ISOLABLUE

"The wonderful painting by one of the guests, summarising their vacation on the floating home Isolablue. Laurent is represented in the sails and Astrid in the middle of the painting with hearts and a bright star :) Chad is wing foiling and Tati snorkelling."

"Astrid and Laurent, The Salty Six have all made it back home safely. I wanted to personally let you know how much our week together meant to me. It was more than a vacation, it was an experience I will treasure forever. Your love for sailing and creating delicious meals is contagious and shows in everything you do. Your story of how isolablue came to be is inspiring. Your patience when we asked a million questions was wonderful and allowed us to learn more about the sailing world. I feel blessed to have met you and getting to know you a little was just as wonderful as all of the beautiful sights we saw. If you ever find yourselves in Arkansas we would be honored to host you. A tout a l’huere. (Sorry, I don’t know how to make my keyboard do accent grave where it belongs) :)"

"To our friends Laurent & Astrid, The « Salty Six » are so grateful to you for a magical week in your lovely home. We are so very glad you opened our eyes to St. Vincent and the Grenadines - and WOW !!! How awesome it has been ! Astrid - you are a 5-Star Chef, we are very grateful for all the adaptations you made to accommodate our food needs / dietary restrictions. Every meal was pure magic. Our favorites were the daily juices (particularly guava-banana) and of course the Lolo’s in the evening (Lolo before wine - everything is fine). Mark & Grant loved diving with you Laurent and the snorkelling, particularly in Tobago Cays was remarkable. Mark (& Beth) will always remember being beached on the rock at St. Vincent and is now well aware of the hand signals needed to indicate distress. Jason was in heaven learning about sailing & the boat - and we have the pictures to show it ! Thank you for taking us to the Lobster BBQ - what a fantastic night. But more than all of this, thank you for expertly opening your world to all of us. For the entire week we wanted for nothing and truly felt like we were with family. You are forever in our memories and our dreams as we fondly remember one of the best weeks - EVER ! All our love,"

"Dearest Astrid & Laurent, Once again, you have created a magical space for us to spend precious time together as a family. You are so intentional in how you take care of us - it leaves a beautiful, indelible mark on our family. This trip, we loved that Laurent introduced our girls to the wonders of scuba diving. I think his patient teaching opened up a new passion for them. His open, easy smile will stay with us until we are with you again. And to our Astrid, who my daughters think may be an angel, thank you for every single thoughtful meal and detail. Thank you for your sage advice to our girls. I am ready to go home with renewed aspiration to prepare meals with creativity and love. You are two of our most favorite people and we can’t wait to see you again. With love, This has been the best trip. I loved celebrating Laurent’s birthday dinner. I hope that we can come back and get scuba certified next year (if possible). You both are amazing people that are very welcoming. I have never had a bad moment on this boat. Thank you for making an amazing environment and my favorite vacation. Thank you Astrid for being so accommodating during meals. V"

"Another very successful charter on Isolablue - see comments in guest book below. Broker's comment: Thank you Astrid and Laurent for providing yet another amazing charter! We can always trust that our clients are in the best hands when aboard Yacht Isolablue with you two."

"Wow! Where do we begin? If we had prior expectations they were completely blown away by Astrid and Laurent. From the moment we arrived on board they made us feel welcome and at home. Listening to your stories and knowledge of the islands and sailing adventures kept us all intrigued at every moment. The passion that you have at this "career" you have masterfully crafted is evident in all that you do. From Astrid's undeniable talent with food that left us all smiling and drooling with each flavor. To Laurent's love for diving that took each one of us on an unforgettable underwater adventure. To say this was the trip of a lifetime, feels like it does not do enough justice to how truly amazing this week really was. We are all so happy we were able to spend Stephen's 50th birthday celebrating with you this way. The vibrant colors of the Caribbean waters, the lush landscapes, the curious underwater creatures, and the ever welcoming friendly locals will stay with us all. There is no way to truly say thank you for such an amazing adventure. Thank you a hundred times."

"Hi Captain Laurent & Chef Astrid, I wanted to share with you the great feedback we received from my clients about their charter on Isolablue. I’ve no doubt, they'll be back to repeat their very positive experience with you in the future. I am looking forward to continuing the relationship we’ve established and booking more charters for my clients on your yacht. Captain: 5/5 Comments Laurent was amazing, any questions we had he answered and provided much knowledge as we were sailing. Felt safe and relaxed throughout the entire trip. Rest of the crew: 5/5 Comments Astrid was amazing as well, the attention to detail to us as guests that we were comfortable as well as to the meals she created were beyond words. How would you qualify the yacht (comfort, features, general maintenance, etc) 5/5 Comments As far as a our first boating experience we didn't have any thing to compare but now after sailing on the Isolablue for a week it blew any expectations we had out of the water. Overall the layout of the boat and seating areas was very comfortable and perfect for our group. How would you qualify the itinerary 5/5 Comments Astrid and Laurent picked up very quickly that we were a very laid back group and looking for relaxing, serene and peaceful landscapes. They planned the itinerary to showcase just those features, showing off the beautiful Caribbean islands and how peaceful and beautiful on land and water. How would you qualify the sports and leisure activities/equipment on board 5/5 Comments We were mainly interested in snorkeling and trail dives, which Laurent offered successfully and took us to the best spots to enjoy those activities. How would you qualify the food and drinks 5/5 Comments Not one bad thing to say about the food or drinks! The food was like artwork every time a dish was prepared and tasted amazing. The drinks offered whether it be one of Laurents tasty Rum cocktails, or an ice cold beer were top notch! How would you qualify the entire exper"

"Our family had no idea of what to expect on this trip. Here's what we didn't expect: A very cool couple with a lifetime of unique experiences, sharing their home with us A gastronomical journey from meal to meal, with amazingly unexpected flavours for a family of 4, who each love to cook in our own ways, it was truly inspiring! (You made me enjoy foods I usually hate - Drew). Patience and understanding with a new diver, and expert guidance to the best dive spots for the 3 of us who have certification Willing spoon players late into the evening. An excellent limbo dancer (Astrid) A trip to remember for a lifetime. Handwriting is no indication of the strong cocktails by Laurent!"

"What an unforgettable experience, from the moment we stepped on board Astrid and Laurent made us feel like honored guests and old friends in their wonderful home. We had the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. From magical snorkeling moments to some of the most amazing meals we've ever had - let alone at sea! Every day felt effortless, because of the attention to detail. Your warmth and genuine care made this trip truly special. Thank you for your kindness, passion and humor. We will treasure these memories. Scott's 45th bucket list trip is one that will stay in our heart. Love always,"

"Astrid and Laurent What an amazing adventure. All that we experienced along the way was made so special because of the love you share with each other and the passion for exploring with your yacht and us. Your caring is everything. Keep on "rocking" it out friends! Our love always! "for where your treasure is, there your heart will also be""

"Astrid and fellow Captain, You both surpassed our expectations. Astrid, how you were able to change up your Menus when we caught several fish was amazing. 5 star service for all meals and accommodations! Laurent, your easy going personality and your willingness to please made our trip special. The last night, the love and friendship created while singing and dancing to the 80's and French was epic. Tobago Cays was a night we will never forget. Love you both,"

"Astrid & Laurent We are all feeling blessed to have been sailing with you both since 2018. A lot of wonderful memories - the food, cocktails, diving - but most of all - your warm hospitality. We all have such a lovely fun time aboard. Wishing you a calm 2026 - full of enormous amount of fun! xox"

"Thank you very much for welcoming us so warmly and especially for dining us so well."

"As usual (this is our third time), it was a stay we’ll remember for a long time. Your hospitality exceeded by far all expectations. From the food to the diving, everything is top notch at Isolablue. Thank you, and perhaps we'll be back for a fourth time… You are most welcome in our home."

"The beauty and colors from the depths of the ocean, The captivating smells and flavours of the feasts, The lulling sound of the waves, the gentle breeze of the journey, the brilliance of the stars and sunsets; all our senses were delighted. More than anything, your joy of living, your kindness, and your generosity made our week truly special. Thank you for everything. We will never forget these incredible moments."

"Thank you both for this wonderful week. Your exceptional 6-star hospitality. Long live Isolablue and continue to enjoy life as you do so well. It is inspiring for everyone."

"Dear Astrid & Laurent, Thank you for making our first charter so amazing! Your hospitality and kindness helped make this trip truly memorable. Fun hippo fact! Did you know hippos have built in « scuba goggles », from a transparent membrane that covers their eyes when they dive under water. Hip & Blue Blue are all set for their next dive! Speaking of dives, it was such an extraordinary gift to be taken on our first dive. Although it was magnificent, seeing all of the fish and wonders of the sea, it was even more special letting us take part in your life’s passion. We can’t wait to get certified so that we can return to Isolablue for more exciting adventures. Not only did we enjoy the amazing adventures but also the phenomenal food! Each plate was prepared with such elegance, love and care. We will certainly be attempting (and failing) at making these recipes at home. Thank you both again hosting this unforgettable journey. At the beginning of this trip we were merely strangers, and now we are elated and grateful to part as friends. With love"

"When you told stories of repeat guests, it showed that you make people welcome and want to return. We hope to be included in that group some days to return and be welcomed into your home. The all encompassing passion for what you do - cooking, diving, sailing, love of the ocean and it’s creatures is evident in how much you love to share it. The Isolablue is a small piece of heaven floating on the sea. Thank you for making scuba diving available to people without experience. To watch Tristan and Luke take their 1st dives made my heart sing. Astrid, your passion for cooking comes through every bite and the beauty of the plate. If you are ever in Arizona we would love to try to return the feeling of being welcome at our home. Until next time…. Love"

"The other 2 summed it up perfectly. We will never forget how you made us feel so welcome in your magical home. Thank you so much for an amazing week. Love"
