Yacht Charter Comments: CONTESSA

Thank you Richard & Denise for giving our repeat clients a wonderful vacation aboard Contessa!


Charter dates = December 28, 2008 - January 4, 2009

Yacht = CONTESSA

How did you enjoy your charter?
Without question we enjoyed our charter. This was the 5th sailing vacation for us and the first for the P's. Laura P. (age 21) and Michael P. (age 18) had the time of their life.

Did you find your crew to be helpful, accommodating and friendly?
Capt. Richard and Denise couldn't have been nicer.

Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well maintained?
The Contessa was a beautiful boat. The cabins were very clean and comfortable.

How would you describe the quality and presentation of the meals served on board?
The meals were delicious and the food plentiful, which is important when traveling with two young men (ages 15 & 18).

How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections?
This is the 4th time we have chartered with Paradise Connections and everything went smoothly. I would recommend you to anyone.

Would you be interested in taking another yacht vacation in the future?
I am sure we will be taking another sailing vacation sometime in the next 2 years.

If so, would you like to charter the same yacht and crew?
We would definitely charter again with the Contessa.

It not too early to book for NEXT Christmas / New Years !!!

s/v PERSEUS

This morning's Dutch bridge opening in St. Maarten was quite moving... As the sailing yacht PERSEUS entered the lagoon everyone saluted the yacht with their horns. It lasted about 5 minutes.



Our sincere condolences to all...
