Word of the trip...TURTLES!
Food was amazing and Chef Mandy you did such a great job with all my boys and their picky eating. We loved exploring new beautiful spots in our "happy place"!
Thank you both for sharing your beautiful home on the water with us! You made us all feel so welcome and a part of the Kuma Too Fam!

My family just got back from a week aboard KUMA TOO with Mandy and Joe. Everything about the trip was 5 star! The boat itself is immaculate and has all the creature comforts. There was plenty to do to keep active with the toys which include snorkeling gear, knee board, kayaks, and giggles and chuckles (inflatable friends). The paddle boards were used everyday and perhaps some not so flattering pictures of mom were snapped!
The BVI was closed to tourism so Joe and Mandy designed an itinerary in the USVI that was amazing! They explained everything about the different moorings and anchorages and they knew just how to get us a spot in tiny little nooks with as few as 5 moorings!
Pampered. Pampered. Pampered. The food was amazing in both quality and presentation and there was certainly enough of it! The drink of the day and all of the cocktail and beer specials kept us all just shy of drunken sailors. Mandy and Joe are the PERFECT hosts. They make you feel special and comfortable from the minute they meet you.
Favorite Memory/Recommendation:
All of it! From the moment we boarded the boat until our final hours - perfection. Each day was a blessing. RELAXING in the coves and relaxing on the boat. Every creature comfort was attended to by both Mandy and Joe. The food was "crazy good", the drink of the day was amazing & our ability to just flop & relax was awesome.
There was no better way to sail away from 2020! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you - all the birthday decorations & cake were much appreciated.

This trip was way beyond our highest expectations. Joe and Mandy set the bar for taking care of customers so high I do not see how anyone else could ever achieve the same level. Their professionalism mixed with our fun interactions made this trip extra special. The food was Chef Ramsey level!!! I had only planned on doing this once in a lifetime, but now we are doing another trip for sure on the Kuma Too.
Favorite Memory/Recommendation: Food and everything else, Mandy and Joe are the best!!! Places we went were beyond description. Trip of a lifetime, so thankful for the experiences, the food, the music, the laughter and the fun. We won't ever forget what a great time we had. The experience we had was fantastic. Joe & Mandy are amazing. We are lucky to have had them as our crew.
Mandy is the chef from heaven.

November 2020 - Broker provided feedback
How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?
It was truly one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve taken.
How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
Joe and Mandy could not have been more professional and courteous. They were extremely attentive and did their absolute best to ensure we were comfortable at all times. They have a great grasp on the sites and nuances ‘not-to-be-missed’ while allowing us to take time to enjoy excursions on shore as well.
Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
First, there is NO chance you will go hungry (or thirsty) on Kuma Too! Better yet, the food is amazing. What Mandy (and Joe) crank out of the kitchen is nothing short of 5-Star. We were blown away (no pun intended) with the variety, quality and presentation. We also have three children with their own preferences and they all were well satisfied.
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable?
Kuma Too was spotless, well-maintained and very comfortable.
What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? If you could change anything, what would have made you happier?
We loved Kuma Too. Her size fit our family of 5 very well with plenty of room to spread out and lounge during the day and sleep comfortably at night. Can’t really think of anything I didn’t like about her. In hindsight, we might’ve tried a different mooring opportunity on our last afternoon/evening given the odd swell that came in (no fault of the crew), but other than that we were extremely happy.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
The itinerary was great. We’d never sailed the USVI nor the BVI, so we didn’t have an agenda or preconceived notion that we were ‘missing out’ by not sailing the BVI. In fact, getting to circumnavigate St John and St Thomas, with plenty of time to go ashore on beautiful beaches, great short hikes, and experience some local flare was a terrific balance. The USVI’s are definitely under-marketed and well worth exploring, as we were lucky to do.
Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:
Yes

Amazing Thanksgiving trip! Joe and Mandy are over the top. The food is amazing. The scenery is perfect. This truly is a trip of a lifetime and we are grateful to have met Joe and Mandy, Chuckles, and Kuma Too! We love Kuma Too! This is the most relaxing trip a mom can ever take!! :-)

Additional comments on your charter?
This was an amazing vacation! My husband and I didn’t lift a finger. The kids had a blast with all the water activities (floats, tubing, knee boarding, paddleboarding & kayaking) and Josh & I were able to sit back and relax. We didn’t worry about cooking or cleaning up for any meals. Mandy provides ample snacks for my “growing” boys and did all of it with a smile on her face... even at 6am with my little one. Joe didn’t let our drinks hit the bottom and was the best “boat driver”. He found great snorkeling spots with a variety of marine life and colorful coral. Joe and Mandy have great communication and made our trip seamless. They even helped celebrate our anniversary and one of the boys birthdays. I appreciated all their efforts and we were super impressed. This boat is their home and they take great care of it.

We've been to the Virgin Islands many times and this, by far, is the best way to see it all! The BVI's boarders were closed due to COVID but we loved every minute of the USVI. Our favorites included the airplanes at Brewers Bay, the beauty of Magen's Bay and Chuckles, the snorkeling off of Congo Key, the turtles and sting rays at Maho Bay, meeting up with family and friends at Waterlemon, the quietness of Lameshur, the party at Lime Out, and all the boats at Christmas Cove!
Joe - thanks for all the fun times and great experiences. Thanks for playing with the kids and taking them tubing for hours.
Mandy - thanks for all the yummy food and delicious drinks of the day!
We promise to be back again! Love, Josh, Meg, Matt, Ben, and Drew

We just returned from a spectacular week sailing with Joe and Mandy. There are not enough superlatives to describe our week with them. They were both so accommodating to our every need and want. The meals were first class and plentiful. Snacks were tasty. Joe was a great bartender, especially painkillers and bushwackers💜. Our itinerary was spot on and they made every attempt for us to see exactly what we asked for and exceeded it! Mandy’s cooking skills in the tiny kitchen was truly amazing! Thank you so much Mandy and Joe. This was a top rated vacation and we hope to see you again.

We were not aboard long before it was obvious we could rely on Joe & Mandy's knowledge and professionalism to take us on a tour of a lifetime through the beautiful secrets held by the USVI and BVI. Aside from their gregarious and welcoming nature, Joe & Mandy created made-from-scratch culinary delights for every meal. We had no desire to eat on shore as we looked forward to the next surprise Mandy had in store for us. We were very happy to have paid for full board. We enjoyed getting in the water in the quiet coves we found each night. The colors, aromas, and sea breezes delighted 24/7. It was easy to forget we were actually guests in their home as they were constantly attending to every need of their guests. We are staying in the USVI another week, but wish we could stay on the boat with Mandy & Joe.
-Bill & Sue
Everything on board was awesome. Food was outstanding & they exceeded my expectations with dealing with our food allergies. Enjoyed the snorkeling & island hopping. Joe & Mandy did a great job in pointing out the highlights not to miss on land & in the water. Snorkeling @ the Indians was awesome. It's been awesome to have Mandy & Joe share their home. Their hospitality exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful presentations with each plate colorful and full. We always had plenty to eat. Most of what we ate was sourced locally and fresh. There was always food. We ate when we weren’t hungry. There were drinks and food at our beckon call. It was embarrassing how much we consumed.

The whole trip was beyond our expectations! Our favorite part was just the ability to relax any time & for as long as we wanted. Learning to be on island time was well worth it! The discovery dive was a highlight, as well as all the snorkeling. However, just being on the front of the boat enjoying the wind and water was the most enjoyable!!
Joe and Mandy are TOP NOTCH!! We didn't want for anything the entire trip! They really know how to make this a home. We cannot think of anything you could have done different or better! Your attention to detail, impeccable service and easy going personalities made it the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. The small things, like our water bottles constantly being full, always having the snorkel gear ready or just the beautiful flowers and table setting, made a big impression!
Thanks so much, Joe & Mandy, for the best get away! It was fab!!

Dear Mandy and Joe,
We wanted to thank you so much for the most wonderful weekend. We really enjoyed everything about the trip. Your hospitality and catamaran were fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. (Thank you for these recipes!). It was such a nice relaxing get away for us. We hope to do it every year! I hope you both were able to relax and rest a little before you launched your next charter.
Thank you again for everything!
Best regards,
Rhonda and John

New Years 2019/2020
The Kuma Too was a great fit for our needs, spacious enough for a family with 4 teens (none of whom are 6ft tall), with lots of water toys. Joe and Mandy were the most pleasant hosts – engaging, fun and safety conscious....Joe and Mandy are a wonderful combo of captain, chef and bartender....Everything we had was delicious! Full breakfasts, lunches and dinners every day. Daily snacks put out. A cooler full of seltzers, beer and sodas was always available. A well-stocked bar enabled Joe to make painkillers, frozen daquiris and piña coladas, mimosas, bloody mary’s, rum punch etc. Joe is a grill master and Mandy an excellent cook.
Joe often went snorkeling with us at different spots or walked with us to an old rum distillery or the Bubbly pools. Other captains may have just given us general directions, but he went with us each time.
They were a delightful couple to talk with. They had a great depth of knowledge about the fun stops through the BVI’s. Their years of experience and tendencies instill great confidence that we would be safe at all times.
We highly recommend Mandy and Joe! They are delightful, have a very strong work ethic, take care of everything and it’s clear they enjoy what they do. We feel super fortunate to have had them as our crew!

Mandy and Joe are absolutely outstanding in every way. Since this was our second adventure on Kuma Too, it feels like coming back to visit with friends. We ate more in 3 days than we do in a week, and the food was absolutely fabulous! This is the most relaxing way to spend a weekend! If you need to "unplug" and reconnect and enjoy you favorite people - this is how to do it! The sailing was amazing; the island adventures were a blast. The berths were really comfortable and of course, with Joe and Mandy at the helm you knew you were going to be well taken care of & safe. We went with another couple who are great friends of ours -- they had a blast, too. Joe and Mandy even put up with us playing guitars, singing, and turning Kuma Too into a floating music studio - now that is hospitality!! It was the perfect 50th Birthday celebration!

It was no easy task planning a trip with our kids--ages 22, 20 and 11 year old twins, but once we booked a week-long cruise to the Dry Tortugas on the Kuma Too, we looked forward to spending increasingly rare time together. Joe and Mandy were outstanding. They accommodated vegan and vegetarian diets as well as a picky 11 year old. The food was amazing and we left with several recipes to try at home. They facilitated all of our water activities. We snorkeled at Ft. Jefferson, the wreck of The Windjammer off Loggerhead Key, and Woman Key and had many opportunities to swim off the boat and kayak. They made sure we were always comfortable, serving snacks and drinks whenever we needed them, making sure we had water to shower off at the end of our salty days, and cranking on the A/C at night so we all slept comfortably. When we had to alter our schedule because of uncooperative weather conditions, Joe and Mandy quickly found alternatives that actually made our trip even better. We spent an extra night at sea on the way down, but during that night we witnessed a pod of dolphins chasing flying fish alongside the boat under the moon and stars for over an hour! A spectacular scene that none of us will ever forget. I can't say enough about this trip. As we cruised back, we all dreaded seeing land again. Not only was this an adventure of a lifetime, but also chance for us to reconnect and forge deeper connections as a family. Thank you, Joe and Mandy for a week of happy memories!!

My friends and I (six of us total) did a ten-day Christmas/ New Year cruise on Kuma Too. The trip was more than we could have imagined. To begin with, Joe and Mandy were the absolute most accommodating hosts ever. They catered to our individual needs- drinks, food, and comfort. The meals they prepared and served were five star restaurant quality. We all left a bit heavier than when we boarded! (The margaritas were pretty great, too!) They definitely need to create a Kuma Cook Book! Their professionalism and sailing expertise kept me at ease while we were under sail and being transported on the dinghy. I've only briefly sailed once before... but I never ever felt unsafe. Joe and Mandy were also very knowledgeable about our destination locations as wellFort Jefferson/ Dry Tortugas, Loggerhead Key, and Key West! So much so that when Joe toured us around Fort Jefferson, random people would stop to listen and ask him questions! I could go on and on about the awesomeness of our trip... a lot of the credit goes to Joe and Mandy. I highly recommend sailing with them! Looking forward to booking again for another adventure with them!

Sailing with Kuma Too and crew was one of the funnest, unique, top-notch experiences I've had. The boat is roomie enough for you to have your own space but also cozy enough to spend quality time with friends & family. Joe and Mandy where both friendly and personable but also very professional. They really make the boat feel like home for the time you are on it. Sailing is their passion and you can see it in the time and care they put into their boat and charters. They made sure that every detail was taken care of (every meal they made was fantastic) and all needs met for all guests. I wouldn't sail any other catamaran!

Absolutely amazing! I had the opportunity to get away for a week from the hustle and bustle of life on land sailing up and down the gorgeous west coast of Florida. Captains Joe and Mandy Rosello were professional, attentive, fun, great hosts and overall "good people". They made my 1-week sailing experience on their beautiful catamaran, Kuma Too, absolutely unforgettable. The trip was full of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, amazing wildlife (I lost count how many dolphins swam alongside the hulls) and, of course, plenty of rest and relaxation. Additionally, I wanted to better understand the sailing ins and outs and both captains were very informative and thorough in explaining procedures and techniques. Such a great trip! I genuinely enjoyed my time on Kuma Too and wholeheartedly recommend their chartering services. They definitely deliver the services and priceless memories you deserve.
