It’s my treat / it’s on me<br />
It’s not rocket science<br />

Last night<br />
Long time no see!<br />

“Many thanks for all the hard work over the season. Once again you<br />
have never failed to deliver no matter where we were - the Caribbean,<br />
Italy, Turkey, Greece. It is always a pleasure to deal with a well-organized<br />
and professional company, having used you in all aspects of our<br />
operation from delivering provisions to far flung locations to helping<br />
us source engine spares and interior supplies. Once again, many thanks<br />
and keep up the great work.”<br />

“Your service has been exceptional on ALL levels,<br />
and is deeply appreciated. We could not<br />
have accomplished what we did – over 210<br />
work items, without your assistance – and that<br />
atop the usual crew and purchasing support.<br />
The future for yachting in Barcelona is getting<br />
better, particularly in the gigayacht sector, as<br />
this is one of the few ports that can support<br />
the works. In effect, you are in the right place<br />
at the right time.<br />
Good success, and thank you again.”<br />

“In today’s world I have found it very difficult to find people<br />
who really care and go out of their way to do the job they<br />
choose, that is across the board it seems with every business.<br />
I have found <strong>Evolution</strong> and ALL of their associates to be very<br />
caring and with a “CAN DO” attitude, no matter what I asked<br />
for, and for that I truly appreciate each and every one of their<br />
team. I just wish that all agents that I deal with in the circles<br />
I travel were as caring and professional as <strong>Evolution</strong> Yacht<br />
Agents. There simply was nothing that I asked for that the<br />
<strong>Evolution</strong> team had any issue with, and even when I changed<br />
things - constantly - it seemed to be no bother. I have worked<br />
in this business now for 31 years and commend the service<br />
<strong>Evolution</strong> gave Huntress and her crew, and will make sure that<br />
everyone that I know gets to hear my experience with you.”<br />

Making a little effort with the local lingo can go a long way,<br />
so here are a few handy words and phrases to get your<br />
tongue around for when you anchor in Spanish waters.<br />
There’s nothing quite like a well timed idiomatic phrase or<br />
spot-on comment if you’re looking to break the ice. Anticipate<br />
those moments when only the right nautical term will<br />
do. But above all, have the confidence to step out of your<br />
comfort zone and enjoy the many rewards of communicating<br />
in another language. After all, isn’t exploring new horizons<br />
one of the reasons we travel?<br />
No bother<br />
No way<br />
Once in a lifetime<br />
Piece of cake!<br />
See you later<br />
Take it easy<br />
That’s life<br />
The more the merrier<br />
The sooner the better<br />
To moor<br />
To sum up…<br />
What a pity<br />
What bad luck!<br />
You never know<br />
No es molestia<br />
Ni hablar<br />
Una vez en la vida<br />
¡Está chupado!<br />
Hasta luego<br />
Tómatelo con calma<br />
Así es la vida<br />
Cuanto más, mejor<br />
Cuanto antes, mejor<br />
Amarrar<br />
En resumen...<br />
Qué pena<br />
¡Qué mala suerte!<br />
Nunca se sabe<br />
“This is a very large yacht with owners who have<br />
extremely high expectations and demands. The EVO<br />
Team’s assistance throughout our trip in Spanish waters<br />
was amazing in dealing with last minute requests<br />
and our ever changing itinerary. José, Eduardo and<br />
Patricia went out of their way to assist us with bookings<br />
at restaurants and activities for the kids. Kerry<br />
seems to be always available, day and night, as was<br />
the rest of the team. Special thanks also to everyone<br />
else at EVO who is behind the scenes, arranging provisioning,<br />
sourcing special items for us and coordinating<br />
deliveries and shipments.“<br />

“Having worked with Bea and the team<br />
in Palma for many years I can honestly<br />
say what a pleasure they have been to<br />
work with. They are always smiling, they<br />
genuinely care and are always willing<br />
to go the extra mile. Their support<br />
network is second to none and had it<br />
not been for their fountain of knowledge<br />
and expertise, we would have had<br />
many more curve balls to negotiate to<br />
satisfy the owner’s requests! Long may<br />
the relationship continue and thank you<br />
once again.”<br />

“We were very pleased to work<br />
with the <strong>Evolution</strong> team. They are<br />
very professional, always available,<br />
punctual and resourceful.<br />
They made our stay in Ibiza easier<br />
and the owner’s experience more<br />
pleasurable. We highly recommend<br />
their excellent service.”<br />
