TESTIMONIALS

After talking about a sailing charter vacation for several years with friends, our family finally decided it was time to make it happen. Instead of going with a larger group, we chose to take the trip with just the four of us—my wife and I and our two children, ages 18 and 21. After researching numerous charter boats, reading reviews, and watching videos, we ultimately selected Paradigm Shift.

Like many people planning their first charter, we spent a lot of time comparing bo.

Crew Review from Previous Yacht - June 2026

Our trip on Paradigm Shift was amazing!! The boat was pristine and well equipped and Kari and Kendall were absolutely amazing!! Kendall set up a Zoom call with us prior to our trip and took down all of our wants and needs. And he ended up putting together an itinerary that was tailored to exactly what we wanted. And Kari's cooking was beyond our expectations. We ate like kings and queens. And finally, we got to know them so well that we are still in touch and they may visit us this summer. Such .

Crew Review from Previous Yacht - April 2026

This was my first charter experience, and here's what I learned: It’s all about the crew! From the moment we met Chef Kari, with her warm and infectious smile, and Captain Kendall, who immediately made us feel welcome, we knew we were in excellent hands! This incredible team has a chemistry that will be hard to find on any other charter. They have a way of naturally creating a positive, fun, and authentic vibe that at the end of the trip, you won't want to leave. From start to finish, we f.

Guests aboard RumAway in March of 2025 commented

From the moment we booked the trip to the (sad) moment we got off the boat, everything was perfect. Tara and Travis planned the most wonderful itinerary for us around the BVI, kept a drink in our hands and fed us the most amazing food. The boat is awesome, from the small touches (our own Stanley water bottles and insulated cups to use on board) to the big ones (the floating dock and the furniture on the front of the boat), we could not have asked for anything more…except to stay another w.

Our family vacation to the BVI was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. While out at sea, the sail, the scenery, and yacht made the trip refreshing and chill. The land tours and snorkeling was amazing. The Baths and Copper mine tour were extremely unique and each snorkel spot held different underwater creatures and colorful coral. Our charter, Rum Away, had the perfect layout to accommodate our family of five. The Crew was amazing! We now count Captain Travis and Tara as part of our famil.
