The trip of a lifetime! So glad our friends recommended Epic - Hannah guided us through
the pre-trip panning, and Bill and Ashley took amazing care of us all week on Floatation Therapy! Ashley’s cooking was delicious - she took such good care to make sure everyone had what they needed, and we loved her creative table scapes at every meal - including a birthday surprise. Cocktails were yummy - highly recommend their Pain killers!
It was a pleasure spending the Week with Ashley ana Bill, they are so easy going and personable. They really made our vacation so special- even teaching our teen girls to scuba dive! Already looking to ward to or next voyage with then!
Thank you!

We had so much fun and it will be tough to top this trip, but we will try on our next trip with them! Thank you for a great week and for taking such great care of us.

Captain Bill and first mate Ash
Sailing the bays of the Caribbean blue
Seeking the calm and efficient path
A smile on each face, their intentions, true
Go ahead, test them, make a request
Food and drinks and song and dance
A years worth of fun in eight days or less
You’ll beg to come back, if given the chance
The only regret is, it won’t last forever
So record all the moments with paper and pen
We departed Tortola with a captain and crew
We returned with a new pair of friends

April 2024 BVI Charter
Dear Captain & Chef Ashley
Thank you SO very much for a fantastic week sailing the BVI! This was a bucket list trip for my husband's 40th birthday and we couldn't have picked a better crew for us and our three kiddos. We hit all the spots and the snorkeling was the best - no one wanted to get out of the water - so many fish, stingrays and octopus- CRAZY! We sailed all types of waters - huge waves (the kids loved bouncing around), smooth evenings, wind and some rain ( Soggy Dollar - everyone enjoyed swimming with rain drops in the sea!) - we encountered it all - it was a blast!
Bill thanks for navigating the seas, letting the kids drive the boat and anchoring at all the best spots! The kids loved to ask you one million questions - thanks for answering all of them!
Chef Ash- you are incredible! I don't even know what to say to capture your attention to every meal, snack and drink- it is high end, filled with flavor and ambiance- EVERY SINGLE meal! You went above and beyond making breakfast with the kids, letting them help with dessert and even gave us a "date night" . How special it was to have you on our first charter! You set the bar incredibly high!
Thank you for all the memories, chats and caring for us all week! Excited to see where you all sail next and hope to catch you on the next trip! XO
Jackie, Tim, Luci, Bennett and Maxwell
Bill and Ashley,
This was a bucket list trip for our party of four. So we had no idea what to expect. From the minute we first stepped on board you guys treated us like we were royalty - waiting on us hand and foot.
Ashley, the meals you prepared for us were so over the top we were just blown away. It was like eating in a fancy restaurant three meals a day. All of the attention you give to presentation, food quality, etc. was amazing. And your kind and generous personality was so endearing.
Bill, we enjoyed watching you and Ashley work together as a team. And we loved hearing you describe the Islands, always preparing us for the next cool thing we would be doing. The knowledge you possess as a boat captain was incredible.
But most of all we just enjoyed getting to know you guys. It felt like we were life long friends after all the late night conversations over drinks, the laughs etc. So thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.
The Vervilles + Morgans
Bill and Ashley ,
Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. We super appreciate the accommodating way you managed Niams pescatarianism while still feeding me meat. Each meal made neither of us feel left out. We especially loved that amazing beach picnic, but each meal was a pleasure from the table setting all the way to dessert.
Both of you were so lovely, thank you specifically for suggesting I should complete my PADI advanced open water certification. Bill was a great instructor and a pleasure to dive with. We appreciate him taking the time to plan a terrific dive itinerary while still leaving space for relaxation.
I can honestly say that the service was above and beyond you were both a pleasure to get to know this whole trip was extraordinary. We truly can’t begin to adequately express how amazing this whole experience has been. THANK YOU!
- Jane and Niam
THANK YOU BILL & ASHLEY, Thank you so much for making our vacation so amazing. We loved our time on Flotation Therapy and getting to know both of you. The food was amazing as well as, all of the snorkel trips, kayaks, sails and memories made.
- Paige

Thanks, Phillipe
Bill and Ashley, Thank you for making the best vacation ever! Flotation Therapy will have a special place in my heart. The food was amazing with so much flavor and snorkel trips and scuba were a blast and sailing too! memories that I won’t forget were made.
- Asher
Thank you, Bill and Ashley you guys are the best and really funny
- Noah
Thank you so very much for the invitation, it was such an amazing lunch, done to perfection.
Bill and Ashley are so very sweet and the boat is wow. I would not hesitate to put clients on her. Actually sent her out to the one client I was working for the New Years Charter, alhough they said 4 cabins would be great, maybe they are ok with the twin. I just give it a try. Sonja, Cosmopolitan charters
First and foremost thank you for the most incredible experience/vacation my family has ever had. It was amazing, but you two are some of the best humans we have met. I appreciate everything you have done for us to make this unforgettable. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime, and we have you guys to thank. I consider you guys “old friends“ if not family for life.

Mr. Bill & Mrs. Ashley
We’ve enjoyed this trip so much! It has been a dream of ours to share the BVI sailing experience with our kids and the week has been filled with so many core memories. Ashley, you’re cooking is a dream! Every meal was perfectly planned and we appreciate your special meals for our little Andie girl so much. The kids will never forget your cheesecake, and diving down to find them sea creatures. Mr. Bill, thank you for being so patient and sharing your knowledge of these waters and sailing. We feel like we hit the jackpot for our boat crew. I hope we’ll get to do another journey someday and wish you the best of life over these next few years as your journey continues!
Cheers!
- Shelton, Kate, Madden, Andie and Jack
Dear Ashley and Bill
You are the best crew and friends ever! You have made our stay on the boat more magical than I ever imagined it could be.
Ashley, your meals are the best tasting food I’ve ever had. Meal after meal I wonder how one human being can create such a masterpiece. Also, beyond your incredible meals, you are snorkeling with us is SOOOOO fun! Having an expert with us to deep dive and bring us back awesome treasures. Thank you for sharing your coconut pops with me!
Bill, I cannot begin to explain how extraordinary you are. You can fix anything, and you are the best captain in the entire ocean. You help everyone with everything, snorkeling gear, driving the boat, the dinghy, etc.!
You are the best crew anyone could ask for, wait, not crew… FRIENDS! :)
Love, Madden

Dear Ashley & Bill,
What an amazing week we had, thank you! There wasn’t a detail overlooked, or an adventure missed, or a meal that wasn’t done to perfection! You went above and beyond, and yet made it look so very effortless. Your knowledge of the BVI, and all the amenities on the boat, led us to enjoy absolutely everything we wanted to in our short week… from diving to hiking, snorkeling to shelling, sup’ing to fishing, and even a little bar hopping! We fit it all in without having to make any big decisions or contemplate where we would go each day. Thank you!
The greatest gift to us was being together as a family, disconnecting from the world and getting to know and enjoy the two of you. You are so very skilled at what you do. The meals, snacks, and fancy drinks exceeded all expectation! I’m not quite sure how you pull it off in that tiny galley, and yet each meal was five star, plated to perfection, and delicious. You quietly accommodated our dietary restrictions, and not just during main course, but dessert too!
We are going to miss the bin of Sun Bum, colorful Turkish towels, personalized Yeti’s and much much more!

Bill and Ashley,
Thank you for a spectacular week of adventure visiting the Abaco Islands. The icing on the cake was being aboard Earnout (a gorgeous catamaran!) and having you two as our hosts! You both do a fabulous job of making us feel welcome and comfortable. Plus, every meal was a dining experience beyond our wildest dreams. A Michelin quality restaurant all the way!
Incredible and so worth the year long planning. We had a fabulous time and loved everything! The Abaco's were so peaceful and relaxing. What a wonderful adventure!
We will see you in the BVI!

We had such an amazing time on Earnout! Bill & Ashley create a welcoming & very friendly environment! They take the time to really understand the type of experience you are wanting and then make it happen! Ashley is a wonderful Chef - every meal was amazing! They are very flexible with scheduling - so we were able to alternate our daily travels around the Abacos! The Abaco Islands are beautiful! The views were beautiful; the water was great! Each little island we stopped at was different from the others. Hope Town, Elbow Cay, Turtle Cay - we loved them all! The Thirsty Cuda is definitely a MUST STOP! Earnout is a beautiful Yacht - a lot of space - great places to relax and take in the views. We had all of our meals on the upper outdoor deck and saw some wonderful sunsets! We can't say enough things about our amazing experience! Thank You Bill & Ashley!

Bill and Ashley,
We can’t thank you enough for the unforgettable experience. Every detail was perfection – from the breathtaking boat decorated perfectly to the five-star meals. We are still dreaming about. You poured your heart into every dish, and it showed.
What truly set this trip apart, though, was you both. The way you interacted with our four wild kids – with patients, laughter, and genuine joy made us feel right at home. From the games to the stories, to all the little moments in between, you made magic happen.
Your kindness, attention to detail and clear love for what you do turned this into more than a vacation. It became a collection of memories that we will carry with us forever. From swimming with sharks, to spotting sea turtles, and feeding swimming pigs, to reeling and fish and shaking them off the line to tubing, surfing, and floating down the lazy river. We did it all and we were able to watch the kids light up at every turn. It was all unforgettable. Thank you for celebrating with us and giving us the trip of a lifetime.
With gratitude-
Julia, Clayton, Berkeley, Camden, Cate and Cooper
GUEST REVIEW TO BROKER:
Most AMAZING vacation - cannot recommend DMA, Earnout, Capt Bill, Chef Ashley and John highly enough!!! I wish I could it give it more than five stars. Our entire family agrees our eight days in the Exumas was our best vacation ever. Every aspect of the trip was INCREDIBLE. From the start, working with John Boullin the broker at DMA was a fantastic experience - he was super responsive and knowledgeable finding us the perfect boat for our family of four (two teenage boys). Earnout was top notch - a gorgeous spacious yacht decorated beautifully. Every aspect of the boat and decor so well thought out. It came with tons of water toys that kept everyone very busy when not just relaxing and enjoying the serene beauty. The best part, however, might have been the crew - Captain Bill Holden and Chef Ashley Akers were just incredible. So lovely, friendly and accommodating in every way. Bill would set us up fishing, take us to great spots snorkelling, drag us in dingy through mangroves on a raft he blew up, take us tubing and even instructed the four of us on two intro scuba dives. He did it all so calmly, so kindly and so competently. We felt like we were in such safe and fun hands. Chef Ashley’s food was BEYOND delicious and gorgeous. Every meal was a Michelin 5 star restaurant in taste and presentation. She made us such healthy, fresh and delicious meals - no one left a morsel on a plate even our pickier teenage boys. From sunrise to sunset they were taking such good care of us and ensuring we had the trip of a lifetime. We cannot recommend DMA, Earnout, John, Ashley and Bill highly enough!!!

GUEST BOOK REVIEW:
Dear Ashley and Bill,
We can't even begin to thank you for the most spectacular trip! Everything was completely over the top. You all took such great care of us - so incredibly attentive, Kind and fun. We had such a memorable time – from floating down the mangroves, snorkeling with turtles, to your endless patience with fishing, to taking us to incredible snorkel spots, to whipping the boys around on the tube – the list goes on and on. To top it all off, we couldn't have felt more confident and secure scuba diving with you for our kids first time. everything you did was so thoughtful, capable, and fun.
And Ashley – we were all blown away by your meals not only how unbelievably delicious, but the presentation and decor was truly spectacular. Every meal was like eating at a five-star Michelin restaurant. Somehow in the midst of all of this, the boat was always immaculately clean, and we had cocktails in hand. We were all very spoiled by you both. It was a trip of a lifetime – one we will never forget – thanks to you two. We look forward to joining you both again on Earnout - hopefully soon
with much gratitude,
Jenny, Steve, Case and Jasper
