Thank you so much for making Chris’ 60th birthday celebration the best ever! You were so gracious and patient with our quirky and changing needs (and Chris’ constant questions!) Kristen, your cooking was absolutely amazing! Everything was soooo good and you met all of our varying needs without missing a beat!

Luke, you took care of all of our needs from sailing to all of the snorkeling and water activities and shuttling us back and forth. And there was always Diet Coke and ice. You both work very hard to make everything perfect and it was. You’ve helped us create memories that will last our lives.

Thank you so much for making this our trip of lifetime. Your hospitality and elegant meals were second to none. You both have made an imprint on our memories forever and we are very grateful for that. Again, thank you for everything you have done for us, and we truly hope to sail with you again!! Until we meet again… 

Kristen and Luke,
You two have been the highlight of this trip! Thank you for pouring your hearts into making every day memorable for us. This has been our dream trip become reality and we are so grateful to both of you for making it so special.

Though this is goodbye for us here in BVI for now, we very much look forward to taking care of both of you in NYC someday! We cannot wait to return to this paradise one day too. All the very best and much success to you both. We know you will go far in life!

Dear Kristen and Luke,
I want to start with WOW!!! What a phenomenal way to take care of us. I love everything that both of you do and how you do it. This has been a memorable experience for the ages. It was awesome to spend time with both of you and learning so much just by watching you in action, and I wanted to thank you for answering all of my questions. We were very lucky to have such a great crew. Millions of thank yous to both of you. With love and appreciation.

Dear Kristen and Luke,
Thank you again and again for taking such good care of us this week. Having you with us made this trip memorable for all the best reasons! I have to say that the first thing that comes to my mind is the food! And I think this will be the one thing I will remember always! We could taste the love and care that Kristen put into every meal she cooked for us. You two make such a great team and we wish you all the best.

Kristen and Luke,
Impossible to know where to begin. Is it the fabulous morning swims? Is it the exquisite meals, beautiful to see and incomparable to taste? The ice management? The creative cocktails? The sense of being well cared for? The spectacular scenery? The sublime sunsets? The synergy of your teamwork, (inspiring!) the thorough local knowledge? What we have here is… BEST VACATION EVER! We came as guests, we leave as family.

Dear Kristen and Luke,
On behalf of the Measured Debauchery team that sailed with you in the BVI on the Azuria 2/25-3/4/2023, I want to express again our heartfelt thanks for making our sail with you the trip of a lifetime for all of us. You took great care of us and made sure that all of our needs were met while on board. From the great itinerary mapped out by Captain Luke to the 5 star meals prepared for Kristen, this trip exceeded all of our expectations. The food that Kristen prepared for us at each meal and happy hour was some of the best any of us have ever had and Luke’s special cocktails were amazing!

You kept the ship in amazing shape while on board and even cleaned our rooms every day, which we were not expecting. All of the cabins were in great shape and were very comfortable. You made sure that everything was well-stocked on board, from the food and snacks to alcohol and drinks.

We were so impressed by your knowledge of the area and local cuisine which Kristen helped prepare for us each day. You paid great attention to our preferences expressed in advance of the trip and even had a great birthday celebration for one of our group that will be hard to beat. Your fun, kindness and hospitality were amazing and we feel like we all have made two great friends in the BVIs.

We were all able to relax and enjoy the ride because you made our trip a truly luxury experience we will never forget. We would highly recommend a trip on the Azuria with Captain Luke and First Mate Kristen to anyone we know. Any other trips we take will be compared to this one and will be difficult to surpass. Maybe we will just sail with you every year!

Sincerely,
Jackie and Steve

We went to spend a quality family vacation, just the 5 of us. The trip met everyone one of our expectations. From the boat, to the sites, to the crew, and the food – nothing fell short of exceptional. Kristen and Luke consistently went above and beyond to meet our every need and even to anticipate needs we did not know we had (i.e., cocktails at 3pm? Run over to Willie T’s at 9pm?). It was a bucket list vacation and the memories we have will last a life time.

Words are not enough to express our gratitude for such a wonderful week and first trip to the BVI. This trip definitely exceeded my expectations and will be the first of many more to come. Kristen your food was amazing at every meal! You are very talented and I’m happy we were here to experience your talents. Luke did a remarkable job of keeping us in good weather, great spot selections and our coolers stocked. We look forward to sailing with the both of you again.

BEST TRIP EVER! As global travelers we thought we had experienced it all. But, after spending a week with Luke and Kristen on Azuria, it changed us forever. Kristen’s culinary skills are on another level. Every bite kept us craving more. She built a menu around our dietary restrictions that couldn’t have been better planned. Luke’s captain skills, decision making and emphasis on safety had us all way more comfortable that we ever thought we would be. His knowledge of the islands is astounding. His humor is contagious. They couldn’t be a better team. The way they work is so fluid and smooth. We were always taken care of and felt so welcomed and connected with them. Their kindness and desire to make this trip the most amazing ever was felt throughout.

Azuria was gorgeous! Meticulously clean. Comfortable cabins and all the toys we ever wanted. The fly bridge was awesome to sit there, listen to music and stare off into the horizon. Just amazing! We will never forget this and look forward to doing it again. Thank you for everything!
