Truly the best reward for decades of hard work has been meeting the amazing people who have been guests of Stray Cat.

To the left, you can see one of Capt. Mark’s favorite thank you notes from little Gwena.

 

Dear Capt. Mark,

 

I recently went on charter with you thru the Bahamas. I have been telling all of my family and friends about the incredible experience and was just reminded that I should Thank you!

 

Thank you so much for the wonderful, enlightening, and once in a lifetime experiences. 

 

We have traveled many places and have never seen such beauty or experienced the tranquility of being unable to see nothing but water and from such an incredible boat. The Stray Cat was astounding! The way she handled and how she was equipped with all the comforts of home and then some!

 

Sleeping in the cockpit became standard for us due to the perfect timing of the most brilliant meteor shower I have ever seen. The shooting stars kissed us goodnight. It was the highlight of my day to wrestle in a dolphin fish and grill it that night for our dinner. The blackened Mahi Mahi was delicious, what a joy! They are so many experiences wrapped into one extraordinary vacation.

 

The snorkeling on the coral reefs right next to the white sandy beaches of Gun Cay must be one of my all time favorites. The quaint little red lighthouse off in the distance as we swam with Rays and beautiful jellyfish was a picture I will never forget.

 

Capt. Mark you are a creator of dreams and an excellent teacher. We had such an exquisite time.

 

We will be back!!!

 

Thanks for making our dreams a reality,

Capt. Mark,

 

Just a note to let you know that our Charter with you was the best vacation that my family has ever taken. My sons have learned what the real world is all about. Instead of going on vacation to an air-conditioned, man-made, socially sterilized environment, we’ve succeeded in taking them into nature, and believe you me, their eyes were opened wide. Swimming with jelly fish, stingrays, all of those fabulous fish, and yes, even that harmless nurse shark that momentarily scared the wits out of them.

 

All of those experiences have since had them jabbering away with questions and ambitions, and my wife and I are thrilled because we feel that this vacation has really changed them for the better.

 

Thanks again for patiently fielding all of their questions (and mine!), and for making our week together much more than a vacation. It was an ADVENTURE!.

Mark,

 

A word of thanks to you for one of the most restful weeks of my life. My husband and I were looking for a vacation that was the ultimate in peace and serenity, and we think we’ve found it. The only thing we had to worry about the entire week was which part of the boat to kick our feet up on, or which part of a white sandy beach to lay our towels on. I read three books during the trip, and for the first time in probably twenty years, I couldn’t remember what day of the week it was. Now that’s vacation!!!

 

I returned to my life ashore renewed, refreshed, tanned golden brown, and loaded with stories and pictures that will perpetuate my vacation well into the coming months.

 

Your the best. Your hard work made all of our relaxation possible, and we truly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

 

Cliff and Kathy Sifford
