My husband and I took our 2 adult children along with their spouse and girlfriend on a week vacation onboard SV Boatox March 29-April 5, 2025. My heart is so full from the memories we made as a family. What a blessing to witness everyone so appreciative and enjoying this extraordinary sailing experience. With that being said it could not have happened so seamlessly without Captain Westley and First Mate/Chef Leandri. From our first communication it was obvious they both took pride in their jobs and the boat. Boatox was very clean upon our arrival and remained that way throughout our vacation. The food and drinks were fantastic, and even tailored to individual’s likes and dislikes. We experienced amazing sailing with very high winds thanks to Westley’s expertise. He picked the perfect spot to moar each day to explore and relax. I am grateful to have met Westley & Leandri and for the pampering they gave us. None of us would change a thing. This was a 5 star vacation with a 5 star crew that my family will treasure forever!

We recently had the upmost pleasure to experience life aboard the Boatox. Our family spent a week sailing between Saint Thomas and Saint John islands with the most spectacular views, food and company. Captain Westley expertly and safely navigated us to all the best spots and Chef Leandri crafted the most beautiful and delicious meals every single day. They were a joy to be with and honestly made the experience even better if that’s possible. We couldn’t have imagined a better trip without them. This truly was such an amazing and once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget!

I have to admit I was a little apprehensive when it came to having a captain and 1st mate. Previously I had always done barefoot. However, Lee and Wesley we're fantastic. Wesley, the captain was always in complete control of the boat and knew the BVI waters like the back of his hand. Lee, the first mate, could not have been more accommodating. She cooked gourmet meals for both breakfast, lunch and dinner. She was available when you needed her but seemed to disappear when you needed your time alone or privacy. The boat “Boatox” was built in 2024 and was in pristine condition, much to the credit of Wesley and Lee. I should also mention that I had never used a broker before but John Dewhurst from Yacht Vacations couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. He held our hand as to the steps contracting the yacht as well as the arrangements as to where you pick up the yacht and go through customs etcetera. He called several times just to make sure everything was going well and to make sure we did not have any concerns or questions. I should point out that the one time we had a concern, John immediately got the issue resolved. Thanks Lee, Wesley, and John for making this a memorable and fantastic experience!

We had an unforgettable week on Boatox in the BVIs! Just my husband and our 11-year-old daughter and it could not have been more perfect. We spent six nights on the boat, exploring Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Guana Island, JVD, and NormanIsland. Our Captain Westley and Chef Leandri We’re amazing in every way! They had the perfect balance of professionalism and becoming our friends for the week, and we now consider them friends for a lifetime! Westley was not only a great captain, but also super helpful with all the extras, such as boat accessories, fishing, etc. He was always willing to go above and beyond to make our days fun and interesting! Leandri was such a great addition for all of us! . Our daughter loved her fun spirit, especially when she jumped with her from Willie Ts! Leandri’s cooking skills were spot on! She created the perfect menu based on our preference sheet and was totally prepared for our daughter‘s picky palate! None of us went hungry for the week and we were pleased with every single meal. Not only was it delicious, it looked beautiful. The boat itself was perfect for our family! It was very pretty and I think only a year old. The master bedroom was more spacious than I expected and the beds were super comfy! There were plenty of spots for lounging and sitting while going to different locations. We would definitely book Boatox again or recommend to friends and family!

Sailing through the BVI’s on Boatox was an experience we’ll never forget! Lee & Wes went above and beyond as guides, making sure we explored the best spots and didn’t miss a single highlight. The delicious meals on board, paired with the fun events and outstanding service, made the entire trip truly special. Every moment was thoughtfully planned, leaving us with memories to last a lifetime. We’re already looking forward to our next adventure with Boatox!

We just returned from a 7-day BVI trip to celebrate my wife's 50th. Went with two other couples that are dear friends. Hard for me to describe in words how much fun this adventure was... Starting with the crew - Leandri and Westley...Amazing! You can tell they have a passion for what they do and they took care of us like no other. The food was off the chart - and we ate most all of our meals on the boat. They were extremely accommodating and when we tried to help with anything and everything (which we're all wired to do!) they would not let us. One of the highlights of this trip was getting to know them and their story - just fantastic people! The islands are breathtaking. Lea and Westley planned us an amazing itinerary which included Peter Island, Norman Island, Leverick Bay, Virgin Gorda, Guana Island and Jost Van Dyke. We hit Willy T's for a drink, Soggy Dollar, Foxy's, The Baths, The Bubbly Pool, spent New Year's Eve at the Bitter End. We went into the week with some knowledge to what we would be doing - and found it best to wake up each morning and ask Lea and Westley where the day would lead us...of course each day was perfect. The boat was out of this world! We learned that is was built in 2024 - it was beautiful. We never felt crowded - had plenty of space. They have tons of toys on board (Paddle boards, rafts, etc) that we enjoyed and the cabin rooms were perfect. To go back to the food - I want to reiterate how great it was. Breakfast each morning was a great way to start the day and for the dinners we enjoyed pastas, paella, gourmet burgers, STEAK, Gyros! I know I'm forgetting a few - but each meal was unbelievable. Usually we ate lunch on land somewhere. There were plenty of snacks on board and of course I cannot leave out the cocktails were amazing. Lea made the most amazing drinks - especially the Pain Killers on New Year's Day - which could not have been delivered at a more perfect time. We enjoyed great wine, plenty of Caribs, etc... Derek was great to work with in getting everything booked - and we were actually able to meet him as we boarded the boat. Fantastic job my friend - it wildly exceed ALL of our expectations. To wrap things up - I wanted to highlight some of the notable "experiences" we had along the way... We took a water taxi to the Boatox named "Cap'n Crunch". For folks that grew up in the 70s and 80s - I don't need to explain how special this is... For our trips to The Baths - we rode with a driver named "Tiger". We quickly understood that he basically ran the island - and we knew we could call him for anything 🙂 ! The vibe at Soggy Dollar was outstanding. Tons of people just meeting tons of other people and having a great time. As the bartender "Big Bird" said as he was drumming up a few Pain Killers - "Everybody at this place is happy man!" If you do the BVIs - you will see boats that blow your mind. HUGE boats! But - you know that those folks in those boats are not having a better time than the Boatox! So...To Lea, Westley, Derek, and the rest of the staff at The Yacht Vacation Company - hats off to ALL of you. You delivered such an amazing trip that we will never forget! I've included one picture of our entire group that Lea took. Pictures are always worth a thousand words! All the best Lea and Westley - and we can't wait to meet up again! We love y'all!!!! --- Langley, Wilbur, AAANNNDrew, Merebear, Brooke-a-licious & the amazing birthday girl Steph.
