Sailing Dauntless with Jim & Judy Brown was the most bang-for-your-buck adventure vacations I’ve ever taken. Their nich with dovetailing relaxation, luxury and adventure is unparalleled. If one desires to learn, Jim’s sailing expertise and communication skills delivers confidence and opens the ability better to understand sailing at all levels of nautical skill. And, I can’t say enough about their hospitality. Judy’s chef knowledge introduced us to meals that were hardy and nutritious, yes not too filling which provided the ability to experience the full compliment of Dauntless.

The main ingredient in our experience was Jim & Judy. With the wealth of skills and knowledge they carry, they’re wonderfully humble, kind and down-to-earth folks. Bottom line, they just have good hearts.

I highly recommend Dauntless if anyone is remotely considering a cruise. The Croatian Island cruise offered over the next year or so is at the top of my list for planned vacations.

What a dream vacation! Between the adventures of snorkeling, diving and sailing to new bays with an expert and wise captain Jim; to eating specially prepared faire by chef Judy; we had a fabulous retreat and highly recommend Dauntless to anyone looking for a peaceful and adventurous vacation!

“Thank you so much! We’ve had an excellent few days with you on Dauntless. Captain Jim may have described some of the sailing conditions as robust, but we both loved every minute of it. We’ve seen some breathtaking scenery, beautiful islands and stunning marine life. Thank you for all the sailing tips, and the fantastic meals Chef Judy. We hope we can meet again on the Croatian coast next year!”

“Dear Jim and Judy, thank you so much for sharing your amazing boat with us and showing us around these breathtaking islands! We hope we can see you again and explore more waters together! Thank you!”

“Dear Jim & Judy, Thank you for a delightful week on Dauntless. Cruising the Grenadines was sublime. Jim’s sailing prowress and seamanship was unparalleled. Judy’s attention to detail and production of meal after meal in the galley was a marvel. We have been on many charters and this one had the best combination of blue water sailing, island hopping, snorkeling, hiking and relaxation of them all. Dauntless is a well appointed boat with all the bells and whistles. The highlight for us were in no particular order – snorkeling in Chatham Bay, lunch at Petit St Vincent, walking the Princess Margaret trail in Bequia, hiking to the church in Mayreau, and the ocean sailing. Best wishes to you and your family. We sincerely hope that our paths cross again.”

“Jim & Judy, Was a pleasure to sail on your well appointed boat this past week. Great way to introduce Andrew & Danny to cruising. Your tour of the Grenadines was wonderful! Loved all the special snorkeling & swimming spots, lobster grills & delicious & beautiful food. Great place to sail & enjoy time with family.”

“Had a magical adventure. Many many thanks for your care & attention in making our time unforgettable. Sleek lines and fine sailing followed by turtles, starfish, topped off by delicious food & even a lobster. Outstanding! Thank you Dauntless!”

“Dauntless, Thank you Judy & Jim SO much for having us and treating our crazy family so well! I had such an amazing time, we all did! Hope we were not too much trouble (mainly me) with the cider vinegar, sleeping in the galley, & the consumption of sparkling water 🙂 THANK you for facilitating! There could not have been a lovlier couple to take us round the Caribbean Islands! I had such an amazing time & it was a truly special time.”

“Dauntless, Thank you for such an amazing few days! I have had so much fun! The places were so beautiful and food was so yummy! I hope to see you again.”

“Thank you Captain Jim and Chef Judy for your warm and wonderful hospitality, smooth sailing and generosity. We were able to have much needed and special time to be together – completely stress free – an amazing gift. Good luck with the next few months, we wish you every success.”
