Dear Roger & Aimee,

It was the trip of a lifetime!  Starting with the champagne arrival, it was a 5 star cruise all the way.

Roger, we loved being whisked away, every day, to a surprise location.  The ribs on the beach in St. Martin, watching people bing blown away by jets at the Airport Bar in Phillipsburg, exploring the caves at The Baths on Virgin Gorda, eating conch at the Bitter End, the painkiller drinks at Saba Rock and conch blowing contest at Leverick Bay, to name just a few.   You always amazed us.  You knew the best places.  We had never sailed before.  You were very patient and taught us so much about the area and safety aboard the boat.   And your stories about sailing around the world kept us enthralled and asking for more.

Aimee, you are the best hostess and an amazing chef.  Your gourmet breakfasts were to die for.  We looked forward to getting up out our comfortable beds in anticipation.  And Roger, your bacon-wrapped prawns, and bbq lobster, made our mouths water. You also anticipated our every need and we felt pampered.

Your boat was immaculately clean.  Loved having our own bathroom.  Loved hanging out on your hammock with the breeze and the sound of the water lapping on the boat, gazing at the stars.  Loved paddle boarding to a secluded beach.  Loved being dropped off on a party island. Loved snorkeling in the most beautiful warm water in the world.  Loved the pictures you sent us.  Loved everything.

Thank you for sharing your paradise with us.  You were both so much fun, we hope to go sailing with you again.

Our charter experience aboard La Palapa was a dream! Our leisurely cruise route took us along the coast of Saint Lucia from Rodney Bay down through Marigot to Hummingbird Bay in Souffries, where the Pitons provide a stunning backdrop for a sunset cocktails.

We had great weather and fair winds and were able to sail the whole time and take in the beautiful coastline without the hum of an engine.

This was a special trip for Lyall and I, who had recently met and fell in love ‘at first sight’. We truly felt like we were already on our honeymoon in that the boat  and crew catered to our lovestruck hearts.

Aimee and Roger, who similarly fell in love in Las Palmas, knew exactly what we needed… the perfect balance of time alone exploring the anchorages and time aboard relaxing in the company of friends.  The food aboard was prepared daily by chef Aimee and the fresh and healthy cuisine was a perfect match for the warm tropical climate and served to recharge us after snorkeling in the sea. It was so nice to wake up and head up to the cockpit for our morning spread.  I left with some great recipes and also some new cocktail concoctions as well.  Roger always made sure we had a perfectly mixed drink in our hands at sunset, and kept our glasses filled with his delicious drinks.  We both felt ‘at home’ while aboard, and really enjoyed their company during the trip. Throughout the charter, Aimee, an excellent photographer, snapped photos of us and she provided us with the images before our departure.  They left us with not only amazing images to remember our trip, but lasting memories as well.

Our time aboard La Palapa was truly magical and we would highly recommend them to  anyone looking for a laid back, stress free charter experience.  They will cater the itinerary to best suit your desires and make sure you have everything you need aboard their beautiful boat. We will surely be cruising with them again in the near future! Thank you both again for such an amazing trip!  A hui ho, until we meet again,

“Roger & Aimee

We had wanted to visit the Spanish Virgin islands since we started chartering in the BVI and this trip exceeded our expectations and then some.  Thanks so much for making this happen for us.

Culebra and Culabrita where amazing with sands and water on par if not better than the BVI.  Aimee’s cooking especially her breakfasts and appetizers where awesome.  Roger was great on the grill we will have to try to replicate the bacon wrapped shrimp.  We also really enjoyed meeting Zaco at Zaco’s tacos in Culebra, it seemed you knew everyone on the island!

We really appreciated you joining us for our tour of the rain forest at the end of our trip.  it was an amazing experience to go from perfect beaches to the dramatic rain forest and evening in Old San Juan.

Enjoy your chartering next year. You will be great!
