Jos, Jules and Dominic, Thank you for an amazing week in the BVI. This was our first trip with the full family and you made it seamless. First, our itinerary was perfect. We visited all the places that were a priority for us and many more idyllic spots. Second, you took such great care of us onboard. From always making sure we were properly hydrated (!) to teaching us new games, everything was special. Third, the food was outstanding! Dominic - you are a master. Not only was their food delicious, but the presentation always gorgeous. There is so much more to cover, and we genuinely enjoyed your company and getting to know you. Ann & Jim Ally & Jake Tyler
... I must go down to the sea again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gulls way and the whales way, where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sunset dream when the long trick's over. (John Masefield) Thank you for a great trip! Sandy & Dean Joni & Russ Barb & Roger Kelly & Sean
Jos, Julia and Dominic, Our week on Aura was truly magical - every day was an amazing new adventure. The memories our family shared will last a lifetime. I can only imagine the amount of planning and preparation that goes into each guests' stay. You three made it seem so relaxed and easy; we can't thank you all enough. Safe sailing and much love, The Larson Crew Greg, Carrie, Hunter, Grant, Chase
To the world's best team! We cannot thank you enough for this magical week on Aura. The boat is, of course, spectacular, but you all made the experience PERFECT. You spoiled us for seven days, indulged our every whim and desire - including ones we didn't even know we had. You fed us with care and creativity - and not just our bellies (bigger now)! You found new ways to delight us every day: beautiful vistas, adventures, small pleasures, and many more delights. Dominic is truly a master in the galley - we couldn't have been happier or more impressed with every single meal! Each one photographed and documented. Julia - our partner in hikes, cocktail making, you think of everything, even before we know we want something! We loved our games nights with you and escorting puppies. Jos - what can we say? Your energy is boundless, your sense of fun is infectious, and your expertise is world class. We could go on for days, but mostly thank you for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful. With much love, Marty & Ellen, Lori & Steve, Emily & Ryan, Lisa & Alyssa
