February 2023 Measured Debauchery Team Review of Azuria
Dear Kristen and Luke,
On behalf of the Measured Debauchery team that sailed with you in the BVI on the Azuria 2/25-3/4/2023, I want to express again our heartfelt thanks for making our sail with you the trip of a lifetime for all of us. You took great care of us and made sure that all of our needs were met while on board. From the great itinerary mapped out by Captain Luke to the 5 star meals prepared for Kristen, this trip exceeded all of our expectations. The food that Kristen prepared for us at each meal and happy hour was some of the best any of us have ever had and Luke’s special cocktails were amazing!You kept the ship in amazing shape while on board and even cleaned our rooms every day, which we were not expecting. All of the cabins were in great shape and were very comfortable. You made sure that everything was well-stocked on board, from the food and snacks to alcohol and drinks.We were so impressed by your knowledge of the area and local cuisine which Kristen helped prepare for us each day. You paid great attention to our preferences expressed in advance of the trip and even had a great birthday celebration for one of our group that will be hard to beat. Your fun, kindness and hospitality were amazing and we feel like we all have made two great friends in the BVIs.We were all able to relax and enjoy the ride because you made our trip a truly luxury experience we will never forget. We would highly recommend a trip on the Azuria with Captain Luke and First Mate Kristen to anyone we know. Any other trips we take will be compared to this one and will be difficult to surpass. Maybe we will just sail with you every year!Sincerely,
Jackie and Steve

The voyage exceeded our expectations. Luke and Kristen were the perfect crew/hosts. Kristen is an incredible chef.
We were fortunate to have sailed with Kristen and Luke. It was the ultimate luxury vacation.Diane T

From broker: I just wanted to think for taking such great care of the our clients! They had an amazing time. I’ve added their review below.

“We went to spend a quality family vacation, just the 5 of us. The trip met everyone one of our expectations. From the boat, to the sites, to the crew, and the food – nothing fell short of exceptional. Kristen and Luke consistently went above and beyond to meet our every need and even to anticipate needs we did not know we had (i.e., cocktails at 3pm? Run over to Willie T’s at 9pm?). It was a bucket list vacation and the memories we have will last a life time.”

New Year 2022 -23
No better way to ring in 2023 than with Luke and Kristen on Azuria! This trip was a year delayed (thank you COVID!) but sooo worth the wait. With three busy late teen/early 20’s daughters, it is a rare moment for us to spend quality time together and Luke and Kristen added to the fun. This was for sure a check on all our bucket lists and we’d all add five stars next to it. From the scenery to the food (Incredible!), we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend seven days. It is tight living and Kristen and Luke, you welcomed us into your home and thusly, made us feel right at home with you. Wishing you many more successful sails on Azuria and throughout your lives. We will never forget our week with you!
Christmas Week 2022
Thank you so much for an incredible vacation and Christmas. We rarely get to spend time the five of us all together and you both made it extra special. Between Kristen’s incredible and thoughtful cuisine and Luke’s perfectly British sense of humor, plus expert captainship – we had an unforgettable trip. It’s hard to pick a favorite meal or island, because all of them were so memorable. These are the trips you don’t ever forget, and you two made it possible. We’re so grateful you shared your Christmas with us, until next time! Thank you x 100,000.
December 2022 – 1
We have been so extremely blessed to have met such amazing people to share our mom’s dream vacation with! Couldn’t have asked for a better crew (and so patient!) Kristen’s food was nothing short of PHENOMENAL! We will miss it all so much. DJ Captain Luke’s talent will be missed as well. Thank you!

BEST TRIP EVER! As global travelers we thought we had experienced it all. But, after spending a week with Luke and Kristen on Azuria, it changed us forever. Kristen’s culinary skills are on another level. Every bite kept us craving more. She built a menu around our dietary restrictions that couldn’t have been better planned. Luke’s captain skills, decision making and emphasis on safety had us all way more comfortable that we ever thought we would be. His knowledge of the islands is astounding. His humor is contagious. They couldnt be a better team. The way they work is so fluid and smooth. We were always taken care of and felt so welcomed and connected with them. Their kindness and desire to make this trip the most amazing ever was felt throughout. Azuria was gorgeous! Meticulously clean. Comfortable cabins and all the toys we ever wanted. The fly bridge was awesome to sit there, listen to music and stare off into the horizon. Just amazing! We will never forget this and look forward to doing it again. Thank you for everything!
November 2022

It was a trip of a lifetime, with Kristen and Luke taking exceptional care of all of our needs and wants! The boat was well equipped, and very comfortable for the size of our group. Kristen worked magic in her small galley; the food was EXCEPTIONAL — every meal, including a few she had to accommodate for dietary restrictions — and comparable to any fine dining experience in the US. Luke knows the Caribbean and took us to some beautiful beaches and snorkel sites, and directed us to fun beach beach bars for afternoon drinks. Both were safety conscious and accommodating regarding the itinerary. Together, Kristen and Luke shared their knowledge of the area… interesting stories and history of the islands, pointed out sea life, etc. ”

Our trip was FANTASTIC!!!!!!! Luke and Kristen were amazing – 5 star service and food!!

The boat was perfect size – well stocked with food and any other essentials – sunscreen and bug spray were all supplied as well. They greeted us with champagne and non stop service, attention and good food the entire time, even offering to go on a hike to ensure we didn’t get lost. Luke and Kristen were flexible, full of knowledge and always pointing out things that were interesting or recommended places to go. All arrangements and pre planning were done with lots of detail. There is nothing that we would have wanted to happen differently – it was a 10/10 experience.
