   WOW, Another extraordinary experience! Other guests reading this may struggle to accept the truth; That we are your all-time favorites. Having bonded over delicious meals, continuous boat talk and salt water fun, we are so glad we came back. Thanks for making round 2 even better than our first. You are an amazing pair. Sea Chateau and your both have given us countless wonderful memories.         Thanks for everything!

We had such a wonderful week with you both on board your wonderful Sea chateau!  Hated to see it come to an end, we will cherish this time forever!  Excellent snorkeling/mooring spots & fantastic food!  You are such a wonderful team and make everything seem so effortless.  We'll keep in touch & tell all our friends/family to definitely book this trip with you!  All the best!  Call if you're ever in Naples or SW Florida!
Julie Harris, MD & Myron Freedman, Naples, FL        


I had such a wonderful time on your Sea Chateau.  You guys gave me a vacation beyond my expectations.  You made us feel so comfortable; you were extremely hospitable.  Your food was AMAZING - you always knew what we needed and when we needed it!  Laura, you are amazing with the kids.  Greg, you gave us great experiences and great instruction.  I am so spoiled now.  I would highly recommend your boat to any family or friend who was interested in this kind of trip. Love, Andrea Landau

 

Thank you for a wonderful family vacation!  We did so many neat things.  Awesome dive master,   You did a wonderful job with all of us.  Beautiful dive spots - manta rays, turtles, lobsters, nurse sharks, crabs and many beautiful fish.  We all improved our dive skills thanks to your expertise.  Snorkel flying was really cool.  Snorkeling with the scooters was great, octopus, lobsters, eels, squid, turtles.  And everyone got to pretend to be Cypress Garden water-skiers too!  Your cooking was great!  Mmmm lobster and yummy desserts.  We were never hungry!
Thank you.

Thanks so much for "The Perfect Vacation" and your hospitality aboard your beautiful home.

Great snorkeling, beautiful sailing and stops in the greatest spots! (How did we always grab the best mooring ball?)  Thank you so much  for your attentive and joyful service - you made this very enjoyable for our family.  Thanks to the Captain for playing the sports director and getting the tadpoles going.  Thank you both for being so sweet to the boys - they had the best time of all!  Call us if you ever come to Vegas!  Thanks for 
everything, great food, great fun!  You were awesome.
Klif, Terri, Griffin & Cole Andrews, Las Vegas, NV         

Well, what can I say.... a wonderful trip in paradise.  Paul is an awesome Captain; he finds the best spots & teaches you how to scuba/snorkel.  Jody should open a restaurant because her cooking is awesome!  Everything was wonderful & I couldn't even imagine a more enjoyable experience in paradise!   Nicole Edwards, San Diego, CA

We had a blast!  You guys are wonderful hosts and a lot of fun to be with.  We felt very taken care of and safe.  We will definitely be back some day!

I told Mark yesterday that he should make a note of the date May 25,  because it ranks up there in the top 5 best days of my life.  That is solely due all to you and your wonderful boat!  Thank you does not do justice to what I would like to express, but since I can't think of any other way, Thank you!!!  Diane & Mark Terrero, Charleston, SC       


You all are amazing!  I have had the time of my life with you.  I doubt that I will remember how to fold napkins, but for sure I will never forget the snorkel flying.  We could not have been with better people.  Keep safe in your travels and who knows - we may show up again!  Thank you so very much for everything.  I don't think I have ever eaten better in my life. Hope to see you again sometime.Kristina Shatz, Mt.Pleasant, SC 

 


We felt we knew you before we even met you.  After all of the searching & reading, we chose your boat & you truly lived up to our expectations.
Your boat is beautiful & so well maintained.  I felt we were living on a floating palace & we were the King & Queen & little Prince.
                                      Life is so good!!!
Thank you for making me feel so comfortable thru all my ailments. (I'll leave it at that.)  It is so awful feeling sick, but you really made me feel safe & comfortable.  Scrabble was outstanding, what can I say... I WON!  Or did you let the guest win!? Hmm.  Every time I play scrabble I'll think of u2.  
The diving, it was fantastic.  The dive sights & Rhone were so different than anything we have done before. I love the caves & caverns we swam thru.  The snorkeling was awesome, I loved the aquanauts.  That was absolutely amazing.  It was so exciting to be able to dive down & see so many interesting marine life on a small amount of air.  What a rush!


Karl glowed from the first day until the end.  His eyes were bright & full of enthusiasm.  This vacation will stay with him forever.  It is pure joy for the three of us to dive together.  His excitement came through when he learned to ski, that will be one of his highlights of the trip.  He accomplished a new goal in paradise.
Life is full of new friends & family.  We feel you are both.  Thank you for everything.  Love, Pam, Steve & Karl Kirschke, Mad. Hgts., MI
                               

Thanks so much for the awesome vacation!  It was a great week filled with lots of fun on board and in the sun.  I loved all of the gourmet meals, I really loved the snorkeling and all the beautiful little coves we spent time in!  I will definitely be back to enjoy the awesome experiences again!  All my wants and needs were more than fulfilled.  Thank you for making my trip such a wonderful experience!  I will always treasure it and will recommend it to others!  
Valori Lixey, Madison Heights, MI                                   
P.S. Again, thank you for the beautiful time and for making me feel at home and relaxed! 

Thank you for an incredible week!  I can honestly say this was one of my favorite vacations.  You out did yourselves with the food (Jeremy's birthday dinner & cake too!) and activities.   

We'd love to have you to the house next time your visiting Chicago.  We'll pamper you for an evening.  Thanks again,
Richard & Barbara Goldstein, Lincolnshire, IL                

Thank you sooo much for everything!  I loved the food (more than Mom's cooking) and everything was awesome from the scuba, the dingying, to the napkins every night.  Better come visit or at least keep in touch!  Katie
Thank you for everything you've done.  The food was amazing, and I really liked the napkin folding. - Jeremy
Thank you for everything!! The food was excellent and the toys were a blast!  I really enjoyed the Hobie Cat! Please stay in touch with us. Josh
Josh, Kate & Jeremy Goldstein, Lincolnshire, IL             


Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime.  It was an awesome week!  You opened your home to us, you were so hospitable and we appreciate it very much.  Jody, you are a gourmet chef - everything was delicious.   We loved all your toys & your tours.   You are all welcome in our home in Connecticut anytime!  Thank you!

"Aaaarrrgh Matey"!  Got that out of the way quickly.  Here we are at the penultimate day, wondering how we will ever be able to get off this floating paradise.  Dives were great -Rhone- food was great, service was great and you even controlled the weather for us.  Of course we could not have had another drop to drink!  We know we will see you again on Sea Chateau and hope to see you in our territory.  Thanks again, you all are incredible.  Mike & Tina O'Connor, Cottonwood, AZ      


          Dave & Nancy came from the great southwest
          To spend a week as a Sea Chateau Guest
          We wined & dined & snorkeled about
          If we kept it up - we'd be very stout
          We are sworn to secrecy about Willie - T's
          (unless we've had 5 or 6 Sea Breeze)
          Sadly we must bid you adieu,
          "Aaarrrgh Matey" and Thank you!!!
Dave Edwards/Nancy Siegfried, Tempe, AZ                    


Warmest thank you's for a memorable adventure on the Sea Chateau.  We so enjoyed the serene days of sun & relaxation (no phones or emails-a real treat for Jack).  You've been perfect host & hostess-always there with never ending drinks, food & conversation. Your home is lovely and you create an inviting environment.   Thanks for making our first sailing adventure a memorable one! Cheers to a happy & healthy year!! Jack Lavin & Joyce Karry     


We've had a great time with you guys.  We always love returning to the BVI, it was fun to visit new places & discover new anchorages!  The food was excellent, the music & movie choices were an added bonus.   Thanks for everything.  Tom & Sue Huckfeldt, Ballwin, MD         


What a great week we had aboard the Sea Chateau.  Warm weather, beautiful water, stunning snorkeling, great food!  What a nice break from winter!  Thank you for your warm hospitality and sharing your home with us!  Dick and Kathie Becker                                       


What a memorable vacation aboard Sea Chateau!  Our crew was great.  We had so much family fun and memories that will never die - Betsy with her 10 bathing suits, John always helping everybody out cheerfully, Jaime with a steel trap mind for trivia and tunes, Mom a good egg and willing to try almost everything and Dad the bridge wiz and crossword puzzle king.  And of course Debbie not mastering the hammock at Peter Island.
From shopping to sailing, snorkeling, swimming, water skiing, sipping Caribbean cocktails - we sailed through a week of fun and laughter that  marks Dad's 75th birthday and Mom's 70th.  We loved every minute of it! 
Thanks so much for your constant good humor and ability to please us all.  It was great!

It was such a delight to meet two wonderful people.  The adventure was fantastic.  You are a great chef & Paul is a natural tour guide.  I loved all the interesting facts about where we were visiting.  We could not have asked for more.  Thank you for making our dream come true.
Holly & Jon Murphy                                               


Thank you so much for all of the things you've done for us on this trip.  I don't think I realized what the BVI's were going to be like but it exceeded everything I thought it was going to be.  --you can cook for me any day!  Thanks for showing us all of the best places on the island.
Heather Geddes


The trip has been so great, I don't know where to start.  The sites, the food, the snorkeling, the hospitality, everything was just wonderful.  Thank you so very much for all that you have done.  I won't forget the napkins.  
Mike Murphy                                                     


Thank you for enabling us to spend a week in paradise.  Everything was fantastic - from the food and drinks, the sailing, napkin folding and all the water toys, to the friendships we made with you.  From the moment we stepped on board, you welcomed us into your home and made us feel comfortable and relaxed.  You made us smile with your matching outfits and tablecloths. This was the most relaxing vacation we have had.  Thank you.  Ted & Mary Tronosby, Elizabeth, PA

What a fabulous 4 days!  This has been a wonderful part of our U.S.V.I. / B.V.I. vacation!  The meals were just as great as the snorkeling and scenery.  We can't wait to get home and check calendars for planning more time with you.  Thank you for sharing your "Sea Chateau" with a bunch of "island deprived" Mississippian's.  I hope you enjoy your vacation as much as we've enjoyed ours.
Truly yours, Monica & Hardy Graham                                 

Thanks for the experience of a lifetime.  We really appreciate the personal attention you gave to everybody's needs.  This is the best vacation we've had.  We'll fondly remember the beauty of the Caribbean and our anchorages, the sumptuous meals  &  your patience in sailing & scuba diving.
Thank you for a fantastic trip!
We loved every minute!

"The Lopez's Laughing Party of Five"

While planning, organizing and waiting for the dream vacation, we never thought we would laugh so much - we had the greatest time!!!
Some of us wanted to do nothing but sit in the sun, others sit, talk and drink and others, sail, dive and row.  With so many interests, a tough crowd to please!!!  .
The food was superb.  Every meal was awaited with great expectation.  Every time the crowd was more impressed....  For sure, as of now, each time we sit at the table, we will try to guess whether the "Bishop", "Flute" or "Picnic" are sharing the table with us.
Despite the undesired adventures with Puerto Rican Pirates, we definitely loved the cove of Culebrita the most.  Sailing back proved that Capt. Paul  knows the tricks of the trade and Carola found out how easy it is to loose a trusted "horsey friend" to the wind and waves.
We had great fun, useless to say!!  We only hope and wish that we would have the opportunity, sometime, to make you guys feel as good as you managed to do with us!!
Thanks a lot again and again and again!!!!
Carola & Claudio Weisz

What a wonderful trip!  Every stop, every beach, every dive, every snorkel, every sail, every meal!!!  Was incredible!
It was the very best family vacation we have ever had!
The best part was seeing our kids having such a great time.  All of the activities they experienced for the first time was priceless!
The extra attention we received was so unexpected!

Thank you!  Thank you!

Frazier Party of Five

Dear Sea Chateau - I love you!


Thank you for a wonderful trip!  I can't imagine a better way of seeing such a beautiful part of the world than on your boat, enjoying your wonderful hospitality.  Thanks again for piping in game 7  Eastern Conference... NHL Finals!  Hope to see and sail with you again,
Dan Pelletier
 

We had a wonderful time and thank you for all your hospitality and the pictures we will treasure.  Pls. call me or email before you come to NY.  We will take you out for a night on the town.
Susan Lawrence

What a beautiful, relaxing, luxurious trip!  As a non-sailor & non-seafarer, I had a fabulous time.  The snorkeling, swimming, kayaking & rum drinks kept me happy as a clam!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for being wonderful hosts!!!
Sarah Van Sicklen & Josef Pelletier                                  

 

"Dear [Broker]: We all made it home fine and just in time for an ice storm the following day!!  We really need to move South!  I'm also sorry that we missed you.  It would have been great to get a chance to say hello again.  Thank you for the offer of the villa, we'd love to take you up on that the next time we come. As for the charter ...... I think the catamaran was the perfect choice for three couples. (I hate when he's right!!)  It was very spacious and we never felt on top of each other.
The crew was fantastic.  They are a great couple who compliment each other perfectly.  They had so much energy and were so much fun, they could not have shown us a better time!  We truly enjoyed their company.  The meals were wonderful, with the only complaint being the amount of weight we were all gaining! If you ever have clients who are looking for a catamaran charter or for other reasons are not chartering with you, I would highly recommend this boat. We had such a wonderful time with many great memories to bring home. Rich and I have a motto that we never try to do the same vacation twice. We find that when you have a great experience the first time you do something, the second time never quite lives up to your expectations.  Well, we've done this vacation twice and both times it exceeded any expectations we had and I guarantee that we'll be doing it again! Thank you again for all your help in booking our trip." Patricia Lahey                                                         

"The six of us have some special memories together - but none quite so perfect as these last three days. A little bit of paradise. We loved all your "toys", the magnificent snorkeling, the fabulous food, warm hospitality... We are already thinking: next time, 7 days! Thanks for making our trip one of our best together!" Lynn Young, Ohio.               

"There are 1000's of beautiful boats in the Caribbean but there can only be a handful of crews like Paul and Jody. California energy & South Carolinian hospitality: a great combo! Thanks for a for a great time!!" Don & Sharon, Ohio.                                                    

"If this is what you get when you turn 50, I can't wait to be 60! This was the best birthday celebration - complete with cake and candles. We arrived as six friends and left as eight!  We hope to return!" 
Al & Vonnie Larue, Ohio.                                               

The service exceeded our expectations. Jody is a wonderful cook: the menus were varied and she was very conscious of our preferences. Bountiful portions! The Sea Chateau was very comfortable and clean. We would definitely consider chartering it again, perhaps with a different itinerary for variety." Greg Griffin,     


Fun for the whole family!!

"We enjoyed our vacation aboard the Sea Chateau immensely. The crew was very friendly and accommodating, the yacht very clean, well ventilated and in good working condition. The crew did a good job of familiarizing us with the yacht and her workings. The menu met our needs and expectations in every way, The cuisine was perfect. We loved the area we cruised and found the pace and itinerary of our cruise perfect for us. We would be glad to be used as reference for anyone who is considering chartering the Sea Chateau" The Reeves, NY's  

"While the Sea Chateau is probably the most beautiful, well laid out, well equipped catamaran I have ever seen. The crews personalities and abilities as Captain and Crew made our trip an absolute pleasure. The food and presentation was superb, as was every aspect of the cruise. They seemed to have the ability to anticipate our every need including privacy. My hat is off to them!" Thomas Wissehr,
