Private Yacht Charters
Foxy Lady in the British Virgin Islands
I'm really enjoying my new found love of private yacht charters. I have to admit the first time a client asked about this, I didn't know where to even begin and I thought the cost was going to be astronomical.
I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised to find yacht charters are actually quite reasonable. This involves just a couple things (budget, number of people sailing and budget). Once I work with my yacht companies they will then send over the yacht options.
The hardest thing for my clients is actually deciding on which yacht to choose for their vacation.
Being on a yacht charter is like an all inclusive resort; the crew cooks gourmet meals for you and for example (if you like to fish you can tuna and can reel one in, you can have fresh sushi). They have speciality cocktails and for those who prefer non alcoholic beverages those are a plenty.
They have sports activities (paddle board, jet skis, tubes and so on. What "toys" they have on board varies for each yacht.
Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms so you have your own privacy, along with an area inside and out for meals.
The experience is very personalized from time of booking until you return. You'll give information on food (likes/dislikes/allergies), what you would like to do, pick an itinerary or build your own itinerary.

Wonderful travel experience despite a rocky start
Reviewed By KB - Rochester, MI | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Jacqueline helped us plan a 2-week trip to Italy in June/July 2022. She was very helpful in the research and planning process and always got back to us in a timely manner when there were questions or if documentation was needed. Our trip was amazing and we can't wait to return, although we did have a very bumpy start when our flight between Boston & Rome was cancelled and we were stranded in Boston for 2 days. This was an airline issue and was no fault of Jacqueline's. During that time, she was constantly available to reshuffle hotel plans, car/train transfers, as well as acting as a liaison between us and Delta Vacations. After the trip, she was an excellent resource for dealing with trip insurance company. We loved our trip and the memories made, and will absolutely ask for Jacqueline's help again when planning our next big adventure!

It was a lot of fun working with you on this vacation and I look forward to helping you plan more in the future.

Vacation time - Ensure the best experience
Reviewed By RPD - Oakland, Michigan | Traveled to Sorrento ~ Italy ~ Europe
Jacqueline takes the time to get to know and understand her clients and their desire. This experience is pretty much the opposite of 'finding a deal online' and then regretting your trip. The stress of detailed planning is completely removed and you can be certain you are getting the best value. It is an important distinction. I have in the past had the best price and then been disappointed in the room, location or service which ruins the whole vacation experience. Working with Jacqueline avoids that risk. My personal time is worth a ton to me and I would not waste one minute trying to navigate the travel minefield these days without an experienced agent assisting me to make wise choices.

Best Travel Agent
Reviewed By Kelsey - Chicago, Illinois | Traveled to Mexico
I had never used a travel agent until Jacqueline. A bunch of my friends wanted to go on a trip to Mexico together, and one of my friends worked with Jacqueline for the whole experience. She made everything so easy, especially trying to coordinate travel with 10 people who all lived in different states.Our trip was amazing and I did not worry about anything leading up to the trip. After that experience, I will only use travel agents now when planning my trips and have worked with Jacqueline on 3 other trips. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and gives great information regarding different places and what her opinion on those places are. I seriously do not have a single worry when planning a trip with her.
I recommend her to anyone I know that is looking to plan a trip. You will not be disappointed if you work with Jacqueline. I can promise that after your first trip booked with her, you will continue to book future trips with her!

Dream honeymoon made EASY!
Reviewed By KAL - Pawley’s Island, SC | Traveled to St. Lucia ~ Caribbean
Jacqueline was amazing!!! We had no idea where we wanted to go when we first started this process. Jacqueline gave us options for the first price range we gave her, and then when we decided we could increase the budget a bit, gave us a whole new set of options without batting an eye despite all the extra work that must’ve required of her! She helped us figure out our destination and then gave us a ton of different resort options which fit our wish list. She booked everything for us even when that meant she had to actually CALL the resort (international!) to clarify room availability. Then when I thought she’d finally lose her mind on me, when I told her we didn’t yet have our passports 😬, she totally didn’t and everything worked out just fine. Working with Jacqueline took so much stress out of this process and I’m so glad I chose to do so!!!!

I must say Jacqueline was a joy to work with. I wanted to reward my grown children with a nice vacation to Jamaica for graduating from college. I reached out to several agents on Thumbtack and Jacqueline was the only one to respond in a timely fashion. She was very polite from the first call to the last. She listened to what I wanted and began working expeditiously on putting a package together. Once I settled on a package she made herself available for questions no matter the day or hour. She kept me informed of flight changes and reductions of cost. I can't express enough of how pleased I was with her expertise and professionalism. This was the best vacation we have ever taken. The smiles on my children's face was priceless. We stayed at RIU Montego Bay and it was beautiful. For a stress-free vacation I strongly suggest allowing Jacqueline to handle all your travel needs.
