Reviews
I just returned from an incredible week-long vacation sailing around the British Virgin Islands aboard the Bacchus yacht. Bacchus is a beautiful, well-appointed 59’ catamaran that is spacious and comfortable.
The captain, Evanne Soeten, and first mate/chef, Stijn Van Der Bruggen, made the vacation even more memorable. They are two very professional, talented, and skilled people who went out of their way to accommodate my family and me.
Evanne is very safety conscious. She sailed Bacchus around the BVI with reassuring confidence, always finding the calmest anchorages for us to enjoy the many water toys.
Stijn is a professional chef who made every meal a culinary delight. It was a Michelin-like experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.
In addition to being the captain, Evanne is also a sommelier. She paired delicious wines with every dinner. Each nutritious meal was thoughtfully planned with the perfect mix of flavors, textures, and colors. I’ve never taken so many pictures of meals!
We look forward to planning our next vacation aboard Bacchus with Evanne and Stijn.
I also included several pictures of the meals. I hope the Bacchus owner gives both of you a raise—you deserve it. Have a great summer.

What could be better than experiencing a brand new charter boat! The Bacchus is a a beautiful 59 feet cat that is fitted out so well. The furnishings provided comfort and space for our party to both join together for wonderful meals and sunsets but also have plenty of room and different hideaways to enjoy personal time.
We loved all the toys on the boat -- the sea bobs, paddle boards, floating sofa and lily pad, and the e-foil. One of our party even achieved vertical lift off thanks to Stijn's expert tuition.
Evanne is a brilliant captain who briefed us daily on the plans for the week and specifics for each day and mastered all the crossings from point to point both under sail and power brilliantly. She is calm, capable and charming but very much in control as Captain. She is also a knowledgeable sommelier and makes a mean margarita!
Stijn is an amazing chef! He produced Michelin star quality food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and never repeated himself. We had delicious cuisine from around the world -- Italian, Mexican, Korean, Caribbean and Dutch to name but a few. He cooks with passion and a deep knowledge of how to prepare and present fabulous meals. When complimented with Evanne's sommelier experience this makes for very memorable meals which we looked forward to with great anticipation.
Together Evanne and Stijn are the perfect package, their commitment to make their clients feel at home with every wish anticipated and catered for, makes for an unforgettable experience.
We leave with massive smiles on our faces and definite plans to return.
James & Victoria Corcoran
You both were beyond amazing, you are both so great at your jobs, and you are also such nice genuine people who really take pride in everything you do.
We are so grateful (and lucky) that we landed you two as our crew this past month. As I’ve told you multiple times, you both made our trip special. So special, that when we come back for a month next year, we can’t imagine not having you with us. We have so much respect for you both, and for how hard you work all day every day. As we wrote in the Borrowed Bounty book, you represent your company so well, they should be very proud and appreciative to have you on their team.
We view you both as friends at this point and look forward to staying in touch between now and our trip back to BVI next May.
We wish you both the very best, and if there is every anything we can do for you please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thanks again for making this trip so memorable!
Thank you for another great week in the BVI. You planned an excellent itinerary and worked diligently to make sure we had the best experience.
The Borrowed Bounty was a new boat for you as a crew, and when there were A/C and generator issues, you never gave up and worked hard to resolve them—all while still making sure we were well fed and enjoying each location!
Evanne, you always found the best mooring spots and you are both kind and joyful.
Stijn, your meals were incredible! We felt like we toured the world through your cuisine.
You catered excellently to dietary restrictions while maintaining variety and incredible flavor in each meal.
Overall, we loved how well you worked together. It was a blast getting to know each of you—we look forward to more trips in the future!
Sincere thanks for making our charter so memorable and special.
Evanne, your positive attitude, constant smile, and exceptional customer service made it an absolute pleasure to sail with you. You are a highly knowledgeable and competent captain, and we always felt completely safe with you at the helm.
Stijn, your food was impeccable. We looked forward to every single meal. The way you combined flavors and presented each dish made us feel like we were dining in a different five-star restaurant every day.
Thank you so much for taking such thoughtful care with our daughter’s food allergies as well—it meant the world to us. Evanne and Stijn, over the course of our month-long stay, you became more than our crew—you became our friends. Every day brought something new, and you graciously adapted to our last-minute plan changes.
The month flew by far too quickly. We highly recommend you to anyone lucky enough to have you as part of their crew. Your company is incredibly fortunate to have you representing them.
We wish you both all the very best, and if there’s ever anything we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Pre-trip communications were easy, thorough and excellent. Stijn and Evanne organized a Zoom permeating to meet/greet, discuss menus and preferences regarding activities and destinations.
They arranged reservations for meals out, transfers and logistics. They incorporated our preferences and provided alternate suggestions.
Evanne’s professional ability and maturity are beyond her age. Winds gusting to 30 knots were abnormally strong. Her seamanship and marine critical judgement exhibited a calm professional demeanor. Her ability to manage many things at once was demonstrated during the maneuvering of the boat in open waters, tights spaces and high winds.
Stijn’s passion for feeding people shines. His scratch cooking with fresh ingredients showcased his culinary knowledge of international cuisine. He adjusted menus to accommodate dietary restrictions. Our group of well-traveled fun-loving seniors have eaten at some of the finest restaurants around the world and have not had such consistently superb meals. He deserves a Michelin star!
Evanne and Stijn worked as a seamless team. They supported each other and the passengers. Their hospitality created a tabling experience that was inviting and inclusive.
We’re coming back to charter with Evanne and Stijn wherever they are!
We were a party of 10 and the level of service they provided was outstanding. So impressed with both of them.
First - Stijn’s prowess in the kitchen is unmatched - we have used chefs before - he is #1 in our book.
Evanne’s knowledge and professionalism as our captain was impressive. Not our first charter - would sail with her again.
Their suggestions for excursions were awesome. We had so much fun and I feel they gave us the best of the BVI.
This Boston crew will follow Evanne and Stijn anywhere.
They were absolutely top-notch. The food was incredible, and everyone was happy. The yummy cocktails offered throughout the trip were a great touch of service, and they truly went above and beyond.
Evanne was always calm and confident, making everyone feel safe. They took us to amazing spots—both off the beaten path and the well-known gems—and we appreciated both.
We’ve done a similar trip before, and we all agreed: Evanne and Stijn are the very best of the best! Thank you from all of us!
We are a group of 10, who always felt comfortable and safe while onboard.
Evanne is caring, adventurous and so fun! She shared her knowledge and experiences with us and allowed us to experience the best of the BVI.
Stijn knew how to amaze us in the galley! We had no idea we’d be eating in a 5-star restaurant each day! He kept our taste buds gong by taking us all around the world with his dishes! Spain, Greek, Italy, plus pops of Korean, wow! Amazing.
Together Stijn and Evanne were at their best. They worked together providing us with a trip that will remain one of our very favorites.
Thank you for the most amazing week, your kindness and care and for sharing your talents with us!
Your care, professionalism, and hospitality were unmatched. We feel so fortunate to have had you as our hosts. Our BVI trip was hands down our best vacation ever! We had no idea we were in for the most amazing culinary experience. Evanne and Stijn’s professionalism and hospitality made us feel welcome and safe.
Thank you for making our first BVI trip unforgettable!
Evanne and Stijn provided such an amazing experience—wonderful hosts of the islands. Every meal was a visual delight, with no detail overlooked.
Stijn’s creations will forever change how we approach dining out. Don’t be fooled by their youthful appearance—they are true experts in the field of hospitality.
Thank you for a wonderful week!
Thank you for the best week ever. You spoiled our family of 10 and contributed to our joy filled and memorable trip.
Not only were you both very talented and professional crew, but you did it with such a great attitude and brought such joy and happiness to our adventure.
Our family of 10 can be challenging to deal with at times but your patience and understanding were fantastic.
Thank you for the best week ever! We love you and thank you for the best food, the most fun and the greatest adventures we’ve ever had!
