Sail on Phoenix

05/05/2022

Captain Paul from the start was very easy to communicate with and before we even booked, we had a rough itinerary of our journey around Martinique. My son (11) and I went down for a one-week adventure. (should have been longer) Once onboard Captain Paul made us both feel very comfortable. He gave us a quick run down of the boat and its workings and we set sail to amazing beaches, snorkelling, waterfalls, etc... (Due to covid restrictions we just sailed around the Island) I had just completed my ASA sailing courses and was eager to take the Helm. (Which he allowed me to do!) The boat is well equipped with lots of room for a family of four. My son and I really enjoyed our time with Captain Paul and would recommend this to a family that wants to have a trip to remember. I know we will... (if you have RV'd before very similar lifestyle but on the water) Good Luck on your Adventure!

Review received from charter guest Allan from Philadelphia who booked through VRBO :

My son and I had longed to take an adventure together... and sailing was consistent with our interests. A charter on the Phoenix to sail aboard the Phoenix around the west coast of Martinique under the guidance of Capt Paul Baars proved to exceed our expectations. Since the first opportunity to reach out to Capt Paul to gain information into chartering his vessel we were greeted by a kind soul, who was responsive, courteous and willing to please in designing an itinerary which check all our wish-list boxes for sailing in the Caribbean, developing our rusty sailing skills, enjoying an aggressive sailing schedule during the day while taking in adventurous snorkeling venues, breathtaking sunsets, restful nights with extensive Spotify playlists, peaceful nights, enjoying good food and drink and good company. Capt Paul met every expectation and challenge with style and grace accompanied by good humor. Always willing to give of himself, he catered to our well intentioned (but innocently overstated) sailing skills, proved to be a gifted instructor, and always accommodated our requests without reservation. The Phoenix is a first class vessel, properly maintained and kept tidy by its Capt. Her condition is indicative of the skipper who takes such pride in her maintenance and upkeep. Her galley served us well. We absolutely have no complaints with our charter and sincerely have plans to revisit the Capt and Phoenix in the near future – but this time to bring our significant others to introduce our loved ones to the wonderful time afforded this charter and to make new memories. I am one who typically discounts reviews not always certain they can be believed. Take it from me, this review IS accurate, and we are indebted to Capt Paul for being an accommodating and pleasant host while enabling our dream of an exciting charter vacation be realized. Well done Capt Paul, and thank-you.

Here I am in Sint Maarten. Phoenix is getting a new engine on monday and then we will get the hell out of here before a hurricane sinks her for good . On saturday my crew ( sons Peter and Tristan) will be complete and we will go south stopping wherever Covid restrictions allow us at various islands. Our end goal is Grenada where it is heaving with cruisers hiding from the hurricane danger. Looking forward to joining the party there. .
