Kunphuzn... That is a terrible story. Paying all that money and getting treated like an unwanted irritation is simply wrong. If the crew and boat are still together in the BVI you should name and shame.

My wife and I ran crewed charters aboard our boat for a couple of years and it is probably the hardest job we have ever done but guests should never get to see that.

It really can be 24/7. Many times we were up at 06.00 preparing breakfast and then still up at 02.00 trying to get up to 6 very drunk people safely back from the Willie T into the dinghy and aboard the boat without losing anyone into the water.

Having said that we did have a great time and hope all our guests did as well. We know most of them did as many now count as friends and we have met quite a few back at their homes in the U.S. and some have come and stayed with us in the U.K. as well.

Finally, there is no way you should have been made to feel you spent 20k to have the worst week of you life. The crew of that boat should be ashamed.
