Reviews
Never mind the beauty of the sea scenes as we cruised Biscayne Bay. The beauty of the trip and most memorable to all of us was the level of service constantly provided by the Fortitude team - from waking in the morning to the last “goodnight” in the evening. Every need and desire seemed to be anticipated by this unique group of individuals. Where do we begin with mentioning all these new friends we made aboard. Captain Murph, Chris, Joel, Eduardo always coming to our assistance; Alexandra with her capable and endearing team of Amy and Maria, always it seemed, there to meet our every need!
Our overall sense is that everything was always anticipated - e.g. a strong hand to help you on and off the yacht, the serving of your favorite drink, no one ever too busy to engage with you. And none of us will ever forget the incredible and imaginative meals served over and over in high style, reflective of the gourmet cuisine prepared meal after meal by Chef Dario who deserves as many Michelin stars as they award - and it was always such a pleasure to see the kind, smiling face of Dario as he looked upon his appreciative audience!
We can’t believe it’s common to complete a yacht voyage with the feeling that you have made so many new friends that you will look forward to seeing again.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t say that this degree of service and loving attention did start at the top with skipper Murph Who mixed freely with us day after day exchanging stories and letting us know what the daily schedule of events on the yacht held in store. We are forever thankful to him and his gracious manner.
