GUEST REVIEWS
Memories From The BVI
Hear from sailors and charter guests who sailed the Dufour 41 with HorizonsVI.
★★★★★
“Sailing the Dufour 41 around Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke was the vacation of a lifetime. The boat handled like a dream in the trade winds, and having 3 private en-suite cabins gave our two couples supreme comfort.”
★★★★★
“We decided to hire a captain through HorizonsVI for our 4-day trip and it was the best decision. Road Harbor departure was effortless, Gareth made sure everything was ready, and the boat is virtually brand new.”
★★★★★
“Everything was top tier. The provisioning was loaded and chilled before we stepped on board, the snorkeling at The Caves was magical, and the Dufour 41 is by far the most stylish sailboat in Tortola.”
