Notes from those who have sailed with us.
Thank you, Avanti, for a truly one-of-a-kind family vacation.
Every crew member made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at home on board.
Captain Mark is exceptional—he knows every inch and every bolt of the boat. Watching him navigate both the waters and the vessel itself is impressive; he moves across the decks and up and down the stairs effortlessly.
First Mate, Clay, is as skilled at mastering word games as he is at handling Andiamo, adding a touch of friendly competition and good humor always. Our stewardess, Julia, created a warm and inviting atmosphere and even shared a few German phrases upon request. What a gem! And Chef Stephen delighted us with his exceptional culinary creations, generously pairing his dishes with fitness tips and good conversation - in English or French!
Each crew member brought their own charm and professionalism, creating the perfect balance of engagement and privacy. It was an unforgettable experience — thank you all for making our family trip so special.
Oh, the scenery wasn’t bad either!

We had an unforgettable trip aboard Avanti!
The crew was incredible - attentive, kind, and always a step ahead of what we might want. We ate better than on any other trip in my memory. Every meal was fresh, varied, and delicious, and the chef somehow managed to accommodate all our different preferences.
Between enjoying the open waters of the BVIs, lazy afternoons on the deck, being at the whim of a truly wonderful crew, and enjoying all that Avanti had to offer (especially the paddleboards), it felt like the perfect escape. We're already discussing when we can come back.
Thank you for everything!

My time aboard Avanti was nothing short of unforgettable.
Mark and the crew created an atmosphere that made the whole journey feel effortless and extraordinary. Sailing through the Grenadines was breathtaking on its own, but what truly elevated the experience was the care, attention, and joy the crew brought to every moment. Chef Stephen’s meals were beyond expectations — beautifully prepared and perfectly suited to our tastes. It was an experience I’ll carry with me always.
