Yacht Logo

BACCHUS is not simply a yacht—it is a celebration of craftsmanship, cuisine, and the quiet luxury of life at sea. This 2025 Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 carries her guests through the Caribbean with the grace of a modern sailing home and the spirit of a fine restaurant adrift on blue water. Below deck, BACCHUS offers one spacious master suite and three queen cabins—each appointed with plush linens, boutique bath amenities, and personal climate control for elevated comfort. The layout is ideal for families or groups seeking both shared experiences and private retreats. The onboard chef, trained in Europe’s Michelin-starred kitchens, creates tasting menus that blend island freshness with refined European technique. Each course is thoughtfully composed and beautifully presented. The captain, a certified sommelier with experience in a Michelin restaurant, curates a wine program chosen to complement both the cuisine and the climate—vintage Champagne at anchor, crisp white Burgundy with freshly caught seafood, and elegant, lighter reds shared beneath the Caribbean night sky. Between meals, BACCHUS invites both adventure and ease. Glide across turquoise waters on Lift eFoils, dive with Seabobs, paddle to secluded beaches, or unwind on superyacht-level inflatables that transform the sea into your private sanctuary. Whether in motion or at rest, each day unfolds entirely at your pace. The yacht’s design embodies quiet sophistication. Broad decks open seamlessly to the sea and sky. The foredeck offers a serene setting for morning coffee. The flybridge becomes the perfect perch for conversation and Champagne at dusk. Aft, the shaded terrace transforms into an intimate dining space poised just above the water. Every charter aboard BACCHUS is a journey of taste and tranquility—where fine dining, thoughtful wines, and the rhythm of the sea come together in perfect harmony. With elevated service, premium amenities, and a level of curation rarely found in charter, BACCHUS delivers a bespoke experience designed for discerning travelers. Welcome aboard BACCHUS—where every moment is designed to be savored.

Guest Testimonials

June 2025

Sincere thanks and appreciation for everything you have done for us this past month. You both were beyond amazing, you are both so great at your jobs, and you are also such nice genuine people who really take pride in everything you do. We are so grateful (and lucky) that we landed you two as our crew this past month. As I’ve told you multiple times, you both made our trip special. So special, that when we come back for a month next year, we can’t imagine not having you with us. We have so much respect for you both, and for how hard you work all day every day. As we wrote in the Borrowed Bounty book, you represent your company so well, they should be very proud and appreciative to have you on their team. We view you both as friends at this point and look forward to staying in touch between now and our trip back to BVI next May. We wish you both the very best, and if there is every anything we can do for you please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks again for making this trip so memorable!

May 2025

Evanne & Stijn Thank you for another great week in the BVI. You planned an excellent itinerary and worked diligently to make sure we had the best experience. The Borrowed Bounty was a new boat for you as a crew, and when there were A/C and generator issues, you never gave up and worked hard to resolve them—all while still making sure we were well fed and enjoying each location! Evanne, you always found the best mooring spots and you are both kind and joyful. Stijn, your meals were incredible! We felt like we toured the world through your cuisine. You catered excellently to dietary restrictions while maintaining variety and incredible flavor in each meal. Overall, we loved how well you worked together. It was a blast getting to know each of you—we look forward to more trips in the future!

May 2025

Dear Captain Evanne & Chef Stijn, Sincere thanks for making our charter so memorable and special. Evanne, your positive attitude, constant smile, and exceptional customer service made it an absolute pleasure to sail with you. You are a highly knowledgeable and competent captain, and we always felt completely safe with you at the helm. Stijn, your food was impeccable. We looked forward to every single meal. The way you combined flavors and presented each dish made us feel like we were dining in a different five-star restaurant every day. Thank you so much for taking such thoughtful care with our daughter’s food allergies as well—it meant the world to us. Evanne and Stijn, over the course of our month-long stay, you became more than our crew—you became our friends. Every day brought something new, and you graciously adapted to our last-minute plan changes. The month flew by far too quickly. We highly recommend you to anyone lucky enough to have you as part of their crew. Your company is incredibly fortunate to have you representing them. We wish you both all the very best, and if there’s ever anything we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

April 2025

What an adventure! Pre-trip communications were easy, thorough and excellent. Stijn and Evanne organized a Zoom permeating to meet/greet, discuss menus and preferences regarding activities and destinations. They arranged reservations for meals out, transfers and logistics. They incorporated our preferences and provided alternate suggestions. Evanne’s professional ability and maturity are beyond her age. Winds gusting to 30 knots were abnormally strong. Her seamanship and marine critical judgement exhibited a calm professional demeanor. Her ability to manage many things at once was demonstrated during the maneuvering of the boat in open waters, tights spaces and high winds. Stijn’s passion for feeding people shines. His scratch cooking with fresh ingredients showcased his culinary knowledge of international cuisine. He adjusted menus to accommodate dietary restrictions. Our group of well-traveled fun-loving seniors have eaten at some of the finest restaurants around the world and have not had such consistently superb meals. He deserves a Michelin star! Evanne and Stijn worked as a seamless team. They supported each other and the passengers. Their hospitality created a tabling experience that was inviting and inclusive. We’re coming back to charter with Evanne and Stijn wherever they are!

March 2025

Had the most amazing week on Ad Astra with Evanne and Stijn. We were a party of 10 and the level of service they provided was outstanding. So impressed with both of them. First - Stijn’s prowess in the kitchen is unmatched - we have used chefs before - he is #1 in our book. Evanne’s knowledge and professionalism as our captain was impressive. Not our first charter - would sail with her again. Their suggestions for excursions were awesome. We had so much fun and I feel they gave us the best of the BVI. This Boston crew will follow Evanne and Stijn anywhere.

March 2025

Thank you to Evanne and Stijn for an amazing week in the BVIs! They were absolutely top-notch. The food was incredible, and everyone was happy. The yummy cocktails offered throughout the trip were a great touch of service, and they truly went above and beyond. Evanne was always calm and confident, making everyone feel safe. They took us to amazing spots—both off the beaten path and the well-known gems—and we appreciated both. We’ve done a similar trip before, and we all agreed: Evanne and Stijn are the very best of the best! Thank you from all of us!

February 2025

How lucky are we to experience the best crew in the BVI with an incredible boat the Ad Astra. We are a group of 10, who always felt comfortable and safe while onboard. Evanne is caring, adventurous and so fun! She shared her knowledge and experiences with us and allowed us to experience the best of the BVI. Stijn knew how to amaze us in the galley! We had no idea we’d be eating in a 5-star restaurant each day! He kept our taste buds gong by taking us all around the world with his dishes! Spain, Greek, Italy, plus pops of Korean, wow! Amazing. Together Stijn and Evanne were at their best. They worked together providing us with a trip that will remain one of our very favorites. Thank you for the most amazing week, your kindness and care and for sharing your talents with us!

February 2025

Evanne & Stijn We loved our first sailing adventure—thank you! Your care, professionalism, and hospitality were unmatched. We feel so fortunate to have had you as our hosts. Our BVI trip was hands down our best vacation ever! We had no idea we were in for the most amazing culinary experience. Evanne and Stijn’s professionalism and hospitality made us feel welcome and safe. Thank you for making our first BVI trip unforgettable!

January 2025

Our week in the BVI was truly the trip of a lifetime, celebrating 30+ years of friendship. Evanne and Stijn provided such an amazing experience—wonderful hosts of the islands. Every meal was a visual delight, with no detail overlooked. Stijn’s creations will forever change how we approach dining out. Don’t be fooled by their youthful appearance—they are true experts in the field of hospitality. Thank you for a wonderful week!

December 2024

Evanne & Stijn - The very best crew in the world! Thank you for the best week ever. You spoiled our family of 10 and contributed to our joy filled and memorable trip. Not only were you both very talented and professional crew, but you did it with such a great attitude and brought such joy and happiness to our adventure. Our family of 10 can be challenging to deal with at times but your patience and understanding were fantastic. Thank you for the best week ever! We love you and thank you for the best food, the most fun and the greatest adventures we’ve ever had!
