EBB & FLOW Yacht Description
Ebb & Flow is a lavishly appointed and exceptionally well maintained 2016 Lagoon 560, S2 Imagine Edition - the "fully loaded" option.
An homage to classic sailing yachts like full exterior teak decks pair harmoniously with modern interior design and a focus on comfort throughout all spaces.
Advertised by DMA Yachting, the majestic charter yacht EBB & FLOW is a 56 ft sailing catamaran. The primary distinction of EBB & FLOW are her elegant profile and interconnection with the sea. EBB & FLOW spends the summer and winter season in US Virgin Islands. She was constructed by the famous yacht builder Lagoon in 2016. A succesful refit was finalized in 2021. The ingenious yacht layout features 3 cozy cabins and comfortably accommodates a group of 6 guests.
EBB & FLOW is introduced primarily as a sailing catamaran. The central space of the yacht is the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is where heart of the yacht is and that's where the guests spend most of their time. The tastefully decorated cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. The cabins offer unbeatable views in the morning and are located just below deck. Multiple portholes provide a connection with the natural world outside.
and a generator.

Crew Information
Captain
Chef/Mate
Captain: Adam Hughes
Rosie & Adam met in Croatia whilst both working as Yacht Captains. Their personal and professional relationships blossomed and they became the ultimate Crewed Yacht Team.
Adam grew up in Lancashire and was lucky to get into Dinghy Sailing from a young age. After completing his degree in International Computer Science, he soon realized that “office life” was not for him. Adam enjoyed the outdoor life and worked as a Watersports Instructor in the Mediterranean. Adam moved into the yachting industry in 2015 and worked as a Captain and Yacht Team Manager. He spent many years combining his summers working on yachts with winters’ managing hotels and bars in European Ski resorts. His love of cocktails blossomed here.
Rosie lives in Cowes, Isle of Wight, the home to UK sailing and therefore has been very fortunate to spend all of her life on the water. Rosie studied Fashion at University, however, was always drawn back to the sea! After Rosie completed her Yachtmaster Offshore in 2017, she decided to take a few months out of her office job to work as a Yacht Captain in Croatia, this was the moment Rosie knew a career in Yachting was for her! Rosie attended Professional Yacht Chef Training at Ashburton Chefs Academy and now uses her creativity in her food where she loves to use fresh and local ingredients whenever she can. During COVID times Rosie kept herself busy with a 16 week online pastry course and went on to write and publish her first cookbook app “Baking on Boats”
Rosie & Adam have been sailing the BVI since 2019 and now fondly call it home. They love to combine their love of adventure and passion for food which then creates an unforgettable experience for all guests who choose to travel with them.

Reviews
This week has been amazing! Thank you for having us and looking after us so well. We especially loved the snorkelling at Diamond Reef, dressing up as pirates, getting to be mermaids and exploring Anegada in the mini mokes.
Special thank you to Rosie for the amazing food and for making a huge effort to make sure Andrew could enjoy the food the same as everyone else could with his allergies. He especially loved the delicious, egg, nut and dairy free birthday cake, it was delicious!
And thank you to Adam for keeping us safe whilst we were snorkelling and for driving us everywhere in the little boat. Carmen throughout the week has learnt lots and this holiday will help her to become a marine biologist!
Finally, thank you Adam & Rosie for making us have one of the best weeks of our lives!
Ximena (aged 10)
Thank you so much for an amazing week,
The A family
It was such a pleasure to share this week with you guys. We weren’t sure what to expect for our first time sailing, and its turned out to be one of our best vacations! You made us feel at ease and were always lovely to be around. The outings were great (especially the 7am bird watching trips for John!), the food delicious, and the overall atmosphere excellent. We know that when we go on another trip we’ll have you make sure that you are our crew! Thank you for teaching us sailing as well, I know that John really enjoyed it. We wish the best for you two and so happy to hear of your upcoming wedding.
’Till next time!
Marilu, John, Christina & Gabriella
Adam & Rosie,
This week was truly the highlight of our lives! We could not have imagined the fun and special moments we shared - as a family and with you both. From the kids having the chance to make pizzas with Rosie, to seeing three stingrays play under our boat, to the amazing snorkelling spots, to tubing, to mermaid fun, and even jumping off the Willy T - this vacation has been full of magical moments and once in a lifetime memories. Thank you so much for all the thought and care you put into this week! We hope to come back and visit again soon.
The S Family ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so very much for a fantastic week of fun, sailing and exploring. They always say you can feel how welcoming someone is through the heartfelt hospitality they provide - from start to finish you both exceeded all of our fantasies and expectations.
The food was beyond awesome!
Wishing you smooth sailing and happy times ahead! Congrats on your impending marriage and life together!
All our best,
Mark & Joy
Rosie & Adam,
There are no words to describe how wonderful this week has been. Not only did we get to enjoy time with great friends, but we were able to meet and spend the week with you.
You are such a lovely couple and so much fun. Your love and knowledge of the boat, the waters and the islands is infectious.
Everything about this trip was magical, from the weather to the food. Rosie, you are an amazing chef and your cooking skills will take you far. They also expand my waistline!!!
This has been a trip of a lifetime. If I ever have the opportunity to do this again, it will be on the Rosie and Adam boat!
Susan
WOW!! YOU TWO ARE AMAZING!
The service, food and hospitality was over the top!
It was so enjoyable getting to know you both. You are the perfect couple and wishing you the best on your upcoming wedding,
God bless, safe travels with your continued adventures in life.
Jay
Rosie & Adam,
This week will be in the top ten of our lives! The hospitality was amazing. From the moment we stepped on the boat we have had so much fun. 😁
The food - the best we have ever had. The stories and knowledge of both of our captains shared throughout the week made it the best. Thank you for the week. I really hope there is a next time!
Ron & Catherine
Ebb and Flow was a perfect size for our group of 6. We loved all the spaces aboard the boat. Jill and I started every morning with sunrise coffees on the seating at the bow and even had room up there for some light yoga. We also really liked the front seating for times we wanted to sit in the sun while we sailed. The upper deck was great for 360° views, a breeze and some shade while we sailed. The back dining table and bar setup was great. I thought the rooms were all well appointed with comfortable beds, nice showers and plenty of storage.
Your crew of Adam & Rosie:
Adam and Rosie were amazing! We always felt extremely safe on the boat. They had a knack for being friendly and cordial and answering all our questions, but giving us space as well. They quickly picked up on our individual routines and always had things prepared the next day without asking. Very top notch crew. The kitchen and other common areas were always kept clean and tidy and the beds made daily while we ate breakfast.
The food and drinks:
That was the best week of meals I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, tasty and beautifully plated. Rosie effortlessly navigated the needs of a 5 year old, a gluten restriction and a few personal preferences. Her cocktails were better than any of the bars we tried. A++ for all the food and drinks.
The overall charter experience:
Overall charter experience was excellent. It was the most relaxing week I’ve ever had. Once we climbed aboard, I never had to worry about another detail the whole week. I’m used to vacations with multiple hotel changes and transfers and while fun, aren’t anywhere close to as relaxing as the week we just spent aboard Ebb and Flow. Such a special experience. Within a few hours of posting pictures from the week I had a friend asking me for details on how to book for her family.
-Scott
Thanks so much for the wonderful week, words can’t express the experience! You made me feel so comfortable. Everyday a new adventure. Would do it again in a heartbeat!!
Thanks again,
Dan
Dear Rosie & Adam,
Thank you very much for the exquisite weeklong sail around the British Virgin Islands. I felt like from the moment we stepped aboard we were met with meticulous attention to detail and exemplary professionalism. It was evident in every detail all the planning and preparations you put into each moment and every ingredient. The food was exceptional. I cannot rave about it enough - a true catering to our every desire.
Many thanks and best wishes!
Happy Sails.
Jill
Thank you for the most exceptional week of vacation i've ever enjoyed. I had very high hopes for what this week of sailing would feel like and you two far exceeded those dreams. It was safe, relaxing and most of all fun with the perfect mix of activities and down time. Hard to even describe the meals, but Chef’s kiss!
Scott
What a week! We had the most amazing time with you both at the wheel. We immensely enjoyed all of the thought and care you put into ensuring this trip was magical. From - the planning to the food and all the behind the scenes. Rosie you will forever be known as the “best ball picker”! It was a pleasure getting to know you and all the names of the plants & appliances! 😂. We enjoyed learning about sailing and navigation and found joy in both of your ease and sense of humour. Thank you for all of the Nutella sandwiches and how special and comfortable you made this trip for Barrit.
Happy travels, we hope to see you both again soon on our next adventure.
Chrissy, Ben & Barrit ❤️
There are so many things to be grateful for this week - from the moment we stepped on board, our vacation began in the best way possible. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful details that made this experience exceed every expectation. Listing all the wonderful meals would be pages because each was worthy of recognition - especially our last meal - Galantine’s Day Dinner, this was was one the best we've ever had the privilege of eating - a dinner all future valentines will struggle to live up to. You treated us like family and now we think of you as part of ours. ❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Cathy
Dear Adam & Rosie,
This past week so surpassed all expectations that I hardly know where to begin! The way you two work together as a perfect team created a memorable vacation of a lifetime for us. It was a wonderful way for us to celebrate our entry into a new decade and over 20 years of friendship. We will never stop talking about Rosie’s culinary masterpieces and Adam’s hiking and snorkelling adventures. It was so much fun laughing with you two and learning about yacht life. You both now have 6 new moms who care about you two and wish you much love and adventure in your life together.
Amy M
Adam & Rosie,
Thank you for making this trip so amazing. Your special touches and making sure everything was a complete joy. I wish you both a wonderful marriage and full life together. I truly hope we get to see you again - either on the water or in California. Re-entry into the real world this coming week will be a shock!
Thank you again and all the best - A Valentines to remember ❤️
Shawn
To our amazing Ebb & Flow Crew,
Thank you for such a wonderful week!
As you can see our friendships are special and we couldn’t have wished for better people to join us on our sailing adventure. We are so happy to now call you friends. Your hospitality is unmatched! Your creativity is amazing and your kindness is flowing. Thank you for taking such good care of us and for the best Valentine’s Day celebrations EVER. ❤️I wish you the much love for your future as a married couple. It was an honour to witness your love and the respect you have for each other.
Until next time.
Laura
Rosie & Adam,
What an amazing week celebrating our birthdays and friendships.
The amount of care you showered us with was nothing short of magical! From the incredibly thought out menus, to the hike, our beach setup, snorkeling and more.
You helped us create even more memories and we are eternally grateful.
Looking forward to another adventure with you!
Amy S
I am not sure my words can express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience we had this week. Truly a bucket list experience!!
Rosie, every meal has been unforgettable. We have never been fed so well. You’ve made going back to reality very hard!
Adam, your knowledge of boating and the BVI’s led to many wonderful memories. The e-foiling provided by Ebb & Flow was so much fun and made for many laughable moments.
Thank you so much for creating such a memorable experience for us. We hope to sail with you in the future!
The P Family
Dear Adam & Rosie,
What an unforgettable experience!!
You created an atmosphere that allowed us to spend this wonderful time as a family, even patiently listened to our music - including Dominican!
Adam, you attentiveness in making sure we always felt comfortable and looked after. The boys send you a special thanks for all of the “tubing” wipeouts, including the times they almost lost their swim trunks! Thank you for helping the “big” guys get back on the dinghy, and specially for taking us to all of the best spots!
Rosie, a friendly reminder, that we won 6-1! Every meal was amazing, each one better than the previous. The presentation, the colours, the explanation and of course, the taste, was out of this world and each one of us will miss it dearly.
All and all, we had the best time.
Hope to see you soon, either in the BVI’s or with us in the Dominican Republic.
The C Family.
Ps. Please send me you cocktail recipes, they were incredible!
Thank you for making this week so special! Every detail was wonderful - the food, the hospitality and your sense of fun. Most of all, we enjoyed your hospitality and the beautiful boat.
We hope to visit you again - what a gorgeous trip!
Love,
The T Family
When Scott called to ask if we wanted to join on a trip to the BVI’s we didn’t hesitate. What we didn’t know was how special and elevated the experience would be. Thank you for being part of our memories. We will be back to “check on you both”, What a great reason to return!
We wish you both happiness and a wonderful 2025.
You’re a great couple!
Love, Marla & John
Rosie and Adam - Ebb & Flow!
There are NO words to describe our experience with you aboard Ebb & Flow this week….. in a word…. EXTRAORDINARY!
As we said from the beginning, this has been a bucket list trip for us a celebration of 30years of marriage. This week exceeding any of our expectations and then some! Every attention to detail put an exclamation point on every experience. And Rosie…. You are a CULINARY ARTIST!!!
We with you both much success and happiness.
We will be back!!!
Scott & Dawn
Dear Adam & Rosie
I did not dream of a vacation as wonderful as this.
We want to express our sincere gratitude to the exceptional serviced we received on Ebb & Flow. Your knowledge of the area your kindness & your culinary genius made our trip truly unforgettable.
The food was absolutely delicious and we were consistently impressed but the care and attention to detail you put into each and every meal.
Your accommodations for activities and destinations were spot on and we were able to experience the best of the BVI.
Most of all - your kindness and passion for what you do is palpable!
You are forever with us - until we meet again - (hopefully soon!)
Love Jason & Kathleen
Rosie and Adam are the best! Rosie prepares the most delicious meals, this combined with the gorgeous scenery of the BVI and wonderful time with friends is the recipe for the best vacation ever! I hope to be back soon!
Lani
Such an amazing trip. The boat is beautiful and so comfortable. Adam and Rosie make your stay so incredible - the cocktails, the food and the best ambience! I will be back with my family next time. ❤️
Rachel
I had the best time on Unwavering!! Adam and Rosie are amazing hosts with delicious food, fun toys and incredible knowledge about sailing and the BVI. Rosie’s gluten free creations for myself were out of this world and Adams guided hike was spectacular where we saw 100’d of butterflies! I would love to come back with my family!!
Heather

This has truly been one of the best trips we have ever been on as a family! Adam and Rosie went over and above to make it so special and fun, creating memories which we will cherish forever.
Rosie is an unbelievable chef and her dishes, apps and cocktails were the most delicious, from lamb to sea bass to grouper tacos every meal was perfect.
Adam was always making sure we had all the toys ready for ocean fun. The flite board, sea scooters and snorkelling were awesome.
[Yacht} is gorgeous and our family is so blessed to have been able to spend Christmas week in the BVI with Adam and Rosie. We will definitely be back!!
BEST FAMILY TRIP!!

Thank you again for a trip of a lifetime! We absolutely love our vacations with you! We are so blessed that we got to do this amazing trip with you all again for Caden’s last Spring Break before he goes to UF! Thank you both for being the best and most patient with me when it comes to diving! Our family dives are always a great memory!
From the dives, the snorkeling, The Baths, beaches, Hobie Cats (Thanks Travis for the sailing lessons!), dinner at the Bitter End, and all the spicy margaritas - you both made this trip the best! Please let us know when you are back captaining again - we will be back!
Love,
Jonna, Ken, Chase, Caden Harris
Dear Travis and Miss Missy,
What a privilege to sail and motor around the BVI’s together. What a treat to learn more about you both. The boat was impeccable. The food was not just delicious and healthy, but also stress free with my complicated allergies.
Thank you for the diving adventures in places so special to see. Thank you for the company and conversation. Thank you for the island excursions to see iguanas and flamingos. Each day was filled with making lasting memories.
We look forward to a lifetime of friendship and more memories to come.
Cheers to health, love, safety ,and a loong life of adventures!
Tom and Christine
Three words… IT WAS AWESOME! Thank you for showing us so many beautiful places both above and under the water and for tailoring our activities to ensure that all of us had an amazing time. This is an experience that none of us will forget. It has been such a pleasure to get to know you both. If you ever find yourselves in Annapolis, we would love to return your hospitality.
It will take me another 70 years to ever be able to come up to the standards of such a magnificent 70th Birthday Celebration. We were in such good, kind, and caring hands and we felt so safe. The wine pairings were such a treat and learning experience. I had so much fun and can’t thank you enough for everything!

What an amazing week we have had together. So many fun adventures, Olivia’s first scuba dive, Caroline’s new love of snorkeling, and Garrett’s new obsession with hydrofoiling… and the list goes on and on. The food was to die for and the yummy cocktails were the cherry on top. Thank you so much for an incredible family adventure.
Marcia, Alex, Olivia, Caroline, and Garrett Tatum
Well… what can we say? Can perfection be perfected? If so, y’all have it figured out. Once again, you’ve outdone yourselves. We had the very best time. At this point, all we can do to console ourselves at leaving is to book our return trip to spend another week in paradise. What’s better… the location or the friends? We’d say the friends.
Love you guys and until next time,
LC & Chris
What an amazing week! Where do I start?!? From the beginning, with our pretrip Zooms and texts you have provided an incredibly personal, caring, and thoughtfully crafted vacation.
Having Kim onboard for our special New Year’s cruise with Zachary’s food allergies was one of the highlights. EVERY meal was a masterpiece of creativity, healthy ingredients, and bespoke provisions. Accommodating my Mom and teenage sons was no easy feat and yet you pulled it off seamlessly.
From SCUBA diving, snorkeling, SUPing, wakeboarding, waterskiing, e-foiling, open water swimming, and taking the helm for sailing you really nailed it. Our anchorages were beautiful, quiet, and decidedly not Yacht Week! A perfect combination holiday of relaxation, activities, and culinary delights. It has been a true pleasure to get to you both (and Kim) and hope we keep in touch.
Good luck in your next phase,
The Redlins and The Greens
Ebb and Flow is beautifully maintained with an attention to detail by the crew that felt like we were staying at a 5-star hotel. Several activities were standout to our family. We spent the majority of our time on the vessel, but we enjoyed three different land-based adventures: the Baths on Virgin Gorda, a Jeep and snorkeling tour around Anegada, and a hike to the bubble pools on Jost Van Dyke. While aboard Ebb and Flow, we were exposed to the most beautiful snorkeling. Taylor is a certified Scuba Instructor and provided certification – and for two of us, this was our first exposure to scuba diving. Taylor is a highly qualified and competent instructor. His tutelage and leadership were a true highlight of the trip. Margaret directed most of our snorkeling adventures, yoga instruction, and cocktail/mocktail creation around happy hour. Her knowledge of fish and coral made every swim experience an amazing underwater adventure! We also got a chance to try e-foils—a great new experience for all of us. Taylor and Margaret would invite and allow the entire family to be involved with sailing when the conditions would allow. I grew up with sailing, so I really wanted to be a part of helping where I could. Other family members chose a much less active role in sailing, and this was great.
On our charter, Margaret and Taylor employed the services of Chef Kim Stoklasa of @YachtBVI. Kim worked tirelessly to create exceptional breakfasts, lunches, appetizers, dinners, and desserts. Her vast experience shined as each meal seemed to outdo the preceding one. She touched based frequently regarding meal preferences, tastes, timing, and portion size. Every meal was fantastic; however, some of our most memorable dishes were her shakshuka, a kale quinoa salad, fish tacos, lamb chops, and grilled artichokes – all beautifully plated and garnished! Every meal had a fantastic balance of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. We also got a sampling of Kim’s amazing personalized sauces and locally sourced items. Prior to our trip she spent a fair amount of time feeling out our preferences, allergies, and tolerance for culinary freedom on her part. The variety of tastes and meal presentations she created was so much a part of the total charter experience. Kudos to Kim!
Taylor, Margaret, and Kim,
We loved our Caribbean Christmas Cruise! 2 of us learned to scuba for the first time, all with the help of Taylor, an amazing instructor. Great to see a spotted eagle ray. Touring Anegada, sea scooters, mermaid tails, snorkeling, gorgeous sunsets, private harbors, and bird watching.
Kim, we love you. The meal exceeded expectations every day! We’re still talking about the Kale Quinoa Salad, ceviche, passionfruit panacotta, fish tacos, and the incredible Christmas- Day feast. We loved all 15(!!) dishes.
Christmas caroling at the Anegada anchorage was so special, hilarious, and unforgettable. We got the track list down by the end… but Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer was a humbling moment. You all thought of everything - decorating the tender, the microphone, xmas glasses, and santa hats, jingle bells. Thank you for including us in a new tradition! They were blinking lights and begging for us to sing to them, it must have been the mermaids. Our 30th Anniversary Celebration was beautiful and thoughtful. Thank you so very much!
Margaret and Taylor,
First of all, thank you. Taylor, your calm confidence in command through good and bad weather and circumstance eliminated any anxiety from being out on the open sea. Margaret, your delightful personality and super cooking skills created a palpable cohesion with all of us. It has been a great joy to me to see how well you two work together and create a memorable experience for us, your guests. -Mike, New Mexico
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle in such an open and honest fashion. I enjoyed learning, helping, and watching. Loved the opportunity to dive with each of you. Taylor, so capable and confident, put me right to ease again in the water. Margaret’s energy for adventure and curiosity was fantastic. The fishing was an unexpected adventure! Great memories and may all your future endeavors be filled with adventure and wonder! If you are ever in New Mexico, come visit and ride some horses with us! - Guy, New Mexico
Our family had an AMAZING vacation on Ebb & Flow catamaran - both the boat and the crew, Margaret & Taylor made it one of our best family trips ever! It started with the planning, which was seamless with Caite at Uncharted and the crew, who went to great lengths to learn each of our individual preferences. They were professional, with safety always in mind, and incredibly friendly and fun, knowledgeable about the BVI with interesting and enjoyable stories everywhere we went. There were so many activities that we didn't even get to do them all! The food was excellent - Margaret is an exceptional cook! and the cocktails were expertly prepared by Taylor! It was an exciting, relaxing, fun, delicious vacation and hopefully we will be able to do it again with the same boat & crew!
Thank you for a wonderful fortnight sailing around the BVI. Anne and I had an amazing time exploring these beautiful islands under your local guidance. The trip was enhanced by your insightfulness of the pirate stories - fact and fiction - that made these lovely islands come to life. Does this make me more Whitebeard than Blackbeard?
Thank you for helping me take a walk down memory lane. Anne definitely enjoyed the diving - I certainly enjoyed supervising her from above. Also, the snorkeling was fantastic too.
Thank you, Margaret, for your delicious food and superb portion sizes. We were definitely satisfied, not stuffed. Anne took lots of food photos, which is most unusual - so you really impressed on the catering.
On the skippering side, I enjoyed our technical sailing chats. Taylor - you are very knowledgeable, most informative and pragmatic. It helped me make several decisions during the fortnight.
Overall, thanks again for making the trip a special fortnight.
Best wishes,
Blaine and Anne
Thank you for making this trip special for my whole family. Ebb & Flow was luxurious, comfortable, and immaculately maintained. I really appreciated coming home each night to a turned down bed (king sized!) with A/C, mood lighting, and pleasant scents.
Taylor, thank you for entertaining us with your jokes and stories, and for being an excellent guide to us in a new place. Thanks so much for setting up kitesurfing for me and helping me during it.
Margaret, thanks for taking us on snorkeling adventures and showing us lots of fish and buried treasure! The food was spectacular, I feel so much healthier overall than I did when starting this trip. My favorite meal was the snapper, indian food was a close second. Favorite dessert was olive oil lavender cake. Thanks for going above and beyond for my Mom for Mother’s Day and her birthday, we really appreciated that.
The trip was a “10” and M&T made it a “12”. What a great way to spend time with your family! BEST VACATION EVER!!
Sincerely,
AJ, Tony, Kelli, Mercedes, Alexis, Oscar
Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and immaculate boat. We felt so pampered and leave Ebb & Flow fully rejuvenated! So appreciate your healthy meals.
Highlights are snorkeling with Margaret the Mermaid, jumping off Willy T’s, Taylor’s famous bloody marys, and so much more. Please visit us in the mountains anytime and we look forward to seeing you next season!
XOXO,

Sally, you are an amazing chef and your food was outstanding. Mark, your daily drink specials were truly delicious!
You are a wonderful team and we will miss you both. We felt like we were part of your family. Lots of laughs and adventures we shared. Couldn’t have shared this with anyone else! So lucky that you came back to charter just in time for the Judd Family to arrive.
Enjoy your new adventures in your RV!

Margaret & Taylor - What can we say... you guys were incredible! From a super passionate captain & very thoughtful dive instructor to an amazing chef and dive master, your skills and capabilities were not soon to be forgotten. Although the old folks pooped out easily, you guys were fantastic with the very active teens...way to flex!!! We really enjoyed your hospitality and your company and will certainly miss our time together. Thanks for tolerating the "f" bombs (across all ages)!
Until we sail together again, The Kalvenes
Thank you for giving our family an adventure, a bonding experience, and a week in paradise that we will forever cherish! The food was spectacular, the cocktails divine, the SCUBA and snorkeling were majestic, the hiking was amazing, the sailing superb, the games of CAH and Mexican Train Dominoes and Chess and Shut the Box and Uno were so memorable the birthday/graduation celebration was beyond our wildest expectations - and yet, what we will all remember with greatest affection ,love ad admiration is how the two of you approached each moment with such care, thoughtfulness and genuine, heartfelt dedication. And the ferry on the chocolate mousse and apple crumble bakes was also being able to share our stories, our unique holiday celebrations and such joy and laughter together. We are forever grateful - thank you!! "Shabat Shalom"
