Sail the Caribbean

April 2024 

 

If it was possible to bottle up Memories, Makin' Memories could sell them and never work again. From sunrise to sunset, this trip was so special for our family. Every meal, every snorkel, every dinghy ride, and every “Bush wagon” [specialty family cocktail 😉]. Thank you for allowing us to experience your wonderful home. We are so grateful and will never forget this week!

I knew it from the time I saw the name Makin’ Memories - that’s exactly what we did!  We made memories. At the end of the line, that’s the most important thing we leave behind, memories! The memories that we made on this trip were beyond anything that I could’ve ever imagined. Courtney (and Jim) thank you for making this trip memory filled! I will never forget you and the memories that you made possible for me and my family. We will miss you guys!

Thank you 1000 times for the best trip ever! We definitely will be back if you will have us all! The boat, the food, the water, fun, the drinks, your knowledge, the views, the hikes, the vibes, the teamwork and service was five stars! Only way to travel is on Makin' Memories! Thank you for the great adventure!

Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! From the food, service, water, fun, views, attention to detail, drinks, and professionalism, everything was 5+ stars. Makin' Memories is the only way to travel. Can’t wait for our next charter with Courtney and Jim!

From the sunny and beautiful Geneva, Florida, to the sunnier and more beautiful USVI. What an amazing way to spend our 30th anniversary! From the Dinghy pick up all the way through our last day we felt amazing hospitality with spectacular food with island flare, and beautiful presentation. My favorite parts of the trip were swimming with turtles, a great on-boat workout Sunday morning with a stunning view, and watching the sunset from the sugar mill overlooking Waterlemon Bay. My wife’s favorite parts were the private beach and snorkeling across from Turtle Bay Beach (Henley Cay), and the delicious dishes every day. Thank you both Jim and Courtney for giving us a trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Hope to see you again somewhere in the Caribbean!

Make Memories fulfilled its name! 

We were thrilled with:

  1. The crew: Jim and Courtney are amazing!  We had a three generation group and they went above and beyond to make us all comfortable. They are knowledgeable about the area and took us to amazing locations. Courtney’s cooking with Jim’s assist is beyond incredible. Each meal was presented with beauty, and most importantly, fantastic taste. They really made this an extra special vacation.

  2. The Boat:  We love the outdoor space. Several places to hang out in both shade and sun. And the water toys were so fun. We really enjoyed relaxing on the float, playing with the SubLue, paddle boarding, and hotdogging behind the Dinghy. The cabins are comfortable, especially the mattresses. Courtney (and Jim) thought of every amenity for our stay.

  3. The USVI:  location after location of great snorkeling, smooth white sandy beaches, clear clean blue/green water, and beautiful hills and mountains. Each location was more beautiful than the next. 

Truly an amazing vacation!

We had the most epic spring break!  I never could imagine how beautiful this trip would be or all the amazing memories we could make. Makin’ memories is a perfect name. Thank you Courtney for all the amazing dishes. Five stars for sure! Words can’t explain the amount of fun we had. We recommend this trip to anyone who wants to completely relax, and also also have the time of your life. Thank you Jim and Courtney for the best trip yet!!!

This trip was always a top 10 vacation idea for our family. Words can’t describe how this turned into our favorite family vacation ever! It was the most relaxing, beautiful, and just fun week. At just the right time! We all needed it! Jim and Courtney - you are such great hosts /captains/chefs/activity directors/etc….. thanks for all you do!  Just awesome people! We will be back!

December - January 2023-2024

 

How can we ever thank you for the best trip ever! Personally, I have never felt this relaxed and cared for on any vacation! Courtney, the delicious meals you prepare were above our expectations and made us all feel so healthy and satisfied. I’m leaving with some of your recipes for sure. I doubt they will be as good as yours, but I will try. Jim, you were the captain of fun! We had a ball on the boat toys and off-island adventures. You both thought of every detail before we could have imagined. I cannot say enough about your beautiful boat either. No question it was the prettiest out there. Thank you both SO SO much for the vacation of my dreams. I truly appreciate everything you did for my family on this trip, and I am happy to have made two new friends! You two are the best!!!

November - December 2023

 

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. You have made this vacation so special for me. The beautiful sites were amazing. Courtney, your wonderful meals were absolutely amazing. And Jim, all the work you did getting the toys ready and always being there for us - especially with the hotdog toy!  Everything was six stars!  We made super memories on this trip!

Wow! There’s so much to say, you guys are truly amazing. Thank you for allowing us to spend a week on your incredible adventure. This has been a once in a lifetime trip that we will always remember. Thanks for all the good times!

What a wonderful trip. Couldn’t ask for anything better. We are blessed to spend this week with great friends and very happy about the new friends we met with you two. We had so much fun and ate like royalty. Thank you so much for all the hard work and great company.

November 2023

 

There aren’t enough words or time to say how much we appreciate the two of you in the special memories we will cherish for years to come.

Makin’ Memories is an understatement. What a trip of a lifetime with great friends and making two new friends. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. Your service and food is above five stars. The memories made here will be with us for a lifetime.

What a fantastic trip! The food was amazing! You guys are terrific hosts, who went above and beyond in all aspects. Every day was memorable, but the second to last day was the cherry on top. On that day, we caught the mahi-mahi and within a couple of hours you guys had cleaned it and served fresh ceviche for an appetizer, and then an unbelievable fillet. Top-notch food and service to make that happen. The locations you guys picked were all great, and the snorkeling was out of this world. Thank you guys for the unforgettable trip, being amazing hosts, and all the memories that were made these last six days.

Thank you for this amazing week we will never forget. Loved the boat, the community, and the off-the-beaten-path adventures. We could not have asked for more. We hope to be back very soon!

This was an amazing experience, especially for a couple like us that hasn’t done a whole lot of water adventures. The sites were well picked and all food selections were very considerate and well thought out. We appreciate everything!

Thank you so much for helping us create the most amazing memories on the most amazing trip! I cannot think of a single time our family got along so well, and you are both to thank for that. The meals, the sites, and the laughs were all dream-worthy. I am so grateful to you both for taking such good care of us, and for your unfailing kindness and generosity. I’m looking forward to more memories soon!

I expected to have a great time, I expected gorgeous blue water, and I expected to enjoy being taken care of.  What I did not expect was to meet two incredible people who put their heart and soul into every single part of the experience. Courtney, the food was beautiful, scrumptious, and healthy. You are a master chef. I so much appreciate the thought and care that went into every meal.  Jim - I dub the “possibility man“!  Every toy that got used, every drink that got drunk, every jump that got jumped - you suggested what was possible, and we knew that taking these suggestions would lead to nothing but a great time. You both worked behind the scenes to keep everything on track, and all we had to do was "Be". You executed every expectation and met hopes we didn’t even know we had. Best trip ever!!!

“What a fantastic way to celebrate Christmas through New Year’s!!  Captain Jim and Courtney thought of everything and left us longing to come back for more.  “Makin’ Memories” held up to her name as we ventured, snorkeled, sailed and scuba dove.  Courtney (a certified Culinary Nutritionist) provided endless meals, each one packed with variety, color and flavor.  No one in our party is going home hungry.  Captain Jim at the helm navigated us from location to location providing us with breathtaking views of the island while giving us plenty of time to relax and explore.  We’re looking forward to coming back in the future!”
