Charter Reviews
It was my husband and my 3rd BVI charter and our friends' first and the crew went above and beyond to show our friends the must see spots and to find new ones we had never been too!
Captain Nic was a master at getting us the best mooring balls at popular spots (like the Baths) before it got busy, taking us to the BEST snorkeling spots and also incorporating all our wishes into the schedule! He hit it out of the park day after day!!
Chef Vaughn presented one fabulous meal after another, and really nailed it with what we liked and the amount of food to serve (which is a skill!). Captain Nic jumped in several nights to cook and use the onboard grill. We had never had a Captain who also loved to cook! What a great team!!
In addition, Nic and Vaughn were fun and energetic ALL week and really cared about us having a trip of a lifetime. Whether we were swimming, fishing, playing cards, going ashore, or just hanging out talking over fabulous drinks, we thoroughly enjoyed their company. They are both kind and generous and made us feel at home. At the end of the week we felt sad to leave our good friends behind, but hope to book another amazing trip with them!!!
Karaoke night was a highlight (not sure what the surrounding catamarans thought - they were probably jealous). Highly recommend this boat and crew.
As a small family of four, we were looking for something very specific: quiet, peaceful, and luxurious, and Hazel Della delivered that perfectly. From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt effortless in the best way. Every detail was clearly thought through, but nothing ever felt overdone.
The itinerary was spot on, with the perfect mix of sailing, unreal swim spots, tucked away anchorages, and those golden hour moments you wish you could pause.
And somehow it all felt both adventurous and completely safe at the same time. Captain Nicholas runs a tight ship, and you always knew you were in the best hands without it ever feeling restrictive.
But the real difference was the people.
Captain Nicholas and Chef Vaughn are truly exceptional. Captain Nicholas is not only calm, confident, and completely dialed in, but he also brings a bigger than life personality that made the entire experience even more memorable. He was incredibly engaging with our younger son, taking the time to play with him and make him feel included in a way that meant a lot to our family. That balance of professionalism and genuine warmth is rare, and he does it effortlessly.
And Chef Vaughn was something really special. Beyond being incredibly talented in the kitchen, he is kind, warm, and genuinely compassionate in a way that you feel right away. Every meal felt thoughtful and intentional, not just delicious but memorable. He somehow made each dish feel personal, and the quality and creativity of the food exceeded anything we expected. It is rare to find someone who combines that level of skill with such a sincere and caring presence.
We were celebrating Easter on board, and he made it feel incredibly special with thoughtful touches throughout, amazing meals, little surprises, and details that showed he was truly paying attention.
By the end of the trip, it did not feel like we were leaving a charter. It felt like we were leaving friends.
If you are even considering booking, do it. Seriously.
The itinerary was nothing short of inspired - a seamless blend of exhilarating sailing, hidden anchorages, snorkeling spots we never would have found on our own, and perfectly timed sunsets that made every evening feel like its own celebration. Safety was clearly a priority woven into every decision, yet it never once got in the way of the adventure. We always felt in capable, confident hands with Captain Nicholas.
Words genuinely fall short. What sets this charter apart — what makes it truly exceptional — is the crew. Captain Nicholas and Chef Vaughn are professionals in the truest sense: skilled, attentive, and warm in a way that feels
rare.
We were celebrating a milestone anniversary and birthdays on this trip, and the crew went so far above and beyond to honor both occasions that we were genuinely moved. Chef Vaughn's thoughtful touches appeared throughout - festive decor, delicious food and drinks that materialized seemingly from nowhere, toasts that felt personal because they were personal. They paid attention to us and they cared.
We came as guests and left as family. Book this crew - you will not regret it.
Chef Vaughn made every meal memorable, serving many of our favorites and a few specialties. His afternoon Charcuterie boards were fantastic. He managed our dietary requirements quite well.
Captain always accompanied us ashore to guide us to the best locations and scheduled all our reservations for dinners and taxis.
We’re already looking forward to our next cruise.
First off, Captain Graham navigated the seas with such confidence and skill. His deep knowledge of the islands paired with his easygoing personality made every stop feel like a perfectly curated adventure.
And then there’s Sulet, the chef extraordinaire. I’m convinced she’s a magician because every meal she prepared was nothing short of phenomenal. From fresh seafood to decadent desserts, each dish was a masterpiece, leaving us marveling at how it was even possible to create such culinary magic in a yacht kitchen.
The trip was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. One moment we’d be lounging on deck, sipping cocktails and pretending to be in a travel magazine, and the next we’d be snorkeling, exploring secluded beaches, or laughing with Graham and Sulet over dinner. They struck a flawless balance between being friendly and knowing when to give us space, which made our time onboard even more enjoyable.
And let’s talk about the vibe: think luxury without the pretension, like being spoiled by friends who just happen to be really, really good at hosting (and captaining and cooking).
If you’re considering booking a trip on Hazel Della, just do it. Trust me, you’ll come back with full hearts, happy taste buds, and a newfound respect for the art of living well. Graham and Sulet, thank you for the memories, the laughs, and for temporarily spoiling us so much that doing the dishes at home now feels like a personal insult.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the stars!
As a self-proclaimed foodie who’s notoriously hard to impress, I can honestly say the food was spectacular. Every meal was thoughtful, fresh, and delicious. Graham even took the time to teach me how to sail, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip.
We came aboard expecting a great trip, but we left with something more: a new perspective on life and two new friends. Graham and Sulet made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. If you’re lucky enough to find availability on the Hazel Della, book it—you won’t regret it.
There was never a dull moment as we were transported each day to breathtaking coves, beaches and safe harbors. Daily snorkeling was lovely and our scuba dives were filled with abundant sea life, including turtles, lobsters, rays, beautiful corals and reef fish. We also enjoyed fishing, paddling kayaks and paddle boards, and exploring special cays. There was plenty of time to soak in the peace of sailing, read a book and p
Sulet and Graham are the perfect crew. Sulet is not only incredibly kind and welcoming, but also an amazing cook. Every meal she served was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared—she made dining onboard feel like a fine restaurant, only with better views!
Graham is an outstanding captain—experienced, calm, and always thinking one step ahead. He took us to stunning, remote locations far from Nassau, where we saw turtles, an eagle ray, and many types of sharks. His diving and snorkelling skills meant we explored magical underwater spots we’d never have found on our own.
Their flexibility, openness, and local knowledge made the trip even more special. Sulet and Graham are truly lovely people—easy to talk to, good-humoured, and a joy to be around. Even with a baby onboard, everything went smoothly, and they ensured everyone felt comfortable and included.
We can highly recommend this catamaran charter—it was a dream holiday, and we hope to return again in the future!
We were enamored by the attention to detail, the kindness, the service of the crew towards their guests. They were always there to serve and even teach the basics of sailing and boat life. When asked, they would share their adventures in previous roles, multiple countries, motorcycle and hiking, overlanding and camping. This previous experience, and the “heart of an adventurer” they possess seems to have prepared them for this current place in life which they excel at. They made us feel like family, and we would certainly accept them into ours!
The food was yet another experience. Coffee available as we awoke, the chef made 3 special meals a day for us, each better than the last in some way. Fruit, veggies, and salad always part of every meal. Although I admit the seared Tuna was my favorite of the week, and Keylime Pie was expcetional as well.
There were multiple stops per day to enjoy a favorite snorkel spot, or dive at a cave. The captain was nearby to keep the guests safe and to offer encouragement for the best adventure. We took the tender boat through a secluded mangrove river where the young passengers paddled SUP in turtle rich waters.
We even had impromptu singing and karaoke in the evenings before bedtime. And one evening, some guests petted a gentle lemon shark hanging around the boat wanting attention.
Such fun, such luxury, such adventure is available on the Hazel Della.
Captain Graham organized a lot of activities for us, scuba dive, snorkeling with sea scooters, paddle boarding, swimming, hangout at the beach, hiking, and a magical surprise sunset experience that we will never forget! And in the evenings, he taught us some fun games (Forkle andTravatte) we became addicted to!
And we did a ton of eating outstanding food made by Sulet! Which is something we enjoyed thoroughly and looking forward to every meal! We are so impressed by her creativity and thoughtfulness in every single dish!
The diving spots are diverse and beautiful, each place has a unique underwater landscape. The island hopping are fun and gives great views of the ocean. We loved diving with the sharks in the Compass Cay, and an unforgettable sunset at the lobster Bay, the pig beach was unusual, and the Sandy Cay's little island has pretty Palm trees and the most accessible snorkeling with a million fan coral. 🪭 🪸
Our family of four including two teenage boys loved every single day of this Christmas and New Year trip in the Bahamas! Thank you!
The Hobbit started with the song, "The greatest adventure is yet to be found," and if you're seeking an unforgettable journey, look no further than a trip aboard the Hazel Dela with Captain Graham and Chef Suelet in the breathtaking Exumas. From the moment we set sail, it was clear that this was going to be an experience of a lifetime.
Captain Graham is not just a skilled navigator but also an exceptional host, whose passion for the ocean and the islands shines through in every interaction. He expertly guided us through the stunning waters, sharing fascinating stories about the Exumas, ensuring our safety, and always making us feel at home aboard the Hazel Dela. His enthusiasm for adventure is infectious, and his local knowledge made every stop feel special and unique.
Chef Suelet is nothing short of a culinary wizard. Each meal was a delightful surprise, showcasing her incredible talent and creativity. From fresh seafood to mouthwatering tropical fruits, every dish was prepared with love and attention to detail. We eagerly anticipated meal times, knowing we'd be treated to an exquisite feast that would perfectly complement our day of adventure.
Speaking of adventure, the activities we enjoyed were nothing short of spectacular. Snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters was like stepping into a vibrant underwater paradise, teeming with colorful fish and stunning coral formations. Swimming at the Sea Aquarium was an absolute highlight, where we frolicked in the warm, inviting waters surrounded by playful creatures that seemed to welcome us into their world.
We had the opportunity to swim into Dudas Caves as well in the Bahamas, and it was an experience I will never forget. As we approached the cave, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation mixed with a little bit of trepidation. However, Captain Graham, with his warm enthusiasm and expert guidance, made the entire adventure feel both exciting and safe. Upon entering the cave, I was immediately struck by the breathtaking beauty surrounding me. Sunlight streamed through a hole in the ceiling, casting a stunning array of light that made the water glow a mesmerizing shade of blue. It felt like stepping into another world—one filled with magic and wonder.
Diving around Pablo Escobar’s plane was another exhilarating experience, offering a thrilling glimpse into history as we explored the wreck. The bluest and clearest water we’ve ever seen enveloped us, making every underwater moment a mesmerizing sight to behold.
Every day aboard the Hazel Dela was a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with the stunning backdrop of the Exumas enhancing every experience. The camaraderie among our group, fostered by Graham’s warm demeanor and Suelet’s culinary delights, created lasting memories that we will cherish forever.
If you’re looking for the ultimate adventure in paradise, do yourself a favor and book a trip with Captain Graham and Chef Suelet on the Hazel Dela. The combination of breathtaking scenery, exhilarating activities, and mouthwatering meals guarantees that the greatest adventure is not just yet to be found; it’s right here waiting for you!
The captain was friendly and full of sea stories. Also, extremely knowledgeable and patient. He conducted a refresher scuba class for us and took us snorkeling and diving. Jeremy is also a connoisseur of excellent coffee, which was ready every morning by 7AM
The Chef (Kiley) was an excellent cook and master of presentation, She prepared three meals a day with placemats and sometimes cocktails. (Her Lemon Drops are killer. ). The best Cheese Cake I have ever had. We went out to dinner one night at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club and (even thought it was excellent), it was not as good as Kiley's cooking on the boat.
We spent several Days Snorkeling and Diving. If you get a chance, snorkel into Thunderball Grotto and go feed the Swimming Pigs.
