“We had the best time of our lives on the HEMISPHERE — she has every toy one can think of. My wife and my sister-in-law logged some amazing dives, while the dads took the kids on snorkeling expeditions. But as we all know, the crew enhances the experience and is the glue between the guests and the yacht. The Hemisphere crew will be there for your every need with a warm smile. We can tell you we had some of the most amazing cuisine onboard we have ever had. Our best mega yacht charter by far.” 2012 SeaChange Charterers
"In my 55 and my husband’s 70 years of traveling the globe on land and sea, we have never experienced the outstanding level of service, accommodations and caring as we have on the Hemisphere. We so appreciate her beauty, the attention to detail and excellence of her crew. We dreamed of the trip of a lifetime and Hemisphere and her crew far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Gavin, the best boat captain and a really great guy!" 2013 SeaChange Charterers
