Here are a few comments from our clients...
August, 2023 - Carpe Diem 7, CroatiaI speak for our entire group that we had an absolutely fabulous trip with the crew of the Carpe Diem 7. Niko and his crew provided services at the highest level. The chef was as good as any chef you will find anywhere. In fact, if I had to do it again I am not sure we would leave the boat for a meal. The water and views were amazing along with the beautiful coastlines. The vessel was very comfortable with a variety of areas to sun bath, eat and drink. We would highly recommend this crew for your next vacation. In addition, Sharon was a huge assistance for me personally who organized our group’s trip from everything from sailing dates, to meal and drink packages, transportation to and from hotels and boat. She also was not only helpful arranging the trip but continued to help us while we were there.

February, 2023 - Miss Summer, British Virgin IslandsI cannot say enough about the level of expertise and professionalism I received while booking my charter with LCG. Sharon was extremely responsive, helpful and caring to ensure a wonderful hassle free trip from start to finish. As a group of 6 we were cared for in every way and enjoyed our crew, the boat and the destination. I will be back soon to plan my next adventure! Thank you so much Sharon!

September, 2022 - ONE BLUE, CroatiaDear Sharon,
Henry and I would like to give you our evaluation of our week long cruise on “ ONE BLUE” , under the leadership of Captain Ivo Zuvuelo.
This was a reunion of a very close knit group of friends ( 8 of us in total) and I must say, the Captain and his amazing crew truly made it memorable. There was not a single request that went unanswered and always with smiles.
Captain Ivo is, by far, one of THE MOST PROFESSIONAL And caring Captains we have ever encountered. He always wanted to make sure that all of us were content, comfortable and happy. His first and second mates were so knowledgeable, hard working,also very professional, always discreet, and extremely friendly and caring.
Yellena and Tonya were fantastic! They made sure everything was always on point in our rooms , that table service was perfect, and cocktails ( which were always great) were served as needed and their memories for our likes and dislikes as far as drinks were incredible!
They worked closely with me in planning the special events I wanted to surprise our friends with and made every effort to fulfill most of my requests to the best of their ability and with what was available! I was truly impressed one night to walk downstairs and even see how involved Captain Ivo was in working alongside his crew in decorating the salon for a special Birthday celebration!!!… yet another testament to his caring and Professionalism! The Crew carried off every surprise with wonderful panache❤️Now on to Simi, the CHEF! Two words- ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! Simi presented our meals beautifully, Everything was so delicious, carefully prepared and he was always conscious of our dear friend who needed to eat Gluten free and even her food was AMAZING!!
None of us honestly can truly recall that he repeated any dish at all throughout our 7 day cruise!! His menus were thoughtful planned out. When my husband mentioned he loved Caviar in passing ( which he had not put on the preference list), Simi made a dish heavily garnished with caviar- Henry LOVED THAT OF COURSE!!!
IN ALL, we have only abundant praise for our trip on the ONE BLUE. It could not have been more idyllic! The Captain and crew were phenomenal!
Additionally, working with Sharon Bahmer was wonderful . Sharon was always available for any questions, and facilitated the booking with ease after giving us numerous choices.
We highly recommend “ONE BLUE” with Captain Ivo and utilising Sharon Bahmer.

August, 2022 - Aurum Sky, CroatiaWe had a truly wonderful time!
Here is my feedback:
Booking process - I really enjoyed working with you Radek. You were very responsive, very personable, communications felt very professional and easy.
Thank you for this - it worked super well for us.
We really liked the restaurant Bokeria that you booked in Split. It was a relief with the heat to have somewhere inside! This was a great recommendation and booking.
The transfer from Sibenik to Dubrovnik was excellent. Our driver, Bud, with Gold Prestige was truly excellent - Please pass this feedback on. He was very professional, never went on his phone, made great suggestions, was so nice. He was excellent. Please do pass this on to the company.
And the Aurum Sky!
We LOVED our time on the boat.
The boat is beautiful / very new, spotless, well looked after, well organised and equipped.
Jere was excellent - and I love the fact it is his own boat - it felt so personal and gave me so much more confidence too... I felt that he takes safety very seriously and that is really important to us.. (was reading about the accident in Sardinia). So we felt super safe and comfortable in his hands. He is an excellent captain, he made great recommendations for the itinerary and also we loved Roki’s which he booked on Vis, and all the beautiful towns and bays he took us to..
He was great to spend time with and very professional and we really liked him very much.
His crew were all excellent and looked after us extremely well. We had amazing meals - his chef is excellent.
We had a truly wonderful experience…
We really loved Croatia too…
Thank you SO much for all"
June, 2022 - Serenity, GreeceDear Joanna
We just wanted to let you know that we had the most amazing two week trip sailing around the Cyclades with Spiros and Xenia on Serenity. Despite having no help pretty much for the whole 2 weeks as Marietta was unwell, Spiros and Xenia made our trip so special, memorable and although they have become good friends with us now, their professionalism never wavered. We really didn’t want the holiday to end. Thank you for all your assistance and attention to detail ensuring we had a brilliant holiday.
We really hope all is well with you and no doubt we will be in touch about our next sailing holiday for 2023!
With many thanks
Very best wishes

March, 2022 - Belle Vie, British Virgin IslandsWe began working with Sharon during the summer of 2020 to plan a BVI charter for eight to celebrate a birthday in February 2022. Sharon sent us several options to consider, two of which were brand new Bali 48 foot catamarans with a crew (captain and a cook). We chose the Belle Vie, and Sharon worked patiently and tirelessly with us for 18 months through all the ups and downs of the pandemic, which included many changes in testing and entrance requirements and a change in embarkation from St. Thomas to Tortola. She was incredibly responsive to our emails, often replying immediately or within the hour to answer our questions and address our concerns. In addition, Sharon communicated with the owner to advocate for us and provide updates as things changed, provided a comprehensive preference form to help us customize our vacation, and introduced us to our amazing crew. We had a fantastic vacation, and we can’t thank Sharon enough for making sure it all went smoothly. We hope to sail again in the future and will certainly be contacting Sharon again!

September, 2019 - Whale, Gulf of Naples & AmalfiHi Sharon... The trip was amazing. The route and locations were absolutely beautiful. I had no idea they would all be so close together and that was so nice and unexpected ... I loved the route we took and the way we laid out our day to day. I felt like we didn't have to worry about a thing. The crew was absolutely amazing. Paulo, the captain, was incredibly cautious, professional and we all felt so safe with him at the helm. Stefano 's meals were some of the best food I have ever had. He is a very talented Chef and we loved having 5-star service without being in a fancy restaurant. Lillie was the kindest, sweetest, unobtrusive deck hand and we never had to want for anything. She kept our cabins in Tip Top shape and still managed to take care of our every need all day long. It was a trip of a lifetime, and I appreciate all that you did to put this together for us over the past year. You were a pleasure to work with and I appreciate your patience and hand-holding as we worked through the details. I always felt you were on top of every detail, and the communication was so great leading up to the trip. Many thanks, Sharon.

September, 2019 - G3, CroatiaSharon, they did a great job. The boat was in great shape and the staff could not have been better. The chef was excellent. The captain did fantastic job putting us in the best places. I was very satisfied the way we handled the APA. He did the best he could to minimize the cost, specifically where I over ordered the wine. Give him and the crew my best.

August, 2019 - CORSARIO, CroatiaHi Jeni, Firstly can I say our charter was a huge success. We have so many amazing memories and can't wait to start planning our next one. The yacht was perfect. It had everything we needed, was beautifully appointed and with ample space for all.
Our itinerary was truly breath-taking. We decided to leave the destinations to the captain and he did not disappoint once. He quickly learnt what we were about and accommodated beyond our expectations. We always had the best parking spot in a bay, best seat at the restaurant and sampled the best wines. The meals onboard were beautiful. The chef had a challenging job each day trying to please fussy children along with adults who wanted to sample local exquisite cuisine. He excelled.
The staff overall Jeni were phenomenal. They continuously went above and beyond to ensure we had the most memorable holiday. They were very personable, yet always professional, truly a delight to have around. The crew made our holiday what it was. All in all we had an amazing holiday. Thank you sincerely for your help in finding the right vessel and crew!
Sincerely

June, 2019 - World's EndI cannot express enough how amazing that charter was. Everything was fantastic! The boat is beautiful and so stable. Not one person felt any sickness at all! And the staff... they were simply the best. The food was incredible!!! Service was incredible!!! And the captain found us the perfect places to stop, swim, explore, sleep! I would highly recommend them without any hesitation!

June, 2019 - Blue n WhiteThe captain was great, the first mate, Yannis, was friendly, helpful, informative. and the chef/hostess/etc Dimitra was terrific. They all made us feel right at home, and managed to take care of all of our needs without feeling like we were all getting in each other's way in a small space. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were family and in fact, we took all three of them out to dinner on our last night (Captain's choice!). It was very special, and they couldn't have been better. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to have some family time, which we don't often get. The yacht was lovely; the staff was fantastic, and the islands we went to were wonderful.

May, 2019 - Foxy Lady, British Virgin IslandsHi Sharon, We had an unbelievable time aboard Foxy Lady. The crew was fantastic and contributed greatly to our experience.
Our sincere thanks for your help in ensuring we had a great trip. It truly exceeded our expectations.

May, 2019 - Bagheera, US Virgin IslandsWe had an amazing time! It was a first time charter for our friends and they can’t stop taking about it. Alex, Carla and Georgia were an absolute joy. The food was incredible! We would definitely do another charter with them.

January, 2019 - Something Wonderful, British Virgin IslandsHappy New Year Sharon! We have returned safely, but would much rather be back in the BVI’s :) The trip was amazing!! Our experience on Something Wonderful and Twin couldn’t have been better. The boats and crew worked so well together! Paul & Kerry took great care of us and coordinated everything with Nathan and Laura to make it all go seamlessly. It was such a special vacation! Thank you for all your help and recommendations. We hope to be able to do it again and will definitely be in touch when the time comes.

January, 2019 - Twin , British Virgin IslandsGood Morning!! We had the most amazing trip!! The Twin was a gorgeous boat, so nicely finished and spacious. We loved the layout of it so much. And more importantly we love loved Nathan, Laura and Jake!! They were so professional, hard working, kind. Laura cooked excellent food, what a treat that was! It truly was the trip of a lifetime with our dear friends.
And Something Wonderful was fantastic as well! We loved the crew of our second boat Something Wonderful Paul and Kerry!! Paul was so fantastic with the kids - would endlessly take them tubing and wakeboarding (Nathan too) - I think we liked the size of the main area of the Twin but the upper deck of SW was great. Kids spent lots of time on SW and adults tended to eat on the Twin for dinner.
Thank you so much for coordinating these 2 fantastic boats for us! It all worked out perfectly! We are missing them all and our special trip this week.

November, 2018 - Yes Dear, British Virgin IslandsHi Sharon, Our time aboard YES DEAR with Martin and Cari-Mari was fantastic!!! They are fun, engaging, and extremely hard working! The food was absolutely delicious, our rooms were cleaned and made up every day, and our every need/request was met with a smile. The itinerary was as good as we could’ve asked for considering the conditions of the islands and we hit all of the spots we wanted to see (Anegada, The Baths, Cooper Island, Norman Island, and Soggy Dollar), along with a couple new ones we had never visited. One of the day-trips that we absolutely fell in love with, and was a suggestion from Martin, was a visit to Oil Nut Bay resort for the day. I didn’t even know that place existed! We ate lunch at the resort, which gave us access to all of the resort’s amenities. If you’ve never been, the place is amazing.... All in all, we had a relaxing (yet fun-filled), and memorable time aboard YES DEAR with Martin & Cari-Mari. Please let me know if there are any questions and/or you need additional information. Thank you again for all your help, take care!

October, 2018 - Firefly, Spain, Balearic Islands (Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca)Radek , from all the cruise guests(including myself) - we would like to express our thanks both to you and to the crew of «Firefly». It was a pleasure to find everything in perfect order and to be treated with such friendliness and professionalism the whole week.

September, 2018 - MoyaDear Sharon, There are not enough superlatives to describe the experience cruising the Greek Islands with MOYA and her crew! We experienced 5 star dining at every meal, only whining and complaining like spoiled children when we had to eat ashore on two occasions while the crew washed the salt off the boat and gave it a thorough cleaning. Dafni, our wonderful hostess, kept the boat spotlessly clean. She set a lovely table and if we needed assistance with anything on board she was always ready to help and always with a sweet smile.
We are so grateful to you for having made all of this possible!
~BS
September, 2018 - RivieraRiviera is a perfect layout for charter. Salvatore, who is first mate and chef, is a fantastic chef. The meals, assuming you like incredible fresh fish and pasta, are as good as it gets. Professional serving from Teresa and Antonino and the group works together like a swiss watch. Antonino, the skipper, is extremely experienced and has local knowledge that is over the moon. Very friendly and their English is very good. The entire yacht is cleaned with beds made, etc. every day. The yacht is kept in tip top condition and has several areas to meet or be alone. The swim step really makes the yacht if you are an active group. I cannot say enough good things about this yacht and crew.
Thanks again,
~BB
September, 2018 - Project Steel, GreeceThe entire experience was fantastic! Captain John is experienced and professional. He even gave me a few tips on driving my own boat! Chef Myrto surpassed all our expectations and is a sweet and kind person. The stewardesses Olga and Elina (Katrina) were very helpful and pleasant without being intrusive and the first mate Pete as well as the steward John were competent and always smiling. The ship itself is impeccable and comfortable. I highly recommend to anyone who wants the trip of a lifetime!

August, 2018 - Carpe Diem 7, CroatiaGood morning Radek,
We spent a week on the Carpe Diem 7 sailing from Split to Dubrovnik from the 11th-18th of August.

The crew is incredibly nice and welcoming and very accommodating.
The captain always stays flexible with the route and we liked to be involved in the planning.
Everything is very clean and the boat is beautiful. It feels like time stands still and we wanted to thank you for this very special week.
Mateo the Chef cooks very well and we loved the food.
We felt at home and had a great time.
We definitely want to come back next year.
Thank you very much,
