Thank you for making our family trip so much fun, relaxing & memorable. So many firsts for us: swimming with sharks, catching baracudas, enjoying the beauty of the soooo Blue ocean waters...amazing and hard to describe. We enjoyed your great food and our restaurant experience at Norman's Cay Yacht Club - never went to dinner via dinghy before LOL!!
We hope our paths cross again soon!

Thank you so much for taking such good care of us as a family and showing us the best of the Exumas. All the activities you have shown and let us experienced will be hard to beat anywhere in the world. The Zuri3 song describes every aspect of this incredable experience - a piece of heaven on earth, the place we want to be!

Thank you so much for the most incredible week! Zuri3 is certainly a special yacht and you two are the cherry on top!! The hospitality and food was incredable.
I can't describe how much we have enjoyed ourselves this week. Never did I think I would be kissing a shark! What a fun experience and we will play the Zuri3 song always. Eric Ollesen.
Thank you so much for the most incredible week!
I had such a great time! The food was amazing (and I'm a picky eater) It was such an awesome experience, especially when we were swimming with the nurse sharks. It was incredibly beautiful and the snorkeling in the aquarium was splendid. I would love to come back and do everything again. Charlotte Horton.
I would love to come back and do everything again.
If you book a trip like this, you are never sure about what type of lasting memory it will provide. From the moment we were greeted to the last perfectly presented meal - the feeling was that you are entering a friends home. The beauty of the Exumas was on full display - undescribable!
What started as an idea ended up to be the best memories we have ever gathered that could not have happened without your generosity and ability to make our week incredibly special. Thank you André &.
Undescribable!
Dear André & Magda
This was one of the best "if not the BEST" experiences of our lives!

Oh André & Magda -
Thank you for this amazing week with you all on Zuri3. We felt so at home back at sea in our favourite cruising ground and on top of that we were treated like kings & queens. Your experience, knowledge and sense of humor made this a perfect cruise.
See you again soon, we hope!
Wishing you fair seas and only easy guests!

Thank you for this amazing week!
Dear André & Magda
Organising a charter for six very discerning members of the Royal Yacht Squadron is never easy with a wishlist longer than any of the many sharks we saw.
Yet, on Zuri3 you both completely nailed it! The yacht is a real credit to you both in terms of the decor, professionalism, hospitality and knowledge of just where we are.
We take away so many happy memories that will last a lifetime.
With all good wishes - Christine & John Dare.
So many happy memories that will last a lifetime.
Dear André and Magda
We have spent an extrodenary 10 days with you both exploring the beautiful Exumas. Each day so different and full of memorable surprises both the beaches and anchorages we visited and the three daily feasts you prepared for us.
André, nothing was too much trouble and with you, we always felt safe. Verginia loved her coffee that you made for her every morning!
Magda, not only was everything we eat varied and delicious, but the presentation a.
Thank you for an unforgettable holiday.

This week has exceeded our expectations! Thank you for the hospitality and making us feel so at home and a part of the "Zuri" family!
We appreciated the planning that went into our adventure and so trusted that we were in good hands to enjoy the best part of the Exumas. We were so well fed, had many laughs, great conversations and created lasting memories that will stay with us forever.
We cannot explain our gratitude enough!

Love Matthew & Natalie Turetsky.
Truly wonderful experience
André & Magda
This has truly been a trip of a lifetime! We have made so many special memories - Matt screaming under water at sharks, seeing schools of spotted rays, feeding enormous pigs from the comfort of the dingy, snorkeling reefs & caves, swimming with and holding nurse sharks!! It has been AMAZING... but you guys are the heart and soul of this trip for us. You took us aboard & treated us like family. You both are truly wonderful. I leave here feeling inspired by .

Zuri 3 Exuma, Bahamas 7-day voyage
We are just back from a voyage around Exuma with Andre and Magda on the Zuri 3, a 54’ Bali catamaran. First, our hosts: they could have not been more welcoming and friendly. Clearly, working very hard to make our trip everything we wanted and more. Our group was treated to a side of the Bahamas none of us knew existed. All of us had been to Nassau, but we didn’t know much of the island chain is uninhabited and spectacularly beaut.
November 2025
Magda, you absolutely spoiled me with the delicious and specialized meals for my very restrictive diet! You and Andre showed us some of the most beautiful beaches and waters we’ve ever seen in such fun ways— all the while with your sweet personalities waiting on us non-stop! We absolutely loved our time together and hope we get to come again soon.
Hugs from Texas! Kathy.

We made the most wonderful memories on Z3 and each day was full of new adventures for us and the kids. Thank you for the impeccable hospitality, attentiveness to every detail and need, and wonderful food and drink! We also so appreciate you being fabulous photographers to help document every aspect of our trip. We will remember this forever!
Love from Curt, Michelle, Cooper & Jack.

The trip of a lifetime! Sailing aboard Zuri 3 with Andre & Magda was a great adventure. We had so much fun exploring beautiful areas only accessible by sea. Andre & Magda met the needs of our 2 teenage boys (hard to do!) as well as ours (2 adults) perfectly. Thank you for the lovely meals, cocktails, and memories!

We had a lovely time on Zuri 3 with Magda & Andre! Our family of four was well-fed and entertained. It was a trip of a lifetime and we are grateful to this amazing crew. Fishing, snorkeling, dance parties, delicious food & plenty of beverages! Thank you (danke!) for hosting us and being a part of our memories of a lifetime!”

Our crew was spectacular!! The meals were delicious and plentiful!! They knew just where to go and were extremely friendly an fun to be around. We had such a ball with them — singing, dancing, joking, playing card games at night, as well as visiting the islands. They make you feel like they're your friends, and not just a captain and chef. I can't say enough good things about Andre and Magda!! We would love to have them as our crew again in a future charter!

This was our first time visiting the British Virgin Islands... We had absolutely the best time island hopping while laughing and exploring Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, Anagada, Scrub Island, St. John, and finally St. Thomas. Our captain, Andre and his wife, Magda showed us the best time ever. They became part of our family.

Andre went out of his way each and every day to make sure we understood our options for the day. His sole focus was that we felt safe, comfortable and relaxed. If we inquired about anything additional he would take all the time to explain and we did ask a million questions. He was fun and set the mood each and every day for what a vacation should be. Brandon really wanted to spear fish and he even hooked us up with his son and made it happen.
Magda was nothing short of excellence..

Magda & Andre,
Thank you both for THE most wonderful trip! We all had such an amazing time and can't imagine having a better crew to do it with! Thank you Andre for getting us to see the most we could - and safely! Magda, thank you for the wonderful food and conversations. We wish you the best for the remainder of the season and if we don't see you again down here in the Bahamas, we hope to see you up in Calgary!.

Andre and Magda were incredibly gracious and served up fabulous meals, and we had a lot of laughs together. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Since we were not familiar with the Bahamas, we didn’t initially appreciate the travel time from Nassau to the Exumas, but in retrospect, we might have explored using airports in the Exumas for a shorter charter. That said, it was a fantastic trip from start to finish!.
