Crew Information
Freelance Chef
Captain: Heiko Franken
**** Returning Crew - Heiko and Rebecca were previously on sailing vessels 3 Sisters, Felix, Tedavi and Big Nauti. Thrilled to have them back now on Sail Away!
MEET YOUR CREW for 2024/25 season
CAPTAIN: Heiko Franken
CHEF: Freelance Chef Leanne Ho-Chung
STEWARDESS: Rebecca Wu
Heiko, born and raised in Germany, is an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore. He left his job in IT management in 2014 to begin his dream to travel. Initially intending to be away for about a year, he soon realized that going back to an office-based job did not feel right for him anymore. Since then he has travelled throughout South and Central America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. During this time he visited 30+ countries, speed-hiked the Camino de Santiago, hiked up 5000m high mountains, learned to speak Spanish, went scuba and freediving around the world and had many more beautiful experiences above and below the water. He is a Freediving Instructor and PADI Divemaster. Heiko loves to be out in the blue of the ocean and enjoys sharing his passions as a guide by creating safe and unique experiences.
Rebecca was born and raised in New York City but has lived all around the world since 2004. After graduating from NYU in 2002 with B.A. in Economics & Psychology, Rebecca worked in the financial services industry in New York and Hong Kong. A trip to Australia in 2005 changed her life - she learned to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef and fell completely in love with scuba diving. Two years later, she left the concrete jungle and trading floor for real jungles and sea floors.
She spent two months diving her way around the Philippines, three months on a marine conservation expedition in Madagascar and four months completing her Divemaster internship in Malaysia. Afterwards, life took an unexpected turn and she found herself living in Sweden for a year, where she discovered her love for sailing and life afloat. Still holding onto her dream to teach scuba and share the underwater world with others, she put her plans for sailing to the Caribbean on hold to become a PADI Instructor in 2009. She has worked in Thailand, Hawaii and Indonesia for a over decade in nearly every facet of the scuba diving industry, from guiding and instructing to dive center and resort management to working on a liveaboard. She loves life in the tropics, surrounded by water, nature and wildlife and thrives on sharing her passions with her guests.
Heiko and Rebecca met in Utila, Honduras while they were doing their Master Freediver course in 2015. After several years of working in different countries and flying across oceans to see each other, they decided to create a life together in 2020. Their mutual love for the ocean, travel and exploration led them to obtain their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualifications together in Gibraltar in 2020, sailing thousands of miles along the coasts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, dodging the infamous orcas along the way. Shortly afterwards, they crewed their first yacht together in the USVI and have been flourishing as a team ever since.
They are passionate about providing a highly professional level of service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere while creating the most memorable experiences for their guests. They love getting to know you and tailoring each charter to your preferences and desires, allowing you to kick back, relax and enjoy. With a deep love and respect for the natural world, they maintain a strong focus on environmentally aware hospitality and best practices to ensure minimal impact on the environment.
Heiko and Rebecca are back for their fifth charter season in the Virgin Islands after three four seasons running a total of 50+ charters. This dynamic couple is excited to be on Sail Away for 2024/25 and look forward to welcoming you aboard, showing you the wonders of the Virgin Islands and creating memories to last a lifetime!
Chef Leanne
Leanne, born and raised in Sydney, Australia, donned her backpack when she was 18yrs old and has been on a worldwide travel and work adventure ever since.
Having completed a Hospitality Traineeship at TAFE College, Sydney in 1996, her extensive experience in the service industry has facilitated her to work in countries such as Hong Kong, England, parts of Europe and Canada, to name a few. She has been a children’s ski instructor in Austria and Australia, as well as a TEFL English teacher in Cambodia.
Her love of different cultures and the ocean led her to Roatan, Honduras where she completed her PADI Dive Master. In 2013, after four years in Central America she took the opportunity to assist in a boat delivery from Honduras to the BVI where her new career in the culinary world began.
Since 2013, Leanne has delighted guests with flavors from around the world, keeping meals balanced and nutritious whilst including plenty of decadent options to satiate any palate. Extremely adaptable, she can accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements and guest preferences.
Leanne looks forward to making you delicious food that matches the beauty of the British Virgin Island surroundings.
Leanne has worked on Sail Away for a couple of years and is now a freelance chef onboard.

Reviews
The catamaran itself was comfortable, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a week of luxury on the water.
Heiko’s expertise in sailing was evident, and we felt completely safe and comfortable under his guidance.
Rebecca was an outstanding host, making sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience.
The scenery was breathtaking, and we had the chance to explore hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy delicious meals Maia prepared for us every day. Their attention to detail, knowledge of the area, and overall hospitality made this charter a five-star experience.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect day on the water!
Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful week in the BVI's. it was a pleasure to get to know both of you.
BEST VACATION EVER!!
Thank you for welcoming our little pirate, Lainey, onboard. Such a fun time having our 8 month old granddaughter on board with us.We will cherish our memories with you always and hopefully, our paths will cross again on another sailing adventure.
Thank you for a wonderful experience in the BVI.
Appreciated your kindness and hospitality each and every day.
Food and service was above and beyond.
Also appreciated all the knowledge of BVI, and nature surrounding it.
Your professionalism was above and beyond.
This was the best trip of my life!
We cannot thank you enough for the perfectly planned trip.
We will be coming back for sure and cannot wait for future adventures.
We cannot thank you enough for our wonderful week in paradise.
We were blown away by the food, the views and the fun activities throughout the week.
You both have been so helpful and taught us so much about the Virgin islands.
This place and this vacation will always have a special place in our hearts. We would recommend your charter to all of our friends.
Cheers to you and this amazing place.
We really appreciated the customer service especially after realizing that we truly were being pampered! The food was outstanding (every meal) and I couldn't be happier to spend the week with you!
Also, thank you for the helpful hints; without that I would not have been able to have the snorkel experience I did!
Before this week, I didn't know what vacation meant. You spoiled us all thoroughly. The islands and oceans knowledge so freely given; the never ending incredible food; the peace and the parties. :)
We are going home sun-kissed, relaxed and full of new information and joy.
Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
All the conservation education was the highlight for me!
Learning about the islands and sea-life was eye opening.
I truly appreciate everything you both have done this entire week. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious.
Thank you for making this trip unforgettable.
Thank you so much for taking care of us. This trip was transformational.
We wish you a lifetime of Joy and Happiness.
Your kindness, your professionalism, your vibe was top notch!
We loved our experience on Sail Away! Cabins were surprisingly spacious and lots of great areas to hang out (including the bow and the very upper deck). We learned there's a big difference between a 50 ft Cat and a 60 ft like Sail Away, we are spoiled now! The crew exceeded ALL expectations, we now believe this is the most important thing when selecting a charter. Adrien (captain), Vanessa (first mate) and Leanne (chef) were so awesome. But we must single out Leeanne, we are "foodies" and every meal blew us away, even the breakfasts. We hope to be back and hope for this same crew!

Kim, your meals were incredible.
Lesley, you cared for us as though we were your family.
Speedy Mike, you are captain extraordinaire!
Than you thank you thank you. A special thanks for Carolyn’s birthday party. We hope to see you again.
With love and gratitude,
Fabia and Carolyn
We met Colleen and Peter at the Cay, a short ride from the airport, and off we went. We had 4 days of on-boat quarantine and, really, who could complain about beautiful bays, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking etc?! After a day 4 test and subsequent test result we hit land for our first on shore activities.
Colleen and Peter, our hosts on Sail Away, were EXCELLENT in every way. They are both highly experienced sailors and know every corner of (and almost everyone in) the BVI. They took incredible care of us from charting our trip, arranging activities, and preparing delicious meals. Colleen clearly did a ton of preparation to be able to prepare gourmet dishes with ease for a group that also included gluten free vegans. And they were funny, fun, and overall great to get to know.
Oh and Sail Away is gorgeous. No need for me to say more - JUST GET HERE.

Mike, Lizzy & Lisa! It took only 5 seconds from the moment we stepped on to the boat to feel your warmth & sincerity… And we felt comfortable and cared for… and relaxed! This is the FIRST TIME I have ever experienced Doug completely relaxed and UNPUGGED…. We thank you for that gift. It was a trip of a life-time, we are so grateful for the experience and love you all!! Many blessings Doug and Lisa X

You know you’re an exceptional captain, first mate and chef when your passengers feel like you were part of their family…and I feel like I’ve known you for a long time! You guys are the BOMB! I’ve never felt so pampered. Miss you already!

Marco Island
The boat is in great condition and the salon and state rooms are well appointed.
Jason and Team did a wonderful job and the food blew away our expectations (which were high from our previous trip on another boat). I'd recommend getting off the boat for cocktails here and there but eating on board as none of the island restaurants can match the quality and presentation of the food.
They had plenty of sports equipment on board -- everything from water skis to wakeboard, to kayaks, to paddle boards, etc.... Full service boat with fantastic crew -- perfect match.

The crew was amazing and Christine was just incredible. We ate like kings all week. Claire and Xavier were so nice and wonderful. The vacation was amazing! We loved every minute of it....the best vacation ever.
It was incredible! Im ready to look for next year. Call me!
I just wanted to send you an email and tell you how proud I am of Xavier and his crew on VACOA! He is such a pleasure to work with. My clients had the best trip ever on board with them.
Thank you for all your assistance!
The week went by so fast even though it was 7 days on a boat...we went to every location we wanted plus some. Xavier knew exactly when the best times would be for snorkeling, seeing turtles, exploring the Baths (when all of the people had left); he even knew how to keep us out of the stormy weather! We enjoyed hiking on the islands, tennis at two resorts, sailing at Bitter End and spa treatments on shore. They really did an amazing job keeping all of us happy.
Te envo como recuerdo dos fotos del grupo de navegantes argentinos, de la semana del 9-5 al 16-5-15. Hemos pasado una semana muy linda y nos hemos sentido muy satisfechos por las atenciones de toda la tripulacin.
Un cordial saludo para los tres y espero nos podamos volver a re-encontrar.
Cordialmente.
I finally got ahold of M. XXX to get a report on their sailing vacation in St Martin with Xavier and Clare and Christine on VACOA and he has only superlatives for the boat, crew and experience.He was ecstatic about the food, the service, Xaviers energy and flexibility with doing water sports with the kids, playing DJ and helping guide the itinerary choices.
They said they would charter that boat again with that crew.
All of the crew work well together. Susan and I speak French with them, some Italian with Manuela, but they are all fluent in English. They have been particularly patient and helpful with the grandchildren.
The boat itself is super, but the setup of the bathrooms could be better, which has nothing to do with the crew, of course.
I am glad that we held out for VACOA .
The captain Marco and his crew has work very hard to offer to all the party an unforgettable cruise.
They have appreciated their professionalism, the discretion , the long experience and the excellent cousin .
I want thank all the Team , I will give only super positive feedback on the boat and I hope to have soon other clients.
