Wonderful Experience!
Wonderful experience! AJ was brilliant in his captaining, planning, and guidance throughout our time. We saw so many incredible nooks and crannies of the islands we would never have otherwise, and he recommended some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever seen. Loved his evening cocktails as well!
Jess’ cooking was Michelin worthy, and went as far as to set a lovely table and candle for each meal. Blew us all away. Both her and AJ were also wonderful people, wouldn’t have wanted to spend our time with anyone else.

Incredibly Memorable
This trip was incredibly memorable thanks to AJ and Jess. We were in expert hands as AJ guided us thru the BVI’s and made sure we experienced an amazing itinerary custom planned based on our preferences. Everything from the actual time underway, whether sailing or motor, and then activities at each destination, was perfect and well executed. We were a group of 8, including 6 young adults, so there were all different wants and needs and AJ and Jess made sure everyone was happy. Jess’s culinary skills were top tier and we were so impressed everyday with the wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners she was able to whip up in the galley. . I don’t think I’ve ever had a better chocolate mousse or tiramisu. Her bright sunny disposition was a joy along w AJs happy and easygoing manner. Truly, a wonderful experience. The Felix was well appointed and accommodated our large crew. It was super clean, the showers were great and we all slept comfortably in cozy beds with AC. There were tons of water toys including rafts, paddle boards, wake boards and of course, snorkel equipment. I’m sure I’m forgetting something but there was so much we did in just 7 days. Best of all, AJ, Jess and the Felix helped us create everlasting extraordinary memories for our family

Incredible and Memorable Time
BIG THANKS to Capt. AJ Stephens, Chef Jessica Snell and the boat Felix. Our family had such an incredible and memorable time. AJ and Jess made the trip easy, relaxing, exciting, interesting, filling, fun and so much more. It all began before even arriving in the USVIs via a WhatsApp video call to meet the team, talk through preferences and nail down logistics. My wife and I traveled with our 6 kids (all in their 20s), and the entire week was perfect. AJ and Jess wanted everything to be perfect and kept asking how to improve things but I had nothing to say: they were already perfect. AJ was an amazing captain, with smooth sailing in windy weather but also became a great friend, joining us in activities and taking us to great snorkeling spots. Not to mention, AJ’s daily afternoon cocktails. 😊 Jess, as Chef, was simply amazing. The breakfasts, lunches and dinners were incredible, presented as if we were in a 5 star restaurant….I really don’t know how she did it in just a ship’s galley. And, beyond just cheffing, she was keeping a tight ship, always lending a hand, and as our newest friend, joining in festivities.
Again, BIG THANKS to AJ and Jess, and please come join us in the States.

Truly Unforgettable Experience
Being my third time chartering a cat through the BVI, Jess and AJ made this trip a truly unforgettable experience. Their unwavering commitment to make sure my entire party was comfortable, entertained, safe, and happy the entire trip was truly notable. The cabins were comfortable and the air conditioning was a great touch in the evenings!
AJ was incredibly patient and friendly with the entire family, showed us all of the best snorkel spots, had great restaurant suggestions, and was always excited to bring out the water toys for us.
My family was shocked that Jess was not working in a Michelin star restaurant. Every meal we had on the boat was carefully crafted to our preferences and made completely from scratch. Chartering a boat through the BVI with this operation is a great vacation.
With that said, AJ and Jess made it the trip of a lifetime!! Would highly recommend them to all!!!

Exceptional Hosts
This catamaran cruise was a dream of my wife for several years. She wanted to take the family to a beautiful place so she worked hard and made it happen.
Upon boarding, the Felix and hearing Captain AJ’s safety speech, as a Coast Guard veteran, I was sure of his total commitment to our well-being.
Both AJ and Chili Were exceptional hosts and Catered to our every need.. The tours that were arranged, checked all the boxes, and the weather for sailing was top-notch. Chilly’s gourmet cooking & AJ’s grilling technique made for delicious incredible meals.
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Lots Of Laughs & Most Relaxing Trip Of Our Lives
Just returned from the BVI. We were on board the Felix with Chilly and AJ. The boat had everything we needed and more. AJ took us to the most beautiful places on earth. Incredible snorkeling and views. Everything was planed and we did not have to think of anything that he had already not thought of. He prepared a signature cocktail every night at 5:00. They were truly better than any of the drinks at the local bars. We even got to name one of his drinks! He can tell you that story🤪.
Chilly kept us fed and she is the most amazing chef in the Caribbean! This was honestly the best food I have ever had in my life. Each day we were excited wondering what she was going to cook for us that day.
AJ and Chilly kept us safe and were always making sure we were getting the most out of our trip. We all had a lot of laughs and had the most relaxing trip of our lives. I would definitely do it again.

Thank You For The Best Vacation!
We took our 8 person family on my bucket list vacation…1 week catamaran cruise thru the BVI. Ages 23 to 83. The trip was everything I hoped and more! We charted the Felix with captain, AJ And Chilly as the gourmet cook. My group is crazy about swimming and snorkeling. AJ took us to beautiful beaches, coves, and snorkeling Paradise. Every day was a new adventure. He provided us with all gear. And even handheld propellers, which were a blast. We also had a paddle board, Floating pad And noodles for relaxation in the water. We visited the virgin baths (gorgeous), Soggy Dollar, Willie T’s & Other fun Spots.Chilly’s meals were a gastronomical adventure in itself. She Cooked breakfast lunch and dinner most every day. All fresh ingredients… Even dessert was made from scratch such as crème brûlée, Keylime pie and tiramisu. A Michelin trained chef could not have been any better. We chose to eat two evening meals and two lunches on shore. AJ arranged our Transportation on islands we visited. He also served us cocktails at 5 o’clock every day, Using his own recipes. His own version of painkillers and margaritas was top-notch. I have nothing negative to say about this trip. It was a dream of a lifetime and I am so thankful to AJ and Chilly to be a big part of it!
Thank you for the best vacation I’ve ever been on in my life. Exceeded all expectations! Hope to see you both again.

More Than I Could Have Imagined.
Our journey on the Felix Catamaran through the BVI with Captain AJ and Chef Chilly was more than I could have ever imagined. Multiple daily stops offered activities for all ages with snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, or just floating in the turquoise waters. Captain AJ was well aware of the great spots to provide history, great drinks, and fun land adventures.
Several locations allowed our group to try local cuisine. Opportunities to support the local communities who are often hit hard during hurricane season was rewarding. From the taxi services around the islands to a lobster dinner, the friendliness of the people was great.
I can’t even begin to talk about the food served onboard. It was FANTASTIC! Chef Chilly work around the clock to make sure our taste buds exploded with flavor! She has a real talent!
Would I recommend Captain AJ, Chef Chilly? Yes!!! It will be hard to beat the friendly service we were provided!
Thank you again AJ and Chilly for making this a trip of a lifetime of us.

They Set The Bar High
We just returned from an amazing trip on the Felix in the BVI. I have done this trip before, so I thought I knew what to expect. But Captain AJ and Chef Chilly far exceeded our expectations, and my previous experience.
AJ was very accommodating, no matter how many times we changed our minds about what we wanted to do for the day. He found us amazing snorkeling and dive sites, restaurants and bars, and his quick wit and sense of humor kept us entertained.
Chilly worked so hard preparing us the most amazing meals. She has a real talent, and pairs flavors I would never think to pair, and the results were so good. And not only did her meals taste good, but they were beautifully presented. A real work of art!
AJ and Chilly set the bar high, and I hope we can find them again to share our next sailing adventure.

Blown Away
Going into the charter there was a certain mystery for me as to what to expect. To say the least those expectations were completely blown away by Captain A.J. and Chili.
Captain A.J. is a knowledgeable and considerate Captain ensuring we had the best the islands have to offer and tailoring the activities and agenda to meet and exceed our expectations. He was always willing to offer a great suggestion and consider our opinions as well ensuring a most spectacular week in the BVI. He can also whip up some amazing pre dinner cocktails.
Chef Chili started the week off with an absolutely amazing meal. And just when you thought it couldn’t be topped. She would continue to create incredibly delicious meal after meal. I would give her 4 Michelin stars!!! Every meal was an event full of anticipation that far exceeded expectations. Delizioso!
Thank you both for a week that will be forever cherished for its experiences and memories that were made.

Out Of This World
I would give AJ & Chili 10+ stars if I could!!!
This vacation far exceeded my expectations, and AJ & Chili were a huge part of that!
They were both consummate professionals, always striving to make sure that were we getting the experience we wanted & willing to accommodate any request. They’re a wealth of knowledge about the BVI, the best snorkeling spots, bars, restaurants, and just fun to hang out with! Chili’s cooking is out
of this world (creativity, flavors & presentation) & AJ makes a mean pre-dinner drink! We didn’t want to eat out & miss one of AJ’s drinks or Chili’s meals.
Our group had an amazing vacation with a fabulous crew & we can’t wait to do it again!!

5 Star Experience!
A perfect choice for our group of 8. It was an amazing vacation that exceeded our expectations!!
Captain AJ & Chef Chilly were beyond excellent.
They are a great team and it was obvious by the teamwork they demonstrated throughout our entire vacation, while making it a pleasant and fun time.
AJ’s attention to detail and safety made our experience perfect. From the moment we met him, we immediately settled in and felt at home on the Felix. It certainly was evident that AJ was a talented and experienced Captain that took care of everyone’s requests!!! He insured our safety while doing activities in the water and when sailing.
Chilly's culinary talent was exceptional and she made our meal experience beyond our expectations. She cooked up exceptional meals and catered to everyone’s needs for dining. From the very first bite to the last, Chilly provided us with the ultimate experience everyday, with every meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all exquisite!!! It is also worth noting that AJ can whip up some amazing, tasty cocktails
We can’t thank AJ & Chilly enough for an experience of a lifetime for our first trip sailing the BVI aboard a catamaran. I hope to return one day and I would book the Felix to experience AJ & Chilly’s 5 Star experience!!

FELIX... a vacation to write home about.
AJ and Chilly were the ultimate hosts. Our group of 8 felt like family for the entire week. We felt like we were on an adventure every day. AJ made sure everyone was safe and informed. Chilly prepared meals worthy of 5 star dining....
As the primary charterer, it can be a nervous time prior to the vacation....with this crew you don't have to worry! We all loved spending time with AJ and Chilly...they are kind, funny and engaging. Today is our first day off the catamaran and we are reminiscing about every fun moment - there were so many!

By Far The Best We Have Experienced
Our group just completed a week long charter into the BVI with Capt AJ and Chef Chilly. I've been on 5 previous charters, 4 in the BVI and 1 in Belize.
The beauty of the islands and sailing are the main attraction but this trip was by far the best we've experienced.
The big difference was the professionalism and service by our crew. AJ kept us informed and executed our wish list of things to do during the week. He kept us busy and relaxed at the same time.
The first meal out of the galley was dinner on day one. I would of been happy with a burger but Chilly served us a Mahi delicacy you only see in fancy restaurant's menu covers! Breakfast and lunch were no different, she would spend hours on each meal. I've never seen anything like it.
The beer was always cold and AJ's nightly cocktails capped off a great day. They say boats shrink a foot a day when on vacation but ours got bigger!
Thank you AJ and Chilly!!

Highly Recommend This Crew
Amazing vacation! Exceeded expectations. AJ our captain was willing to take us everywhere we wanted to go. He was able to quickly learn what everyone wanted and recommend some unexpected and incredible places. We were a busy group, some of us wanted to be in the water and others on the boat which was quite a challenge.
Chilly cooked up some exceptional meals. Everyone tried new flavors and dishes that they wouldn't normally eat. Clean plates all around with no room for desert but we managed.
I truly feel like both of them were able to get to know us all and adjust to make the vacation the best ever.
I highly recommend this crew!

Captain A.J. was so knowledgeable about the area and kept a close eye on all of us. We felt so safe.

We Hit the Jackpot With This Crew
We had such a wonderful vacation and I feel like we hit the jackpot with our crew!
Aj and Chilly worked to meet every expectation. He made certain that we had the adventure we were looking for and rolled effortlessly into a backup plan when needed (to make sure we were safe) making every day the best, while she went beyond expectations with every meal putting extra effort to create healthy and delicious meals from scratch, while keeping the ship in perfect order.
We were also very happy with the layout of the boat. It allowed our group of 8 to be together comfortably for dinner and conversation as well as together on the top deck while sailing. Thank you Aj and Chilly, you were great!!!!

Epic Trip
I sailed with friends on a catamaran two years ago and thought it couldn’t get any better….but it absolutely did.
Captain A.J. and Chilly of the catamaran Felix create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. They intertwine visitor preferences for relaxation, scuba, snorkeling, must-see sites, and local bars/restaurants in a way that keeps each day fresh and new yet not overwhelming.
Chilly’s meals were superb, creative, and used fresh ingredients that catered to client preferences.
A.J’s wit and charm made every day fun. I commend them for making this trip epic and recommend them and the Felix for anyone desiring a positive and memorable experience.

Our week on Felix was absolutely wonderful. AJ, our captain, and Chili were great.
They accommodated great snorkeling, cruising, restaurant recommendations and lovely coves for our nights.
Chili’s meals were all 5 star restaurant quality. Truly amazing from breakfast through dinner. AJ also helped with the cooking and service. I would not have dreamed the appetizers, meals and deserts could have come out of a boat kitchen.

Highly Recommend!
Along with three other couples, my wife and I sailed the British Virgin
Islands on the Felix, for a week in January.
Captain AJ and his first mate Cecelia were fantastic hosts. Each day, Cecilia prepared and served our entire party, fantastic, sit down gourmet meals. AJ put together a series of phenomenal late afternoon signature cocktail hours. The homemade food was always fresh, the presentations fun, the portions generous, and the taste comparable to any five star restaurant. Homemade cinnamon rolls, handmade gnocchi, fresh seafood, etc.
AJ and Cecelia worked seamlessly to provide a safe, interactive, and an overall terrific experience. Our accommodations were clean and very comfortable. 95 percent of our awake hours were spent on deck. No matter, the direction of boat travel, breezy shaded areas were always accessible. The boat was large enough so that you never felt cramped or confined.
We visited several beaches, historic sites, wildlife viewing areas, and snorkeling venues. A terrific and beautiful experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. I highly recommend the Felix, Captains AJ and Cecelia.

Broker Review
Dec 2024 • Family
We had an amazing experience from start to finish on a crewed yacht charter over Christmas. We worked with our broker for find a charter that worked for our schedule, needs and preferences. This was our first charter and our broker was great at explaining the process and making everything super easy! We ended up on the boat Felix with captain AJ and chef Chili. The boat was great but the crew is what really made the experience amazing! This was hands down the most relaxing vacation I have ever taken. AJ did a great job creating an itinerary that took us to amazing sites and met all our needs. I could not have asked for a better week. On top of all of this, the food was outstanding! Chili pulled off a miracle making just the most delicious fresh meals. She delivered on special meals for birthdays with homemade chocolate cake, fresh cinnamon rolls for Christmas and a steak dinner that was better than any steakhouse. It was truly and unforgettable experience.

Amazing week of sailing in this wonderful area. Each of the overnight stays offered something different and were each special in their own way. Our crew of AJ, and Chilli were the icing on the cake. The briefing every morning gave us all the info for the day and suggestions for lunch/swimming spots on the way. AJ, our captain, has excellent knowledge of the local area and also helped with any sailing questions we had. Chilli was our social organizer, she organized everything down to the last detail! She knows everything about every place we stopped at and the best places to eat, moor and drink! It was our first trip in many years, but having had such a great experience we will be back very soon!

What A Week!
What a week! We were all very excited and very anxious about our first sailing vacation in nearly 20 years in equal measure. it didn't disappoint, in fact I think I'm speaking for all the family to say we were really taken by the beauty, it's people, places and atmosphere. We were provided a very comfortable, well appointed and maintained yacht that worked ideally for us; lots of space and sailed really easily for us rusty sailors. The vacation would not have been the same without our crew, they were amazing. From the energy, diligence, constantly smiling and nothing is too much trouble attitude from Chilly as host; to AJ the unflappable captain who gave us all the confidence to drop the anxiety and enjoy the sailing. The team striking the right balance of making it safe and fun, social and organized; yet giving everyone all the space they needed to enjoy the vacation with their own family, never in your faces, but always on hand at any time to help out when needed. Nothing ever feeling like it was a burden or a hassle. Any guest getting lead crew will be very lucky indeed.

What an amazing week sailing. Everything was thoroughly thought through making our first experience effortless. the cruising area is stunning and the people and food wonderful. In particular our crew of AJ and Chilly brought tremendous energy, fun and reassurance creating a really special environment for everyone.

What a fantastic vacation! The whole family enjoyed it immensely and can’t wait for our next trip. AJ and Chilly couldn’t have been better, managing the flotilla, weather, restaurant bookings and everything else seemingly effortlessly but with obvious care and great thoughtfulness. They worked excellently as a team, turning their hand to anything - nothing was too big or too small for them to help out with. They were great with the kids and made the whole experience fun for everyone. Thank you !

Thank you for sharing your passion with us and treating us like friends. The time spent on the water watching the beautiful islands pass and listening to the water was amazing.
Chirs, your culinary delights were beyond phenomenal.
Kayla, your ability to find the "right" spot was perfect and the wet dinghy ride was memorable to say the least!
The islands are gorgeous and we truly appreciate the time you took to take us around and explore with us!
Until we cross paths again and jump off Willy T's together.

Fantastic Trip!
Thank you for such a fantastic trip! And for everything you did for Lincoln. We weren't sure what to expect bringing a 3 year old on this trip and you both made it so easy.
Couldn't ask for a better captain, chef, dinghy boy, sights, food, cocktails and amazing desserts - yum.

Broker Review
How did you find your crew? Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating?
The crew was wonderful. Kayla and Chris fitted in with our family perfectly and made us feel comfortable and at home aboard Felix. Their humor and knowledge were both greatly appreciated!
Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your
favorite aspect of the yacht?
The yacht was very comfortable and clean. It had all of the accommodations we needed, nothing was missing. Personally I enjoyed the various different viewpoints to sit or lounge at while we went from island to island.
Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the
menu to your preferences?
The food was fantastic; Chris truly spoiled us! I personally have a challenging diet with several allergies and he made sure every meal felt complete vs feeling like an, “allergy friendly,” meal. And it was all delicious!
Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed?
1000%. Every day of the charter my love for the Virgin Islands grew.
Were you happy with your broker's service? How can we improve?
Very happy.
Can we share your feedback with the yacht/crew?
Absolutely! We miss them already!

Thank You For Everything!!!
The most fabulous surprise this week was the cooking. The variety and ingenious recipes- all of them health foods, blew my mind. It's the first time ever I really enjoyed health conscious cooking. There were meals- your baked eggs, my favorite - that were shockingly tasty. Thank you for everything. You adapted to our dietary choices. One pescatarian, dairy free, gluten free, and spice intolerance. And like magic came up with recipes that were both gorgeous and delicious, filling and healthy. You did it with love and enthusiasm-including the menu board done with calligraphy. And the boat was so comfy.
Zack our captain always with a good plan and smooth ride with a happy and kind demeanor. You were so thoughtful in your explanations and feedback was so positive and thoughtful.Way beyond your years. Wish every man was as good to his lady and other women as you. The world would be a better place. Your humor was always kind and silly fun. And the dives were wonderful.
Bottom line, I'd love to adopt you. Be proud of you for your resourceful, mindful energy- it's beautiful. Thank you so much for a week of restoration in this stressful time. So good to find. Don't lose your mojo - its precious. Call me when you hit SoCal.

Wow-oh-wow Zack, you are a great captain and what a tremendous week we have had here in the virgin islands.
You rocked out so many fun activities for us:
Scuba diving
The octopus shipwreck
Penetrating the steel structure and exploring the engine room!!!
Jane loved watching Felix (son) wakeboard with RIzzo as your copilot in the tender from the stand up paddle board in the beautiful bay off Virgin Gorda. (our favorite island)
Greg and Jane watched you sail or motor almost every moment of the adventure and sure appreciated the knowledge bestowed from the helm!
and.... Sweet Southern Taylor! How we enjoyed your delicious, culinary offerings! Especially the fabulous nightly sweet treats!
You were a vital member of our rowdy night out at Willy T's' from the shotski to the dance floor...and don't forget about the belly laughing over the pirates creed.
As much as Jane loved swimming and being beachy with Rizzo, he so enjoyed arting and gaming in the kitchen with you that we adults ( plus teenager) had some special moments away from big parenting responsibility,
Thanks so much for that amazing space to relax and unwind.
Can't wait to connect again on the great mother's waters.

A Key Lime Pie to die for, thanks for such a memorable trip!
What an amazing adventure! Zack and Taylor were great hosts. We sailed and stopped at so many great locations, so it's hard to pick a favorite. I think Christmas Cove was my favorite snorkeling spot. Saw amazing coral, fish, rays, and starfish! Zack was always accommodating or making sure we went to locations that met our devices. Chef Taylor - Wow! The food was incredible! I'm sure the scales will confirm that I enjoyed everything Taylor prepared for us. I'm having a hard time coming up with a favorite entree but dessert...hands down for me was the Key Lime pie. Taylor uses many unique and delicious flavors to enhance everything she cooks. The presentations are pure art work. It was fun to see Taylor and Zack working as a team in the kitchen. Thanks for a memorable vacation.

This charter has been a long time (30 plus years) dream of ours!
We had an amazing time on the Felix with Zack and Taylor. This has been a long time (30 plus years) dream of ours. It exceeded our expectations. Zack is a knowledgeable captain. We felt safe at all times. He was full of information about the islands and always took us someplace interesting and fun. We especially enjoyed snorkeling at Monkey Point and Christmas Cove. Visiting the Baths was an especially nice trip. Zack also is a great scuba instructor. Doing a refresher course and dive was great. So the only thing bad I can say about Taylor's cooking was that my clothes are so tight as I prepare to leave! Steak and lobster were so good. As was the korean kabobs and Key Lime pie (BEST EVER!) The Felix is a great boat. Comfortable and well outfitted but Taylor and Zack made the trip! You became like family Visit Michigan some day!

Knowledgeable and Professional
Thank you Captain Zack and Chef Taylor for a wonderful week on Felix. We couldn't have asked for a better time! Both Zack and Taylor were friendly and enthusiastic about showing us all the BVI and USVI has to offer. Both are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and open to ideas and we always felt safe and comfortable. Besides knowing everything there is to know about marine life, Zack went above and beyond with taking our teenage crosscountry enthusiast son on trail runs and explored other islands. Taylor always made sure we were full and satisfied - her dishes were consistently tasty. Thank you Felix and crew, we hope to be back again soon!

Thank you very much for our time on the Felix. We could not have had a better time. Even with one night of rain you all made it a blast. We loved having Zack go out snorkeling in the water with us.

Great dives, great food, great conversation, and great fun. Thank you for making this a spectacular experience!

Exceeded Our Expectations
This trip has been a bucket list vacation for the last 10 years! With all the build up and daydreaming you would have thought we might end up 'romanticizing' it more than possible, not at all!
In every way, the trip exceeded expectations, gourmet cuisine, unlimited activity, the "spots"..., all while enjoying your gracious hospitality! You balanced rest with fun for all in a way that would elude most. Thank you for hosting memorable days and all of the Hard Work!! Your efforts have facilitated life long memories for all! We could have never imagined all that we would see, do and enjoy!
Your guests are lucky to get you! And...we were lucky to spend the week with you!
Fair winds and following seas!

An Adventurous Week
That was one hell of an adventurous week! Thank you for helping us be "life hogs". Although Nana lobbied hard to join you for the rest of the sailing season we are going to drag her off the boat to the flight. This vacation is in our "ALL TIMER" list of great vacations! Thanks for the fun, laughs, drinks, food, sailing, diving, snorkeling, and all around good times!

Dynamic Duo
Truly amazing! What a glorious time we all had and it was made especially awesome by you two - the ultimate dynamic duo! We felt so taken care of and loved by you guys - we've all agreed that we'll miss you two as much as the Virgin Islands! The experience has been utterly wonderful and we are most grateful for your generosity, kindness, expertise, hard work, and warm spirits.

There was never a time when you haven't been there for us, laughing with us, or helping us. You have been truly spectacular and lovely. You have made our experience really great. Whether it's providing a delicious meal, showing us the most amazing places, or leading us around the high seas.
