HARMONY GUESTS COMMENTS

May 2024
Where do I even begin to describe this trip? For the short version, it was absolutely the trip in a lifetime in every way. For the long version, I am honestly not sure it could have been any better! I want to start off by saying that Justin & I are beyond grateful for your assistance in setting up this experience for us all. Apart from a 9-hour delay in finally getting to Nassau after bad weather in Texas heavily disrupted our flights on Thursday, we had the smoothest, most efficient adventure that anyone could have asked for. The boat was impeccable, the weather was fantastic, and the water of the Exumas never let up on stunning us throughout every minute of every day. We have dreamed for years of sharing this magical place with our friends and thank you again for providing us the perfect vessel for it.

The crew. Oh how I could go on for days on how perfect Caleb & Adhika are. Standing on the dock at the end of the trip, I heard Justin tell Caleb “We would follow you two anywhere” and it absolutely warmed my heart. That was the feeling and sentiment all 8 of us shared at the end of our trip. I speak for all of us when I say that we feel like we were specially blessed with those two for this past week.

Adhika has a warmth that is so infectious, and her patience knows no bounds. And her food … again I could go on for days. I have no idea how she managed to provide us with these amazing meals that were crafted with such delicacy and incredible flavors out of that small kitchen every day. The detail she puts into everything from her presentation to her amazing secret sauces was impeccable. She followed our preference sheet to a T, but also gave us many surprises along the way. The chocolate-on-chocolate birthday cake she made for Justin was definitely a fan favorite. She truly has unrivaled skill when it comes to provisioning. A couple of the highlights for us is when we all finally wore Deeks down & she joined us all for an aggressive beach volleyball game & a visit to the swings at Little Pipe Cay. We also loved her cocktails. She makes a mean screwdriver with a tropical twist that we mechanics delightfully renamed “The Impact Driver” for the sneaky punch it packs.

Caleb truly has a passion for captaining, sailing and the ocean in general. I don’t think we are the easiest group to have aboard due to our need for constant adventure & entertainment, but Caleb rose the occasion. Justin & I have been so fortunate to have visited the Exumas twice before and we were honestly a little nervous that we had seen all there was to see. Reflecting, Caleb gave us all new experiences and new anchorages throughout the week. We had never been to Warwick Wells. Caleb placed us in the most beautiful lineup of moorings with other boats and dropped us off at the top of the Cay so we could drift/freedive down to a stunning coral garden there. We had never seen reef sharks. Caleb gave us 20-something of them in an exhilarating stop at Danger Reef. We had never spearfished. Caleb gave us a tutorial, handed us spears, took us out, and we were successful. He cultivated a very personal trip for us, and we cannot express our gratitude more.

C & A,

Wowza! I’m not sure I could ever put into words how amazing you both made this experience for all of us…

The food- off the charts - hit it out of the park - delicious with every single plate. I ate my heart out!

The experiences - all the right places, all the perfect places to see and experiences to have. The fact that I got in the water with sharks says everything about how comfortable you made me feel.

You two as a team - TOP NOTCH <3

Couldn’t have had a more amazing experience and crazy grateful for the two of you for everything. Trust we will circle back again soon. Until then, safe adventures <3

The Foti’s had the trip of a lifetime! The Exumas are absolutely stunning - from the beaches to the sharks, to the iguanas, we all had a great time. But really, it’s you guys that made it special and unforgettable. You took care of us better than we thought possible, and set a bar that will be hard to replicate. We will never forget you - but also will look for the possibility of a reunion!

Dear Adhika & Caleb,
Thank you for such a wonderful week on Harmony. We are a challenging group to please, given our culinary and dietary demands, our previous boating experiences, and our familiarity with the Bahamas, but you absolutely exceeded our expectations. Your level of service and constant drive to "wow" us with another magical site or an original, delicious meal has made this such a memorable holiday. It is not surprising that the baby pigs, reef sharks and Hawksbill turtles will remain ingrained in our Exumas experience and memories, but its the sheer overall beauty of the many spots, and the colors of the sea and beaches that will be truly and permanently painted in our minds...Wading thru the shallow water at Boot Cay beach, the broken pieces of conch along the little sand banks, the dolphins rolling over all around us on our journey up to Highbourne Cay, and so so much more. The atmosphere on the boat is made so pleasant by the smoothness with which you collaborate, and finally, the food: Adhika - you have an extraordinary talent in the kitchen. We were all in awe of seeing you labor away for hours, preparing our meals...and the effort paid off every time. The mango-pepper curry sauce the first night set off a week of culinary delights. As I said, we are not easy to please when it comes to eating, but we loved all your dishes.
Thank you both and hope to see you next year.
- Noelle, and on behalf of the Lami Family

Dear Adhika and Caleb,
What can we say more than Noelle?...You've been amazing, we appreciated both of your hard work so much. Adhika's cooking was magnificent and Caleb's work and commitment on the boat was outstanding. We had one of the best holidays ever...We are really looking forward to seeing you next year to have another beautiful adventure together!
Lots of love, Rafaella, Umberto, Vittorio, Mari <3

We don't know where to begin! We have to start with Caleb and Adhika who set the stage for amazing trip. From their hospitality, to local knowledge and skill, to the amazing food created by Adhika, we could not have asked for anything more. Our stops at the sea "aquarium", the conch fishing/hunting, the turtles at Shroud Cay, the sand bars, and visiting the many little hidden spots made this an unforgettable trip.

Caleb and Adhika can't be beat, they are simply amazing! We can't wait to sail with them again one day.

What a fantastic week we had aboard Harmony! Our second charter exceeded all of our expectations. From Caleb's personalized adventures, to Deeks' amazing meals, each day exceeded our expectations! You kept the cold beer flowing and the cocktails and shots were so fun. Epic Power Hour locations :)
Counting the days for our return trip - not sure it can be topped. If you make it to the Midwest, stop by and say hi - we would love to host YOU!

Caleb & Adhika!

Your fun personalities and attentiveness made our trip amazingly fun! Adhika, your cooking is amazing and definitely a highlight of our trip. We appreciate your work ethic and all the love you put into making sure our experience was memorable! Caleb your flexibility and patience with us made us feel heard and at ease! Thank you for being fun and introducing us to new things like spear fishing! Both of you did an amazing job at making sure we experienced the best of the Bahamas and Caleb assisting Paul with finding the perfect spot to re propose was the most beautiful backdrop I never could have envisioned without your help! Good luck with your season and have tons of fun! XOXO


Caleb & Deeks-

This was our 2nd time chartering a catamaran. We had an amazing first time so our expectations were already high. The surprising part of this trip was that you exceeded those expectations in every way. The level of service and professionalism you provided on this trip was incredible! You made us feel comfortable and made sure we were cared for at all times. Each one of the guests we invited kept making comments about how much they were enjoying themselves. The quality of food both in taste and presentation was amazing! I felt comfortable enough to ask you for guidance in finding the perfect spot to re propose to my wife and you delivered. I can't express to you how much you contributed to make this a perfect trip!


Caleb & Adhika,

Thank you so much for an amazing week! We really loved all the secret spots in the Bahamas that you shared with us! Deeks your food was incredible and you definitely seem to cook with your whole heart. Caleb, thank you for always being up for all of the exciting adventures. You both took such great care of all of us! Your future guests are very lucky to have you. Thank you for the memories and we wish all the best for you both in the future. Much love!
(Nov 2023) - We saw and experienced more things on this trip than we have on multiple other, vacations combined.
Our family just had the trip of a lifetime!! Caleb and Adhika thought of everything and more!! They truly catered every part of the experience to us. The food, the adventure, the planning, their thoughtfulness was second to none. Every day Caleb’s had surprises up his sleeves and fun experiences for us and my boys. We did some adventures we’ve never done before, including spearfishing. As a mama bear, I felt completely safe, knowing Caleb’s was taking care of us. He was always on guard looking out, making sure everyone was safe!! I even felt comfortable enough to swim with sharks!!! Not only were our adventures so fun, creative and unique, his timing was also perfect. He knew the exact time we should get somewhere for the perfect tide, or the perfect view. Every adventure we went on, was well thought out, and he always had everything we needed and more. Caleb’s’s passion and knowledge for the catamaran, the ocean life, and the Bahamas was so impressive. He answered so many questions for us, and taught us so much. I will also never be able to thank him enough for teaching my husband and son to Spearfish, definitely a core memory, for them. Adhika made sure we were constantly fed the most delicious meals snacks and drinks, for the whole week (her cocktails were always on point and the best drinks I’ve ever had)!! Every meal was incredibly delicious, different and full of good, homemade healthy food. I personally have never eaten so much amazing food!! We had so many activities that it was important to stay fueled up, and Adhika went above and beyond for everything we ate. You can tell she has a true talent for cooking and hospitality. She definitely takes care of you with her whole heart and soul, and works nonstop to make sure every need for everyone in our family was met. And that’s not an easy task with two teenage boys. We happen to be there during Thanksgiving and her Thanksgiving. Dinner was the best I’ve had in years. She spatchcock a turkey for us and made us the most delicious Thanksgiving feast, we felt so spoiled. She also surprised my husband with an amazing birthday cake!! I honestly do not have one negative thing to say, we are so grateful and feel so incredibly thankful to have had Adhika and Caleb curate such an amazing trip for us. They are two of the most hard-working good hearted, incredibly intelligent people we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know!! We saw and experienced more things on this trip than we have on multiple other, vacations combined. We can’t wait to return and are planning many more catamaran vacations in the future. This was truly the best way to experience what the world has to offer.
The mother of all vacations!
The mother of all vacations! Thank you for this amazing week. We are very happy for meeting all of you. You made this vacation very fun! I for sure didn't get bored because you all had amazing activities. I'll miss all of you but you guys will always be in my mind, with the memories we made together.
Thank you for serving us with grace, ease, and humor.
I knew what to expect with the boat, but getting to know the captain and crew was an unexpected joy on this special trip. Thank you for serving us with grace, ease, and humor. Y'all will forever be in our memories of this trip of a lifetime. Till next time!
