Testimonials

My wife and I are on our last day of a seven day cruise through the Moorings with our crew Richard and Shannon Hallet on a 48 foot Catamaran Out of the Box. It has been an absolutely wonderful trip in every way. Physically the boat is comfortable with many nooks and crannies to get comfortable, read a book, suntan. The BVI is heaven on earth with beautiful waters. Richard is funny and knowledgeable about sailing and the island places were explored. Shannon is gracious, a wonderful cook and both went out if their way to please and take care of us at every turn. We had a terrific time and so will you!
