DRAGONFLY

June 2026 - Multi-Generational trip

Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker, 

What an amazing week we had getting too know you and Parker. This is a vacation like no other. It was a week of beautiful weather, fabulous food and very zen vibe. It wasn’t rushed, chaotic or stressful. A true barefoot vacation…my feet don’t remember shoes. Entry back into real life will be a shock to our systems. 

Thank you for the memories and great food, but most of all sharing Parker with us. Jane & Paul 



Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. We had a wonderful week, you spoiled us with excellent food, care and love like if we were family. Marielena & Rafael 



Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker, 

I am actually sad to leave. Thank you for making a trip with both sets of in-laws seamless and relaxing! Certifying Hayes and Mason to dive will be a memory none of us will forget. On to planning our next trip with ya’ll! Much love and gratitude, Chris, Yvett, Hayes, and Mason

May 2026 - Epic Vacation

Stef, Jake an Parker- 

Where to begin? What to say that hasn’t already been said by everyone that has the privilege and true pleasure to sail with you guys! What an epic vacation for our little family. Such warm hospitality and amazing food. The table decorations were so fun too. Small things make the greatest impact. Thank you for making my “sailing in 60” and Stephens retirement moments in our life that we will never forget. 

I know our kids will look back at this trip many years from now and remember it as the “best trip ever”. And in Haley’s words “Soggy” is the best bar in the world 😊 Thank you for sharing Parker with us. We are all dog people and he is the icing on the cake! This is not, "thanks and goodbye" but rather “see you soon in the Grenadines!”

 With true love and gratitude. Stephen and Tracey, Eric and Haley, Jesse and Hannah

May 15-21, 2026 review - "Trip of a lifetime"

Stef & Jake, 



I don’t think there is any way we can thank you enough for this priceless gift of time together, relaxing, enjoying each other, laughing together, forgetting life’s worries for a while. We had a truly amazing time - an epic trip of a lifetime. We are walking away closer as a family, a little more patient and a lot more loving to each-other. You were amazing hosts and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We will forever cherish the time and the memories and are privileged to call you family! Thank you again - I can't say thank you enough. Love The Parker Family.

May 7- 14, 2026 - "3 time repeats"

To two of our favorite people- Thank you so much for a wonderful time once again. These times chartering with y’all has been 3 amazingly different experiences. Always a great time, great diving, and great fellowship. We can’t wait to come back and experience even more! So lucky to have found such great friends doing something we absolutely love! I can’t say thank you enough! See you soon!!! K&W

April 28 - May 5 Group Trip! - rebooked a 2nd trip

Captain Jake & Chef Stef, 

Thank you so much for a magical week. It was beyond relaxing and beautiful. Each meal and location seemed so well thought out. Honestly even just someone understanding and remembering my coffee orders each morning as a mom is a priceless treat. Thank you also for sharing your amazing dog with us. His presence just exudes happiness and joy. Maybe I’ll be coming back coming back as Parker in another life. Thanks again, Allie 



Captain Jake, Chef Stef & Parker,

Amazing once in a lifetime experience. You balanced being present and caring with giving us space. The food was exquisite. Snorkeling was so fun. We managed not to burn thanks to your warning about the sun. I am normally more eloquent but right now I am feeling sniffly. The extra care you gave our party member recovering from a medical procedure was exemplary. Thank you for making all his dreams capable based on his current health. 

Parker, you are the bestest dog and I do not have a dog, so I have cherished snuggling, petting, and kissing on you. 

Not goodbye...Till we see you again, Dawn & Rick 



All I ask… is a tall ship and a star to steer her by - John Masefield.  When the poet wrote these words they meant the stars above, used to navigate the world before the magic of satellites and GPS and radio. Little did he know the true stars are the crew. And nowhere in the cosmos above are there brighter stars than the crew of the Dragonfly. Jake - always willing to explain or repeat an explanation. Stef - who will laugh when replacing the third strange snack request. And Chief Cuddle Officer Parker, whose very queer hair welcomes visitors from around the world with cheerful love and affection. Stars are magic- like the magic of hospitality, service, delight, curiosity, and adventure. May all their shanty songs be joyful and may all their sea tales have only happy ending. Laurie



Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker! 

THANK YOU for a truly magical week. Your love and attention to every detail made everyday unbelievably joyful. We loved everything about this holiday (and Pat certainly enjoyed all of the incredibly delicious food twice over…) Thank you for making his 55th the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. These are memories we will cherish for a lifetime. With love, Heather and Pat



Dear Captain Jake, Chef Stef, and Officer Parker (!)

This was the first time I have ever been on a chartered yacht (for more than a day trip). I have no doubt that you spoiled me for any other charters! The yacht itself was gorgeous and in such excellent condition - it felt like you purchased it just for us! But truly, what made this vacation so magical was your attention, care, thoughtfulness, and clear pleasure in providing an unforgettable experience. I want to give you a special shout out to the care you provided to one of the members of our group who was recovering from a medical condition. Your balance of professionalism and service, while always ensuring that this guest was able to maintain his dignity and independence, was truly above and beyond anything we could have anticipated. With Gratitude, Karen

March 2026 - Thank you for an unforgettable week!

New Years 2025/26

Our family truly enjoyed our time on the Dragonfly over the New Year’s week. From the moment we arrived, the space felt comfortable and exactly what we hoped, It was the perfect setting to welcome the new year and enjoy each other’s company.



Jake and Stef are wonderful hosts. Their care and attention to detail were evident throughout our stay. Captain Jake was very knowledgeable about the area and was fantastic when it came to scuba diving. Stef is an incredible cook – her meals were such a treat and added an extra layer of comfort for our GF daughter-in-law, during our time on board. Parker truly made the trip extra special,  he spent lots of time cuddling with us.



It’s clear how much love and time has gone into creating the Dragonfly experience even more special.

Thank you for sharing it with us and for helping make our week so special. 

We will always have Venezuela to thank for your extended stay. The Pasculano Family

12/20–12/27/25 Christmas 2025

Thank you for a wonderful holiday week. We loved everything about the charter and really appreciate your flexibility accommodating the boys dates. It was super fun and definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you for helping make it a memorable & perfect vacation! From the delicious: amazing food, the snorkeling, paddle-boarding, island exploring, etc., it was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better time & experience, one we will always remember… and ended perfectly w/the most beautiful sunset, turtles & Chris getting to see a dolphin jump out of water! We so appreciate you both & hope our paths meet again.

Jake & Stef –



This is a terrible time to write this, because I’m so unhappy about leaving! 😥 However, thinking back on this trip brings such joy. From sharing this type of trip with lifelong friends and sharing it with you two, to the greatest adventures, this trip tops the charts for me. The conversations were fabulous, stories hilarious, and adventure exciting. 



Some of my favorite moments were:

      1.    Climbing Gros piton (I mean it’s great in hindsight) 

      2.    Seeing the octopus 

      3.    Watching the amazing sunsets  

      4.    Having amazing dives

      5.    Eating delicious food (fish tacos and chocolate chip cookies)

      6.    Setting on the flybridge looking out at the lights at night

      7.    Spending time at the Italian marina 

      8.    Learning some cooking tips

      9.    Seeing all the amazing islands

      10.   sharing time/meals with some of my favorite people! 



Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives on the boat and for accommodating our food requests! Y’all are the best! Glad we’re now family. Looking forward to next time. ❤️Kip, Wendi, Todd and Schelle

Jake, Stephanie & Parker,

When can we come back?!? Thank you so much for the best vacation we’ve taken. We couldn’t have imagined how awesome this would be.

We will see you again soon—hopefully with friends and family next time.

Thanks especially for the gourmet meals, the diving excursions, and the incredible hospitality.

Until we meet again,

Michelle and Matt 

P.S. Give Parker extra snuggles for us. ❤️

June 2025

Thank you for all of the wonderful memories, meals, laughs and fun! We can’t wait to come back! Favorite memory is when we got the e-foil out. Thank you for certifying us to dive! 

May 2025 MAGICAL WEEK, WOW!

Parker made a difference!

Stef and Jake, from the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!

You guys are amazing human beings, an amazing couple, and the best crew ever.

You both gave us the best, you gave us love, and you made things happen. ❤️

Food was incredible, rooms were super clean, spectacular catamaran, service was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In only one week we got to know you guys and like you a lot.

We feel love and respect. Honestly one of my best weeks ever with my family, and we are very sad to leave you now.

We will be back, and our communication and relationship is going to grow every day.

Let’s keep in contact.

Thanks again for everything, and you have four new friends — Isabella, Daniella, Claudie, and Didi.

Be ready for BVI!



Jake and Stef me again…

Thank you for your time as well in making us happy and mostly my girls, for the scuba dives, all water sports, water skiing, e-foil, for putting me to fish that shark, for those lobsters, lion fish. For everything you guys did for us.

May 2025

I am so glad we chose DRAGONFLY for our our inaugural catamaran charter vacation.  The size of the boat and accommodations were perfect.  Jake and Steph are absolutely delightful.  The food was phenomenal.  My favorite part of the experience was the diving.  There were beautiful and fun things to see (some surprises too), but the absolute best part was the convenience of diving right off the boat.  The trip was perfect."

Wow! What a week! “Thank you” seems inadequate.

From the moment we connected at our meeting spot, you made us feel like family! Every detail was planned and well thought out. Our food was amazing, table scapes beautiful, and you made sure we did nothing but relax and enjoy ourselves. Our coffee and lattes were handed to us first thing in the morning, gourmet food served, island hopping, fishing, a friendly game of Farkle, and even our drinks were made and delivered WITH love. The very best was the conversations we shared as well as watching you both tag team all the chores with a smile. You make a beautiful couple and a very efficient partnership. We will miss being spoiled 24/7, but more importantly, the friendship we have made with you three! You and your family will be in our continual prayers — until we meet again.

Godspeed,

Cindy & Bob

This week was amazing! I have had the blessing of traveling a lot, but this one goes down as one of the best in our life. The Dragonfly is an amazing yacht – definitely a five star experience! Stef & Jake are some of the most amazing, caring, chill, friendly people who are now called friends. You are the reason that our week was so fabulous. We will never forget the delicious food and your attitude of service!

Thank you for making your guests a priority. You are great examples of what Jesus teaches — love others before ourselves. God Bless You!

What an amazing week on the Dragonfly! Yes, the sun, ocean and time in the BVI was awesome, but the best part was the amazing service and hospitality from Capt. Jake and Chef Stef. We so appreciate our time and fabulous vacation on the Dragonfly! Thank you, we’ll be back!

A truly phenomenal trip made ever better by exceptional service, attention to every detail, and passion for the islands, the water, and amazing food that shines through all that you do! Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and a special thank you for helping me get back into diving after so many years. It was truly incredible to be back with the fish and in my happy place. Can’t wait to come back!



To the most marvelous crew, thank you for your patience, hospitality, and the most fantastic trip we could ever dream. It was because of you, we are leaving so relaxed and rejuvenated. Words cannot express our gratitude. We look forward to our next adventures on Dragonfly with all 3 of you!



Thank you for being SO AMAZING! We will cherish the memories we made on this trio forever. Your kindness, joy, and thoughtfulness made this trip truly memorable. Everything was perfect and it’s because of y’all! We will miss you and can't wait to do it again!

We loved, loved being with y’all! (But Parker stole my ❤️!)

Great sailing, fantastic food, exceptionally welcoming, friendly atmosphere — Wonderful, wonderful adventure! Thank you, thank you for a perfect vacation!



Meeting the 3 of you has been an absolute delight… sheer joy! Having y’all (Jake, Stef, & Parker) as our “welcoming committee,” well, what could be more impressive! The food, the sailing, playing tug-of-war, and cuddling with Parker, filled our days with happiness, excitement, and contentment! The 3 of you now hold an indelible place in David’s and my hearts.

Thank you for a memorable experience in paradise.

Lots of love,
