Thanks for a fabulous trip. Loved the food. Look me up in St. Thomas. ❤️ Janet This was a very special trip. It was a joy to live on a boat, swim every day, sail, bask in the sun and live with such a wonderful group of humans. The food, the amenities, and the care felt nurturing. I am leaving with some blissfulness and also filled with a sense of rest & restoration. With much gratitude, Mary Lynn

What a blessing to have had this opportunity!! This was a bucket list trip for our family and it was fantastic! Coming from OK we don’t get to the ocean very much and this was such a treat! Capt. James was so helpful with the kids! Getting out all the water toys, fishing and cleaning the fish! Jeanique (sp?) the stew was always ready to make a drink and we will always remember the amazing table settings!!! And the food! Chef Jody! Amazing! We ate very healthy and I still think I gained 10 lbs… Absolutely fantastic. We have nothing negative to say everything was positive. Not to mention the most beautiful water we have ever seen. We will forever cherish this trip, the experience, the new friends and new memories! Thank you all for such a special week!

The weather tried to test us, but we still had the best time this week with so many stories to take home. Thanks to the best crew on the islands! The food and service were fabulous. Captain James made sure we were in the right places at the right times. We even had the opportunity to spot a whale! We ended our trip with a bright sunny day on Jost. It was a trip I will never forget & we are so blessed to have shared it with great friends and a great crew. The boat is absolutely beautiful and loved every detail. — Steve and Wendy — Darryl + Terri — Greg + Patricia — Judy & Wendell — Dawn & Rodger

Thank you for an incredible week! As first-timers to the Caribbean and the BVI, this was an amazing way to experience the islands, water activities, fresh cuisine, and great hospitality. The entire boat experience was phenomenal – and your focus on our “wants” throughout was beyond compare. We have many memories to carry with us – until next time! Patty & Pete Absolutely a fabulous vacation. Sailing with strong breezes across open water was a highlight. Scuba diving with James I greatly appreciated. And the food was to die for. Thank you James, Jadine and Jody for your royal treatment. Kathy and Dean We could not have had a better week! What n amazing crew. Thank you so much to Jadine for ensuring that we were well oiled, Jody for creating fabulous meals and James for timelessly showing us the best the BVI could offer and tendering us to the best spots. What a wonderful treat it has been to be treated in such luxury. Evan

A trip that exceeded all our expectations. We thought we’d spend a week with friends escaping the Ohio weather. It was exponentially more than that. So fun to explore a new island each day, feeling like we had space and freedom to enjoy the sea life, the people, and the aura without suffocating crowds. Thank you for taking such good care of us and creating an experience we will treasure as we journey back to Ohio. We will tell our friends to book on SEVEN. Hands down the best Caribbean vaca ever! - Kris We have been fortunate to go on a lot of amazing trips over the years, but this one tops them all … by a mile! It has been incredible from the start to finish. The crew of SEVEN are top notch! Captain James navigated us seamlessly throughout our journey and provided so many interesting facts along the way. Stewardess Jadine took care of our every need. She kept our drinks filled and our cabins clean, and always with a smile on her face. Chef Jody served the best food we’ve ever eaten. Every single meal was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and beautifully presented. We cannot thank you enough for ensuring that this bucket-list trip exceeded every single one of our expectations. You all are truly amazing! - Jessie & Eric What an incredible week we’ve had aboard this beautiful charter. From the moment we set sail, every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of the British Virgin Islands. James, your expertise and knowledge of the waters made every journey an adventure. Jody, your culinary talents blew us away, each meal was a delightful experience. Jadine, you made us feel at home with your impeccable service and thoughtful touches. From keeping our cabins tidy to making sure we had everything we needed. -Steve & Sandy

The trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much for all the thoughtfulness you put into making this holiday so special. James – while the winds may not have been ideal, you putting up the sails made my dad so happy. I will remember that sail forever and how thrilled my dad was watching you single-handedly operate the boat. Jody – you put so much thought and time into making our meals – those chocolate desserts – Delicious! Jadine – you brought the SUNSHINE! What a joy you are! Thank you for your easygoing personality & bright smile.

Captain James, Jody, and Jadine, We waited 11 months after planning this trip and it was so worth the wait! You more than exceeded our expectations in every way! From all of the “toys” for the water to the little amenities like water bottles and towels to the table settings to the appetizers on the fly bridge and the absolutely amazing meals three times a day! Captain James, thanks for picking the best spots for our first family trip to the BVI. You figured out exactly what we liked and each setting was amazing. Jadine – we will never forget the night you carried two bottles of champagne on the dinghy so we could ring in the new year properly! Jody – so sorry we never gave you a night off, but its because your meals were fantastic! Thanks for making every meal so unique and so good! The best part was hearing how much fun our four children had. We will always remember the laughter & fun! Thanks for providing the best family vacation

December 2024 Many thanks to James, Jody, and Jadine for taking such great care of us. I can’t say enough about Seven and crew. I would recommend this trip to everyone! We will be back! Captain James – we could not have asked for a more steady, trusted, or seaworthy hand at the helm. Thank you for piloting/pirating our voyage! Seven Crew – Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. You all created amazing memories for my family and I. Every moment spent was wonderful. We will definitely be back.

Wow! What a wonderful way to spend a week! Sailing the BVI aboard SEVEN surpassed even my loftiest expectations! Not only is SEVEN an absolutely beautiful ship both inside and out, but the charter comes equipped with very nice scuba gear, fun water toys, and fishing equipment. During our sailing, we caught some tuna that ended up as an amazing sashimi. In fact all of Chef Koko’s meals were great: fresh, healthy, and tailored to each person’s preferences. Elisha, the stewardess, prepared beautiful table settings for each meal every day, and she was always very attentive making sure we had everything we needed. She was always there to greet us with cool drinks after every excursion. Captain James is an awesome dive master and local expert. I can’t imagine a friendlier, more professional crew. They made the trip so much fun. Thanks to the top notch crew and beautiful, top of the line amenities, this trip definitely ranks as one of our absolute favorites! We’ll definitely sail on SEVEN again!

We had an exceptional week’s experience onboard Sail Cat Seven, exploring the Islands of the BVI. The crew of three consisting of Captain James, Chef Koko and Stewardess Elisha went above and beyond their call in making our trip special. James’ seamanship is exemplary, and his knowledge of the islands meant we had such memorable experiences be it snorkelling, diving, partying to simply enjoying lunch in a scenic bay. Koko produced wonderful food every day that was fresh and healthy, tailoring it to your own personal tastes. Any requests were always welcomed. Elisha was always on hand for whatever we needed, day or night. Her signature cocktails are a must. The boat itself is absolutely stunning. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable with each cabin having its own on suite. There were wonderful touches throughout the boat that made it feel uniquely special. There are plenty of “sea toys” to have lots of fun with including diving equipment. It certainly rates as one of the best holidays we’ve ever had.

Annie and I had the privilege of joining the fabulous catamaran “Seven” for an unforgettable week in the BVI in November, a Voyage Hybrid 590 that is stunning in every way. The international crew headed by Capt James struck the perfect balance of being attentive and yet also discreet. James knows the islands and their history inside out, Koko the chef works wonders with his 3 creative meals a day, whilst Elisha, the delightful hostess tends to every need from morning coffee on the main deck to after dinner digestif on the flybridge. Meals are paired with a selection of great wines and in ample quantity. We were 4 couples, and this yacht provides the optimum combination of open deck socializing space as well as total privacy in the 4 en-suite air-conditioned rooms. Meals are served al fresco on the rear deck but under the shade. Full diving gear is on board and supervised by Capt James, with snorkeling and kayaking for those less adventurous to enjoy the beautiful clear waters. The carefully planned itinerary allowed us to enjoy everything the BVI has to offer from secluded sandy beaches to delightful local bars. In short, this immaculately presented boat with its charming crew is truly the trip of a lifetime!!

We had the ultimate luxury sailing experience island hopping on the newly built Sail Cat Seven. Visiting the best anchorages from secluded coves to thriving night spots and secret dive sights. Thanks to Captain James’s local knowledge, We shared some unforgettable experiences with friends and family. E-foiling over crystal calm waters, Scuba diving with turtles, snorkeling around the Indians, kayaking to the beaches, catching a 6.5lb Bonefish wading the flats of Anegada and catching Mahi Mahi off the back of the boat. Many bucket list experiences were checked off. The girls painted with watercolors trying to catch the ever-changing views. We enjoyed the evening breeze with a cocktail on the flybridge. The service was outstanding. Every meal was curated from delightful table settings by Stewardess Alisha Rose to flavorful dishes crafted by Chef Koko. These memories will be with us forever, Thank you Lapa side charters, the crew, family and friends on board for this wonderful experience. If you need some inspiration in your life – Just go! Ant, Lou & James
