Matt and Mel,
Wow! What an amazing week of outstanding food, service, beauty, fun, laughs, and friendship! You two kids are great! Thank you so much for all the memories. You both have really found your niche, best of luck to you both in the business and love, I'm sure you'll be successful in both. We'll miss you, and Mel, I'm totally spoiled with the amazing meals!
Love, Glenn and Susie Ruhl
Mel and Matt,
They say it's not the places you go, but the people you meet that are most remembered. I may not always remember the difference between Marina Cay and the Willy T, but I most certainly will remember that you both made the trip. Thank you again for the fantastic voyage!
Love, Kelly Jones
Mel and Matt,
Thank you so very much for our "Shapoff-Jones" sailing vacation. We appreciated that you related to our young contingent (Brian, Chris, Edward and Kelly) and to us parents so comfortably and pleasantly. Captain Matt chose a perfect itinerary enabling us to see many new sights as well as old favorites. Mel's meals were incredibly creative and delicious. We will have wonderful memories of this family trip due to YOUR efforts. Be assured that we will share stories of our experiences with both of you to our friends and family. We wish you both a beautiful and blessed life together in the coming years. Have a fabulous wedding and many wonderful years together sailing and loving! Fondly, Joanne and Ed Shapoff
Matt and Mel,
Thanks for the best vacation ever. This was a 30 year dream I had and it went beyond all expectations! Thanks, Liz Nordstrom
You're the best in the business. This was the best trip ever. I can't wait to come back! Duane Nordstrom
Matt and Mel,
You completely exceeded every expectation we had for this trip. We felt like we were on vacation with great friends, including the crew. You are like friends. The food was over the top and that comes from a fellow foodie. Thank you for all the advice on where to go to make this such an amazing trip. It included everything we would ever want in a vacation. We’ll be finding you again.
Cheers, Mel and Patti
Matt and Mel,
We thought after our last charter that we could not have a better time. Well…I was wrong. The weather, the islands and the people were amazing. But what made the difference was you. I can’t tell you how special you have made this adventure. We talk a lot about changing our lives, but we never do anything about it. You may have been the catalyst to do what our hearts truly yearn for. Thank you, Brian & Jessica 

Mel and Matt,
My first trip to the BVI. I can’t imagine doing it any other way. Words can’t describe this amazing experience. You all made me feel so comfortable right out of the gate. I am leaving the BVI with friends and COUNTLESS memories. You can count on seeing me again.

Matt and Mel,
Wow! The trip was incredible. Snorkeling was amazing, diving from the rock at the Bubbling Pool was awesome. Euchre game is awaiting in Bloomington any time, you’re always welcome!
See ya in the near future,
