Reviews from our Carefree Clients

A guest aboard Travis and Missy's previous boat said about their experience in spring 2023.

Thank you for working with us to create another very memorable life experience. We had an outstanding week in the islands.  

Missy and Travis. We really enjoyed their laid-back nature and knowledge of the islands. It was also fun to hear Missy tells stories about Kenny Chesney…

·        Steve: Missy and Travis are great, and I really enjoyed them as our crew. Extremely knowledgeable of the islands. I had a great time diving with Travis.  I think they did a great job being flexible and rolling with the punches as plans would change on the other boat…

·        My wife’s feedback…. I give Travis & Missy 10 out of 10 stars. Everything above average…food, beverages, clean boat, flexibility, great conversation, wonderful sense of humor, patient with our sometimes scattered boat-mates, safety, etc. Would definitely charter with them again.

·        Stalcup’s: All positive experience. Outstanding attention to all of us. Welcoming and friendly. Very attentive to our needs and requests. They made our trip exceptionally fun and memorable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to charter.

A family that we booked aboard Taylor & Margaret's previous 52' Catamaran for Christmas 2020 said:

Lynne,

To say that this was the ideal family vacation just doesn’t seem to do it justice. From the moment you called after my email inquiry, you made every part of this experience both personal and perfectly tailored to our needs. Especially during the crazy 2020 COVID stress and restrictions, you were with us every step of the way, alleviating our anxieties, and ensuring that all five of us made it to St. Thomas happy and healthy - and we are so grateful for that. Now let’s talk about the boat! Island Hoppin’ and Margaret and Taylor were also the perfect fit for our family of five, including our three boys (ages 20, 18 and 16). The boat accommodated us so well and had plenty of outdoor spaces for us to enjoy during the day and night. Margaret and Taylor were energetic, attentive, flexible, accommodating and so much fun to be with. Over the course of the week we quickly went from fast friends to family and loved our time with them. The food was incredible, the activities (hiking, SCUBA, snorkeling, fishing) were always engaging and the whole week was a relaxing, bonding, unforgettable experience we will forever cherish. Thank you so much for a family vacation that will always be the bar we set for our future trips!

All our best,

Alison L., Tennessee
