Our group truly loved experiencing the baths and caves on Virgin Gorda. But the Touch the Sky crew took us to the most beautiful beaches & islands to moor. We all especially loved snorkeling at Christmas Cove. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. Absolutely flawless. The food was excellent and always beautifully presented. The crew was incredibly friendly and accommodating. - Suzanne K.

Richard & Suzanne - You guys are the greatest. We have had so much fun these last two years on Touch the Sky - and it wouldn’t have been the same without y’all - the food, Tequila and Painkillers, all of it! Best of luck in Honda and hopefully there is an excursion in the future for more drinkey wine and judging people! HAHA! Thanks so very much!

You are an awesome team - complementing each other in roles, switching leads, etc. We all have had a sweet time - I can't think of a week with my family where we were all enjoying ourselves together - for so long - you offered a wide range of activities, foods, knowledge, to so many teens!

Another great trip with you guys and Touch the Sky for the books. Everything was fantastic as always - The food the drinks, the snorkeling the islands & island bars, the views, the band and most of all your awesome company and hospitality. We are sad that we won’t be back for another trip with you on Touch the Sky but we look forward to other adventures with you on land... or maybe on the waters in Florida or some other beautiful place. We are happy to call you guys friends ❤️

Love you,

Angie + Mike and Camille

We will be talking about this trip when we are in the nursing home can't remember our own names!

We just CANNOT thank you enough for this bucket-list trip & all the extra special attention— to detail & above & beyond delivery of our things.

Y'all do what you do not only to perfection but also with style and grace. A ton of effort delivered effortlessly looking!

Thank you for everything

Cpt. Richard & Suzanne - WOW! What can I say about this trip? I'm speechless and after a week on board, you know that's a big thing ; your hospitality, cooking, entertainment I'll never forget this everytime its Wed, it will get me through the week! have FAR EXCEEDED our expectations! Not only are we leaving a fabulous boat, these beautiful islands, but we're also leaving friends in you.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in USVI & BVI aboard Touch The Sky! Richard and Suzanne were perfect, we enjoyed them so in every way!

Thank you for helping us make this a trip to remember!

My wife Jennifer and I have been coming down to the BVI for over 20 years now. We have chartered both with a captain as well as doing bare boat excursions. I can honestly say that our week on Touch The Sky has been one of the most rewarding vacations we have ever done. Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne were more than we could have imagined. The skillset for both of them was obvious from the very beginning. However, the way they embraced our family and the way they took care of us was more than special. It was genuine.

We were a three generation group, which I imagine could be a daunting assignment, when you are in relatively close quarters. Our grandkids are 9, almost 7, and 5 years of age. Jennifer and I wanted our kids and grandkids to experience as much of the BVI experience as possible in a week. We succeeded because of Captain Richard and Suzanne. Norman Island, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke were all destinations that we were able to enjoy. The grandkids acclimated themselves quickly to the sailing lifestyle and that was all due to Captain Richard and Suzanne.

I cannot say enough about Chef Suzanne and her culianry expertise. We were so pampered from morning fruit plates on the fly bridge followed by an amazing breakfast. Lunches were always a treat but the best always was the dinners she served us in the evenings on the back of Touch The Sky. The flavors and presentation of each meal rivaled ANY meal you might get on shore. Her salmon dinner as well as the family recipe she shared one night for pasta was amazing. I am still blown away by the quality of each meal coming out of that galley kitchen. Needless to say, coming home after a week eating Chef Suzanne’s meals was a real jolt of reality. Coffee on the fly bridge in the early morning is still the best.

Finally, I cannot say enough about Captain Richard. With him at the helm you are going to be in safe hands. His quiet confidence and calm demeanor was infectious. I think what was really special is the way he (and Suzanne) brought our grandkids into their world. With his assistance, each took turns at the wheel. He showed infinite patience in answering their questions. Each night while Suzanne and Richard were plating dinner, they let our 5 year old granddaughter run food to the table. It sounds like an insignificant thing but I assure you it was magical.

Finally, thank you Paradise Yacht Management for matching us up with Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne. Touch The Sky was our home for the week. We came away feeling sad having to leave it and the wonderful people who crewed it. Let it rock!

Touch The Sky and the crew Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne facilitated one of the most memorable family vacations that our family has ever experienced. There is not enough space on this site to detail the magic that unfolded on our adventure. Touch The Sky was safe, comfortable and allowed us to explore the BVI with total confidence. Again, can't say NEARLY enough about Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne. They embraced our three generation group and made us feel totally at ease. We went into the week being flexible and knowing the weather conditions would determine a lot of what we did. We crammed a LOT of bucket list moments.

We are back from sailing the BVI and WOW!! what an amazing time had. Thank you for all your help getting our trip set up. We had a couple in our group that has sailed 3-4 times before and they said this was the BEST. I think that was because we were there with them but really we had the BEST Boat, and the BEST BEST crew. Suzanne and Richard are a 10+ in our book.

Richard and Suzanne,

What a difference a fabulous crew makes on a trip like this. You are both amazing and such fun. I’m just so sorry we all got sick. It just made it so much harder for you, but you were perfect anyway. Thanks so much for everything. The boat owner is extremely lucky to have you both. Thank again. Safe travels always.

Janice M.

What a wonderful trip and it was all made possible by the two of you. You guys work so well together it was like a fine oiled machine. Our group offered many challenges and you met each one with grace and patience. Keep up the great work. Anyone would be lucky to sail with you.

Richard & Suzanne,

Wow! What a cruise. Our family was so lucky to be able to take a trip like this. But even luckier to have the two of you take care of us. It is amazing how two extremely professional people can also be so fun and able to blend in with our group. Suzanne – the food! I am hoping for many of your recipes – absolutely outstanding! I hope the boat owner knows how lucky he is to have you taking care of this beautiful boat. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and assistance while we were sick. If you ever find yourselves in Georgia – you are welcome.

Best wishes,

Linda & Jim

Thank you Richard and Suzanne for a very great week. Richard, your knowledge of the area was excellent however Suzanne’s cooking topped it all☺! Our family had some dietary requirements but you guys did a fabulous job. Richard – take care of Suzanne because we need her next time we are back! Great job!

Richard and Suzanne,

We loved meeting you both. Your personalities were a great compliment to our group. Having such an experienced crew like you we knew we were always safe, always went to the best spots, and always moored far away from the mosquitos! You are the perfect blend of five star service but not stuffy and engage in such a genuine way. We look forward to sailing with you again and wouldn’t want to have another sailing adventure without you.

Brian & Krissy

Richard and Suzanne,

Terry S.

P.S.-If you’re ever in Minnesota look us up.

Richard and Suzanne,

Thank you for making it easy for me with the diet restrictions. It was reassuring that you could work with what I could eat. Loved the variety, so many things I could eat. From when I first started taking to you about diet, I knew I didn’t need to worry. Thank you so much! It made a difference in my trip! Thank you again!

Sandy S.

Richard and Suzanne,

I don’t even know how to find the words to say how amazing this vacation was – and we owe it all t the both of you. Thank you so much for everything – the service, the food, and coming to get me when the current got to be too much. That none of us got lost along the way is a testament to you. We will remember this forever and could ask for more. Yu always have a friend in Charleston.

Fair winds and following seas,

Amy B.

Most amazing trip ever! Thank you for your hospitality, knowledge, amazing food, and company. I loved Richard’s silly sense of humor and Suzanne’s amazing cooking. Trip of a lifetime! If you ever need a third on the crew, I may need to quit my full time job!

Suzanne and Richard,

Fuxg flawless. Literally everything from the first hello has been flawless. My expectations have been surpassed beyond belief and despite my healthy hesitation for and of the water, I can’t wait to come back. Mostly to hang with both of you. But the view is always pretty damn awesome (thanks for that, Richard).

Leslie F.

Thank you so much Suzanne and Richard for the most amazing week!  Thank you for the most amazing views and experiences.   You both went above and beyond to make this the most memorable trip.  From the never-empty bellies, to the stories and always thinking of everything to make our experience perfect, the two of you are the real dream team!  We are so grateful for your hospitality and charm.   This week has been the perfect reset from the crazy day to day reality, and we are all leaving with a new appreciation of this beautiful world.  Thank you so much for filling our eyes, hearts and bellies.  Cheers and see you again next year!

“Dear Richard & Suzanne,

We can’t thank you enough for your amazing hospitality aboard Touch the Sky. The meals, and pre-meals, were delicious and the service was impeccable … Your warmth and inviting spirit allowed us to fully enjoy being present with one another, all too easily missed on a day to day basis.

The Christmas touches were perfect from the lights to the tray of Christmas cookies and candies.

One of the best vacations and most memorable Christmases ever! We will be back!!! You both are the best!!!”

“Dear Suzanne & Richard,

We have so thoroughly enjoyed meeting and sailing with you! With two almost grown daughters this time together with family and friends means so much to us. What and adventure.

If you ever come to the Chicago area, please let us know! We would love to see you!

You guys Rock! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”
