Swish Guest Comments
A family group of 4 that we booked aboard Swish in May of 2011 had the following positive comments:
Hi Lynne, so sorry for tardy reply but...you guessed it...vacations vanish quickly in the corporate world. However, some feedback and all positive:
- First of all, the 50ft 'Swish' cat was a great choice...big, easy sailing, comfortable, private 4 corner each with en-suite, places to sunbath, AC, etc
- Grant and Tara were a great match for us...well done in choosing them for us...and we loved the Springbok/Aussie flavor, sense of humor and customer focus
- They were young and 'hip' enough to check with our 'babies'...Kevin 25 and Kirsty 20...but perfect in looking after the baby boomer
- Grant is an experienced sailor/captain and we always felt safe...he also enjoyed a wee whiskey talking to our son Kevin, and solving world problems
- Grant is also very meticulous and clean...has worked as a waiter and it showed the way he served and tidied up...the owners should know he looks after their asset and is trustworthy
- Tara is a 'gift' from God...she is a genius in the kitchen and her gourmet cooking is to die for...June took photos of every dish and sent Tara a portfolio
- Attention to detail was a key for us...every day we had new table mats to go with the menu...great wines from the cooler...and our taste buds exploded
- We also loved how they were sooo relaxed and seemed to flow with our timetable ...getting up later was not an issue, diving before lunch, drinks at a bar before/after dinner (all no problems)
- Tara doubled as the Dive Master...very professional, safe, adventurous, and informative.
- Tara also got Kirsty to 'love' the scuba introduction course...Kirsty is a natural in the water and Tara a natural teacher
As you can see, we TRULY enjoyed this vacation (first time for all 4 family members together in 2 yrs)...our 30th anniversary (which Grant/Tara celebrated with a cake) ...and would ABSOLUTELY recommend Grant/Tara and 'Swish' to others without reservations. I really hope they visit us in Texas...they would be welcomed as part of our family.
Swish Crew Comments
We were aboard Swish at the 2010 crewed charter yacht show in the BVI. We immediately found Grant and Tara to be very welcoming and really easy to sit down and chat with. When asked about her cuisine, Tara explained that she is basically self-taught, but had the opportunity to work alongside a Chef on a Super Yacht where she was able to truly hone her skills. When asked about three highlights of a typical charter aboard Swish, they mentioned the food, the diving, and all the activities aboard, pointing out that Grant is good at teaching the various activities to their guests and that their youthfulness allows them to keep up with even the most active of charter guests. Finally, they mentioned that "their guests are guaranteed to have a relaxing, fun, and enjoyable vacation while enjoying excellent cooking aboard Swish".
