Onboard catamaran BAREFEET RETREAT - 4-5 pretty equal double cabins - so good for sharing for 8 or 10 - potentially 5 couples.

The deck space is fantastic the flybridge merges with the foredeck - so you can walk everywhere.

Very spacious.

BAREFEET RETREAT Yacht Description

  • 2x Sea Scooters:
    Great for quick snorkeling adventures and exploring reefs without tiring out.
  • Wakeboard + towable tube:
    Easy, high-energy towing sessions for mixed-age groups off the 14'6" tender.
  • Sailing instructor onboard:

Ten guests, five queens. BAREFEET RETREAT is a 57-foot Royal Cape sailing cat built in 2020, set up for up to 10 guests in 5 queen cabins, each with its own en-suite.

Comfort, not camping. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a TV saloon keep everyone happy when it is time to cool off, and there is an outdoor shower and BBQ for living outside without overthinking it.

BAREFEET RETREAT
January 2026
Captain Matt and Kari,
It has been an absolute pleasure sailing around the islands and laughing more and more as we went. Thank you for all the amazing meals, stories and game nights! This was a trip to remember forever, and we are so so grateful that you were a part of it.
Love, James and Allie

New Years 2025/26
An Experience Beyond Our Wildest Dreams:

We have just returned home from the most incredible trip touring the British Virgin Islands aboard the Barefeet Retreat, and we truly don’t have enough words to capture how extraordinary this experience was from start to finish.

From the very beginning, the booking and planning process was seamless and thoughtful thanks to [Broker] and her amazing team. Every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm, which immediately set the tone for what would become an unforgettable journey.

And then there was Captain Matt and Kari, who, by the end of the trip, felt less like our crew and more like family. Saying goodbye at drop-off was genuinely emotional, complete with teary eyes all around.

Captain Matt curated the most perfect itinerary, taking us to breathtaking snorkeling sites, all the must-see locations, and anchoring us each evening in the most stunning, postcard-worthy settings. His knowledge, confidence, and passion for what he does were evident every single day. And as if that weren’t enough, his unexpectedly elite skills at “Rummy Cube” were greatly appreciated, and the laughter that filled the boat on our final night playing “Drop the Mic” was the perfect ending to a perfect journey. (Also, yes Matt can absolutely rock those 80’s tunes!)

Kari was equally incredible, joining in our shenanigans while somehow keeping us exceptionally well-fed throughout the trip. Every single meal was delicious, from her homemade oatmeal and granola to unforgettable wahoo and chicken dishes. Plates were cleared at every meal without exception. And the cookies and brownies? Let’s just say we’re still dreaming about them.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. It was relaxing, adventurous, joyful, and deeply memorable. If you are considering a BVI sailing experience, do not hesitate, this team delivers something truly special. We will cherish these memories forever and cannot wait to return. ⚓️🏝️❤️

________________________________

Our group of seven friends had the pleasure of chartering with Captain Matt Neidlinger and his wife, Chef Kari on SV Manna.
Captain Matt was outstanding throughout the entire trip. He’s incredibly easy-going yet professional, and his knowledge of the area is second to none. Matt ensured our group was always comfortable, and his commitment to safety was evident throughout the entire charter. He even led us on some incredible snorkel spots and led a dive for 2 of our group.

In addition to being a fantastic captain, Matt was a huge help in the planning stages of the trip. He worked closely with [Broker] to assist us before we even arrived, providing helpful suggestions for activities, equipment, and local tips. The communication was seamless, and we always felt well-informed and confident leading up to our vacation.

As for Kari, she’s a culinary genius! The meals she prepared were absolutely delicious, and she always had something to please everyone’s tastes. Whether it was fresh seafood, vibrant salads, or decadent desserts, each meal was a treat. Kari’s attention to detail and her ability to craft the perfect drink to pair with each dish made every meal feel special. We were truly spoiled by her cooking!

Having been to the BVI many times before, we were familiar with the area, but this trip was even more special thanks to Matt and Kari. This charter exceeded all of our expectations. Matt and Kari’s hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail made this one of the best trips we've ever had.
We can’t wait to charter with them again!

April 2025 - Wedding Charter

There are not enough words to express how much fun we had with you this week. You went above and beyond – attending our wedding & playing the Uke for my walk down the aisle, turning Sam into a mini bosun, playing liars dice many evenings, the list goes on…. We will cherish this trip for the rest of our lives and you two are a big part of that. Thank you for the laughs, the fun, the new experiences, and the memories. Thank you all for making our wedding week so special. We look forward to our paths crossing again one day (hopefully soon)! We will miss y’all dearly.”

You both have been such a huge, integral part of our positive memories from this trip – it wouldn’t have been the same without you! Thank you for all that you did behind the scenes, I bet it is not easy but it doesn’t go unnoticed. We had so much fun getting to know you, laugh with you, play games with you, and be ourselves around you! Until next time, Do More, Say Less!!”
- Love yall, Meredith & Will
“Start to finish, top to bottom, can’t say enough to fully say how great you have made this trip. The excursions on Anegada and the Royal evening in Guana to the wedding, Meredith’s birthday, and walking Lauren down the “aisle” to the uke stylings of Janine. All unexpected and over the top. You both have made this week unforgettable in so many ways. Thank you for all you did. May our paths cross again!
- All the best! Steve and Kelly

Special lifelong bond that cannot be forgotten
"Creating lifelong memories is a special treasure that so many of us take for granted until it is too late. However, the week we spent on Barefeet Retreat with Captain Jenn and Breezy Cooking will always hold a special place in our hearts and our entire group is excited to be back on the boat with them again in the future. When a trip ends with genuine hugs and tears, that sums up that not only did everyone very much enjoy themselves, but we all made a special lifelong bond that cannot be forgotten. First, Breezy Cooking’s cuisine and special beverages would rival any fine restaurant, however the hospitality from Jenn and Bree make the trip even more special. Let me tell you, these two ladies worked hard the entire trip to make everything perfect for us, but they always were enjoying themselves, had smiles on their faces and had this contagious positive view on life that continues to resonate with us. These two special ladies are making the world a better place purely from being in it and spreading their infectious positivity to everyone who is around them. The boat’s layout was perfect, the beds were comfortable, everything was immaculate and clean and with scenic background accompanied with our new found family in Jenn and Bree made for a perfect trip that we will never forget and hope to duplicate soon. " - Steve E.
BAREFEET RETREAT
The dynamic duo
Bree and Jen are like the dynamic duo. Their personalities and dedication to a great charter, I imagine will be hard to find again. The food was amazing and Bree got it right every meal. Jenn was not only an awesome captain, but a great Scuba instructor as well. From the moment we stepped on the Yacht, the two of them really made us feel at home, comfortable, relaxed and in a mindset to have a great time. We only hope to bring our children back with us next time. p.s They found us front row mat position for "After Irma Band"......try that StubHub! - Matt F.
BAREFEET RETREAT
Fantastic week
What a Fantastic week we had with Mary Poppins (Bree) and Wonder Woman(Jenn)! They made all our adventures come true! We had a group of 8 with 6 divers and they made us extremely comfortable, paying attention to every detail possible. Food was out of this world and the sailing was very fun. You will be so happy you picked these two. - Troy K.
BAREFEET RETREAT
We are ready to book again
Our stay was beyond comfortable because Captain Jenn and Chef Bree exceeded all our expectations and truly brought our preferences to life! With children on board, we were amazed at the endless activities and constant attention that they provided to help us feel at home. Captain Jenn amazed us with her skill and knowledge, but also was warm and patient with our gang. And, Chef Bree is a ray of sunshine! She prepared five star meals for every seating and amazed us with daily cocktails of the day and delicious desserts! The crew duo serving Barefeet Retreat are so warm and caring that you’ll leave with 2 new family members! And, the boat was kept immaculate and stocked with water toys. We are ready to book again! - Jenni B.
BAREFEET RETREAT
Couldn't have dreamed of a better crew
Jenn and Bree were outstanding! Both ladies were gracious, welcoming and good humored hosts every day. They were very knowledgeable about all things sailing/St.Thomas and St. John related and maintained the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness with all of us.

Jenn gave us a daily game plan about stops, sails and activities each morning and was always eager for our feedback and open to changes. We had a great mix of activities - hiking one day, hitting a beach at 2 or 3 stops, tubing twice, paddle boarding, a smidge of shopping and lots of off-the boat swimming and snorkeling. Jenn even found live music on another chartered boat and "dinghyed" us over to listen. We all agreed our favorite part was sailing and being on the open water! Our 15 yo daughter claimed a spot right next to Jenn for each sail so she could chat, ask questions and have the best view.

Bree is a phenomenal chef! Hands down outstanding, 5-star meals every time! She managed to compile all of our different likes/tastes into beautiful mealtime presentations. She also cooked with a healthy note - we always had salads, smoothies and fresh fruits and veggies, which many of us appreciated. In addition, Bree was unbelievably accommodating and adjusted meals for our very picky 12yo eater. Lastly, Bree was a wonderful bartender and mixologist - she always put a fun spin on our favorites and gave us something new to try (Ask for her French 75 with lemongrass simple syrup or the Passion Fruit Margarita).

Finally, and most important to us as parents, Jenn and Bree gave our three kids oodles of attention, spoke to and treated them with respect, and patiently answered a million questions. Our 7yo was completely smitten with Bree and said to me when we got home, "Why do we have to leave when we just made friends with them?" Lots and lots of love for this crew!

We couldn't have dreamed of a better crew. - Meg S.
BAREFEET RETREAT
Get ready to worry about nothing at all
“You have arrived, do yourself a favor and stop searching now, you will not find a better combination of craft and crew than this. Sailing aboard Barefeet Retreat with Captain Jenn & Chef Abrye is as good as it gets. We truly cannot think of a single thing that we would have changed during the entire week we spent. This newer yacht is very roomy, has all the comforts of home, and plenty of covered space for all to enjoy. Jenn & Abrye are intelligent, skilled, and kind, both with great senses of humor and delightful wit. Whatever your taste buds desire, Chef Abrye can make it happen, every meal was fantastic and full of flavor. I think this lady is the next big thing just waiting to be discovered, so amazingly creative. Captain Jenn is a divemaster, accomplished sailor, knowledgeable hiker, and a confident leader. You just know that you are in good hands with Jenn at the helm. So finish up your To Do List, pack lightly, and get ready to worry about nothing at all, and have one of the most wonderful weeks of your life.” - Dennis C.
BAREFEET RETREAT

Let me know if anyone ever needs a review! I will gladly make a high recommendation
Thank you for working with me and making this all come together.

Broker provided survey
Crew Friendliness:
Jenn and Bree were fabulous. They exuded warmth and friendliness and made all of us feel most welcome onboard. Mac (7) fell in love with our hosts and they with him.

Crew Knowledge:
We felt completely at ease with both crew members. It was readily apparent they knew what they were doing.

Quality of Service:
Considering there were 10 guests and just two crew members, the service was outstanding. Jenn and Bree worked tirelessly to insure we never lacked for anything. They were unfailingly pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful.

The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenn was an excellent captain and Bree an outstanding chef. Our meals were marvelous and varied. Bree went out of her way, over and above trying to please our Graham (12) who is the pickiest eater I could ever imagine. Graham was a recalcitrant eater throughout the trip but Bree never stopped trying and was always pleasant about it. She even gave Graham a two minute briefing on why he should eat fruits and vegetables. I do not think it sunk in to Graham but I was enthralled. I decided that minute to continue eating fruits and veggies when I returned home.

Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter:
For this “once in a lifetime” celebration, we accepted the financial expense involved: charter, gratuity, trip insurance, taxis to and from the Marina plus flights for three. It was a significant investment but one which made us both quite happy.

On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding!!!! Bree served so many delicious and varied meals (and oh, so much food) that our eyes popped – shortly before our stomachs! Everything was delicious.

Destination / Location:
We enjoyed the many locations we visited on St. Thomas and St. John though we surely missed revisiting our favorite BVI destinations. Having sailed the USVI the last two times, I would now be reluctant to charter again before the BVI reopens for business.

Water-Sports:
Barefeet Retreat had a large mat it put out behind the boat which the kids loved. Jenn took them tubing on two occasions and they snorkeled throughout the trip. The noodles were most welcomed by the adults. Shaun and Hayden also used the paddleboard on a couple of occasions. Mary even rode the tube once.

Overall Satisfaction:
High, high, high. We loved Jenn and Bree. The catamaran was roomy enough for 10 and I can vouch for the ample size of our shower. Everything on board was quite comfortable.
