We had an absolutely fantastic experience aboard the Barefoot Bliss, thanks in large part to our captain, Cam. He was fun, knowledgeable, and put together an incredible itinerary that allowed us to see so much of the BVI in a short time. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt completely at ease. Cam was confident and capable, and we always felt we were in very good hands. His laid-back personality made the trip relaxing and enjoyable, while his strong focus on safety gave us total peace of mind. He also worked seamlessly with Sam, the first mate and chef. They made a great team and created such a welcoming, positive atmosphere on board. Cam was genuinely pleasant to be around and added so much to the overall experience. One of our favorite parts of each day was his morning meeting, where he shared an interesting fact and walked us through the day’s plans. It felt well-organized and helpful for us to know what was ahead for the day. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Cam as our captain and wouldn’t hesitate to sail with him again. Highly recommend!

Sam, our first mate and chef, was truly incredible and made our trip even more special. She was so much fun to be around, an easy conversationalist who brought great energy and warmth to the entire experience. Her cooking was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was thoughtful, creative, and delicious, and she made sure there was something for everyone, including accommodating different dietary needs. We were especially impressed by how she consistently created such amazing, healthy meals out of a tiny galley kitchen, it was seriously impressive! We loved how effortlessly she brought creativity to each dish, and her recipes were so good that we’ve continued to reach out to her for some of our favorites since returning home. Honestly, we all agreed she should create a “Barefoot Bliss” recipe book! Beyond her talent in the kitchen, Sam was genuinely a joy to be around. She added so much to the overall experience, and we feel lucky to have had her on board. We highly recommend Sam, she is exceptional at what she does!

Barefoot Bliss is a blessed ship. It has a convenient, pleasing layout that was perfect for our family of six. And its condition was ship-shape indeed.

Capt. Cam(eron) was busy 15 hours a day planning, tweaking, and informing us. The morning briefing started us off every day with all that we needed to know. In retrospect, he developed a sailing route that hit all of the BVI’s high points we had asked for. Cam gave excellent attention to safety issues. We felt calm during his piloting in all weather conditions.

First Mate Sam(antha) was the source of a garden of delights for the table. Every meal more than satisfied our picky group’s needs and desires.

Cam and Sam worked as a seamless team, with whom we became enamored. Great fun!
