“What a fantastic week! Thank you so much for a wonderful time.  You two have truly made our experience in the BVI what it was. Pacific Wave is such a beautiful boat with lovely accommodations.  It was all the best: scuba diving on Christmas Eve; snorkelling on Boxing Day; introducing us to ‘Ting’ (we have to figure out how to import it to the US); sailing in glorious trade winds – yet still seeming to find us a hidden protected cove each night. And the food! Thanks so much for a great Christmas – we only hope Richard Branson can join us next time.”

Thanksgiving Charter 19.11 – 26.11.11

USVI/BVI – Party of 5 adults

“Thanksgiving will forever in the future (particularly the meal) be a less exciting holiday!  Excellent itinerary, to be repeated soon!”

“This has been a week in paradise in every way!  Thank you so much Lynn & Mark – please stay in touch”

“After a close encounter with the local night life we set sail for a relaxing week with Pacific Wave.  The days drifted by blissfully fuelled by a plentiful supply of rum punches and a five star menu executed to perfection by samuria chef supreme Mark.  Weather perfect, turtles friendly, scuba & snorkel most successful – a great vacation onboard Pacific Wave.  Thank you!”

“For a pregnant women to start her entry in the guest book raving about the food may be a bit clichéd…. but with food like this….!  We started off the week with Mark’s Dorado Stacks, sailed through every starter and entrée sent up the stairs and demolished the most amazing Thanksgiving spread!  I and everyone onboard enjoyed every bite and will try our hand at the Dorado Stacks back at home thanks to the Dining on Deck Cookbook which features Mark’s recipe.  During the occasional ‘non-eating’ moment, this pregnant woman even took the wheel under Lynn’s supreme guidance.  Thank you both Lynn & Mark for a spectacular week, next time we’ll rig up the playpen in the dinghy!”

“Our vacation onboard Pacific Wave started with a bang!  An aggressive drinking night at the Fat Turtle (in Yacht Haven Grande, St. Thomas) followed by a week of well needed relaxing on the open seas.  Caribbean Thanksgiving might be the only way to do it!  Thank you Mark & Lynn for an unforgettable Holiday!”

Thank you so much for such a lovely trip!  The food was delicious, the service was fabulous, and we are leaving you tanned, rested and relaxed!  You’ve set the bar pretty high for our newly-married life – we expect smooth sailing forever!

We had such fun watching the epic battles between the pelicans and the tarpon, diving the RMS Rhone, and eating that delicious vegetable terrine!

Thank you again for giving us such a wonderful start to our honeymoon!”

The past week has been what us Paddies call ‘the craic!’ …. Great times, great food, great laughs and a great adventure!

Never in the entire history of ‘navigation’ have two ‘land-lubbers’ been more saddened by hearing ‘land ahoy’ on the day of their departure!

See you both soon we hope, (whether UK, West Coast of Eire or back here).

Beautiful yacht– Pacific Wave!

Thank you”

“Lynn & Mark

Wow! – that was the shortest week ever!  It was just a week ago when l boarded your beautiful yacht to celebrate my big 50^th – shhh!!! Birthday.  The days have gone quickly as each day was filled with delightful fun memories.  Loved all the stories of places we visited, loved the amazing yummy meals – eggplant stacks, tamarind chicken, the bacon, Howie’s English breakfast, most especially the Grog – forever to be known as a ‘Pacific Wave’ at my house!

The turtles, the rays, my huge sand dollar were all fantastic, but the best part of the trip for me was spending time with dear old friends and meeting two special new ones.  Good luck with all your ventures and travels and l hope to be with you again soon!

All the best and many, many thanks xxxxxx”

“Lynn & Mark,

After ringing the bell for having you place the most dinner reservations at the most restaurants for the same date in the most different countries, our cruise in the BVI with some of our intended guests was ‘crack on’!  Thank you.

From Sopers to Norman, to Peter, to Marina Cay via Guana, Mosquito and Biras Creek, to Anegada for Lobsters and Grog and return, to Marina Cay via Leverick Bay and Great Dog, you spoiled us with fine cruising, good food, and a hell of a lot of fun!

We will join you again, and please sail with us aboard the next SY True.

Should you find yourselves in New England (Boston/Newport) or New York.  Please look us up.

"Lynn, Mark & Pacific Wave!!

Hmmmm ……. after reading all the wonderful accolades from previous guests, all we can say is "ditto". But, there have been no words written yet to truly convey how we all have been touched by this experience at sea, and the privilege of sharing time with you both onboard Pacific Wave. We always felt much more than your guests, we felt like your family. Seeing new places and adventures is only remembered by the people you share them with and how they made them special.

When we received the sudden news of my mothers failing health and hospitalisation; the genuine concern and empathy from you helped all of us cope with, and process the reality of what awaits us back in Toronto.

On a much lighter note, wow, what a great thrill it was to meet Kate and for Mark, Braden and l to complete our Scuba Diving certification.There is so much more l want to say, but writing a novel was not in the itinerary! So, when you visit us at the cottage in Muskoha, or our home in Toronto, we can all pick up our friendship then.

The purpose of life is to experience joy. How or with whom is very individual. But, just know that for 9 days in March, you both brought much joy in ours."

Brian & Mona

“Thank you for sharing Pacific Wave with us for a spectacular, but relaxing week of sailing, snorkelling, gourmet cuisine, ‘Dark ‘n’ Stormies’, secluded harbours, and the Best of the BVI.  A great privilege for us to be guests onboard.  Please do call or email if you will be in New York or Connecticut.”

Liz,

We have just returned from an exceptional cruise on Pacific Wave with Lynn and Mark. The boat is, as you know, very well equipped with attention to every detail both for sailing and for the comfort of the guests, much the best of all our charters and I plan to copy one or two of the guest comfort details in our holiday-let properties in Cornwall, England.

However the real "feature" of the cruise were Lynn and Mark whose constant attention to our every need, often in anticipation of that need, was superb. The planned itinerary and anchorages worked very well and Mark's culinary expertise in a very small galley astounded us every night. (I was loudly shouted down when I suggested that we take Lynn and Mark out to dinner on the last night as this would mean missing another gastronomic delight on board.)

Should you ever need a reference for a potential booking for Pacific Wave please feel free to forward my contact details to the customer.

Regards,

Martyn

After flight delays and lost bags ‘Pacific Wave’ was an oasis of welcome.  An excellent first night dinner of Mahi Mahi followed next morning by a good sail to Norman Island and snorkelling in the caves - such a wonderful anchorage, the full moon rising was spectacular.

The dolphins off Great Harbour was a true highlight – swimming with a pod of 17! A heavy squall on the way to North Sound gave us a sense of adventure before reconnecting with landside at Bitter End then Mosquito Island snorkelling before a good run back to Marina Cay.

What an incredible trip.  The BEST of ALL our charters!

Martyn

“When you have adult children leading busy lives in New York you have to offer a pretty spectacular vacation to pull them away – and we did!  Pacific Wave with Lynn & Mark exceeded everybody’s expectation in every way! Thank you so very much – we certainly hope to be back!”

Grete

“We’ve swum, we’ve sailed, we’ve learned about the Rhone, we’ve been up close and personal with dolphins, we’ve had the most amazing meals …. not to mention a rum punch or two, we’ve enjoyed a private beach and a glass or two of vino on board Pacific Wave – in short – an absolutely fantastic week’s holiday. We’ll be back!  Thank you!”

Magnus

“An amazing trip exceeding my high expectations.  Wonderful sailing on a magnificent boat around the many sights the BVI has to offer.  Doubtless the best swimming pool in the World, enjoyed with knowledgeable hosts.  Fantastic sailing and the secret to the perfect Pavlova too! Many thanks”

Kerry

“This was an incredible trip!  Pacific Wave and the BVI’s teamed up to provide fun, sun, and close encounters with magnificent fish and dolphins.  Lynn and Mark made this trip as relaxing as possible and have forever ensured this as one of our best vacations.  We will send pictures for the book!”

"Cruising round the British Virgin Islands on a yacht charter would probably be most peoples dream holiday, for me it was more a chance to get away for a couple of weeks.
 
Being the director of a gift experience company there aren't many things that I haven't done, but sailing was never high on my list.  Did I really want to be 'stuck' on a yacht, although a reasonable sized one at 72ft, for two whole weeks, what's more, what if I got seasick!
 
I needn't have worried. My partner and I had such a fabulous holiday, it really was one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had. The Pacific Wave Yacht is a stunner and the fact that it's got a big bottom, 13ft deep if I remember correctly, made the yacht really steady, so very little chance of being seasick. I'm so glad we chose this yacht instead of one of those 'bobbing around' catamarans!
 
The greatest thing about chartering a yacht around the British Virgin Islands is the freedom to island hop whenever we felt like it, I can't believe I ever considered that I was going to be 'stuck' on a yacht. Lynn and Mark the owners offered great hospitality, the food was excellent, better than the offering from some of the top hotels on the island and the yacht itself was in immaculate condition. 
 
I've definately got the bug for it and can't wait to do it again!"

BVI – Party of 2 Adults & 3 Children

“Lynn & Mark

We had warned the children that living on a boat felt like living in a small place – you have both made the beautiful “Pacific Wave” feel like a very large place indeed such has been the most welcoming and relaxed way you have both looked after us from the very start.  We were just sitting here, drinking our Rum and Cokes (Sarah and Guy!) and getting very nostalgic about our last night on Pacific Wave – we were discussing if a sailing holiday was something to be repeated - emphatic ‘yes’ all around. 

You both work consistently hard to look after your guests, relentlessly asking if we have all that we need – the food did indeed present itself in an unrelenting gastronomic delight Mark – thanks, amazing what is produced from the galley!  As for “Pacific Wave” – well we chose her on her looks and we have not been disappointed, she sets the bar high.  On top of all this, what a nature trail …. Endless fish of course, but additionally swimming with pelicans, helping baby leather back turtles, finding struggling tarantula’s, catching tuna for supper and so on and so on…

Thanks masses from Guy and Sarah, now to three smaller Davies”

“Thank you very much for a fantastic 7 days!  I loved the snorkelling and thought the wakeboarding was great fun.  It was wonderful to learn about how to use a winch and catching the tuna was an added bonus!  Many thanks”

Oscar – aged 14

“Thank you both so much for this week.  It has been fantastic and I have particularly enjoyed the snorkelling, waterskiing, drinking Ting and sunbathing, but to be honest l have loved it all!  I will miss everything here when l go back to England, but l would like to come back here again to ‘Pacific Wave’ very soon!

Thanks masses again for the great food as well.

Phoebe –x- aged 12

“Thank you both for an excellent week on the ‘Pacific Wave’.  It was a highlight of the whole year.  Many of the activities l enjoyed are; snorkelling (once l finally got into the water!), looking for shells on some beaches, and many others.  The food was delicious all through the week, and it was very relaxing sunbathing.  Thank you again for a great week.”

“That was great fun, and amazingly organized, not always the easiest thing to achieve when confronted with two quite small opinionated children.

Lynn & Mark ran Pacific Wave with absolute, but understated authority, very reassuring.  Mark also worked hard sailing the boat, cooked brilliantly for all demands, and had young Rory clinging to him like an adoring limpet.  Pacific Wave was great.

We have sailed quite a lot of boats and she handled beautifully and had a lovely ‘feel’ to the helm.  Very splendid! Finally the BVI lived up to their billing with great weather, good (and very friendly winds) and spectacular anchorages.

A great experience, and long may Pacific Wave prosper.”

Mary and Patrick

“Thank you again for a great week, and for being so accommodating of the whims and behaviour of James and Rory.  If you ever want to cruise Suffolk on a 26 ft yacht, you are welcome to borrow ours.  Mark you could show Lynn all those riverside pubs!”

Antony

‘What a fantastic holiday, and beautiful boat!  Thank you for looking after us all so well and putting up with all of our different – and often conflicting requests.  The boys will have quite a shock when they get home to our small boat; Rory will just have to use his imagination to dream up what he will build us!

Thank you.”

Thank you both so much.”

Thanks, both of you.”

“We appreciated so much to be sailing on a ‘real’ sailboat with such a serious, and pleasant crew, that took such good care of the boat, as well as of the customers.  The sailing was great.  The food was great (thank you Mark in particular).  Lynn, you were fabulous this week.  And thank you for letting us participate in the sailing and the handling of the boat, in particular our teenagers Carl & Jenny, they appreciated that a lot.

We hope to be back soon!”

Thanks for giving me the best time of my life!

Sailing with you on your yacht was like visiting paradise!

Thank you both for a really enjoyable sailing experience.  This was Phyllis’ first sailing trip and she could not have had a better crew – you have made a convert of her (my thanks for this!).

Pacific Wave is a very special boat (I’m very jealous) and you both made us feel very relaxed at all times (a great achievement given the market turmoil!!). 

Your knowledge of the area was a great benefit and snorkeling (the first time for Phyllis) in the Tobago Cays was marvelous.

And talking about enjoyment, Mark’s meals were fantastic - we feel very spoiled. 

Thanks for everything – you are truly great hosts.

On behalf of the grown-ups… thank you for EVERYTHING!  We felt special and spoiled the entire week.  The anchorages were perfect – many were new to us in spite of several other bareboat charters in the BVI.  The boat is special and gorgeous.  And the food was beyond our wildest dreams.  For all of us (kids too), some highlights are:

Avery’s first water ski

Wreck of the Rhone by snorkel!

Seeing one (or more) sea turtles each day

The sail from White Bay to Sopers Hole

Our ‘private beach’ on Mosquito Island

Keeping us away from the ‘bad fish’

Our night out together at Biras Creek & Saba Rock

Beatrix sleeping under the stars!

Isabel’s love of kayaking and starchy food … swimming around the boat

Getting to know you both a little and swapping tales

Thanks for the passage!

“Dear Lynn & Mark

We have spent years bareboat chartering.  What a pleasure it has been having you to plan our day sails with us, and providing such wonderful meals.  It has been a spectacular voyage.

OK many superlatives have come your way from our entire crew.  They are well deserved. But let me add what might be a unique thought.  Pacific Wave and its crew created an atmosphere where three couples, friends but not yet comrades, turned the corner and developed feelings for each other that are deeper, richer and more enduring.  What a gift we received from each other.  The sun, the ocean, & Pacific Wave were essential.  The two of you provided the ingredients to work the magic, thank you both.”

Michael – Salt Lake City

“Aboard Pacific Wave, a beautiful and elegant yacht handled by Lynn & Mark, a beautiful and elegant couple!  Nonpareil service, sensational food, wonderful comradity.  All in all a week to long remember.  And, the added touch of captain to mate, and mate to captain referring to each other as ‘Darling’.  You two are wonderful and deserve nothing but fair winds and smooth seas.

Thank you so much for making this our BEST VACATION

“What was more fun?  Wakeboarding around Le Chiffre’s mega yacht, the divine poached eggs and bacon or seeing the genoa unfurl on the passage from Sopers Hole to Norman Island?

Getting the balance between looking after your guests and bothering them and letting them have a go at sailing and being in control is a fine art – which you do really well!

The boat is of course beautiful!

The excellent cooking solved the Caribbean food problem completely and left even the best restaurants (Biras Creek) in the shaded.

Thank you for a first class week!  We hope to sail with you again sometime”
