SOMETHING WONDERFUL GUESTS COMMENTS

Guests that were aboard SOMETHING WONDERFUL in 2022 finally sent through their review... a year later!
Our time with Kayla and Morne on Something Wonderful was nothing short of perfection! We had a fabulous, relaxing vacation and would repeat it again any time. The food prepared by Kayla was definitely ahighlight of the trip. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always perfectly prepared and presented, and was some of the best food we've evereaten. Morne was a fantastic captain, answering our endless questions about where, when, how, etc. in regards to the boat and the geography. He also made the best afternoon cocktails for us each day. If you are thinking about booking with these fine people, do it now. You won't regret it!

The absolute best part of this trip was not the crystal clear water, or beautiful sunsets, or the scenic views from all directions or spacious boat and rooms and terrific food.

By far the most wonderful part of our trip was the crew. It was more like we were on a family members boat than a crewed boat. The service was top notch. The food that came from the hand of Kayla was something you would expect at a 5 star restaurant.

There was not one occasion we felt unsafe with our captain at the helm. Safety was a top priority and he is obviously a professional captain with many hours, years, under his belt. We arrived as strangers but left with three more members of our family.

The first mate was everywhere when we needed him and predicted our needs before we knew we needed them. Water toys were awesome and way more than expected.

The crews knowledge of the area was very helpful and interesting. The boat was way above expectations. So much room for all 8 of our group and the 3 crew members.

Hi Kayla and Morne,
We've been back a few weeks now from our fabulous trip to the BVI & on "Something Wonderful". I was just reflecting on how relaxing and memorable our trip was. We were so impressed with you and Morne. You were such a nice couple that really took care of everything! We really appreciated your attention to every detail and we still miss your delicious meals! We hope to go back one day and take more friends and family. We hope you both are doing well and we also hope you will reach out if you come to California. Take care and God Bless you both.

Brad & Amanda,
On behalf of our group, we want to thank you for a truly amazing experience. Honestly it was the best vacation we've ever had, and much/most can be attributed to you. Everyone felt safe every minute thanks to your combined skills and competencies. The food was absolutely fantastic! You anticipated every one of our needs, stopping at nothing to find and keep our beer supply stocked. Thank you so much and we hope to be lucky enough to sail with you all again soon!

We felt so secure and cared for. What a fine experience to be with the two of you. Thank you, Thank you. Bon Voyage!

You made our adventures onboard memories that will be on "the best" list for a lifetime! Amanda, your creativity from the galley reflected exactly how hard you are constantly working, but you do it with ease, style and grace, making us feel so cared for. Brad, you are a Rennaisance man. You have poise, confidence, understanding and a gentleman's grace. You put all at ease immediately. Your drive will serve you well in all you do. As a team the two of you were a blessing to each of us in every way. We are leaving truly blessed.

Something Wonderful is just That! 27 Jan 2020
We just returned from a 7 day charter in the BVI. We were a group of 4 couples and it was a first experience for all of us, so we really did not know what to except. We choose the Catamaran "Something Wonderful" ... as we boarded we discovered the first problem! The name of this beauty should have been "Something Extraordinarily Wonderful!" Then we met the Crew. We were welcomed with such grace and refinement by each of them. They instantly made us feel at home. Each one were truly professional and passionate about their careers, but more so they became a part of the family and we learned a great deal from their expertise's. The captain was amazing. We knew how seriously he took his responsibility and we always felt safe and in good hands. He plotted a journey that all 8 of us embraced as our best vacation ever. He educated us about this beautiful BVI and each port was unique and special. The chef wowed us everyday with new, fresh and exquisite cuisine. She too provided us a culinary experience we will never forget.. all the while handling this task with ease and such character. The crew worked tirelessly - each sharing in the daily workings of the boat - and we could not help notice the level of discretion. The crew truly made our experience one we shall always cherish and hope to do again. All of that coupled with what we all thought was to be the most fabulous catamaran. The color scheme was gorgeous, perfectly design in function , amble space and of course we felt the fly bridge was perfect! Every inch of that boat was spectacular! We have all decided after this glorious trip... that when choosing the next charter ... we felt it truly came down to The Crew! We would not want to set sail without this crew! We were blessed to have had both : A Something Wonderful Crew AND Boat! Thank you!"

Each one were truly professional and passionate about their careers, but more so they became a part of the family and we learned a great deal from their expertise's. Captain Paul Johnson was a true Captain. We knew how seriously he took his responsibility and we always felt safe and in good hands. Paul plotted a journey that all 8 of us embraced as our best vacation ever. Paul would educate us about this beautiful BVI and each port was unique and special. Isabella wowed us everyday with new, fresh and exquisite cuisine. She too provided us a culinary experience we will never forget.. all the while handling this task with ease and such character. We did wonder before we boarded why we would even need a 3 crew member .. then we met Daniel. Daniel was equally as pertinent and provided the guest with impeccable service. All three crew members worked tirelessly - each sharing in the daily workings of the boat - and we could not help notice the level of discretion. Also it was an honor to see the level of respect they have for their Captain and rightly so. Paul was able to command his crew with great finesse. All three member truly made our experience one we shall always cherish and hope to do again. All of that coupled with what we all thought was to be the most fabulous catamaran.

Dear SOMETHING WONDERFUL crew,

What an amazing Christmas week and an honor to be your first guests! The memories we all made this week will last a lifetime.

Graeme, Lauren and Zayne all went above and beyond to ensure we were fully pampered and happy every minute. They were always ready to do anything from getting movie night set up, water sports with the kids, running us into beach bars, serving yummy drinks of the day (Z Island Rum Punch) and on and on . . . . They helped us make some extra special memories that we will cherish, while getting photos of the whole week so we can take them home.

Something Wonderful REALLY was just that and we cant wait to spend our next time with these wonderful people on this absolutely perfect boat!

Love,
Julie, Kevin, Robyn, Allie, Mackenzie & Maddie XOXO
(Grandpa Bruce and Grandma Jo, too)

From Mackenzie, 11 years old:

Thank you Something Wonderful for this great trip. I hope to come back because the crew is so nice, the whole boat is filled with relaxations of fun activities and excitements. Wish I could stay!

FAQ

We’ll be pleased to assist you in deciding which activities suit your personality and interests the best. Your crew and captain are experts. They are familiar with the locale and the greatest things to do. They can give advice on where to go fishing, diving, or snorkeling. They are aware of the locations of the remotest beaches. They can give advice on the top boutiques, eateries, or nightclubs.

We’ll provide you a food choice survey to fill out so we can figure out what kinds of meals you and your visitors would like to eat while you’re away. Along with your preferences, the form will ask about any dietary requirements, medical restrictions, or food allergies that any members of your party may have. Prior to your departure, you will also get the chance to ask any questions of a crew member. The team will next make your favorite cocktails and fresh, gourmet meals for the rest of the voyage.

Running costs are not included in the rates given for motor yacht charters and must be paid separately. Catamarans for sailing must be all-inclusive. The costs are determined by the number of people and cover all meals, drinks (including the typical ship’s bar), fuel, ice, and aquatic activities. Taxes, dockage fees, and communication expenses must all be paid individually.

Food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, port fees, and any other costs associated with the charter are considered running costs.
Typically, the operating costs represent 35% of the base charter fee. A 35% Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) will be paid in advance of your departure, giving the crew time to stock the yacht. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be provided to you at the conclusion of the charter. If there is still a balance, you will get a refund; however, if expenses are higher than the APA, you will have to pay the outstanding balance before disembarking.

Florida’s tax ranges from 6-7%, depending on the port of embarkation, while the Bahamian tax is 14%. The charter cost also includes tax.

What to anticipate if you have to cancel your vacation is covered in your charter agreement. To protect yourself in the event that unavoidable circumstances force you to cancel your trip, we advise buying cancellation insurance.

luxury yacht rental is made to meet all of your requirements for the entirety of your journey. The skipper and crew will do everything possible to meet and exceed your expectations. The captain’s first priority, however, is the security of his crew and the boat. He has the last say on anything that could affect the safety of passengers.

Yes. Although not required, leaving a tip is encouraged, especially if your yacht rental experience left you feeling especially satisfied. At the completion of your charter, you should give the captain a 15% gratuity.

Once you’ve decided on a yacht, we’ll place an “option” on it, securing it for 48 hours while you finish the paperwork. Then, a yacht charter agreement must be read and signed. We are happy to answer any queries you may have and thoroughly explain the terms. You must send your completed contract together with a deposit for the charter.

50% of the charter cost is required as a down payment; however, if there are less than 30 days to departure, the whole amount is due. The deposit is made via bank wire transfer and is kept in an escrow account by the principal agent of the yacht until just before the charter date. You have secured the yacht once we get your signed contract and down payment.

We’ll start collaborating with you to customize your charter. Your food and exercise preference survey will be delivered to you. We’ll set up a phone call for you and the crew. We will assist you in planning all charter-related details, including transportation in a limousine and flights.

If you are renting a motor boat, the APA funds and the remaining balance of the charter are due 30 days before the start of your trip.
