A North Carolina man touting himself as one of the captains in the burgeoning black travel community is being accused by a group of vacationers of failing to deliver on promises of a dream voyage on"super premium" yachts, asserting the reality was a bit of a"disgusting" nightmare.
Cummings argued in a motion to vacate a confession of judgment that he had previously signed for the $550,000 bill that the yacht company left him high and dry -- providing him with"inadequately provisioned" yachts resulting in"mediocre meals," captains that said they couldn't accommodate his itinerary and complaints about"rude" staff members and"poor" conditions of the boats. He claims that he was forced into signing the judgment.
"Why Should Europeans Have All the Fun" one section of the website says, explaining that the trip was a response to Yacht Week."Picture if you will 15-25 Yachts filled with beautiful black, brown, and beige people sailing and partying around the beautiful beaches of the British Virgin Islands." Story continuesThe black travel community consist of mostly millennials and women who are interested in or are avid travelers who aspire to see the world safely and on a budget. Most of the groups like Nomadness Travel Tribe and Travel Noire have grown to become an online family where people have made lifetime friendships, met their significant other or sought help during a hardship.
Before the ships left Hodge's Creek Marina, a representative from the yacht company made a final attempt to collect the $551,783.77 debt from Cummings, who promised the funds would come from his business partner, according to the lawsuit. But"our Captain would anchor us somewhere and disappear for hours," Gionna Adams told ABC News in an email."We went on many adventures trying to find things that should’ve been told to us. Paying extra for taxis etc. what happened to the guide we were supposed to have or the proper itineraries? was also frustrated with the arrangements and what was happening with Reggie and we felt all of that on our trip.
Another passenger, Crystal Dickerson, who also filed a complaint with the North Carolina attorney general's office, said her first clue that things were askew was when the itinerary changed a week before the trip.
