Trust and respect
Motor yacht OPTION B | Greece
We had an absolutely magical week aboard OPTION B. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was flawless. The captain curated a breathtaking itinerary, and the chef - what a talent! Every meal felt like a Michelin-starred experience. The yacht was pristine, and the crew was outstanding - thoughtful, generous, and incredibly professional. Thank you for your expert advice and care. We’re already looking forward to next summer.
Motor yacht ALEXA OF LONDON | Palma, Balearics
Our week aboard ALEXA OF LONDON was simply unforgettable. The captain and his crew were a dream—professional, attentive, and genuinely lovely to be around. The yacht was perfect for our group of six, with a cosy and elegant feel throughout. And the weather… it couldn’t have been better! Thank you for your wonderful support. We will cherish these memories.

Motor yacht SEA AXIS | Bahamas
Our trip on SEA AXIS was phenomenal. Everything was perfect: the yacht, the crew, the itinerary. Having done several family charters before, I can confidently say this was the best crew we’ve ever had. They were flexible, attentive, and a joy to be around. The food was excellent, and the whole experience felt seamless. We’re already planning to do it again and when we do, we’ll definitely be reaching out to Nick.
Motor yacht PATHOS | Ionian Islands
I’m not sure where to begin - our experience on PATHOS was truly beyond words. The yacht itself exceeded every expectation: immaculate, spacious, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of places to unwind. The captain, was exceptional - skilled, personable, and always one step ahead in finding the most beautiful, secluded anchorages. Thank you for your thoughtful guidance and for helping create a week we’ll never forget.
