I just wanted to personally thank you for the excellent job you did on this charter. Tyler reached out to me directly to say how fantastic the trip has been and how happy they all are, which is always the best feedback to receive.
From my side, you have been an absolute pleasure to work with, and ! will gladly recommend you to my clients going forward. Thanks again for everything!

The only thing that wasn’t absolutely perfect was that the BVI standard itinerary has become very popular, thus the usual hot spots were quite crowded. Zack is aware and encouraged us to head to must-see stuff like the Baths early in the AM so we would arrive before the crowds.. but there are only so many safe harbor moorings to be had, so a couple nights we woke up in the middle of a sea of other boats, and joked that we might as well be in a Walmart parking lot.. so for our last night we asked Zack to find us a private harbor. And he delivered big time. We spent our last 24 hrs by ourselves with the turtles and the stars in a harbor by ourselves. It was magical. We are so thankful we booked with your group.

The boat was perfect - very clean and well stocked, with several different seating areas for sun or shade, to enjoy as a group or to enjoy in solitude.
More importantly, though, Captain Zack was the perfect addition to our trip. We are a boating family and had been hoping to take this trip for years. We knew nothing about the BVIs and Zack proved the perfect ambassador. He worked behind the scenes to make sure we had perfect anchorages each night, some located just off beach bars and parties, so in remote areas for quiet evenings. He arranged for whatever we wanted. His knowledge of the islands - the best snorkeling spots, the out-of-the-way beaches and bars, the tidbits of trivia as we sailed along - all of it added so much to our adventure. Best of all, he was such a wonderful companion. Zack is the consummate professional - serious and responsible in operating the boat and keeping us safe, while incredibly kind and easy going and flexible. We truly felt that we were vacationing with an old friend.
Zack went above and beyond throughout, talking with me ahead of time so we knew what to pack and expect, taking care of all our grocery shopping so that the boat was fully stocked when we arrived, and then, most remarkably, helping us sort through logistics when we had flight trouble at the end of the week.
We honestly can't say enough good things about Captain Zack and Mah Na Mah - and we hope to enjoy another week with him soon.

Amazing Day!! Highlight of our trip. Captain Zac and First Mate Jamie were delightful and very professional. We always felt like we were in excellent hands. The only reason this company is not ranked #1 is the private small groups they cater to. For our 4 person party, it was not that much more than buying 4 tickets on a big excursion...but Oh the VALUE!!

Sweet Pea raised the bar for fun, laughs, shenanigans and unforgettable memories. If you are choosing between Sweet Pea and another option, Sweet Pea is a slam dunk in providing you with everything you will want and need to create a lifetime memory. We are bringing our children and their spouses next time.

We then stopped at a beautiful beach and we all got in the water (even grandma). The snorkeling was wonderful there, too. After a few hours we had lunch (yummy) more rum pubch, and set sail again. We stopped and snorkeled again! I think the captain and Ist mate smiled as much as we did (and we got a good laugh at the selfie that was taken by captain when grandma asked him to hold her phone ). Definitely our favorite day of our vacation! Thank you crew of Sweet Pea for making it so great!!!

Zach and Robbie were amazing! We had a great time on our charter. They were extremely knowledgeable and educated us about so much of St. John. They took us to three separate spots that were amazing for snorkeling! Robbie was very accommodating for one of our party who has food restrictions, and they were able to enjoy a delicious meal. They also were able to accommodate our grandparents, which allowed for them to also enjoy snorkeling and the day itself on the catamaran. We are so thankful to them for making our charter one to remember!

Captain Zack Lanford
Captain Zack grew up on the Lower Colorado River in Texas’ Hill Country, where skiing, wakeboarding, and wakesurfing were year-round pastimes. Early travels across the United States sparked his wanderlust and developed a lasting curiosity for the natural world, both on land and at sea.
After selling his business in his late twenties, Zack joined a seasoned Atlantic racer to build his blue-water sailing skills. He later co-founded a day-sail charter company in Texas, completed multiple Gulf of Mexico crossings, purchased his own sailboat, and captained voyages along the U.S. East Coast. His experience also includes time aboard Chesapeake Bay schooners and extensive travel through New Zealand and Australia before he made St. Thomas home.
When he is not captaining charters for Paradise Yacht Management, Zack leads a youth sailing program in St. Thomas, teaching Scouts of America how to sail, cook, maintain a vessel, and work together during multi-day island expeditions.
An avid fisherman, Zack enjoys incorporating fishing into the charter experience, especially aboard MAH NA MAH NA. Whether pursuing mahi-mahi or ahi tuna, he adds another layer of adventure and flavor to life onboard.
Zack often calls the ocean “the last frontier,” a place where explorers still roam. As a former business owner turned professional mariner, he combines careful attention to safety and service with infectious enthusiasm, warmth, and an ability to connect with guests of every age.
