Modern 50ft Lagoon. DELANA MAE is a 2020 Lagoon sailing catamaran at 50 feet, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 cabins. Big platform, big beam, fewer “sorry, can you move your legs” moments.
Outdoor living wins. A shaded cockpit with drop-down shades and a large bimini keeps the main hangout usable all day, with teak decking and a proper setup for meals. Sun pads aft of the helm, plus sunken foredeck seating. Easy decision-making.
Serious water time. You have a swim platform and outdoor shower for quick resets between swims, plus snorkeling gear and underwater camera/video for proof. The headline toy is SNUBA from the dinghy down to 35 feet, for guests who want “dive-ish” without committing to full scuba.
Cabins that make sense. Three queen cabins have en-suite bathrooms, while the fourth is a double midship cabin that shares with the forward queen. Best for families or a group that is fine with one shared bathroom arrangement.

RJ and Jenna could not have been more hospitable!! They were so gracious to all of us and made sure we were all individually having a great time.
2. Crew Knowledge:
Jenna really knows her stuff in the kitchen for different dietary preferences, and did a great job making delicious and healthy food for all of us. Her plating and tablescapes were creative and inviting. RJ knows so much about the industry, the area, the boat, the technology...we really enjoyed our talks while underway, and how he pointed out interesting stuff we would have otherwise missed. We learned alot, and not just about Pirates' DIce.
3. Quality of Service:
Top Notch. Everything we asked for, we got, including a swim with a turtle!
4. The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenna and RJ were very professional in what they handled, they worked well together, and they did it in an approachable manner. They are a stellar team.
5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:
We really appreciate everyone handling the change from the original charter to the Delana Mae.
6. On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding
7. Destination / Location:
USVI are beautiful, and getting to see them from a catamaran makes them more so.
8. Water-Sports:
Great toys to use, especially the Hangout. It was used quite a bit.
9. Overall Satisfaction:
This vacation will be difficult to top. May have to repeat.
10. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?
RJ is a champ when it came to photos and videos with his GoPro and the drone. He created a library for us to share our photos, and having those to look back on will always put smiles on our faces. It is difficult to pick just one. In general - how attentive and fun RJ and Jenna were. RJ and Jenna know all the fun things to do! We loved having pizza delivery via dinghy and a great highlight was probably our lunch at Lime Out. Such a unique experience!
Thank you for helping us create lasting memories. The food, great conversations and views will forever be in our hearts. Spending 7 days with you guys was awesome. We can on strangers but left as friends. Love the Bells, Steven, Randi, Grant & Sophie.
Thank you guys for the best week ever! The food, the sights, the wedding, the people watching and amazing memories over all. Looking forward to showing you guys how we "rum wid it" in New Jersey!
