WE sailed in the BVI with sailing Collective in March 2016. They came highly recommended by a…read morefriend, and The sailing Collective did not disappoint. Dayyan took the time to listen to our goals and paired us with Rob Neville as captain. Rob was the ideal captain for us- he taught us how to sail in minimal time, and within a couple of days we were handling the sailboat under his watchful eye. All our meals were so tasty, and often more elaborate than one would expect could be prepared in a tiny sailboat galley! Additionally- Rob was an excellent tour guide, and we loved our stay in The BVI. Rob was often more like an entertainment director on a cruise ship, and he spent many hours with our teenage sons- playing coconut rugby on the beach, doing science experiments, fishing, bouldering or whatever they wanted to do. We found calm protected anchorages each night, despite being very busy sailing season. I cannot possibly recommend Sailing Collective more for a once in a lifetime experience.

I first heard about the Sailing Collective via my friend's Instagram posts. She traveled with them…read moreto the BVIs and could not stop raving about it. I knew I had to try it myself! So I booked my trip and traveled with the Sailing Collective to Thailand in Dec 2015. It was the most unique and beautiful trip I've ever taken and I highly recommend it. Why I loved it: 1) THE SPOTS WE VISITED: Dayyan has an uncanny ability to sniff out all the best local spots. I was continuously amazed at his ability to find where the local fisherman ate, the best secluded beaches, and the most picturesque places to dock. Additionally, our itinerary would have been impossible without the sailboat and I enjoyed having such a different way of weaving through the islands then most of my friends who have visited Thailand. 2) THE CHEF: It was incredible to have a private chef aboard who drew upon local ingredients to create healthy and delicious meals and snacks. Ana was a wizard in the kitchen, turning out unique and visually stunning meals for a group of 10, out of a tiny sailboat kitchen. 3) THE SAILING: I loved that Captain Ross invited us to learn as little or as much about sailing as we wanted during the trip. One afternoon he took time to walk a small group through the basics of sailing and we were able to get hands on with steering, ropes etc. But if you didn't want to you were equally welcome to take a snooze in your cabin or on deck. 4) CUSTOMIZE-ABLE: I appreciated how flexible and responsive the captains were to our needs. They often gave us options about routes, beaches, meals etc. While we typically had group dinners or excursions planned at least once a day it was 100% up to you if you wanted to go out on your own or opt into group plans. The list of reasons why I love this company goes on and on. I recommend any traveler give Sailing Collective a try!

I didn't think my review was that bad to begin with, but Camille C. felt the need to challenge my…read moreexperience with her a load of crap and that landed them on my Poop List. Read my initial review and you'll realize the "poop" part is quite LITERAL. Below is an excerpt of Camille C.'s response to my initial 3 star review (7/5/12): "Had Helen bothered to ask any one of the professional crew aboard Eastern Star about the sewer smell, they would have shown her the pump-out station located on the dock directly up the pier from them. As soon as the boat began the Complimentary cruise she enjoyed, that smell was left dockside. The hors d'oeuvres were a lovely selection, both a treat for the eyes and palate they were beautifully presented on trays decorated with fresh herbs. As well, nestled between a Mediterranean Display and a Charcuterie of dried meats, the Imported Cheese Display was a beautifully presented with an abundance of Gorgonzola, Jarlsberg, Gouda, Brie, Truffled Goat and Feta cheeses. Please click on the pictures above to view the lavish displays that were served that day." And now for my response: Dear Camille C., I usually cut and paste the entire message of an owner or customer service response to my reviews, but you had so many fillers and false advertisement, I couldn't see repeating those parts in my review update. No amount of fancy words extracted, collected and collaborated from your online dictionary and thesaurus could change the REALITY of my experience. (Oh, and let's also note that 1 star review right next to mine.) First off, I smelled your shit when approaching your vessel upon arrival. I did NOT use your restroom at that time. I used the restroom much later on, and guess what? That smell you claim that should have only been present while on dock...was PRESENT when the lil' vessel was NOT docked. Just saying... AND, as a very proud former Cheesemonger of Cowgirl Creamery (look it up sweetie, it's a REAL gourmet cheese shop), I can tell the difference between real cheese and real supermarket-level cheese. Anyone (and I do mean ANYONE) can slap a Gorgonzola or Brie label on their package, it doesn't make it gourmet, nor does it mean its any good. I am speaking from a Cheesemonger's perspective though... I didn't say your food was poorly displayed. I should have mentioned that the display was not bad at all! FAR from the best I've seen for a corporate event, but not bad. The random sea shells and decorative dead marine life you tossed in is questionable though. How often do you reuse those things? And how do you clean them? Should they be touching our food to begin with? Cheese and fruit trays aside (there were no meats that day, dried or other), the cold, dry, and bland appetizers that your servers were bringing out gave me ZERO desire for seconds. If this sample party was your A Game, you failed miserably. Again, use all the pretty words and pretty pictures you want, it does not change the experience, and in this case, the taste and pleasure factor of the food. My Event Planner friend, in her position for close to a decade, had an even more critical review...with her event planning and catering expertise and all. I thought you had a friendly sailing crew and a decent-looking sailing apparatus, so I was trying to be nice, and that's the thanks I get? Oh Camille C....

Staff- The staff was great at being attentive to our guests when it came to refilling water and the like. They were very prompt with bringing out all the meals as well.

All the guests really enjoyed themselves, whether they were on the dance floor or on the top deck taking in the sights. It truly was a magical night :)
