Words fail to even begin to express how incredible this week has been. Maya´s cooking is a true gift and we feel blessed to have witnessed and savored true culinary perfection!
Capt. Doyle hes been nothing short of phenomenal - his expertise and his command of the boat have been amazing to watch.
We feel honored to have been a part of the history of Nae Kae!

Doyle and Maya!

Thanks for an awesome adventure this week. What a treat to get to sail with you. We will never get over this trip. The service was unlike anything we have done. Thank you for creating an awesome space for us to come together as friends. A great way to celebrate my 40th birthday! (And another birthday and anniversary :-))
Thanks for sharing such a special place with us!

Much love,
Carly, Lindsay, Collins, Matt, Jeffrey, Brett, Beth, and Alice

The crew was amazing. Doyle is extremely knowledgeable and always found the perfect spot. He was a perfect captain and having been on many boats myself as well as our guests...He was one of the absolute best.Maya was amazing.Her humor was perfect and engaged perfectly with the crew. Her food is off the charts and definitely the best in the Caribbean at sea!.

The yacht was very clean and they maintained it that way throughout.Their attention to detail was apparent but we were also able to live on the boat and enjoy all parts. we loved all aspects of the boat.

Food was amazing.We moved to half board and thought getting off the boat would be a good idea.We had some great meals and experiences off boat...Maya´s food was the best!! She was very accommodating and listened to everyone!!It was personalized and perfect.

Doyle and Maya,

Where do we even start? From #Beryl/schedule changes to laughing so hard until we cried at Doyle during the name game, there isn’t a memory we won’t cherish for many years to come! The seas were rocky, but the times were good! Thank you for celebrating our 50th with us. You made the entire trip a fantastic trip with our favorite people.
I will never look at a sheet of paper, the same again. Thank you for opening up to us and sharing food, discussions, and loads of comedy! Thank you so much! I am not as gay as Brittan, but I am way more exciting! It’s not goodbye it’s see ya later! So grateful and thank you for answering all my questions, and inquiries!
The cookies! So good! The food and the steak and the rancheros and the ceviche and more good appetizers and cookies, so good! Can’t wait to sail again !

Maya and Doyle,

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip! You made everything enjoyable for our celebration. The impressive meals and going over and above for Aaron‘s dietary needs. Karen’s birthday was very special. Thank you for delivering the cake too! It was delicious. Beautiful boat, beautiful places. The trip met all expectations. Thanks for putting up with all our partying fun. We all wish you the best of luck with your new improved cat. And for the record, Arabian horses are not only the smartest, but also the prettiest.
Thank you again, stay juicy.

Love,
Karen, Justin, Julie, Dave, Dana, Erin, Bloody Bob and Jen

Doyle and Maya,
Thank you for welcoming us into your home. You treat this boat with lots of care, love and respect and it shows!
We started this awesome vacation as strangers, and I feel we are leaving as friends! This has been an experience of a lifetime. I appreciate you learning all the little details of love makes each of us feel a little more special.
Maya… All I can say, is you are one HELL of a cook. Fabulous… each meal.
Discovering the different islands and learning about BVI was another highlight!
Doyle makes sure you see all of the best spots! Sorry for all the questions!! And for bringing Jack!
Enjoyed it all!!
Mark and Julie

Doyle and Maya,
I seriously don’t know where to start! I knew this trip would be amazing but you guys blew those expectations out of the water! All of my research did not even compare to this experience. You are both amazing at your jobs and amazing as beautiful people too. I only hope our paths cross again somewhere in the future. The beautiful places you took us, the amazing food, the peaceful and relaxing days that turned Into beautiful night. All the fun and laughter and we are so glad we all finally figured out each others humor!!! You work like a well oiled machine together and the eight of us will forever remember this trip and how you both made it even better! Remember, if you ever get to SoCal, we have lots of room for you to stay, and you won’t have to do a damn thing… Just relax like we did. Thank you for the best vacation I’ve ever been on! Keep in touch!
Sammi

Doyle and Maya,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for one spectacular vacation. Giving 110% all day, every day as you both do is no easy task yet you both flow seamlessly together and make it appear a piece of cake!
Anticipating our needs is a knack you also both have. Doyle– I believe you may know Jack a tad better than I might. What a gift for seeing people and perhaps that is part of the reason this trip is so special.
Each and every spot we anchored, each and every meal we ate, just kept getting better and better. Maya, your talents know no bounds.
All the best wishes,
Lynne and Jack

Dearest Doyle and Maya,
Thank you both for an incredible trip filled with unforgettable memories. Both of you were a perfect team and made us feel so welcome the minute we stepped on the Nae Kae. This trip has far exceeded expectations and we will definitely come back for another excursion in the near future.
Doyle, your command of the boat was flawless and made us feel so comfortable and safe. Thank you for putting up with our little nuances and especially for the priceless drone flying lessons.
Maya, thank you for your exquisite culinary skills, for delighting our tastebuds, and for the many wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Your attention for detail did not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for you!
I hope both of you will consider visiting Costa Rica in your next travel endeavors.
Pura Vida,
Steve and Elizabeth

Thank you so much for a wonderful week! We thoroughly enjoyed the family time, sun, and getting to know you all! We will definitely be back! Doyle, thank you for all your humor and expert captaining, Maya for your fabulous cuisine and Caitlin for your creative cocktails! Until next time!
Thank you!
Shelby, Brock, Maci, Braden, Hannah and Blake

Maya & Doyle this has truly been the most amazing and relaxing experience of our lives. Everything from the food to the weather to the crystal clear waters did not disappoint. The food was always a delicious surprise. We loved trying new fresh vibrant flavors. Doyle going snorkeling with you and finding a rock to jump from was a highlight of Lee Bay, which we think was our favorite. We feel so blessed to have gotten to go on this unique experience and we will never forget how well you both took care of our group. Maya- recipes please! Especially the desserts!
All the best to you both-
Laura & Mike

Cowboy Doyle + Maya-
We are speechless- which is rare. You both made this week extra special and we are beyond grateful. We’ve been on this trip five times now and this trip was the best! Thank you, thank you for making this week incredible. We will cherish all of the super special moments. If you are ever on the East Coast or in Charlotte, please visit us.
Thank you! ❤️ Becca & Frank

Doyle & Maya
Thank you so much for an amazing week! You made celebrating our 20th anniversary and unforgettable experience. We saw beautiful coves, fish, water, etc. The food was such a treat, our pallets have never experienced such great cuisines! You made this trip our #1 vacation of all time and we will be back!
❤️ Kevin & Corry

Dear Maya & Doyle,
Thank you for the most incredible trip of our lives. You made us feel like part of your family for the most incredible week of our lives. We cannot thank you all enough. See you in Lauderdale and beyond!! Everything was purrrfect (MEOW).
Yeehaw! Brittany & Erick

Wow... This experience has been amazing! I´m not sure we could pick a favorite... But the snorkeling is close! This trip was truly spectacular but with the great service and food... Indescribable...the food was truly 5 stars as were the drinks. Most of all, you made this a life memory for all of us that we undoubtedly will never forget.Thanks for that and for putting up with this crazy crew.
Ryan and Candy

Thoroughly enjoyed a week of sun and fun with friends and family. Memories to last a lifetime! The weather cooperated, a few showers here and there, but when you are sailing, what´s a little more moisture in the air? The crew was very meticulous in the care of the boat plus the passengers. They were informed and always ready to lend a hand when needed. Sun, sand, snorkeling, stingrays and starfish. The S´s is have it! Amazing week, amazing trip, amazing memories,
Billy and Claire

A week with good friends is always a treat. Because it always includes a lot of laughter and recalling memories. Friends are truly one of God´s gifts. However, when that week is part of a bucket list trip- well, those stories and laughs will be visited again and again. To say that the Nae Kae made that special would be an understatement. The Nae Kae is a beautiful, comfortable, well kept vessel. This is all because of Doyle and Maya! It is wonderful to be under their care. The food out of that tiny galley is truly amazing and the way they work as a team was part of what made the week so relaxed! Thank you to you both for taking such good care of us this week. And for graciously tolerating our laughter and jokes and drinking LOL! Wishing you the best in the future and you know we would be delighted, if you always compare us to your other guests.You know you love us!
Laura and David

Cpt Doyle & Maya -
Absolutely amazing week of adventure, food, laughs, sailing, sites, drinks, and meeting you both. We did it all in one short week and are forever grateful. The BVI are beautiful but you both are amazing people and truly made the trip! We hope to see you in Steamboat or Bend- you are always welcome!
Until then-
Brian

Doyle and Maya-
Wow! That doesn´t begin to cover how this trip played out. From the moment we stepped on board you made us feel welcomed and comfortable.You have created a special space and truly brought us into your home. We Loved hearing your stories, getting to know you both, and experiencing the beauty of the BVI. The roses…Maya´s food... appetizers on the bow, dinner up top (felt like celebrities), the snorkeling and other water fun, watching Doyle kite surf, getting a taste of both “touristy” at Willie T’s to experiencing the wild nature at the Bubbling Pools. I loved watching the sails unfurl, seeing the dolphins, eels and rays. The time spent with dear friends and making new ones in you both was priceless. Next time we will let Brian win the Euchre tournament.

Thank you both again for a magical week. You’re always welcome in Keystone, CO (or capital S capital T capital L, but that seems a lot less glamorous than life down in the BVI) any time. We´d love to share our slice of the world with you-As long as none expects meat like Maya´s!!
A toast to you both with “mini-beers”
Casey and Brent :-)
P.S. Doyle - Iguanas do have brains! :)

´Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on
our hearts, and we are never ever the same.´ - Flavia

Doyle & Maya - We are all so very grateful for the energy and heart that you poured into each ofus to make this such a memorable adventure. My rose and thorn intersected as it was truly amazing to have the trip go so fast and flawlessly with 10 people but flying by too fast for us... aspect of the journey felt relaxed, easy and therefore very enjoyable as we navigated the BVI islands and the fun each had to offer. It was a perfect combo of relaxation and doing! Obviously, we can´t say enough about the food...every meal was incredible and Maya spoiled us and amazed us with her creativity in the kitchen. Seriously we’d buy the Maya-Nae Kae cookbook :)) And Doyle´s stealthy dance around the boat was confidence inspiring and made us all feel safe and comfortable the entire time! We hope that Denver is on both of your travel schedules in the near future. We´d love to host you (although the food may not be as spectacular). Again, thank you both for welcoming us into your home, sharing your beautiful surroundings, navigating an unforgettable trip and rewarding us with your friendship!
Here´s to more adventures to come!
- Drew & Kate
* Special thanks for accommodating Purdue in the final four!

Thank you, Maya & Doyle, for such an amazing week & for welcoming us into your home. We appreciate so much the attention to detail, care, and love of the islands you shared with us. Our return after 30 years was far more than we could. ever imagine. We will treasure the times in beautiful coves, exploring and enjoying the water, the amazing sunsets, fantastic meals, but most of all the memories created on board with all of us, especially the two of you. Hopefully it won’t take us another 30 before our next visit.
Best to you both -
Tina

Doyle and Maya,
Thank you so much for a week of incredible, life-long memories! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew than you two. You showed us the most beautiful places, kept us safe, well fed and contributed to many laughs!

Below are some of our favorite memories:
-absolutely demolishing the boys in Fishbowl
-watching Colin trying to float
-all of Maya’s cooking
-Maya’s signature drink
-learning to relax

Thanks for everything!
The M Family

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for the amazing week we had. I loved getting to know you both better and getting a glimpse into your lives. I’m so grateful to have experienced such an amazing place with my favorite people and I thank you so much for giving me that experience. Best wishes and safe travels.

Xoxo,

Syd

Dear Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for such a special experience, this has been the best trip of my life. It was so special to experience one of the most beautiful places in the whole world but getting to know both of you has been equally special. You are both truly such special souls, and what you create on this boat together can only be described as magic. My heart is so full leaving this week and I hope you know how once in a lifetime this experience was for all of us. I hope we can meet again soon and until then I am sending you all the mermaid magic! Thank you Maya, for your outstanding meals, which have truly ruined all other foods for me, and for all of your laughter and kindness. Thank you Doyle for your thoughtfulness and strength as a captain and for always making us laugh while keeping us safe.

Much love,
Lucie

P.S. we’re so sunburnt our cats won’t recognize us

Doyle and Maya,

How can we ever express on paper the extraordinary, larger than life week of perfection we experienced on Nae Kae with you‽ You crafted each day to be special and centered around our hopes for the most spectacular week we could imagine. Your thoughtfulness each day, each meal, each activity was evident. As ours was a 60’s cruise, with four of us having a birthday party, one each evening, you were able to create a special event every night. We laughed, we danced, snorkeled, dined, and explored with such joy. Thank you both for welcoming us into your home and showing us the beauty of the USVI’s and the BVI’s. We can never forget these happy memories.

Love, the Arnold and Baker Family

Captain Doyle and Chef Maya,

Words can’t express how grateful we are for the most amazing week. If you bottled joy that best describes how I felt and the energy on board. Thank you for helping us create new lifelong memories, you are a part of our family now! You two are world class and make such an amazing team. My mom turned 60 this year so it was really special to make her feel loved and spend this time all together. Please come visit us in Alabama anytime. We’d love to have you for a proper football game. Roll Tide!

Maya-Doyle, such a fabulous trip! Exceeded expectations. I felt safe, entertained, well-fed and spoiled. You do great work, and have the best office in the world!

Richard

Thank you for the most amazing trip! I don’t remember another time I just thought of some thing I might want and it was handed to me :-) what a great week! Bushwackers forever

❤️ Carol

PS-Chef Maya is wonderful!! Gourmet food!! Better than the restaurants!! Captain Doyle docks like no other!

Doyle and Maya, thank you for making our first BVI trip one to always remember! Loved the Supmarines, snorkeling, and we will never forget swimming to Soggy Dollar. Maya, you are an amazing chef! The food was top-notch! Painkillers were the best!

Janel and Jeff

Captain Doyle and Cheff Maya, what an amazing week our group had. None of us had sailed before, and you’ve ignited a passion in all of us to do this again. The food was amazing! We felt like we were dining at a Michelin star restaurant each night. Thank you, Maya! Doyle, thank you for the amazing itinerary and spots we stayed each night and your willingness to go off script when we had a request. All of our friends back home are very jealous and most likely future clients. Thanks again for the trip/experience of a lifetime.

Steven and Gretchen

Dude this was the most amazing trip ever thanks to both of you. We can not thank you enough for all your efforts. It really made this an epic experience for us. We´ve never been on a boat trip like this before & didn´t know what to expect but this topped everything we could have thought of. You made the scenery perfect & are just the best from Paije´s coloring, Rebecca´s day drinking to Magic´s irritation meals, snacks & random bursts of energy everything was perfect. We laughed & more than we have in a long time & truly treasure this time we had. Thank you for putting up with our pack of misfits. I hope our paths cross again & if you are ever in Seattle you are so welcome to stay with us!

❤️ Sam (Ritu-Tanmeet) & Deepika Nelak

Dear Doyle + Maya,

We can´t thank you enough for creating such a magical week for our group. We knew from the moment we stepped onto the beautifully decorated boat that we were in for a treat and you not only did not disappoint but went above and beyond to help make every minute of the trip extra special. The beautiful scenery was surpassed only by the gourmet meals and kind gestures you told to make us feel welcome and cared for - from delicious jello shots for our dance party to ensuring we didn´t step on sea urchins to everything in between. Thank you for being so amazing - we will be back for sure! ❤️

Sara & Bryce Bates

Dear Doyle & Maya,

Thank you for being the individuals that you are and for bringing all of your incredible skills and attributes to create an amazing week for our eclectic group. Your patience, kindness, thoughtful caring and wonderful sense of humor made this time very special. Creating and curating spaces in and around the boat for a choose your own adventure vacation to meet everybody´s needs—both those they expected and those needs they didn´t even know existed. You are an exceptional team, and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making that teamwork seem so natural and effortless.

What an incredible week of memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Love & hugs. Please look us up if you´re in Maine.

David Wiedrich + Beth Blazich

Then there is the food and hospitality, gift after gift of service and love. We felt the love all around :-) thank you both for sharing your beautiful gifts and talents.

Love, Cathy and Rizzy

Doyle and Maya, you took such excellent care of us. You both made sure we had the best vacation ever. It was such a joy to be a part of this trip. All the memories and special moments and laughter shared with exceptional friends. Your hospitality, teamwork, and confidence made this trip. Perfect. Absolutely wonderful! Experience of a lifetime.

Lori and Dale

Wow! What a trip of a lifetime. We will never forget it. Incredible hospitality, food, sailing and accommodations. Nothing better. From the bottom of our hearts. Thank you so much and God bless you both.

Paul and Julie

This trip has exceeded all of our expectations. Maya and Doyle you both made us feel so at home for the week. Your professionalism is outstanding, but we loved hanging and playing cards with both of you were just chatting. This trip was so relaxed and we really appreciate exploring, and Agata and learning new things… We look forward to booking with you again next year! Much love for both of you. Food was best ever!

Such a magical week! Couldn’t imagine a better vacation! Doyle and Maya took great care of us and set the bar higher than ever. Hope to sail with them again as soon as we can. Thanks for the royal treatment, amazing food and fun hang. Such a blessing! Love you guys!!!

-Deana Carter

Our week couldn’t quite get the justice it deserves with just a few words here… It truly brought us so much joy, relaxation and laughter. Thank you for every element you provided to create this incredible retreat. The five star meals, the treatment you gave us and every detail was truly immaculate. Thank you big!! Can’t wait to do it again!

Beautiful boat, beautiful islands, but what made this experience member was our crew, Doyle and Maya! We were welcome from the moment we set foot on the boat, and not just the Champagne!!! Their instructions and guidelines were detailed, and made us feel comfortable, but also relaxed and safe, the food was amazing! And the experiences were incredible! Thank you both so much! I plan to be back again!

From the moment we set foot on the boat, the Nae Kae felt like home. I always say life is all about the people you cross paths with and getting to know Doyle and Maya over the last week has been truly a pleasure. Too many special moments to mention, maybe I will just say thank you for creating such a beautiful environment for the Norehad family (+) to create lifelong memories. Thanks for everything! Let’s get Nae Kae’d!

A perfect week on the Nae Kae! It was a full week of laughter, sun, snorkeling and incredible food. Maya and Doyle, you have officially become part of the Norehad clan. You both made the boat feel like home from the start and we are incredibly sad to leave. A few highlights of the week…

– Maya’s amazing ability to cook gluten free

-New Year’s Eve, dancing and 360 photo booth

– buzzing around Anegada on mopeds.

– the painkillers!!!

– Doyle’s New Year’s eve, solo-spectacular, ukulele performance

– spending lots of quality time together.

We will definitely be back and send many friends to the Nae Kae.

What an incredible trip thank you Doyle and Maya for making this such an unforgettable experience, and for all the laughs and fun along the way. Formal apologies for Sean breaking the bathroom door, hipper, and for losing the rubber yeti bottom. Cheers to 2024, I hope you both have a wonderful year .

Maya and Doyle,

Thank you for the most memorable 40th birthday a girl could ask for. Unequivocally, the trip of a lifetime. I don’t think there was ever a moment on our trip where we weren’t laughing or smiling.

The sensational food, incredible itinerary, and the access to everything on board really made the trip extra special. But most importantly, your warm and welcoming personalities. We felt like family immediately.

Thanks for the memories!

Amazing captain Doyle and Maya, the “unflappable one”…

This has been about the most incredible week of my life!!! If I had a bucket list, this would have been on it for sure!! Spending a week with my children has been so satisfying to my heart! I am so enjoyed getting to know Maya and Doyle!! Such lovely, kind and caring people!!! The Lord bless you, and keep you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and give you peace.

Love,

Donna

Dear Maya and Doyle,

Thank you for an amazing experience aboard the Nae Kae. You both made the experience unforgettable with all the little extras along with the amazing food and beach time. Necker island was an added bonus Dash completely surprising! A highlight I won’t forget! Blessings on both of you for all you do for those who come to the BVI’s.

Joani

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you both for creating an unforgettable experience for our family. So many memories made on our journey through the BVI. Your thoughtfulness, attention to details, amazing meals, and overall care for every person on this charter made it a trip will never forget,

Incredible experience,

Mike

Dearest Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for such a memorable trip for the six of us! We not only enjoyed every meal, game, swim and sunset… but the safety measures were bar none.

On a personal note, Maya, thank you for helping me when I got sick. Your kindness shines. Doyle, never ever stop playing your music. You’re blessed with such talent.

Please contact all six of us. If you were Everett in or near Sarasota, we’d love to host y’all.

Stay safe, stay full of love, and most of all stay grateful for all the many gifts you give to this world.

With love,
Valerie, Brian, Jerica, Shannon, Mathew and Jen

This was our very first sailing trip and Capt Doyle and Chef Maya made our experience simply unforgettable. Both were kind, patient, attentive to every wish and whim of our group. Chef Maya is a treasure, her culinary skills are beyond fantastic. I didn´t know what to expect but I certainly didn´t expect freshly bakes breads, hand made tortillas, focaccia bread, to name a few ´made from scratch´ items. It will be so hard to get back to reality and have to do groceries, prep, and cook on my own again lol! Captain Doyle was fun to talk to about his sailing experiences. I appreciated his attentiveness to our safety when we were swimming and playing in the water. Thank you Nae Kae owners and Doyle and Maya for an amazing experience. I hoper we can return again one day with the rest of our family.

Fantastic meals, personable conversations, breathtaking views, and service from the heart. I deeply appreciate you two and know you have great things in store for you future. Much love.

Lost in the ocean, gasping for breath, sinking down, then two hands reach in and pull me out. That´s what it felt like going on this trip with Captain Doyle and Chef Maya. Not physically, but mentally. I really enjoyed our time together how brief! Wish you all the best and hope our paths cross again!

Beautiful sailing trip with my family! Words cannot describe the breathtaking beauty, exceptional service and attention to detail. Thank you captain Doyle and Chef Maya for this wonderful experience and unforgettable memories.

Y´all took such good care of us this week! Thanks for making it an unforgettable trip and all the tips, recipes and jokes along the way!

As three couples, marking a retirement, a first grandchild, and 45 years of marriage, we were anxious for an experience to match those milestones. Wow! Thank you Doyle and Maya for being our guides on our Caribbean adventure. From the moment you made us take off our shoes, your welcoming nature helped start the celebration. Maya, the gourmet meals, and their creative presentations were incredible. Doyle, the destinations and experiences on and off the boat were extraordinary. Thank you for sharing part of your personal lives. We consider ourselves very lucky to have you both as our Nae Kae crew!

The Youngs, Achtens, and Koglers

Maya and Doyle have made this trip the best vacation I’ve ever been on! We had so much fun and the food was unbelievable… I will truly miss it forever. They are the most generous and welcoming people and help my family create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much!

Thank you both, Maya and Doyle, for such a wonderful trip. The food and hospitality was amazing. The cleanliness was top-notch. Working around my gluten sensitivity. Helped me to have a better week. Doyle you were so patient and helpful. Always taking the time to answer questions. Thanks to both of you. Here’s to a great finish to your season. God bless you and keep you safe.

Thank you so much Maya and Doyle! The trip was perfect and it’s all thanks to you guys. The food was unbelievable and I was blown away every meal. I had such a great time, thank you for making it so special.

Sailing the VI with such an amazing and experienced crew made this trip absolutely perfect. This is my first sailing trip and I don’t think I could do it any other way. This peaceful week was everything I needed and everything I didn’t even know I needed. Spending time with my daughters and nieces just talking and laughing was my favorite part of each evening. Thank you Doyle for taking care of everyone on our boat and making this trip about us. Maya, a pen in my hands cannot describe how much we enjoyed your creations.*
We will be craving them until we see you again. This week we were the envy of the ocean! Thanks for everything. *But the pictures we sent to my brother’s boat sure made them jealous.

This trip was by far our best family vacation, especially because of our phenomenal crew, Maya and Doyle. They took every measure to provide exceptional hospitality, safety, and also really fun company! They were spot on with recommendations, menus, and information about our surroundings. We would come back again, and again!

The Feely Family

Maya and Doyle,

Our seven day sailing trip was fantastic! Thank you for the memories! It was great to spend time with our family and friends. Maya, the meals/snacks/apps were the best we’ve ever had! Not only delicious, but the presentation was second to none. Loved the afternoon, “fancy cocktails.” Doyle, your boat is spectacular, thanks for always keeping on an eye on us- :). This trip was just what Sam and I needed peaceful, beautiful and fun!

Thanks for everything,

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you for the exceptional service you provided! You made this such a remarkable experience. Loved the meals, especially desserts! Your teamwork was commendable and we loved how you both truly cared for us!

Sincerely,

The four of us, Stefan, Angela, Ann-Christine, and Leah, were all so excited for this trip, and I’m certain that our expectations were exceeded. The amount of kindness and motivation you showed us were incredible and we all felt very much at home. The boat is almost as pretty as Maya‘s pretty, (and of course yummy) dishes and cocktails. We really enjoyed being fed without any breaks and getting to lay in the sun while Doyle finds us beautiful bays to swim and also spend the night. It was also so pleasant and fun to always eat with you and gossip-don’t worry, we won’t snitch. Although we only played fishbowl once, it was still extremely fun and I still think about the delicious paper I got to chew for about 10 minutes (Leah).

Overall, we could have not wished for a better crew or boat. You two are such great and interesting people and definitely made this one of our best and most memorable vacations. Thank you very much for that. Remember, if you ever need interns or have free beds, feel free to call Ann-Christine and Leah. Hopefully we’ll see you guys on your next boat. We wish you all the best and thank you so much for everything!

Ditto, everything that Leah said is 110% true. You guys are the best and we wish we could have stayed longer than just a week. But in German there’s a saying, “Man sieht sich immer zweimal im Leben,” (you always see each other twice in life) - so we will see you soon (hopefully)!

Doyle and Maya,

Thank you so much for an amazing and incredible week! The BVI’s were spectacular. The food… Still speechless, as I try to articulate the words to describe how tasty everything was. Thank you Doyle for the lobster hunt off of Christmas Cove and for keeping us safe. Your care for all of us and creativity that you put into the pirate treasure map for the kids was especially thoughtful. Being here in the BVI’s was wonderful, but both of you made this time extra special! Thank you so much!

Maya and Doyle,

Thank you for all the great memories this week. Our family will cherish the time we were able to spend sailing and getting to know you both. The treasure hunt will be talked about for years and our kids enjoy trying new food. As a parent, it was great seeing you both put in time to make this time special . We hope to make it back sometime soon.

Chef Maya and Captain Doyle,

Thank you so much for all the thought and effort you put into making our trip so special. Every meal was spectacular – taking everyone’s allergies and taste into consideration, (even small children). Every stop was an adventure and some relaxation, so we felt like everyone got a little of what they were hoping for, which must be difficult with a group this big. Thank you so much for having fun with us at game times and sharing your fun side as well as taking such good care of us, this whole time. You are both treasures in the Islands!

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!!

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

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, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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… ♥️

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

Tim and Maya,

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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..

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!

Tim and Maya
This has truly been a spectacular week, all thanks to the two of you. From the incredible meals, drinks to you hospitality – showing us the best of the islands, to the fun game nights – you two are part of the family! We knew this week was going to be great but you two made it amazing in every way Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. This isn´t goodbye but see you later!

Capt Tim and Maya
Thank you so much for the amazing week of sailing, dining, and fun! It was truly a memorable experience that ill never forget. The hospitality, meals, and drinks were all exceptional. The knowledge of the islands and showing us around were top notch. I enjoyed this trip immensely because of you two! Hope to see you all again!
March 2022
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,

January 2022
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

Captain Tim & Chef Maya! Wow! What a spectacular trip! I can´t believe how much everything exceeded our expectations. You are both so accommodating and so incredibly kind! The itinerary you planned was perfect! There is not one thing we would change. Such a great way to see the USVI. Now lets discuss the food! Every meal was truly out of this world. We have never eaten amazing meals 7 days in a row! Thank you for all the thought, time and consideration you put into makign this a once in a lifetime trip! We are appreciative! Getting to know you both was fun! You are wonderful people. Thanks too for the fun game night! :) You´re talented and gifted in what you guys do. Thank you for a special week!

Thank you so much for the past couple days. They have been very fun. I love all the pictures I have. You both have been so fun to be with. Thank you so much for everything you have done.

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!!
