"... just discovered one of the most decadent and luxurious chartered sailing vacations in the Caribbean - just for two people in Paradise!"Jim Walberg, Caribbean expert...CaribbeanIslandsRealty.com__________________________________________________ ![]() Thank
you so much for a wonderful experience on Safari! Our trip to Las
Aves was the trip of a lifetime and truly one of the best vacations we
have ever taken. From the moment we came aboard, we knew we were
in the perfect place with the best people. Luxury and relaxation
at its finest! Ed & Nat are a terrific couple who know
exactly how to make this sailing vacation the ideal getaway. Ed
is an excellent captain and sailing on Safari was unbelievably fun and
entertaining. We couldn’t get over how many dolphins we
saw! The on-board experience was equally brilliant: gorgeous
boat, a lovely large cabin, and food and wine that were absolutely
exemplary (thanks to Nat’s ability to cook both high end cuisine
and delicious “comfy” foods so well and wine pairings for
each meal that were just superb). And to top it all off is the
crown jewel of this experience: Las Aves. Arriving at Las Aves is
like finding your own personal piece of heaven. Crystal clear
water, soft white sand, and warm tropical breezes allow you to lose
track of time and just relax and enjoy. Although the snorkeling,
beach combing, reef exploration, kayaking, and even beach-napping was
fun beyond belief we think that the best part of Las Aves is the
genuine feeling that you are living on your own private island, but
with all the best amenities one could ever imagine. We will
always treasure our memories of our spectacular time on board
Safari. Thank you again!
Emiley & Keith Lockhart Boston, MA ![]() Thank
you so much for guiding us on a truly unique honeymoon sailing
adventure. The Aves are an amazing place that we will never forget
– especially our own private white sand beach. The service you
provided was top notch. We felt like a king and queen on our own yacht
– you went the extra mile to make sure all our needs were being
met. Every meal was beautifully presented and was so delicious –
and the wine pairings were excellent. To this day we have no idea how
you were able to generate so much amazing food in a small boat’s
kitchen in the middle of the ocean! Sailing with you guys was a great way
to unwind after the hectic whirlwind of a wedding – thanks so
much for a wonderful experience!
Bill and Prudence Wright New York, NY ![]() Our travel style is to find an exotic, luxury destination that offers personalized attention. Safari Sailing gave us the boutique experience we were looking for, with an exotic locale and wonderful hosts. Being able to leave all decision- making to Ed and Natalie's good judgment and great style led to a blissful ten days in Las Aves, where for the first time in years, we completely lost track of time. The reefs with great snorkeling, were always a short jump off the deck. "Rancho de Bambi" (palapa), with its wonderful shade on a deserted beach, was an easy float from the boat and a perfect spot to read and relax until cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were delivered. On a Safari Sailing charter, you can do as much or as little as you want. And while there were incredible options to take advantage of in this special place, for us, just practicing the art of doing nothing was perfect.
Linda and Filip DubovskyWashington, DC ![]() My
Mom and I fear that it will be very difficult to return to the
“rat race” after the fabulous week we spent with you on
Safari. I know my Mom will miss the beauty of the islands, the amazing
clearness of the water, and the colorful vegetation. As for
myself, although I will certainly miss the peaceful mornings, the
beautiful sunsets, the gorgeous scenery, the water sports, I KNOW it is
all the pampering that I will miss the most, not to mention
Natalie’s cooking! Your care, knowledge and friendliness
made us feel so privileged and turned our holidays into a memorable
week of fun and adventure aboard Safari! Thank you also for introducing
us to the best snorkeling locations (that turtle and those sea rays
were incredible!), the best beaches, the best shopping spots (Natalie
has particular expertise in this area!). We will think back
longingly on that special week and look forward to our next return!
Anouk & Diane Lalonde Ottawa, Canada Thank
you for sharing "your home" with us
and helping to make my 50th such
a wonderful experience. It is
difficult to express in such simple
limited vocabulary just how awesome the
week was. To have the opportunity
to be in such a beautiful
location and to be "celebrated" in
such an incredible way is a
memory I shall never forget. Having
the opportunity to meet and share
this with the two of you was
certainly an added blessing. Your
kindness and special treatment during the
trip truly blessed me. I pray
God's blessings on your life and
His watchful eye over you
as you continue your travels. With
love, prayers & much gratitude,
Glenda & David Watson
Smyrna, GA ![]() Imagine sailing through the British Virgin
Islands on a private sailing charter,
perfect weather, magnificent boat, trustworthy
crew, fabulous food... well you don't
have to if you book an adventure
with Safari. DO IT NOW! Our
honeymoon was a spectacular adventure filled
with sailing, hiking, biking, sleeping,
sunning, eating
and love. Having been on several
sailing charters I can say without
hesitation this was by far the
best and we would go again.
Happy
SailingJennifer & Bouker Pool New York, NY ![]() What
a fantastic voyage we shared. Your
hospitality and catering were outstanding.
You made Joan's birthday celebration
wonderful & romantic! Thank You.
Joan Gamble & Chip Paison Rutland, Vermont ![]() The
Aves
is a fantastic area and the sail
over was easier than
expected. Thanks for showing us your
special island with it's perfect
beach. Your boat is incredible and
you both are doing great work.
We loved
the beach BBQ under the stars
and Nat's artichoke bake was heavenly.
The unlimited fresh water
showers in such a dry and
remote place were sublime. Thanks to
Ed's
windsurfing
tips, we are really improving.
Bronte will miss the spearfishing
and I'll miss all that fresh fish!
We really enjoyed our
time with you. Shame it had
to end so soon, but we hope
to return someday.
Helmke Möller & Bronte Heinrich Capetown, South Africa ![]()
with previous boat: You
guys couldn't be a better
team for chartering: you really know
how to make
people enjoy their vacation. Superb
service and meals, excellent
knowledge of the area with the
best anchorages, awesome sailing sessions,
and impressive planning of activities.
The whole experience was
first-rate and our friends were
jealous of our amazing pictures. Thank
you again, and again!
Diana & Al NelsonNederland, Colorado ![]() with previous boat: As
first timers, this adventure was
amazing. We felt very comfortable
aboard, and you take great pride in
keeping her exceptionally clean and
organized. You're both wonderful and
doing a marvelous job. We're leaving with a nice tan, a
memorable experience, and we'll be back
for
sure.
Lizanne & Deniz Onder Westmount, Quebec ![]() with previous boat: After
chartering a few bareboats, we
decided to try acrewed boat.
What a
difference! For about the same money,
we were pampered, fed like kings
and still got to sail as
much as we wanted. All the hassles
of
bareboating (anchoring, docking, cooking,
cleaning, etc.) were
eliminated and Ed's local knowledge of
the sailing waters led us to
spots we never would have found.
Truly a decadent way to sail.
