TESTIMONIALS
Our family recently enjoyed an incredible week-long charter on the Zingara in the British Virgin Islands. It was spectacular! From the moment we stepped aboard, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality from the crew. The sailing catamaran yacht itself was a beautiful - spacious, luxurious, and impeccably maintained, it provided the perfect setting for our family vacation. The cabins were comfortable and well-appointed. The multi-story deck was our favorite spot, where we spe.
The Sullivan's Said:
We had a fantastic vacation aboard the Zingara! We were expecting it to be a great trip, but it exceeded our expectations. The catamaran was roomy, including 5 guest bedrooms each with their own bathroom, large front and back decks, and interior lounge area with a bar, table and sofas. It also was well equipped with all the amenities we could ask for. But what made our experience truly amazing was the crew. They did a fantastic job in every aspect and ran the boat seemingly effortlessly. Chef Ed.

Ulla, Thanks for following up. We thought our last trip we booked with you was a trip of a lifetime and never thought we could get better. This trip was even better, by far. Maybe because it has been 2 years and of course we certainly enjoyed the last trip, but this boat and crew was over the top. They certainly customized the trip to us and what we wanted to do. Hugh was an amazing Captain and our personalities all meshed so well. His friend Maxine did a great job with the food. We couldn’t .

I wanted to provide some feedback for you on our recent trip on the Zingara. We had a fabulous time, and it was an exceptional vacation for us all. We were very worried after our last trip with Captain Lee and Cami, we would never be able to replace the experience. However, Captain Hugh is so young and energetic. He is light-hearted, but very serious when it comes to the safe operations of the boat therefore you feel a ton of confidence in his capability. Perhaps since he is only 2.

My wife and I just finished a 6 night charter on the Zingara with our 4 adult kids and their significant others. Our party of 10 was completely comfortable with the 5 suite floor plan. My wife scheduled our cruise and we were both a little cautious about a 24 y/o captain and young crew but could not have asked for a better experience. Hugh was an absolute professional who takes great care of the passengers and the boat. Safety was always his priority. Gabi and Kyle catered to our every need and .

This was our first family charter ever and we have already decided that we need to go on another charter on Zingara. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It is truly like sailing in a 5-star hotel, only you have beautiful sunny days sailing on crystal clear waters. The crew, the meals, and all the activities were top notch. The amenities are all as described and even better. Who can resist being waited on by staff ready to provide all requests expertly and always with a smile? None in the famil.

We just returned from an epic adventure on board Zingara. Captain Cami was very professional and extremely knowledgeable with every detail of Zingara. She tailored our vacation so that we could sail, allowed us to explore islands and take us to some of the best dive spots in the BVI’s. We were so appreciative of her efforts helping us obtain our BVI entry approvals and PCR testing for return to the US. Our chef Katie was outstanding! She worked countless hours in the galley preparing deli.

Dear Lee, Tyler, Camille and Andres Thank you for making our return to the beautiful BVI’s as special as before. It’s been 17 years since we last visited and post hurricane it is back in great shape.

Just back from a week in the British Virgin Islands on Zingara. The boat was beautiful and the crew friendly and accommodating. Best of all the islands are back in business and the water and beaches as beautiful as ever, with the added bonus of being less crowded than usual. Thanks again!.
Late January, 2018, guests aboard catamaran ZINGARA said:
Hi Lee We were all talking over dinner tonight in the Miami airport about what an amazing time we had with you , Andres, Camille and Tyler this past week. Frankly , we were expecting the BVI's to be a bit war torn after the hurricanes , but were pleasantly surprised to see things nearly back to normal. The st Thomas airport was in fine shape and the islands in the BVI 's as beautiful as we remembered. Dinner on Anagada was great, the Soggy Dollar bar was a lot of fun and scuba diving in sev.
New Years guests aboard catamaran ZINGARA said:
Just wanted to drop a short note thanking you for a wonderful journey aboard Zingara this past week. For those who are hesitant to visit the US or the British Virgin Islands in the wake of the hurricanes that hit this past fall, I would suggest that now or later this season is the exact right time to visit. While certain restaurants and bars may be closed, new ones have cropped up and some of the old stalwarts, like Soggy Dollar Bar, are up and better than ever. The waters are a lot less crow.
2017 Yuletide guests aboard catamaran ZINGARA said
The staff on the Zingara was amazing from the time we stepped onto the boat to the time we left. Our group needed some extra help with travel arrangements and the crew didn't hesitate to accommodate our needs. (Some people couldn't get into port on time for departure so they rerouted and picked us up on another island!) It made us feel at ease knowing the crew would help and arrange our various arrivals. Daily we woke up to smiles and unprecedented service. The meals were OUTSTANDING and touc.

Thank you for a wonderful time.The ten days on Zingara could not have been better.One complaint, your chef and crew, they caused me to gain 10 pounds. How is that possible in ten days. George also gained a lot. I guess the food must have been crazy good and the drinks just kept on coming. All your staff was great, constantly offering more drinks and looking for ways to please us at every turn. I have had a couple of captains before, on my 60' sport fisher, and by far you were the most.

Dear Lee, Kirin, Michelle & TJ:We are still ‘floating’ from this most amazing adventure in the BVI’s. There were so many highlights from our trip - the different islands we sailed to each day, taking advantage of all the activities the Zingara had on board - snorkeling, paddleboarding, scuba, tubing to name a few! But what made this trip really special was the level of service we all encountered, which enabled each of our families to spend the relaxing, quality time we all very much n.

We are experienced yacht charterers, as we have been many boats with many different crew. First of all, the boat. Zingara is a perfect layout for 8 or 10 people (we had 10). There is plenty of space and different areas on the boat to spread out. Not only that, but she is provisioned well with many toys and activities. The SCUBA equipment in particular is new and very nice, which is important. The new owners have put money into the boat and it clearly makes a difference. Nice linens and towels, i.
