Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like RAPSCALLION, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($2,400 - $4,200), making the charter cost $14,400 to $16,200. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

3 day charter | 6,000USD to 6,000USD | 1,200USD to 1,800USD | 7,200USD to 7,800USD | The usual formula is the 7 day charter rate divided by 6, times the number of days (3). Boat policy might differ. 12,000USD / 6 * 3 days = 6,000USD |

Endless gratitude, Maria and Mike
Jamie, thank you so much for a wonderful sale and adventure. I felt safe the whole time and was amazed of your knowledge you have of the boat and of the seas. I wouldn't do this voyage with any other Captain than you. You are a wonderful, delightful, handsome man. The perfect one is out there so don't give up and we wish you a safe, healthy happy life ahead of you.
Thanks again, Shelly and Jack

Its been everything we dreamed of and you helped make it all possible, From the great snorkeling spots, the great sails & awesome resturaunts. Thanks for taking great care of us! Don’t forget to call us if you come thru Atlanta again!
David, Tara, Kaylee, Tanner, Sean & Claire
Cappy did a fantastic job planning a fun filled adventure for five old people. Favorite memories were scooting around Anagada, floating at JVD all day and the adventure to and from the Windmill Bar in St. John. Lots of good snorkeling spots and beautiful stargazing at night. Sunsets were absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking such good care of us, Captain Jamie!
Susan, Barb, Rick, Laure, Dave
We were very satisfied with the cruising itinerary. We had to make a few adjustments along the way, but all of the destinations were still beautiful and unique. Lots of snorkeling and beach time, which we requested! The floating restaurants were a great experience as well. Super fun itinerary!
We were very impressed with the level of service and professionalism from Captain Jamie,
and all of the vendors we encountered. This was a bucket list trip that went very well for us! We can't wait to come back and do it all again soon!

Dear Steph and Ryan, this entire week I have struggled to find the right words to say anything. You guys have given my family and I the trip of a lifetime. But still, to write that out simply does not give justice to our true feelings about how life-changing an amazing this experience was. I learned a long time ago that just the right people come into your life when you need them the most. I never thought I’d meet such a loving eccentric and hysterical people such as yourselves and for that I am forever grateful. I’ll be honest, I struggle to comprehend the inner workings of fate but I do believe in it. I believe faith brought us together and I am confident faith will bring us all together again one day. We wish you a happy marriage and a good few cheer for yawls next adventure. I love you all, we love you! And we will miss you guys dearly! With love Preston Cooper Collier

Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes, yacht was comfortable, clean and well stocked.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes well ventilated. The AC went down to at least 69 degrees and there was a separate fan over the bed. We were concerned it wouldn’t be cold enough for us but it wasn’t an issue.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Yes Capt. Ryan and first mate Steph were the best. They made us feel special and pampered.
Was the food good and well presented?
Yes everything was made from scratch and the menu was different every day. Steph was an amazing cook! My wife was gluten-free so she made special accommodations for every meal.
8. Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
First rate crew. They were so much fun! They took us to one of kind spots that we’ve never been to and excellent restaurants. They helped arrange a band on the boat for a birthday celebration that turned into a “block party “ on the bay. Would definitely hire again.
Cruising Area
Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes went to Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix.
Beyond the incredible locations and sites, your attention to detail on food, beverage, and boat worse unsurpassed. We never had a warm beer, empty glass, or dull moment! We love you both!

Ryan and Steph, this trip exceeded all expectations! It was the trip of a lifetime and one I will never forget. Thank you for working so hard to make sure we had a wonderful experience. You always went the extra mile for us. You are the best!
Steve Glauser
Ryan and Steph, thank you for making such an amazing place even better with your company, enthusiasm, knowledge, and expertise. We couldn’t have asked for better people to become family with this week. Bracken a.k.a. tickle stick especially needed to be picked on by all of us it’s good for him. Thank you for sharing your heart and for working so hard. We will never forget this trip and both of you as part of it.
Love, Sara & Bracken Ostler
From our very first call, I knew we’d be welcomed by Steph southern drawl And Ryan to navigate through every single squall
With Ryan at the helm where the sea is his realm we never did think that in the sea we would sink.
With the realm of the galley steered by the smiling stef we knew we had a wonderful chef
The meals were more delicious than we ever could wish, Steph amazed us with every dish.
Ryan found as great places to swim, where many beautiful fish we saw with mass snorkels and fins.
They took us to line out, where we ate tacos on a float. Then with full bellies we swim back to our sailboat.
On Christmas Eve they swam us to tunes where we heard some fiddling and a Rastaman croon.
Ryan and Steph are a wonderful crew, when we leave them we will be filled with many boo-hoo‘s
Over this Christmas week we did spend, a week with a couple we call marvelous friends!
Know that Kathy, Charlie, Cate, Tess, and Chris it is you Ryan and Steph we will definitely miss!
We hope to see you again on a near future date. Know that you were always welcome to stay in our home to visit San Francisco and our town by the Golden gate!
Lots of love,
The Wilmoths
Thank you so much for all the things you did to make us feel so special aboard the fabulous Rapscallion.(including the things we probably had no idea you were doing)!! Thank you especially for sharing your islands and the things that made this week so amazing:
Sunset hikes, ancient lighthouses, dinghy swinging, cooking so much wonderful food in such a small space, beach trips, shipwrecks, swimming, Disney magic, all year mini kind words and all the animal sightings, dolphins turtles so many fish, pelicans diving, and of course all the brown boobies! And who could ever forget Felicia!
Thank you again! Until next time…
Kevin, Sharon, Gunnar,& Amelia
Vacation is over and we are not happy about it. This trip most definitely exceeded any expectations I had. We loved everything about it. From Hikes (more challenging to some than others end) snorkeling, Saint Croix jeep tour!! U2 are the very best!! Never wanting for a thing this week makes it tough to head back to reality. We love y’all Grant and Kathryn Larlee
Steph and Ryan, thanks for an awesome trip from a guy that has had a hard time relaxing you sure succeeded. I learn the important things in life on this trip. No shoes no pants and few possessions are important. Thanks again! Grant
Steph and Ryan,
Thank you for one of the most adventurous, Chill, drinking, eating, laughing vacations we’ve ever had. Never been on a trip like this and it Surpassed all expectations!! From the daily amazing sunsets, to the ball busting jeep rides, to Lime out tacos, to dodging goats, to the most amazing snorkel experience every day, has been awesome! Thank you for all the great memories. Ron and Susan Parks
Captain Ryan an Chef Steph,
We are so very happy to have had another amazing week on Rapscallion! As always we’ve made great memories, enjoyed the best food, laughter ton, and truly love your company. We can’t wait to come back again to see our favorite USVI friends. Thanks for the journey to St. Croix and for spoiling us yet again. We will see you soon! Love Will and Dana Curry
1. The soothing sounds of the islands, like waves crashing on the shore, frog singing at night, and that Eazy-E station blasting through the speakers!
2. Hiking! From Beta Bay, checking out ruins, possibly trespassing, Ramshead and petroglyphs.
3. Amazing snorkeling at every stop.
4. Stephs ridiculously good kitchen creations. #DropItLikeIt’sHot
5. I got to see a lunar eclipse Dash reward for being up at 5:45 every day! And it was a full moon!
6. Shutting the box!!!
7. Taming Felicia! It took a little waterboarding, but I like her spunk!
And most of all, making two wonderful friends! Can’t wait to see y’all again either here or in TN. We hope we’re not your easiest charter this season!
Love, Darsi and Ben
Captain Ryan and chef Steph, it is easy to thank you for taking us to all the beautiful sites. Your knowledge of the USVI is amazing. But I really want to thank you for creating the perfect situation to connect with my wife, son, and daughter. Giving us space at times, being our tour guide, and being one of the family at other times! What an amazing and complicated job you do. My prayers are with you both. Hopefully the connections you foster and the grace you give will be something that continues to strengthen your own relationship. Thank you for the amazing experience! Love, The MXXXXXS
Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime! As a mom, we worry about the right food accommodations, safety, fun drinks, and with you too there was zero need to stress about anything. You have a gift for hospitality and it shows in the little touches(fresh flowers, graduation sign, snack baskets, and Eminem’s, fever tonic, and spa waters)
Ryan, I’m thankful for your precision and experience at the helm, it was always smooth sailing. We greatly appreciate the snorkels and restaurant accommodations, concierge service wherever we went. Thank you for making our first born high school graduate feel so special and important. We are all so blessed to have been in your care this week. Keep living the dream and here’s to you and your ambitions! Ginny
Captain Ryan and chef Steph, thank you so much for an amazing trip to all the best spots in the USVI. I felt so loved and very surprised from the moment I met y’all. I really enjoyed snorkeling and dinghy slinging, finding new fish, and creatures was so exciting to see. Both of you guys made it so easy to relax with the great sailing and delicious meals every day. My favorites were definitely the crabcakes and the Keylime pie :-) I can’t even explain how much of a relief it was to come from Windward passage to Rapscallion ❤️
Love Bella(17)
Dear captain Ryan and chef Steph, you guys Have really made this the best vacation ever. There has not been a single plate put in front of me that I didn’t like. I love the scuba destinations and all the adventures and wildlife. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about this vacation. You have made me feel like I’ve been here forever. This was definitely a step up from Windward passage. You have my experience of the virgin islands so amazing. Thank you guys so much! Love Lily
This trip was truly a bucket list dream for me and you exceeded every expectation. The food was amazing! You kept me well fed. I love the “it’s so fluffy“ unicorn and all the other toys. I was happy and relaxed all week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so glad to call you friends. God bless! Jo Lynn (Alotta)
Dear Ryan and Steph, what can I say… AMAZING!!! Exceeded our expectations. You are family now. I love how both of you want all of your guests to feel at home and comfortable every day no matter what! U2 are a beautiful couple and individuals. Beautiful memories made. We will be back! xoxo Carol

Aimee, Ronnie, Andrew, & Hunter
Steph and Ryan, thank you guys so much for an amazing trip. Your meals were amazing and I loved snorkeling. I learned how to knee board which was awesome. Almost caught a fish too. I loved waking up in the mornings and sitting outside with whatever float was in the water. Playing catchphrase was also awesome. Thank you again for such an amazing trip. I will always remember it. Also scuba diving was the coolest thing I’ve ever done. This was a birthday of a lifetime!!
Love, Hunter(11-course) PS: it’s a beautiful thing!

6. Additional comments on your charter?
This trip exceeded any and all expectations. Can't say enough about our new friends Ryan and Steph. They made all our dreams come true with this trip. It was most relaxed and fun trip any of us had ever had. The scenery, the food and drinks, snorkeling, shopping, sailing and all the great floating toys on the boat were spectacular. It was a trip we will remember for a lifetime!!!!
I don’t know which of you is more lucky to have the other. The highlight of our week has been you guys and your fabulous sense of humor. You have an uncanny ability to give us exactly what we want, both giving us space and being there, for laughs, for cocktails, for snacks, and constantly offering entertainment options. Steph, everyone raves about your food, and it is heavenly good. If you forced me to pick favorites, it would be the evening fish dishes, and the massive breakfasts that were perfect after an hour of wobbly dawn yoga on deck, an early morning snorkel, and plenty of coffee. BTW that coffee was always there and freshly brewed no matter what ridiculously early time I got up. I couldn’t beat Ryan out of bed, even once, although Liz managed it, but only on day one, getting up at 3:30am she was so determined not to miss a minute of vacation.
Steph, I loved our land hikes to get the views, and seeing you sweat like crazy and assure me that you loved climbing hills too, while downing gatorade. Ryan, you showed us beautiful cove after beautiful cove, and stunning sunset after stunning sunset. You gave me my first taste of tubing, and it was a blast! There was no way I was flying off that thing, although you tried hard, and I swallowed half the ocean laughing. Andrew got his first taste of paddle-boarding (I have the hilarious video to prove it). It was no mill-pond, we had a big-swell week, and he wisely decided to stick to the kayak to explore the places you took us, but Liz went out most days (an experienced paddle-boarder and she could handle the chop). Thank you for towing the kayak out to the very windy tip of Magens bay, so we had the perfect easy kayak back, going with the wind, watching the turtles surface, and nosying some of the most beautiful houses on Saint Thomas. Thank you for paying attention to our safety at all times, and racing across the bay to look for us when you thought we’d gone astray (we hadn’t, a false-alarm, we were having fun kayaking the coves, seeing goats play, and were just out of sight behind the massive boat, Felix).
I’m the first to fall off Felicia, but apparently not the first to accidentally dump technology overboard. Thank you for rescuing my GoPro when I dropped it in the dark, minus its floatie bubble case. Thank you for tolerating our (slightly drunken) whim to night snorkel, inspired by the underwater flashlight/GoPro incident, and wisely advising how to do it safely (noodles and buddies), and then killing the boat lights and blasting out the Jaws theme-tune as we swam back (OMG we laughed!).
Thank you for tirelessly hunting lobster with William (yum, the sashimi appetizer Steph created from it was delicious!). Thank you for filling your tiny freezer with his bait, and zipping along at plenty of knots so he could fish off the back of the boat. I loved when we had both sails up, the noise of the boat whooshing through the water, and we flew across to Buck Island, where I got those gorgeous turtle photos. Thank you for cleaning up after us, constantly, and the miraculously appearing towels, just when we needed them. You keep the yacht spotless, there are so many different places to chill, the cabins are beautiful, the water is hot, the beds are comfy, and the closet space surprisingly large (who knew there were drawers under the beds, and the bathrooms have six shelves). The evidence of how much fun we had is captured in so many photos of so many memories that we will treasure, and you Captain Ryan and First Mate Stephanie, are right there, starring in tons of them. Thank you. Jane.
Dear Ryan and Steph, thanks for such a beautiful and relaxing cruise. We will have wonderful memories of our time with you and all the cool destinations we arrived at each evening. The food was fabulous Steph! Thanks for all your efforts. We hope to do this again sometime. We wish you both many blessings always. Love, Peggy and Dave
Best ship crew ever!! Words cannot express how wonderful you both have been. You have made our trip an experience to remember! You catered to our every need. You were both so professional yet personable. You made us feel at home on the rapscallion. You took us to such magical places – the West Cay being my favorite.
Stephanie- you are an awesome chef! Every meal was splendid. Ryan- thanks for being my snorkel buddy! My only regret is that we didn’t get those three lobsters we tried for. We could not have had a better trip… Thanks to the two of you-thanks for making it so memorable! Please keep in touch, all the best Carol and Don
Thanks
Thank you for the most amazing week, fabulous food, and great adventures. We'll never forget the week that Will turned 40!! Just a few of our favorite memories on Rapscallion:
*Desserts!! Birthday cake, key lime pie, and cheesecake YUMMY!
*Drinking 7 cases of Ultra when we only ordered 5
*The Sunsets
*Our girl Felicia (The Unicorn)
*Snorkeling with the turtles(from the play-pad)
*Magen's Bay tow home from beach
*Shopping with Steph
*Teaching you the 'Booty Song'- Captain booty, cooking booty, dripping booty,....
*And who could forget Matt's elevator?!?!
There are so many more memories that we will hold dear from our trip! We hope to do this trip again and maybe get to see the BVI. Wishing you both the best on all your adventures ahead on Rapscallion!!

From the moment we stepped foot on the yacht we left the world behind..... When asked about sailing, Ryan’s grin was a sign of what the next 8 days would hold. He went from expert sailor, to fishing guide, to dive buddy, scooter leader, master griller, pro snorkeler, history teacher, and dance moves that stop fish from swimming just to watch. Maybe his best move ever though, was finding Stephanie to be his mate. No sea too rocky for our little spider-monkey to keep our drinks full, and our giggles endless. She delighted us with 5-star meals, made with 5-star love. She makes mooring the boat look as effortless as her mouthwatering desserts... Words cannot express our gratitude to Ryan and and Steph for making this experience as beautiful as the surroundings blue sea. Best of all, are the memories we now hold near and dear to our hearts, and the new friendships that will span for years to come. Thank You for an adventure of a lifetime!!
