My new husband and I really wanted the experience of chartering a sailboat for our honeymoon after our wedding in St. Thomas, USVI. We had all but given up on the idea due to the exorbitant costs we were encountering, until one day I was browsing VRBO and saw the Purple Pelican. The first thing I did was start reading the reviews on Chris and Lorrie, and I knew almost immediately this was where we were supposed to be! We booked that night and communications began. Chef Lorrie sent us a detailed questionnaire on our food preferences and I knew we would be in good hands! Before our 4-day, 3-night charter, we also arranged for a half-day sail for 12 ladies including myself who were on island to celebrate my wedding. When arriving to the boat Lorrie decorated the boat for my “Last Sail Before The Veil” and had mimosas for us all, and she prepared an incredible brunch. It was SO GOOD and I knew we were in for a treat on our charter! David and I arrived a few days later and just had the absolute most wonderful time. We slept like babies on the boat, and ate like a king and queen. Chris and Lorrie were so wonderful to be with, and every meal we ate outside on the back table just soaking in the views of where we had sailed that morning. We spent every day paddle-boarding and snorkeling and the beautiful beaches they took us to, and even thinking about it writing this review brings tears of joy to my eyes! I could not have dreamed up a better way to celebrate my marriage with my new husband, and our only regret is that we did not make it for a few days longer! We cannot wait to come back and do this again with Chris and Lorrie, and just highly recommend them!!!
