Testimonials
Skyelark has placed top in class for many races and rallies, but we also offer a first-class experience to all our customers, many of whom sail with us again and again. Below are just a small selection of testimonials we have received:
'So many thanks for your endless kindness, hospitality and delicious food. Learnt so much about sailing and life on the high seas.'Julie - BVI whole boat charter 2012
'Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality - you couldn't have done any more to make our stay enjoyable - your calmness at sea, wonderful cooking and general friendliness could not have been better. Hope to sail with you again'Bimmy - BVI whole boat charter 2012
'Thank you for a safe, calm sailing holiday. The food was delicious and you make a great team! Thanks again!'Allison - BVI whole boat charter 2012
'We just want to say thank you for an absolutely fantastic 10 days, or in fact 11 as it turned out. It was a shame that we could not get the flights rearranged as it would have been great to sail with you to Antigua, but regardless of that we both had a truly fantastic time on board.
Apart from the joy of the boat and the Caribbean itself, the attention that the pair of you showed us and the efforts you took to ensure that we had a good time was second to none.
We are absolutely certain to recommend you to anyone considering a Caribbean charter as it is impossible to imagine anyone offering the same level of enjoyment and care that you showed.'Jon and Bobbie - Leeward Island Cruise April 2012
'For fear of repeating myself, may I just thank you both for such a fantastic sailing holiday with you on Skyelark. I have always wanted to sail the BVI's & the trip with you & everyone on board made it a great holiday for me.'Keith - BVI individuals cruise 2012
'Thank you once again for a great time on Skyelark. I am usually nervous about repeating things as they often do not live up to ones memories but they are all adding up to make a whole and a brilliant whole that is too!'Nigel - Grenadines whole boat 2012
'Thanks to you and Em for what was unquestionably the best holiday I have ever had. I felt less like a guest and more like a friend you were introducing to your favourite places in the Caribbean.
I loved the mixture of sailing, hiking, exploring off the beaten path and relaxing. Your knowledge of the islands and their hidden treasures was terrific. The dinghy rides to shore and to the special snorkeling spots were great fun. Best of all, the sunset evenings relaxing with a glass of wine and enjoying the super meals and canapes presented by you and your caring crew.
I can't wait to come back. Thank you again.'Sarah - Leeward Islands cruise February 2012
'It's raining here, I knew it was a mistake to catch that plane back. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the last two weeks, better than I could have imagined - that lobster on Christmas Day at Tobago Cays was simply the best one ever. Glorious sun filled days in exotic locations, can't beat it. Truly life enhancing. Best Wishes and Happy New Year in Rodney Bay'Roger & Alex - Christmas & New Year 2011
'The ARC has been a true adventure for all of us and each will take away unique and lasting memories, having achieved something really special. Of course none of this would have been possible without Skyelark and Dan and Will, whose skill and patience guided us through squalls, sail changes and the mysteries of navigation and safe seamanship. Quite an achievement in itself. A heart-felt thank you from us all.'Whole boat ARC charter 2011
'Just a quick email to say a huge thank you for hosting and skippering us on the race at the weekend.
Dad really enjoyed the day. Mum is complaining that he has not stopped going on about how great the weekend was and Dad has commented that the whole experience made him feel younger. I haven't seen him smiling so much for ages.
I too had a fabulous time. Skyelark is a superb boat and the way you managed all of us was terrific.'Vicky - Round the Island Race 2011
'Once again, thank you for an amazing trip! You are a great skipper and made me feel very safe in testing conditions! The rest of the folk were great company too.'Sue - Round the Island Race 2011
'Just a quick note to say thanks for the RTIR Charter. It was the most fantastic experience. The Crew were great company and the trip fulfilled and exceeded all of my expectations.
Skyelark was the perfect choice in such choppy conditions as she rounded the needles! I can't imagine how ill I would have been in one of those smaller boats.
Dan you are a great Host and Skipper and to navigate clear passage amongst all the other competitors was truly impressive.
So thank you very much, highly recommended!'Rob - Round the Island Race 2011
'Dan and Em, I just wanted to say what a fabulous time I had on the boat. This was the best vacation ever. Can't wait to see you next year.'Sam - Leeward & Grenadines Cruises 2009, 2010, 2011
