First of all, the trip exceeded our expectations in every way. The Viramar, the islands, the weather were all great - but Tyler and Erika made everything so much better. Their long experience in doing charters and doing them together really shows: they “read” and understood our group well; they worked very well together; they were extremely knowledgeable about the islands; Tyler is a real man of the sea who seems to be able to do everything; and Erika was not only a great chef with a great variety of quality foods, she was also fantastic with our kids.

We did not want to make many decisions during the charter, and we did not! Erika and Tyler did a great job of developing a plan for each day, making the travel time interesting, and preparing a super variety of meals.

We also do not feel like we gave up anything in not going to the BVI and only sailing the USVI. Yes, there were probably some great things in the BVI, but every day and every stop in the USVI was great.

I would be happy to receive your newsletter 6 times a year. Hopefully, we plan to do another charter - where and when, we do not know - in a couple of years.

Lynne, thanks for your help as well. Your communications and understanding of the COVID situation were great.

Thanks

Hey Lynne -

I would echo everything Jeff said about our trip. It exceeded our expectations. We have traveled extensively throughout this world and this was our first time trying a boat trip in this manner. So, we were not sure what to expect. Tyler and Erika took care of everything! They were incredible. The kids benefited from Erika pushing them to try new things on the boat in terms of eating and Tyler pushed them to explore more in the water.

The thing I would add to Jeff’s note - we had no idea the kids could go through a SCUBA certification while we were there. That was a real highlight and benefit of the Viramar, in particular. They were so great with them! In addition, we didn’t expect to dive everyday, but the ease of diving from that boat was unparalleled. In the past when we dove it took up the entire day - go to a dive shop, get your gear, head out on a boat, do the dive, etc….. With this - it took an hour out of each day and it was the best part of it!

We can’t say enough about Tyler and Erika and their hospitality, knowledge of the islands, the food, the company… etc. It was a fantastic trip! We hope to be back to travel with them again.

Thanks for your help along the way, too.

LYNNE!!!

I don't know how to put into words how wonderful this trip was!!! All of my group as well as Erika were crying when we were dropped off at the Canouan airport. To start, it was very refreshing and assuring to know that you were involved with the entire process - from our initial call in October 2019, through the billing, sorting out the COVID challenges, and ultimately checking in to make sure we made it on the Viramar on August 11, 2021.... you have been a complete gem! Thank you.....

Erika and Tyler were absolutely perfect. My group began to joke around day 4 that we had to be careful what we said around the crew, because whatever we said, Erika and Tyler made it happen!! Erika and Tyler were so worldly and experienced.... our conversations ranged from politics to religion and even when there was a difference of opinion, the word for the day was "respect". Tyler, after watching my group dive, suggested and ultimately ensured that those who qualified, got Advanced Open Water certification while on the trip - and he made it fun!!!

The food? Holy cow!!! From poke to tacos to lobster to filet mignon....we never went without wonderful food!! And the alcohol was the same caliber!!! From Titos to beer to wine to McAllen!!!

Overall, I don't know what to say except my whole family misses - at a personal level - the Viramar, Erika and Tyler!!

Thank you Lynne....for everything!!

And please sign me up for your newsletter!! My partner in crime did her first blue water diver (recently certified) and, thanks to Tyler, is now Advanced....so, I think we will be scuba diving more in the future!! ;-)

Hi Lynne,

Howard and I want to thank you for everything! We thought you were amazing - totally organized and clear, helpful, full of info, great communication - all the way from beginning to end :) And, we very much appreciated your thinking about pushing the dates and being the go-between and making it happen - Tyler said it was your idea, and it made a huge difference - we had great weather!!

Our charter experience was really nice, and a perfect way to spend time with our adult kids and their partners. Viramar was immaculate, attractive, comfortable, very functional in terms of storage, and we appreciated having multiple outdoor spaces to hang out.

Tyler and Erika worked incredibly hard... it was very apparent that they wanted us to be happy and comfortable and safe. Erika is a creative chef and baker, and everything that came out of her galley was fresh and delicious. And, with our restriction of no fish and shellfish due to an allergy, she got really creative - I know that normally alot of what she makes is fish and shellfish but she was up for this challenge. We celebrated some birthdays onboard, and Erika went out of her way to help us celebrate with beautiful desserts and candles. She is a lovely and interesting person and it was really nice to be her guests! Tyler is completely full of energy. He was always encouraging fun and activities. We teased him that he is like a camp counselor. He was informative and patient when teaching us sailing and scuba. And, we felt very comfortable with him at the helm. It was nice to have "map time" at least once a day, and he was completely open to doing what we wanted and going where we wanted. He is also a wonderful photographer - the best pics we have were the ones he took! Both Erika and Tyler made us feel very welcome and at home...

Bottom line is we would highly recommend you and would highly recommend Viramar and Tyler and Erika!!
