I cannot tell you how FANTASTIC our trip was on Zingara. The crew is the best I have ever, ever had in the 20 years I have chartered boats. They not only went above and beyond, they exceed any expectation that any of us had at any time during our trip. We are a very well traveled group and have gone all over the world. Mark, Frans, Tiffany and Christine were absolutely incredible and best group of people I have had the good fortune to meet.

The boat is incredible and we saw Lone Star and were so glad you had us charter Zingara. Such a better boat!

The food was 5 star, every single meal. The staff also had a different place setting and centerpieces for each one, absolutely incredible. Day after Day, Chef Tiffany put a masterpiece in front of us for each and every feast.

The expertise of the crew was also amazing, they knew everything about absolutely everything. If it was scuba diving, they knew where to go, if it was snorkeling, they knew where to go, sailing, the ports, the hobie cat, anything that we needed to do or know, they were above and beyond.

I have been in the service business for almost 20 years and I know and understand service. This was not Five Star Five Diamond, it FAR EXCEEDED that award!

I would like to further collect my thoughts on this remarkable crew and boat and put it in a formal letter to you and to Ed. I will get this done by next week and off to you. I just wanted you to know immediately how completely and immensely happy we were with this charter. I know that the two other couples would also like to add their comments as they were simply shocked at the level of service and FUN that we all had.

We are also going to re-book for next year and do the BVI's even though we have done it before, it is worth doing it on Zingara. We are tying to pull our dates together now.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for recommending Zingara !

You all made my 40th the most memorable week of my life! We have had the best experiences ever. Can't wait until Christie Palooza "08.

Nonstop fun & party! You guys are so excellent. Please stay together until we can come back again. Very professional but definitely know how to have fun too! Thanks for the great teamwork and laughs. The Fabers love you!

Love you guys! Looking forward to you visiting me in Chicago sometime soon and letting me make you coffee every morning! We had the most wonderful adventure. Thanks for making Christiepalooza so special!

Thank you for everything! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You all are so friendly and fun. You helped make this week amazing! It was a week of great friends, great food and great fun!

Zingara Crew,
Thanks for making this week so special. Your enthusiasm, fun loving spirit and positive attitude made this the trip of a lifetime. See you soon!

Thanks for the great time. YES - I liked it! We definitely want to do this again. You guys rock. Tiff, thanks for all your hard work. Re-entry to Chicago and winter will be painful! Great team!

What can be said....the boat, the beauty, the crew, the weather and the drinking, and let's not forget the food. Everything was excellent. When you look back and remember the botox you will always think of us, and when we eat mongoose we will always remember you!

You guys have made this a trip of dreams and this by far has been our most memorable vacation.

The very best crew. How can this vacation ever be duplicated? We will have to track you down as a team to maybe recreate the best time of my life. Chris has been cured – stress release, good sleep, good booze, dancing.

Wonderful time, wonderful crew, wonderful food — and extraordinary professionalism. Thanks for it all.

This was an experience beyond my best expectations. Thank you all. "Like mama said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get." This one was the most exceptional and greatest I ever had.

What a great trip! This place is always a lot of fun but you guys make it exceptional. I enjoyed the wakeboarding, the diving, and of course the food. I learned a lot this trip, from how to decipher South African lingo to 21 reasons margaritas are my new worst enemies. Hopefully I will get to see all you guys again!

Wow! I will never forget you guys - you did an amazing job. You work so hard and I greatly appreciated it! I hope to run into you again one of these days. Keep up the excellent work!

What a stroke of luck! If Akasha would have been available we might have missed out on one of the most memorable charters we have ever taken. Thanks to all: Mark, Franc, Tiff and Cat, for making our time together on board the beautiful Zingara so special!

Happy Sailing and look forward to cruising with you again soon.

A most wonderful time. Can't wait to return. If ever you (each of you) come to South Carolina please call. We would love to have each of you spend time with us. Calm seas, warm breeze.

We've been blessed with such a great crew. It's always hard to leave but there is the next time with the Zingara and crew. Much love and thanks from Indy. Let's Dance!!!

What an unforgettable time of our lives. This trip exceeded all expectations. The boat is fantastic, The islands and ocean beautiful, but the best part was making four new friends. Everything was perfect.

Thank you so much for making our family vacation so wonderful. We truly enjoyed every moment on board your beautiful ship, Zingara. Each one of you were a joy to be with we appreciate all the efforts you all went to on making our trip a delight for all of us. We wish you all our very best and hope to see you again on another Zingara adventure.

Thank you so much for wonderful vacation! We really enjoyed our time with you and appreciate all your hard work and efforts. Zingara is a beautiful boat and you are a 1st class crew. Thanks again for everything. If you ever find yourselves in Los Angeles, please give us a call.

Thank you for a great time. Mark thanks for all the great dives. Kevin thanks for the great stories and all the help you provided. Lara thanks for keeping everything clean, spotless and us in towels. Dave, thanks for the great food. I will go home with great stories to tell my grand children.

Thank you all so much for making this trip the awesomely fun and amazing experience it was. We will look back fondly on our time here for many years to come. Also, you all have great taste in movies, even though nobody else in my party liked the zombie films.

Mark - You are an awesome captain, and we all felt very safe at all times on your beautiful boat. We also loved the dive you took us on. Kevin- You are hilarious and the only man who can rival my Indian accent. Keep up the karaoke and please email the pics if you get a chance. Dave - The food was stellar, with presentation to match. We always looked forward to the next meal and were never disappointed. Also thanks so much for lending us your underwater camera. And damn, you can hold your breath a long time!! Lara - The boat definitely needed a feminine touch and you fit the bill perfectly.

Thank you so much for making our room beautiful and blessing us with chocolate balls. Thanks again everyone and please stay in touch.

Great food, great crew, great zip lines, 4 wheeling and off roading. 17.6 knots!! GREAT dinghy. Hope to see you all again either here or in Maine.

I've never once been on a real charter that I can remember as vividly as this. The food, drinks, music and atmosphere were all outstanding and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Thanks for putting up with us. Hopefully we'll see you soon!

Thank you for everything you guys provided us with including the excellent food, great cocktails and friendly faces. I had a great time.
