James from Dallas, Texas - Split,
Croatia - July 21
Hey Ken, Thanks for all your help organizing the charter. The
charter company looked after us very well as did you. No complaints
at all we will use you again in the future. Week turned out to be
really windy but apart from that we all had a great time.

Costas from London, UK - Athens - October '20
Hi Ken We had a great time on the boat. Thanks for sorting all this
out at the last minute
-----------------------
Grant from Holywood, UK - Naples - August '20
I just want
to thank you for all the help and support you have given me in
making a very fast last minute booking at a time when I was under
some pressure. As you know I had planned to charter in
Croatia this weekend but due to new quarantine guidelines this had
to be cancelled only days before I was due to fly.
While searching for an alternative option I came across
your website and decided to give you a call. Can I tell you that
after some 30 years of chartering - often 2 or 3 times per year - I
can genuinely say that I have never had service as professional and
friendly as yours. You found the right boat at a great price - and
then negotiated a little extra discount! But beyond that your
attention to detail and friendly manner are 2nd to none. I will no
longer be scouring the websites and completing numerous applications
when I next want to charter - I will come straight to you in
confidence that you will take full care of my needs.
Thank
you Ken. It’s been a pleasure doing business with you - and I hope
someday we can sit down to a pint together.

"Simply the best agent I've ever
worked with. Throughout a long and difficult journey, due to the
COVID-19 mess, he demonstrated time after time a willingness to go
the extra mile and a determination to deliver our charter for us.
Thank you Ken"

John from Essex, UK - Sicily - July '20
"Ken provided us with a very
professional and personal service throughout the whole booking
process. I would recommend him to anyone"
-----------------------
Patrick, Manchester, UK - Sardinia - July '20
"By far the easiest yacht charter company I've
ever dealt with. If you tell this guy what you want he will deliver.
Simple as!"

a great time and will certainly recommend you guys to friends

Dean - Lanzarote - Feb '20
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for your services since
we booked our charter. In particular Ken I really appreciated the
time you took to talk with me on the phone to offer advice just
before we left. The charter went very well aside from the minor
technical issues we encountered. The islands were great and the
weather was fantastic
-----------------------
Gerrit - Canary Islands - Jan '20
Hi Ken. We would
like to thank you very much organising our charter in Gran Canaria.
We were extremely impressed with the base, boat and great staff. We
would be very pleased to recommend Viva Charter and yourselves for
anybody looking to charter in the Canary Islands

Louise - Tenerife - Dec '19
With this e-mail I
want to let you know that we spend an excellent week in the
Canaries. The boat was good, the weather was OK. The service from
Alboran was great and I highly recommend them and STN Yacht Charters
for setting it all up

Generally, all worked
well, boat in good shape. People at Velanomada acting professionally

All in all I am fully satisfied.

thanks for last week. Anthony and Tracy were absolutely fantastic
and made our holiday truly memorable. Please would you convey our
thanks again to them. We're already talking about next year's

Had a great time in
Italy. Thanks for your help.

John - Sardinia - Jul '19
Just to let you know: we
had a great charter. The boat was excellent apart from a faulty
autopilot which was a nuisance as I only had my young daughters for
crew but nevertheless we all really enjoyed ourselves. The charter
company are very professional and I would recommend them to anyone.

Randy - Amalfi Coast - Jun '19
We had the best trip ever. Thanks for all your help preparing. I
wish we could do it all again exactly the same way and as soon as
possible! I will be posting & recommending STN to our sailing club!
Best of luck with your business and hope desperately to be
chartering with you again!

from you soon

Mark -
Balearic Is - Sep '18
We had a relaxing and enjoyable
time working our way around Mallorca, as well as exploring the
southern portion of Minorca. The boat performed well both under
motor and sail. The galley had everything we needed and stove,
fridge & BBQ, worked great. Thanks again for all of your
assistance in arranging our charter…we really appreciated your help
and professionalism. In the future we will use your services again.
