My Husband and I stayed onboard the Imagination with Shawn & Ally in May 2013 during our honeymoon on Bequia. Our trip with Bluescape was such a highlight of our holiday, Shawn and Ally thought of everything and made sure we were able to completely relax and feel at home. The food was fantastic the drinks were always chilled including a bottle of fizz they surprised us with for our beach BBQ dinner that they had arranged. I will never forget our sundowner frozen cocktails in the double hammock perfectly romantic and peaceful. Barefoot luxury with home comforts.
Shawn took us snorkelling and we felt in safe hands the whole time.
I arranged the whole thing through Facebook and have been following their adventures online ever since!
I would highly recommend taking a trip however short on the imagination and we hope that one day we can stay on board again.

Six of us spent 10 days aboard the Imagination with Shawn and Ally and not a single thing could have been improved upon. We had sailed the Grenadines many times before but never with the care and attention that we received from our accomplished captain and fabulous chef. Many of us had special dietary needs and Ally handled them like a pro with absolutely wonderful, delicious, inventive, healthy meals. She even baked me gluten free bread!! Shawn and Ally's manner on board was always relaxed, extremely competent and the way they communicate and help each other was a pleasure. It all went towards the comfortable, fun, perfect trip and I'm not exaggerating. It was truly perfect. I would only return to the Grenadines to sail with them again. Friendly, comfortable, safe, easy going, lots of laughter, relaxing, great food, inventive cocktails, swimming, snorkeling and generally having a fun time. A pleasure!!

We sailed with friends for a week aboard Imagination with two fabulous hosts, Shawn and Ally. Shawn is a very accomplished sailor and Ally an amazing chef. My husband and our friends dove with Shawn and found him to be a very experienced and knowledgeable diver. When they had to dive with a local operator, Shawn made all the arrangements with reputable dive shops. We also had great snorkeling adventures for there is much to see in the Grendadines. Shawn pointed out great places for hiking and even led us on some of them himself. We did not have a lot of knowledge of the area so we let Shawn plan the itinerary for us. We were never disappointed. Between iguanas and turtles and lots of sea life, it was indeed a great experience. Ally prepared fabulous meals and 3 course dinners. Our vegetarian friend was so impressed because it was clear Ally put a lot of thought into the preparation of her meals. The rest of us are meat eaters and we were not disappointed. One of the breakfast items we loved were the banana pancakes and we hope to get the recipe for them. Shawn and Ally have a great sense of humor and were very comfortable to be around. This is very important because don't forget you are on a 46 foot catamaran on the ocean.....We hope to sail with Shawn and Ally again and meanwhile would highly recommend a sailing adventure with them. What better way to see the Grenadines!!

A group of 6 recently spent 10 glorious days aboard Imagination and had the vacation of a lifetime! Shawn and Ally are truly wonderful people who did everything they could to make us feel at home and get the most out of our vacation. Shawn is an extremely competent captain that made us feel safe and comfortable the entire trip, and his bartending skills are not to be outdone! HIs knowledge of the Islands is amazing and will ensure you see and do everything you desire. Ally is an amazing hostess/chef/first mate. I am a huge foodie who loves to cook, and every one of Ally's meals were fantastic. The complete 10 day menu was a perfect mix of local, fresh, comfort meals. Our group had some special dietary needs that she incorporated without fail! The Yacht itself is very comfortable and has lots of extras that Shawn and Ally have added to make it even better. We fished, successfully, while sailing, and Ally served up our catch that day! Shawn found many wonderful swim/snorkel spots for us to enjoy.
Our experience FAR exceeded our high expectations for a wonderful trip. Everything was absolutely perfect. Shawn and Ally and Imagination are, in a word, perfect! Please do yourself a favor and book a trip with them, you absolutely will have the trip of a lifetime!

We just returned from a week aboard the Imagination with Shawn and Ally. There is no better way to see St. Vincent and The Grenadines than aboard a boat and Shawn and Ally are wonderful hosts. Shawn is an experienced captain and knew where to take us on shore and in the water. We enjoyed sailing, diving, snorkeling, swimming, hiking, and relaxing under the stars. Ally is an amazing cook and accommodated my request for vegetarian meals while completely satisfying the rest of our group who are all meat eaters. Each meal was varied and delicious. We would recommend this trip to anyone instrested in sailing in the area, and we hope to return in the future!

We had a fantastic sailing trip with Ally and Shawn through the Grenadines. They were kind, helpful, and extremely accommodating to all of us. There was not a moment that our four children were not being fed or entertained! There were plenty of fun activities and Ally and Shawn made sure we did it all!!! This is a great trip for all ages! We miss the blue water!

For my 60th birthday I chartered the sailboat, Imagination and brought 5 dear friends along. It was AMAZING! The crew, Shawn and Ally, were superb. The boat had 3 bedrooms (berths) with a bath (head) in each with the crew staying in their own berth. It was totally adequate for our needs. We met the boat in St. Vincent and sailed in one direction, ending in Union island. The actual sailing was my favorite part. The captain, Shawn, was savy enough to the area to know just when to arrive to each island for our maximum benefit. Shawn escorted us on various hikes, sharing his knowledge of the various islands. Ally made the most incredible meals for us. We decided to do 7 meals ahsore and she prepared the rest. It was so fun to head up to the cockpit to a beautifully set table and delightful breakfast. One guest was a vegan and Ally went out of her way to accomadate her. I chose this boat for a few reasons, the crew being one of them. They seemed young and fun. Well, they lived up to that notion. They joined us in tubing off the dinghy and talked us all into the Carribean Slingshot. One of my guests was a certified diver and joined Shawn on a few dives. We were all afforded this opportunity and settled for snorkeling instead. One of my guests decided to try her hand at the helm and was given great instruction and encouragement. It was certainly a memorable vacation. The absolute BEST. We are already talking about who turns 60 next and doing this again. I've sailed the BVI on a bareboat and this trip on Imagination beat it by a mile. I am so grateful I listened to my gut and booked this trip. You won't be disappointed!!!
