What People Are Saying
“Karl and Nikki -
you two are the best hosts and we will always remember you with a smile on our face. You took us on an adventure of a lifetime. I am so thankful for your loving attention to make our trip a sweet journey in the islands. Each day was relaxed and so very delicious - vegan food on the high seas! New recipes and flavors always ready! It seems sad to leave you and go home but it is a wonderful thought to know you are here in the BVI doing what you love. I hope to return and see you again, and hear of your new adventures. Peace and love and hugs to our new Caribbean friends. Brenda and Bill.”

“It is hard to describe the depth and breadth of gratitude I feel for this week. Paul, thanks for making this happen and including me and getting us all onto the G3 with Nikki and Karl. G3 is beautiful, incredibly comfortable and quickly felt like home. We are so lucky to be the first guests and appreciate how hard Nikki and Karl worked to get it ready for us. It was difficult at first to stop doing and just relax, but I can definitely say that this has been most relaxing and restoring week of my life. Nikki and Karl you felt like part of our group from day one. Thanks for making us feel free to just be us as well as participating and encouraging at times! I hope you enjoyed getting to know you. As much as I dont want this trip to end for me, I'm happy knowing that others will get to experience this and spend some time on G3 and your company soon!”
