GROOVY

"Steve and Monika treated us like family. The kids learned to snorkel, we ate like royalty, and the Tobago Cays are something I'll never forget."

"Best week of our lives. Groovy is spotless, the food was extraordinary, and Captain Steve's sunset cocktails should be illegal."

"From the moment we stepped aboard in Bequia, every detail was taken care of. We're already planning next year."

"My favorite part of de week is when Karine and Karolyne fail in de dinguit. OOUUiiiiii Lexie (7y) et Theo (9y) HiHiHi HaHaHa Thanks for wonderful time we had. We will remember your kindness for a very long time. It has been dream vacation because of you, Karine."

"Thank you for everything This sailing adventure has been a blast and we've enjoyed every minute of the trip. It has been so fun with exploring all the islands and making new friends. Monika's cooking is amazing and she should be a private chef! Thank you to Steven for all his great sailing tips - it has helped so much. Sean, Fiadh, Caroline and Ciara. Another note from guests: Thank you for hosting us this week and being so welcoming to us and the kids. Steve the sailing tips were fantastic and we are so much more confident and independent now. Thank you Monika for keeping us so well fed and all so organized - it doesn't happen by magic!"

"The Groovy crew were our best sailing adventure yet! Thank you for making it the trip of a lifetime for us. The food and meals were amazing as well as the sailing and anchor spots from Steve. After 15 years, getting back to the Grenadines with our friends couldn't have been better. Steve, Debby, Leslie and Tim."

"Monika and Steve - what a wonderful way to celebrate my retirement. A terrific voyage. We enjoyed Steve's stories, expert navigation on both your parts and Monika's meals were top notch. Thank you for arranging a Lobster BBQ and all the other shoreside meals. Michele and Chris."

"Thank you for sharing the beautiful Grenadines with us. We had a wonderful time (snorkelling was our favourite). We enjoyed Monika's DELICIOUS cooking and Steve's knowledge and humour along the way. Janet and Peter"

"Confidently, we can say that it would have been impossible to find anyone better to guide and sail with us. Steve and Monika, you made this trip unforgettable. Steve your boating skills and easy-going attitude made us feel comfortable the entire way. Monika, you had us looking forward to every meal I think Shakshuka is going to be very common at our house when we get home. Thank you for hosting us. The Guilboard Family"

"What a wonderful and relaxing way for our family to bring in the new year! From snorkelling and sailing to lots (and lots) of book reading, dancing in the new year and Salt Whistle Bay, and the heavenly extra day in Tobago Cays, we loved the food, the conversation, the easy-going comfort of life on Groovy. Thank you for tolerating Ded's taste in music, Henry's politics and Lee Anne's garlic allergy! All with good grace, humor and good cocktails! Ded, Henry, Beatrice and Chris."

"Monika and Steve are so warm and welcoming. Their knowledge and skills to change tack due to high wind and weather made it so we didn't miss a beat. Monika you are a culinary master! Everything was delicious and well plated. BUT the piece de resistance - the Italian made coffee! Simply a treat in the morning :) Steve, you're a solid captain but we equally enjoyed conversation with you. We were all pleased for you to join us at meals. Thanks again for everything! Your operation is 'tip top'. We also very much appreciate that you are caring for the island's animals. Great work! The Tingley family."

"It's hard to put into words how wonderful the trip was. This was exactly what our family needed. I don't know how you are able to find the perfect balance between travel companions, hosts and being invisible. The places we went, the things we did, and the food (oh my god the food!) will be stories for us for years to come. Thank you so much for one of the best weeks our family has ever had. Clear skies and fair winds! Sarah, Dustin, Milan & Madelyn"

"What an unbelievable and out of the ordinary experience from one motley crew to another! The sailing, the vessel, the food, the warmth, the laughs, the shared stories, the music and jams will be treasured memories for us all. A thousand thanks and praises. -Ashleigh See you around the next campfire soon!! -Scott Cheers to you Monika and Steve for providing a wonderful experience for our crew, I hope our paths cross again in the near future. All the best -Kurt"
