WINDFALL Charter
Monday, June 1, 2009
Dennis,
We only just arrived home but can tell you that the cruise on Windfall was great. Raffi and Lisa were perfect hosts and Raffi has become hooked on playing 500, which is a card game played with partners where you have to bid for the number of tricks you think you can get in a nominated suit. Raffi was the perfect host and Lisa was a great chef. I would recommend this trip to anyone because Raffi will give you choices about what you want to do and when you want to do it and if Captain Bligh had been as easy going as Raffi we would not have had a mutiny on the Bounty.
Thanks for your help as well.

CRYSTAL CLEAR Charter
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Dear Dennis,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased Marcela and I are with the honeymoon charter we took aboard the yacht Crystal Clear. The only thing that would have improved the experience would have been a longer charter. We were not ready to leave at the end of our five nights. We had a ‘perfect’ time. The vessel is absolutely gorgeous. It is meticulously maintained with the utmost pride and discipline by Captain and Mate. It was a pleasure to be aboard her. Charly and Carolina are great crew and hosts. The mechanics of great cooking and guest services can all be learned (and we had both in abundance on the trip), but the art of genuine and sincere Hospitality can only come from the heart. Kudos to Charly and Carolina for their passion and truly loving what they do. As I told you on the phone, I feel that Marcela and I left Crystal Clear with new life long friends and we hope to do another charter with them soon. And thanks to you the whole process was effortless. Thanks for recommending Crystal Clear and for doing a great job, Dennis!
Sincerely,
Cole and Marcela Widney
TIPUTA Charter
Monday, July 14, 2008
Dear Dennis,
Our family was so very impressed with our week aboard the Tiputa in June. We were met at the airport by our Captain, Jean-Marc. He took us under his wing, and took excellent care of us for the remainder of our trip. I might mention that our cousin, William Lee, is a disabled Navy veteran and has much difficulty walking. When Jean-Marc parked at the airport with the view of assisting our cousin, he was given a parking ticket because he did not have a handicapped license. In the interest of fairness, I hope Jean-Marc is relieved (or at least reimbursed) for this parking ticket - he should not have to be penalized for helping a disabled person.
Upon arrival at the marina, we were taken on-board the Tiputa - our home away from home for a full week - we were thrilled! The boat is so spacious and beautiful, and everything was “ship-shape” and sparkling. Emanuelle, the crew member, welcomed us on board and both she and Jean-Marc made us feel welcome. They both understood the special reasons for our trip and helped us to plan an itinary that would accomodate our plans.
Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners were looked forward to with great anticipation - Emanuelle is creative and an excellent chef. She prepared wonderful meals, serving a variety of special treats. We were constantly amazed at the meals that she was able to prepare in the boat galley.
By the end of our trip, we wanted to bring Jean-Marc and Emanuelle back home with us! They were excellent hosts in every aspect and we look forward to sailing with them again in the future. To sum up, everything was professional and first class all the way. The Tiputa, with Jean-Marc at the helm and Emanuelle as the crew, are highly recommended. Please pass on our comments and appreciation to the boat owners.
Warmest regards,
Paula Curran
