Tim and Maya,

I just want to thank you both for an amazing trip from start to finish. All the recommendations for each day were spot on. From codenames to poker, we enjoyed hanging out with you as well! I hope to see you both someday!

February 2022
Our first time to the USVI was fabulous thanks to Captain Tim and Chef Maya plus the Oceanfront Property which had a superb layout. Tim and Maya made us feel welcome from day one and put together an itinerary that took us to all three islands. A big adventure combined with incredible and tasty food, impeccable service, lots of spectacular scenery, and some wonderful friendships! Thank you Tim and Maya! Exclamation!

February 2022
Our trip on Oceanfront Property was nothing short of FABULOUS! Captain Timmy and Chef Maya left nothing out—wonderful snorkeling spots, outrageous sailing, exquisite meals, hilarious evenings of game-playing—every detail planned or spontaneous was considered and so appreciated. We will never forget this week and look forward to more trips with these two at the helm!

February 2022
Ditto to all the adjectives above that describes a week that exceeded our expectations. 5+ stars for sailing, snorkeling, hiking, and playing— Even more accolades for our crew of calm, competent captain Tim and the worlds #1 chef Maya. So much fun!!!

February 2022
Tim and Maya, you two were/are amazing. I had no idea what to expect on a trip like this, but this is more fun than anything I could’ve imagined. Maya, your creative cuisine that catered to all of our diet and your sense of humor were two of my most favorite things. Tim, your navigating and musical skills are most of mirable and beautiful. Thank you for sharing all of your many gifts with us, for being yourself, for allowing us to be ourselves, and for joining our makeshift family. We love you and feel blessed to have spent this time together, with you, in paradise.


February 2022
Tim and Maya the week was as amazing and special as you both are human beings. It didn’t take long to feel like family and we genuinely enjoyed our time connecting and wandering about the boat, the amazing food and all your knowledge of the islands. Tim-your amazingly talented at the guitar, lassoing a dock cleat, chopping an onion and swimming like your dinnghy depends on it. Thank you for taking such great care of us. Maya- you are a beautiful human with amazing cooking skills. I was doubtful that all the meals on the boat would be as plant-forward as my diet. You surprised and delighted us from the first meal to the last snack. It’s been so fun and we look forward to connecting again.

Peace and love,

It’s hard to imagine seven days and nights without a shred of disappointment but this is exactly what this trip has been: utter bliss and happiness and fun and adventure. Life with Tim and Maya aboard Oceanfront Property has exceeded my every expectation! It has been super fun getting to know them/you and we will miss you both not just because of the awesome environment you provided for us/ spectacular food, the perfect drinks at the perfect time, the best activities etc., but because you’re both such easy-going, interesting, and fun people.

Each day had been better than the last-how is that possible? ! Loved it all! Here’s our trip went: downpours we came aboard (so funny!), lunch and drinks and snacks on the beach, food, food, food, hikes and snorkels, band on a boat while watching from a raft-WHAT? Sailing ❤️, turtles, ruins, donkeys, drinks, drinks, drinks, games, games, dice (Perdudo), Codenames, Farkle, catching and eating fresh caught fish and volleyball, yahoo!! We also had so much fun making pasta and it’s you!! And our special dinner at 1864. A lifetime of great memories.

Tim made everything happen for us! Every day he planned was exactly what we wanted/needed. Maya was so creative and professional with her cuisine and presentation. We are so impressed with our crew!! Thank you!! We’re so grateful you took-us-on last minute everything worked out exactly as it should have! OMG. Miss you both already. Please keep in touch reach out if you’re ever in VT! It’s cold but also beautiful. You guys can cook if you visit :) I’ll go to the market for you.

Cheers and gratitude!
Love, love, love

Clayton and Maya,

I echo Julie’s words above but want to add a few more of my own. This is my 5th charter and hands down the BEST all because of you guys! I was so surprised to learn this was your first charter as a team as you were the perfect pair. Clayton’s boating and mechanical skills were complimented by Maya’s fantastic culinary skills. Both made their work seem effortless. We hope to see you again.

Captain Rob and Chef Maya,

Thank you for an amazing trip. The two of you were a great fit for our group. Delicious food, great service, new activities, and spots to see AND jumping right in with our sense of humor and jokes. Also, you were both cool under pressure when we needed you to be. We would do it again tomorrow. Thank you.

November 2021
Rob and Maya-

Thanks for making my 50th Birthday celebration so special. It was the small touches that did not go unnoticed. From the special attention to our dietary requests to the Olympic dinghy flings, it was the details that made the trip extraordinary. We can’t thank you enough. Captain Rob’s primary concern was clearly out safety and comfort, honestly saved my life. Thanks Rob for the piggy back ride to the ambulance. I’m sure you’ll never have to do that again. Your effortless professionalism made a terrifying situation bearable. Maya jumped into every situation like a veteran. We were all surprised to find out it was her first trip. And the food was OUTSTANDING- thanks so much for the attention to detail. Little touches like the ginger tea at bedtime made the week exceptional. It I had to sum it up, I’d say it felt like you were on vacation with us this week, not for us- that’s the best!! We would travel with y’all anytime!!

Clayton and Maya,

Thank you for an incredible trip! You made every day so fun, comfortable, and delicious. Our boys could not have had a better experience- your itinerary created so many opportunities for them to try new things and for our family to create unforgettable memories. Clayton is so easy going but knows his stuff- completely unflappable! And Maya- the FOOD!!! You are a wizard. We are going home heavier and without regrets. Thanks for curating every snack and meal with such passion and care, even getting the boys to try new things. Thanks for your every day attention to detail and tidiness- both of you. We’d love to travel with you all again anytime and loved getting to know you. Wonderful hosts and people!!

Maya and Tim,

Thank you for an incredible vacation aboard Oceanfront Property. Everything from the food, sailing, accommodations – exceeded our expectations! Highlights for us included – Maya catching the mahi mahi on Day 1, swimming with turtles in Maho Bay, Lime Out, spotting 4 squid in Caneel Bay, drinking and dancing to the disco ball and fun music, and generally reading, sleeping, and relaxing our way though each day! Thank you for showing us a wonderful time, keeping track of us all, organizing with our cruiser boat, feeding us incredible meals and giving us memories for a lifetime. Until next time..

Thank you Tim and Maya for a wonderful vacation. Maya created delicious and creative meals and snacks every day. The service was fabulous. Tim took us on an adventurous sale. They had great recommendations for beautiful settings every day. The beds were so comfy and we loved being rocked to sleep at night. Thanks for teaching us how to play Codenames-we have to get that one at home. We loved her ocean front property vacation!

Gordon and Aileen

Tim and Maya,

Our heartfelt thank you for an amazing, relaxing vacation with you on Oceanfront Property. You both made our week so much fun! The places we visited, the fishing and the snorkeling, the sails and amazing meals were beyond our expectations. You both work so well together!! Thank you for the board and card games, the music and drinks of the day. We will all definitely be back and look forward to sailing with you again! A week for the memory books!

June 2022
Our trip was one of the BEST vacations we have ever taken with our friends. It was a unique and unforgettable experience, filled with great memories. Captain Tim and Chef Maya went above and beyond, and everything was complete perfection. Tim was not only a great Captain, but he was also funny, entertaining, AND a fantastic bartender whipping up Painkillers, refreshing Mojitos, and sinfully delicious Bushwackers. And as for Chef Maya, at the end of the trip, we wanted to take her home with us! Every meal was creative, beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and incredibly healthy. In fact, she opened our eyes to how food can be both healthy and scrumptious. and has inspired us to improve our culinary skills at home! It was truly an amazing experience with friends that exceeded our expectations. Ours wasn't an easy trip as we were tandem sailing with another group of friends on different boat for 7 nights, and both crews had to coordinate daily. The crew made the trip exceptional – they were super friendly, accommodating, highly attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome. They took us to amazing snorkeling/diving spots, beautiful coves/beaches, organized a surprise live concert on our boat (which was delightfully interrupted by a dolphin that graced us with its presence and allowed us to swim with it!!). We not only enjoyed Tim & Maya's service, but their company as well! Had a blast playing drinking games:) And Tim even belted out a few tunes on his guitar for us on the last night. The Oceanfront Property was a luxurious place from which to just stare into various blue colors of the US Virgin Islands. And we can't wait to do it again!"

Raj & Brad

This was a lot of fun! The crew made everything even better! 10 out of 10! Maya’s food was better than any other food I’ve had and it was all homemade and healthy

Doyle/Maya

I can’t thank you enough for the fantastic cruise you provided for my family. Your attention to detail was outstanding. Maya, your meal prep was like nothing I’ve ever had. Doyle, youre soft but constant awareness of safety was warmly welcomed. You are the best and we hope to cruise with you again in the future!

What an amazing trip!!! I wouldn’t change a thing about this vacation. You get a very relaxing time with the best views and fantastic food. The experience I had on this trip will be a wonderful memory that will be in my mind forever. Doyle and Maya quickly became more than a crew but actually part of our group. So much fun!!! You will always have friends in South Dakota. Look us up if you were ever in the area. Thank you so much.
-Rob

Doyle and Maya, thank you guys very much for an amazing experience! The food was delicious and unique, it got us out of our comfort zone of hot dishes for every meal :) I cannot believe how fast the week went and will be wishing I was lying out in 80° weather as we sail off to the next island-especially when we return to whatever blizzard we missed.I will never forget this trip and you two truly did an outstanding job at making sure everyone was enjoying themselves! Take care and hopefully see you guys again.
-Brandi

Chef Maya captain Doyle,
what a wonderful experience. The culturally diverse food was amazing. Your hospitality in dealing with us rookie South Dakotans and was exceptional. So great to know you guys. If we ever get the opportunity to do this again, would definitely choose you two! P.S. thanks for helping me cross off another bucket list item :) If you guys ever get to South Dakota please look us up.
-Michele

What a week of sailing with the legend himself, a cowboy at heart and a mystery in his own book. Doyle the one I would pick for my team any day. Also a big thank you to Chef and Maya for preparing great meals. Next time I might let you win a game, Maya. Thanks for a wonderful time and you two are welcome to come visit my world any time.
Thanks Again from the cowboy captain, “Beaver,” from South Dakota and his wife Michelle.

I’ve been on a number of these weeklong boat cruises and just wanted to say that Maya and Doyle were the best crew that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and sailing with. Both were so communicative, responsive, and most importantly just fun to be around. Maya’s culinary skills were top notch. Could have eaten her crab cakes all 6 days. Doyle’s local knowledge and instruction was excellent. I’m not big on writing reviews but just wanted to pass this along.

- John

Capt. Doyle and First mate/Chef Maya,
Thank you both for a wonderful and outstanding cruise this week! Every detail was covered from the moment we stepped on the boat. They itinerary and choice of
“ports” to stop for the night were exceptional and so varied. The food was just delicious and we always eagerly looked forward to each and every meal. We now have a much greater appreciation of how special that BVI is. It was indeed a pleasure to get to know you a little better as a week went on. You are both true professionals!!

Frank and Lori

Maya and Doyle, to give a little context I am in my seventh decade and I have been very fortunate to have done a lot. This week has been an exceptional week in my life. I have experience new things, felt safe and been so well looked after. Maya cares deeply about her craft and about looking after her guests. Doyle is an amazing seafarer who shares his knowledge of the island and sailing with extraordinary generosity. We had such a wonderful and relaxing week, thank you to both.

Mark

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you for an outstanding week in the Virgin Islands! You’ve been attentive since our initial zoom preference call. Execution this week has been superb. We’re fortunate to have had an opportunity to explore Anegada with you and we hope that Maya sticks with kiting. Your knowledge, spirits, and personalities have made this trip more memorable than you can imagine! Thank you for taking such good care of us -safely transporting us from island to island-cooking us multiple fabulous meals a day
-taking such exceptional care of Zac sunburn foot! Simply outstanding! Best of luck with the rest of the season!

Sanjeev

Maya and Doyle,

Thank you so much for making our first charter trip so amazing. This was a trip of a lifetime that our family will always remember. Every day was such a fun adventure at different coves. You guys did such a great job accommodating the boys yet making it special for Brian and me. Maya – I think you finally won Spence over and the boys want to bring you home to cook every day for us. You have set the bar high!! Doyle, we appreciate your professionalism with keeping us safe on the boat. We can tell how much you care for the for Nae Kae! Next time we might need you to play a little more guitar for us!! Cheers to an amazing trip and we hope that we might get to come on another trip with the two of you on your next boat!!

Thanks Tim and Maya for an amazing time. This was my first time in a charter and I can’t have imagined a better experience! Thanks!

Capt. Tim and Maya,

Thank you for providing us with a wonderful week on Oceanfront Property as we toured the Virgin Islands. We really appreciate all the hard work that you provided “behind the scenes” to give us a seemingly stress-free week. The meals were wonderful – so fun for us toe enjoy sharing a meal together. Some favorites – avocado toast, fruit platter, shashuka for breakfast, lobster bisque and crab cakes for lunch, homemade pasta with scallops, and freshly caught mahi mahi – yum! Not to mention the incredible Key lime pie and crème brulee. Thank you for teaching us some new games to enjoy with our family. So fun!

It has been a pleasure spending the week with you. Thank you, Tim, for accommodating our requests to spend some time with our cousin on the other boat. We also appreciate all the cool stops we made during our week – Christmas Cove, Caneel Bay, Pizza Pi, Lime out...

We had a fabulous time!

With fondness and appreciation,

Magie and Dick Beers.

Our trip with Oceanfront property has been so amazing! Absolutely “AMAZEBALLS”! The food was incredible. Tim and Maya are the best people you will ever meet. Maya’s cooking 10/10 always. Tim‘s bus driving skills 6/10, could be better. Just kidding. We love you guys so much! Oh also did you know we swam with turtles and went on the most magical beach is filled with hermit crabs. But watch out for the sea urchins!! Also make sure to ask Timmy and Maya for the full moon party pack..sorry waning gibbous moon party pack I mean!

Captain Tim and Chef Maya, thank you for an incredible trip that we all will never forget. From Maya‘s meals to Tim’s captain skills – we enjoyed every moment. Many fun days and nights were had on this boat (some we may not fully remember). Truly, I can say this for all of us when I say we don’t want to leave! You two are incredible humans. Please keep in touch and we will see you again.

Aargh!
The Campbell Family.

Dear Tim and Maya,

This week aboard Oceanfront Property was truly a trip of a lifetime and you both exceeded our highest expectations! Tim’s captaining skills took us to glorious destinations and memorable experiences. Every destination was different with its own beauty and magic. We will forever remember the amazing snorkeling under the pier in Saint Croix and cocktails overlooking the crystal blue St. John waters. Your cocktails were out of this world Tim, thank you!

And, the food… you are such a talented and amazing chef, Maya! Every meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and a work of art. You have certainly encouraged us to “up“ our cooking game-your mastery of the use of herbs and seasoning is unsurpassed.

Thank you both for all the time and attention you gave to ensure that our trip was a magical, relaxing, adventurous, and unforgettable. We struck gold when we booked this trip with you as our crew… wow, just wow!

We hope you find your way to Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay~ If so, please let us know. We would love to take you on a boat ride, cook for you, and enjoy listening to Tim and Ralph playing guitars and crooning the night away!

With much fondness and gratitude,

The Leasure Family

Thank you so much for a fun trip! Captain Doyle and Chef Maya were amazing. The food was to DIE for! The activities, games, toys, and atmosphere were spectacular and something I’ll never forget. I will forever be grateful that this was our crew. You are both wonderful people and I will cherish our time together. I hope we get to meet again. Cheers to you.

Our Nae Kae adventures with Captain Doyle and Chef Maya were amazing. Everything was thoroughly thought through. The boat felt so relaxing and at home. Every meal we had was amazing. The water toys, beaches, islands and fishing were perfect for my family. We had everything we needed and never felt like we needed to leave the boat. Every aspect of the trip was perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Doyle and Maya for everything!

NAE KAE Maiden Voyage:
Absolutely best boat, best place, best crew!
Doyle and Maya took my family for a cruise of the BVI’s and what a wonderful trip we had. Capt. Doyle demonstrated sound knowledge of the BVI waters and special spots to hang out. Also, safety was a constant component of all we did. The boat is brand new; we were the maiden cruise. She is well designed for taking a family or friends on this type of trek on the water. It has plenty of space, nice toys for the kids and adults.
As for Maya she is an outstanding chef. The food she prepared was very tasty made from natural ingredients, making it fantastic. Pretty much everything she prepared was from scratch like homemade hamburger buns and homemade Pasta. We trolled lures off boat while underway and brought two beautiful Mahi Mahi’s aboard which were delicious. She also made unique cocktails, but if she offers to play cards with you be slightly cautious (lol)!
We learned that Capt. Doyle is an accomplished musician, so we got a few songs played and sang for us one evening, it was very magical. He is outstanding!
Overall, our family had a wonderful time and we would definitely do it again.

Chef Maya and Captain Doyle- thank you the trip of a lifetime! Everything has been perfect! The food has been fantastic! That key lime pie was to die for and I appreciate you taking my dietary restrictions into account and modifying things as needed! Such a relaxing time and an awesome mix of time on and off the boat. It’s hard to believe places like the Virgin Islands exist without seeing them with your own eyes! Sad to go back home tomorrow! Hope to sail with you both again and hope somehow our paths can cross in the future bye for now… ♥️
-Taska

Captain Doyle and Chef Maya what a week you gave us! Between the hospitality that you gave us all and the amazing views I do not know what else I could’ve asked for on this vacation. The two of you fit in so well with our group – if we had any other crew the vibe of the whole trip would have been totally different – glad we had you two! Doyle’s knowledge and sharing of life experience was very appreciated – Maya’s food would never disappoint and I’m excited to try to make some of her meals back home. Until our next charter!
-Angie

Words cannot describe the experience we have had Nae Kae over New Years. We love our time with you both and the special attention to detail you both put in was more than we could have ever imagined. Maya, your recipes were so well thought out and all included such special touches. There was nothing we would have changed. We so appreciate your attention to special/individual dietary needs and requests. You really have a special talent for cuisine!
Doyle has truly exceeded our expectations of a captain. Not only super capable and open to any itineraries but safe and proud of his boat and the comfort of his guests. Doyle, we had such a great time listening to your singing and guitar playing on our last night. It’s good to know you have a back up career thank you so much for making us all the most memorable trip ever!

Bob, Marnie, Drew, Jackie, George, Lynda, Jim, and Linda

Doyle and Maya

Thank you so much for making our first all inclusive trip the most amazing. Although not new to the islands, you both gave us a 5 star experience we will never forget. No detail was spared and fun was had by all. The food was exquisite and better than we could have ever ordered on shore. We are all truly sad to leave and consider you both now part of our friend group!

Russ and Gena Bunker

Doyle and Maya,

What an outstanding experience. We have taken this type of cruise before yet the level of professionalism and service that you exhibit is truly outstanding. You have an exceptional boat that is maintained to the highest level. Your owners should be proud that they have such an outstanding captain and chef. It is important to note that the food was great and always interesting and creative. Despite 30 knot winds all week there was never a question that we were in capable and competent hands with Doyle. Thank you for an exceptional experience!

Dave and Patty

Doyle and Maya thank you for safely guiding us through this beautiful part of the world with grace and professionalism. We couldn’t have asked for more from our hospitable crew. We enjoyed so many wonderful meals and the accommodations were excellent. You two have many talents, and it was a pleasure to have been the recipients of your caring effort… much appreciated. Jim only called you Mrya once this week Maya but you’re probably not surprised! So, mom and dad, keep up the great work! We wish you many blessings on your journeys… Great teamwork! Thank you, thank you!

Dee and Jim

Maya and Doyle Doyle,

Thank you for accommodating my enormous appetite. I was so fortunate to be taken care of by two of the most considerate people I’ve ever met this week. From sharing kite boarding boarding stories and tips, to healing via cucumber, I felt welcome, safe and comfortable. Between the tremendous sights and amazing food, this is a trip I will remember for the rest of my life huge. You two made something that was already incredibly special even more so. Hoping to see you both again sometime soon.

Zac

Maya-please send all the recipes to my mom-it was the greatest food ever.
