KASIOPEJA

July 2026

Being on Kasiopeja with Bryan and Adriane was like being in a cocoon of family fun. We were safe and fed and encased in vibes of happiness. Bryan helped to ensure that we saw and did all the things on the list, but also that we each did the things that made us see the beauty in the places we were. He knew amazing spots to snorkel and pause, but he also did not hesitate to jump in the water or go on a hike with us to new places. His love for the islands is palpable and it was contagious! Chef Adriane was such a kind and professional presence on our trip -- feeding both bodies and spirit with her delicious cuisine. We very much appreciated how hard she worked to make sure we had vegetarian food for the week! Thank you for an amazing week of laughter, stories, and so much fun!

Our favorite memories were snorkeling The Baths, Soggy Dollar and Foxy's, the birthday celebration, floating in the water (Rob), soaking in the beauty of the islands, the water, sunrises and sunsets, and sailing. Captain Bryan thank you for taking great care of us every single day. Your calm confidence and knowledge, flexibility, and sense of humor made us completely at ease. You are an excellent sharer of your expertise. Adriane, thank you for the most wonderful meals --absolute works of art. You poured your heart into every meal that was delicious and brought us all to the table for more wonderful memories. We felt cared for all week. Thank you for welcoming us like family, Bryan and Adriane. You created an experience we will never forget, filled with laughter, sunsets, amazing meals, adventure, and countless memories!

We loved snorkeling The Baths (and anywhere for that matter!), chilling on the flybridge in the early morning, eating amazing meals, and most importantly unplugging from cell phone, TV, etc. . . . Loved watching the World Cup semi-finals at Foxy's. Traveling anywhere in the world, it's often the people you meet along the way that really change and impact your experience. Meeting Bryan and Adriane was no exception. They both made our experience exceptional because of the quality of people that they are! They went over and above to ensure a safe and memorable experience. Bryan's knowledge of the area and attention to service was always on point. Adriane is nothing short of amazing--to deliver the quality of food and beautiful presentation from a boat oven is mind-blowing. We are fortunate to have shared this week with our new USVI friends!! Thank you so much for all of it.

We loved The Baths, Soggy Dollar Bar painkillers, and Foxy's for World Cup soccer. Loved seeing stingrays, pelicans, turtles, and sailing In the quiet of the sea. Bryan went out of his way to make our vacation so memorable. He was attentive to our every request and was the perfect captain, my captain! Adriane was a magician making the most amazing and beautiful food! Thank you for my birthday cookie! We couldn't ask for a better crew and experience in the BVI! Thanks Bryan and Adriane for helping us make so many memories!

Thank you for an amazingly beautiful trip. The itinerary was a perfect blend of relaxation and lively spots. The fact that Bryan listened attentively to even the small things and tried to make our dreams come true was much appreciated. Chef Adriane's food was amazing! It was beautiful, delicious, and a great variety. Thank you for making Karen's 60th celebration perfect for her, including the technological side of her birthday slideshow and making so many of our dreams and requests come true. We feel blessed to have had our paths cross with Bryan and Adriane both professionally and personally.

Our favorite memories were: "Loot, loot, loot!"; kneeboarding (stand up on it); The Baths; sailing lesson at Bitter End Yacht Club; our night at Cane Garden Bay; steaks on the boat; conch hunting in Anegada and watching the guide catch the lobster; movie night with Adriane's blondies, delicious!; and Soggy Dollar.

Thank you for the experience of a lifetime! We have made memories here we will never forget! Captain Bryan, thank you for putting your all into every single day; the trip wouldn't be the same without you! Chef Adriane, the food was amazing but the cool talks and "beachy" advice you gave is what we will carry with us! We hope to see you again and bless you both!!!

Our favorite memories were the slow mornings with amazing coffee and stretches; "seabobbing" around to check out the underworld; jumping off the Kasiopeja plunge to our "walkout" songs; sailing the open water to yacht rock up top; front row at Lime Out; pizza at Christmas Cove; stargazing and Loot every night... but overall... the food was incredible and the conversations over sunsets and dinner will be what we remember the most!

Thank you, Captain Bryan and Chef Adriane, for an unforgettable experience. Your fun-loving attitudes and the care you put into each day making it special for us and the girls was appreciated beyond words. May God bless each of you as you head into your next adventure.

* So much snorkeling with amazing sea creatures - "Rocky" the octopus, rays, turtles! * Movie night * Having The Baths and bubbly pool to ourselves! * Sailing to Anegada * Snorkeling the conch mounds and fishing for our own conch * Our amazing crew and dinner at the Wonky Dog! * Soggy Dollar day! *

Can't thank you enough for our "trip of a lifetime!" So wonderful to get away from our "normal lives" for a week and explore this amazing corner of the world. You provided adventures, fantastic service, and the best cuisine. Captain Bryan and Chef Adriane for the win!

Take all of the opportunities off the boat you can--the recommendations from our knowledgeable crew really helped us enjoy our trip. Best places to snorkel, bars, restaurants, islands . . . they know the best spots. Trusting and taking advantage of that was HUGE. BEST CREW!!!

Looking back on our voyage, the only words that come to mind are, "Hell yeah brother!" Painkillers were drunk, gainers were attempted, and laughs were in abundance.

Island Hoppers aboard Kasiopeja was more than a vacation. From snorkeling through crystal clear waters filled with vibrant fish, to the unforgettable moments spotting sea turtles gliding beside us, the elevated cuisine from Chef Sylvie, the thoughtful accommodating nautical genius of Captain Bryan (service like no other in the Virgin Islands) every day brought new wonder and gratitude.

But the best part of the journey was the laughter shared, the memories made, and the deeper connection we found with each other and with God through the beauty of these islands. The USVI gave us sunshine, saltwater, and unforgettable experiences -- but this trip gave us perspective, peace, and joy.

Until the next adventure . . .

We loved setting sail, soaking in the VI vibe. Captain Bryan and Chef Ariq, what an adventure and extraordinary week! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect escape! Fantastic and nicely appointed catamaran, the weather was absolutely glorious, and your warm hospitality, incredible cuisine, and seamless service made every day feel effortless. You thought of everything; all we had to do was soak it all in! We feel we have new friends in the VI. We'll be talking about this trip for years to come! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

JD's favorite memories are sailing with no other sound than the wind (wing on wing!); snorkeling with Captain Bryan; using the seabobs at The Baths. Alice's high point was being up top each morning with the seas and landscapes. 

Put your phone down and enjoy Island life without it. It's so hard to do but very rewarding. I wish I would have done it more. Bryan and Ariq made an amazing experience! Thank you for your hospitality. The best food we have had on these islands was done by Ariq. Thank you! Just a little wisdom sprinkled by Bryan, "Practice being grateful each day."

Mel loved playing cards while sipping [her] painkiller and looking beyond at the island views. Jeff enjoyed making time stand still and eliminating the "noise of life." A piece of serenity on earth!

Bryan made our trip smooth and seamless. "How can I help?" is his mantra! Ariq is a talented chef and we ate our best food on the boat. God bless and here's to what lies ahead!

Every day was amazing! Captain Bryan knows the best spots and when to get to them. The Baths, the bubbly pool, and White Bay were equally amazing. Chef Ariq's food was absolutely AMAZING!

Thank you for the vacation of a lifetime! Captain Bryan and Chef Ariq made every moment wonderful and were a great team. They are very focused and made us feel very at home. We had a blast and will certainly be back and hopefully with them again!

We loved our visit to Bitter End and Saba Rock. Perfect amount of time spent at each location. Captain Bryan even got off the boat to lead a quick hike at Bitter End. 10/10 day!

Thank you Captain Bryan! Your attention to detail made our trip. It was clear that your preparation in advance of our arrival made the trip. Thanks for the good conversations, island details, and genuineness.

Our favorite activity was snorkeling with the seabobs and seeing sea turtles! What an amazing trip! The food was next level! Bryan was so knowledgeable and had excellent suggestions on the must-go places.

Snorkeling at Norman Island was a great start to our time on Kasiopeja. Watching my husband and friends jumping off Willie T's. Dinner on Saba Rock. Listening to music up top while crossing to Anegada and back to Jost Van Dyke. Mooring and staying the night at Little Jost Van Dyke.

Our first time to the BVI escaping a long cold New England winter we knew would be perfect not knowing how magical it would be on Kasiopeja with our friends and the crew. Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie made this beautiful catamaran our "home away from home" for one week. We leave with many memories for which we will smile when remembering and leave with two new friends, Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie, whom we hope to see off our shores if not theirs once again. Thank you for an amazing time on Cassiopeia and in the BVI.

My favorite memory was swimming to The Baths and the Soggy Dollar Bar. Thank you, Captain Bryan, for encouraging me to head over. It would not have happened without your superb help propelling me over!

Truly amazing trip, we enjoyed every minute. Sylvie, your inner joy and culinary skills made every day so special. Captain Bryan, your kindness, professionalism, and sincere desire to make our trip memorable made this trip amazing. My first time to the Virgin Islands... We'll be back!

Jumping off Willie T's with my two buddies was AWESOME! Loved Cooper and Norman Islands, and a great hike above the Bitter End Yacht Club was a highlight as well. EVERY meal was great and our Captain's itinerary was PERFECT!

Fantastic trip. We loved everything about it. Both Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie were the BEST hosts and each of them very authentic, kind, enthusiastic, professional, and extremely capable I recommend them and the boat to anyone. Thanks so much for a great week!

Highlight for me was our sail to Anegada with perfect following winds! Thank you to Captain Bryan for letting me be the "deck hand!" Also, the amazing meals prepared by the lovely Sylvie and our fun conversations about food and cooking. Can't wait to return :)"

Every day was a new adventure! So appropriate that on one of our first days a beautiful rainbow was over the stern, and again on our last day. The snorkeling at the [Virgin Islands National] Park was fabulous!

This trip has been on my bucket list for 20 years! My first sailing trip and . . . captain [Bryan] and chef [Sylvie] spoiled me for future trips. Great attention to every detail and their guests' wishes!

[Our favorite memory was] anytime we were in the ocean and experiencing the fish and water. Bryan found the most amazing spots every day even while we had high winds! We experienced every part of the islands with joy, rainbows, [the] amazing crew, and friends.

I almost hesitate to do this trip again as Bryan and Sylvie were attentive, best chef ever, and I can't imagine a better trip. They [had to pry] us off the boat! We feel so lucky to have had this experience!

Loved snorkeling - able to see so many cool fish. Enjoyed many islands and sights. Went to The Baths and caves. Bubbly pool. Meals were beyond amazing. Captain Bryan provided a lot of facts and info. Just being on the boat was perfect!! 

What an amazing trip. We have never done a catamaran and didn't know what to expect. All we can say is WOW!! This was the most relaxing and enjoyable adventure. Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie were wonderful.

It is so hard to think of just one thing, but snorkeling is definitely at the top of the list--especially using the "Seabob" which is a wonderful way to explore a wide area in a limited time span. Also, just being in the water, on deck, or at any one of the fun beach bars Captain Bryan takes you to will be a memorable, great experience!

Thank you, Captain Bryan and Chef Extraordinaire Sylvie, for showing us such a great time! We were treated like kings and queens and the food was supreme! Now, five pounds heavier, we will have happy memories of our relaxing and completely satisfying vacation in the beautiful British Virgin Islands! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
