| Testimonials:
"The food Ily prepared for us was
Top Notch! With all the time she spent in the galley, I don't know when
she found the time to tidy up the rest of the boat, but it was immaculate
at all times. We had 2 objectives for captain Nic - to teach Lori & Elizabeth
(age 16) enough sailing so that we can do a family bareboat charter next
time, and to find us the best possible places to snorkel. Needless to say,
both objectives were met with flying colors! In closing, I would just like
to add that Nic & Ily are a credit to The Moorings' staff and woould recommend
them and the Double Eagle III to anyone planning a crewed charter in Belize
in the future." - San Pedro, CA. |
| "Our
crew, Nic & Ily, are superb!! They take great personal pride in the yacht
and maintain her beautifully! And they are so great at taking care of guests
- food was delicious & beautifully presented!!" - Naperville, IL. |
If
unforeseen circumstances prevent the crew from hosting the charter, another competent
crew will substitute. |
