Not once did we feel we were being an inconvenience to the crew when we asked for something. That included Captain Kyle getting snorkel gear, kayaks, floating sofas and paddle boards out for our enjoyment. He was great when we caught a fish while trolling in stopping the boat to help with the catch. He helped with an E-Foil rental, which was a lot of fun.

Jessica is an amazing chef providing great meals during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She was great about accommodating dietary preferences, but only for those requesting the preferences, which allowed the rest of our party to dine on her traditional dishes. While this required her to prepare the same meal a couple of different ways, she never seemed to mind the extra work. Full belly, happy heart...

We enjoyed the different ambiance the crew provided with a variety of place settings and decorations each dinner. We looked for to each dinner to see what the vibe would be from the decorations.

“Our chartered vacation was incredible. Jessica and Kyle were absolutely fantastic. From the small details to the new adventures every day, it could not have been a better experience. Ultra was a beautiful boat. Very well maintained, clean, and comfortable for everyone on the trip. The food was BEYOND our expectations! Jessica is an incredible chef. The food was exquisite, the presentation was beautiful, and every day the menu was completely different. Jessica was able to accommodate all of our dietary restrictions and made everyone feel special. Kyle, our Captain, went above and beyond to ensure we were having an amazing experience. Jessica was extremely attentive to our requests and was very knowledgeable.

Every aspect of the trip was planned out and there wasn’t a detail that was overlooked. It was my husband’s birthday, and they made sure it was a special and memorable one. I cannot speak highly enough about Kyle and Jessica. They are a great team.”

Jessica and Kyle, We had the most amazing experience for our first trip to BVI Your hospitality and attentiveness were top notch. We can’t thank you enough for everything you did from the well planned out, amazing meals to driving us around Anegada. You two are a great team! We hope to travel with you again. – Sue and Phil

This trip has been absolutely incredible! Everyday was something unique and special. Fred’s 60th birthday on Anegada was more that we could have hoped for! Our tour guide (Kyle) was outstanding and the lobster- WOW! The only complaint that I have (and you need to work on this) is that it went way to fast! If you could slow down time then it would be perfect! It truly was a very special week and we can’t thank Kyle and Jessica enough. They are an incredible team! – Kristy and Fred

This week was absolutely amazing@ We loved every minute. Jessica, God gave you a gift – your meals are truly 5 star! Kyle – you are an amazing captain – thanks for driving us all over the island Anegada! This vacation was the trip of our lives and so very memorable. We would love to see you another time in the future! You are always welcome on our boat at the Lake of the Ozarks! We felt like family every single day. Love, Colleen and Brian

Once in a lifetime family trip. You were able to make a very diverse group of people/kids extremely happy. Jessica – you are an amazing chef/1st mate/person. We are blessed to have crossed paths with you. You made my very picky daughter enjoy every meal. Kyle, thank you for taking my kids scuba diving and staying with them closely to make sure they were all safe, skiing, tubing, and driving this amazing large boat. Thank you for all the tiny details that made this trip amazing. We cannot wait for our next trip with you! – Jimmy Lalonde

It was an absolute pleasure having had y’all in charge of our boat this entire week! During this short period of time, I experienced some of the most exquisite cuisines, clearest bodies of water, most interesting islands, and the best water ski driver ever. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew! – James Lalonde

This was an absolute dream come TRUE and even better than our expectations!!! The food was incredible, the attention and incredible service you all provided plus Kyle’s command of this beautiful boat – you 2 are a special couple and will be part of 1 of our best family memories ever. Thank you for everything. – Elise

“Kyle and Jessica, WOW! WOW! WOW! Again! We absolutely loved the trip. From Privateer Bay (on Russel Island – Paul’s name) to Maho Bay, the entire trip was wonderful. Thank you for taking us snorkeling everywhere we went. That was the highlight. And the love with which Jessica cooks is amazing – and tasty. Best gluten free food we’ve ever had! Thank you, Jessica. We love spending time with the two of you too. Thanks for everything! – The Cunningham family

“Kyle & Jessica, you created an experience that will forever change the way we see the world. Opportunities like this – we so thought – were out of our reach until we found Ultra and you. Thank you for the amazing week! – Francisco & Nicole”

“K & J, from the food, the scenery, and the long cruises, you provided the best environment for laughter and fun. New experiences and new memories, you made our time in the BVIs amazing. Thank you for the best vacation week of our lives! – Dustin & Lisa”

“Jessica & Kyle, Thanks for the memories! It’s been a great week. I really appreciate you giving us a comfortable, safe, and super fun trip. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The boat in great shape. Thanks for all the behind the scenes efforts that keep things running smooth. WE did notice. Paul Harris, Family, and Friends”

“Jessica and Kyle, thank you all for the fun time! The food was delicious. The favorite snorkel place to me was in Christmas Island. Thank you guys for joining us on the party night. That was super fun and wonderful company. Definitely one of the best vacations. – Claudia”

Hey guys, let me start be saying what an amazing week it has been, all thanks to you guys, I really enjoyed getting to know you guys. Jessica, thank you for you delicious meals and attention to detail – always above and beyond. Kyle, thank you for all the adventure and fun you brought to this trip. MY favorite memory was probably Devil’s Bay although it was hard to choose a favorite. I hope you guys continue to make vacations for families unforgettable. – Letty

“Thank you for all you did to make sure we had a great time. My favorite place to visit was the Baths National Park. So beautiful! I love that you guys joined us at the party place, that was so fun! Food was great! I love how you put so much passions creating every single dish tasting delicious and looking beautiful. I enjoyed taking pictures of all of them. Love, Chela Sanchez”

“Dear Jessica and Kyle, thank you for this amazing experience. For Chela and I, this was a once in a lifetime trip. You guys are the best. We felt like we weren’t just another set of clients, but good friends. All the dishes were amazing and so were the excursions. The one that will stand out will be the party at Leverick Bay where Bill Gates was trying to pick up Jessica. Thank you for making this once in a lifetime trip something we will never forget. – Lupe Sanchez”

“Crew of Ultra, the last week has been amazing! Captain Kyle, thank you for the perfect mix of adventure and leisure. Jessica, you made my family feel right at home with your genuine hospitality. You guys are an amazing team! Keep on brightening people’s voyages. Safe sailing, David”

“Dear Jessica and Kyle, many thanks for an amazing week aboard ULTRA! The boat, the food, and the activities exceeded my expectations. You provided the perfect combination of recreation and relaxation. I will always remember the good times jumping off the boat, paddleboarding, snorkeling, exploring the Baths, and sunset cocktails at the Windmill Bar. Jessica, your skills in the kitchen are truly remarkable – it was such a treat to eat so well and feel so pampered. Kyle, thank you for keeping us safe and being so patient with our multiple trips to and from the beach. You’ve always got a place to stay in the Vail Valley if you come through Colorado. With gratitude, Shelia and Jim”

“Dearest Kyle and Jessica, How could we ever describe how amazing and dreamy this trip has been. You two are such a partnership! #couplegoals. My favorite meals were every meal, but especially the ceviche, key lime pie, raviolis, macarons, sous vide beef, and every breakfast. I loved playing Cards Against Humanity and going to dinner and sunset bar with you. I’m incredibly grateful to you two and Tony for this gift. Please keep in touch and if you are ever in Atlanta, look us up! – Lisa and Chris”

“Jessica & Kyle – Thank you so much for the amazing boat trip in the BVIs! Everything was top notch. The food was so delicious and prepared with love and perfection! Paul and I will always cherish the memories we made on this trip with great friends. The highlights for me were cruising from bay to bay, snorkeling, going ashore to cool bars, playing Cards Against Humanity, and the gorgeous sunsets. Captain Kyle, thanks so much for letting Paul help you and teaching him a few things about captaining a boat! Hopefully someday we will be cruising on our own boat! You guys are the best. Keep doing what you love and enjoy the moments! All the best, Cami and Paul”

“Jessica & Kyle – Thank you for a trip of a lifetime! You both made this perfect with your kindness, patience and your beautiful food and plentiful drink! Our excursions were like no other – your knowledge of the islands and the activities were so fun and educational. Our favorite activities were:
- cruising out to Jost Van Dyke Soggy Dollar – right up our alley and definitely the best painkiller!
- Hanging on the boat the first day – sunning, drinking, floating, and fishing.
- The Windmill– now our favorite spot on St. John, but Maho Beach and snorkeling with turtles was just insane!
- The Baths – phenomenal!
We absolutely loved the way you took such great care of us – from planning our route to activities to our delicious food. We are truly blessed to have met you and to have experienced a trip of a lifetime with you! Thanks for hanging out with us at dinner and happy hour sunset and playing games! You guys are the best! Love, Dawn and Mike”

To Jessica & Kyle, Thank you for the perfect vacation and celebrations! You are both the “ULTRA: hosts. We hope to see you again. Sincerely, June & Jim”

“Our first time in the BVIs and it could not have been more special! Thank you for all you have done for us and making this the best trip ever! Celebrating Jim and June’s anniversary, Jim’s birthday, and just being together as a family – all amazing! We can’t wait to do it again! – The Considine’s”

“Jessica & Kyle, Thank you for an amazing week! It was the perfect vacation filled with amazing food, great activities, and gorgeous scenery. Hope to get back with the full family soon! Best, Steph & Julia"

Hi! We just returned from a week, January 25 -2/1

It was a trip of a lifetime! We can not ‘brag’ enough about their expertise in their jobs.
Vince was an experienced captain & informative & entertaining.
Linda’s meals were always beautifully displayed and every, meal (or snack) was excellent.
Both are true professionals! They are a beautiful couple!
We were all, apprehensive, about a week on a boat, the boat ,the crew, food??
The boat & crew where truly beyond our expectations!
We would highly recommend the Ultra to anyone wanting a trip of a lifetime!
Terry and Cinda

Had a great trip cruising BVI on Ultra. Vince and Linda were outstanding in taking care of us. The boat had plenty of room and comfort for 6 of us. The food was excellent. Would definitely do this trip again on Ultra with Vince and Linda.

ULTRA is a great boat. Fast from place to place, great layout. Very stable at anchor (who knew a mast raised the center of gravity?). Flybridge is a definite plus - as are the wide open views and extra deck space of the power cat. After years of sailing cats, I’m a convert.

Vince is a fantastic captain and a good man. Very flexible, even keeled and always looking for ways to facilitate our good times - dinghy driving, drone flying, beach landing or whatever we needed, he was quick to anticipate. I enjoyed spending time with him. One of our guests broke her clavicle on Anegada and Vince was calm and cool as he zipped us over to Tortola, adjusted our route plan and made sure we barely missed a beat.

Linda’s meals were the best we’ve had on charter. Her menu has a ton of variety and each meal really fit the day and the time. We had a gluten free passenger - and Linda creatively adjusted each meal so there was no ‘drop off’. We had five under 22’s on our charter, plus a red-eye and four hour time change to kick things off, so getting everybody to the table in the morning was a bit of a challenge. Linda was super flexible (which we really appreciated) and made us all feel well taken care of. The evening sundowners added just the right touch each day.

Vince and Linda had a mate on board - Jordan - who was fun and added a nice twist to the group. What I didn’t appreciate beforehand was how much having a third person helps everything go smoothly (and gives Linda the time/space to work her magic). Given our group size, I wish we’d had a third set of hands on prior trips. In makes a difference.

What an amazing week! Boarding ULTRA for the first time was surreal. She is a beautiful, luxurious yacht, and we felt like royalty all week. There is so much room to spread out that the eight of us never felt confined. The cabins are roomy and comfortable and the salon was a cozy place for us to hang out and catch a couple of the World Cup games. We could not have asked for a better crew! They were "there" without being "there" while they worked, and joined us to play games, share music and laugh when we had some down time.

Vince is an experienced, competent captain, who made us feel instantly safe and secure in his abilities, knowledge of the area, and overall bad-assness. Linda's meals were so amazing that none of us could believe she hadn't gone to culinary school. The college kids bodies especially appreciated a week of wholesome, home-cooked meals! Kelsey is knowledgeable and fun, and all the kids fell a little bit in love with her. Vince, Linda and Kelsey ALL did an exemplary job of making us feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. They knew what we wanted and needed before we did!

~Jeff and family

"I polled our group that went on a charter vacation aboard catamaran ULTRA and they all said that they definitely would do it again!"
