Incredible Family Vacation on Catamaran Iara in the BVI.

"Spending a week on the Iara was everything that we had hoped it would be and more. The boat had comfortable space for our family of five adults and we thoroughly enjoyed all the water activities, but the best part of Iara is her crew.

We can’t say enough good things about Paul and Lexy! Their attention to detail and genuinely fun vibe put us completely at ease from day one. As first-time charter guests and first-time visitors to the Virgin Islands, we couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Paul and Lexy truly set the bar high.

Paul’s skill as a captain and patience answering our questions made the sailing a memorable and exciting part of the trip, while Lexy’s incredible meals will be talked about — and (attempted to be) recreated in our own kitchen — for years to come. They worked tirelessly to provide us with a great experience.

As a team, they’re thoughtful, kind and an absolute joy to spend time with. The itinerary was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, with plenty of time to explore the islands, swim, snorkel, and simply float in the crystal-clear water.

We haven’t stopped talking about this vacation — I keep calling it the trip of a lifetime, and it honestly was. Yet even as I reflect on how incredible it was, I’m already looking forward to seeing Iara’s itinerary for next year, hoping we’ll have the chance to sail with Paul and Lexy again!

Thank you for a 5-Star vacation. Highest recommendation for the Iara with Paul and Lexy."
