Represented by DMA Yachting, the impressive charter yacht PLAYTIME is a 56 ft sailing catamaran. PLAYTIME spends the summer and winter season in British Virgin Islands. She was constructed by the renowned boatbuilder Lagoon in 2014. The ingenious yacht layout features 4 generous cabins and easily accommodates a maximum of 8 guests.
PLAYTIME is classified primarily as a sailing catamaran. The yacht layout radiates from the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is generous, with a prominent dining and seating area and that's where most of the meals are served. The fascinating cabins are located in the 2 massive hulls. The cabins are located below the main saloon, connected by stairs (inquire about handicapped access). Multiple portholes add to the feeling of connection with the discovered environment.

Crew Information
Captain: Travis Pirzenthal
With many years in the yachting industry, Travis has spent the last four captaining luxury charter catamarans throughout the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, where his guests know him for his calm leadership, good humor, and steady hand on the helm. A true problem-solver, he has a knack for fixing just about anything on board, ensuring smooth sailing and peace of mind for both guests and crew. As a qualified dive instructor, Travis brings an added dimension to charter experiences, guiding guests safely into the underwater world, and in his time ashore he owns and runs a dive school in South Africa, passing his passion for the ocean on to new divers. His love of the sea is matched by his love of sport and the outdoors, and his adventurous spirit shines through whether he’s navigating a tricky anchorage, leading a dive, or joining guests for a laugh and a story during a long sail. Warm, approachable, and endlessly capable, Travis creates an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, safe, and ready to enjoy every moment on the water.
Peta has been sailing and cooking in the Virgin Islands for over a year and a half, and she loves nothing more than sharing her passions with guests onboard. In the galley, she creates fresh, flavorful meals tailored to each group — from vibrant island dishes to comforting favorites — always with a little extra flair. When she’s not cooking, you’ll find her working alongside the captain as first mate: sailing, snorkeling, and making sure every detail of your trip runs smoothly. She’s known for her warm personality, love of good food, and ability to make everyone feel at home the moment they step aboard. Whether she’s whipping up a homemade dessert, teaching paddleboard basics, or dancing along to island tunes, Peta brings joy and care into everything she does.

Reviews
we have been talking about doing this trip for years. We never doubted it would be fun, but I don't think we could have imagined it would be as incredible as it was. Thank you for your attention to detail, and the amazing food and company. You made this trip exceed our wildest expectations. We'll never forget. Best Boat!
-Travis and Jessica
Katie and Eben,
there are not enough great words to express the feelings and appreciation I have for all you have done for us. Everyday started and ended with an emotional reflection of how lucky I am to be on this boat. Blessed to have had you both in our lives to start 2025. The key to my heart has always been through my stomach.
Katie you exceeded any food experience I have ever had. Your attention to detail is something I will always remember.
Eben it was an honor to watch you operate with such precision. To be able to let my guard down knowing you have everything under control was very relaxing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you for every moment you gave to me and my family and friends.
-Ryon
Katie and Eben,

Thank you again for everything

Katie and Eben,
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience you provided. From the moment we boarded the yacht it was clear that we were in expert hands, and every part of the journey exceeded our expectations!!
The meals Katie prepared were nothing short of spectacular. It's clear that you have a true passion for cooking and each meal was a delicious treat that added to the overall enjoyment of the trip.
Thank you for your warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail. This trip was truly unforgettable thanks to your hard work and dedication.
-Tom
Words can't express how wonderful and magical this week has been. Thank you for everything you have done! Your attention to detail is beyond compare. You are incredible at your passions.
Katie,
your personality and contagious smile, along with the most amazing dishes I've personally ever had, made all of us have the opportunity to share friendships arounds the table.
Eben,
thank you for the history lessons! You are #1 at what you do. Thank you isn't enough. You made Jeff's 60th birthday over the top special!
Sincerely,
Kim and Jeff
Katie and Eben,

Another great week on BlueWinds with Katie and Eben! The food, fun and friendship were amazing... again! Can't wait for Round 3!
-David and Lucy
What a wonderful experience with Eben and Katie on BlueWinds!! Great to see the BVI the way it's meant to be seen. Food was an experience of a lifetime.
-Lisa and Scott
Incredible, Epic, and Unforgettable!
What a week! Thank you both for all you did. Katie you really are a talented and creative chef. Your meals are Michelin star quality in our opinion. The daily bread and "table" bacon were delicious :).
Eben, you are such a knowledgable and professional captain and guide. We know you were probably meant to be a pirate. You picked the perfect spots to anchor, and the snorkeling and diving sites were fantastic. The sailing was relaxing, fun, and safe. We have so many memories- NYE, drinking song, the rainy boat ride to Saba Island and dancing their soaking wet, you being our designated driver in Anegada, the ring toss, late night games, fireball punishment for Colby and Chase, fishing, eating all the fruit and everything in between. We treasure it all. Thanks for treating us so well this week.
Come visit us in Nashville.
-The Tissot Family
Thank you so much for an amazing week- the delicious meals, the flexibility with agenda given the surprise weather. The drinks, the games you organized- all made this an unforgettable week!! We can't thank you enough for taking such great care of us and helping us to celebrate birthdays and a chance to spend a week away together. Every meal was PERFECT and far exceeded expectations. Every request accommodated. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We would absolutely repeat this week with you guys and we wish you the best of lucking all your future charter adventures!

Best trip ever! Not sure what I loved the most- the food, the fun, the sun,the chill. Everything exceeded expectations. Great dives too. It's a repeat for sure.

Katie and Eben,
Shelly and I entered the week with grand expectations, but somehow the experience far exceeded anything we had in mind. Your role in that was central and we cannot thank you enough. I will always treasure the memory of my PADI certification with Eben. And we all will struggle in the absence of Katie's great meal preparation. But more generally and more importantly, your collective efforts, style and substance provided a platform for all of us to share a truly memorable week together. All the best to you both, and here's to hoping our paths cross again soon!

Katie and Eben,
What an amazing week we have had... largely due to you both. From our "we are the champions" Captains to our award winning, Left, Right, Center, Chef we were spoilt all week. This was a great experience, can't wait to have you come visit us in Oklahoma! cheers to you both.

Katie and Eben, (mum and dad)
This week has been a dream come true. We didn't really know what to expect, but everything has been perfection. I know we are a lot but you have managed us perfectly. The food, drinks and general hospitality are better than I could have possibly imagined. Thank you for hosting a trip that we will remember fondly always. We hope to see you again soon.
Love Jacqulyn
WOW- what a fantastic week this has been! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, food, service and patients. You are true professionals and we are grateful to be on your boat.
Good bless you and your life together.
sincerely
Tim
Thank you for the most amazing trip. From laid back boat days to Soggy Dollar, we loved it ALL. We especially appreciate getting Jack scuba certified, teaching us a new card game( we will be playing all the time), and introducing us to duck! (we loved it!) Also, the amazing food! Thank you so much for showing us the beautiful BVIs and convincing Henry to take a Tequila shot!!! Can't wait for our next trip with y'all!
cheers

Dear Eben and Katie,
Thank you so much for an amazing time! I loved every minute of the trip, from the knockout food to all the dives and other activities. This has been and unforgettable christmas, I wouldn't have rather spent it anyother way.
Thanks again
Nic
To the incredible team that made a memorable vacation absolutely magical. Katie and Eben you were such lovely host and made us feel right at home on Bluewinds- one castle on the sea. The sailing, snorkeling, diving and playing exceeded out expectations, AND THE FOOD- Katie you are extraordinary in such a small kitchen. WOW!
Thank you for showing us all what sailing it the BVI should be. The bar is now set very high and I almost pity the next crew faced to sail with our family.
We wish you all the best on your adventures together and we hope you will both keep in touch and visit if you land in Texas.
thanks

Dear Captain Paul and Ashley,
Wayne and I want to thank you for a wonderful adventure / vacation. It was absolutely amazing! The memories we have will last a lifetime.
Captain Paul, all the places you took us starting with the first night in Red Hook to the last night at Lavango everything were amazing. The hike up to Rams Head and jumping off the front of the boat were two of my highlights. Wayne thought snorkeling through the coral reefs was his favorite. Everything we did was fun and memorable.
Ashley, all I can say is ... WOW! Every meal you prepared was wonderful. The flavors and presentation were five-star worthy. Trying all your delicious seafood dishes was a real treat for me. Now to find a chef as talented as you – you have a real gift.
We hope to be able to sail with each of you again. Hopefully BVI will open back up and we can have another wonderful adventure on Playtime or whatever may be your next boat. Keep us aware of any new developments.
Wayne and Lynn
Thanks again
-Diana
Thank you for a wonderful week! The snorkeling, walk up Rams Head, and the sporty sail from St Croix were great experiences. Gene and I love sailing the USVI and BVI and look forward to being back.
Love Cathy and Gene
Pashley,
Thank you two for a trip of a lifetime. From the day we arrived to our last meal it was magical. The food, the snorkels, the sunsets, the "Paul" moments were very special. Our best to you in your future endeavors.
-M&M
An amazing trip had by all-from private beach walks, to scuba trips in the most amazing places, to sailing, and the most fabulous food, drinks, and service. This trip was once in a lifetime!
Our crew was more than awesome and became family! We cannot possibly thank you enough for sharing this boat and this week with us. Here's to the most perfect start to a new year! We will be sailing with you again.
All our love
the Lewis Family
Thank you again,
Paul is clearly an expert captain and wanted to make this a special trip for us. His warm and friendly personality could not have been any more enjoyable. It was the perfect mix of activity vs. relaxation and Paul had planned awesome hikes, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc. The only thing that is keeping us from rebooking for next year is our children will be on different schedules and they all refuse to be the one that is left out. But, there is no doubt, we will be on another trip with Paul at some point in the future. Ramona was amazing as well — so accommodating, esp. with our picky eater and always anticipating when it was time for a snack or a beverage; the food was outstanding!
We found the Catamaran Playtime to be an able vessel which sailed handily and stably through calm and not so calm seas. There were ample accommodations for our party of 8; even the smaller staterooms we found to be cozy and comfortable and fitting for our needs. The highlights of Playtime would have to be the outdoor spaces: the exterior dining salon was a lively meeting place for meals or cocktails (although I would comment the table is rather small for a party of 8 and could be a bit wider, be more comfortable, and still fit the space). The fly bridge is quite spacious and we very much enjoyed the lounging area with the fabulous views; whether anchored in a lovely cove or sailing across the open water it was a favorite spot for us all (and if someone is comparing boats not a standard feature). We also loved the forward area both the comfortable mosh pit and the adjacent trampolines for sunning or star gazing and for sailing in somewhat calmer waters. Playtime served our needs remarkably well.
But the make or break feature of a catamaran tour of the USVI's would have to be the crew. In this respect we were amazingly well served.
To say that Captain Paul is well suited for this job is remarkable understatement. He is one part naval captain, one part extraordinary tour guide (I would reference Rick Steves on " " but I cannot think of any injectable substance that could make me compare Rick Steves to Captain Paul), and one part Peter Pan always ready to guide his companions with extraordinary youthful energy. He is seemingly "always on," fun loving and witty; he seems to be ever planning how to improve the experience for all involved. He asked our permission to allow him to adjust the itinerary so as to flow with the experiences presented. For instance, we approached St John, he found a usually crowded seascape to completely unencumbered, and we spent the first afternoon and evening there swimming, beaching in remarkable isolation. He continued to adjust the itinerary throughout, going with the flow and always for our advantage. He led a hike to historic ruin with a remarkable vistas, led snorkeling adventures among the beautiful reefs, engaged in spirited bocci games, and made an extemporaneous swim up bar serving as bartender on his paddle board on the most amazing of beaches (Buck Island, my newfound favorite beach). In short he was an incomparable tour guide and host who afforded us an extraordinary experience of much that St John and St Croix have to offer. And I would be remiss not to add in a prior career life Captain Paul was a fashion photographer; not only did he create our island memories, but he captured them in remarkable photographic memories.
The yen to Captain Paul's yang would be Chef Tyler. Tyler is highly affable, laid back but engaging, and an excellent chef who fed us remarkably well. Breakfast included lobster frittata, a pair of breakfast pastries (one sweet one savory), a spinach omelet with side of bacon; each breakfast was served with a platter of lovely, local fresh fruit and French pressed coffee. Lunches were generally on the lighter side as requested and included a lovely seared tuna over quinoa salad with ginger dressing, a fabulous pan fried swordfish taco, a flank steak over mixed greens salad, amongst others all delicious. There was generally an appetizer served during cocktail hour and/ or sunset sail again all very successful: delicious small sausage stuffed peppers, cheese and charcuterie board, spinach and artichoke pastries, Kobei beef sliders with deviled eggs (amazing!), and on each occasion either Tyler or Captain Paul would bring a well crafted cocktail or lovely glass of wine with a smile. Dinners were also excellent fare: pan seared scallops over squid ink pasta, perfectly cooked lamb lollipops over butternut squash puree, a lovely salmon with roasted potatoes. All meals were accompanied by nice wines (white burgundies, albarinos, malbecs, etc) and followed by a nice dessert.
The chef is not only obligated to cook many meals, but also to assist as first mate. As Tyler had been prior Captain as a team with his wife, (he was pinch hitting at the last minute to our good fortune) he was always ready to man the anchor or jump in to pick us up at the beach on the dingy. Tyler has ready knowledge of the island wildlife and environmental issues and is an excellent teacher. The ready collegiality between Paul and Tyler was remarkable; it seemed they had been a team for years even though they had just met. As a team they made our experience near perfect.
We are all grateful for the extraordinary experience we were afforded. We were very Covid weary (our group included 3 health care providers, 2 pilots who are also high risk for exposure, and spouses/ partners who share our risk as well). The USVI tour on Playtime was a much meditative relief and recharge for us all.
Thank you Paul and Tyler for your amazing hospitality and our extraordinary experience!
