Mediocre
Went with them trying to save a couple of dollars but came away less satisfied that I would have hoped. The crew at the Company were fine, but was not thrilled with the boat - fridge smelled and having not been adequately cleaned from the previous group and in general the boat was worn. The BVI was fun though, Fall is a great time of year to go.

Boat unprepared
We chose N/S like many others to save a few $$. Up front, the team (Sheila) showed some flexibility in allowing us to changes dates/times and sleep aboard. When we arrived, the boat appeared well used (!) but clean. On departure day, it took the N/S team until mid afternoon to install the main and get the engines to work. We still had to take the boat over to fuel, during which time the port engine overheated. A couple hours later, they pulled the thermostat on the engine and just said "Add water every day"! By the end of the charter, we found this band-aid solution applied to all maintenance. The main sail had been purchased used from another charter company and they used spray paint (!) to cover the logo on the sail!!! Every batten on the main popped out the first time we used it. The prop fell off the port engine (which over-heated anyway). There wasn't a fully working hatch on the boat. The main batteries were shot. In general, the boat should never have left the dock. And despite several calls and notices, they did not have dock space for us upon our return and we had to unload via dingy. Finally, to top it off, they had the gaul to charge us for maintenance items!!! Do not rent from this company unless you enjoy working on boats for vacation!
