Great trip aboard KaYachtic! Pre-trip planning was well organized and Above Deck was able to accommodate all of our requests with ease. We would highly recommend this type of trip for families. A fun-filled, relaxing way to vacation!

Raph at Above Deck was very helpful in finding us a charter in Belize. He paid close attention to what we were looking for and hooked us up with the right boat and location.

Dream Trip! From initial contact to our return trip home Raph was there with us every step of the way to help with logistics, questions and checking in halfway through the charter to make sure everything was going well . Kayachtic is  a beautiful  yacht and was well appointed. Xander and Taylor were absolutely the best crew we could have asked for. The sailing, food and drinks were incredible. They took pride in their craft and were very knowledgeable and professional. We had lots of laughs together and made beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

I cannot stress enough how amazing our BVI trip was aboard Elysian! Jake was wonderful to work with from the beginning when trying to find the right boat to meet our needs within our budget to helping plan activities and restaurants during our trip. The best part was connecting us with the best captain and chef in the business! Liam and Kelsey really made the experience. Liam knew exactly what route we should take based on weather and even seemed to avoid crowds and cruise ships. He took time to answer questions and even gave a sailing lesson! Kelsey's food exceeded all expectations! Three amazing meals a day WITH desserts... we were never hungry! She truly has a gift! The extra touches such as the waterproof bags, the daily whiteboard schedules, the games and Elysian Yetis ;) made it even more special. We all felt like we left with 2 more friends. Thank you Jake and Liam and Kelsey for making this a trip of a lifetime!

We just had the best trip using Above Deck Sailing! Jake Lockwood helped us find yacht Heavenly for remarkable trip in USVI and BVI. The crew of Heavenly, Eric and Madison were top notch! From the onset, Jake was incredibly responsive and worked hard to make our trip a reality. And it didn’t stop there, Jake’s communication continued during the charter and even after we returned. We will certainly use Above Deck for our next trip and hopefully aboard Heavenly with Eric and Madison. It was as close to perfect as you can get! Great job to all involved.

Raph was amazing helping us set our BVI charter! Everything about the trip was perfect. On a Whim III and Henru and Clara were better than we could have expected. We were so sad to leave and already thinking about our next trip back!

What a DREAM of a trip we had thanks to the Kayachtic team (Taylor & Xander) and Above Deck leader Raph! Honestly I can't remember how exactly I landed on Raph/ADS - probably through some google searching - but he was the MOST responsive and straightforward with my incessant emails and requests. He helped us find the right boat and crew based on our criteria and budget. He was NOT wrong. Taylor and Xander were amazing - they made our college friends group 40th birthday celebration trip the trip of a lifetime. The boat is in incredible shape (2024 vintage) and is so well kept. The crew was so so professional and kind and responsive to our every need - even predicting what we would want/need next! They were flexible in our itinerary and very go with the flow. The incredibleness of the food was totally unexpected by me and most of our group - so utterly beautiful and fresh and fully of amazing tastes! Taylor is very talented with her trade. Xander rocked on the cocktails and captaining our wild group ;-) Can't wait to book our next trip via Raph/ADS - but the bar is very high based on a great experience with Kayachtic / Taylor&Xander. Thanks so much!

I had land accommodations for our USVI Valentines getaway and knew sea accommodations would be wayyy more romantic and found Above Deck and challenged Ryan to find me a yacht in my budget for the busiest week in the USVI’s calendar. He went to work and didn’t give up till he found me Sea Magik. Communication was top notch, the process was easy and me and my Valentine had a week to go down in the books like never before. Thanks Ryan for making my dream come true. Will use Above Deck again for sure. Sail on sailors!!
