Our Brokers Say
Olivia Charles swept the awards at the 2024 BVI Yacht Show, taking home 1st Place for Best Designer Water, 1st Place for Best Dessert, and Runner-Up for Best Yacht in Show (54-59 ft). But before we dive into why the crew deserves all the praise, let me introduce you to the yacht herself.
This catamaran is fantastic value, with a smart layout that makes good use of the space and a charming beachy décor. Think ocean vibes with shells and coral pieces and light blue and white fabrics that feel fresh and summerly.
The spacious flybridge features plenty of seating and even a small bar, making it perfect for relaxing with a drink in hand, which is sure to be served up quickly by the fantastic crew, Emma Clark and Tom Hemsley, that I am now about to rave about.
Our visit aboard Olivia Charles was one we remember. We stepped onboard during the heat of the day, craving something cold, and Emma greeted us with such warmth that we instantly felt at home. She offered us a taste of her award-winning designer water, and it was no surprise she took first place. Served in a martini glass with fresh mint, a giant ice cube slowly releasing fruity sweetness, and a bubble on top that popped with a delicate puff of smoke—it was both delicious and magical. (See photo below). To top it off, Emma had laid out pain au chocolat and fresh fruit skewers, a simple yet perfect treat that truly captured the essence of summer.
Embarking on a charter with Emma and Tom, you can expect to be welcomed as if you were old friends while enjoying first-class hospitality. This lovely couple knows exactly how to make you feel pampered, relaxed, and completely at home.

Reviews
Thanks so much for an amazing week! Your kindness and care for us was always evident in every delicious meal, drink and time spent together whilst sailing and relaxing bays and anchorages. We truly enjoyed ourselves and feel rejuvenated as we return back to work and to some of our normal routines. Thanks also for the extra attention and acknowledgment of Monica's and my 33 year anniversary. We hope to return one day and to see you both again. Please visit us in Virginia if you're ever traveling to Washington D.C. and let us treat you like Royalty as you have done for us, love Charlie & Monica and the gang.
Way beyond expectations! What a wonderful sailing a culinary experience! It was a definite “must do again” because both of you are amazing! The energy, laughs, and the effort you both made to create the perfect “esprit du couer’.
Please know how much we appreciated all your work in making our voyage a very memorable experience! I look forward to seeing you again under sail.
What a fabulous voyage! Thank you for making our first sailing trip so wonderful. The sailing was marvellous and the cuisine was exquisite. Never have we felt so pampered! It will be very difficult to leave.
Tommy- Painkillers will now be a family tropical staple.
Your attention to detail, kindness and sense of humour (and putting up with two young boys) made this trip our best ever. We hope to see you in the BVIs next year! All the best the Rees family

From our first conversation on the phone, I knew we were in store for a fabulous charter. Thank you for everything. Your genuine warmth and caring to see that all of our wishes were met and exceeded. This was our first charter, something we have talked about for years, you’ve set the bar high.
We will be back to see the BVI with you, I’m already looking forward to it. We will see you both again.
Dear Tommy and Emma,
Thank you for the most amazing week! No better way to experience the Caribbean than aboard The Olivia Charles with you two. As soon as we saw this gorgeous yacht, beautiful flowers and champagne toast, we knew we were in for a special week. All the meals were exceptional and beautifully plated. Tommy your drinks were delish!
Thanks for all the laughs. We hope to see you in the BVI soon.
We have enjoyed every moment of our trip! The food, sailing and company was amazing.
Thank you for creating so many adventures for our family. We can’t wait to come back.
