SVG Yachting Reviews 5

Very quick response from Katie for all of our detailed questions. LIR was great roomy vessel for our group of 8, never felt crowded even when we had to hunker down because of rain. Crew fantastic, meals fantastic . A very fun experience!

We have just completed a wonderful week of sailing in St Vincent and the Grenadines aboard the LIR. There is so much to share about the adventure. First and foremost, the crew was absolutely fantastic!
Our captain, Luc, was a seasoned professional who was clearly in command of the vessel but also always had time to interact with the guests on board. Everyday Luc would provide our group of 8 friends with different options for the day. In that way we could decide what we wanted to do, whether that included hiking to hidden waterfalls, snorkeling or scuba experiences, or water sports in a calm bay. Luc is also a great guitarist and singer and we enjoyed a lovely tropical drink and sang along as Luc played music under the moonlight.
Sophie was our amazing Chef onboard. It was truly remarkable that she could create such beautiful and varied meals aboard ship. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner we had aboard the LIR was gourmet quality!
And, as if this was not impressive enough, Sophie is also a scuba dive instructor and took members of our group on two dives.
Because of these varied, well honed skills Sophie is an irreplaceable member of the Crew.
Daniel was the first mate on board and Luc’s right hand man. It was clear that he was well on his way to being a Captain in
the near future. Additionally he was always available to assist in setting up water sports, transporting guests on the Tender, cleaning cabins and I have to mention he is also a great bartender!
So much talent.
The newest member of the crew is Justyna. The week we were aboard was her first week as a crew member. She was polite and helpful and seemed to work well with the Crew as she learned about her role and duties.
The LIR is a beautiful, spacious boat that was very well appointed. Many areas to relax and dine. The cabins were comfortable.
There was only one issue that my husband and I experienced during the week that created a problem. On the first night of our stay we had great difficulty sleeping due to very loud engine noise. We stayed in the rear cabin nearest to the generator and water maker. That first evening we pointed this out to Luc. He worked diligently to resolve the problem. It was obvious that the happiness of his guests was very important to Luc.
This rear cabin was always a bit louder than the other cabins due to its location near the generator. Perhaps if the boat has less than 4 couples this cabin would not be used.
Having said all this, our week on the LIR was fantastic as the boat was absolutely beautiful and the Crew was skilled, welcoming and top notch!

Katie was hugely knowledgeable about the yachting options for our charter. She gave honest advice and has personal experience of lots of the available options. It was our first time in the Grenadines and it was reassuring to know that we had someone who knew the best options, and what to avoid!

Thank you Katie! We will be back!

We had a joyous week. We sailed downwind from St. Vincent to Grenada, which we highly recommend. Our only complaint was that we wanted more time in each location, as well as more time to explore new locations. A week is not long enough!! Snorkeling with huge turtles and manta rays, stargazing from the trampoline on the bow, listening to the reggae music on shore, and swapping stories with our crew were some of our favorite moments. Our crew took the time to go ashore with us to show us great spots to eat and point out hikes. Timaiao 2 is a very comfortable boat - but it's not a luxury boat in that there isn't unlimited water or ice, which can be tricky with teenagers. But it was also a great lesson for our teens to be mindful with resources! We had an absolutely fabulous week and would highly recommend it to anyone adventurous. We will always cherish our happy memories in the Grenadines and look forward to returning some day.

SVG Yachting made all arrangements for us for a very successful takeover and charter of a Lagoon 42 cat from St Vincent to Grenada. They handled relationships with the charter company (RM Croisier of Martinique) with a minimum of fuss, finding a yacht for our dates, arranging the contract and payment. They supplied advice on places to visit during the cruise. SVG Yachting gives a very friendly and helpful service.
