We can’t thank you enough for the absolute best experience we’ve ever had – it was hard to know what to expect since a charter was so new to us, but anything we could have expected wouldn’t come close to the reality of sailing with you and Kuma Too. From the moment we met you both we felt like we had been lifelong friends – we felt welcomed and like you really “got” us. That was also evident in the itinerary which completely reflected all the input we gave you on what we enjoy and what we were looking for on this trip. We’ve been trying to pick our favorite place, but it’s really almost impossible. I think we both agree that our happiest memories were hanging out on Kuma Too listening to music and just taking in all the views. It’s honestly the happiest I’ve ever felt in a lot of ways and that’s of course in huge part to both of you. I think I said this when we were there, but you’re both so incredibly good at what you do, but you don’t make it look like a job. The moments that we saw how excited you were for something (the epic sale between Lovango and Congo Cay, the incredible sunset at Lameshur Bay) were also so special to us – your love for Kuma Too and the USVI only heightened our happiness in those moments (even Lady Lyndsey couldn’t ruin it!). I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention Mandy’s incredible food – every meal was unique and delicious (and gorgeously presented). I’m still dreaming about the crab cakes.

We can’t recommend a charter with Kuma Too enough. I can’t think of one thing I’d change other than staying longer next time. We really can’t believe it’s over, but we’re so grateful for the memories that we get to relive for the rest of our lives. And of course we plan on returning – we’re yachties now!

Thank you for everything!

The week went by so quickly! Sailing, snorkeling every day, watching the marine life and of course, looking forward to the magic that Mandy created in the kitchen. Each bay or harbor had something special to offer and we loved the little history lessons Joe would share with us at every stop. So many things, it is hard to pick just one or two favorites. We will definitely be back again!! Keep out a watch for the elusive “Rose” fish!

Joe and Mandy created a dream vacation for us. Cannot say enough good things about Joe and Mandy and every aspect of this wonderful experience!!

We were not aboard long before it was obvious we could rely on Joe & Mandy’s knowledge and professionalism to take us on a tour of a lifetime through the beautiful secrets held by the USVI and BVI. Aside from their gregarious and welcoming nature, Joe & Mandy created made-from-scratch culinary delights for every meal. We had no desire to eat on shore as we looked forward to the next surprise Mandy had in store for us. We were very happy to have paid for full board.

We enjoyed getting in the water in the quiet coves we found each night. The colors, aromas, and sea breezes delighted 24/7. It was easy to forget we were actually guests in their home as they were constantly attending to every need of their guests. We are staying in the USVI another week, but wish we could stay on the boat with Mandy & Joe.

Everything on board was awesome. Food was outstanding & they exceeded my expectations with dealing with our food allergies. Enjoyed the snorkeling & island hopping. Joe & Mandy did a great job in pointing out the highlights not to miss on land & in the water. Snorkeling @ the Indians was awesome. It’s been awesome to have Mandy & Joe share their home. Their hospitality exceeded our expectations.

Favorite memory/recommendation: snorkeling @ the Indians. Mandy & Joe, the great food, etc. I wouldn’t change a thing! Awesome boat, owners, itinerary & weather. Thanks, Mandy & Joe for making our vacation the best. We loved everything about this trip. Great boat, crew, meals, weather, etc! We can’t wait to return.

The whole trip was beyond our expectations! Our favorite part was just the ability to relax any time & for as long as we wanted. Learning to be on island time was well worth it! The discovery dive was a highlight, as well as all the snorkeling. However, just being on the front of the boat enjoying the wind and water was the most enjoyable!!

Joe and Mandy are TOP NOTCH!! We didn’t want for anything the entire trip! They really know how to make this a home. We cannot think of anything you could have done different or better! Your attention to detail, impeccable service and easy going personalities made it the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. The small things, like our water bottles constantly being full, always having the snorkel gear ready or just the beautiful flowers and table setting, made a big impression!

Thanks so much, Joe & Mandy, for the best get away! It was fab!!

Dear Mandy and Joe,
We wanted to thank you so much for the most wonderful weekend. We really enjoyed everything about the trip. Your hospitality and catamaran were fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. (Thank you for these recipes!). It was such a nice relaxing get away for us. We hope to do it every year! I hope you both were able to relax and rest a little before you launched your next charter. Thank you again for everything!

Mandy and Joe are absolutely outstanding in every way. Since this was our second adventure on Kuma Too, it feels like coming back to visit with friends. We ate more in 3 days than we do in a week, and the food was absolutely fabulous! This is the most relaxing way to spend a weekend! If you need to “unplug” and reconnect and enjoy your favorite people – this is how to do it! The sailing was amazing; the island adventures were a blast. The berths were really comfortable and of course, with Joe and Mandy at the helm you knew you were going to be well taken care of & safe.

We went with another couple who are great friends of ours – they had a blast, too. Joe and Mandy even put up with us playing guitars, singing, and turning Kuma Too into a floating music studio – now that is hospitality!! It was the perfect 50th Birthday celebration!

It was no easy task planning a trip with our kids – ages 22, 20 and 11 year old twins, but once we booked a week-long cruise to the Dry Tortugas on the Kuma Too, we looked forward to spending increasingly rare time together. Joe and Mandy were outstanding. They accommodated vegan and vegetarian diets as well as a picky 11 year old. The food was amazing and we left with several recipes to try at home. They facilitated all of our water activities. We snorkeled at Ft. Jefferson, the wreck of The Windjammer off Loggerhead Key, and Woman Key and had many opportunities to swim off the boat and kayak. They made sure we were always comfortable, serving snacks and drinks whenever we needed them, making sure we had water to shower off at the end of our salty days, and cranking on the A/C at night so we all slept comfortably.

When we had to alter our schedule because of uncooperative weather conditions, Joe and Mandy quickly found alternatives that actually made our trip even better. We spent an extra night at sea on the way down, but during that night we witnessed a pod of dolphins chasing flying fish alongside the boat under the moon and stars for over an hour! A spectacular scene that none of us will ever forget. I can’t say enough about this trip.

As we cruised back, we all dreaded seeing land again. Not only was this an adventure of a lifetime, but also chance for us to reconnect and forge deeper connections as a family. Thank you, Joe and Mandy for a week of happy memories!!

My friends and I (six of us total) did a ten-day Christmas/ New Year cruise on Kuma Too. The trip was more than we could have imagined. To begin with, Joe and Mandy were the absolute most accommodating hosts ever. They catered to our individual needs – drinks, food, and comfort. The meals they prepared and served were five star restaurant quality. We all left a bit heavier than when we boarded! (The margaritas were pretty great, too!) They definitely need to create a Kuma Cook Book!

Their professionalism and sailing expertise kept me at ease while we were under sail and being transported on the dinghy. I’ve only briefly sailed once before… but I never ever felt unsafe. Joe and Mandy were also very knowledgeable about our destination locations as well Fort Jefferson/Dry Tortugas, Loggerhead Key, and Key West! So much so that when Joe toured us around Fort Jefferson, random people would stop to listen and ask him questions! I could go on and on about the awesomeness of our trip… a lot of the credit goes to Joe and Mandy. I highly recommend sailing with them! Looking forward to booking again for another adventure with them!

Sailing with Kuma Too and crew was one of the funniest, unique, top-notch experiences I’ve had. The boat is roomy enough for you to have your own space but also cozy enough to spend quality time with friends and family. Joe and Mandy where both friendly and personable but also very professional. They really make the boat feel like home for the time you are on it. Sailing is their passion and you can see it in the time and care they put into their boat and charters. They made sure that every detail was taken care of (every meal they made was fantastic) and all needs met for all guests. I wouldn’t sail any other catamaran!

Absolutely amazing! I had the opportunity to get away for a week from the hustle and bustle of life on land sailing up and down the gorgeous west coast of Florida. Captains Joe and Mandy Rosello were professional, attentive, fun, great hosts and overall “good people”. They made my 1-week sailing experience on their beautiful catamaran, Kuma Too, absolutely unforgettable. The trip was full of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, amazing wildlife (I lost count how many dolphins swam alongside the hulls) and, of course, plenty of rest and relaxation. Additionally, I wanted to better understand the sailing ins and outs and both captains were very informative and thorough in explaining procedures and techniques. Such a great trip! I genuinely enjoyed my time on Kuma Too and wholeheartedly recommend their chartering services. They definitely deliver the services and priceless memories you deserve.
