NEPTUNE’S ESCAPE Yacht Description
-
Underwater scooters:
Zip around reefs and coves with less effort, ideal for longer snorkel sessions. -
Tube - towable:
Easy, high-energy fun behind the tender for kids, teens, and playful adults. -
2 SUP's:
Paddle to quiet bays and beaches, or take a relaxed sunrise cruise together.
Fresh, fast, different. NEPTUNE'S ESCAPE is a 52-foot NEEL Trimarans build from 2024, sailing with the extra space and stability you expect from a multihull. Sleeps 8 in 4 cabins, so it fits a proper group without turning the salon into a sleeping annex.
Cabin plan with logic. You get two queen cabins (including a main-level master with an ensuite and dressing room), plus two double cabins set up with a shared Jack ’n Jill bathroom. Three bathrooms total. No guesswork.
Easy water days. Paddleboards (2), floating mats, snorkel gear, and sea scooters keep everyone busy without a schedule meeting. Add a towable tube and a kneeboard when the group wants something louder. Short version: bring sunscreen.
Comfort basics covered. Full air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a saloon TV, indoor audio, an outdoor shower for the post-swim rinse, and a BBQ for low-effort lunches that somehow take all afternoon.
Accommodation
This trimaran has 2 queen cabins (1 x center hull and 1 x master cabin) and 2 double cabins (2 x port side hull). Crew occupy the bunk room (center hull)The master cabin is on the main level and has an ensuite bathroom and dressing room which leads off the master cabin - down a couple of stairs to the left of the bed. The shower is separate from the vanity and toilet.
Two double cabins are in the port hull with a shared Jack 'n Jill bathroom. This is a wet head.
There is a queen cabin midships in the middle hull with a bathroom ensuite (guests can enter the bathroom from their cabin). This is a wet head.
The crew occupy the bunk room which is forward in the middle hull. The crew share the bathroom with the midships queen cabin and have their own door to the bathroom.

Set The Bar Very High
Our group was 8 friends (4 couples) in our 20s from Texas and Louisiana. We’re frequent travelers, but this was our first time ever sailing and being on a yacht, so we didn’t really know what to expect. We spent 1 week aboard Neptune’s Escape starting in Tortola and island hopping around the BVI, and the experience completely exceeded our expectations.
From the start, the entire trip felt fully tailored to our group’s desires. The proposed itinerary was amazing and could even be adjusted in real time, which we loved! With 8 people, everyone had different interests, and the crew truly tried their best to accommodate all of our preferences - and honestly, they did a great job. If I had one piece of advice for future guests, it would be to do a bit of research ahead of time to decide how much you want to be sailing and swimming versus being on land (restaurants, excursions, etc.). We mostly went with the flow, which worked out great, but knowing your ideal balance beforehand helps you get the most out of the experience.
What truly made this trip unforgettable was the crew!!! We were blown away by the attention to detail and genuine kindness of our chef, Nela, and our captain, Francois.
Nela catered to all of our, preferences, and dietary restrictions, and every single meal was homemade, high-quality, and absolutely delicious. She kept us well fed with a variety of international cuisine (I even tried a poke bowl for the first time!).
Francois was cheerful, patient, flexible, and attentive in every possible way. We learned so much from him about yachts, sailing, and the BVI, which made the experience even more meaningful.
Our experience with &Beyond Yacht Charters overall was fantastic, especially as first-timers who didn’t fully know what we were doing. The price for 8 felt reasonable, and Neptune’s Escape itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I honestly think this yacht would be great not just for groups like ours, but also for older travelers and families.
We would 100% book Neptune’s Escape again with the same crew in a heartbeat. This trip set the bar very high for future travel experiences and is something we’ll be talking about for years to come <3

Beyond Our Expectation
My recent experience on Neptune’s Escape with Francois and Nella was “& Beyond” all my expectations.
Francois has incredible sailing skills and knows the waters well. He has a wonderful kind demeanor that immediately puts you at ease.
Nela is a terrific chef that always goes the extra mile with seasonings and presentation. Every meal was a delight. She is a ray of sunshine!
They were both very professional, but at the same time, felt like part of the family.
I’d love to charter with them again.

Nela's Recent Guest Reviews
Nela! First of all, how you made the food in such a small kitchen I never understand. Your culinary skills should be on a TV show. As good as a chef you are, you were so kind and sweet and made me feel at home the whole week! I want you to cater at my wedding! We plan on coming back next year but only if we can charter with you. I can't say enough about Nela. Truly made the experience way better than. I could have expected!
*****************************
Nela, you made the entire trip worth every penny. I would not have enjoyed the week without you. Your food was to die for and you listened to everyone's needs and created such amazing dishes everyday and you got along well with us. You always looked out for us and were so caring and kind. If I am ever on a boat again I would 100% request to have you as our chef.
*******************************
I absolutely adore you Nela, you makes the most amazing food! And you made the whole experience feel like home. I wish i could have taken you home with me. You are an absolute gem and you really took our charter to the next level.
******************************
Nela, you are an absolute sweat heart. Amazing meals every morning and had great advice for everywhere we went. thank goodness we had her onboard. mazing food, great personality.

Best Trip Ever
Francois, the coolest captain in the BVI! Thank you for putting up with our annoying requests and being so much fun.
BEST TRIP EVER!
Eleanor, the best cook in the world. You made every meal look effortless and yet was some of the best tasting dishes I've ever had. Seriously I'm going home and learning how to cook.

Fantastic Crew and Beautiful Yacht
Our family recently finished our charter in the beautiful BVI on an amazing yacht and with a fantastic crew, Eleanor & Captain Francois!
The sleek, contemporary trimaran, Neptune’s Escape, matched the crew’s professionalism and taste. We loved the lines, layout, and space!
She was always beautiful to look at from the beach standing out amongst the other vessels.
From the start of the trip we felt a sense of relaxation and were at ease. Crew were flexible and had many ideas for us to enjoy our time in the islands. We always felt safe with Francois, as he kept a close eye on everything, even through the night. He is easy going and prompt to tender to explore islands on the dingy. He went out of his way to catch and release fish which my son and I really enjoyed!
Eleanor had a unique culinary surprise for us each day and would make sure we had everything we wanted. She was always kind to help find something our kids would like, and to try new things! A highlight for us was sitting down three times a day as family for a delicious meal. Eleanor made it easy for us to relax and enjoy each other’s company. She also would help with reservations and planning.
They both make a great team complementing each other’s roles, enjoying what they do. It was great visiting with them in the evening and hanging out with them on the islands. They really made the trip extra special. We look forward to sailing again with Francois and Eleanor in the future. Thank you for the amazing trip, memories, and hospitality!

Care and Attention From This Crew
Thank you for an incredible week exploring the British Virgin Islands! the trip was absolutely unforgettable, and we truly appreciate all the care and attention that went into making it so special.
A huge thanks to our captain Francois, whose expertise and knowledge of the islands made every moment seamless and exciting. He navigated us to the most stunning spots, each more breathtaking than the last. Another big thank you to Eleanor for your warmth, kindness, and constant dedication to ensuring we had everything we needed.
One of the highlights of the trip was the amazing meals Eleanor prepared for us three times a day. Those times together as a family were truly special - sharing delicious food while surrounded by the beauty of the islands. We created memories we will always treasure.
The memories we made this week - sailing the clear blue waters, exploring different islands, visiting hidden coves, and enjoying the culture of the BVI - wills tay with us for a lifetime.
Thank you again for an exceptional journey. We hope to sail with you again some day!

They Made Our Trip
They went above and beyond any expectations we had.
Adrian is like one of our best mates - but you can tell that at all times, even when we are laughing and joking - he never let's his guard down on safety.
Emma is a wonderful ray of sunshine, so funny and a blast to be around. Her cooking is 11/10. I was honestly shocked by not only the quality, but also the display of the food she cooked for us. Despite dealing with various dietary restrictions, she continuously prepared fresh and healthy meals.
Adrian and Emma gave us tons of good tips on what to do and see at all the different stops. I had a birthday during this week and they made that so special too.
They literally made our week and can't imagine booking a trip like this again without them.

Beyond fortunate.
Adrian is an incredible captain. He tows the line perfectly between great fun but being incredibly responsible which creates the perfect atmosphere.
From the first breakfast we were blown away by Emma's skills in the kitchen. The most beautiful dishes, cooked to perfection. Every single day!
We didn't have to worry about anything. They made sure we were always taken care of and comfortable.
We feel beyond fortunate to have had them as our crew.

Would Not have Been The Same Without Them
I cannot state highly enough how wonderful Adrian was throughout our week long vacation. Adrian is a true professional and incredibly skilled. The entire time we felt safe and were also able to learn a great deal from him. He is patient, kind, funny and above all else a truly wonderful person.
Emma was the best chef we could have asked for. Her food was incredible and she was so good at incorporating food for all the different allergies.
Our week would not have been the same without them. They felt like they were part of our friend group. All future guests are lucky to be able to set sail with these two.

Amazing Crew
I believe this is my family's 8th or so trip.
Capt Adrian is incredibly skilled, genuine and engaging. We enjoyed his wit and appreciated his lively entertainment of the kids.
Emma was AMAZING! It there was a higher score than a 10/10, I would give it to her.
She is an amazing chef and truly went above and beyond with our our meals. Her food was better than the food I got on the islands! Her personality was spot on and she made us feel right at home from the second we stepped onboard. We truly lucked out with the best Chef in the biz.
Amazing crew! The quality of their service was top notch.
