Dear Mr. Thomas

I am writing you with regards to our recent charter of your sailing yacht the Serengeti. I must admit, as a lifelong power vessel owner, I was somewhat sceptical of spending extended time on a sailing vessel. As active members of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club we have happily coexisted with the sailing fraternity but have never found the desire to go cruising on a sailing yacht. As it turns out our stay on your vessel has changed our outlook towards sailing. Granted this change was made possible by experiencing sailing on a 75 foot classic sailing yacht. The ride in a sea off the Canary Islands was very comfortable and surprisingly swift. We felt right at home be it at anchor or sailing along the coast.

The experience was further enhanced by the very comfortable accommodation and the professionalism of your crew. The food was terrific and plentiful. Of course my favorite part of the vacation was enjoying your large teak covered aft deck for meals and lounging. This was a terrific vantage point as we sat off the beach and enjoyed the surroundings. We also found your tender very handy for a cruise around a harbor or a run to the beach.

My wife and I are looking forward to enjoying your yacht again as it relocates to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean in the future. The challenge for us will be to explain this change of course to our power vessel friends!

Thank you again and all the best of voyages.

Dear Mr. Thomas,

I write in regards to the one week charter that friends and myself undertook on the Serengeti this October in the Canary Islands.

While your crew were professional and efficient, the food delicious it was the Serengeti herself that will engrave the lasting memory.

Serengeti exuded an atmosphere of casual relaxation that transported us back to an imagined carefree classic era.

Afternoon and evening dining was by choice outdoors on your lovely and spacious aft deck which nightly rang with conversation and laughter. It seemed that Serengeti herself was a participant in our camaraderie and stories and perhaps added a few to her storied career.

Thank you for the opportunity to experience Serengeti's fine pedigree and we look forward to making future arrangements for another adventure in the Caribbean in 2008.

Kind regards,

Shane Lunny
