Dear Tim:

I wanted to let you know what an amazingly fabulous time my wife and I had on our 25th Anniversary charter! "Summer Love is a very special boat. Not only is it much larger than we had anticipated, it is one of the most beautiful vessles I have ever seen. Mike & Demetris have put a lot of loving care into "Summer Love", and it has paid off. The boat is clean, sails great...and that huge stateroom is magnificent! We travelled with one other couple ( although we could have gone with two other couples comfortably)..the arrangements were simple: we had the large ststeroom for the first half, and they had it the second. We stored extra luggage in the third stateroom, and had three heads at our disposal.

Where we got extremely lucky was with the crew of "Summer Love". The skipper, Attalos, was the friendliest, smartest, funniest, and most seaworthy man I know. His English was perfect, and he did whatever we wanted. He was absolutely perfect. The big surprise was with George, the cook. He is actually a gourmet chef hiding out on "Summer Love", Tim, this was like a French barge trip! The food was magnificent... George was an artist.

Needless to say we are satisfied customers. The way the entire charter was handled was professional from the very beginning. There were no surprises, and everything was delivered as advertised.

You may be assured that we will refer our friends to you and that we will most certainly be doing business with you again!

Thanks for making our 26th Anniversary so special.

Best regards,

Paul Rabwin

Dear Tim,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much we appreciate all your work on our recent trip to Turkey. All the arrangements made by Albatross were exactly as planned. Your associates in Turkey were absolutely wonderful and clearly went above and beyond to be helpful. We would highly recommend you and them to any one considering a similar trip. Also our driver on the land portion of the trip was a wonderful young man.

The Gulet, Horizon and its crew were absolutely above expectations and the single best and most important highlight of the trip!

Thanks so much.

Terry

1 June, 2000 Mr Tim Monsul Albatross Dear Tim: In Many years of chartering, I have never had a pleasanter experience than our recent bareboat charter of an Atlantic 44 in the Aegean. Everything from our initial contact with you to the summoning of a before dawn taxi to the airport on our last day in Greece was as smooth and efficient as possible. We shall certainly come back to Albatross for any future excursions in that part of the world. Sincerely, Ted Caplow Albatross June 20, 2000 Hi Tim, Just a quick note to let you know everything was GREAT! The boat was wonderful ( thanks for the upgrade), Aris our skipper was perfect and you office in Greece took very good care of us. Tom and I are already planning our next trip, there are so many islands to see. Thanks for all your help. Michele Dear Tim,   Connie and I would like to extend our thanks to you for a most memorable 25th anniversary cruise!   Our time on the beautiful blue water of the Aegean was most relaxing, and the tours and information from Adonis, most invigorating. Our experience ranges from exhilaration to exhaustion during the cruise from Athens to Rhodes. However, most importantly, we returned refreshed and relaxed, and with many fond memories which will last us a lifetime. Thanks again for your help in organizing such a fine trip. Sincerely, Mark and Connie Rhodes Dear Tim,   This is a note of thanks for everything you did to make our sailboat charter to Turkey such a memorable vacation. It is remarkable how you could make such precise arrangements half way around the world, but that is just what you did. Everything worked out perfectly. Your contact in Istanbul expected to hear from us and gave us excellent directions on how to proceed.   The TG Ellyson is a splendid sailboat. Gordon Abercrombie is an outstanding captain with a delightful assistant in Phillipa. Our week of sailing was great fun and since we, ourselves, are sailors, we could really appreciate the experience. Thank You Again, Marilyn Faden Dear Tim,   Just a note to report to you on our charter trip of "Lydia of Bodrum" out of Mermaris, Turkey between 4/26/97 and 5/3/97.   The trip went very well and all 8 of us on the charter had a wonderful time. In the planning phases I appreciated your promptness and assistance with the selection of the boat. The boat was very comfortable, clean, well prepared, and outfitted. It was very roomy with plenty of space inside and out for people to spread out for their own privacy if desired. The 8 of us comfortably ate both inside the salon as well as outside on the covered aft deck.   The crew was exceptional. Captain Christophe is a superb sailor, as well as being a willing and eager host. He proved to be knowledgeable about the coastal areas and made us all feel welcome and safe. Anu, the cook, dazzled us with her cooking and food presentation. Lynn, the hostess and deckhand, was gracious and attentive. Individually and as a group, the crew were quick to pick up on our individual personalities and interact pleasantly with us. They were fun to be with but never obtrusive.   By traveling early in the season we avoided the later tourist traffic and were able to arrange for very favorable hotel and land travel rates on site. Hotels and local travel agents are willing to negotiate on their rates when not crowded.   Should any of your future clients wish to call or write me, I shall be happy to to share with them any information I have. Thanks for your help in the charter arrangements. Sincerely, David C. Johnson Dear Tim,   I wanted to take a few moments to thank you for helping us to arrange the glorious 12 day cruise of the Greek Islands we took last month.   Everything, from start to finish, was perfect. Miltos, our contact at the Alimos Marina, was so welcoming and helpful. Our captain, Argiris Kaltsounis, consistently demonstrated skill and professionalism and was also lots of fun. As you know, my husband has a captain's license too, and he was really impressed by Argiris' expertise. Our captain was obviously very well liked and we got the best docking spots on each island we visited.   The islands, of course, were fabulous. All nine in our party were thrilled with our itinerary. The vistas were spectacular and each island has it's own special, charming personality. I know that Greek hospitality is part of the Hellenistic philosophy as well as the subject of books and movie but experiencing it was beyond expectation. People were just terrific to us. We have already started planning our next Greek Island adventure.   Again, Peter joins me in thanking you so much for all of you advice and assistance. Sincerely, Marina Schell
