Crew Information

Captain

Chef/First mate

Captain: Tim

Hi, I am your Captain, Tim :)

I was raised in a farming town within the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Always looking for an adventure I enjoyed exploring high mountain ranges and being a part of my parents environmental beekeeping company. However after matriculating I looked for a new adventure which led me to travel down to the West Coast and I found my attraction to the ocean. While doing my courses I indulged myself in all aspects of the water world, from jet-ski charters to absolutely loving water sports, and my personal favorite, chasing rogue seals off of old abandoned yachts that I revamped. Since then I have worked aboard a whole plethora of catamarans and chartered in beautiful waters such as Greece, Croatia and even went through the Corinth Canal but BVI takes the cake as I love all the beautiful snorkeling spots & countless opportunities to explore. After my deckhand role I noticed that my love for adventure has linked with charter hosting as I am able to share all the hidden gems, stories and history of the BVI (and many other islands) with our guests in the capacity of a Captain or as Nikki likes to say, CapTim.

Hi, I am your Chef, Nikki :)

I was born into a Portuguese/South African household and grew up in the farming lands of South Africa. I spent my younger years going to my grandparents farm to help them take care of their animals and would often find myself close to a musical instrument. After high school I decided to pursue a diploma in veterinary sciences all while taking up an opportunity in a beauty clinic. After achieving my diploma and meeting Timothy I traveled to the coast to start my yachting courses in hopes to work alongside him. Not long after we were recruited to work upon a catamaran as sole stewardess and deckhand alongside a Captain and Chef couple. We provided luxury charters in beautiful waters such as Antigua, Croatia, Greece , BVI and MANY MORE. As we were chartering I soon found my love for cooking food and saw the happiness that it brings to guests. I decided to pursue a culinary path of my own.
I hope to wow my guests with decorative platings mixed with hearty food and smiles.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard, create lasting memories and showcase our abilities to host, cook and entertainment upon your charter yacht, Serenity!

Serenity

Beyond Exceptional Experience!

Excellent job by Captain Tim and Chef Nikki!!! They were always going above and beyond to make our trip exceptional. I would rate them above 5 stars. They were both so professional and kind. I probably took more pictures of the food Chef Nikki prepared than photos of my own kids. 🤣

Serenity

A wonderful bucket list trip!

Our Serenity vacation was an amazing experience. Captain Tim and Chef Nikki expertly hosted the 6 of us for a four night adventure in the USVI. Every day we woke to a delicious, healthy breakfast and Captain Tim would advise us of our day’s plan. Hopping from cove to cove we snorkeled, swam, and floated on the Sunchill. We’d enjoy Capt Tim’s cocktails (Painkillers were our favorite) and drool-worthy lunches. Our late afternoons typically consisted of more water time. One afternoon, Tim took us ashore to St John where we taxied to a great bar with beautiful views. After showers we’d gather for happy hour and Chef Nikki’s canapés. A fabulous dinner would await us where the food was not only picture-perfect but delectable! Tim and Nikki are a great team and I’d highly recommend this particular charter.

Serenity

Outstanding crew and a perfect family trip!

Cannot speak highly enough of my experience on the Serenity! Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond accommodating and really made the trip so special. The crew worked every day to make sure we had the best vacation possible and even took the time to play board games with our whole family! Chef Nikki served the most incredible meals every day and was so conscious of different dietary needs/restrictions. Captain Tim not only expertly handled the boat from island to island but also organized fun activities and water sports every day. This was easily one of the best trips I've been on and it was largely due to the kindness and expertise of the crew. If you’re planning on booking a charter in the BVIs it absolutely has to be with this boat. My only regret is I wasn’t able to stay for longer!

Serenity

Best trip with the best crew!

This trip was so amazing it’s beyond words. Besides from the stunning water and views, Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond amazing. I truly believe the experience would not be what it was without them. The food was beyond amazing and the games we would all play together made the vacation all the better. Beautiful water, the best crew, amazing marine life and stunning snorkeling made the perfect trip. I’m going to miss the BVI’s but Tim and Nikki even more.

Serenity

Excellent vacation!

To "lure" one’s adult children to spend a vacation with their parents, you need to come up with something special. We suggested a sailing trip in the BVI, and they were all onboard for that idea. But not in my wildest dreams could I have expected such a fantastic vacation!! Tim, the captain, and Nikki, the gourmet chef, are simply the best. They are a beautiful and service-minded couple! Tim’s sailing skills and expertise in docking the boat were most impressive. Nikki’s superb cooking was to everybody’s liking. My highlight of each day was when i asked Nikki "what’s for lunch today?" and her answers were always mouthwatering. Tim's cocktail-making talent was also superb—his Bloody Mary surpassed the famous one served by the Wolseley restaurant in London! The Serenity (48’ Catamaran) was a wonderful home for our week in the BVI. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and it had a bunch of fun water toys, which we enjoyed each day. We are already dreaming about another trip (maybe later in the year, but definitely in 2026) on the Serenity with Tim and Nikki. But, as my husband said, he’s be happy to charter a dinghy if it were crewed by Tim and Nikki!

Serenity

Serenity, Nikki, and Tim are the perfect combination!

Voyage of a lifetime. Nikki and Tim are …….. exceptional. It’s really hard to put into words the experience we were so fortunate to have. We saw the most spectacular sights, snorkeled the most amazing spots, did all the water sports we could fit in, and experienced the BVI on a beautiful catamaran. The yacht was comfortable, very well kept, and was in excellent shape.

But the experience really was more than we could have ever bargained for because of Nikki and Tim. Tim made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. He plotted the days and evenings perfectly. We caught sunsets and woke up to the most beautiful views. He worked so hard to make sure my family enjoyed all the activities and filled our days. He always planned ahead. And Tim was so humble and really wanted our experience to be amazing by going the extra mile. He truly cared.

Nikki……was the cherry on top. The meals were beyond amazing. She opened her heart to our 4 year old and bonded with our children. We woke up to healthy and delicious meals. And we finished the day with a spectacular dinner and desert. She also made us feel so warm and welcome. We instantly felt like our experience was going to be special the moment we came aboard and she greeted us with warmth and laughter.

I cannot say this enough. Nikki and Tim were exceptional. Serenity is a special vacation on a special boat. Any family or friends trip will go home with a tear because they have to depart such a special couple and an unforgettable experience .

Highly highly highly recommend.

Serenity

Book it!

My family of 4 adults just had an amazing week with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie on Serenity. Due to winter weather, we had delays with two of our arrivals and Brooke and Kylie had it all worked out to accommodate late arrivals and alternate pickup locations. Adjustment were made in our itinerary to get us to our requested destinations as well as the locations that Captain Brooke knew would be good sailing for the weather that we had. The food was amazing at every meal and we had more than we could have possibly eaten. Cold drinks to satisfy a wide range of tastes were available and Kylie went out of her way to fulfill a few non-traditional tastes! Game nights with the crew, dinner together at Saba Rock, trips ashore…Brooke and Kaylie became our extended family for the week and we had so much fun. Serenity is a beautiful yacht with comfortable seating and sleeping. She is kept in top shape and is very comfortable to sail aboard. This was our first charter vacation, and our entire family felt like it was the best vacation that we had ever been on. I can’t give enough credit to Brooke and Kylie for a tremendous week in the BVI! Leave your options open on your preference sheet and you will not be disappointed with the trip that this crew puts together for you. Happy sailing!

Serenity

Can't go wrong with Brooke and Kylie

Wow, what a blast we had on the Catamaran charter with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie! The Serenity was a beautiful vessel and Brooke handled it as true professional. When we had some tough weather or A/C technical issues, we never lost confidence and comfort with Brooke at the helm. Kylie created some truly beautiful and delicious meals. And the desserts were just phenomenal. It was unbelievable what she could do in that small galley kitchen.

Brooke and Kylie were so attentive and helpful; organizing activities and flexing our schedule as needed based on weather; arranging water and land taxis when needed; showing us the coolest spots on the islands. They joined us for a quite rainy dinner at Saba Rock and entertained us onboard with custom cocktails and games.

It was really hard to say goodbye to these two new family members.

Serenity

Smooth sailing on stormy seas!

Pool’s open….
At the back of Serenity with Brooke and Kylie! What a treat to sail on with these amazing hard working young women! Captain Brooke is a steady, dedicated and capable breath of fresh air. Chef Kylie can whip up five star meals you can barely get in any restaurant. We asked for desserts… desserts we got and they were as innovative as they were beautiful and delicious!
The yacht was gorgeous and pristine. Brooke runs a tight ship when it comes to maintaining our personal floating hotel. She is quick and efficient and manages everything as if with magic.
Our sail week was unfortunately during some of the weirdest weather and Captain Brooke navigated us through it with aplomb! She was quick on her feet to find alternate sails and activities to keep us happy and busy!
These young women handled several different personalities and needs with such grace and agility. So relaxing to be in the care of these two inspired and dedicated women.
It was sad to say goodbye to my two new daughters! May we sail again soon!

Serenity

The only way to tour the Virgin Islands!

This has by far been my favorite vacation ever! I don't think I want to vacation any other way again! The Crew, Jake and Eddie were awesome!! The views are absolutely breath taking, the history we learned.. these guys really know some interesting facts! Did I mention the snorkeling??? It was out of this world!! Foxy's is a must if you go to the BVI's as well as The Baths. We had so much fun!! The next to last day the guys put together Serenity Olympics for us!! They really worked well with our group to make sure we had a great time!!

Serenity

Awesome Virgin Island Trip

Best trip ever!!! Boat was awesome. All of the stops in the BVI and US VI were great. However, the highlight of the trip was Captain Jake and Chef Kylie! They were perfect. Felt like they were part of our family.

Serenity

Perfection!

Kylie and Jake are the absolute best! Kylie’s food was above 5 star status. Everything tasted wonderful. Jake was the ultimate captain. From knowing what stop to get to at a specific time and keeping us comfortable while in open waters, everything was perfect. They both also make great bartenders. Would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone. Best vacation ever because of Kylie and Jake!

Serenity

We Love Jake and Kylie!!!

This was the best trip ever because of Jake and Kylie!!! They are the best captain and chef. They are so thoughtful, selfless, joyful, and kind. They truly felt like our sister and brother. We can’t wait to do this trip again with them. They make the best food and drinks. They are so fun and showed us the best parts of the islands. I’m so thankful for them. The boat is also amazing. I wish I could live on Serenity!! This trip was so perfect and I never wanted to leave.

Serenity

Kylie and Jake = THE BEST!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Best vacation EVER!! Kylie and Jake are the kindness, most fun, thoughtful, coolest, cutest, most beautiful on the inside and out captain and chef! Loveeeee them so much! Never wanted to leave. We will be back!

Serenity

BVI Trip

Thank you for the amazing trip! Kylie and Jake made this trip a real pleasure! From the stops and customized itinerary to what our group wanted to see to the presentation of breakfast and drinks! Boat was very comfortable, new and clear. Highly highly recommended!

Serenity

Above and beyond any of our expectations

From the welcoming glasses of sparkling wine when we stepped aboard for the first time to the amazing water activities to the delicious food that was 5 star quality in variety, taste and presentation, to the expert guidance around the waters of the BVI and the USVI, we were continuously wowed by the crew of the Serenity. Kylie and Jake are husband and wife and the crew of the Serenity and they went above and beyond to make our week aboard the brand new sailing cat one of our most luxurious vacations ever.

The boat is extremely comfortable and well maintained to the best standards. Jake is a very professional captain but as a conductor of all our water activities, he made sure the kids (2 12 year old boys and a 10 year old girl) had an amazing time. The grown ups sometimes joined in - once we were able to put down that cocktail that was always delicious and dangerously easy to appear. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat - each meal a truly top notch dining experience. It was hard to believe that they were prepared in that galley that's smaller than most kitchens. The cabins were small as was expected but they very comfortable with queen sized beds - I had my best sleep in years during that week. Each of the 3 cabins had an attached bathroom and I cannot stress how important that was to our comfort levels. The boys decided to sleep in the bunk beds - those were tight but they didn't mind it at all. They used a 4th bathroom that was just outside the bunk bed space.

Kylie and Jake were able to effortlessly guide us through our time on board - from suggesting destinations to sail to, to suggesting an itinerary, to making sure that everything that was needed to sail a boat with 9 people on board was taken care of without us noticing or worrying about a thing. The Serenity is a lovely boat and Kylie and Jake are a wonderful people and a hardworking and extremely friendly crew. We are 2 families who have sailed bareboat (without a crew) together before so we can appreciate the work that goes into making it seem effortless and worry free. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I hope I get an opportunity to sail with them again.

Serenity

Amazing Experience

I wish I were a more eloquent writer, as I know this will not properly communicate the amazing week we had onboard Serenity with Jake and Kylie. Serenity is a beautiful boat—clean, new, lovely cabins. The BVI is an amazing place with so much to see. That being said, what made this trip an incredible, unforgettable experience was being with Captain Jake and Kylie. Jake is an accomplished captain, who made us feel immediately comfortable. He answered (a ridiculous amount of) questions, shared his knowledge of sailing and took us on so many unique adventures. We snorkeled, swam, saw beautiful beaches, hit up such fun beach bars. Every day was something new. We had two teenage boys that Jake did everything to help make the trip more exciting for. Our oldest wanted to fish—-so lines were out at every opportunity (even when he was sleeping). He coordinated efoil lessons on Saba Rock—which was totally his idea after meeting our kids (must do if interested in something out of the ordinary). We had a guided tour (with both Jake and Kylie) through the Baths (OMG beautiful!) and saw the most breathtaking views in St John. The kids (and husband) rode tubes behind dingy, Jake and Kylie showed the kids how to get the sails up to sail—-we just did it all. At NO point, did Jake seem to tire of requests—-he was there to make sure every moment was safe, exciting and enjoyable.

Kylie welcomed us from the first moment with her warm smile, amazing food and cocktails/mocktails. We had more food than we could ever eat—-and each presentation was beautiful. After being on a beach or a snorkel, we would board the boat with a beautiful snack/drink combination. (The boys quietly told me they felt like celebrities every time this happened). Kylie had her hands full with our family—a food allergy and picky teenagers forced her to vary her dishes at every given meal, and she did with ease. Her homemade desserts were absolutely incredible—we are all still discussing her caramel dessert that we can’t remember the name of—but hails from her native South Africa. She did all the little things that go unnoticed, but make you feel so well take care of. Filling drinks while playing cards with family, putting things away—making sure we had sunscreen and bug spray. All those mom things that I ordinarily do—she had already done.

On top of these two being an amazing, TOP notch crew, they are two of the most lovely people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Sharing a boat is a special, intimate experience and when we left, we all felt as if we were leaving family members behind. As a group, we laughed, played games at night, and enjoyed every bit of their company. We LOVED Serenity, we LOVED exploring the BVI, but our trip was MADE by this wonderful couple. We are already planning how we can sail with them again…and raving about them to anyone who asks. They are more than the ultimate professionals—they are two of the most special people we have had the privilege to spend time with. Anyone who is lucky enough to sail with them will be more than impressed.

5/5 Amazing Trip

The trip was absolutely amazing. It had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but with the flexibility to go, do and see anything you wanted. The food and drinks were fantastic and plentiful and the captain and chef amazing. We cannot express how pleased we were by the entire experience from the initial booking with boats at Sea to the farewell goodbyes to Kylie and Jake!

The yacht was beautiful and in great shape. It was her first paid charter, so the expectation was high and she exceeded our expectations in space and amenities and just how comfortable it was for a full week. We never felt crowded or ran out of things to do. We made everyone leave the electronics off for the week and with 12-, 16-, and 20-year-old sons, there wasn't a whisper of complaining. Of course our Captain, or should I say DJ Jake was jamming great tunes the whole time for our entertainment and honored every request!
Captain Jake took our 3 sons tubing from the tender and I asked him to beat them up a little as they were professional tubers having tubed many summers in Northern Michigan. I was pleased to see strawberries on all of their elbows the next day from the tube and they agreed it was one of their best tube rides ever. We used the fishing poles daily and hooked into several Tarpon and a Barracuda out trolling. There was also a water wing, paddle boards and inflatable Kayak that all got used as well. The snorkel gear was heavily used!
The food was incredible. Chef Kylie is a rockstar! I am a retired restaurant manager/chef and was very impressed with the variety, quality, and freshness of the cuisine. From the yogurt parfaits to start our mornings before the main breakfast course to the filet and shrimp dinner and all the snacks in between, we couldn't have asked for more! Everyone had their favorite meal prepared throughout the week and the cocktails to go along with the meals really hit the spot. Even our 12 and 16 year old boys had mocktails to match our cocktails and felt very included. Even at home they are asking for the "Jake Killer" our captain's version of the famous "Pain Killer"
We let Jake to the planning and had no hard-set itinerary. It was extremely relaxing that way and all the pressure was on our captain to make sure he took us to the spots that he thought we would like best. After-all he is the expert, not us!

Captain Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He shared facts about the islands and personal experiences about each and every place we saw and stopped at. He was as excited as we were when we came across underwater delights. He made sure we saw Lobster, turtles, rays and even an Eagle Ray, sharks, and every fish that was on the fish chart. He was sure to guide everyone to snorkeling that matched their skill set and made sure nobody felt uncomfortable. He was with us every step of the way, or in this case every stroke. He guided us to on-shore excursions as well and educated us so well that we felt like we had been there before. We cannot say enough about both Captain Jake and Chef Kylie....The Best!!

"Truly the trip of my dreams! Our family of five (mom, dad and three boys ages 12, 16, 19) had such an amazing week on this luxurious and comfortable catamaran. Our hosts, Jake and Kylie were the perfect pairing for us and we thoroughly enjoyed their company! Not knowing a lot about the USVI, and only that we knew we'd like to focus on St. John to snorkel, explore and relax, we asked Jake and Kylie to take us to the places they liked most. Jake sailed us to some of the most beautiful bays, swam with us to great snorkel locations, took the kids tubing behind the dingy, and took us out for a day sail. Every day was filled with perfect amount of activity and relaxing. Can't list them all but a few favorites were snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay, a stop at Lime Out Taco Bar, Maho Beach and Salt Pond Bay when Kylie packed a wonderful beach bag for us with all the things we'd need for a few hours on the beach. They really are the most gracious hosts, eager to do everything to make your stay relaxing and feel completely taken care of. Kylie prepared wonderfully delicious and artful meals that I'm inspired to re-create. Snacks and fresh fruit were always on hand (necessary with 3 boys), and cocktails and mocktails were a very fun part of every day! The boys regularly requested the Jake Killer! Try it! Jake and Kylie are a great pair, they do it all from ensuring clean comfortable quarters to delicious and filling food and beverage, music requests, tours to any place you want to go, stories and history of the area, great directions for excursions, and just all around fun conversations. They made us feel like Serenity was our home for the week and we felt like family in a very short time! I can't say enough about this amazing vacation! We miss Jake and Kylie and would be thrilled to sail with them again to other places in the USVI, BVI or even beyond. You will love your stay on Serenity with Jake and Kylie-beautiful souls!"

Serenity

An amazing wonderful vacation

"Sailing though the BVI on Serenity was fabulous. The boat is new, was quite comfortable and had more pillows than we knew what to do with. Jake is a knowledgeable Captain who made the trip fun for all especially the kids. Ask him to make you his specialty drink - the Jake Killer - you won’t be disappointed. Kiley, the chef and all around awesome person has cooking skills that far exceeded our expectations. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious - every single meal! Her cocktails and mocktails rocked too! Jake and Kiley were a great team, very accommodating and they really took great care of us!

We explored many different islands, snorkeled, hiked, fished, did some water sports, relaxed on the beach and much more. The sunsets were breathtaking. I would take this trip, with Jake and Kiley, again in a heartbeat."

wpcf_crew: a:16:{s:4:"info";s:2410:"Hi, I am your Captain, Tim :)<br /> <br /> I was raised in a farming town within the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Always looking for an adventure I enjoyed exploring high mountain ranges and being a part of my parents environmental beekeeping company. However after matriculating I looked for a new adventure which led me to travel down to the West Coast and I found my attraction to the ocean. While doing my courses I indulged myself in all aspects of the water world, from jet-ski charters to absolutely loving water sports, and my personal favorite, chasing rogue seals off of old abandoned yachts that I revamped. Since then I have worked aboard a whole plethora of catamarans and chartered in beautiful waters such as Greece, Croatia and even went through the Corinth Canal but BVI takes the cake as I love all the beautiful snorkeling spots & countless opportunities to explore. After my deckhand role I noticed that my love for adventure has linked with charter hosting as I am able to share all the hidden gems, stories and history of the BVI (and many other islands) with our guests in the capacity of a Captain or as Nikki likes to say, CapTim. <br /> <br /> Hi, I am your Chef, Nikki :)<br /> <br /> I was born into a Portuguese/South African household and grew up in the farming lands of South Africa. I spent my younger years going to my grandparents farm to help them take care of their animals and would often find myself close to a musical instrument. After high school I decided to pursue a diploma in veterinary sciences all while taking up an opportunity in a beauty clinic. After achieving my diploma and meeting Timothy I traveled to the coast to start my yachting courses in hopes to work alongside him. Not long after we were recruited to work upon a catamaran as sole stewardess and deckhand alongside a Captain and Chef couple. We provided luxury charters in beautiful waters such as Antigua, Croatia, Greece , BVI and MANY MORE. As we were chartering I soon found my love for cooking food and saw the happiness that it brings to guests. I decided to pursue a culinary path of my own.<br /> I hope to wow my guests with decorative platings mixed with hearty food and smiles.<br /> <br /> We look forward to welcoming you aboard, create lasting memories and showcase our abilities to host, cook and entertainment upon your charter yacht, Serenity!<br /> <br /> ";s:5:"photo";s:81:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917brochure44.jpg";s:4:"size";s:1:"2";s:12:"captain_name";s:3:"Tim";s:14:"captain_nation";s:13:"South African";s:12:"captain_born";s:1:"0";s:15:"captain_license";s:24:"RYA Yachtmaster Offshore";s:18:"captain_yr_sailing";s:1:"0";s:21:"captain_yr_chartering";s:1:"0";s:17:"captain_languages";s:18:"English, Afrikaans";s:9:"crew_name";s:5:"Nikki";s:16:"crew_nationality";s:13:"South African";s:12:"crew_license";s:22:"West Coast Chef School";s:15:"crew_yr_sailing";s:1:"0";s:18:"crew_yr_chartering";s:1:"0";s:7:"crewimg";a:2:{i:1;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917crew1.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:7:"Captain";}i:2;a:2:{s:3:"url";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917crew2.jpg";s:4:"desc";s:15:"Chef/First mate";}}}

Always looking for an adventure I enjoyed exploring high mountain ranges and being a part of my parents environmental beekeeping company. However after matriculating I looked for a new adventure which led me to travel down to the West Coast and I found my attraction to the ocean. While doing my courses I indulged myself in all aspects of the water world, from jet-ski charters to absolutely loving water sports, and my personal favorite, chasing rogue seals off of old abandoned yachts that I revamped. Since then I have worked aboard a whole plethora of catamarans and chartered in beautiful waters such as Greece, Croatia and even went through the Corinth Canal but BVI takes the cake as I love all the beautiful snorkeling spots & countless opportunities to explore. After my deckhand role I noticed that my love for adventure has linked with charter hosting as I am able to share all the hidden gems, stories and history of the BVI (and many other islands) with our guests in the capacity of a Captain or as Nikki likes to say, CapTim. <br /> <br /> Hi, I am your Chef, Nikki :)<br /> <br /> I was born into a Portuguese/South African household and grew up in the farming lands of South Africa. I spent my younger years going to my grandparents farm to help them take care of their animals and would often find myself close to a musical instrument. After high school I decided to pursue a diploma in veterinary sciences all while taking up an opportunity in a beauty clinic. After achieving my diploma and meeting Timothy I traveled to the coast to start my yachting courses in hopes to work alongside him. Not long after we were recruited to work upon a catamaran as sole stewardess and deckhand alongside a Captain and Chef couple. We provided luxury charters in beautiful waters such as Antigua, Croatia, Greece , BVI and MANY MORE. As we were chartering I soon found my love for cooking food and saw the happiness that it brings to guests. I decided to pursue a culinary path of my own.<br /> I hope to wow my guests with decorative platings mixed with hearty food and smiles.<br /> <br /> We look forward to welcoming you aboard, create lasting memories and showcase our abilities to host, cook and entertainment upon your charter yacht, Serenity!<br /> <br /> ";s:14:"yachtCrewPhoto";s:81:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917brochure44.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew1Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917crew1.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew2Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917crew2.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew3Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew4Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew5Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew6Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew7Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew8Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew9Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew10Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew1Name";s:3:"Tim";s:14:"yachtCrew2Name";s:5:"Nikki";s:14:"yachtCrew3Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew4Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew5Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew6Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew7Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew8Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew9Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew10Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew1Title";s:7:"Captain";s:15:"yachtCrew2Title";s:15:"Chef/First mate";s:15:"yachtCrew3Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew4Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew5Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew6Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew7Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew8Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew9Title";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtCrew10Title";s:0:"";s:9:"yachtFlag";s:13:"United States";s:13:"yachtHomePort";s:50:"Virgin Islands / Grenadines / Windwards / Leewards";s:14:"yachtWBasePort";s:16:"USVI / BVI / SXM";s:8:"yachtRig";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGrossTons";s:0:"";s:12:"yachtAcNight";s:2:"No";s:16:"yachtAcSurCharge";s:0:"";s:9:"yachtTubs";s:1:"0";s:20:"yachtLocationDetails";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtTerms";s:15:"Caribbean Terms";s:13:"yachtCaptOnly";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtSpecialCon";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtContracts";s:0:"";s:21:"yachtConsumptionUnits";s:10:"US Gall/Hr";s:10:"yachtRange";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtPermit";s:1:"1";s:12:"yachtLicense";s:1:"1";s:8:"yachtMca";s:1:"0";s:16:"yachtDeepSeaFish";s:2:"No";s:10:"yachtSatTv";s:2:"No";s:9:"yachtIpod";s:3:"Yes";s:10:"yachtVideo";s:2:"No";s:17:"yachtSailInstruct";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtInternet";s:12:"Onboard WIFI";s:16:"yachtCaptainOnly";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtBrokerNotes";s:180:"Owner - Sail Serenity LLC<br /> Owner Address - 3422 Old Capitol Trail, Suite 700, Wilmington, DE 19808<br /> Official Number - 1331578<br /> Flag - USA<br /> Port - Wilmington";s:10:"yachtNumGC";i:20;s:13:"yachtGC1Title";s:30:"Beyond Exceptional Experience!";s:8:"yachtGC1";s:285:"Excellent job by Captain Tim and Chef Nikki!!!

Tim, the captain, and Nikki, the gourmet chef, are simply the best. They are a beautiful and service-minded couple! Tim’s sailing skills and expertise in docking the boat were most impressive. Nikki’s superb cooking was to everybody’s liking. My highlight of each day was when i asked Nikki "what’s for lunch today?" and her answers were always mouthwatering. Tim's cocktail-making talent was also superb—his Bloody Mary surpassed the famous one served by the Wolseley restaurant in London! The Serenity (48’ Catamaran) was a wonderful home for our week in the BVI. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and it had a bunch of fun water toys, which we enjoyed each day.

The Serenity was a beautiful vessel and Brooke handled it as true professional. When we had some tough weather or A/C technical issues, we never lost confidence and comfort with Brooke at the helm. Kylie created some truly beautiful and delicious meals. And the desserts were just phenomenal. It was unbelievable what she could do in that small galley kitchen.<br /> <br /> Brooke and Kylie were so attentive and helpful; organizing activities and flexing our schedule as needed based on weather; arranging water and land taxis when needed; showing us the coolest spots on the islands. They joined us for a quite rainy dinner at Saba Rock and entertained us onboard with custom cocktails and games.<br /> <br /> It was really hard to say goodbye to these two new family members.";s:10:"yachtGC8P1";s:84:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests25169-1.jpg";s:10:"yachtGC8P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC8P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC9Title";s:30:"Smooth sailing on stormy seas!";s:8:"yachtGC9";s:1086:"Pool’s open….<br /> At the back of Serenity with Brooke and Kylie! What a treat to sail on with these amazing hard working young women! Captain Brooke is a steady, dedicated and capable breath of fresh air. Chef Kylie can whip up five star meals you can barely get in any restaurant. We asked for desserts… desserts we got and they were as innovative as they were beautiful and delicious!<br /> The yacht was gorgeous and pristine. Brooke runs a tight ship when it comes to maintaining our personal floating hotel. She is quick and efficient and manages everything as if with magic.<br /> Our sail week was unfortunately during some of the weirdest weather and Captain Brooke navigated us through it with aplomb! She was quick on her feet to find alternate sails and activities to keep us happy and busy!<br /> These young women handled several different personalities and needs with such grace and agility. So relaxing to be in the care of these two inspired and dedicated women.<br /> It was sad to say goodbye to my two new daughters!

Kylie and Jake are husband and wife and the crew of the Serenity and they went above and beyond to make our week aboard the brand new sailing cat one of our most luxurious vacations ever.<br /> <br /> The boat is extremely comfortable and well maintained to the best standards. Jake is a very professional captain but as a conductor of all our water activities, he made sure the kids (2 12 year old boys and a 10 year old girl) had an amazing time. The grown ups sometimes joined in - once we were able to put down that cocktail that was always delicious and dangerously easy to appear. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat - each meal a truly top notch dining experience. It was hard to believe that they were prepared in that galley that's smaller than most kitchens. The cabins were small as was expected but they very comfortable with queen sized beds - I had my best sleep in years during that week. Each of the 3 cabins had an attached bathroom and I cannot stress how important that was to our comfort levels. The boys decided to sleep in the bunk beds - those were tight but they didn't mind it at all. They used a 4th bathroom that was just outside the bunk bed space.<br /> <br /> Kylie and Jake were able to effortlessly guide us through our time on board - from suggesting destinations to sail to, to suggesting an itinerary, to making sure that everything that was needed to sail a boat with 9 people on board was taken care of without us noticing or worrying about a thing. The Serenity is a lovely boat and Kylie and Jake are a wonderful people and a hardworking and extremely friendly crew. We are 2 families who have sailed bareboat (without a crew) together before so we can appreciate the work that goes into making it seem effortless and worry free. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I hope I get an opportunity to sail with them again.";s:11:"yachtGC16P1";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC16P2";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC16P3";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGC17Title";s:18:"Amazing Experience";s:9:"yachtGC17";s:3193:"I wish I were a more eloquent writer, as I know this will not properly communicate the amazing week we had onboard Serenity with Jake and Kylie. Serenity is a beautiful boat—clean, new, lovely cabins. The BVI is an amazing place with so much to see. That being said, what made this trip an incredible, unforgettable experience was being with Captain Jake and Kylie. Jake is an accomplished captain, who made us feel immediately comfortable. He answered (a ridiculous amount of) questions, shared his knowledge of sailing and took us on so many unique adventures. We snorkeled, swam, saw beautiful beaches, hit up such fun beach bars. Every day was something new. We had two teenage boys that Jake did everything to help make the trip more exciting for. Our oldest wanted to fish—-so lines were out at every opportunity (even when he was sleeping). He coordinated efoil lessons on Saba Rock—which was totally his idea after meeting our kids (must do if interested in something out of the ordinary). We had a guided tour (with both Jake and Kylie) through the Baths (OMG beautiful!) and saw the most breathtaking views in St John. The kids (and husband) rode tubes behind dingy, Jake and Kylie showed the kids how to get the sails up to sail—-we just did it all. At NO point, did Jake seem to tire of requests—-he was there to make sure every moment was safe, exciting and enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Kylie welcomed us from the first moment with her warm smile, amazing food and cocktails/mocktails. We had more food than we could ever eat—-and each presentation was beautiful. After being on a beach or a snorkel, we would board the boat with a beautiful snack/drink combination. (The boys quietly told me they felt like celebrities every time this happened). Kylie had her hands full with our family—a food allergy and picky teenagers forced her to vary her dishes at every given meal, and she did with ease. Her homemade desserts were absolutely incredible—we are all still discussing her caramel dessert that we can’t remember the name of—but hails from her native South Africa. She did all the little things that go unnoticed, but make you feel so well take care of. Filling drinks while playing cards with family, putting things away—making sure we had sunscreen and bug spray. All those mom things that I ordinarily do—she had already done.<br /> <br /> On top of these two being an amazing, TOP notch crew, they are two of the most lovely people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Sharing a boat is a special, intimate experience and when we left, we all felt as if we were leaving family members behind. As a group, we laughed, played games at night, and enjoyed every bit of their company. We LOVED Serenity, we LOVED exploring the BVI, but our trip was MADE by this wonderful couple. We are already planning how we can sail with them again…and raving about them to anyone who asks. They are more than the ultimate professionals—they are two of the most special people we have had the privilege to spend time with. Anyone who is lucky enough to sail with them will be more than impressed.<br /> ";s:11:"yachtGC17P1";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC17P2";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC17P3";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGC18Title";s:16:"5/5 Amazing Trip";s:9:"yachtGC18";s:3143:"The trip was absolutely amazing. It had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but with the flexibility to go, do and see anything you wanted. The food and drinks were fantastic and plentiful and the captain and chef amazing. We cannot express how pleased we were by the entire experience from the initial booking with boats at Sea to the farewell goodbyes to Kylie and Jake!<br /> <br /> The yacht was beautiful and in great shape. It was her first paid charter, so the expectation was high and she exceeded our expectations in space and amenities and just how comfortable it was for a full week. We never felt crowded or ran out of things to do. We made everyone leave the electronics off for the week and with 12-, 16-, and 20-year-old sons, there wasn't a whisper of complaining. Of course our Captain, or should I say DJ Jake was jamming great tunes the whole time for our entertainment and honored every request!<br /> Captain Jake took our 3 sons tubing from the tender and I asked him to beat them up a little as they were professional tubers having tubed many summers in Northern Michigan. I was pleased to see strawberries on all of their elbows the next day from the tube and they agreed it was one of their best tube rides ever. We used the fishing poles daily and hooked into several Tarpon and a Barracuda out trolling. There was also a water wing, paddle boards and inflatable Kayak that all got used as well. The snorkel gear was heavily used!<br /> The food was incredible. Chef Kylie is a rockstar! I am a retired restaurant manager/chef and was very impressed with the variety, quality, and freshness of the cuisine. From the yogurt parfaits to start our mornings before the main breakfast course to the filet and shrimp dinner and all the snacks in between, we couldn't have asked for more! Everyone had their favorite meal prepared throughout the week and the cocktails to go along with the meals really hit the spot. Even our 12 and 16 year old boys had mocktails to match our cocktails and felt very included. Even at home they are asking for the "Jake Killer" our captain's version of the famous "Pain Killer"<br /> We let Jake to the planning and had no hard-set itinerary. It was extremely relaxing that way and all the pressure was on our captain to make sure he took us to the spots that he thought we would like best. After-all he is the expert, not us!<br /> <br /> Captain Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He shared facts about the islands and personal experiences about each and every place we saw and stopped at. He was as excited as we were when we came across underwater delights. He made sure we saw Lobster, turtles, rays and even an Eagle Ray, sharks, and every fish that was on the fish chart. He was sure to guide everyone to snorkeling that matched their skill set and made sure nobody felt uncomfortable. He was with us every step of the way, or in this case every stroke. He guided us to on-shore excursions as well and educated us so well that we felt like we had been there before. We cannot say enough about both Captain Jake and Chef Kylie....The Best!!

Our family of five (mom, dad and three boys ages 12, 16, 19) had such an amazing week on this luxurious and comfortable catamaran. Our hosts, Jake and Kylie were the perfect pairing for us and we thoroughly enjoyed their company! Not knowing a lot about the USVI, and only that we knew we'd like to focus on St. John to snorkel, explore and relax, we asked Jake and Kylie to take us to the places they liked most. Jake sailed us to some of the most beautiful bays, swam with us to great snorkel locations, took the kids tubing behind the dingy, and took us out for a day sail. Every day was filled with perfect amount of activity and relaxing. Can't list them all but a few favorites were snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay, a stop at Lime Out Taco Bar, Maho Beach and Salt Pond Bay when Kylie packed a wonderful beach bag for us with all the things we'd need for a few hours on the beach. They really are the most gracious hosts, eager to do everything to make your stay relaxing and feel completely taken care of. Kylie prepared wonderfully delicious and artful meals that I'm inspired to re-create. Snacks and fresh fruit were always on hand (necessary with 3 boys), and cocktails and mocktails were a very fun part of every day! The boys regularly requested the Jake Killer! Try it! Jake and Kylie are a great pair, they do it all from ensuring clean comfortable quarters to delicious and filling food and beverage, music requests, tours to any place you want to go, stories and history of the area, great directions for excursions, and just all around fun conversations. They made us feel like Serenity was our home for the week and we felt like family in a very short time! I can't say enough about this amazing vacation! We miss Jake and Kylie and would be thrilled to sail with them again to other places in the USVI, BVI or even beyond.

The boat is new, was quite comfortable and had more pillows than we knew what to do with. Jake is a knowledgeable Captain who made the trip fun for all especially the kids. Ask him to make you his specialty drink - the Jake Killer - you won’t be disappointed. Kiley, the chef and all around awesome person has cooking skills that far exceeded our expectations. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious - every single meal! Her cocktails and mocktails rocked too! Jake and Kiley were a great team, very accommodating and they really took great care of us!<br /> <br /> We explored many different islands, snorkeled, hiked, fished, did some water sports, relaxed on the beach and much more.

Captain Tim and Chef Nikki expertly hosted the 6 of us for a four night adventure in the USVI. Every day we woke to a delicious, healthy breakfast and Captain Tim would advise us of our day’s plan. Hopping from cove to cove we snorkeled, swam, and floated on the Sunchill. We’d enjoy Capt Tim’s cocktails (Painkillers were our favorite) and drool-worthy lunches. Our late afternoons typically consisted of more water time. One afternoon, Tim took us ashore to St John where we taxied to a great bar with beautiful views. After showers we’d gather for happy hour and Chef Nikki’s canapés. A fabulous dinner would await us where the food was not only picture-perfect but delectable! Tim and Nikki are a great team and I’d highly recommend this particular charter.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29761-1.jpg?1510379055'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29761-1.jpg?1510379055' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 2'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Outstanding crew and a perfect family trip!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Cannot speak highly enough of my experience on the Serenity! Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond accommodating and really made the trip so special. The crew worked every day to make sure we had the best vacation possible and even took the time to play board games with our whole family! Chef Nikki served the most incredible meals every day and was so conscious of different dietary needs/restrictions. Captain Tim not only expertly handled the boat from island to island but also organized fun activities and water sports every day. This was easily one of the best trips I've been on and it was largely due to the kindness and expertise of the crew. If you’re planning on booking a charter in the BVIs it absolutely has to be with this boat. My only regret is I wasn’t able to stay for longer!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29762-1.jpg?1510379055'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29762-1.jpg?1510379055' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 3'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Best trip with the best crew!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>This trip was so amazing it’s beyond words. Besides from the stunning water and views, Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond amazing. I truly believe the experience would not be what it was without them.

Beautiful water, the best crew, amazing marine life and stunning snorkeling made the perfect trip.

We suggested a sailing trip in the BVI, and they were all onboard for that idea. But not in my wildest dreams could I have expected such a fantastic vacation!! Tim, the captain, and Nikki, the gourmet chef, are simply the best. They are a beautiful and service-minded couple! Tim’s sailing skills and expertise in docking the boat were most impressive. Nikki’s superb cooking was to everybody’s liking. My highlight of each day was when i asked Nikki "what’s for lunch today?" and her answers were always mouthwatering. Tim's cocktail-making talent was also superb—his Bloody Mary surpassed the famous one served by the Wolseley restaurant in London! The Serenity (48’ Catamaran) was a wonderful home for our week in the BVI. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and it had a bunch of fun water toys, which we enjoyed each day. We are already dreaming about another trip (maybe later in the year, but definitely in 2026) on the Serenity with Tim and Nikki. But, as my husband said, he’s be happy to charter a dinghy if it were crewed by Tim and Nikki!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29764-1.jpg?1510379055'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29764-1.jpg?1510379055' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 5'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Serenity, Nikki, and Tim are the perfect combination!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Voyage of a lifetime. Nikki and Tim are …….. exceptional. It’s really hard to put into words the experience we were so fortunate to have. We saw the most spectacular sights, snorkeled the most amazing spots, did all the water sports we could fit in, and experienced the BVI on a beautiful catamaran. The yacht was comfortable, very well kept, and was in excellent shape.<br /> <br /> But the experience really was more than we could have ever bargained for because of Nikki and Tim. Tim made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. He plotted the days and evenings perfectly. We caught sunsets and woke up to the most beautiful views. He worked so hard to make sure my family enjoyed all the activities and filled our days. He always planned ahead. And Tim was so humble and really wanted our experience to be amazing by going the extra mile. He truly cared.<br /> <br /> Nikki……was the cherry on top. The meals were beyond amazing. She opened her heart to our 4 year old and bonded with our children. We woke up to healthy and delicious meals. And we finished the day with a spectacular dinner and desert. She also made us feel so warm and welcome. We instantly felt like our experience was going to be special the moment we came aboard and she greeted us with warmth and laughter.<br /> <br /> I cannot say this enough. Nikki and Tim were exceptional. Serenity is a special vacation on a special boat. Any family or friends trip will go home with a tear because they have to depart such a special couple and an unforgettable experience .<br /> <br /> Highly highly highly recommend.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29765-1.jpg?1510379055'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests29765-1.jpg?1510379055' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 6'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Book it!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>My family of 4 adults just had an amazing week with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie on Serenity. Due to winter weather, we had delays with two of our arrivals and Brooke and Kylie had it all worked out to accommodate late arrivals and alternate pickup locations. Adjustment were made in our itinerary to get us to our requested destinations as well as the locations that Captain Brooke knew would be good sailing for the weather that we had. The food was amazing at every meal and we had more than we could have possibly eaten. Cold drinks to satisfy a wide range of tastes were available and Kylie went out of her way to fulfill a few non-traditional tastes! Game nights with the crew, dinner together at Saba Rock, trips ashore…Brooke and Kaylie became our extended family for the week and we had so much fun. Serenity is a beautiful yacht with comfortable seating and sleeping. She is kept in top shape and is very comfortable to sail aboard. This was our first charter vacation, and our entire family felt like it was the best vacation that we had ever been on. I can’t give enough credit to Brooke and Kylie for a tremendous week in the BVI! Leave your options open on your preference sheet and you will not be disappointed with the trip that this crew puts together for you. Happy sailing!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests25170-1.jpg?1510379055'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests25170-1.jpg?1510379055' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 7'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Can't go wrong with Brooke and Kylie</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Wow, what a blast we had on the Catamaran charter with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie! The Serenity was a beautiful vessel and Brooke handled it as true professional. When we had some tough weather or A/C technical issues, we never lost confidence and comfort with Brooke at the helm. Kylie created some truly beautiful and delicious meals. And the desserts were just phenomenal. It was unbelievable what she could do in that small galley kitchen.<br /> <br /> Brooke and Kylie were so attentive and helpful; organizing activities and flexing our schedule as needed based on weather; arranging water and land taxis when needed; showing us the coolest spots on the islands. They joined us for a quite rainy dinner at Saba Rock and entertained us onboard with custom cocktails and games.<br /> <br /> It was really hard to say goodbye to these two new family members.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests25169-1.jpg?1510379055'><span></span><img src='https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7917/7917guests25169-1.jpg?1510379055' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 8'></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Smooth sailing on stormy seas!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Pool’s open….<br /> At the back of Serenity with Brooke and Kylie! What a treat to sail on with these amazing hard working young women! Captain Brooke is a steady, dedicated and capable breath of fresh air. Chef Kylie can whip up five star meals you can barely get in any restaurant. We asked for desserts… desserts we got and they were as innovative as they were beautiful and delicious!<br /> The yacht was gorgeous and pristine. Brooke runs a tight ship when it comes to maintaining our personal floating hotel. She is quick and efficient and manages everything as if with magic.<br /> Our sail week was unfortunately during some of the weirdest weather and Captain Brooke navigated us through it with aplomb! She was quick on her feet to find alternate sails and activities to keep us happy and busy!<br /> These young women handled several different personalities and needs with such grace and agility. So relaxing to be in the care of these two inspired and dedicated women.<br /> It was sad to say goodbye to my two new daughters!

Highly highly recommended!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Above and beyond any of our expectations</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>From the welcoming glasses of sparkling wine when we stepped aboard for the first time to the amazing water activities to the delicious food that was 5 star quality in variety, taste and presentation, to the expert guidance around the waters of the BVI and the USVI, we were continuously wowed by the crew of the Serenity. Kylie and Jake are husband and wife and the crew of the Serenity and they went above and beyond to make our week aboard the brand new sailing cat one of our most luxurious vacations ever.<br /> <br /> The boat is extremely comfortable and well maintained to the best standards. Jake is a very professional captain but as a conductor of all our water activities, he made sure the kids (2 12 year old boys and a 10 year old girl) had an amazing time. The grown ups sometimes joined in - once we were able to put down that cocktail that was always delicious and dangerously easy to appear. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat - each meal a truly top notch dining experience. It was hard to believe that they were prepared in that galley that's smaller than most kitchens. The cabins were small as was expected but they very comfortable with queen sized beds - I had my best sleep in years during that week. Each of the 3 cabins had an attached bathroom and I cannot stress how important that was to our comfort levels. The boys decided to sleep in the bunk beds - those were tight but they didn't mind it at all. They used a 4th bathroom that was just outside the bunk bed space.<br /> <br /> Kylie and Jake were able to effortlessly guide us through our time on board - from suggesting destinations to sail to, to suggesting an itinerary, to making sure that everything that was needed to sail a boat with 9 people on board was taken care of without us noticing or worrying about a thing. The Serenity is a lovely boat and Kylie and Jake are a wonderful people and a hardworking and extremely friendly crew. We are 2 families who have sailed bareboat (without a crew) together before so we can appreciate the work that goes into making it seem effortless and worry free. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I hope I get an opportunity to sail with them again.</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Amazing Experience</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>I wish I were a more eloquent writer, as I know this will not properly communicate the amazing week we had onboard Serenity with Jake and Kylie. Serenity is a beautiful boat—clean, new, lovely cabins. The BVI is an amazing place with so much to see. That being said, what made this trip an incredible, unforgettable experience was being with Captain Jake and Kylie. Jake is an accomplished captain, who made us feel immediately comfortable. He answered (a ridiculous amount of) questions, shared his knowledge of sailing and took us on so many unique adventures. We snorkeled, swam, saw beautiful beaches, hit up such fun beach bars. Every day was something new. We had two teenage boys that Jake did everything to help make the trip more exciting for. Our oldest wanted to fish—-so lines were out at every opportunity (even when he was sleeping). He coordinated efoil lessons on Saba Rock—which was totally his idea after meeting our kids (must do if interested in something out of the ordinary). We had a guided tour (with both Jake and Kylie) through the Baths (OMG beautiful!) and saw the most breathtaking views in St John. The kids (and husband) rode tubes behind dingy, Jake and Kylie showed the kids how to get the sails up to sail—-we just did it all. At NO point, did Jake seem to tire of requests—-he was there to make sure every moment was safe, exciting and enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Kylie welcomed us from the first moment with her warm smile, amazing food and cocktails/mocktails. We had more food than we could ever eat—-and each presentation was beautiful. After being on a beach or a snorkel, we would board the boat with a beautiful snack/drink combination. (The boys quietly told me they felt like celebrities every time this happened). Kylie had her hands full with our family—a food allergy and picky teenagers forced her to vary her dishes at every given meal, and she did with ease. Her homemade desserts were absolutely incredible—we are all still discussing her caramel dessert that we can’t remember the name of—but hails from her native South Africa. She did all the little things that go unnoticed, but make you feel so well take care of. Filling drinks while playing cards with family, putting things away—making sure we had sunscreen and bug spray. All those mom things that I ordinarily do—she had already done.<br /> <br /> On top of these two being an amazing, TOP notch crew, they are two of the most lovely people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Sharing a boat is a special, intimate experience and when we left, we all felt as if we were leaving family members behind. As a group, we laughed, played games at night, and enjoyed every bit of their company. We LOVED Serenity, we LOVED exploring the BVI, but our trip was MADE by this wonderful couple. We are already planning how we can sail with them again…and raving about them to anyone who asks. They are more than the ultimate professionals—they are two of the most special people we have had the privilege to spend time with. Anyone who is lucky enough to sail with them will be more than impressed.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>5/5 Amazing Trip</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>The trip was absolutely amazing. It had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but with the flexibility to go, do and see anything you wanted. The food and drinks were fantastic and plentiful and the captain and chef amazing. We cannot express how pleased we were by the entire experience from the initial booking with boats at Sea to the farewell goodbyes to Kylie and Jake!<br /> <br /> The yacht was beautiful and in great shape. It was her first paid charter, so the expectation was high and she exceeded our expectations in space and amenities and just how comfortable it was for a full week. We never felt crowded or ran out of things to do. We made everyone leave the electronics off for the week and with 12-, 16-, and 20-year-old sons, there wasn't a whisper of complaining. Of course our Captain, or should I say DJ Jake was jamming great tunes the whole time for our entertainment and honored every request!<br /> Captain Jake took our 3 sons tubing from the tender and I asked him to beat them up a little as they were professional tubers having tubed many summers in Northern Michigan. I was pleased to see strawberries on all of their elbows the next day from the tube and they agreed it was one of their best tube rides ever. We used the fishing poles daily and hooked into several Tarpon and a Barracuda out trolling. There was also a water wing, paddle boards and inflatable Kayak that all got used as well. The snorkel gear was heavily used!<br /> The food was incredible. Chef Kylie is a rockstar! I am a retired restaurant manager/chef and was very impressed with the variety, quality, and freshness of the cuisine. From the yogurt parfaits to start our mornings before the main breakfast course to the filet and shrimp dinner and all the snacks in between, we couldn't have asked for more! Everyone had their favorite meal prepared throughout the week and the cocktails to go along with the meals really hit the spot. Even our 12 and 16 year old boys had mocktails to match our cocktails and felt very included. Even at home they are asking for the "Jake Killer" our captain's version of the famous "Pain Killer"<br /> We let Jake to the planning and had no hard-set itinerary. It was extremely relaxing that way and all the pressure was on our captain to make sure he took us to the spots that he thought we would like best. After-all he is the expert, not us!<br /> <br /> Captain Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He shared facts about the islands and personal experiences about each and every place we saw and stopped at. He was as excited as we were when we came across underwater delights. He made sure we saw Lobster, turtles, rays and even an Eagle Ray, sharks, and every fish that was on the fish chart. He was sure to guide everyone to snorkeling that matched their skill set and made sure nobody felt uncomfortable. He was with us every step of the way, or in this case every stroke. He guided us to on-shore excursions as well and educated us so well that we felt like we had been there before. We cannot say enough about both Captain Jake and Chef Kylie....The Best!! </div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>Dream Vacation Come True</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>"Truly the trip of my dreams! Our family of five (mom, dad and three boys ages 12, 16, 19) had such an amazing week on this luxurious and comfortable catamaran. Our hosts, Jake and Kylie were the perfect pairing for us and we thoroughly enjoyed their company! Not knowing a lot about the USVI, and only that we knew we'd like to focus on St. John to snorkel, explore and relax, we asked Jake and Kylie to take us to the places they liked most. Jake sailed us to some of the most beautiful bays, swam with us to great snorkel locations, took the kids tubing behind the dingy, and took us out for a day sail. Every day was filled with perfect amount of activity and relaxing. Can't list them all but a few favorites were snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay, a stop at Lime Out Taco Bar, Maho Beach and Salt Pond Bay when Kylie packed a wonderful beach bag for us with all the things we'd need for a few hours on the beach. They really are the most gracious hosts, eager to do everything to make your stay relaxing and feel completely taken care of. Kylie prepared wonderfully delicious and artful meals that I'm inspired to re-create. Snacks and fresh fruit were always on hand (necessary with 3 boys), and cocktails and mocktails were a very fun part of every day! The boys regularly requested the Jake Killer! Try it! Jake and Kylie are a great pair, they do it all from ensuring clean comfortable quarters to delicious and filling food and beverage, music requests, tours to any place you want to go, stories and history of the area, great directions for excursions, and just all around fun conversations. They made us feel like Serenity was our home for the week and we felt like family in a very short time! I can't say enough about this amazing vacation! We miss Jake and Kylie and would be thrilled to sail with them again to other places in the USVI, BVI or even beyond. You will love your stay on Serenity with Jake and Kylie-beautiful souls!"</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:center;background:#CCCCCC;font-weight:bold;'>An amazing wonderful vacation</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>"Sailing though the BVI on Serenity was fabulous. The boat is new, was quite comfortable and had more pillows than we knew what to do with. Jake is a knowledgeable Captain who made the trip fun for all especially the kids. Ask him to make you his specialty drink - the Jake Killer - you won’t be disappointed. Kiley, the chef and all around awesome person has cooking skills that far exceeded our expectations. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious - every single meal! Her cocktails and mocktails rocked too! Jake and Kiley were a great team, very accommodating and they really took great care of us!<br /> <br /> We explored many different islands, snorkeled, hiked, fished, did some water sports, relaxed on the beach and much more. The sunsets were breathtaking. I would take this trip, with Jake and Kiley, again in a heartbeat."</div><div class='clr'></div> </div><div class='clr'></div><br><div class='ebrmenu'><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/1///'>Home</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/2///'>More photos</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/3///'>Specs</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/5///'>Crew</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/M///'>Sample Menu</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/G///'>Guest Comments</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/4///'>Rates</a></div><div class='ebmenuitem'><a class='dc_c3b_large dc_c3b_blue dc_button dc_c3b_download' href='https://www.cyabrochure.com/ebn/2395/pdhaX/7917/V///'>Videos</a></div></div><span class='stretcher'></span> </div> </body> </html>

Hopping from cove to cove we snorkeled, swam, and floated on the Sunchill. We’d enjoy Capt Tim’s cocktails (Painkillers were our favorite) and drool-worthy lunches. Our late afternoons typically consisted of more water time. One afternoon, Tim took us ashore to St John where we taxied to a great bar with beautiful views. After showers we’d gather for happy hour and Chef Nikki’s canapés. A fabulous dinner would await us where the food was not only picture-perfect but delectable!

Captain Tim and Chef Nikki were beyond accommodating and really made the trip so special. The crew worked every day to make sure we had the best vacation possible and even took the time to play board games with our whole family! Chef Nikki served the most incredible meals every day and was so conscious of different dietary needs/restrictions. Captain Tim not only expertly handled the boat from island to island but also organized fun activities and water sports every day. This was easily one of the best trips I've been on and it was largely due to the kindness and expertise of the crew. If you’re planning on booking a charter in the BVIs it absolutely has to be with this boat.

We suggested a sailing trip in the BVI, and they were all onboard for that idea. But not in my wildest dreams could I have expected such a fantastic vacation!! Tim, the captain, and Nikki, the gourmet chef, are simply the best. They are a beautiful and service-minded couple! Tim’s sailing skills and expertise in docking the boat were most impressive. Nikki’s superb cooking was to everybody’s liking. My highlight of each day was when i asked Nikki "what’s for lunch today?" and her answers were always mouthwatering. Tim's cocktail-making talent was also superb—his Bloody Mary surpassed the famous one served by the Wolseley restaurant in London! The Serenity (48’ Catamaran) was a wonderful home for our week in the BVI. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and it had a bunch of fun water toys, which we enjoyed each day. We are already dreaming about another trip (maybe later in the year, but definitely in 2026) on the Serenity with Tim and Nikki. But, as my husband said, he’s be happy to charter a dinghy if it were crewed by Tim and Nikki!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29764-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 5 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29764-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 7" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Serenity, Nikki, and Tim are the perfect combination!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Voyage of a lifetime. Nikki and Tim are …….. exceptional. It’s really hard to put into words the experience we were so fortunate to have. We saw the most spectacular sights, snorkeled the most amazing spots, did all the water sports we could fit in, and experienced the BVI on a beautiful catamaran. The yacht was comfortable, very well kept, and was in excellent shape.<br /> <br /> But the experience really was more than we could have ever bargained for because of Nikki and Tim. Tim made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. He plotted the days and evenings perfectly. We caught sunsets and woke up to the most beautiful views. He worked so hard to make sure my family enjoyed all the activities and filled our days. He always planned ahead. And Tim was so humble and really wanted our experience to be amazing by going the extra mile. He truly cared.<br /> <br /> Nikki……was the cherry on top. The meals were beyond amazing. She opened her heart to our 4 year old and bonded with our children. We woke up to healthy and delicious meals. And we finished the day with a spectacular dinner and desert. She also made us feel so warm and welcome. We instantly felt like our experience was going to be special the moment we came aboard and she greeted us with warmth and laughter.<br /> <br /> I cannot say this enough. Nikki and Tim were exceptional. Serenity is a special vacation on a special boat. Any family or friends trip will go home with a tear because they have to depart such a special couple and an unforgettable experience .<br /> <br /> Highly highly highly recommend.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29765-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 6 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29765-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 8" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Book it!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>My family of 4 adults just had an amazing week with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie on Serenity. Due to winter weather, we had delays with two of our arrivals and Brooke and Kylie had it all worked out to accommodate late arrivals and alternate pickup locations. Adjustment were made in our itinerary to get us to our requested destinations as well as the locations that Captain Brooke knew would be good sailing for the weather that we had. The food was amazing at every meal and we had more than we could have possibly eaten. Cold drinks to satisfy a wide range of tastes were available and Kylie went out of her way to fulfill a few non-traditional tastes! Game nights with the crew, dinner together at Saba Rock, trips ashore…Brooke and Kaylie became our extended family for the week and we had so much fun. Serenity is a beautiful yacht with comfortable seating and sleeping. She is kept in top shape and is very comfortable to sail aboard. This was our first charter vacation, and our entire family felt like it was the best vacation that we had ever been on. I can’t give enough credit to Brooke and Kylie for a tremendous week in the BVI! Leave your options open on your preference sheet and you will not be disappointed with the trip that this crew puts together for you.

Kylie created some truly beautiful and delicious meals. And the desserts were just phenomenal. It was unbelievable what she could do in that small galley kitchen.<br /> <br /> Brooke and Kylie were so attentive and helpful; organizing activities and flexing our schedule as needed based on weather; arranging water and land taxis when needed; showing us the coolest spots on the islands. They joined us for a quite rainy dinner at Saba Rock and entertained us onboard with custom cocktails and games.<br /> <br /> It was really hard to say goodbye to these two new family members.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25169-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 8 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25169-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 10" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Smooth sailing on stormy seas!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Pool’s open….<br /> At the back of Serenity with Brooke and Kylie!

Chef Kylie can whip up five star meals you can barely get in any restaurant. We asked for desserts… desserts we got and they were as innovative as they were beautiful and delicious!<br /> The yacht was gorgeous and pristine. Brooke runs a tight ship when it comes to maintaining our personal floating hotel. She is quick and efficient and manages everything as if with magic.<br /> Our sail week was unfortunately during some of the weirdest weather and Captain Brooke navigated us through it with aplomb! She was quick on her feet to find alternate sails and activities to keep us happy and busy!<br /> These young women handled several different personalities and needs with such grace and agility. So relaxing to be in the care of these two inspired and dedicated women.<br /> It was sad to say goodbye to my two new daughters!

Kylie and Jake are husband and wife and the crew of the Serenity and they went above and beyond to make our week aboard the brand new sailing cat one of our most luxurious vacations ever.<br /> <br /> The boat is extremely comfortable and well maintained to the best standards. Jake is a very professional captain but as a conductor of all our water activities, he made sure the kids (2 12 year old boys and a 10 year old girl) had an amazing time. The grown ups sometimes joined in - once we were able to put down that cocktail that was always delicious and dangerously easy to appear. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat - each meal a truly top notch dining experience. It was hard to believe that they were prepared in that galley that's smaller than most kitchens. The cabins were small as was expected but they very comfortable with queen sized beds - I had my best sleep in years during that week. Each of the 3 cabins had an attached bathroom and I cannot stress how important that was to our comfort levels. The boys decided to sleep in the bunk beds - those were tight but they didn't mind it at all. They used a 4th bathroom that was just outside the bunk bed space.<br /> <br /> Kylie and Jake were able to effortlessly guide us through our time on board - from suggesting destinations to sail to, to suggesting an itinerary, to making sure that everything that was needed to sail a boat with 9 people on board was taken care of without us noticing or worrying about a thing. The Serenity is a lovely boat and Kylie and Jake are a wonderful people and a hardworking and extremely friendly crew. We are 2 families who have sailed bareboat (without a crew) together before so we can appreciate the work that goes into making it seem effortless and worry free. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I hope I get an opportunity to sail with them again.</div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 18" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Amazing Experience</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>I wish I were a more eloquent writer, as I know this will not properly communicate the amazing week we had onboard Serenity with Jake and Kylie. Serenity is a beautiful boat—clean, new, lovely cabins. The BVI is an amazing place with so much to see. That being said, what made this trip an incredible, unforgettable experience was being with Captain Jake and Kylie. Jake is an accomplished captain, who made us feel immediately comfortable. He answered (a ridiculous amount of) questions, shared his knowledge of sailing and took us on so many unique adventures. We snorkeled, swam, saw beautiful beaches, hit up such fun beach bars. Every day was something new. We had two teenage boys that Jake did everything to help make the trip more exciting for. Our oldest wanted to fish—-so lines were out at every opportunity (even when he was sleeping). He coordinated efoil lessons on Saba Rock—which was totally his idea after meeting our kids (must do if interested in something out of the ordinary). We had a guided tour (with both Jake and Kylie) through the Baths (OMG beautiful!) and saw the most breathtaking views in St John. The kids (and husband) rode tubes behind dingy, Jake and Kylie showed the kids how to get the sails up to sail—-we just did it all. At NO point, did Jake seem to tire of requests—-he was there to make sure every moment was safe, exciting and enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Kylie welcomed us from the first moment with her warm smile, amazing food and cocktails/mocktails. We had more food than we could ever eat—-and each presentation was beautiful. After being on a beach or a snorkel, we would board the boat with a beautiful snack/drink combination. (The boys quietly told me they felt like celebrities every time this happened). Kylie had her hands full with our family—a food allergy and picky teenagers forced her to vary her dishes at every given meal, and she did with ease. Her homemade desserts were absolutely incredible—we are all still discussing her caramel dessert that we can’t remember the name of—but hails from her native South Africa. She did all the little things that go unnoticed, but make you feel so well take care of. Filling drinks while playing cards with family, putting things away—making sure we had sunscreen and bug spray. All those mom things that I ordinarily do—she had already done.<br /> <br /> On top of these two being an amazing, TOP notch crew, they are two of the most lovely people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Sharing a boat is a special, intimate experience and when we left, we all felt as if we were leaving family members behind. As a group, we laughed, played games at night, and enjoyed every bit of their company. We LOVED Serenity, we LOVED exploring the BVI, but our trip was MADE by this wonderful couple. We are already planning how we can sail with them again…and raving about them to anyone who asks. They are more than the ultimate professionals—they are two of the most special people we have had the privilege to spend time with. Anyone who is lucky enough to sail with them will be more than impressed.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 19" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>5/5 Amazing Trip</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>The trip was absolutely amazing. It had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but with the flexibility to go, do and see anything you wanted. The food and drinks were fantastic and plentiful and the captain and chef amazing. We cannot express how pleased we were by the entire experience from the initial booking with boats at Sea to the farewell goodbyes to Kylie and Jake!<br /> <br /> The yacht was beautiful and in great shape. It was her first paid charter, so the expectation was high and she exceeded our expectations in space and amenities and just how comfortable it was for a full week. We never felt crowded or ran out of things to do. We made everyone leave the electronics off for the week and with 12-, 16-, and 20-year-old sons, there wasn't a whisper of complaining. Of course our Captain, or should I say DJ Jake was jamming great tunes the whole time for our entertainment and honored every request!<br /> Captain Jake took our 3 sons tubing from the tender and I asked him to beat them up a little as they were professional tubers having tubed many summers in Northern Michigan. I was pleased to see strawberries on all of their elbows the next day from the tube and they agreed it was one of their best tube rides ever. We used the fishing poles daily and hooked into several Tarpon and a Barracuda out trolling. There was also a water wing, paddle boards and inflatable Kayak that all got used as well. The snorkel gear was heavily used!<br /> The food was incredible. Chef Kylie is a rockstar! I am a retired restaurant manager/chef and was very impressed with the variety, quality, and freshness of the cuisine. From the yogurt parfaits to start our mornings before the main breakfast course to the filet and shrimp dinner and all the snacks in between, we couldn't have asked for more! Everyone had their favorite meal prepared throughout the week and the cocktails to go along with the meals really hit the spot. Even our 12 and 16 year old boys had mocktails to match our cocktails and felt very included. Even at home they are asking for the "Jake Killer" our captain's version of the famous "Pain Killer"<br /> We let Jake to the planning and had no hard-set itinerary. It was extremely relaxing that way and all the pressure was on our captain to make sure he took us to the spots that he thought we would like best. After-all he is the expert, not us!<br /> <br /> Captain Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He shared facts about the islands and personal experiences about each and every place we saw and stopped at. He was as excited as we were when we came across underwater delights. He made sure we saw Lobster, turtles, rays and even an Eagle Ray, sharks, and every fish that was on the fish chart. He was sure to guide everyone to snorkeling that matched their skill set and made sure nobody felt uncomfortable. He was with us every step of the way, or in this case every stroke. He guided us to on-shore excursions as well and educated us so well that we felt like we had been there before. We cannot say enough about both Captain Jake and Chef Kylie....The Best!! </div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 20" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Dream Vacation Come True</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>"Truly the trip of my dreams! Our family of five (mom, dad and three boys ages 12, 16, 19) had such an amazing week on this luxurious and comfortable catamaran. Our hosts, Jake and Kylie were the perfect pairing for us and we thoroughly enjoyed their company! Not knowing a lot about the USVI, and only that we knew we'd like to focus on St. John to snorkel, explore and relax, we asked Jake and Kylie to take us to the places they liked most. Jake sailed us to some of the most beautiful bays, swam with us to great snorkel locations, took the kids tubing behind the dingy, and took us out for a day sail. Every day was filled with perfect amount of activity and relaxing. Can't list them all but a few favorites were snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay, a stop at Lime Out Taco Bar, Maho Beach and Salt Pond Bay when Kylie packed a wonderful beach bag for us with all the things we'd need for a few hours on the beach. They really are the most gracious hosts, eager to do everything to make your stay relaxing and feel completely taken care of. Kylie prepared wonderfully delicious and artful meals that I'm inspired to re-create. Snacks and fresh fruit were always on hand (necessary with 3 boys), and cocktails and mocktails were a very fun part of every day! The boys regularly requested the Jake Killer! Try it! Jake and Kylie are a great pair, they do it all from ensuring clean comfortable quarters to delicious and filling food and beverage, music requests, tours to any place you want to go, stories and history of the area, great directions for excursions, and just all around fun conversations. They made us feel like Serenity was our home for the week and we felt like family in a very short time! I can't say enough about this amazing vacation! We miss Jake and Kylie and would be thrilled to sail with them again to other places in the USVI, BVI or even beyond. You will love your stay on Serenity with Jake and Kylie-beautiful souls!"</div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 21" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>An amazing wonderful vacation</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>"Sailing though the BVI on Serenity was fabulous. The boat is new, was quite comfortable and had more pillows than we knew what to do with. Jake is a knowledgeable Captain who made the trip fun for all especially the kids. Ask him to make you his specialty drink - the Jake Killer - you won’t be disappointed. Kiley, the chef and all around awesome person has cooking skills that far exceeded our expectations. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious - every single meal! Her cocktails and mocktails rocked too! Jake and Kiley were a great team, very accommodating and they really took great care of us!<br /> <br /> We explored many different islands, snorkeled, hiked, fished, did some water sports, relaxed on the beach and much more. The sunsets were breathtaking. I would take this trip, with Jake and Kiley, again in a heartbeat."</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> </div>

Always looking for an adventure I enjoyed exploring high mountain ranges and being a part of my parents environmental beekeeping company. However after matriculating I looked for a new adventure which led me to travel down to the West Coast and I found my attraction to the ocean. While doing my courses I indulged myself in all aspects of the water world, from jet-ski charters to absolutely loving water sports, and my personal favorite, chasing rogue seals off of old abandoned yachts that I revamped. Since then I have worked aboard a whole plethora of catamarans and chartered in beautiful waters such as Greece, Croatia and even went through the Corinth Canal but BVI takes the cake as I love all the beautiful snorkeling spots & countless opportunities to explore. After my deckhand role I noticed that my love for adventure has linked with charter hosting as I am able to share all the hidden gems, stories and history of the BVI (and many other islands) with our guests in the capacity of a Captain or as Nikki likes to say, CapTim. <br /> <br /> Hi, I am your Chef, Nikki :)<br /> <br /> I was born into a Portuguese/South African household and grew up in the farming lands of South Africa. I spent my younger years going to my grandparents farm to help them take care of their animals and would often find myself close to a musical instrument. After high school I decided to pursue a diploma in veterinary sciences all while taking up an opportunity in a beauty clinic. After achieving my diploma and meeting Timothy I traveled to the coast to start my yachting courses in hopes to work alongside him. Not long after we were recruited to work upon a catamaran as sole stewardess and deckhand alongside a Captain and Chef couple. We provided luxury charters in beautiful waters such as Antigua, Croatia, Greece , BVI and MANY MORE. As we were chartering I soon found my love for cooking food and saw the happiness that it brings to guests. I decided to pursue a culinary path of my own.<br /> I hope to wow my guests with decorative platings mixed with hearty food and smiles.<br /> <br /> We look forward to welcoming you aboard, create lasting memories and showcase our abilities to host, cook and entertainment upon your charter yacht, Serenity!<br /> <br /> </p></div> </div> </div> </div>

Captain Tim and Chef Nikki expertly hosted the 6 of us for a four night adventure in the USVI. Every day we woke to a delicious, healthy breakfast and Captain Tim would advise us of our day’s plan. Hopping from cove to cove we snorkeled, swam, and floated on the Sunchill. We’d enjoy Capt Tim’s cocktails (Painkillers were our favorite) and drool-worthy lunches. Our late afternoons typically consisted of more water time. One afternoon, Tim took us ashore to St John where we taxied to a great bar with beautiful views. After showers we’d gather for happy hour and Chef Nikki’s canapés. A fabulous dinner would await us where the food was not only picture-perfect but delectable!

Chef Nikki served the most incredible meals every day and was so conscious of different dietary needs/restrictions. Captain Tim not only expertly handled the boat from island to island but also organized fun activities and water sports every day. This was easily one of the best trips I've been on and it was largely due to the kindness and expertise of the crew.

We suggested a sailing trip in the BVI, and they were all onboard for that idea. But not in my wildest dreams could I have expected such a fantastic vacation!! Tim, the captain, and Nikki, the gourmet chef, are simply the best. They are a beautiful and service-minded couple! Tim’s sailing skills and expertise in docking the boat were most impressive. Nikki’s superb cooking was to everybody’s liking. My highlight of each day was when i asked Nikki "what’s for lunch today?" and her answers were always mouthwatering. Tim's cocktail-making talent was also superb—his Bloody Mary surpassed the famous one served by the Wolseley restaurant in London! The Serenity (48’ Catamaran) was a wonderful home for our week in the BVI. It was extremely clean and comfortable, and it had a bunch of fun water toys, which we enjoyed each day. We are already dreaming about another trip (maybe later in the year, but definitely in 2026) on the Serenity with Tim and Nikki. But, as my husband said, he’s be happy to charter a dinghy if it were crewed by Tim and Nikki!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29764-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 5 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29764-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 7" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Serenity, Nikki, and Tim are the perfect combination!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Voyage of a lifetime. Nikki and Tim are …….. exceptional. It’s really hard to put into words the experience we were so fortunate to have. We saw the most spectacular sights, snorkeled the most amazing spots, did all the water sports we could fit in, and experienced the BVI on a beautiful catamaran. The yacht was comfortable, very well kept, and was in excellent shape.<br /> <br /> But the experience really was more than we could have ever bargained for because of Nikki and Tim. Tim made sure we were in the right spots at the right time. He plotted the days and evenings perfectly. We caught sunsets and woke up to the most beautiful views. He worked so hard to make sure my family enjoyed all the activities and filled our days. He always planned ahead. And Tim was so humble and really wanted our experience to be amazing by going the extra mile. He truly cared.<br /> <br /> Nikki……was the cherry on top. The meals were beyond amazing. She opened her heart to our 4 year old and bonded with our children. We woke up to healthy and delicious meals. And we finished the day with a spectacular dinner and desert. She also made us feel so warm and welcome. We instantly felt like our experience was going to be special the moment we came aboard and she greeted us with warmth and laughter.<br /> <br /> I cannot say this enough. Nikki and Tim were exceptional. Serenity is a special vacation on a special boat. Any family or friends trip will go home with a tear because they have to depart such a special couple and an unforgettable experience .<br /> <br /> Highly highly highly recommend.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29765-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 6 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests29765-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 8" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Book it!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>My family of 4 adults just had an amazing week with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie on Serenity. Due to winter weather, we had delays with two of our arrivals and Brooke and Kylie had it all worked out to accommodate late arrivals and alternate pickup locations. Adjustment were made in our itinerary to get us to our requested destinations as well as the locations that Captain Brooke knew would be good sailing for the weather that we had. The food was amazing at every meal and we had more than we could have possibly eaten. Cold drinks to satisfy a wide range of tastes were available and Kylie went out of her way to fulfill a few non-traditional tastes! Game nights with the crew, dinner together at Saba Rock, trips ashore…Brooke and Kaylie became our extended family for the week and we had so much fun. Serenity is a beautiful yacht with comfortable seating and sleeping. She is kept in top shape and is very comfortable to sail aboard. This was our first charter vacation, and our entire family felt like it was the best vacation that we had ever been on. I can’t give enough credit to Brooke and Kylie for a tremendous week in the BVI! Leave your options open on your preference sheet and you will not be disappointed with the trip that this crew puts together for you. Happy sailing!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25170-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 7 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25170-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 9" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Can't go wrong with Brooke and Kylie</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Wow, what a blast we had on the Catamaran charter with Captain Brooke and Chef Kylie! The Serenity was a beautiful vessel and Brooke handled it as true professional. When we had some tough weather or A/C technical issues, we never lost confidence and comfort with Brooke at the helm. Kylie created some truly beautiful and delicious meals. And the desserts were just phenomenal. It was unbelievable what she could do in that small galley kitchen.<br /> <br /> Brooke and Kylie were so attentive and helpful; organizing activities and flexing our schedule as needed based on weather; arranging water and land taxis when needed; showing us the coolest spots on the islands. They joined us for a quite rainy dinner at Saba Rock and entertained us onboard with custom cocktails and games.<br /> <br /> It was really hard to say goodbye to these two new family members.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25169-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 8 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25169-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 10" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Smooth sailing on stormy seas!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Pool’s open….<br /> At the back of Serenity with Brooke and Kylie! What a treat to sail on with these amazing hard working young women! Captain Brooke is a steady, dedicated and capable breath of fresh air. Chef Kylie can whip up five star meals you can barely get in any restaurant. We asked for desserts… desserts we got and they were as innovative as they were beautiful and delicious!<br /> The yacht was gorgeous and pristine. Brooke runs a tight ship when it comes to maintaining our personal floating hotel. She is quick and efficient and manages everything as if with magic.<br /> Our sail week was unfortunately during some of the weirdest weather and Captain Brooke navigated us through it with aplomb! She was quick on her feet to find alternate sails and activities to keep us happy and busy!<br /> These young women handled several different personalities and needs with such grace and agility. So relaxing to be in the care of these two inspired and dedicated women.<br /> It was sad to say goodbye to my two new daughters! May we sail again soon!</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7917]' title='' href='/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25168-1large.jpg' class="review_img" data-lightbox="yacht_gallery"><span></span><img src='/wp-content/plugins/mo_filter/img/lqip/lqip_6x9_v1.webp' style='border:0px;' alt='Review img # 9 of the yacht Serenity' class="img-responsive lazyload" width="470" height="313" data-src="/wp-content/uploads/yacht/c/serenity/serenity-serenity-dufour-48-00-review7917guests25168-1.jpg" itemprop="image"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 11" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>The only way to tour the Virgin Islands!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>This has by far been my favorite vacation ever!

Kylie and Jake are husband and wife and the crew of the Serenity and they went above and beyond to make our week aboard the brand new sailing cat one of our most luxurious vacations ever.<br /> <br /> The boat is extremely comfortable and well maintained to the best standards. Jake is a very professional captain but as a conductor of all our water activities, he made sure the kids (2 12 year old boys and a 10 year old girl) had an amazing time. The grown ups sometimes joined in - once we were able to put down that cocktail that was always delicious and dangerously easy to appear. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always a treat - each meal a truly top notch dining experience. It was hard to believe that they were prepared in that galley that's smaller than most kitchens. The cabins were small as was expected but they very comfortable with queen sized beds - I had my best sleep in years during that week. Each of the 3 cabins had an attached bathroom and I cannot stress how important that was to our comfort levels. The boys decided to sleep in the bunk beds - those were tight but they didn't mind it at all. They used a 4th bathroom that was just outside the bunk bed space.<br /> <br /> Kylie and Jake were able to effortlessly guide us through our time on board - from suggesting destinations to sail to, to suggesting an itinerary, to making sure that everything that was needed to sail a boat with 9 people on board was taken care of without us noticing or worrying about a thing. The Serenity is a lovely boat and Kylie and Jake are a wonderful people and a hardworking and extremely friendly crew. We are 2 families who have sailed bareboat (without a crew) together before so we can appreciate the work that goes into making it seem effortless and worry free. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. I hope I get an opportunity to sail with them again.</div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 18" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Amazing Experience</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>I wish I were a more eloquent writer, as I know this will not properly communicate the amazing week we had onboard Serenity with Jake and Kylie. Serenity is a beautiful boat—clean, new, lovely cabins. The BVI is an amazing place with so much to see. That being said, what made this trip an incredible, unforgettable experience was being with Captain Jake and Kylie. Jake is an accomplished captain, who made us feel immediately comfortable. He answered (a ridiculous amount of) questions, shared his knowledge of sailing and took us on so many unique adventures. We snorkeled, swam, saw beautiful beaches, hit up such fun beach bars. Every day was something new. We had two teenage boys that Jake did everything to help make the trip more exciting for. Our oldest wanted to fish—-so lines were out at every opportunity (even when he was sleeping). He coordinated efoil lessons on Saba Rock—which was totally his idea after meeting our kids (must do if interested in something out of the ordinary). We had a guided tour (with both Jake and Kylie) through the Baths (OMG beautiful!) and saw the most breathtaking views in St John. The kids (and husband) rode tubes behind dingy, Jake and Kylie showed the kids how to get the sails up to sail—-we just did it all. At NO point, did Jake seem to tire of requests—-he was there to make sure every moment was safe, exciting and enjoyable.<br /> <br /> Kylie welcomed us from the first moment with her warm smile, amazing food and cocktails/mocktails. We had more food than we could ever eat—-and each presentation was beautiful. After being on a beach or a snorkel, we would board the boat with a beautiful snack/drink combination. (The boys quietly told me they felt like celebrities every time this happened). Kylie had her hands full with our family—a food allergy and picky teenagers forced her to vary her dishes at every given meal, and she did with ease. Her homemade desserts were absolutely incredible—we are all still discussing her caramel dessert that we can’t remember the name of—but hails from her native South Africa. She did all the little things that go unnoticed, but make you feel so well take care of. Filling drinks while playing cards with family, putting things away—making sure we had sunscreen and bug spray. All those mom things that I ordinarily do—she had already done.<br /> <br /> On top of these two being an amazing, TOP notch crew, they are two of the most lovely people we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Sharing a boat is a special, intimate experience and when we left, we all felt as if we were leaving family members behind. As a group, we laughed, played games at night, and enjoyed every bit of their company. We LOVED Serenity, we LOVED exploring the BVI, but our trip was MADE by this wonderful couple. We are already planning how we can sail with them again…and raving about them to anyone who asks. They are more than the ultimate professionals—they are two of the most special people we have had the privilege to spend time with. Anyone who is lucky enough to sail with them will be more than impressed.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 19" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>5/5 Amazing Trip</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>The trip was absolutely amazing. It had all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but with the flexibility to go, do and see anything you wanted. The food and drinks were fantastic and plentiful and the captain and chef amazing. We cannot express how pleased we were by the entire experience from the initial booking with boats at Sea to the farewell goodbyes to Kylie and Jake!<br /> <br /> The yacht was beautiful and in great shape. It was her first paid charter, so the expectation was high and she exceeded our expectations in space and amenities and just how comfortable it was for a full week. We never felt crowded or ran out of things to do. We made everyone leave the electronics off for the week and with 12-, 16-, and 20-year-old sons, there wasn't a whisper of complaining. Of course our Captain, or should I say DJ Jake was jamming great tunes the whole time for our entertainment and honored every request!<br /> Captain Jake took our 3 sons tubing from the tender and I asked him to beat them up a little as they were professional tubers having tubed many summers in Northern Michigan. I was pleased to see strawberries on all of their elbows the next day from the tube and they agreed it was one of their best tube rides ever. We used the fishing poles daily and hooked into several Tarpon and a Barracuda out trolling. There was also a water wing, paddle boards and inflatable Kayak that all got used as well. The snorkel gear was heavily used!<br /> The food was incredible. Chef Kylie is a rockstar! I am a retired restaurant manager/chef and was very impressed with the variety, quality, and freshness of the cuisine. From the yogurt parfaits to start our mornings before the main breakfast course to the filet and shrimp dinner and all the snacks in between, we couldn't have asked for more! Everyone had their favorite meal prepared throughout the week and the cocktails to go along with the meals really hit the spot. Even our 12 and 16 year old boys had mocktails to match our cocktails and felt very included. Even at home they are asking for the "Jake Killer" our captain's version of the famous "Pain Killer"<br /> We let Jake to the planning and had no hard-set itinerary. It was extremely relaxing that way and all the pressure was on our captain to make sure he took us to the spots that he thought we would like best. After-all he is the expert, not us!<br /> <br /> Captain Jake was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. He shared facts about the islands and personal experiences about each and every place we saw and stopped at. He was as excited as we were when we came across underwater delights. He made sure we saw Lobster, turtles, rays and even an Eagle Ray, sharks, and every fish that was on the fish chart. He was sure to guide everyone to snorkeling that matched their skill set and made sure nobody felt uncomfortable. He was with us every step of the way, or in this case every stroke. He guided us to on-shore excursions as well and educated us so well that we felt like we had been there before. We cannot say enough about both Captain Jake and Chef Kylie....The Best!! </div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 20" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>Dream Vacation Come True</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>"Truly the trip of my dreams! Our family of five (mom, dad and three boys ages 12, 16, 19) had such an amazing week on this luxurious and comfortable catamaran. Our hosts, Jake and Kylie were the perfect pairing for us and we thoroughly enjoyed their company! Not knowing a lot about the USVI, and only that we knew we'd like to focus on St. John to snorkel, explore and relax, we asked Jake and Kylie to take us to the places they liked most. Jake sailed us to some of the most beautiful bays, swam with us to great snorkel locations, took the kids tubing behind the dingy, and took us out for a day sail. Every day was filled with perfect amount of activity and relaxing. Can't list them all but a few favorites were snorkeling at Waterlemon Cay, a stop at Lime Out Taco Bar, Maho Beach and Salt Pond Bay when Kylie packed a wonderful beach bag for us with all the things we'd need for a few hours on the beach. They really are the most gracious hosts, eager to do everything to make your stay relaxing and feel completely taken care of. Kylie prepared wonderfully delicious and artful meals that I'm inspired to re-create. Snacks and fresh fruit were always on hand (necessary with 3 boys), and cocktails and mocktails were a very fun part of every day! The boys regularly requested the Jake Killer! Try it! Jake and Kylie are a great pair, they do it all from ensuring clean comfortable quarters to delicious and filling food and beverage, music requests, tours to any place you want to go, stories and history of the area, great directions for excursions, and just all around fun conversations. They made us feel like Serenity was our home for the week and we felt like family in a very short time! I can't say enough about this amazing vacation! We miss Jake and Kylie and would be thrilled to sail with them again to other places in the USVI, BVI or even beyond. You will love your stay on Serenity with Jake and Kylie-beautiful souls!"</div><div class='clr'></div></div> </div> <div class='bs-example' itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Review"> <div itemprop="name" content="Review of Serenity"></div> <div itemprop="itemReviewed" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Hotel"> <span itemprop="name">Serenity</span> </div> <div itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <meta itemprop="name" content="Serenity Crew 21" /> </div> <div itemprop="reviewBody" class="yacht_rev"> <div>An amazing wonderful vacation</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>"Sailing though the BVI on Serenity was fabulous. The boat is new, was quite comfortable and had more pillows than we knew what to do with. Jake is a knowledgeable Captain who made the trip fun for all especially the kids. Ask him to make you his specialty drink - the Jake Killer - you won’t be disappointed. Kiley, the chef and all around awesome person has cooking skills that far exceeded our expectations. The food was abundant and absolutely delicious - every single meal! Her cocktails and mocktails rocked too! Jake and Kiley were a great team, very accommodating and they really took great care of us!<br /> <br /> We explored many different islands, snorkeled, hiked, fished, did some water sports, relaxed on the beach and much more. The sunsets were breathtaking. I would take this trip, with Jake and Kiley, again in a heartbeat."</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> </div>
