MINTED ONE

February 2026 BVI Charter

Our charter boat vacation was nothing short of spectacular, thanks to an incredible crew and an impeccably maintained catamaran. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew was engaging, warm, and genuinely pleasant, making us feel at home right away.

One of the standout features of this trip was having the ability to dive directly from the boat. Being able to slip into the water whenever the mood struck was absolutely incredible and added a level of adventure we didn’t expect but absolutely loved. The flexibility that comes with chartering was a huge highlight as well; the crew was extremely accommodating and made every effort to tailor our itinerary and onboard experience to exactly what we wanted.



Let’s talk about the food and drinks, because wow. The coffee, cocktails, and meals were true showstoppers. Every sip and bite felt like a high-end treat, and the overall dining experience elevated the entire trip.



The catamaran itself was spotless. Not only was it beautifully kept from the start, but the crew did an amazing job maintaining its tidiness throughout our stay without ever feeling intrusive.

On top of all that, the water toys made our time aboard even more fun. The sea foil and sea scooters were exciting additions that kept everyone entertained for hours. 



Overall, this was a dream vacation, made extraordinary by an exceptional crew, flawless service, and unforgettable moments. We can’t recommend this charter highly enough!



Thanks again for an incredible trip! All the best to you and girls this season.



Cheers,

Cristine (and of course Rick, Graham, Walt and Jane)

NYE 2025 BVI Charter

How many stars is one able to give before they become meaningless?   Out of 5 stars, I give the crew, the boat and the charter company a 10+.



I’ll start with the boat: absolutely stunning.  Gorgeous inside and out, the details are elegant and impeccable (according to my very untrained eye) and the feeling is elevated comfort with the right amount of luxury to feel special.  I never once felt like I was camping or crowded or that I even wanted to get off the boat (I would still like to be back on the boat).  We only learned later how the crew and charter company moved heaven and earth and called in every favor to to get the essentials needed for a charter, much of it borrowed.  Everything from the bedding to decorative table scapes to never seeming to run out of wine glasses somehow was seamless.  We had no idea how it all came together at the last minute. 



Which may be due to the crew.  The level of professionalism, expertise, and composure on a brand new boat on its very first charter, and first charter as a team, was top notch. When including three great personalities, you truly have the A-team crewing the Minted One.  Their ability to manage our group of middle aged motley crew who don’t know how to act our ages with patience and grace was perfect. We had some ridiculous requests, in particular with the planning and  execution of a surprise birthday party and the crew absolutely blew us out of the water with the way they embraced the request and executed flawlessly. 



From the outset Captain Jake was very personable, direct,  clearly knowledgeable and dealt with our many requests with a great attitude.  He also demonstrated great leadership by stepping in and supporting his team where needed.  He was fun to have as our Captain and answered ALL of our questions about everything.  



To call the meals prepared by Chef Caitlin amazing does not do them justice.  The food was incredible!  I don’t want to say too much or future charter guests won’t ever want to dine off the boat, but she did in fact serve the single best fish meal OF MY LIFE, and the Thai Steak salad for lunch was easily on the top 5 of at least the last decade.  There was another debate at lunch one day where Caitlyn’s delivery on gourmet cheeseburgers was the single best we’ve ever had - and Americans eat a lot of cheeseburgers.  She paid exceptional attention to our preference sheets, accommodating each of our weird issues, and provided fresh, flavorful delicious dishes spanning a wide range of cuisines at every meal.  I may not eat that well again for a very long time.  



I am convinced that Anna is a triplet and all 3 live on the boat, sharing her job.  She has an unbelievable ability to simultaneously refill your coffee, set a perfect table, impeccably service your cabin and mix a mean Bloody Mary.  All at the same time! How? And with a smile and such an even temperament that we never saw break.  And we tested it! I never saw her sit down.  She is highly professional and gracious, her extensive training on the “big boat, attention to detail and awesome personality shined brightly.  



We were so grateful to have this crew and sail on the Minted One for our trip.  Captain Jake, Caitlin and Anna for making this happen for us.  Don’t be surprised when you see us again!



Best regards,

Andi 

Jake and Caitlin Past Reviews

May 2025

Jake and Caitlin made us feel like all our wishes came true. We were always at a perfectly fascinating spot at the right time. Our days were amazingly planned out, they felt long and satisfying. We did so much and yet feel like it was a super relaxing vacation. Every day was a surprise. Jake is a great captain and knows the BVIs really well, we always felt safe.

Caitlin's cuisine was so wonderful, every meal was prepared with meticulous care, the flavors were amazing, the presentation spectacular. On top of that they were well balanced nutritionally. They were served without asking, at the perfect time between activities.

While providing a wonderful service, it felt like they were invisible angels taking care of us. We felt like we were at home and not guests on Adagio.

We pretty much surrendered all our decisions to their team, which made it the ultimate relaxation experience. We now know that it is the crew that makes the trip. 

Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this week one we'll always remember. Adam and I loved seeing all the new BVI sites - Vanishing Rock, Carrot shoal, Devils Kitchen, and on and on... Caits food was amazing and always a treat at the end of a long day - or at its start - or in the middle! Restaurant quality from the tiny kitchen! The two of you are the salt of the earth! 

Let us know when you come to Boston!

Thanks so much for the amazing diving, food, games, company and so much more. You both made this week truly special. I loved exploring all the new dive sites with you, Jake, and all the outrageously good food from you Caitlin! I would love to come back and spend another week with you both!
