We have traveled to many parts of the US and other parts of the world but I must say this adventure is right up there as a trip of a lifetime!!
Captain Jon’s sailing resume and lifetime experiences in the BVI made us feeling safe and in good hands along with his life long experiences in the BVI providing us with island history we could never experience with another charter. Chef Suzanne was an absolute delight and her culinary expertise provided high end dining well beyond our expec.

Thank you, Captain Jon, steady and true
Capable and conscientious in all that you do
With expert hands and a watchful eye
You guided our journey by sea and by sky.
Tipsy's and Soggy Dollar, both sunlit and sweet
Perfect stops, each a Caribbean treat
Marina Cay sparkled, the caves were divine
Every stop was a memory, perfectly timed.
And Chef Suzanne, what a gift you are-
Talented, warm, a true culinary star

BVIs Hellos and Goodbyes
To Captain Jon and Chef Suzanne,
You plotted our course and laid our our plan
We set sail from the harbor at West End
To spend a whole week with our best friends
The sights, cold drinks and great food we did eat
Not much we could ask for, not more could be beat
Clear blue water to swim in, soft white sand that we walked on
Early evenings we'd set in, Debbie up with the dawn
Long days, Carib for Dave a.

A once in a lifetime birthday trip! We had a blast mixing friends and making new ones with Captain Jon and Chef Suzanne. The trip could not have been better and would not have been the same without them. All the little touches they did from the remembrance dinner to the birthday decorations made the trip what it was and something to always remember.
Thanks for everything and we can't wait to see where you end up next.

What an amazing time we had from snorkeling the caves to Anegada, the Baths, enjoying the beach at Jost Van Dyke, Sydney's Peace & Love and our last day at Mongoose Junction. Hard to pick a favorite.
We loved watching Jon and Suzanne's teamwork and appreciate them sharing their knowledge of the islands and Soggy Doggy.

The "POS in Style" wanted to take a moment to thank you for a fantastic trip! It was truly a memorable experience. The scenery was absolutely incredible. We enjoyed every spot you took us to with White Bay being our favorite! Thank you especially for keeping for our bellies full and us very "hydrated"! Your bushwackers are the best! Your hospitality and attention to detail made the whole trip perfect! Cheers!

Captain Jon and Suzanne,
Thank you for one of our favorite family vacations! It has incredible sights, sounds and savoring... all in just one week. We have seen ridiculously beautiful beaches, water in all shades to turquoise and amazing creativity in fish and coral. I have heard much laughter from my guys that fills my heart! And of course, the sound of the waves! We have tasted amazing food and drinks that we never have at home.
You both have the gift of serv.

Captain, Jon and Suzanne,
Thank you for the great adventure! This was our first experience like this and you did not disappoint. Your effort to accommodate was truly appreciated and noticed. Every day was a new adventure and a lot of laughs. We like to learn and you both are great teachers- that says a lot!
Suzanne, your chef skills were awesome and seemed almost too easy, haha.
Jon, thanks for all the patience. Stay tuned – could see everyone again?

Captain Jon, Chef, Suzanne,
This week was truly amazing. The islands we visited, the sunrises, the sunsets, my special birthday week. It will be tough to top this next year.
The food was awesome, the drinks, the desserts and appetizers. Your knowledge of the islands and where to go with me this experience special. Hope you will come visit on your way up 75 north in Texas. Thank you for everything you did for us to make this week special. Once in a lifetime trip.

What an incredible week The Harrells and Romanos had on Soggy Doggy. Sitting around the table on our last dinner together along with Captain Jon and Chef Suzanne, we each shared our individual highs and lows. It was abundantly clear that trying to come up with any lows was a real challenge. We collectively agreed that our first day on the boat was self-inflicted!!
Despite being limited to the USVI (passports on our end) and some unseasonably high winds, Jon and Suzanne .

Captain Jon and Chef Suzanne,
Thank you for the amazing journey. Our family enjoyed this trip immensely. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity to make wonderful memories as a family. We will never forget the beautiful beaches, snorkeling, the kids' jumps at Willy T's and the delicious food that Suzanne prepared daily. Suzanne Rocks!!! Captain Jon is the best Captain in all of the Virgin Islands. We can't wait to see 'Captain Babe's Spicy Margs' at our loc.

BEST VACATION EVER!
Perfect balance of adventure, exploration, fun, family time, sunsets and relaxation. Soggy Doggy and her crew were great and we loved the tandem sail with One Love. HIghlights included snorkeling Christmas cove, swimming with sea turtles, and cocktails at Tipsy's!
Thanks for everything and we look forward to being back someday.

Captain Jon and Chef Suzanne,
Your work ethic and teamwork made our trip stress free and beyond enjoyable. You both worried about details so we didn't have to. Jason, Sarah, Troy and I had more time to enjoy each other's company because of your planning and organization. You are living the life most can only dream of. I appreciate you sharing a bit of that with us.
May safe journeys be ever in your future.

It is heartwarming to witness friends who plan, execute and then LIVE the life they intended. And I do appreciate the opportunity to share a few legs of that journey with you. Your guests are grateful for the "above and beyond" attitude you have for each one of us. From foods to stops, activities and music, you always went out of your way to customize the trip and make it genuinely unique.
Until we meet again, wishing you the very best in all.

Captain Jon & Chef Suzanne,
Thank you for our amazing week full of adventures from exploring The Baths to sailing to/from Anegada. I believe we hit all the hotspots in the BVI but I know we have a ton more to explore next time! We had a tough group with food likes and dislikes but Chef Suzanne did an amazing job offering selections that catered to everyone's tastes!
It's sad that we are on our last day but so happy we have wonderful memories to take home w.

This vacation was the most eye opening experience with the immense beauty the islands have to offer. Willy T's was my favorite experience because of the upbeat environment. Every place we visited was beautiful and the entire trip was incredible. Captain Jon and Chef/First Mate Suzanne were incredible, so welcoming and just delightful people. They made the trim a million times better.

It's hard to put into a few words all we are feeling right now. This has been a trip that will remain in our memories for a lifetime. Watching our family relax, spend quality time together and have a ton of fun was so heartwarming. We felt so safe with Captain Jon at the helm and Chef Suzanne kept all our dietary needs met and at the same time made delicious and beautifully presented meals.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Dear Captain Jon and Amazing Suzanne,
We could not have picked a better crew and had a more incredible experience in the USVI's and BVI's! Celebrating Amie and Suzanne's birthdays... every stop was incredible.. Every meal and snack was incredible! The tradition of Captain's happy hour was so much fun! The Baths and private concert in Christmas Cove were the highlights!
You made our week so special. Thank you so much!

What a fabulous experience we had with you! From the island recommendations, to the snorkeling spots, the fun Christmas celebration and Fabulous Food— it was perfect! We will miss you guys. We hope to sail with you again (Emerson says next year 😀). We hope you have a fabulous season on the Soggy Doggy!

What an adventure!!! We planned this trip in our dreams and it finally came to fruition this year with our best friends. We came in not knowing how amazing this would be and the trip totally exceeded our exceptions. We loved exploring quiet islands and lively fun at Willy-T’s and Soggy Dollar. The captain and Suzanne curated an epic trip that we will never forget. Suzanne also made Christmas morning so special with fun family games and awesome breakfast. We hope to sail again!
