ATLAS

We are 2023. We've been, we both been on it since April 23rd. So, we've kept it up to shape. The special thing about this boat is the owners actually. They love the boat just as much as we do. They love to sail. They actually plan to live on this boat within a year's time. So, they really love the boat and enjoy it with us and I think that's real important to have a great relationship with the owners and share the same beliefs and values. So, that's what makes this boat pretty special.

They can expect great food, great snorkeling locations, lots of fun, new experiences, and yeah, just good building a good rapport with Brenn and I, I think, is one thing that really stands out.

My best place in the BVI is probably Brewers Bay on the north side of Tortola, followed by Anegada.

What I love about the BVI is the slow pace and the relaxation feel you get from it when you go from island to island. Each little island's got a unique little touch to it. The BVI, I think I love the blue, blue waters and white, white sands. Like every bay you go to, it's just completely different and unique but still so beautiful.

You recognize a good broker by getting your preference sheets pretty early and for sending you messages and updates and always you can just tell when a broker has the guests in mind because they will go above and beyond to make their guest happy as well and to liaise with us as much as possible. That's when you know you've got a good one. So, if you guys are interested, give us a call and um yeah, then we'll get you on board.

Captain: There's been a couple of the Heysea's built, but this is the first charter edition of this kind of boat. The layout has been selected, so it is a fully customized boat to suit the charter needs of the BVI, but this is hull number 25. A lot of them are over on the other side of the world. So, this is the first one over in the Americas.

We're really excited. We think the layout's great. Myself and Dasha, we've been in the industry for quite a while. Um, so we're more than ready to take on the challenge.

I think with this kind of a layout, with the option of being able to take out 10 guests, I do think that you need to think about booking it a year in advance. Um, because we can take 10, even 12 people sometimes. Um, it does make it a very unique point and a unique selling point. So having booking earlier is always going to be the best option.

I know the BVI like the back of my hand. We generally try to keep our sailing somewhat to, you know, 2 and a half, maybe 3 hours per day, and that includes kind of stopping for a swim stop. Uh, I myself love diving, so I absolutely love going into the water and showing guests the kind of fish that we have, the reef, the importance of looking after the waters that we have here. So, I'm always trying to make sure that we're doing a swim stop at least once per day, either early in the morning or somewhat in the afternoon.

So, we'll kind of depart after breakfast. We will then go somewhere nice for lunch and then after lunch, we'll move to another stop. So, we're trying to show them as much of the BVI as we possibly can.

One of the reasons why I've always loved doing charter vacations is because you're always experiencing a new place pretty much every day. You know, when you go to a resort, you can only go so far before you have to come back. What we want to be able to deliver is we want people to be able to see new places, experience new things, experience the culture because every island is a little bit different in itself.

I think when people come out here, especially from the States where there is the hustle and bustle and there is the constant grind, it is nice when people get the chance to step on board the boat with myself and Dasha that they can then switch off. They don't have to worry about what time they got to make breakfast or like go downstairs and, and you know, like go from their room down to the restaurant and they've only got two hours to use as much food. They can set the time that they want. They can set the itinerary as they want. They get to fully kind of switch off and then Dasha and I take over and they can just fully relax for a week. I know sometimes that can be a little bit difficult, but the fact that people can come on here and we can take care of them from day one to the day they leave, I think is a pretty great experience. I think it's a life-changing experience.

When you're going for a broker, you're getting the best service that you can and you're getting reliability with that. You're getting firsthand experience from people who have been out here, who have seen the boat, and who have met the crew. So you're getting reliable information firsthand. So if you guys are interested, give us a call and um yeah, then we'll get you on board.
