Reviews
Every time you plan a trip, you want it to be perfect and some end up being better than others, but never perfect. We can sincerely say that our week aboard the Abundance was truly PERFECT and the best trip we have ever been on. EVER!
Captain Blaine knew every nook and cranny of the islands. The boat was impeccable and nothing compares to the moment you kill the engines and realize the serenity of wind taking you to your next stop. Coves that were crystal blue and the views that got better and better around every point you sailed. The diving & snorkeling was unbelievable - both by day and by night.
Our chef created meals that would rival any restaurant - truly incomparable. Back to back to back… Meals that were made from the heart, not selected off a menu. The hardest question Captain Blain asked the entire week was which meal we liked the most.
This trip was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and it truly was the PERFECT way to mark the milestone. However, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that we will not wait another 20 years to return to the Abundance.
Captain Blaine and Lela were a pleasure to spend our time with. The sailing, anchorages, snorkeling, diving, and hiking were amazing. Capt. Blaine did an excellent job giving us the adventures that we were hoping for. The meals were absolutely delicious- every one of them.
This is the way to vacation!

Siobhan is an excellent chef. We ate really well and enjoyed the gourmet healthy meals that Siobhan prepared for us each day. In fact Donna received copies of many of the recipes so that we could replicate the meals at home.
Prior to leaving we were disappointed that we would not be able to sail to the BVI as we had originally intended. Blaine and Siobhan did such a fantastic job of organizing our week visiting the USVI’s sights on St. Croix & St. John that we honestly didn’t miss the BVI. Our time sailing the USVI was really enjoyable and all we could have hoped for. Not that we wouldn’t have liked to visit the BVI but in lieu of that we couldn’t have imagined a better trip than what we experienced.

If you’re reading reviews in an effort to help you decide, just pull the trigger. I am positive you will have an amazing experience on the Abundance. The yacht and the crew are simply amazing! Fair warning though, after your trip, everything you eat will taste rather bland and subsequent vacation ideas will seem much less appealing.
Every anchorage area and stop was both enjoyable and stunning. We saw gorgeous rainbows, hiked up to postcard-worthy views, snorkeled with sea turtles and other marine life, and paddle boarded to white sand beaches. One of our favorite memories was the floating taco bar in Coral Bay. We also stopped at Cruz Bay and enjoyed a romantic evening as newlyweds on shore. The live music, local cuisine, yummy rum drinks, and sunset views made for the perfect romantic date night. My husband enjoyed learning some sailing basics along the way, and we both loved sitting on the deck on either the trampoline or bean bags to take in all the sights. The sunsets were magical, and our entire week was romantic and perfect. We hope to sail with Abundance again soon!
The boat is new and shiny, and super comfortable (roomy bedrooms with amazing mattresses and pillows, super comfy poufs in the bow to lounge while sailing,..) and we had fun with all the toys and equipment, like the paddleboards or the tube.
We cannot recommend it enough, and hope to be back on Abundance for our next sailing adventure!

Thanks Siobhan and Blaine!
The accommodations were amazing. But, their attention to detail truly made our trip spectacular. This is our third charter in the Virgin Islands and by far our best. The British virgin Islands were closed to us. But, Blaine put together a great itinerary full of sailing, snorkeling, diving, hiking and fun restaurants/bars.
Speaking of food....the BEST food and drink we had during our 7 day cruise was prepared & served onboard. We were blown away with Siobhan’s mastery in the kitchen. Truly, amazing food!
Blaine is a maestro behind the bar-specialties :Painkiller & Bushwhacker. (But he can mix anything)
Blaine and Siobhan were the ultimate hosts and a great team. Both anticipated anything we might need or want. When we thought about drinks, drinks appeared. If we thought about getting hungry, food appeared.
By the way, I knew it was going to be a great trip when you took time to give us a pre-trip call to find out exactly what we wanted to do and what kind of things we like to eat and drink. In our previous trips that had not been done. So, good work! It was a pleasure to get to know both of you. You really are a special couple.
Thanks for a great trip.
