Dear Anastasia. It was really fun helping you cook. I hope I was not in your way. I am so sad that the trip ended so quick. I wish I can do this again on the same boat. The trip was so fun I am going to miss you. From, Lainey (age 9)

Dear Brendon and Anastasia, 
Thank you so very much for an unbelievable experience. You have made our spring break unforgettable. The kids will cherish their memory of you and sailing for the rest of their lives. Thank you for putting up with the kids and I hope they didn’t turn you off from kids in general J We wish you luck on all your future endeavors. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. We will miss you both. Please let us know when you would like to visit Chicago! We would love to host you both!  Love Switzer family.

Brendon and Anastasia. Thank you both so much for making our week vacation amazing. You both are a great team together and you accommodated ALL our expectations. Brendon was very patient and his suggestions of where we should snorkel and dive along with his expertise on all of the islands was very impressive. He was very professional at all times and easy to get along with. Anastasia was very enthusiastic and positive and she was truly a delight. Her cooking was out of this world. Every meal that she prepared was a delicious surprise and the presentation was beautiful. We really felt pampered and special. Anastasia took us on some awesome adventures and she was truly a caring and fun person to be around. We will definitely recommend both Brendon and Anastasia to our family and friends and we look forward to keeping in touch with and having our next adventure with them!! Sincerely Bob, April, Jeff, Mel, David, and Melissa.

Thank you for making this experience and vacation AMAZING! You two have the coolest backgrounds and ambitions. I have learned so much about the BVI and sailing. It has been so fun learning from you. Our friends have all had a super, super nice time. Thank you for helping me make this dream vacation a reality-amazing fun and incredible!! Love Angie Nelson

You guys blew us away on this adventure! We came here not knowing what to expect and maybe even a little skeptical, but every single day and night were so memorable. Food was magnificent, the sailing was flawless. You made us feel very safe the entire time. You guys have a tremendous future in front of you and we cant wait to sail with you again. Love Corey and Roxanne.

Thank you for a wonderful adventure through the beautiful Caribbean. We really enjoyed our week on Pisces! You may not remember the Nelson party of 6 but this trip will be some of our most cherished memories. You two are a wonderful team. I wish you all the best! Thank you again for doing such a top notch job of showing us and teaching us about the BVI. We hope we can meet again in the future! Love Clarissa and Terry.

Wow and Wow! What a fantastic week we’ve have on Pisces. The tandem sail with Two If By Sea has been an amazing adventure. These 40 year old friends from now where Iowa have been so impressed by your stories, skills, and hospitality.  Brendon’s sailing skills are amazing and Anastasia your culinary delights and attention to detail is incredible. We thank you so much for showing us some of the best BVI has to offer. I loved the Baths, cane garden bay, and floating in my “happy” place. The B Line bar was also a great find! Thank you for taking fantastic care of every detail for us so we could relax and enjoy this beautiful place. Amazing experience! Love Matt Nelson.

New Years Week:
Anastasia and Brendan were fantastic! Just returned from a great week of exploring islands, lounging in the sun on a boat hammock, and eating delicious food. The crew was very knowledgeable and took my family and I to great snorkeling spots and tiny beach bars. The food was amazing- something for everyone and catered to our tastes. Would sail again in a minute!-Stradinger Family

You and Steve are such fun people with excellent professional skills that will last a lifetime!

Love and thanks,

What a great vacation!!!! From the moment we got on board to the moment we left it was spectacular!! Steve is such a great captain. He has a wonderful ability to combine relaxation and activity into the trip. We went to so many beautiful beach spots, but never felt rushed. We snorkeled, kayaked, SUP’d and had plenty of beach time, napping, and relaxing in the hammock. Steve has such an immense knowledge of the islands and seemed to have a sense of what we would love. Each day was better than the day before and we never felt it could get any better, but it did!

Louise is a wonderful chef!!! Every single meal, appetizer, snack was amazing!!!!! She clearly puts thought and effort into her meals and it really shows. Every last detail, down to the beautiful presentation was clearly considered. She takes pride in what she does and made us feel so pampered and cared for. Thank you!!!!

Steve and Louise are a great team. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the very beginning, throughout the entire trip. Even though we are all in close quarters, we always felt that we had our own space. Steve and Louise went out of their way to make us feel so welcome and did an amazing job of making this one of our most memorable vacations!!! We will be back to explore more of these beautiful islands. We also hope to send people your way. We would love for our friends to be able to experience something that will be forever etched into our memory as a time of relaxation, happiness and appreciation!

Thank you so much for everything!

Meg and Steve

Dear Steve and Louise,

    It has been a fantastic trip with both of you. You could not have made us feel more welcome. And, great weather to boot! Steve, your captain skills are excellent, as was your knowledge of each island and what to do (nor not to do!). And your sense of humor and even-keeled (pun not intended), laid back style ensured that no stress crept onto the boat the whole week.

    Louise, I plan to kidnap and adopt you. You have been an outstanding hostess and your meals have been a huge highlight of the trip. I am so glad you got to have a “girls’ day out” with Beth and me at Peter Island.

    Be assured, we will tell everyone we know about Pisces, and especially the two of you. Thank you so much for helping us have a wonderful, relaxing, memorable week!

Come see us!

--Beth and Leigh

Dear Captain Steve (aka. HAM) and Chef Louise,

Where do I even begin? Our family had the pleasure of sailing with you for 4 days and it was an incredible vacation. We’ve never experienced a trip like it and it’s definitely been my favorite! We all loved the delicious meals prepared by Louise, and all the hospitality! It was so relaxing and fun spending time and getting to know you. Preston and Natalie always travel with us and you made them feel at home and comfortable. The loved jumping off the boat, snorkeling the caves, and the fun beach volleyball game! Oh, and just sitting around sharing stories, playing songs and talking/learning about life on a charter yacht. We feel like we were a perfect match on this trip and are so thankful for all you both did to make it so wonderful! Please come visit us in St. Augustine! Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart!

What a week! Words and pictures will never do justice to the memories we will keep in our minds. Steve and Lou, we could not have picked a better crew. The food was amazing and your knowledge of the sea was unbelievable. Can’t wait to come back one day.

Cheers,

Sophie and David

Captain Steve and Chef Louise,

      Wow! Wow! WOW! Words can simply not explain the magical experience we spent with you guys. It has been our best vacation ever and we will cherish it forever.

     The food was out of this world! No wonder Louise wins awards for her food! We enjoyed everything. An explosion of taste in our mouth, as we like to say.

     Steve, your knowledge of the sea and so many other things was so appreciated. We really enjoyed all of your stories.

     We met a great couple and we really hope to welcome you guys in Canada. Not so much “paradise” but still we can make it worth it.

To good friends,

Manon and Cami

We don’t have the words to express our gratitude… The islands are one of the nicest places we’ve ever been… but discovering them with you guys made it even more special!! You are two wonderful people and we are now lucky to call you friends!! We really appreciated your knowledge for the sea and sailing. The food was awesome and being in your company was great. We are going to miss you guys!! Hopefully we will be back soon!

Steve,

Thank you so very much for a fantastic time! We enjoyed the sites, snorkeling, conversation and laughs! You did a great job on your first captain only charter! Next time we’ll request the “full treatment” and bring Louise along as well, so we can experience all that wonderful food it sounds like we missed.

Thank you again so very much!

Steve,

Thank you for everything. You are such an awesome captain to have. My parents were deciding between two boats and I am so glad they chose you! You totally bring another element to our vacation. You’re so outgoing and I’ve learned so much about sailing. The stops we made were awesome and so was the snorkeling. I’m going to miss this boat, especially jumping off the top! Can’t wait to come back and see you soon!

--Luke

Steve-O!

Thank you so much for an amazing week on Pisces! It was so cool to see all the sites and all the great laughs we had. I am so happy you were our captain because I definitely wouldn’t want an uptight grandpa as a captain. You did a great job! See you soon over spring break with my buddies and we can go to the Willy-T every night!

 HECK YA!

Dear Steve and Louise,

     What a privilege it has been to finally meet you and to spend this week getting to know you. You both are doing an incredible job of keeping the boat in great shape and you have no idea how much we appreciate that.

     Steve, you are a great captain and I sincerely appreciate all the work you went through to keep us entertained—hammock, SUP, kayak, drinks, snorkeling, etc. Your knowledge of the ocean and sea life is impressive!

     Louise, it was so nice to have a break from cooking and you did an outstanding job! I was very pleased and impressed. I’m glad we got to do some great seafood together and trade some recipes. Keep it up—you’re doing a great job in that little galley!

     Thanks for being so kind to Elvis and Gracie and I hope when we come back that they will get to meet Buggs. Can never have too many dogs on a boat!

     As you know, this was a trip that meant so much to us—a celebration of (new) life to Larry and you both made it perfect. To return to the boat with our closest friends and sail these waters that we love was just what the doctor ordered! We couldn’t be more proud of you two and the job you are doing than if you were our own kids! If I can make one suggestion, it’s that you NEVER LEAVE PISCES!

     Thanks so much for a wonderful week! Much Love!

Tammi and Larry

What a time we have had with Stephen and Louise aboard Pisces. I was impressed the day we boarded at the shape Pisces was in and continued to be impressed throughout the week. Stephen and his knowledge and respect for the sea and handling of Pisces. Louise, with her culinary skills and bubbly charm. You are great and it feels like we have added two more members to our family. You both knew how much this trip meant to me and you made it happen.

Love you both,

Larry

Hats off to Stephen and Louise for an outstanding vacation week on Pisces. Louise’s gourmet cooking was sumptuous and marvelously presented with Pennsylvania flair. Move over Rachel Ray! Captain Stephen proved to be both an excellent sailor and informative marine biologist. Thank you both.

Wonderful week aboard Pisces with our good friends, Tammi and Larry! Captain Stephen and Chef Louise made us feel so pampered and did a masterful job of crewing Pisces around this gorgeous corner of the world. Loved the snorkeling spots and Stephen’s extensive marine knowledge.

Thank you Steve and Louise for taking such good care of us—Louise—you did a great job feeding us delicious meals although I’m somewhat disappointed you never served Lebanon bologna (just kidding!). And thank you, Steve, for your attentiveness all week—never lacked for a Bushwhacker in hand! You two are adorable! Loved our week—so great to be back in the BVIs.

--Karen

Dear Steve and Louise,

             Although we’ve savored every moment of this trip, my heart is a little heavy as we depart St. John for our final snorkel trip and then on to St. Thomas and the plane to the cold, cold north. It’s not just the balmy weather and turquoise seas we’ll be missing; it’s the great new friends we’ve made in you both. We fully expect a visit….loads of room… and we’ll show you what sailing in Nanagansett Bay feels like. And we’ll have that grudge match of Hearts.

             Every day was an adventure, and every meal was a culinary event. I admire how effortlessly you took care of our whole family. We could not have asked for a more perfect vacation!

Captain Steve and Louise,

     Oh my GOD! What an incredible week, totally surpassing all of our expectations. The trip started with a spectacular rainbow, exciting snorkeling trips (Kyla will talk about the turtle for years to come), ski shots at the Willy-T (Donna still has tequila in her eyes), those massive fish caught on the way back from Anegada (the night time fishing was the best), and dancing the night away at Foxxy’s.

     You two were such fantastic hosts! Louise—as you could tell, your cooking was amaze-balls. Thanks so much for the desserts, Jenna and Donna will be forever grateful. The nighttime games were full of laugh—Cheers Governor and Guggenheim! We can’t thank you enough for the trip of a lifetime. As Jenna would say, you two are “Totes Adorbs!”

Love,

Scott, Donna, Kyla, Jocelyn and Jenna

P.S. You guys are SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!

Dear Cap’t Steve and Weezie :D,

We had an amazing week sailing with you! It was a week filled with sun, snorkeling and of course, great food and lots of laughs! We are so happy to call you both friends. Thank you for taking such good care of us – and not losing the girls.

             Please visit! We wholeheartedly mean that – anytime. If you find time before April, come to Vermont instead! Much love and great appreciation for a terrific vacation!

Love,

Michelle, Tim, Tierney and Maeve

Captain Steve and Louise,

     We had such an incredible time! We all loved sailing, scuba diving and the cool fish and coral! The food was amazing! No one will eat for a week when we get back.

     You guys were both such a pleasure. Both of you took great care of our girls and family and we really appreciate that.

     The venues you selected were perfect for the experiences we wanted. Some down time mixed with lots of activity! Overall we would say, “Perfect!” on rating our experience and will sail away again with you someday!

Love,

Lori, Bruce, Ashton, Kenzie and Sami

Weezie and SteveO, 
    WOW!!! What a trip we have had over this past week! This trip is by far the best we have been on in our 25 years of marriage. Ya'll were the main reason that it was so awesome. We enjoyed every one of the places that you took us to. We all had so much fun together. I know the music will be forever in all of our minds for a while to come. You both have touched our lives in a special way-- We will never forget you guys!!! (I know ya'll won't forget us either!) 

     Weezie-- the food was amazing!!! We could never thank ya'll enough for this awesome experience that we have had because of our wonderful cook and captain!!

     I really do hope that you two can come visit Georgia and let us take care of ya'll for a while!

     Thanks again for being so good to us! We feel like you're part of our family now. Thanks for all of the sailing lessons for LaDon and Bruce. I know for sure they had a ball learning from you. 

Love you both!

                                     ~ LaDon, Angie, Danica & Tyler, GA ~ June 2013~

Weezie and Steve, 

     Words could never properly explain the experience we have all had this week. In 18 years of marriage and traveling many places around the world the two of you have touched our hearts and lives in a very special way. We have all "Stroked it" over many a mile and "Stood up in it" when others wouldn't :) You two have welcomed us with open arms and treated us like one big "south Georgia family". We have learned as much from you that no classroom could ever provide. 

     During this trip we have seen sides of ourselves that we didn't know existed (or at least wanted to admit.) Thank you for showing us your HEAVEN and I hope we can return the favor when you visit Georgia!!!

     Again, Thank You for hosting us and making this trip amazing. WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

                                                                        ~ Bruce, Dana & Hughston, GA ~ June 2013 ~
 
 
What can we say – this is the ONLY way to see the islands!! 
       Getting to visit so many beautiful spots made it feel like several vacations in one!   
     The Pisces was incredibly comfortable for our 10 day stay and Robert swears that out on the water is still the best night’s sleep he has ever had! 
       It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience we are so thankful for!

                        ~  Robert & Ashley, Johnstown, CO  ~  April 2012   ~
                      

My experience on the Pisces was just marvelous! 

     The accommodations were spacious and well organized, the galley beautifully deecorated.      

     I truly enjoyed every single moment aboard and would highly recommend a stay aboard the Pisces to all who are searching for the Caribbean experience!

 

                                         ~ Lisa, Dayton, WY  ~  Feb 2012  ~




If your idea of a get-a-way is to sink your toes into soft white sand on a secluded beach, snorkel and swim in calm warm waters among spectacularly-colored tropical fish, sail the blue and aqua waters of the Caribbean while aboard a private catamaran with only your favorite friends or family, (not 3000 people waiting in line for an all-you-can-eat 'buffet') then this is the vacation for you!
   I am the first to admit I was a little anxious about the size of the boat, whether I would enjoy being out on the water in a 47 foot vessel and in such close proximity to the other guests, but I needn't have worried.  My husband and I went for a week's sail on Pisces in February, and loved it so much, we took our kids back in May to celebrate their accomplishments; graduations from college, grad school and medical school, and what a fantastic time we all had.  
     The ability to tailor the trip to your special interests makes this way of travel intimate and memorable: scuba diving in some of the clearest and warmest water on the planet, four-wheeling on Jost Van Dyke, shopping in charming little towns on St. John, sailing to Anagada for a lobster feast, hiking among the granite boulders of The Baths, to name just a few of the possibilities awaiting you in the BVI and USVI.
     The privilege of plying these special waters and taking in some of earth's most beautiful sights is perhaps the best gift of all.  We highly recommend this kind of vacation aboard Pisces!   
                   
                                                                    Dennis & Karen, Dayton, WY  ~  May 2011  ~    

                                                            
My wife Nicole and I went on Pisces in May of 2011 with her family to celebrate her graduating and receiving her master degree. 
     I should start this out with saying that I am not a water person, especially the ocean. I was very nervous that I would get sea sick and not have any fun. This was not the case as at all. 
     Larry and Tammi are two of the most entertaining people I have ever met, it was non-stop fun from the moment we got onto Pisces. 
     From the snorkeling to sightseeing and the AMAZING cooking, it is a trip I will never forget. 
     I unfortunately got strep throat the day before we left to the BVI, but it didn't hold me back, the trip was so much fun I didn't want to come home. This is a must for anyone that likes to have a good time with fun people. Cannot wait for round 2!
