Planning Our Next Trip Already!
Thank you for a tremendous week. Great food, sailing and company.
As this was our first trip we were very excited and wished for a wonderful experience - you two made our trip wonderful!!! - your attention to detail was outstanding - planning our next trip already! Until we see you again.
Our Appreciation To Both Of You
This was our first charter vacation. You truly made this a memorable and beautiful time. The boat was always well tended and the attention to small details was very much appreciated. The culinary delights were out of this world. Your meals were appreciated for breakfast-lunch-appetisers-dinner and dessert! This was a beautiful experience and we owe our appreciation to both of you.
The Spirit and Fun Onboard was Amazing
Thank you for such a great time. A couple of rainy days and we still had a blast. Thank you both for singing with us in our own music concert.
From the culinary delights to always finding the best spots, the vibe was amazing! I've definitely gained the "Tedavi 20" and I don't regret it at all!
The spirit and fun you bring to your work is amazing! Can't wait to come back!"

Absolutely Amazing
James and Ellie, this trip has been absolutely amazing. It has been apparent that every detail had been considered, and paired well with our interests. Of course, the details matter, but you two brought them to life. The culinary genius and sights/views surpassed anything I could have imagined. Thank you as well for being yourselves. For the past week it felt like you were part of this family, making us laugh the whole time. You two have been really genuine and it was great! Hope to see and hear from you two soon!
Such Ease and Grace
How is it possible that each day is better than the previous? Each meal better than the last? Every moment perfect and memorable? Because Ellie and James make it that way. Doing so with such ease and grace, I'm sure that living aboard with people you don't know for a week has to be overwhelming and challenging, but these guys have the love, joy and passion for hospitality. In short they become like family. We will miss them and hope to return. This was a simply sublime week in the BVIs, our first time, and we can't imagine not doing it again, and we also can't imagine going with another crew on a different boat. Thank you guys for caring for us, feeding us, and showing us your slice of heaven. All the best! Richard
Will Never Forget The Memories
Thank you!! This was in fact the best vacation I've ever been on! I've definitely grown a lot in the last week and I owe it to you both. The many laughs, meals, snorkels have been grand. I look forward to our future together and I wish to be as happy as you one day. Again with pleasure, bruvs.
Ellie and James, Thank you both for a fabulous vacation! We couldn't have asked for a better duo to spend the last week with. I will never forget the memories made during this time - from Willy T's to painkillers at Soggy Dollar. Please feel free to come visit us in the future! With love,

Time Spent Planning The Best Week Ever!
Thank you so much for such an amazing trip! Thank you so much for all the time you have spent planning the best week ever (again!). The food was always amazing and I can't wait to come back and spend another week with you!!! Next time I think we need to put a limit on the magical elixers. I couldn't think of a better crew for my first time in the BVI's and I can't wait to come again.
You've Done It Again!
You have done it again. Another perfect week. We love our time with you guys and look forward to coming aboard again and again! You guys are the absolute best and are now grateful to call you friends
AMAZING
Thanks you for the best rip ever. Period.
First off, the food YUMMMMM!! I'm sorry I didn't beat my pancake eating record again. Thank you for going out of your way to make this week as magical as it could be. The snorkeling was AMAZING. As my first time ever going to the BVI's it sure was the best it could ever be. the sailing was so much fun because we could just relax and like an hour later we were in the most calm and beautiful places. Also, the sea scooters were the most fun things I have done. I could not stop playing. Your new boat is amazing, the layout is different but we love it.
thank you too for going out of you way to make the scuba dives happen and getting all of us set up.

Priceless!
All the planning and hours, days, weeks and months of your sweat that goes into making one week for us perfect will never go unnoticed by our family. Being with the two of you is icing on the cake! The food, the experience and the ability for our family to enjoy one another is priceless.
Our family only has a few more vacation weeks until our girls go to college. there is a reason we wanted to be with you again! We are forever grateful to you!

Perfect charter - You are both so kind to accommodate our every request!
Your hospitality is so appreciated. We enjoyed getting to know you and to hear your life stories. We have been in awe of your ability and expertise in the kitchen, at the helm, and all over the sailboat and ashore. One image I will never forget is Rebecca in warrior pose, positioned to nab a mooring ball. You are both so kind to accommodate our every request and handle our foibles with grace. As you conclude your maiden voyage on Tedavi, we wish you a 2023 on this gorgeous boat, a year ahead filled with discovery, adventure, good health, safe travels, deep dives into each other eyes.
Thank you!
Thank you!
AWESOME trip! The food made this trip fantastic!
AWESOME trip! Heiko was very patient with all the questions about sailing, diving and the reef. I enjoyed you sharing your knowledge and I also enjoyed eating all of the fantastic meals Rebecca made. Food can make or break a vacation for sure. This food made this trip for sure. Thanks for making this family trip of ours so fun, tasty and special.
What an amazing trip!
We didn't quite know what to expect and both of you exceeded our wildest dreams about a boat trip vacation! From the amazing breakfasts to desserts.. the meals were outstanding. You really need to assemble a "Rebecca Cook Book. The daytime adventures with Heiko were always memorable. He was always so patient and anticipated everything we all needed. We can't thank you enough for making this an amazing family vacation!
Unbelievable!
Heiko and Rebecca were unbelievable! From the first moment we stepped on board we felt 100% comfortable and relaxed. The accommodations were perfect and immaculate (The entire trip!) The food and drinks were exactly what you would want to eat on a tropical vacation. Heiko and Rebecca knew exactly what we wanted before we knew what we wanted. Heiko made us so comfortable in the ocean and gave us a five star snorkeling experience (MULTIPLE TIMES)
Rebecca's food was INSANELY delicious and was perfectly complimented with heinous cocktails/desserts. We will truly remember this vacation forever. THANK YOU!

The Best Vacation We have Ever Gone On!
As the father and planner of our family vacations, it is always difficult to plan a trip that all four kids will love. We have been all over North America together and my wife and kids all say that THIS was the best vacation we have gone on.
On this trip we got to experience the Virgin Islands. This is experience was because of Heiko and Rebecca. My kids think that Heiko is a super hero. He took us to places in the ocean that were truly amazing. He taught us how to hold our breath for 1.5 minutes and free dive to 25 feet. He even found our lost phone at the bottom of the ocean. He is a real life Aquaman!
In all of our vacations we have never had such awesome eating experience and that was because of Rebecca! Every meal, every snack, every dessert were truly delicious. The whole family is asking if we can do this trip again but only if we can do it with Rebecca and Heiko!
They really made this trip truly special. We all now consider them friends and we WILL see them again.

Five Stars!
To say Rebecca and Heiko exceeded expectations is an understatement. A nice boat is nice boat but the crew makes it special. These two are fantastic! They made our family vacation so special from the 50th anniversary banner, cups and welcome champagne to the wonderful meals and snorkel trips. We would do this trip with this crew all over again!
The Best Crew To Have On A Boat!
Heiko and Rebecca are the best crew to have on a boat. Heiko was basically Aquaman and found all the sea creatures for us to see!
Rebecca was the most amazing chef, I looked forward to every meal the entire trip!
The entire trip was amazing from start to finish!

WOW!
This has been hands down our best family vacation!
From day 1 to day 7 there was so much to see and so much fun had by all. It was amazing to have such a great duo Heiko and Rebecca!
Rebecca had the most amazing meals planned for breakfast, lunch, dinner and appetizers. to make all the member of our family happy with food, is one GREAT accomplishment!
Heiko thank you for all your help (and patience) with our crew. All the pointers on breathing techniques given were so helpful. You were the BEST dive master. All the things we got to see and learn about during our scuba and snorkel dive are unforgettable.
With a family of 6 it is rare that we all agree but without a question this will forever be our FAMILY'S BEST VACATION EVER (until next year and we see you guys again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this such a memorable bonding family vacation for us.
