“The trip exceeded all our expectations.  We had great weather . . .  I should make special mention of the fact that the crew was absolutely extraordinary, each and every one.  Jeanne and I have been on five or six private boats or charters, and each of the other couples has been on at least that many and we all agreed that this was by far the best crew in every respect that any of us have experienced.”

Winery owners (two families) from California with four children aged 6 to 10 cruised from Naples to Sicily.  They had this to say about their vacation experience:

“We have just finished a week on the lovely Kalikobass II, with the absolutely superb service and attention of the crew.  Congratulations on a world-class operation!” 

“We had a fabulous time, and could not imagine a better crew or ship.

Expert but unobtrusive service, delicious meals, wonderful sailing...we all agreed it was one of the best experiences of our lives.”

“We sailed from Naples to Capri, then down to the Aeolians, and finally down to Taormina in Sicily.  We did one overnight sail which helped us cover the ground down to the Aeolians.  Beautiful scenery and lots of nice visiting of the islands.”

“All around a great adventure”.

July 5 – 12, 2007, Naples to Sicily

This week on Kalikobass II has been sheer bliss.  The Captain and his crew have made us all so happy, that our only question is, when can we come back?  Many thanks and good luck to you all.

What can I say but spectacular!! I knew you would all take very special care of my wife and myself, but had no idea how special. I wanted this anniversary (25th) to be unforgettable and you have certainly out done yourselves. From the magnificent presents to the truly delightful company, as with my birthday (onboard in February) I could not have planned it any better.

Thank you James, Morné, Stephanie and not least Henny, for her wonderful food, and being such a delightful addition to the crew.  We can’t wait until February 2007!

Guests who cruised the US and British Virgin Islands for two weeks in February said their charter was "Superb!  Could not ask for a better crew or captain.  The chef was fantastic!  The yacht was exquisite!  The layout was perfect.  Two weeks was not nearly enough.  We would like to charter the same boat and crew again."  Very flexible

Dubrovnik, July 2005

It's going to be difficult to find the right words to express the sense of joy, happiness and complete relaxation we all felt during the time spent onboard Kalikobass II.  It has been a real pleasure to be looked after by such a professional, efficient, funny and kind crew. This, together with the wonderful historical places we visited, the calm Croatian Sea, the wind and the rocky beaches has made this week truly unforgettable. 

We will miss - not necessarily in this order !

The Captain's great skill, DJ Kelly's smile, kindness, sense of humor, Audrey's efficiency, politeness, calm and his sunset beer, Chef Joost's gastronomic fantasies, and his ability to move like a ballet dancer in such a tight kitchen and his funny performances when serving the meals.  (Actually the Belgian sense of humor is famous all over the world!) 

And last, but not least:            KALIKOBASS II

Elegant, comfortable, fast, clean and safe.  (It could not have been any other way with such a great crew.) 

"We hope to sail with you again - Fair winds and following seas.  Ciao!"
