Reviews from our Carefree Clients

A group of couples that we booked aboard 58' Catamaran Sea Esta in April 2022 said:

Hi Lynne,

Cannot say enough about our entire experience with you at Carefree Yacht Charter, our boat Sea Esta and Brad & Kristi!! It was beyond PERFECT!!

Starting with the organization and communication prior from you to keep everything on track and moving forward for a smooth vacation.

From the second we arrived until departure 7 days later nothing but perfection! Brad & Kristi run a seamless operation on board the Sea Esta. The daily positive affirmations on our white board each morning, the presentation of the most delectable food, the amazing "Drink of the Day" the history as we sailed, the nightly themed dining table, the cleanliness of the boat and the 1000+ special touches they provided to each of us as the met the needs and wants of 10 passengers was done with extreme care and ease. I would recommend it be the only way to travel!!

With Gratitude,

Tracey & Marc W., New Jersey

Lynne, you can sign me up for the newsletter! We had the best vacation ever!

I would like to thank Lynne Campbell for making the process for a group of people so easy by providing detailed emails and constant reminders for getting prepared for our trip. Lynne knows the yachts and more importantly knows the crew. Our crew Brad and Kristi were extremely professional and experts at catering to us. Kristi prepared meals that were beyond our expectations (I think she was getting tired of us saying WOW! and sitting at the table 15 minutes early, eager to see what she prepared). She even catered to special diets! Kristi is also a mixologist creating special cocktails everyday. Brad was always ready to make our adventure in the water exciting. We snorkeled, dove deep into the water with a special device as we were pulled behind the dinghy, we had a floating mat in the water and stand up paddles boards and we were even transformed into Mermaids! Captains Brad and Kristi knew exactly the right spots to bring us to and relaxing evenings in coves to sleep. We all miss them and wish them well! Thank you Lynne for all that you did to make this dream vacation possible.

Warmest regards, Lorraine S. New Jersey

A Family that we booked aboard 58' Catamaran Sea Esta in March 2020 said:

Good morning!

I couldn’t wait to email you!! It was by far everyone's “best vacation ever”. This is coming from people that have been to amazing destinations and five star resorts, etc.

I had high expectations coming in because of the reviews but this was all exceeded! The Sea Esta was so beautiful from the furnishings and cute decor. Brad and Kristi were the absolute best from being so friendly and accommodating. I feel like they were part of the family. I think the size of the Sea Esta was perfect for us. The fly bridge was great. That was your comment and recommendation when we spoke about the different options. Meaning we never were on top of one another if we didn’t want to be. We had the inside area by the kitchen, the back deck, the netting. You were great at finding us the ideal yacht for 9 guests. I don't think we needed to spend any more money. The “kids” took the bedrooms downstairs which worked great.

Kristi served the most beautiful looking cuisine that tasted even better than it looked. Ha! The portions were perfect and I always seemed to clear my plate. Amazing how she can cook and prepare for 9 guests in that small kitchen. Her cocktails were delicious! She was always busy “working” but took the time to get us refills or top off our wine glasses. I'm still surprised we didn’t drink the boat dry. We had some beer leftover!

I could go on and on but I have to say that for our kids that were on Spring break from college to say it was their best trip ever says a lot. Not the typical spring break trip for a college kid but I can’t be more blessed that my children wanted to spend spring break with their parents. I wish everyone could celebrate their 50th the way Lynn and I did! We all want to book another trip and looked at the Grenadines!

I’d love to sign up for the newsletter! Thanks so much!! Oh, the daily itinerary was amazing! They did such a good job keeping us busy and being able to visit so many islands and find us the best snorkeling spots, etc.

Thanks Lynne! I will highly recommend you and Brad and Kristi. My brother may be contacting you for a charter for next January.

Hi Lynne!

I know my sister, Chris responded already but I wanted to also let you know what an amazing first class trip we had aboard Sea Esta. Yes indeed it was a perfect size for the 9 of us and definitely exceeded my expectations.

Brad and Kristi provided us all with everything we could ever have asked for, from amazing meals and drinks, fun itinerary and knowledge. I honestly can’t wait to do this again!

I would love to get your newsletters please!

On a 1 to 10 scale I would rate this trip an 11 :)

A family that we booked aboard Brad & Kristi's previous 50' catamaran in July, 2019 said:

Lynne,

As you know, this was a family vacation with all five of our kids, ranging from 17 to 8. We’ve been very blessed in terms of having some great vacations. In fact, just this past March, we had one of the best. We stayed in a private home in a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Cabo San Lucas. Where we had our own private infinity pool on the edge of the cliff along with a personal butler. In addition to this, we’ve stayed at some very nice all-inclusive resorts, cruised once, and enjoyed numerous beach vacations, from Cayman to Cabo and across the Caribbean to Broadway in NYC. We only tell you this as a frame of reference for what we are about to say below. It’s important to understand the types of experiences we’ve had as typically the first experience since as your fondest.

The best way to encapsulate our experience on the Genesis II with Brad and Kristi is like this: yesterday, the day we finally arrived back home, we spent a couple of hours looking for the next charter boat. We’ve told friends to get ready, and our kids have asked how soon we may be able to do it again. We were blown away. It exceeded our expectations. On every level.

Boat: The boat itself wasn’t too big and wasn’t too small. It served our family well. It was so refreshing to see everyone unplug, unwind, and come together to enjoy every moment. The vessel itself was so very well taken care of and very clean at all times. It came adequately equipped for food, fun and comfort.

Location: The locations were enhanced with arriving by boat. We honestly do not feel that there could be a better way to explore the Virgin Islands. We mapped out a plan that allowed a mix of relaxation and adventure. The plan hit these notes perfectly. Beautiful waters, amazing beaches, nice hikes and incredible views.

Food & Drink: The drinks were absolutely top-shelf and catered to everyone. The kids loved the smoothies and drinks of the day. The adult beverages could not be topped by any land stop we hit. In fact, the Soggy Dollar Bar’s Painkiller does not hold a candle to Kristi’s! The food was delicious each and every time. Kristi was very particular in considering everyone’s taste palate. This was a challenge for our group, as many of them have limited food likes, so it was impressive to see her turn out great dishes with limited options! Truly the food was on par with any fine dining establishment.

Crew: Our biggest concern with our next charter is now focused around crew. We realize now how important the right personalities, attention to detail, willingness to please all are. Brad and Kristi were amazing. We know they are moving boats and have put their new boat on our list, purely due to them. They were attentive, friendly, patient and wanted to make our experience as great as possible. They exuded a near perfect balance of professionalism and personality. It was as sad to depart from them as it was the Genesis itself. A few days before our charter was to conclude, our kids began asking if they can make sure to get a picture with them. They taught our kids new games such as Dutch Blitz and Liars Dice. Dutch Blitz was purchased by us while on the boat and was on our porch when we arrived home and the first game was played last night with the new pack. Liars Dice was just purchased before we began typing this. It will be a sad day when Brad and Kristi step away from crewing, as they will be tough to replace.

Thank you for suggesting the Genesis II, this is an experience we will cherish for our lifetimes.

CREW THROUGH JULY 2022 -

Brad Marquart grew up in a small Mississippi river town in Missouri. After completing a degree in Biology at a liberal arts college it was time for some adventure, and he left the Midwest for a new life on the ocean. He joined a commercial fisheries management consultancy in Alaska, working on fishing vessels to provide precise and timely data regarding fishery health directly to NOAA. After working aboard 12 large fishing and fish processing vessels operating out of Dutch Harbor and Juneau, he traded the Bering Sea for the Rocky Mountains and moved to Denver, Colorado. There he started as a bioenergy researcher developing alternatives to mining coal, before switching gears and becoming an environmental scientist liaising between the oil and gas industry and state regulatory bodies. However, his previous life on the ocean had left a mark.

Upon meeting Kristi, the new team set out to reconnect with previous careers on the water. Denver provides perhaps the most landlocked American Sailing School in the USA, and Kristi and Brad took every class they had time for. They left Denver for the east coast where they assisted with a sailboat delivery, and then took to new careers aboard a 74 foot charter ketch here in the Virgin Islands, which led to Brad earning his USCG 100-ton Master Captain’s license and moving on to operate charter catamarans. Now in his fifth year in the term charter industry, Brad has also earned an advanced scuba certification and enjoys sharing chef’s and guide duties with his wife. An innate naturalist, he loves identifying fish and watching their behavior. He loves life most when guiding snorkel and hiking excursions in the beautiful Virgin Islands and when winding down with our always-interesting guests after a memorable day.

Kristi Marquart has a diverse background within the charter boat and restaurant industries. Her culinary interest sparked at an early age in her family’s restaurant and brewery in Kansas, where she worked every position throughout high school and college. Eager to grow in the hospitality industry after graduating from KU, Kristi went on to manage three successful restaurant openings across the country with a company that believed in serving real food sourced from American farmers. She has always loved to cook for friends and family but it was her experience working alongside talented chefs and restaurateurs that ultimately groomed Kristi for her role as the chef aboard Sea Esta. Her cuisine style utilizes fresh ingredients that bring both color and flavor to the plate. She obtains high quality cuts of meat and locally sourced eggs, produce and seafood (when available). Her menus are made with her guests preferences in mind, and she loves the creative freedom of serving beautiful meals that become a conversation piece over the table. Chef Kristi recently expanded her culinary repertoire while attending a two-week Yacht Chef course at the Ashburton Cookery School in England, where she trained under talented chefs with Michelin star backgrounds. Her cuisine style utilizes fresh ingredients that bring both color and flavor to the plate, and her menus are made with the guests’ preferences in mind. Kristi loves the creative freedom of serving beautiful meals that become a conversation piece over the table.

Kristi also holds a USCG 100-ton Master Captain’s license, a bachelor's degree in environmental science, an advanced diver certification, and ten years of experience handling various boats along the coasts of California, Georgia, South Carolina, and throughout the entire Eastern Caribbean. This is her eighth season operating charter boats out of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Kristi & Brad are honored to call Sea Esta home and will ensure your vacation is the kind you smile about for years to come.
