Introducing SÓL, the future of luxury catamaran yacht charters

“Our 3-generational extended family of 6 (plus my brother and his wife) just finished an amazing week aboard SOL. I wish to share some comments. To put them in perspective, I am a 70 year old former tech/software industry executive and CEO. I have traveled millions of air miles (mostly for business but also pleasure) and have had the good fortune to have stayed in the finest resorts, hotels and Airbnbs across the globe (I have also stayed in some lousy and even scary places!). I am also a sailor and captain having cruised all over New England, Florida, Croatia, the beautiful Pacific Northwest including into Canada….and now the Caribbean. I work to keep my boats in Bristol fashion, always.

However, the yacht can only go so far in delivering on the promise of a great charter. And here is where I believe this wonderful group of 4 professionals delivered like no other. They each were friendly, smiling, caring and fun. All the time. And when my grandson had a bit of a medical challenge they were all incredibly supportive and knew what to offer us. That was no easy feat as our daughter is a physician and was very precise in her requests.

And ah, the crew. Captain Finn is talented not only at the helm but his morning short planning session was the perfect end to breakfast and the start of the day. It was educational, fun and got us excited for the day’s adventures. He was confident at all times but also gentle and respectful to crew and guests alike. Plus, he pitched in with every kind of chore; I was amazed.

Mitchell was a true pleasure to chat with and I enjoyed sharing stories of time on the water. He was terrific with the grandchildren and always ready at a seconds notice to spring into action. But also very wise in letting anyone have space to enjoy time aboard. Combined with his great smile…every moment on deck for me was a pleasure.”

“Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and when we stopped at beach bars or docks, we were personally connected with staff or drivers. It made the whole trip feel smooth and stress-free from beginning to end.”

“The planning was exceptional. Our time was maximized without ever feeling scheduled. Whenever we went ashore, someone was there to greet us or drive us, it felt completely seamless. We also had a few dietary restrictions in our group and everything was handled flawlessly and delicious…..

If you truly want to disconnect and be fully taken care of, this is the way to do it. We’re already talking about booking our next trip with this crew.”

“We tried so many new water activities and had amazing instructors guiding us through everything. It never felt rushed or intimidating. What really stood out was how smoothly the entire trip was organized. Every time we headed to a beach bar or needed a taxi, the crew personally introduced us and made sure we were taken care of. We never had to think — just relax and enjoy.”

Speaking of meals, we enjoyed an incredible and personalized meal each time we sat at the table, as well as a different tablescape for every meal of the week!  The cuisine aboard SÓL is the best I have ever experienced aboard a charter, and the settings are the finest anywhere, each more “insta-worthy” than another.

The boat interiors are as stunning and comfortable as the deck spaces.  But, by far, the most impressive part of our week was the crew.  Their camaraderie with one another was amazing.  They seemed to genuinely love taking care of the guests, and did so with a consistent energy,  smile and sense of humor that is truly priceless.  Their ease amongst themselves allowed us all to relax and feel at home. They all brought enthusiasm to our plans, security to our activities, and we all parted as friends.

I encourage anyone considering this as your next vacation to book immediately! We all cannot wait to go back!!”

We knew that SÓL would be a fabulous yacht, but we didn’t realize that the yacht would only serve as the platform for what was to come. The crew made the experience come alive and they were absolutely wonderful. They anticipated and adapted to our needs and desires and were so engaged in creating something remarkable for my wife and me. They worked non-stop, but we got to know them personally and adore each one of them. Their talents complement one another and there is a culture formed by this small team that works seamlessly to create remarkable experiences.

Another huge surprise was the amazing food and drinks served throughout the trip. We didn’t anticipate that the Chef’s talents would consistently elicit comments from us that this is one of the best meals that we have ever enjoyed. The Chief Stewardess is at the very heart of the culture and is really the experience manager for the team. Yes, she makes amazing drinks and cares for and services our needs, but she is best at creating experiences throughout the trip that have led to wonderful memories for us. The First Officer is a hidden gem and contributes to the experience in so many ways. Captain Jack orchestrated the many stops and places we visited, as well as assembled a great team and created an evolved culture that has everyone knowing what they stand for, where they are going and how to get there. It is apparent that all of them participate in decision-making and own the outcome of their efforts. Every one of the team members contributed at mealtimes, getting drinks into our hands and special experiences on land and in the ocean, to create special memories for life for us.

We are fortunate to travel frequently and stay in many properties that are rated as some of the best in the world. Yet, this seven-day trip was the best seven days of vacation that we have ever experienced. From beginning to end, this experience was exceptional.

Thank you for giving your team the latitude to create a special memory for us. It was magical. We are already assembling a group of friends to share with us another experience with your wonderful team on your amazing yacht, SÓL.”

The boat itself, named SÓL, was a beautiful haven for our family. Its comfort and elegance exceeded our expectations, providing a cozy retreat after each day’s exploration. The food was a delightful highlight, further enhancing our journey.

We are already eagerly anticipating our next charter with SÓL. The combination of breathtaking scenery, outstanding staff, and the sheer beauty and comfort of the boat make it an experience we can’t wait to relive. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a perfect escape in the British Virgin Islands.”

I cannot express how truly fantastic the crew was to us. The food was beautiful, fresh, creative, and delicious. The Chef is a genius. The First Officer made every day fun. The Chief Stewardess is spectacular. The best boat Captain is Jack. His knowledge of the history of the BVI shared with us at morning briefings was so entertaining and fun. He gave us so many options for our daily plan yet we always knew it was our trip.

Our last day was spent on SÓL going nowhere. We just wanted to be on the boat. There was nowhere better. Thank you for sharing this special vessel for charter. We are dreaming of another opportunity to enjoy!”
