We want to thank you and express our heartfelt appreciation for the memorable week we spent on board Seaclusion! Your warmth, professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail made our vacation truly unforgettable.
From the moment we stepped on board we felt welcomed and quickly made to feel right at home.
The boat was Immaculate and well appointed and you all went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed including treating us with a outside memorable movie night. Also your guidance and knowledge of the area allowed us to explore the most beautiful and secluded spots in the BVI.
Thank you all for making our vacation a trip of a lifetime. We will cherish the memories we made and look forward sailing with you again in the future.
With Gratitude,
Colleen & Phil, Gary and Mary, Reid & Asia and Jakie and Deke

Captain Ricky, Chef Jess, first mate Jake, and dynamite in a small package Nyla were in perpetual motion and able to anticipate our every desire. The crew is absolutely five-star! The best thing is all of the crew's hidden talents that just may show up upon request. Love these guys. Murph & Renee

Nyla it was so much fun helping and watching you clean. PS mom really loved your vacuum make sure to hide it.
Jake tubing was so much fun thank you for putting up with me. I loved the scoot scoots, I might have to take one. Dont be surprised if one is missing 😉
Jess loved the food. I eat a lot of food so ya, you have a gift for food. Thank you for filling my belly.
Ricky make sure not to steal my phone again, I might have a heart attack because I most likely be the one to drop my phone in the water. Luckily that didn't happen though.

This was a most wonderful vacation with lovely people. You all made us feel so special and pampered. There are so many things to thank for, bet ill just say it is very hard to develop such a close relationship in such a short time. We will miss you all. Stay safe, we will keep in touch until next time.
Much love

What a team! Supported brilliantly by Jacob and Nyla. Thank you all so much for a fabulous week. Nothing was too much, amazing food, service and sailing. Great crew, great boat, we will definitely be returning. With love and thanks, Anna and Geoff
I have always loved butterflies - not just because they are beautiful, but because of all the patience and struggle it does to fly.
This is my first time sailing - now every time I see a sail boat I will always think of its beauty but will remember of all of your hard work, patience and at times struggle to allow us to sail and enjoy freely.
Thank you for the memories, laughter & best Easter ever.

FAQ
WHAT TO DO IN THE BAHAMAS?
We’ll be pleased to assist you in deciding which activities suit your personality and interests the best. Your crew and captain are experts. They are familiar with the locale and the greatest things to do. They can give advice on where to go fishing, diving, or snorkeling. They are aware of the locations of the remotest beaches. They can give advice on the top boutiques, eateries, or nightclubs.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN REGARDS TO MEALS?
We’ll provide you a food choice survey to fill out so we can figure out what kinds of meals you and your visitors would like to eat while you’re away. Along with your preferences, the form will ask about any dietary requirements, medical restrictions, or food allergies that any members of your party may have. Prior to your departure, you will also get the chance to ask any questions of a crew member. The team will next make your favorite cocktails and fresh, gourmet meals for the rest of the voyage.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RATES LISTED?
Running costs are not included in the rates given for motor yacht charters and must be paid separately. Catamarans for sailing must be all-inclusive. The costs are determined by the number of people and cover all meals, drinks (including the typical ship’s bar), fuel, ice, and aquatic activities. Taxes, dockage fees, and communication expenses must all be paid individually.
Food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, port fees, and any other costs associated with the charter are considered running costs.
Typically, the operating costs represent 35% of the base charter fee. A 35% Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) will be paid in advance of your departure, giving the crew time to stock the yacht. A detailed breakdown of all costs will be provided to you at the conclusion of the charter. If there is still a balance, you will get a refund; however, if expenses are higher than the APA, you will have to pay the outstanding balance before disembarking.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS?
Florida’s tax ranges from 6-7%, depending on the port of embarkation, while the Bahamian tax is 14%. The charter cost also includes tax.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
What to anticipate if you have to cancel your vacation is covered in your charter agreement. To protect yourself in the event that unavoidable circumstances force you to cancel your trip, we advise buying cancellation insurance.
WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE CAPTAIN WHILE ON MY CHARTER?
A luxury yacht rental is made to meet all of your requirements for the entirety of your journey. The skipper and crew will do everything possible to meet and exceed your expectations. The captain’s first priority, however, is the security of his crew and the boat. He has the last say on anything that could affect the safety of passengers.
IS IT CUSTOMARY TO TIP THE CREW?
Yes. Although not required, leaving a tip is encouraged, especially if your yacht rental experience left you feeling especially satisfied. At the completion of your charter, you should give the captain a 15% gratuity.
HOW DO I RESERVE A YACHT?
Once you’ve decided on a yacht, we’ll place an “option” on it, securing it for 48 hours while you finish the paperwork. Then, a yacht charter agreement must be read and signed. We are happy to answer any queries you may have and thoroughly explain the terms. You must send your completed contract together with a deposit for the charter.
HOW MUCH IS THE DEPOSIT?
50% of the charter cost is required as a down payment; however, if there are less than 30 days to departure, the whole amount is due. The deposit is made via bank wire transfer and is kept in an escrow account by the principal agent of the yacht until just before the charter date. You have secured the yacht once we get your signed contract and down payment.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE CONTRACT IS SIGNED AND THE DEPOSIT IS MADE?
We’ll start collaborating with you to customize your charter. Your food and exercise preference survey will be delivered to you. We’ll set up a phone call for you and the crew. We will assist you in planning all charter-related details, including transportation in a limousine and flights.
WHEN IS THE FINAL PAYMENT DUE?
If you are renting a motor boat, the APA funds and the remaining balance of the charter are due 30 days before the start of your trip.
