Guest Experiences
Read what previous guests have to say about their unforgettable time aboard Serenity 4.8.
Taking us to snorkeling locations with so much to see and it felt safe to swim there. It was perfect. Even though Captain John was very knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. JulieAnna’s sublime cooking and presentation is top on my feedback when I’m recounting my trips highlights to my friends. She truly made this an amazing experience.

A week on Serenity with John + Bryny makes you forget your worries for a bit. Snorkeling, swimming, a drink or two, and fabulous food made by Bryny will make it hard to leave, but easy to come back. - Tim, Stacy, John, Emily, Jim, Holly
What an amazing first trip to the BVI! So grateful to have John and Bryny to give us an expert tour of the islands. We even got to go conch shell hunting on Anegada with Sherwin and make fresh ceviche. You're in a good hands on the Serenity! - Ben T.

Ended up being my favorite trip of all time. I don't think I could have asked for a better captain or first mate. I loved snorkeling, knee boarding and wake boarding with Bryny. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! And the food was TOP TIER! - Parker B.

Attention to details was on point. John & Bryny made the experience even better. The crew made the trip first class and they felt like family. Bryny's food was always tasty, John was very attentive with drinks. - Christian A.
My kids, my mom and I had an incredible trip despite being planned in a very short timeframe. We will definitely come back again; this boat - Serenity - and this crew - John + Bryny - it was a very comfortable, exciting and enjoyable week. - Brian G.
My family and I loved this trip! Although the weather made some activities difficult, we still had a lot of fun and time to relax (which we all needed!) Beautiful nights, yummy food, pretty water and good strong drinks! Thank you guys for making this trip fun, relaxing, and memorable. The service was great. Both of you made us feel very welcome and comfortable! Thank you for a wonderful start to the new Year! - Santos family
Our captain John Yoxall was quite simply the best skipper we've ever sailed with. The safety of his guests was always priority #1 throughout the charter… We came to realize that John considers one of his roles as skipper to be Ambassador to the BVI for his guests, a role he performed beyond expectations… We had an informal talk every morning about what to do that day, including John's wonderfully entertaining stories about the history of the BVI. His stories were so much fun that one of our guests promptly began videotaping him…In terms of drinks, not only was the wine and beer we requested available, but John mixed up a different, delicious Caribbean concoction for us every night, all of which were new to us. In fact, it's safe to say that John's talents on the grille were exceeded only by his bartending skills. His wine selections were well received by our group, especially the reds. And after dinner, port was served every night, our favorite!

Simply unbelievable! This tops all of our sailing trips! The cuisine was top notch! The crew wonderful, visuals once again divine and Captain John entertaining as well as best in the captain class. Sorry to leave, great memories forever.
