We have done a private charter on the Flagship II twice. We really enjoyed ourselves both times...We went to Prickly Pear on one trip and made stops at Long Bay, Grand Case and Happy Bay on the other. Jazzgal's comments about the food are accurate, very good but short of "gourmet". Actually the food was far more than the two couples that were on each trip could eat. The drinks were excellent and plentiful. If the captain and crew were smoking, they didn't do it anywhere around us. We went snorkeling and paddle boarding and the equipment was excellent. We didn't have any issues with the ladder getting back in the boat, but I can certainly understand how some folks could/would have difficulty with the ladder. As Jazzgal said, it hangs off the back of the boat and does lean a bit forward at the bottom causing you to have to climb slightly backward going up. Decent upper body strength is needed. All of us are mid sixties so you don't have to be Tarzan, but it's not as easy as some boats that have steps to get back in.

Overall, we will definitely go with them again...We loved the freedom of a private charter, the ability to direct where we wanted to go and the boat is beautiful and comfortable.
