This trip was so fun—thanks, Captain Jamie! – Evan Raff

Thank you for showing our family around the BVI and USVI. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the safety and sailing education. It’s a trip we’ll remember for a lifetime. Go Birds! – The Raffs

Captain Jamie – What a dream come true this trip has been! Grand Sue has been talking about taking all the grandkids sailing since our last sailing trip in 2004. Amazingly, it has happened! Though chartering the catamaran wasn’t in our original plan, thank goodness we found you and Rapscallion! You’ve been super flexible and accommodating, while also leading the way to some of the best spots in the BVI. How deluxe to have a guide, captain, chef, and boat connoisseur to lead the way! And you were such a good sport to join us in dancing to Yuck! It’s hard to beat the day in Anegada and that incredible lobster feast, but my favorite nights so far have been relaxing under the stars and making drinks to share together. Gratitude, much respect! Fingers crossed we’ll recreate this reunion again. – First Mate Ashley

Captain Jamie and the Rapscallion turned our BVI charter into a masterclass in how to live well and sail better. From the moment we stepped aboard, Jamie’s planning was tighter than a ship’s rigging-every stop, from the Rhone’s haunting wreck to Anegada’s lobster-laden shores, felt like he’d whispered to the islands ahead of time. He tailored the trip to our interests as he got to know us, weaving in Northern Sound’s rugged splendor, Smuggler’s Cove’s raw edge, and Sandy Spit’s tiny paradise-each a perfect match by the journey’s end. His know-how was encyclopedic; he navigated us through Jost Van Dyke’s party pulse and pristine snorkeling spots with the ease of a man who’s memorized the Caribbean’s heartbeat. Recommendations were spot-on-RMS Rhone’s underwater cathedral left us awestruck, Anegada’s beaches were a revelation, and Jost’s Soggy Dollar was a triumph of timing. The snorkeling? I’ve got a new standard for ‘clear water’ now. Bonus points: his connection to Sweet Tea Willy, the taxi driver with more charm than a barrel of rum, added a local flavor we’ll never forget. Jamie didn’t just captain a boat-he orchestrated an odyssey. The Rapscallion’s a gem, and we’re already plotting our return. Ben

Rapscallion and Jaime, thank you for a journey that felt like more than just Miles. Both the craftsmanship of the vessel and the wisdom at the helm, your skill and the boat spirit delivered days worth savoring. Mike, Ben, Christina, Maude, Harun

Jamie, Thank you for such a relaxing and joy filled week. We laughed, we ate, we saw turtles, we hiked, some of us saw jumping sting ray’s…. It was amazing. Can’t thank you enough and can’t wait the BVIs! Within you a wonderful nest of the season! Lots of love from TX, ❤️Megan, Dustin, & Hannah
