GALAXSEA

January 2026

Our week aboard Galaxsea in the BVI was pure bliss, thanks to Captain Mitchell and Chef Sylvie. From our Red Hook, St. Thomas pick-up, their impeccable service shone – spotless cabins, seamless logistics, and personalized touches like snacks brought out to us via paddle board as we floated in crystal clear blue water!

 

Highlights included a private tour of Necker Island (exclusive access arranged flawlessly), thrilling snorkeling at The Indians and Diamond Reef teeming with vibrant marine life, and a fun JVD stop that culminated in a highly competitive corn hole game in front of Ivan’s. 

 

Chef Sylvie’s creative, beautifully presented meals were customized, fresh-sourced, and perfectly paired – elevating every moment.

The guys enjoyed crewing for Captain Mitchell as he taught them how to sail in perfect conditions.

 

Galaxsea was fabulous - tons of space to spread out on deck and up top.  Cozy, well-appointed cabins.  Games, floaties, paddle boards, snorkel gear and more!

Flawless adventure for our group of nine – booking again! 10/10.

We spent a week chartering the Galaxsea Catamaran, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The boat itself is beautifully maintained—spacious, stable, and thoughtfully laid out, with plenty of room to relax both indoors and on deck. Whether we were sailing between anchorages or lounging at sunset, the catamaran was comfortable and smooth, even in varying conditions.

What truly elevated the trip was the overall experience onboard. Every detail felt well considered, from the cleanliness of the cabins to the ease of living on the boat for a full week. The Galaxsea offered the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation: great sailing performance, ample social spaces, and quiet corners when you wanted to unplug. It never felt crowded, even with everyone onboard.

A week on the Galaxsea was the ideal way to explore, unwind, and fully enjoy life on the water. We came away with unforgettable memories and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, stress-free charter experience.

My husband and I recently returned from a truly memorable week aboard the Galaxsea, a luxurious 54-foot catamaran from the USVI to the BVI. This voyage represented the fulfillment of a long-held dream, as it allowed us to recreate the magic of our honeymoon spent in a similar setting 46 years ago.

Each day brought new adventures as we explored one or two distinct islands, enjoying exceptional snorkeling, leisurely beach walks, or simply relaxing on the expansive deck while soaking in the breathtaking Caribbean scenery. The sunsets are amazing!

The catamaran’s thoughtful multi-level design—with lower, mid, and upper decks—provided ample space to spread out, offering both sunny and shaded areas to suit individual preferences. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, a crucial feature given my chronic back issues.

What elevated the experience above all was the exceptional crew: our captain and chef delivered highly personalized service with warm, engaging personalities and genuine enthusiasm. Their attentiveness and creativity—particularly in the culinary offerings—made every moment delightful and effortless.

I wholeheartedly recommend this charter to anyone seeking a refined, rejuvenating, and deeply romantic vacation in the islands. It was an unforgettable celebration of time, love, and natural beauty.

Beautiful experience with a wonderful crew!



Eliot enjoyed his time on the boat, both as a passenger and as captain of his dingy. He especially enjoyed his elevated position as Commodore of the Galaxsea!



Thank you!

Xander and Tay exceeded our expectations

Amazing trip! Thank you so much for all your hard work. This has been such a stressful year with covid and quarantine. We definitely needed a break from all of it. You helped us accomplish all we wanted to do - beautiful hikes, great snorkeling, wonderful beaches. Taylor, the food was delicious!! Thanks to both of you for all your hard work! Christmas Eve dinner was the best! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. it will definitely be one of our favorite Christmas memories. And of course after each great day of fabulous food and fun adventures we played playing Settlers of Catan. We are definitely going to have to return if nothing else, to try to beat Xander. Thanks for such an amazing week!! Xander and Tay exceeded our expectations everyday, Hands down best Christmas vacation ever.

We all met as strangers and left as friends

Captain Xander was the absolute best!!! Always super helpful in suggesting plans, super calm and collected amidst a few boat issues we had, and always encouraging of a good time. Not to mention he found us some awesome swim spots and amazing places to eat. We all met as strangers and left as friends. We definitely know our experience would not have been nearly as amazing if it weren’t for him. We can’t wait to request him next time!!

Accommodating and understanding

Xander's knowledge about the boat, the sea, each island and yacht week was stellar. He was exceptionally helpful in communicating updates, recommending things to do/dinner venues and booking said venues. He was really great at reading overall energy levels of the group and matching them. Also hyping us up when needed! He was accommodating and understanding - reminding us all that it was our trip and tailoring it to us.

The perfect balance between professionalism, safety, and fun

Captain Xander was amazing. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism, safety, and fun during a seriously challenging week due to the Corona Virus situation. The whole time maintaining a positive attitude and checking in with each of us personally to still give us the best vacation possible. Personally, I was interested in learning about sailing, and Xander was more than happy to nerd out with me, which was great. Even though it was my first charter, I really can’t imagine having a better, more receptive, and friendly skipper!

Not only were the meals always different, but always fresh, always creative and so well thought out

I LOVE TAYLOR. That’s my girl!!!! Food was fire, so so good always. Not only were the meals always different, but always fresh, always creative and so well thought out. We had so many different options, everyone always had enough. We kept saying she couldn’t top one meal, and then she’d top it with the next one. If we ate a lot at breakfast, she was flexible about lunch time. She was very attentive and was quick on her feet to making use of what was available. She was super friendly, talkative, energetic, bubbly, funny, and we loved hanging with her. Especially me I got to talk to her a lot and she was awesome. Up early, working hard, on task, cleaning up, not leaving any messes, washing dishes right after meals, and always so helpful to us on setting up/coordinating dinners and hanging with us. Really feel like I made a genuine friend with her too.

The food was Michelin 3 stars

When I think of peaches I think of Taylor. Her energy and smile alone made the week that much more fun. Her food was Michelin 3 stars. She was always on point with everything, from getting our tables set up to helping us with jet skis. Taylor is an Aussie but moving to the US and I can't wait to reunite with her in October.

The food was amazing. Taste, quantity, quality was all taken well care of.

She made us feel at home. The food was amazing. Taste, quantity, quality was all taken well care of. She always had a smile on her face which made it even more special. Thank you Taylor!

We highly recommend you as perfect hosts for any group

We challenged you to free us from quarantine and pandemic induced claustrophobic blues while also keeping us safe. You were wildly successful! Xander sailed us to beautiful hidden harbors and secluded beaches without requiring us to look at our watches or a calendar for that matter. Xander accommodated our desire to feel productive by accepting less than effective gestures of help in anchoring and mooring making us feel like contributors despite increasing his workload. Taylor's meals were inspired, delicious, and beautiful gourmet courses. When the local restaurants shut down mid week, new onboard menus were planned and delivered without missing a beat. Not only were you competent at adjusting to unplanned curveballs, you did so in a way that made it seem like the plan all along. By the end of the trip we were calling you "mom and dad" despite us being twice your age. You were the coolest "parents on the boat" since you fed us a never-ending stream of painkillers. We highly recommend you as perfect hosts for any group looking to dip their toes in the water and adolescence, secure that you'll keep them from drowning in either.

Thank you!!

You both were the most wonderful captain cutie and chef beautiful. You made us forget reality and live in a fantastic fantasy, Thank you!!

The best capt and chef around

The best capt and chef around - thank you for an absolutely magical week! We loved seeing your beautiful home and adventuring around with you and one heck of a group. Feeling very grateful for a wonderful week and even more wonderful friends. We'll be back soon - even if its only to keep beating Xander in Catan.

The food and hospitality were above and beyond

Thanks so much for an awesome week. We had so much fun getting to know each of you. You both made the experience one that we will never forget. The food and hospitality were above and beyond. Cant wait to come back! Thanks again!

We cannot thank you enough for becoming part of the group and feeling like family

Thank you for a week filled with amazing memories. From Swish to Smirnoff ices, Tito's to turtles, swells to sensational food, and everything in between. We cannot thank you enough for becoming part of the group and feeling like family. We hope to adventure with you again - and dine on Taylor's incredible food again!

What an amazing week!

What an amazing week! Thank you so much for all of our amazing experiences. This was truly a bucketlist trip and would not have been as wonderful without both of you. I cant wait to follow along your adventures!
