GUEST COMMENTS 2006 / 2007 / 2008
Date toured: November 2006 Belline II is a 1991 build that Walter and Lela Wegmann have owned since 1996. Walter serves as charter captain, having cruised throughout the Virgin Islands and Caribbean for the past 16 years. I’ve heard more than one reputable charter broker say Belline II is a boat that can be trusted, and that is in large part due to the reputation the Wegmanns have earned over the years. Plus, I know that I felt welcome and safe the minute I stepped onboard. The news for Belline II is that she got a new crew under Walter’s supervision in fall 2006. Melissa Libs and her boyfriend, Matt Neidlinger, chartered the yacht themselves for a vacation and decided they enjoyed life onboard enough to stay and become Walter’s new crew. (Which is interesting, because that’s how Walter got into the business, too, arriving for a vacation and deciding to never go home again.) Melissa and Matt had been onboard less than two months when I met them, and they were working hard to ensure their enthusiasm made up for their shortcomings in the experience department. Before signing on as crew, Melissa was a business manager at an upscale French restaurant in Chicago. Matt was also working in America, as a marketing manager for Hyatt hotels. He’s a licensed dive master who took on the challenge of learning to serve as first mate, while she opted to become stewardess/chef so she could use what she learned in her culinary and pastry courses at the Chicago Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago. Those backgrounds certainly bode well for continued excellent charter service onboard Belline II, especially given the pair’s obvious enthusiasm and Walter’s continued oversight of day-to-day operations. Belline II takes as many as eight guests at an inclusive rate of $13,800, or about $1,725 per person before adding in the gratuity. This yacht does accept MasterCard and Visa, which
is relatively unusual in the charter industry. Also noteworthy is that
scuba divers can dive straight from the boat for a fee of $30 per dive,
or can complete their PADI open-water certification during a charter
instead of working with a separate local company.—Kim Kavin , started by
writing Have the Whole Boat: The Insider’s Guide to Private Yacht
Charter Vacations—the first book ever to offer readers a look at the
entire charter industry from bare boats to fully crewed yachts, and how
they compare to cruise ships. If I could marry your food, I would … Cole, PA Belline ll New Years 2007/8 Walti & Lela Thanks so much for the very enjoyable trip! It was as enjoyable as the last one!

Tortola , June 29-July 6th, 2008 Walti, Steffi and Garry, Thank you so much for a fabulous trip and all those many, many wonderful memories we can take home. The family trip of a life time, best weather, best food, best sail and best new friends. Thank you so much, we will never forget and savor on sweet memories. Gregg, Susan, Matthew, Kate & Abby AZ Tortola , June 22-28, 2008 Walti, Steffi and Garry, This has been the most fantastic week ever! The boat, the scenery, the food, all was so much better than we ever imagined it would be. But your friendliness, humor and knowledge of the area made our trip exceptional!! You guys have been the greatest. We will be doing this again (but will miss you Steffi and Garry L). Thanks for helping us make memory of a lifetime. Mike (shark boy) and Cathy AZ Walti, Steffi and Garry, When we first began planning this trip we thought it would be fun, but we had no idea that it would turn out to be the best vacation we have ever had as a couple! You have all been so welcoming, so friendly and have done everything you could to make this a memorable vacation. The food was delicious and far more wonderful than we ever expected, the scenery undesirable, the company wonderful. We simply couldn’t have asked for more – cannot think of anything that would have made this better. Thanks for being such gracious hosts, for doing so much to provide us with the private, isolated spots we wanted to visit, for simply making this a truly memorable experience. Walti, we will see again! Steffi and Garry, we wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! Kathy and Martin TX Walti, Steffi and Garry, The anticipation of this trip grew with each conversation we had with our friends. The more Steve and I have wanted to sail the islands of Tortola for some time. With this kind of high expectations for this trip, who could have imagined we would leave with those expectations far exceeded. We have traveled quite a bit, yet this has made a place in our memories as the best trip ever. And more, the excitement begins again as we plan a trip again with the Belline II. Thank you all for the warm and gracious hospitality extended to us all. You continued to surprise us, as you always knew what we needed or desired, even before we realized what that could be. As everyone has written, the food, the wine, the scenery, and the hosts made this the most wonderful trip… and we got to enjoy this all with our great friends. We learned how much we appreciate all your efforts. Steffi and Garry we wish you the best together and your next adventures as a married couple. Walti, what can we say – Belline II is you! Until next time, when the flag of the ‘Callipygians’ fly high on the Belline II. Hootie Hoo! Steve and Celia, GA Tortola , June 14-21, 2008 Dear Friends – Walti, Stephanie and Garry, Thanks so much for a wonderful trip which will make for wonderful memories forever. You three made our trip so special. The best thing was floating in the beautiful water and smelling the delicious food being prepared. We can’t tell you how much we enjoyed the meals. They were a ‘culinary delight’. Thanks too for taking us to good snorkeling places. Thank you Garry for fitting me so well with a mask and fins. I (Barb) did my best snorkeling ever!! It was great snorkeling with Steffi since her eyes spotted more than mine. We saw lots. You are very organized and made us feel very much at home. We’re so happy we chose your boat Walti – the Belline II. One last ‘thank you’ for the walk to Bubbly pool, walk at the Bath’s to the Mad Dog for a Bushwhacker and the diving. It was all terrific, thank you! Thank you! Barb and Bill, PA Best wishes to Garry and Steph on your wedding day Belline II – Walti, Steffi and Garry
Memories for a lifetime … You have enriched our lives … Thank you – Pete and Phyllis, PA
Walti, Steffi and Garry, Thank you for the privilege of an outstanding vacation and meeting you three wonderful people! After thinking (and wondering) for about a year what this trip would really be like – you made it a unforgettable week! The company, hospitality and gourmet food (every meal – including breakfast and hors d’ouvre) was spectacular! The scenery, turquoise waters, snorkeling and weather were all great. Wishing you all the very best in the future and hoping to meet all again someday – somewhere. Thanks for the memories! Gail and Jack, PA If you want to visit Hersbuy, Lebanon or the Great Pennsylvania Dutch Country you can stay with us – we’d love to have you! Walti, Garry and Steph, You’ve earned a spot in our harts. May you be blessed for giving so much of yourself. We look forward to seeing you again Mary and Earl , PA Loved my surprise treat! J
Tortola , June 1-9, 2008 Walti, Steffi and Garry Here we are back on the Belline II for the third time and it has been the best trip yet! The BVI is beautiful, but would not be the same without y’all. Everything was perfect. From the Killeritas to the campfire on the beach. Y’all even managed to work through the complications of gluten intolerance and pescatarianism and everything was delicious (even the cookies, Steffi don’t worry)! We will always remember nights with champagne and farkel while listening to that inspiring drum solo from Anegada de Vida. Even though there weren’t really any hot vents and Leslie’s dream was ruined (it’s OK though –she still got a bushwhacker) and we didn’t see the green flash, this will always be one of our favorite vacations! See you in another 3 years! David, Leslie, Alex, Rebecca and Uncle Tony and Aunt Ellen, TX
St.Martin, May 21-29 2008 Walti, Steffi and Garry & Samba You all met and exceeded all my expectations. Great dive spots, anchorages and wonderful food. We look forward to our next adventure with Belline ll. Thank you for making this vacation so special! Remember to drink SIKṺ vodka & Caribbean cocktails. Dennis, FL Walti, Steffi and Garry & Samba Thank you for everything you did to make our vacation so great. Especially want to thank you for helping me to get the open water certified and lading me through my first wreck dive and my first night dive too J !!! If you do get to Florida, we would love to have you stay with us . Thanks again, Vic & Tamara, FL St.Martin, May 11-18 2008 Walti, Steffi,
Garry, Nicole and Time, CO Walti, Steffi, Garry, Thank you for a wonderful week ‘down island’. Gary you are a great dive master; Steffi your cooking and presentation was excellent and Walti – even though we have know each other long before, this trip confirmed my suspicions – that you are a warm, caring person who is truly interested in making your guests as comfortable as possible – rest assured I will book Belline ll often, Thanks again, Cyndee and Dick Wessel ( Charter Broker) Walti, Steffi and Garry, Thank you for arranging such a perfect trip! So thoughtful of you to order 7 days of perfect weather, food fun and friends. Our best to you! Penny and Russ, CO
St.Martin, May 3-10 2008 Walter, Steffi and Garry (and Samba!) The week was even better than expected! Cler became an ‘expert’ diver thanks to Garry and 5 hours underwater – (the only time she kept her cloth on!) – the most photographed on board was Samba – she was great to have along, take to the beach, go on the kayak, I have the biggest bladder I’ve ever seen! Bill spent the week learning to relax and put up with ‘chatty Cler’. The food was wonderful. I can’t wait to go to BVI and Grenada on Belline ll. We achieved our goal of wearing clothes less than I have per day. Phil, AL Walter, Steffi, Garry and Lela and Samba, To Garry and Steffi: The best instructors! The diving was incredible. You have been the most gracious host and hostess. This was a new experience for me, the first of many sailing trips! (on Belline ll). Having Samba on board was a true joy. I love you all so much! XOXO Cler Marie, AL Walti, Steffi and Garry – (and Lela), What a wonderful, relaxing week! I’ve never been to any of these places. I knew I was at home with you – from the very beginning. By the cemetery to the whipped cream nipples! Thanks for all of your hospitality on board Belline ll. Bill, AL
St.Martin , April 21-28, 2008 Walt, Garry and Steffi Belline, bacon, beer, burritos ……. Everything was great! Thanks for showing us the FWI’s. We loved sailing, diving and snorkeling. We’ll remember Gustavia and the $30.- coffees for 3 L. We’ll remember beaches and mudpacks and the champagne that made our clothes fall off. Seared into memory is the site of Walti leaving from the dinghy @ 30 knots as it rounded the back of the boat J. Back to Belline is our way! Chris & Bill,TX
P.S. Death to the French! Tortola , March 27 – April 5, 2008, What an incredible week of positive and beautiful indulgences we shared with Lela, Steffi and Garry. We anticipated this vacation for months and it was everything we thought and lots more!!! Thank you for a week of heaven; we will never forget! Happy sailing! Jeff and Karen,VT Ditto… Chuck and Betsy, FL Lela, Steffi, Garry and Walti (on our last day), Thanks for the experience of a lifetime! We came as 8 great friends and left with more! The cuisine, fun sports, toys, and all of BVI were tremendous! Best of luck on your future adventures! Missy and Craig, VT Lela, Steffi, Garry and Walti, A week filled with wonderful food, big waves, high winds, plentiful conversation (to say the least!) copious liquid refreshments and A-1 Swiss hospitality – not a week any of us will soon forget. Thank you for the huge part you all played on this wonderful vacation. Steve and Rhonda, NH Tortola , March 18-26 Lela, Garry and Steffi, ‘A Class set’- what more can we say? We have had a great time. Perhaps a ‘subdued’ group- but not without inner joy. You have done everything to make our stay enjoyable. Great food! Great Company! And great Boat! And- thank you for taking such good care of my ‘bottom feeder’ J Linda Tilley (and Bob too) Lela, Garry, and Steffi Very nice! This has been a trip of a lifetime and our only wish is that Dale could have been healthy enough to truly enjoy everything. We have enjoyed all the wonderful (no calories) food and great conversations. Wish we had been able to meat Walti – sounds like a great guy. Garry and Steffi hope you have a great life together- Thanks for everything, Dale and Christi, WA
Garry, Steffi and Lela, Thank you! What an amazing piece of the world you guys showed us. Everything – the food, guide, sailing – everything was what I expected and more. The three of you are truly the reason the trip was so great. Best wishes to all of you and what lies ahead. Kirk and Jes, CA Tortola , March 9-16, 2008 Lela, Steffi and Garry, We had a Wonderful time, a perfect vacation. This is our 5th year with Belline and te only thing missing was Walti and Samba. Love and kisses Crissy and Gary, FL
Steffi, Garry and Lela, It’s time to say goodbye for now, but not forever. As everyone else says “we had a wonderful time”. Diving, drinking, eating, sleeping, drinking, snorkeling, and finally drinking (not necessarily in that order) I will never forget this trip, Thank you so much XOXOXO Chris and Brian,FL Steffi, Garry, and Lela: (Walti, you’re with us in spirit) What a great trip! As usual, the food, drinking and company were amazing. I don’t ever want to leave this place, but I must go back to reality. Thanks so much for everything. I will never forget you guys. Steffi, our chit-chats and your wonderful desserts and painkillers will always be in my memory. You are such a sweet person. I know you will be a success at whatever you do. Garry, what a great captain and diver!! I loved the places you took us and the dive sites! Thanks for showing me the sleeping turtle, the shark and the dolphins! Oh and the Eagle Rays!!! Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God… Lela, it was a pleasure finally meeting you in person. You are a very unique and special woman. Good luck at everything you do. Walti, I really wished you could have been with us. I missed you but now I have an excuse to come back to the Belline! I will impress you next time with my diving skills J. Even though you weren’t with us physically, you were spiritually. Thanks again for such a memorable and wonderful trip! Love,Adri J, FL Tortola , March 1-8, 2008 Garry and Steffi, This was our first catamaran cruise and it was such a wonderful trip. Thank you so much for your great hospitality, your friendship, and good times. The highlight I think was our first ever diving experience, that was incredible!! The food was excellent, better than we expected. Thank you so much, we’re already talking about our repeat trip next year!! I’m so sorry Walter couldn’t join us, but hopefully next year!!! Marylou and Bob , TX Garry and Steffi, Where do we begin? The food, the scenery, the snorkeling or diving? No- the friendship!! You both were so awesome-you made us feel right at home on the sea. This was the trip of our lifetime! That I promise! It will be hard for us to ever top this. We wish you all the best and hope to somehow keep in touch with you and know how you are doing! Hope to see you again Thank you for everything, God bless- Sharon and Greg, TX Steffi and Garry What to say? You made us all feel like a team. This trip was great for all of us. So let Teri and I say this to you. Good luck in you future. Your upcoming marriage and a family if you so choose to have one. Life is sometimes a circle. If we meet again that would be great. We welcome you to our house. So that words really don’t do justice to how we can express our great time. I’ll leave you with this. If you are in Dallas or Rockport you better look us up. This has been the best trip ever! First of all Steffi-the minute I met you I realized you are a soul mate. Garry couldn’t be more ‘the host with the most’. You guys made every day a wonderful event – well-planned, smooth and awesome food. We hope to keep you in our lives … U R the best! Bill and Teri, CA Steffi and Garry This has been a trip of a life time. You both made it the best!! Great food and people. We wish you both the best in your future travels. Thank you again!! You guys are the Best Love Meegan and Don, CA Tortola , Feb 12-20, 2008 Walter, Steffi and Garry, You guys did WAY more than you had to, to make this a great cruise. You didn’t just go the extra mile, you went several extra miles. Only one complaint; Walter, it’s not nice to humiliate your guests with a backgammon board. Hope we can be back soon! Tom and Linda Walti, Steffi and Garry, What an amazing adventure. It was even better than I dreamed it would be. Thank you for your gracious hospitality. Now I will dream about the day I get to visit my Caribbean friends again!
Rachelle (Chelle) Walti, Steffi, and Garry, Aside from the wonderful food and beautiful surroundings, what made this week so memorable was the comradely that we had with you. Your intelligent conversation, friendships and helping hands are sincerely appreciated by all of us. It is obvious that relationships are as important to you as they are to us. Steffi, Chelle and I loved our girls outings too! I hope that we can return soon to make more memories- Warmest regards, Becki and Bob Tortola , Feb 1-7th 2008 Dear Walter, Garry and Steffi Bill and I had a wonderful time abroad Belline (I will write for all) so ditto for Glenn, Cindy, Beth, Tony, George and Kathy. The food and the service were fabulous, beyond expectations. The boat accommodations were perfect, everything clean and well maintained, comfortable and casual. The week was just the right mix of relaxation, diving, partying and touring the beautiful BVI’s. What a beautiful place to be in your business! Thanks for everything- Laura, Bill, Cindy and Glenn, FL Beth and Tony Thanks for everything!
Walter, Steffi, Garry, Thanks for the great time and for letting me save your ‘dinghy’. Great party and great memories, stay in touch. George and Kathy

It just doesn’t get any better … Hope you make it to Arixona so we can entertain you. Phil and Shelby, AZ Tortola, Jan 6-13 2008 Walti & Lela Lela, I bet you wondered what you were getting into when we requested no garlic to keep the vampires away. You met our request and the food couldn’t have been better ! Walti, loved your sense of humor and awesome care of us. Cant believe you dive 40ft no snorkel to find a snorkel. Wow!

It is truly beautiful down here and all the added pampering really made me feel spoiled – so I guess you can say you did your job well!

Hopefully, we can come back! Nancy and John, CA
Walti, Garry, Steffi and Lela, We loved our ‘blustery’ cruise aboard Belline II! Your boat handles the weather beautifully and we enjoyed the ride! You all worked hard to make our experience a wonderful one… and it was! Thank you © We hope we can come again and cruise the coves we couldn’t make. Tannis and Brian , CA Loved the wind! 40 days & 40 nights @ 40 knots Tortola , October 19-25 2007 Walti & Lela Our time spent on Belline ll with the both of you was absolutely fantastic ! You provided wonderful experiences for all with such ease. The gourmet meals were a delight - we will be doing a lot of walking on our return home. Belline ll will be highly recommended by us ! Pat & Lin , LA Walti & Lela Life in the deep blue sea- how wonderful! It was great sharing this past week with you on Belline ll.

August 6th 2007 Mel, first of all, you’re the greatest cook on the planet! Second of all, if we get to come back, me and you will DOMINATE in Nertz and will get to do much more “hand pumps” and also be able to yell “Freakin’ Nertz” MUCH more! You’ve made the vacation very enjoyable! Thanks a bunch! Hope to see you again! Matt-your impression of the 7 year old gangster was awesome. I don’t know how the boat would be clean without you because every where I looked you were the cleaning! I’ll miss experiencing the “silent killer” in Nertz! Thanks for making this one of my most enjoyable experiences! Walter, thanks for helping me get over my fear of Scuba diving! Also, for teaching me how to play backgammon, even though you totally kicked my butt! Hope we see you soon! Thanks for everything! Natalie Mel-Obviously the food on this trip was superb. And thank you for being so understanding of our family’s relationship with dessert. Everything was great. Thank you for being so…cheerful at almost ALL times. Again, you made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Now, for the card playing and chatting…thank you! You are freakin’ hysterical. You guys MUST come visit if or when you are coming through Indy. You’re the greatest! We’re coming back…with friends. Matt-Thank you so very much for everything you did to help make this trip so enjoyable. You helped me get over (mostly) my unwarranted fear of the barracuda. Climbing the rock was a blast, and thank you for being so patient. Again, thanks for being so easy to get along with. We had a blast just chatting and allowing you to kick our behind in Nertz. Also, I’ve got some new drinks to try out in Indy. You guys HAVE to come through whenever time allows! Thanks! Eric and Bridget Thanks so much for an incredible trip! My warmest heartfelt thanks for being so great with my kids in many ways, not to mention also, with me. “Patience”, “Understanding”, “Kindness” and “Laughter” weren’t in the on-line description of what we could expect on a Belline II charter. We came for the food, the Scuba certification, the sailing, et al; but the things above are what really made this trip a “one in a lifetime” experience. I’m hoping it will be more than once in a lifetime for us as we look towards future family vacation experiences. This trip would not been the same for ANY of us without EACH of you. The unexpected things were some of the best things about this trip. Even the “expected” things were “better than expected.” Amazing food, being greeted by Walter with foie gras in hand, Natalie actually Scuba diving and enjoying it with no ear issues, Matt’s “mixtures”, me and Mel both getting to say “Nertz!”, how you made the vacation for me great despite my back issue. Watching the kids sit in the pulpit seats in the waves, listening to music even my kids didn’t know, watching Matt be an “angel”-always making sure everyone’s ok without being seen. All of these and many more, again thanks, and God bless your lives. Thank you so much, Mark
July 22nd 2007 There really aren’t enough words-or enough time to adequately describe how warm, wonderful and fun you all are. You brought us into your home with open arms and smiles. From meeting Walter at the airport (thank you for the honeymoon roses) to your first glass of champagne, to right this second-we felt your love. The scenery was beyond description-however came to life with your “Guided tours”. From the “Reflecting” pool to the hermit crabs to Mad Dog to Snorkeling to the “photo ops”. Every moment was made more memorable because of you three. Every meal was incredible and we really love your “dining room”! Your attention to detail, your genuine concern, your patience, your attentiveness to our wishes is all heartfelt. We all laughed, giggled, told stories, had a “few” painkillers and bushwhackers and had tons of fun. We recognize the amount of work it takes to run your boat…24/7! Mel, your food was ALWAYS RIGHT ON. And so is
your smile. Thank you! Walter, you are a gentleman, a great sailor, a new friend and oh yeah, a great backgammon player-even though you are not that competitive! We can’t thank you enough. You are welcome in our home anytime (Mel you will/will not have to cook?) Thank you for making our honeymoon beyond belief. Tons of love, July 14th 2007 I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said…it exceeded my expectations! Great food, beautiful boat, terrific entertainment! You guys are the best crew! Matt, thanks for your patience. I can’t imagine a better host and “tour guide.” We will NEVER forget Foxy’s. We will be talking about that for years!! We will be back (with less luggage). If you guys are ever in Houston, I expect a call and visit. Looking forward to next time- you helped make this trip the best anniversary ever! Steve and Linda What an amazing vacation! The food was excellent! We enjoyed getting to know weach one of you, we couldn’t ask for a better host. This has been a week we will never forget, what a great experience. Thanks for everything! We will be back, Debbie and Robert What an amazing vacation! It was absolutely perfect! The scenery is breathtaking, the food was amazing, and we loved diving! Walter, thank you for making us feel so comfortable and letting me stay glued to your hip! Matt, thanks for being and awesome tour guide-we loved having you hang out and talk with us! Mel-everyone mentions your cooking, which was great, buy you were a lot of fun to talk with…good luck with all of your future plans! Thank you again for everything, Ben and Amber Thank you for making our first trip to the BVI a memorable one! The accommodations, service and food was more than we could’ve imagined. We will treasure our experience and your friendships! Best wishes for many, many more wonderful seasons! Brandon and Ashley July 7th 2007 When we read these comments, well, it’s all been said. So-all we have left is: “TO” Cathy and Mac Matt-Thanks so much for ending the slug fest. Diving, kayaking, noodling, island drinks! Melissa-The food was sooooo good. Don’t ever stop! See you in “O” town! Belline II- YOU EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS! Thanks for the most relaxing vacation ever! We will carry you in our hearts for the next 25 years! Hope to see you soon! Sherry and Dave , 25th Wedding Anniversary July 6th 2007 Once again, 8+ years later-we returned with our children and had the time of our lives. The kids so enjoyed themselves, the diving, the “dolphin”, the rock jumping, fish catching, great food, great times, playing cards. We look forward to another trip again-hopefully sooner than 8 years-“Ryan is willing to work it off!” We love you and will miss you! Love, Susan Walter, had a great time hope to see you after high school. Mel and Matt, hope to see you when you go to New York . Hope to play cards then. I’m gonna miss you guys, Ryan PS. Mel, call us when you get your black jack win
in Vegas! Thanks for the great vacation, I had a really good time. Jumping off the huge cliff and swimming with the dolphin was awesome. Mel, you’re a really good cook. Have a good time on the boat and maybe I’ll see you guys soon. Walter, you’re an awesome captain! Zach Thanks for everything. We had a great new adventure everyday. I was able to relax, laugh, sleep, eat and drink at my choice…simple things are the best. Each one of you added a touch of your own personality to our adventures! I look forward to meeting my new (Matt and Mel) and old (Walter) friends again. You’re always welcome in our home. Please take me up on the offer, as I would love to be your “host. Rich June 16th 2006 My first trip to the BVI. I can’t imagine doing it any other way. Words can’t describe this amazing experience. You all made me feel so comfortable right out of the gate. I am leaving the BVI with 3 more friends and COUNTLESS memories. You can count on seeing me again. Sail Away, Jim Walter, Mel and Matt, See you in the near future, Patti Thank you so much for such a great week! How did you order the great weather? From the sailing to the SCUBA diving, everything was fantastic. Matt and Mel, if you are in Bloomington you are always welcome at our home and a great meal at Yanko’s (we will have Jim pay!) Mel, I have to go back and lose 10lbs because of your excellent cuisine. We’ll be back soon, Blowing Wind in Your Sails, Kelly Thanks for all! Couldn’t have been better. Everything was wonderful. Thanks again for the wonderful treatment over the last week. All the best! Cheers! Chris It has been seven days since we met you and yet
it feels like I have known you longer. I greatly appreciate getting to
know each and every one of you and hearing about all your experiences on
sea as well as B.S. (Before Sea!) Kindest Regards, Heather June 2nd 2007 Wow-like I have said all week!! Walter, Mel & Matt, thank you so much for an unforgettable week. Highlights are too many to list but everyday was perfect and an adventure. The food was outstanding as was the captaining! Jessica Completely exceeded every expectation we had for this trip. We felt like we were on vacation with great friends, including the crew. You are like friends. The food was over the top and that comes from a fellow foodie. Thank you for all the advice on where to go to make this such an amazing trip. It included everything we would ever want in a vacation. We’ll be finding you again. Cheers, Mel and Patti Words cannot express the amazing time we had this last week on the Belline II. Your hospitality was better than anyone could ever ask for-all three of you are absolutely wonderful people and Derek and I are so happy to have met and spent this time with you. The food, scenery and company will forever be remembered. Thank you so much for the special time spent on refreshing Derek on diving and the beautiful keepsake you brought back for me, Walter! Good bye for now…hope to see you again. Derek and Jeana We thought after our last charter that we could not have a better time. Well…I was wrong. The weather, the islands and the people were amazing. But what made the difference was the 3 of you. I can’t tell you how special you have made this adventure. We talk a lot about changing our lives, but we never do anything about it. You may have been the catalyst to do what our hearts truly yearn for. Thank you, Brian May25th 2007 What an absolutely wonderful vacation. Your local knowledge of the islands, reefs, dive spots and friends was a great extra. Matt and Mel’s consistent attention to every detail and our needs was incredible. Mel’s culinary expertise was beyond our dreams. I will be your best word of mouth and you can expect business coming from me! Will be back ! Whenever in SW Florida, call us, we have many extra rooms and we would love to take you boating. Dennis and Laura It’s hard to express how great a time we had. Your hospitality was amazing. We all had such a great time-we don’t want to leave! We will be back! A special thanks to Walter for all of the patience and help with my diving. You really made me comfortable. Mel, I will think of you every day as I try to lose all the weight I gained! Matt, thanks for being our tour guide everywhere and taking such good care of us. All three of you truly made this the perfect vacation. Thank you. We will miss you. Vic and Tamra May 14th 2007 Great trip-quiet, peaceful, enjoyable, a wonderful escape. Hopefully Walter will be a better backgammon player during our next visit-I will give him some time to practice and maybe Walter can become Backgammon Kind of the World! Food was wonderful. Harvey and Marcia We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed everything (even getting into your arm in the dinghy, Matt). Come visit us. Don and Eunice When you visit Florida, be sure to call! Room for free-we can have fun- Had a great time, Tony and Mary Ann May 7th 2007 We had an incredible week. Since we are new to the sailing vacation, we had no expectations. What we ended the week with was a desire to do more trips like this one. Thanks for the wonderful food! We definitely ate our share of delectable, gourmet breakfasts, lunches and dinners. It was a beautiful week that enable us to bond with great friends and a nice crew! Joan and Gunther What a great trip! You ordered up the perfect weather for us! I’m so excited that I have had my first sailing trip of no seasickness…that is a big accomplishment! We had so much fun in all the beautiful spots you took us to…especially the SPA! Can’t wait to see those pictures! Snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, walks on the beaches, amazing food…a little adventure! It was all great! Thanks for everything! Please keep in touch! I want to hear about all your sunny days on the water! Walter-if your friends in Tuscany ever need a house sitter…you know who to call! Hopefully we will be back on the Belline II very soon for another incredible trip! Thanks so much! Kara Hey Crazy Midwesterners and CRAZY Swissman- Don’t make me go! I really will break something if you’d make me stay and do dishes to pay off my debt! Alas, I know I must go. But really, thank you so much for spoiling us, feeding us, getting us drinks or champagne, taking us snorkeling, waterskiing, navy-sealing, beaching, floating, knot-tying, relaxing. Thanks for everything-one of the most relaxing and exhilarating weeks of my life-I SO hope I will be back, and you are all 3 welcome in my gorgeous neck of the woods anytime you need a dose of the mountains. Cheers! Our first “Cat” voyage and what a wonderful experience! We’ve been pampered beyond belief-I believe champagne for breakfast will become a ritual on special days at home! We will hopefully get close to duplicating your tuna tartar and will remember you all when we eat it! We will share many stories with Joan and Gunther, Todd, Cara and Ali over the years-keeping this week as always-special time for each of us. Best to you, Karen and Bruce April 22nd 2007 I must say, of all the times I’ve passed through these waters, which is many, many times, I have never had the pleasure of experiencing it with your “eyes.” You made the reefs seem more vivid, the sky bluer, and the water skiing easier. I really felt I was at your “home” and traveled to your neighboring villages. Thanks for your hospitality, and allowing us to be on this beautiful vessel. This is a definite do-over! Cathy PS. Oops, forgot to say how great Matt and Mel were. Constantly there to help and answer my endless questions. Great food too! My 2nd voyage on Belline (1st time, April 1998) Dan, Caroline and Steve, Frank & Jessica, Kathie (K1) and Cathy (C2). (All right! Maybe we’re not done!) T’was the morning we were leaving, You did a great job of making this a great vacation. Thanks! April 8th 2007 Wow! Our trip was amazing. Thank you so much for making everything just perfect. The dives, the slalom water skiing, the incredible vistas, the fabulous food and most of all, your ability to make everyone HAPPY! I will often think of you guys and our fun filled days aboard the Belline II. My only regret is having to go home. I am not going to say goodbye, just “we’ll see you again”, hopefully sooner rather than later. Walter you are the perfect teacher. Matt & Mel, good luck with your endeavor! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your friend,Susan Here are some words to describe our trip: Christian WOW! This trip couldn’t have been more fun. You guys are a great bunch of people and I wish we could see you again sometime. Walter, I’m sorry Christian and I had a chocolate fight in your kitchen. Climbing the rocks (more like jumping the rocks) was amazing. You are one of the only people I could trust for that. Your boat is beautiful and hopefully we will see you again sometime. Matt, thanks a bunch for taking us knee boarding. I don’t think I would have left here without nailing my 360! Going through the tunnel when we were snorkeling was pretty crazy. Melly, wow, I’m gonna really miss your cooking. You were my 30 year old friend on this trip. I loved swimming under the boat with you and diving off the cliff. I’m always up for something new and I think you are too. Anyway, I hope I see everyone soon and thanks so much for making this a very fun and memorable trip. I will always remember you guys. Love,Courtney PS: Happy birthday Mel! 30 goes a long way!
What an amazing trip. Makes me want to do it all over again. I will be back so we can swim with the turtles and the fish. You guys are an awesome crew. I wish you the best. Hopefully next time Waltie can keep his promise of no rain or clouds, ha ha. Despite the weather, I loved the trip. Love you guys, Adriana Thanks for everything! See you next year! Love & Kisses, Cissy & Gary March 25th 2007 What a wonderful time! We can’t thank you enough for a fabulous time. We have chartered before-but have never had such a great time before this charter. The three of you were great-and treated us like family. We will never forget you guys and we hope to charter with you again. Steve & Nina March 17, 2006 Thank you so so much for such a fun week. It was probably the quickest (meaning most fun/amazing week) of my life so far. Maybe if college doesn’t work out for Erica and me we can come down and work as crew on the Belline? Mel, the food was absolutely incredible and I even like dishes and foods that I normally don’t. The birthday cake was so good too. Thanks! Matt, those piña coladas were the best especially when paired with dinghy rides and water-skiing. Walter, I loved when you took pictures up my top and skirt, and I’m really glad you had so many good times slaloming with your water ski. This was such a fun week. Thank you so much for everything. Hopefully we’ll get to come back sometime. We’ll miss you! Love, Rose From the moment we walked through Customs at the airport and were greeted by “tall, dark and handsome” Walter, I knew this would be a wonderful week. Mel and Matt-Midwesterners-the only NORMAL people from USA-you two managed to take care of all of us-Matt and skiing, etc, Mel-delicious delights from the galley! Thank you ALL for making us feel so welcome. This will be a week we will always remember fondly! Goodbye, Belline! Don’t forget us! Call us when you come to NYC! We’ll take care of you! Love, Susan Thanks for everything! I had an awesome time even though my tonsils were trying to kill me. Good luck with everything and stay cool! Love, Erica PS: Get Mel a puppy! Jay Thanks for an amazing trip, II am going to try and convince my mom to come back. The food was amazing. Thank you for taking me wakeboarding, it was lots of fun. See you soon, hopefully! Mike Thanks for the fun trip. Thank you Matt for taking us water skiing and for the short time tubing before Erica broke the tube. Mel the food was amazing. Walter, have fun sleeping with your skis. Cam
We were married at Jost Van Dyke and sailed with you on our honeymoon. We wanted a trip where we could relax and that is exactly what we did. Thank you so much for doing EVERYTHING. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend the Belline II any day. We will see you in a few years with my Aunt Pat and family! Love, Feb 17th 2007 Thanks for giving us such a great experience. We can’t believe how quickly the time past. Thanks for your hospitality, service and kindness. This will be one of our most memorable vacations. Mel, thanks for all the great food and attention. Matt, you’re a great mate. Thanks for letting me drive the boat. Walter, can’t say enough about the captain. We learned a lot from you and appreciate all you did. Jerry and Linda John and Jenny You all made our week so special. We truly appreciated all the service and tender-loving care. We loved all the places we visited, the food, the companionship and the weather. Walter we value your friendship. Please give our best to Lela and Samba. We shall return! Bob and Pam Patience & David Jan 2nd 2007 Mel: Thanks for always leaving the bacon/pork out
of my food. It has been a great, memorable trip-words cannot describe how we all feel. Lots of love,Rene, Hina, Alex and Giselle Thanks to the best crew ever! See you again soon, Alex Thank you so much for everything! You guys were amazing and helped make this the best vacation! I wish I could stay here with you guys and not go back to Michigan! You guys are awesome and thank you again! Love,Giselle As I sit here this morning, soaking up the morning sun, knowing I am only a few short hours from departure, I feel a little sad. Sad to leave all this beauty and pampering. Getting back to the “real” world will take a bit of adjustment. You provided us with not only the “required” expectations of any cruise but, many extras as well. Walter, your wit and understanding made for successful dynamics among eight very different personalities. Mel, your cuisine was excellent. If I didn’t gain weight, I should have. Matt, what an intelligent, hard working, ambitious, talented person you are. The three of you worked as a wonderfully tuned “team,” insuring a fun, relaxed and pleasant trip all the way from St. Martin to Tortola. . Please know that you will hold a special place in our memories and our hearts. Love,Peter and Jill Dec 16th 2006 This week felt like considerable less than 7 days . Thanks to all of you and a most beautiful environment. Mel, you only thought you weren’t a vegetarian
chef…. You are the best ! Matt, you do way more than clean Belline ll . Walter , we never did know you were “sinkin” but they were always good ideas. And thank you all so much for everything you do way more than simple accommodate our idiosyncrasies and we so appreciate you. Much, much, much appreciation. The Khalsa family Nov 26th 2006 I had such a great time and much fun too. The food was great , everything was great , love you all, Mallory (11) When I learned that my dad won this trip again I

Thank you for the greatest vacation ever! The food was outstanding, beyond our expectations. Tommy was wonderful with the boys. When the children are happy , we are happy! We are both very active families and we were all worn out each day attempting exiting adventures such as the rock climbing at The Baths. The Clintons & the Stephensons ,
Rock Hill, SC June 25th 2006 Its been a great week. The best part was my 100 lb barracuda that was 6ft. long! That's how we tell fish story's in the south. Everything was wonderful the food was fabulous. Thank you ! Thank you for a wonderful week- it was all we expected and more! We all appreciate the extra beer, Crown Royal and Tommy's floor show! Thank you for a wonderful vacation. This
truly was the vacation of a lifetime and it only took me 23 years to get
to come to the islands again. Everything was fabulous and done with an
impeccable treat! The hostess and hosts of all times - we
thank you for your impeccable taste, delightful company and cuisine . No
matter what time we arose, Lela & Samba were there… all night

people! So smart , wise , mature and witty ! (quick witted =
schnädderi-schnudderi) Walter you are the man! This obviously is the
best boat in the Caribbean . I cant wait to come back for the third
time. Work on the magic trick Walter, because I expect you to fool me
next time. And at that time I'll kick your ass at backgammon ! diving
was super! And of course, the food WOW! Linda & Shawnie, Debbie & Steve
, Suzane & Ron June 8th 2006 Thank you so much for a wonderful
experience in the BVI's. We could not have asked for a better boat, crew,
dog, experience or anything else . The food , wine and hospitality that
you showed us will not be forgotten. You made our honeymoon so much more
wonderful than we ever imagined. We especially appreciated the "guided"
tour of the baths. Us rookies didn't realized what there was to offer
the first time we were there. Maria & Scott, Ventura, CA June 3rd 2006 Thank you for everything. I love you! It was wonderful as usual and once again I hate to leave. But until next time, next year … Love to you all on board the Belline ll. Give my love to the musicians at the Last Resort and tell them not to use any other bag pipers than me. Long live the bag blues… Kim & Paul, New Orleans LA Chris , NY May 28th 2006 Thank you for everything! This trip felt like we were living with family & friends and you were amazing.

If you ever come to the states let me know. I would welcome you all into my home anytime ! Mandy , Salem NH May 28th 2006 Wow! You were an amazing support team

perfect . John & Kim
This has been a fantastic week of "firsts"
for the Scott family : Thank you so much for a wonderful
vacation full of memories. All the little extra touches, like the
creative posing of all the stuffed animals in the girls' cabin and
Lela's willingness to accommodate the less than gourmet menu requests of
the four year old, made this one of our best vacation ever! We would be
happy to tell anyone considering a vacation with children on the Belline
ll that their children will be completely happy and busy. Matt & Sally, Peter & Kim, Elsa

We have had a fabulous vacation on the
beautiful Belline ll this week. You are excellent chefs , I cannot
remember ever eaten so well on a trip and we take many trips… Suzanne & David, Herndon VA April 7th 2006 It was one of the most incredible weeks
of our life-what started as a phone message where we have been "very-very
concerned" turned into a week of lapping up every morsel of food on
our plates & asking for 2nds and 3rds . More than anything, you were
gracious hosts showing us your world & the BVI's in a way we will
never forget! Gayle & Harris , Weston, CT April 7th 2006 We have had the most incredible week aboard Belline ll. Our only regret is that Lela couldn't be with us for the whole week. But we are so glad she made it for the last days and she is feeling better ( dengue feverL ) our deepest and most sincere thanks to Walter & Tommy for making our trip so memorable. The food was out standing and you both are great chefs ( and I had concerns … ha-ha ) the sailing, drinks, snorkelling & hospitality were so much more than we could have hoped for.
