vegan chef. Every single meal was 5-star quality. We are so spoiled now. How will we ever eat well again without Paula?? Right off the bat, you get the sense th.
An absolutely heavenly week with Paula and Simon
We set sail May 29 – June 5, 2022 with Simon and Paula! Our trip was amazing! We’ve already recommended this vacation destination, sailing and the best crew to our family and friends! We came into the trip with no itinerary plans because we wanted to leave it up to our crew, and they did not disappoint! The food was amazing, as well as the sailing and all of the laughs we shared with Simon and Paula! We enjoyed them being on board with us and getting to know them. They really made our trip the.
They really made our trip the BEST vacation!
Thank you for all of the incredible hospitality, adventures and memories that will last forever! We are so grateful for you two!.
Thank you for all of the incredible hospitality, adventures and memories that will last forever!
We had the most amazing vacation with Simon and Paula! We had two families on board, and they did everything to make this an unforgettable family vacation. Simon took our kids wakeboarding in multiple locations. Paula made each meal unforgettable! Thank you for making this a fun and relaxing time for all!! We can’t wait to come back..
Wonderful Family Vacation
Amazing trip on the Southern Queen with Captain Simon La Rioux and First Mate / Chef Paula Milovac. They spent 7 days making sure everything was ideal from taking our 6 kids wake boarding and tubing to serving the adults amazing meals (& the kids what they actually eat). We will certainly be back and would highly recommend to anyone. Personally I have don’t this trip 8 times and this was the best boat, crew, etc of all..
Southern Queen
It was amazing, Simon and Paula were unbelievable. They made my husbands 50th birthday sail better than we could’ve imagined! The food, drinks and fun we had aboard Sunshine Baby 2 was above and beyond and we can’t wait to go back and sail with them again!.
Simon and Paula were unbelievable
Thank you so much for an eventful and exciting trip! We appreciate all of the hard work and time you both put in to make this happen and to give our family an experience of a lifetime!.

thanks so very much for making this trip of a lifetime!
We sailed with Simon and Paula and we were incredibly impressed by the professionalism and hospitality! Both Simon and Paula went above and beyond their roles as Captain and Chef. They did not overlook a single detail to ensure we had a relaxing and enjoyable trip! Simon is an excellent captain as well as very friendly and personable- we felt like we were being hosted by dear friends! Paula’s meals are easily 5 star worthy both in taste and presentation!! We truly hope to sail with them again .
incredibly impressed by the professionalism and hospitality
Absolutely amazing week with Chef Paula and Captain Simon!!!! We couldn’t have imagined a better week. This was our second group trip to the islands, first was chartered out of BVI and this one with Ocean Yacht Club out of USVI. Trips of a lifetime, that is for sure. Paula’s cuisine was exceptional!!!! Every meal was breathtaking! I don’t know how we go on without Paula’s cooking. Simon planned every day and every stop perfectly for our group!! We appreciate the level of detail and thoug.
It was perfect in every way!!! Highly highly recommended!
We lost track of time all week & were only reminded based on when Paulas amazing meals were served! And we never missed snack time. This was the adventure of a lifetime with the most incredible chef + skipper, Paula + Simon. The blue water, sunshine, amazing company & crew will leave lasting memories!.
This was the adventure of a lifetime with the most incredible chef + skipper
We sailed with Simon and Paula and it was a fantastic trip and our crew were very accommodating and friendly. Simon was a great captain and made sure we had everything we needed to make our trip a success. Paula cooked some great meals and we couldn’t wait to see what her next creation was going to be. We were never disappointed. We would highly recommend the crew. Well worth the cost..
We would highly recommend the crew
Beautiful boat, islands, water and skies. What made our trip the greatest was by far our amazing crew. Simon & Paula are truly the best. It takes a special kind of person to make a group feel like they can relax and take in all the fun and beauty the islands have to offer. Thank you Paula & Simon, you’re officially family now..
What made our trip the greatest was by far our amazing crew
When people ask about this trip, my only answer is incredible! Everything was incredible… the boat, the people, the islands… However, what made it unforgettable was Paula + Simon! Paulas cooking was ridiculous! We never had a watch on, just navigated our days around the meal bell. Every meal was beautiful and well thought out. Thank you for making us feel like we were in your home. Simon, it didn’t matter what we asked, he did everything and anything with a smile. He is definitely the most.
you both are incredible people inside and out

ChefCaptain Nick:
Growing up in Ireland, Nick was always just a hop, skip, and a splash away from the water. He kicked off his sailing journey at a cozy little school on Dublin’s East coast, and it didn’t take long for him to realize he’d found his true calling. Starting from those early days, Nick sailed his way to becoming a top-notch Dinghy, Keelboat, and Racing Instructor, mastering every level and skill set along the way.
Nick’s passion for sailing led him to the racing circuit, where he rocked roles from bowman to mainsail trimmer to helmsman. After racking up some impressive race wins, he set his sights on the open seas, skippers across stunning locales like Croatia, Greece, Italy, Australia, the Bahamas, and finally, the Virgin Islands.
With years of experience and a treasure trove of sailing knowledge, Nick is excited to take clients on unforgettable adventures. Get ready for an experience that you’ll be talking about for years to come! 🌊⛵️
