"They (the client) never give any details of their trips. But this time they were extremely happy with the boat and the captain!"
"We had the pleasure of chartering Sailing Yacht IKIGAI for our clients for a two-week trip September 2023. IKIGAI exceeded all expectations of the guests. Feedback indicated she was immaculate and beautifully appointed, offering both comfort and style throughout our journey. However, what made their experience truly exceptional was the crew. From the very beginning, they were attentive, friendly, and accommodating to all their requests and the many guest changes. Their warm professionalism created an inviting and relaxed atmosphere onboard. The principal guest remarked that it was "the trip of a lifetime," and the other guests expressed their desire to charter IKIGAI again in the future. Great boat and great experience for everyone, including us, the booking brokers."
"We had a great time, the Ikigai is a beautiful sailing boat and Joren & Lotte took great care of us. We preferred the most secluded bays which we stayed at which were absolutely fantastic and felt very special. Some of the initial out dining options were not that great but Joren / Lotte found some better ones towards the end. Dining on board was excellent. We had a great time diving as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thanks again for your help organising"
