We get asked all the time:
What’ll they do all day?
For starters:
Discoveries around every coral head!

Sailing!! Or Driving a power yacht? More fun than video games!!
Here’s a GREAT article about why kids should sail.
Read HERE from the American Sailing Association: ASA. We used to teach these courses. Great fun!

We all had such an AMAZING time with Andre and Alison!! Our children absolutely loved the boat, and Alison was amazing with the kids! The food was awesome, the water perfect, snorkeling was the best … it was an amazing experience, and our whole family had an incredible time! ❤️
They planned a scuba vacation that allowed us to dive almost every day, taking us to some of the most beautiful sites in the BVI. They altered course to take us to great places to eat—including a special request from my son to visit the Willy T. They adjusted the menu to allow for me—the vegetarian. They ensured that we had a great time during “down time.” And, since my son turned 13 during the trip, Alison baked a cake and they arranged for a little celebration for him. John Q.

The yacht was gorgeous and was stocked with everything we could have needed! Charly and Carolina are very particular about their yacht, and therefore it is in great shape with no problems! The sleeping arrangements were comfy (although our middle daughter Hannah did bang her head on to the upper berth several times before she learned not to!) LOL.

Thank you both so much for such a wonderful week. Our entire family made memories that will last forever and thank you for being so patient with the 2 kids, they enjoyed meeting and playing with Val and wished they would have had longer to spend with him.
