INDEPENDENCE 2 Testimonials
Independence 2 charter ? August 9-30, 2010 New England
We had an excellent charter on the Independence 2. Captain Matt with Kristin?s assistance ran the yacht expertly so there were simply no problems operationally. Their handling of the wave runner, sailboat and the tender to accommodate our family and guests was handled extremely well. Tracy, our Stewardess, was very diligent and took very good care of us and our guests. Jeff, the Chef, was also excellent and his meals were first rate and enjoyed by all. All four crew members worked together superbly throughout the cruise without a hint of discord or complaint which was very impressive.
Your service to us including arranging the visits to the candidate yachts prior to our selection was very beneficial and helped make our overall experience a pleasurable one. Thanks again for your help.
