De Lisle III Guest Reviews
Charter Guest - PNG - July 2024
Jo,
We all have had a great time. I thought the crew was just incredible - I am so glad I trusted my instincts and went with the most seasoned crew over the new more modern yacht. Dan and his crew organized incredible, unique, and fun activities including very special interactions with the locals and special festive events on the De Lisle III. We had yacht Olympics, team game night, my son’s graduation, Fourth of July, and my wife’s birthday. Even more important, Dan kept the physical activities rolling like scuba, fishing, and water skiing every day just the way we like it. In addition, the interaction with the locals filled with happy little kids were lifetime experiences. David and Kila got us incredible access to their lives and the warmest of welcomes. We got to crew on their outriggers in a race and play soccer with them - none of us will ever forget it. We also did an incredible hike up to a waterfall with locals helping us the whole way. Finally, the fishing was fantastic, we caught more and larger fish than we have on the last 5 trips combined.
Dan is a wonderful host and Captain and Elle is an outstanding Chief Stew. Tyler, Poppy, Jess, and Tony are also all excellent and a real pleasure to have with us. I think Nigel is one of our best chefs ever and we experienced many. Tony gave us a wonderful tour of the engine room and even let me do an oil change… kidding. The entire crew is good professional and incredibly good natured.
