Charter Comments for OPUS March 2010

Thanks again for another wonderful charter, Billy. Here are comments from a family of 5 that we had aboard Opus a few weeks ago...

We had a great time last week. Billy was great - very personable, eager to please & fun. We all really enjoyed every bit of it except the leaving part. We are currently experiencing what I call "Vacation Hangover". Thanks again for a very memorable vacation on Opus!!

• How did you enjoy your charter?  We had a fabulous time
• Did you find your crew to be helpful, accommodating and friendly? Yes, Billy went out of his way to make us happy & comfy - Jamie was an excellent cook & very nice too!
• Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well maintained? Yes
• How would you describe the quality and presentation of the meals served on board? Each one was great & we have some picky eaters & my hubby (the chef) was very impressed
• How did you find the services offered by Paradise Connections? Great! Very easy & fast if I had any questions
• Would you be interested in taking another yacht vacation in the future? Yes
• If so, would you like to charter the same yacht and crew? Yes

Visit to sail dive charter yacht, Trimaran OPUS

Yesterday, we went to visit the trimaran OPUS which is a charter yacht that has a new owner-operator.

Billy bought OPUS in May this year and we were happy to meet him and see how OPUS was doing as we haven't inspected the boat in a few years as it has been out of charter. Looking good!

Billy has lived in St Thomas for over 20 years (thought he looked familiar) and thus has excellent local knowledge for running a charter yacht. He is a dive instructor who enjoys diving (some don't!) and first mate/chef Kimberly is a dive master. We are confident that OPUS will be a successful operation as they fulfill a niche that has been increasingly ignored over the past few years...  A good, affordable multihull that offers diving and fun for 6 guests with 3 double cabins. We have plenty of "luxury" catamarans but not enough of the meat & potatoes variety :) We already have our first charter group booked on Opus! HURRAY!!!

You can see Opus' online brochure: http://www.viewyacht.com/opus/ and contact Paradise Connections Yacht Charters for more information.

While chatting with Billy aboard OPUS on his mooring in Elephant Bay, there was a nice sunset.

Then, there was this disturbing sight as the cruiseship was leaving port

They do have powerful bow thrusters... fortunately :)

Too close for MY comfort though, especially if I was that little yellow sailboat.
