SAIL AWAY

Top-Notch

We just returned home from an amazing week with Connor and Ada! From the second we stepped on board, they made us feel right at home. 



Their hospitality was top-notch! Connor is an amazing captain and host. We all really enjoyed every story he had to tell and we learned so much from him every day! 

And Ada, blew us away with every single meal she prepared for us! 



And I can honestly say, I have never cried, leaving a vacation until this one. 



We all miss them already and cannot wait to go back! And yes, we will be going back very soon! :-)

Stop Looking and Book This Crew

Our week aboard our charter was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped on board, Connor and Ada made us feel welcome, relaxed, and completely taken care of.



Connor struck the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. His knowledge of the BVI, attention to safety, and ability to tailor each day to our group’s interests made the entire trip feel effortless. Every anchorage, beach, and adventure seemed perfectly chosen.



Ada was absolutely incredible. Every meal was beautifully prepared, fresh, creative, and delicious. She consistently exceeded our expectations, and each meal became a highlight of the day. It’s hard to believe the quality and variety she was able to create from a yacht galley.



Together, Connor and Ada made an amazing team. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail transformed an already beautiful vacation into a truly unforgettable experience. The yacht was immaculate, the service was exceptional, and every day brought new memories that we’ll be talking about for years.



If you’re considering a charter in the BVI, stop looking and book an &Beyond Yacht Charters yacht. We couldn’t imagine a better crew or a better experience. Thank you, Connor and Ada, for giving us the trip of a lifetime—we can’t wait to sail with you again!

Best Vacation Ever!

Quite literally the best vacation ever! 

Our charter was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Connor and Ada were hands down the best crew ever; they went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. 

Their hospitality, professionalism, and fun personalities made every day amazing. The food was amazing, better than any restaurant we ate at! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a better trip. 

Highly recommend!

Comment on the cleanliness of SAIL AWAY: 

The crew kept our cabins spotless and prepared.

Our beds were made and our bathrooms cleaned every morning while we ate breakfast. Main

saloon was vacuumed and mopped every evening after dinner.

Comment on the congeniality of your Captain and crew: Our crew was very friendly from our first FaceTime meeting before we traveled to Tortola to our final drop-off. Captain Conner, Chef Ada and Nicole were so friendly. They all doted on our 3-year-old grandson and Silas (our grandson) nicknamed the Captain, “Silly Conner”.



Comment on the service of your Captain and crew: 

The service was wonderful the entire week. It is not easy serving 11 people ages 3 to 70, 2 picky eaters; the captain and crew made it seem

effortless. This is our third charter we have worked with you to secure. All our crews have been great; this crew is our favorite so far. Here are just a couple of examples. I am an early riser in the morning, typically 4:30 am to 5 am. Nicole got up every morning at 5 am to make me coffee.

When I commented that I would be happy to push the button on the coffee maker and pour my

own cup, Nicole would have none of that. It was served to me graciously. They were willing to

change-up our pick-up and drop-off locations because our accommodations for the day before

and day after the cruise was on the west end of Tortola.



Comment on the fun aspect of your Captain and crew: 

They were the best! Wake boarding,

tubing, paddleboards, floating toys. They even had a big floating ring that worked like a child

swimming pool for our 3-year-old. Capt. Conner and Ada arranged our scuba diving with DIVE

BVI which is a great dive operation in the BVIs with locations on Virgin Gorda and Scrub Island.

They even played games with Silas and with the adults after Silas went to bed. Conner gave us abriefing every morning after breakfast using a map which was given to us at the end of the

charter. Conner quizzed us on what he had shared with us throughout the charter, where we

anchored on previous days, tidbits he had shared with us on the history of the islands – it was

very fun.



Comment on the expertise of your Captain and crew: 

Our crew was very professional and promoted safety through our cruise. Moorings and anchoring setup were accomplished with expertise. Conner did a mechanical check on the boat systems each morning.



Comment on the quality of your meals: 

All our meals were excellently prepared, and the quality was very high. We were not an easy group with one vegetarian, 2 adult picky eaters and a 3-year-old. Chef Ada rose to each meal. Filet mignon, salmon, sea bass, New York Strip, fresh sourdough bread, wonderful desserts and a birthday cake for Silas and me, both our birthdays were in May. Breakfasts were typically yogurt, eggs, fruit by our request.



Comment on the presentation of your meals: 

Beautifully presented with a completely different theme each night. Our birthday dinner and our final “pirate night” dinner were the favorites of Silas.

Broker Review - Personal Charter

We were spoiled rotten by the crew of Sail Away and would love to charter with that crew again.



 For my friends, this opened their eyes to a new world.  We had the best time, not a single complaint! The interior was clean, and I was impressed with how she showed being 12 years old.   



Connor is a fantastic captain, calm, funny, and we loved his morning briefings.  Truly a highlight for us every day.



Ada is an excellent chef, and my friends were blown away with every meal.  We loved her portion size and that we didn’t feel like we were weighed down by food.



Even though Nicole is in her first season, it didn’t show.  She would get us things before we had to ask, a true skill, and very hard worker. 



Happy to be a reference this program/crew any day.  Thanks again for assisting me on this trip of a lifetime.   



 

Filled Our Hearts Sailing Here

Five days adrift in turquoise dreams,

Where sunlight danced in silver streams,

Aboard Sail Away we laughed and swayed,

In the magic that the crew all made.



Each morning started with Connor’s grin,

Gathering us all to happily begin,

With charts, our plans, the route ahead,

And jokes that left us laughing instead.



Captain Connor at the helm so steady,

Calm and confident, always ready,

Guiding us through the islands bright,

By sapphire day and starlit night.



Chef Ada turned each meal to art,

A masterpiece from hands and heart,

And best of all, we never had to choose,

No menus, no stress, no endless reviews.



Each dish appeared, somehow more divine,

Perfectly timed with sunset and wine,

From breakfast spreads to dinners by sea,

Every bite felt like luxury.



And Nicole, with grace in every way,

Brought warmth and joy to every day,

Her cocktails crafted with effortless flair,

Always appearing just when needed there.



A frozen drink beneath the sun’s warm glow,

An evening toast as soft winds blow,

Always smiling, thoughtful too,

The kind of soul that stays with you.



We came to celebrate forty years,

With our friends, loud laughs, and happy tears,

A milestone marked by sea and sky,

With island sunsets drifting by.



These were the days we’ll talk about,

The kind that leave no room for doubt,

That life is best when shared this way,

With hearts wide open on Sail Away.



Together with our cherished friends,

We wished these perfect days wouldn’t end,

The BVI wrapped us in its glow,

With gentle winds and sunsets slow.



So here’s to memories we now keep,

Of laughter loud and waters deep,

And to this crew beyond compare,

Who filled our hearts while sailing there.

More than 5 Stars.

If I could rate more than 5-stars on this review, I would. 



My family and I had an amazing time during our charter, and it is all thanks to the crew and the wonderful, positive vibe they brought. They created such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that really made us feel well taken care of for the entire time we were on the boat. We laughed a ton and the crew was just as fun-loving as we were. Their anticipation for our needs was impressive; they totally surprised us with the activities and themes for dinner!



Additionally, the food was its own 5-star rating! The creativity and attention paid to each dish was truly met. We never ate the same meal twice, and our chef was able to create unique dishes that I would expect to order at a restaurant.



Lastly, the overall booking experience was seamless, and our booking agent was incredibly patient with us and the changes/ questions we kept tossing their way. They provided honest feedback on the concerns presented, and it is obvious as to why they are such professionals.



I honestly cannot say it enough – book SAIL AWAY with Connor, Ada and Nicole for your next charter experience! You will not regret it!

One In A Million Experience!

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful of a time we all had on the Sail Away with Captain Connor, Chef Ada and Stewardess/Bartender/Jack-of-all-trades Nicole!



Each and every detail - from itinerary, meal program, drinks, cleanliness and anticipation of our every need - was perfect. We had so much fun with them. More than a crew they felt like our friends! The way they took care of us was seamless, it felt like they were reading our minds.



What stood out especially to me was the birthday party they held for my friend and I on the last night. We felt so special and celebrated and couldn’t imagine a better way to start off this next year of life! And THE CAKE!!!! Best I’ve ever had. Nicole makes a mean martini too, better than the ones I’ve had in NYC.



Missing the Sail Away and everything about this one in a million experience. Run, don’t walk, to book with this team!!!!

WOW!!

WOW! We just returned from a 5 day charter on SAIL AWAY, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible.

The crew went above and beyond in every possible way. They were attentive, kind, and truly made us feel at home the entire trip. Every detail was taken care of seamlessly, allowing our family to fully relax and enjoy each others company. The food was outstanding, the itinerary was perfectly curated, and the level of service exceeded all expectations. What really stood out was how genuine and thoughtful the staff were. They didn’t just do their jobs, they created an unforgettable experience for our family that we’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re considering a charter, don’t hesitate, this was beyond a 5-star experience in every sense. We’re already dreaming about our next trip back!

Truly A Dream Vacation!

Our vacation was truly a five-star experience from start to finish. The perfect mix of fun and relaxing, with a crew that made the entire trip unforgettable.



Captain Connor was extremely passionate and knowledgeable— our itinerary was perfect. With him steering the ship (quite literally), the group was able to fully relax and just enjoy each moment together.



Nicole was nothing short of incredible. She made amazing drinks and was always so attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. She also added thoughtful touches along the way that made the trip feel really special. We joked that she was reading our minds as days went on and she anticipated our needs- she’s just that good.



Ada’s cooking was outstanding. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and something we genuinely looked forward to each day. It’s hard to believe the level of food she was able to create on a boat—it was that good. The fruit platters and baked goods were next level.



Overall, the team went above and beyond in every way. They created such a welcoming, easygoing atmosphere while still delivering an exceptional experience. It was truly a dream vacation!!

Amazing Time!

We have such an amazing time on Sail Away! 

The crew was amazing and truly made it feel like home away from home! I will definitely be doing this again!!

Your overall star rating?: 5



How would you describe your yacht? Was the yacht comfortable and clean? Well ventilated? Sufficient Shade? Sufficient Space to relax?

Truly exceptional on all fronts. Clean, extremely comfortable. plenty of room to relax.



How would you describe your crew? Were they courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Accompanied you on your activities/land excursions? Wore uniforms and acted professionally?

All of the above, yes. The captain and crew were truly amazing. We owned a Lagoon 450 ourselves, and my husband has a master's license sailing. He was very impressed with our captain Connor's experience and expertise - quite an accomplishment at a young age. And Ada, our chef, truly made the best food we have ever tasted. Every single meal was outstanding. And Nicole, our stew, was fantastic - helpful in every way. All three were as close to perfect as you can get.



Was the food great and well presented? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your crew pay attention to your preference sheets?

Yes! The food was truly gourmet fare, and they responded to every preference we mentioned. We were blown away!



How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your charter?

It was just right. They had to meet a wide range of preferences, from ages 2 to 75, some wanting bars and action, others wanting peaceful time in nature. They somehow did it all, which was no small feat!



Additional comments about the yacht and the crew?

This crew was specifically recommended by our friends who did a similar trip with Connor and Ada. I wasn't sure they could live up to all the wonderful things our friends had said, but they went above and beyond it. I'm sure you guys know what an asset this particular crew is to your business - they are fantastic, hard working, friendly, and talented at what they do.



Was it easy to travel to and from your yacht?

Yes



Did you like the area you chartered in?

Yes



In the future, would you consider : Follow the crew onto another yacht, Sail a different destination Any additional thoughts about your charter experience?: 

Thrilled to have this exceed expectations.

Connor, Ada & Nicole are the best of the best.

Choose A Team Like This!

Delicious food from Ada and had fun playing games with bestie Nicole. Conner was very cool to fish and go tubing with.

Nathan (Age 9)



We just returned from an incredible week-long crewed catamaran charter in the US/British Virgin Islands, and we can’t say enough about the crew. From the moment we stepped on board, Captain Connor, Ada and Nicole set the tone for what would be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations we’ve ever had.

The professionalism was immediately apparent.

If you’re considering a crewed charter in the VI, choose one with a team like this—you won’t regret it. They turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. Highly recommend!

Matt & Danielle



Icole, Ada, Onner are the best they fed and played with ume and made me safe.

Had Fun Every Step Of The Way

Connor, Ada, and Nicole were incredible hosts on Sail Away. 

I cannot rave about them enough. The trip through the BVIs was beautiful, and the crew made sure we were comfortable and having fun every step of the way. The food was out of this world, the boat was gorgeous and comfortable, and we had the perfect mix of activities and chill time.

I will miss Connor, Ada, and Nicole so much! Not just because of the delicious food, cocktails, and perfectly planned itinerary, but because they’re also the best people to be around! 

Thank you all so much for such a memorable trip.

Fantastic Time Had By All!

From age 75 down to 2 yrs old, a fantastic time was had by all. We will never forget you!!



Come visit each and every one of us in the future, please.



A million thanks!

One Of The Best Family Trips

To the Sail Away crew,



Thank you so much for the amazing week sailing around the BVIs. 

The food was an absolute highlight (thank you Ada!). 

The drinks were spectacular — mangolada, piña colada, painkillers. Thank you Nicole for keeping us hydrated! 

And to our captain Connor, thank you for the best tour of the BVIs in the world 🙂



From end to end, this was one of the best family trips we could have imagined and we are so appreciative of all you did for us.





Simply fabulous! ♥

Thank you! 

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise through the BVI. Sail Away is incredible, the food was delicious (Ada is a gifted chef) and the cocktails were amazing (Nicole is an outstanding host). 



We are extremely grateful for Captain Connor's knowledge, positive attitude, hard work and commitment to making this an unforgettable experience. 

From the moment we boarded, he did a fantastic job guiding us, answering our questions and always being helpful and engaged. Another aspect of our cruise that went beyond expectations was the food & service.

Perfection In Every Way!

We have been on several catamarans, and our crew was perfection in every way!! 



Connor, Adamaris, and Nicole worked so hard, with many smiles and fun, to make this cruise the best ever!! 

Connor was so informative and never seemed bothered by our questions while taking us to beautiful islands in the BVI. 

Adamaris is an awesome chef! The dinners and all meals were beautifully plated and SO delicious! 

Nicole! The sweetest 3rd that served us so well—from awesome cocktails to making our beds and anticipating our every need—she’s the best ever!! 



We would love to have them as our crew on every future cruise!! Thank you all!🩷🩷🩷

Attentive, Kind and Accommodating

Captain Connor, Chef Ada and Nicole on the Sail Away are the most attentive, kind and accommodating crew. 

The itinerary was flexible and fun, the food was high class, the boat was clean and our every need was met. 

The crew worked together well and seemed to have a good level of camaraderie, which makes the vibe easy and relaxed. I have some dietary restrictions and they were easily met by Ada. 

Connor is knowledgeable about the area and Nicole sets the scene and makes the drinks (among other things). This was my first catamaran charter and I will be spoiled by this experience

We Had An Amazing Time!

This was our first time on a catamaran cruise. 



We sailed on the ‘Sail Away’ and I must say, it totally exceeded all of my expectations. Our crew (Conner, Ada and Nicole) was amazing! 

The food was great….both in presentation and in taste. 

Nicole was always so eager to give us whatever we needed at all times! 

Conner was so knowledgeable and took us to all the most beautiful places in BVI. Our cabins were always clean and comfortable. 

The crew was also fun to spend time with; all the while doing their job professionally and safely. We had an amazing time! 

Thank you!!!

Will Never Forget

This was our first all inclusive catamaran cruise. This will be an experience we will never forget. This 3 person crew is just amazing, from Captain Conner, First Mate Nichole and Chef Ada. 

This is a vacation we will never forget. 

The personal touches really made a difference.

Pat P.

Highly, Highly, Highly Recommend this Crew and Catamaran

We chartered on the "Sail Away" with Captain Connor, Ada, and Nicole in Feb of 2026. 



Simply amazing. The crew was polite and courteous. They seemed to read our minds with what we wanted or needed next for drinks, snacks, activities, etc. The food was 5-star restaurant level stuff and I still can't figure out how Ada prepared the meals we ate onboard. They weren't just delicious, they were works of art. They took us to the best possible locations in the BVIs and we had the best vacating ever! 



Highly, highly, highly recommend this crew and this catamaran.
