Oh, I look forward to doing a sailing vacation of our anniversary
too. Thanks so much Sheila. You stood out above and beyond all
the other
brokers I communicated with.
-- Mark, Pennsylvania, March 2010
Thank
you very much for recommending Antillean. We are
delighted!
We feel fortunate to have found you and followed your recommendation.
-- AC, New York, January 2010
The
advice from yourselves was very helpful and accurate and enabled us to
arrange the charter at short notice. Being able to ring you was really
useful. You beat your competition because you responded quickly and I
was able to talk to you and get started on the planning. The others
took days longer to respond by e-mail. You provided your advice without
too much push, leaving me to make the decisions and I appreciated that.
-- RM, Australia, March 2009
This
is the 4th time we have chartered with Paradise Connections and
everything went smoothly. I would recommend you to anyone. I
am
sure we will be taking another sailing vacation sometime in the next 2
years.
-- A.H., Missouri (Contessa) New Years 2008/9,
Hi
Guys! Hard to believe it has been 2 months since our trip! We are all
still telling friends what a total blast it was. A totally unique
vacation experience! ... There are lots of choices available
to
be sure but we can't imagine having a better time! ... Thanks
for
all your help in planning the trip. The whole process was easy. All
we had to do was show up at the marina and the rest was taken care of.
How great! Thanks for everything!
-- S.W. (Marolanga) July 2008
I
would HIGHLY recommend going thru Paradise Connections for your
charter. Bob and Sheila are so helpful with getting you set
up
with the right boat that fits YOUR needs. We have gone thru
them
the last 6 years, and we will continue to go thru them as long as we
charter boats. They really keep you informed during the process of
finding that right boat, helping with the right crew, making sure you
know all the costs up front, places you want to go and making
sure it’s YOUR dream vacation and they are very easy to work
with. Even though I have never met them I consider them good
friends.. You will love working with them… I have no doubt in
my
mind that you will have a great Charter and the best vacation
ever. My level of service/satisfaction if I had to rate it is
on
a scale from 1-10 would be a 20!!!! Have fun.
-- D.K. July 2008
Dear Sheila & Bob,
Paradise
Connections was very professional throughout the process of booking our
vacation. All of our questions were answered in a timely
manner,
and everything was handled professionally. I do
thank you
for your services. Paradise Connections is an upstanding
company
that instilled us with the confidence to pull the trigger on our dream
vacation. The resulting vacation was fantastic.
-- P.P. (Storm Petrel) April 2008
We as a group were very satisfied and impressed with the
service you
and Bob provided. You were timely with all correspondence and
responsive to all our needs, right down to the trip cancellation
insurance. The wives felt very comfortable with the contact information
you provided - it was great. If we can save enough money to do this
again, we would use no one else except you and Bob. You guys were
GREAT! We would also use the Drumbeat crew and no one else!!
-- T.E., Liverpool, NY (Drumbeat) March 2008
... So all in all, a great trip - thanks for all
your help Bob & Sheila, in finding us the right charter!
-- Ben and Laura (Blu Moon) February 2008
After-charter report from the Captain of s/v Saskianna:
"When asked "So how do you guys know Bob & Shelia," they said
they'd found you guys online but it was after they'd corresponded with
several other brokers. They decided to book with you because they felt
you had your fingers on the pulse, so to speak. They didn't elaborate
on why they didn't use the brokers they contacted prior to you other
than to say they didn't feel comfortable with them."
-- M.C., Ireland (Saskianna) January 2008
Dear Sheila & Bob,
...Also, we would like to thank you for your services at Paradise
Connections. We had contacted several charter companies, but you seemed
genuinely interested in meeting our needs and communicating with us. We
are so glad you did!
-- W.L., West Bloomfield, MI (Marolanga)
Paradise
Connections did a great job of matching us with a correctly-sized boat
and working with our schedule. Bob and Sheila kept in touch regularly
and patiently explained the charter process. Follow-up questions were
promptly answered and they made sure we were well-informed.
-- J.B., Winterville, NC (Corus)
Your
services were great. Helping us find Irie and finding a week they were
available that fit our schedule was the best thing that ever happened!
Also, your help with pre- and post- charter details such as taxis,
hotels, etc. was excellent. Email communications were prompt and clear
– you made it very efficient for me to organize the trip.
--W.K. San Diego, CA
Excellent
in every way. Friendly and professional, providing a perfect match of
boat, captain, and crew. Thanks for all of your help in making this
unforgettable trip happen.
-- R.N. Charlottesville, VA (Graunya)
Thank you for your help setting up the vacation. We'll make
sure to recommend you and use you for our next cruise.
-- C.M. (Flying Ginny)
I would recommend Paradise Connections to anyone.
-- M.M., Locust Valley, NY (Hanalei Bay)
I
was very impressed by the speed, personal touches, accuracy, and
sincerity when communicating with Bob and Sheila of Paradise
Connections. I felt like I was dealing with a most competent and
trusted friend, yet we had never met.
-- J.E., Mantua, OH (Island Skipper)
It
has been a real pleasure doing business with you. You made every step
very easy and you were always there to provide the information I was
looking for.
-- T.R., Dallax, TX (Qwest)
I want to
thank you for working with me so closely to make this trip so special
to us. You have been wonderful, and you may of course use us as a
reference!
--J.T., Augusta, GA (Hanalei Bay)
How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections
?
= Excellent. We did not have to worry about a thing.
-- E.F., Santa Barbara, CA (Barge Scottish Highlander)
Response from questionnaire:
Are there any further comments or suggestions you would like to make to
enable Paradise Connections, the yacht, or crew to better serve you and
other clients in the future?
I personally feel there is not a need to and would not consider any
other agency than Paradise Connections for a future booking. I felt the
service was professional/prompt and I was likely a painful customer
with too many questions; you definitely earned my future business.
-- C.B., Acton, MA (Dream Catcher I)
Bob and Sheila,
Thanks for your help in chartering the Orion for our honeymoon. The
experience was better than we imagined. You were helpful in making the
arrangements and in working out the payment.... There is no end to the
nice things I can say about our vacation on the Orion. I would
recommend it to anyone for a honeymoon, or a romantic escape. Please
feel free to use my comments in recommending the Orion and Paradise
Connections to others.
-- E.S., Charlottesville, VA (Orion)
Dear Sheila & Bob,
...Additionally, as I've mentioned before, Paradise Connections was not
the only broker that we contacted when we were researching this
vacation. Paradise Connections was the only broker ( out of about four
or five contacted ) that knew the Virgin Islands, and the charter fleet
first hand. This is an incredible advantage to anyone considering a
charter, because Sheila & Bob know the crews, the yachts, and
which
charter boat to recommend based on the client's preferences. This
knowledge coupled with their immediate follow-up and attention to
detail simply means that there is not a reason to contact anyone else
if you need information regarding a charter in the Virgin Islands. I
wasted my time with other brokers that didn't know the area and weren't
interested in providing the level of service that Paradise Connections
provides, and I learned my lesson.
-- B.N., Richmond, VA (Island Skipper)
Bob and Sheila: You were a real pleasure to deal with. I make
most of
my decisions on things like this based on the kind of folks I am
working with. I felt from the beginning that I was getting a straight
story from you, and your follow-up was terrific. I'm sure I'll be
working with you again next year. Maybe we'll do a couple of days if
available so we can get out to the Baths... Thanks again for your
"truth in advertising".
-- rca (Flame - daysail)
Sheila,
Your services were terrific. The video, pictures and close contact were
all key to making this trip hassle free and go off without a hitch. We
appreciated all the initial preparation you put into our vacation. If
we decide on a future yacht trip we will keep you and Bob in mind.
-- The Greens
How
did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections ? We were
very pleased. Quick turn-around for questions. Friendly, courteous and
patient throughout the process.
-- C.B (Honiara)
How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections?
Your services were great in that you let us deal directly with Liz
regarding the details of the trip planning. Many travel agents won't
permit such direct communications
-- The Millets (Barge Emma)
The services offered by Paradise Connections were excellent:
very
responsive from the beginning; helped us find the best boat for the
best price, with the schedule flexibility that we required.
-- A.C., Dallas TX (Antares)
By
far this was one of the best vacations we ever went on. Paradise
Connections has been great and very helpful throughout the whole
process. I have forwarded your website to several people already who
would love to go on a similar vacation experience. Hopefully we will be
talking to you in the near future as we are definitely going on a
sailing adventure again
-- The Newtons (Blithe Spirit)
How
did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections ? My
communication was mainly through email with Sheila and she was "way
cool"! Helpful, informative, and always quick with her responses
-- The Hastings (Hanalei Bay)
I don't know how well you know Pat and Julie, but they were a
perfect
match for us. You had the right boat and crew at the right
time.
The financial transaction was well handled and I had no difficulty on
arrival.
-- W.S., Munich Germany (Antares)
How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections?
Excellent - they introduced us to our new friends!
-- K.C., Dallas TX
You are outstanding! We never could have found the boat
without your help.
-- P.D., Manahawkin NJ (Courvoisier)
You all were a pleasure to deal with, very helpful and
informative.
-- M.C., Brandon MS (Delphina)
Your web page deserves much praise, since that is the first
thing we
saw when researching yacht charters. Then we looked at others' web
pages and came back to yours. Also, Sheila was so quick to respond to
my frequent questions; that was very much appreciated! We're very glad
to have discovered the Delphina; we hope to visit her again! Yes, you
certainly may use us as a reference.
-- S.D., Albuquerque NM (Delphina)
That trip was "off-the-charts" awesome. It had
everything that we
were looking for in a holiday. You guys were great to work
with.
Thanks a bunch!
-- J.F., Moraga CA (Flame)
Your service was good, very easy and no problems. Thanks for
your help. Everyone had a great time.
-- R.W., Denver CO (Island Skipper)
You did an excellent job of handling this for us and may use
us as a
reference. Your web site is superior to almost all that I have seen.
-- S.C., Serverna Park MD (Rendezvous Cay)
Nothing beats seeing the Virgin Islands from aboard a
beautiful sailing
vessel. Please use us as a reference. We cannot say
enough
about the great quality of service we experienced from your company.
-- B.M., N. Myrtle Beach SC (Wall Street)
By the way Bob, I mentioned to you in my first call that I had
contacted other brokers, and I just wanted to let you know that none of
them were nearly as responsive as you and Sheila have been.
I'm
in sales, and I know the value of taking care of current and potential
customers and would like to thank you for your excellent service.
-- B.N., Richmond VA (Island Skipper)
Sheila and Bob, Thank you so much for you help. The boat looks
so
beautiful, I'm keeping a copy of the picture just to "dream". I sent an
e-mail greeting directly to the birthday boy. Again, thanks for your
extra effort on our behalf.
-- R.R., Los Angeles CA
We're still talking about how FABOO our last Virgin Island
adventure
was so it's time to plan something again this year only slightly
different.... I'm thinking of renting a Villa and having a yacht
docked outside to be at our disposal....
Working with
you chartering the Falcon was such a pleasant, no worries, no problem
experience I would love for you to assist us with the renting of the
Villa.
-- B.E., Paradise Valley AZ
Thank you again for another beautifully arranged week of fun
and God knows what.
-- B.E., Paradise Valley AZ
Paradise Connections was a good place to view the different
yachts
available and you were very helpful. We would definitely take another
yacht vacation in the future.
-- S.C., Salisbury, NC (Island Skipper)
