Testimonials
We had an unforgettable experience on One Love! Michael and Julie are very welcoming, gracious and over accommodating to make sure we had an amazing adventure. They are knowledgeable about sailing, the islands, the best areas to snorkel, places to party or just relax. The food Michael and Julie prepared was delicious and well planned out. So much attention to detail in every aspect!
Only wish we could have sailed with Willie the Cat.
We will plan to return soon.
~ Craig and Jean
I spent a week with Julie and Michael aboard One Love touring the US and British Virgin Islands. The islands, the sailing and the boat were great, but the hospitality provided from Julie and Micheal was unparalleled! We had fun with them every day. They provisioned the boat with great food and drink and they prepared excellent meals. The boat sailed well and was very comfortable. Michael knew all the fun places to visit in the islands which made the trip a blast. It was like an all-inclusive vacation, but the beauty of it was that we were in a different anchorage every day. Julie, Michael and One Love delivered a relaxing and adventurous island getaway.
~ Dr. Peter Smith
If you love beautiful warm clear water and cruising through it in the lap of luxury, a vacation on the One Love is for you! We spent six thoroughly relaxing days gliding through the beautiful Caribbean Islands, with perfect weather and not a care in the world. Every day was a new setting in paradise, as we cruised from one beautiful beach to the next. With the water so inviting, and a whole different universe just below us, every stop my first move was diving off the boat in mask and fins to explore. Afterwards, relaxing on deck with drinks, sunsets, and delicious creations from One Love’s galley. Captain Michael and Julie make the One Love the fabulous vacation that it is, with the perfect amount of service to their guests. Starting with in depth queries of their guests preferences and interests. Michael and Julie come up with uniquely personal itineraries and menus to make the guests vacation absolutely perfect! They are thoughtful and friendly guides throughout the entire wonderful adventure. One Love – very highly recommended.
