everything each of you did! And we will be using your recipes... and thinking
of you & all the fun we had! Enjoy the rest of your life's adventure. As

" Steve & Joanne Mandell New "Randy & Shelly, Thank you for a
wonderful time You are terrific hosts and fun to be with! Shelly, you are a
wonderful cook! We ate, rested, drank, ate, rested, drank, drank, snorkeled,
drank, and ate some more...fun!" Marsha and Barry Salmon “What a fabulous time we had! Great
food, fun times and wonderful company! Thanks especially to our crew for

Randy, Shelly & Meredith you are amazing! Come on ya’ll we’re
having a ball on the Three Moons!” - The Olde Year’s Night Krewe ~ "We enjoyed our week on Three
Moons so much! We were treated like royalty by Randy, Shelly & Meredith.
I really appreciated all the special courtesies extended to us. We had the
feeling that they really liked us just as much as we liked them! The food was
excellent and beautifully presented. The sailing was lovely. I'm trying to
remember the wind, the sea, the sky and the gentle rocking of the boat just
in case I never get to go sailing again...such a lovely peaceful
feeling." Jim & Marion Jones "From the moment we arrived
and were greeted by Randy, Shelly & Meredith, we have never been
treated with such caring attention for our every need and wish. Chef Shelly's
first meal made us all think we were in a dream world. Never has a gourmet
restaurant provided a more elegant and wonderful meal. This continued
throughout our trip. Every detail was paid attention to and made our trip
most enjoyable. We especially loved the moment when Meredith surprised us
with homemade Valentine's cards and candy. This is truly a trip we will never
forget!" Jim & Carolyn Cook "We loved every minute of our cruise
on the Three Moons. Randy, Shelly, and Meredith are wonderful in anticipating
our every need and want. This week has definitely exceeded our expectations.
It's hard to believe we have had gourmet meals 3 times a day (and appetizers
too!), each one a very special event in presentation and taste. Thank you all
for a perfect week!" Gilbert and Mary Meade Hollifield “We wish to say we had a marvelous time
with the Moon family. From the initial Friday swim to the final hugs goodbye,
we will long remember "zero pulse" week. Randy, Shelly and Meredith
“Mini-Moon” made our stay a week of bliss in paradise. Their skill,
friendliness and good humor made for a wonderful week! ~MM & Friends Dear Shelly, Randy and Meredith -- Thanks
for such a wonderful time aboard Three Moons! We all enjoyed a most relaxing
and fun-filled three days with you. We loved getting the pictures today --
thanks for sending them to us! (And, our camera did turn up in one of our
many bags!) You three really made us all feel welcome
-- especially the children! The food was so delicious (Justin already has the
cookbook open, and has made a grocery list so we can get cooking!), the sailing,
card playing, snorkeling, water skiing, French picnic, card playing, magic
tricks, foot massages, card playing, scenery, sun rises, rum punches,
sunsets, moonrises, and (did I mention??) card playing -- were all the best!
If we are ever lucky enough to find ourselves looking for another sailing
vacation -- we'll be calling for you. Enjoy the rest of the season. Fondly, Mary Lee, Bill, Patrick, Sarah and Justin Dolly & FJ March 20th, 2004 "Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation.
This trip has created a lot of great memories for us. Shelly-your meals were
great along with the great Spa Treatments! We loved C.C's birthday. It was a
great celebration with your special cake. Randy-we will be back to beat you
in playing cards! Meredith- we are so glad you finally got to see the movie
Pirates of the Dick, Cornie, Ainsley, Trinie, and C.C. April 4th, 2004 “Arrived back in We'll send photos soon. Thanks again for making the trip so
special. Brooke, Micki, Kate, Alex and of
course, Bumpa “Just a short note to say
that I had a wonderful time aboard the SS Three Moons and to thank you all
for your warm and charming hospitality- note the absence or reference to
food. There is a good reason for that omission and that is I have put on some
3 pounds of love, one for each moon, and I chose to ignore it. "Dear Randy, Shelly & Meredith, What a wonderful vacation!!! We have
taken many family vacations and we all agree that this is the best we have
ever had. Your Southern hospitality and ease you displayed was a special
blessing. The food you prepared was delicious and always so beautiful. I'm
still remembering all the great meals and hope to try out some of your
recipes this weekend. You all
anticipated our every need and seemed to know exactly what would work best
for our family. Thank you for all your preparations and thoughtfulness in
making this a memorable vacation for our entire family." The Barkers William, Carol, Will, John & Blair "It was amazing. I get to travel
to some pretty wonderful places, but this was by far the best thing I have
ever done. I feel as if I've made lifelong friends with Randy and Shelly.
They are incredibly delightful. The cooking was extra special. The only awful
thing was that we only chartered for 4 days. It couldn't have been more
perfect. Three Moons was a terrific match. I learned a catamaran is not for
me. I love sailing, and you just can't get the same experience on a sailboat.
We will be back again and again. I consider Three Moons to be a second home
for me." Sherry & Ken Fardie "Thank you so much for your
gracious hospitality. Not a moment was spent that I didn't feel the
extraordinary effort and perfect planning it took to make us all feel completely
comfortable and pampered to the max. We dined on delicious cuisine, shared
great moments with friends, snorkeled, danced and laughed aboard the glorious
Three Moons." Nancy Hassett Vail, "This was a perfect vacation, great
people, beautiful water and islands. Thanks for making this trip such a
wonderful experience!" Elaine & Gary Gross "Thank you for making our vacation in
paradise all that we hoped for and more. Thanks for creating so many wonderful
memories for us on this trip. They will live in our hearts for years to come.
You exceeded our every expectation by a mile! Your care concern, kindness
and, above all, professionalism are hallmarks of your business. Three Moons
became and felt like home. It was like being with old friends. We hope to
have the chance to sail with Three Moons again someday. Happy Sailing!" Clara & Bill Blanding "Thanks for a great trip.
Everything was perfect-the sailing, snorkeling, hiking, food &
drink...not to mention the company & Crew. You really know how to put on
a good cruise! Looking forward to another trip in the future." Wayne Blanding "You've turned our dream trip
of sailing on a yacht into reality for us and it has been wonderful. Shelly's
cooking was out of this world~ better than any restaurant in Bob & Sandy McLuckie July 3rd, 2004 We cannot Thank you enough or compliment
you nearly enough! You have exceeded our expectations and we will often
recall how impressed we were with everything. We will be BACK! What we
thought was a once in a lifetime trip will instead be the first of
many!" "This has been the most fun trip we
have EVER taken. Your hospitality is flawless~ you make us feel so welcome
and you created a lot of fun times for us. We have enjoyed your food
immensely and we've really had a good time in your company. The yacht is
beautiful. You have so many nice touches that make it a comfortable and so
pretty. You entertain with such grace. We feel we are your guests, not just
your clients. We will think of this week with fond memories and lots of
laughter. Here are some of our favorite moments: John's 40th
Birthday Surprise trip and party, island hopping,
beach hanging, hammocking, drinking, eating
well...very well! Playing cards,
swimming, bar hopping and a whole lot
of laughing! John & Jennifer Spencer July
3, 2004 "We cannot express in words how much
we have enjoyed our vacation! We really didn't know what to expect and had
never done anything like this and we've been so pleasantly surprised! You really
have perfected your niche. Thank you for welcoming us into your home and
providing such hospitality! We really feel like you have made our trip so
special. We will never forget our trip to the BVI. We wish you great luck in
the next few charters ahead for we know you will be wishing it was our group!
Best wishes to you! Long live Health, Happiness & Rum Punch! I only have
one more thing to say... 'People who need
people are the luckiest people in the world!" Donnie & Christy Martin July 3, 2004 "I had no idea what to expect. I
only knew that this was a chance of a lifetime. Thanks to the Crew~Randy,
Shelly & Meredith. This adventure exceeded my every expectation. The food
& fun filled the days! I've never eaten so much fabulous food in my life!
The islands we saw & visited will remain forever in my mind. Thank you so
much for making this vacation the most enjoyable and memorable vacation
ever!" Sherri Hartsell July 3, 2004 "What can I say, you and Randy are
wonderful in every way. Thank you for inviting me into your home and making
me feel like a queen. I hope to return the hospitality one day when I have my
very own dinghy! (One of my special highlights was driving the dinghy!) I
loved the Baths, Willy T's, Foxy's and all the incredible sunsets! Please
stay in touch. Love, Cathy Stamper July 3, 2004 "Thank you! You three are the finest
concoction of ingredients for the perfect day! Thank you for 8 perfect days.
I came for a vacation and made 3 new friends who had everything to do with
making this the most memorable of trips. I would recommend Shelly's Breakfast
Table, Lunch Table and Dinner Table! (Shelly, if you ever leave Randy, call
me!) Some of my favorite moments were: Kayaking amongst the diving pelicans Testing all the hammocks Kayak Races Game night Drinking too much Sleeping too little and Surprising my best friend on his 40th birthday! Thank you for your skills, mannerisms and
sense of humor. I admire you all for not only what you do, but for everything
you are!" Domenic Pony Polzella July 18th, 2004 "Minna and I have no words to describe the
great time which we had during our wonderful vaction on the Three Moons.
Randy, Shelly & Meredith, you are all wonderful people. You really looked
after all our needs. The food was fantastic and all the activities were just
great. Thank you all very much for an unforgettable time. We wish you lots of
luck and success in all your future endeavors. I hope our paths will cross
once again. If you are ever in All the best, Ronald & Minna Bakalarz "Captain Randy, I will forever
marvel at your capacity to walk backwards down the stairs, holding things in
both hands! Your knowledge and interest in our enjoyment was wonderful. The
sailing was great, food superb, and the company AWESOME! Shelly, the Queen of
the Gourmands, you fed us outstandingly; but more than anything, your
constant laughter made us feel happy and at home. Meredith, with the
beautiful eyes and beautiful smile~you are gracious and delightful. The three
of you have made this trip for us an unforgettable time. Please keep in touch
and look us up in P.S. By the way-Thanks so much for the
special love you put into the Kosher meals. It was really much appreciated!" Fanny Haim “Dear Randy, Shelly &
Meredith I don’t have enough words to
Thank you for such a wonderful 9 days. You made us feel right at home and
even better. Your desire to make us all feel good, and to please us is second
to none. We feel like the most welcome guests on your boat. I wish for all of you that all of
your dreams come true, that God continues to keep you healthy and happy as I
saw you this week, forever. You all are very special people, it
was my treat to have met you. I, for one, will never forget this trip and
look forward to one day doing another with you! Thank you, Thank you, David Haim "We enjoyed sailing, snorkeling, and
visiting different islands. Most of all, we were able to relax and spend a
great week being pampered by a GREAT CREW! We really enjoyed all the meals.
Shelly's cooking is just great! Its A+++ and a 4.0 GPA! If we had to choose a
meal for the gold medal, we would give it to the Grilled Caribbean Lobster.
Thanks for having the St. Estephe and Meursault wines for us. Also, Thank you
for receiving us with the nice bottle of Veuve Cliquot Hurray! P.S. We loved the fact that you are always
there with a smile making sure that your guests get all their needs and
more." Micheal & Renee Besso |

Randy, Shelly and Katy- This, our 3rd trip on 3 Moons was even better than
before. You were able to hit all our targets. The boat doesn't age at all! We
were amazed and amused to find that one of us is part of 3 Moons folklore-and
we suppose the sailor-charter tales of the BVI. Thanks again for a wonderful
week...A Boat Of Magic...Three Moons Sails the Bill and
Jane Reeves February 16, 2008 "Dear Randy, Shelly and Katy: Our week with you

patience with our often outrageous group!"

to all of you!” Paula and
Friends January 19, 2008 "The Three Moons charter was absolutely fabulous; a super time
was had by all. Shelly, Randy and Katie are delightful people and joy to be
with. When it was time to leave the yacht by dinghy for the ferry dock on our
last day, we had to yank my wife off as she would not let go of the boarding
ladder, she just didn’t want to leave. Interestingly, she was the most
skeptical of the group.We can tick this off our bucket list- FANTASTIC!"

and even better Crew! We’ll be back! Many thanks to the three of you
for an absolutely fabulous vacation! From the moment we stepped foot on the
boat, our every wish was effortlessly (or so it seemed) taken care of. The
meals were truly some of the best I have ever eaten and the sights were
beautiful. It was a relaxing and peaceful getaway that my entire family will
remember fondly for years to come. You attention to detail made this one of my favorite vacations
ever and I hope that we will get to explore other destinations with you in
the future.” Jeff, Laura, Taite, Charlie & Sam Sandefer July 15th, 2007 “Thank

2007 “Dear Randy and Shelly, Thank you so much for making this the most relaxing and pleasant
vacation I have ever had! You guys are the best host I could have hoped for.
There must have been some providence at work that made you take this charter
at the last minute. I never doubted that the Three Moons would be better than
the other yacht and crew could have ever been. Shelly, you’re a
fabulous chef, truly gifted. And you are a lovely person as well. Randy, what
a great Captain you are! It was such a joy sailing with you as you are fun,
energetic, kind, patient….too many qualities to list. You guys are an
amazing team. Thank you for the pleasure of getting to know you!” Very fondly, Cherie Mohr & Shalom Baranes “Dear Randy, Shelly and Katy, Thanks so so much for having us! I have to say, I was not too excited
at the prospect of spending over a week on a boat with my parents because I
get seasick; but you really made it fun and I really didn’t get
seasick! The time passed by very quickly. You showed us lots of neat things,
and everywhere we went people on the islands know and love you guys. It is
really obvious that you enjoy what you do…you are always enthusiastic
and willing to help however you can. Thank you for taking us out on the
dinghy and for letting us use you computer to check email. Snorkeling was
always really neat. I always had more fun when you guys came with us. Thank
you for everything!” Elena Baranes-Age 18 “Shelly, Katy, and Randy~ these past ten days have been some
of the most adventurous and fun ones of my life. I can’t thank you enough
for your incredible hospitality and kindness. I hope that all the other
families you host on the boat come to value your friendship as much as I
have. You all have been so nice and are 100% responsible for spoiling me
rotten! Thank you for all the unforgettable times. This is really an amazing
place! Love,“ Sarah Baranes-Age 15 “Big R, Shelly and Katy, I can’t thank you enough for
everything. We had amazing meals, endless waterskiing trips, and tubing
adventures. I had the time of my life and I hope I can come back eventually
