"My wife and I, along with two other couples as our guests, spent 7 days on the Serendipity, a Nordhavn 86-foot private yacht. We toured the San Juan Islands in September, 2024. The weather was amazing! We were so pleased with the experience that words cannot describe how great things were!
Captain Kyle, our hostess Erica, Nate our Shipmate and Asisha, our gourmet chef, all treated us like royalty. We’ve done private cruises all over the world. But none of them could compare with this cruise.
The Serendipity is a world class yacht. It’s wonderful and so comfortable to cruise on.
Normally within a few days, I’m like a caged animal wanting off of the boat. This time, when we returned to the marina to disembark, I sat in my chair dreading to leave. All of our guests felt the same as we did. We were also fortunate to get to meet the owner, Eric. Eric is a first-class guy with a very positive karma. He wants the guest on his boat to have a wonderful time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CRUISE. You will have a wonderful trip."
