"What an unforgettable week! Thank you for creating such a special experience for our family. You both went above and beyond in ever possible way, it never went unnoticed.
Thank you for making our kids feel so welcome and included. It meant the world to me that I could fully enjoy snorkeling + all the adventures knowing our 4 - year old too as happily "helping" in the galley and being so well cared for by Miss Tilly (our new best friend!). That kind of trust + ease is a gift on a .

What an amazing week! John and I so appreciate all that you did to make every day perfect. The meals were phenomenal, the hospitality gracious and the details of each day planned to give all of us a fabulous time. We discovered new places to snorkel and dive, had great dinners and CocoMayas and Cooper Island and were glad you could join us! The weather was gorgeous every day. Thank you for sharing this once in a lifetime experience with us.
We love you!

Kyle & Tilly were just amazing. WAY, WAY beyond what we imagined. They both were professional, knew exactly what they were doing, and made outstanding efforts to exceed our expectations every day. We had 3 nice hikes – one at Little JVD and two in St. John. We skipped Coral Bay & had a beautiful anchorage in Ram Head bay with only one other boat. The meals that Tilly prepared were inventive and spectacular every time. We don’t know how she does it. Kyle brought out his.

Thank you both for giving us the benefit of your immense talents and experience - and so much hard work - that permitted us to have such a wonderful eight days with the two of you.
Of course, J, J and P have described the incredible meals, beautiful harbours and (mostly) great weather that we enjoyed. We agree this was all exceptional. But we also greatly enjoyed all of the time spent with each of you. Your humour, patience, knowledge and personalities were t.

Thank you, we could not have asked for a more beautiful week! It was such a joy sailing with you. Everything was perfect from the boat and amenities, the amazing meals and presentations, desserts, table decor, amd wine pairings, the boat drinks, and cocktails. Every suggestion you made from coves to stay in at night, hikes, excursions to Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock, Soggy Dollar was incredibly fun. We are also thankful for you helping u.

As I looked to charter a boat for the family, I was drawn to Bluewinds, why? I had no idea, but I trusted it was the right choice. At the end of this trip I know Bluewinds was not just a bridge to meet the most caring, fun, and loving crew. Captain Travis and Chef Peta, you are both AMAZING and we are so grateful to both of you.
Thank you!

What a week! Thank you both for all you did. Katie you really are a talented and creative chef. Your meals are Michelin star quality in our opinion. The daily bread and "table" bacon were delicious :).
Eben, you are such a knowledgable and professional captain and guide. We know you were probably meant to be a pirate. You picked the perfect spots to anchor, and the snorkeling and diving sites were fantastic. The sai.

Thank you for the most amazing trip. From laid back boat days to Soggy Dollar, we loved it ALL.

My family and I enjoyed a fantastic charter in the BVIs a few years back on the same boat which we believed could never be topped. We were wrong. Our family experience on BlueWinds went well above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. Not only was the refit on the boat incredibly well done and the food incredible - but it was Josh and Bean that made all the difference. They became part of the family as they introduced us to new places, set up rope swings for the kids, taught us how to pla.

Dear Captain Paul and Ashley,
Wayne and I want to thank you for a wonderful adventure / vacation. It was absolutely amazing! The memories we have will last a lifetime.
Captain Paul, all the places you took us starting with the first night in Red Hook to the last night at Lavango everything were amazing. The hike up to Rams Head and jumping off the front of the boat were two of my highlights. Wayne thought snorkeling through the coral reefs was his favo.

Captain, Our Captain... our Captain Paul, the best! Thank you for sharing your love of the seas, for creating a "Playtime" world that values caring for others, sharing the islands, and bringing out the best in others along the way. Cannot understate the "Ashley" connection, subtly creating wonderful constructed meals, deliciously served with grace and pride to match. A delightful spirit that weaves your own magic knitted into Paul's expertise perfectly. May the friendship we have started carr.

We had a wonderful time on the charter. After postponing our trip for a year and a half, we were over-due for a real vacation with the family. The boat was spectacular and Paul & Ashley were great. Playtime was comfortable, especially the brand new cushions throughout the boat. It’s apparent that the owner and Paul pay attention to every single detail in order to ensure smooth sailing and luxurious comfort for all the guests. Captain Paul was AMAZING!

We had the most amazing trip and is certainly our favorite trip by a long shot (which is saying a lot because we have loved every other trip)! Truly, it exceeded any and all expectations and and I believe Paul and Ramona were a large part of that. I honestly cannot think of anything that would have made the trip any more enjoyable.
Paul is clearly an expert captain and wanted to make this a special trip for us. His warm and friendly personality could not have been any more e.

I wanted to take the time to report how amazing our experience was on Playtime on the excursion 2/5-2/12/ 2021 with Captain Paul and Chef Tyler.
We found the Catamaran Playtime to be an able vessel which sailed handily and stably through calm and not so calm seas. There were ample accommodations for our party of 8; even the smaller staterooms we found to be cozy and comfortable and fitting for our needs. The highlights of Playtime would have to be the outdoor spaces: the exterior .

We chartered Playtime December 1st for 10 days. The crew was top notch, Alisha's culinary skills were as good or better than any chef we’ve chartered with, the Mediterranean meals were especially good! We had a sleep aboard the first night but Captain Paul started the charter immediately and we motored over to St John and had Dinner on shore. The crew was very professional and we would charter with them again. The trip included sailing around St. Thomas , St John and then open ocean sailin.
