STAND BY ONE Yacht Description
-
Dual E-foils (2 units):
The hottest water toy for thrill and fun, perfect for guests craving adventure on the waves. -
Seabob sea scooters:
Premium underwater scooters ideal for exploring coral reefs and adding an exciting edge to snorkeling. -
Full air conditioning throughout:
Keeps all 8 guests comfortable in tropical climates, enhancing luxury and relaxation onboard.
Introducing Stand By One, an exquisitely newly refitted 50ft Fontaine Pajot accommodating 8 guests in 3 Queen cabins and 1 double, all with ensuite heads. Enjoy luxury linens and complimentary organic, eco friendly, reef safe toiletries throughout.
Stand By One offers more than just space for dining, the saloon has an extendable table for games night and the galley is equipped for not only meals, but fresh juices and smoothies. Indoor-Outdoor living elevates that homey feel onboard. The cockpit has lounge space for family time, read a book from the yachts library on the fly bridge or enjoy a sunset on the trampoline and bean bags.
She is crewed by a Captain and Chef team who have extensive sailing knowledge and traveling experience in the Caribbean. They love taking guests to locations not on the usual charter itinerary whilst playing tour guide with fun facts about each islands history. They are avid experienced divers and with a dive compressor and all gear on board, its easy to show their guests a whole different world beneath the turquoise waters they sail on.
Onboard scuba, E-foils, and a crew that actually lives in the water. STAND BY ONE is a 2015 Fountaine Pajot 50’ catamaran built for guests who want more than “just snorkeling.” With a full dive setup onboard (compressor, tanks, BCDs, weights) and three dives per week included, plus a PADI Divemaster captain, this yacht is essentially a moving dive lodge with better sheets and better food.
She sleeps 8 guests in 4 ensuite cabins (3 queens + 1 double), so every couple gets a real cabin, a real door, and a real bathroom. Wide catamaran beam = stable platform, more deck space, and fewer “why is the boat doing that” moments.
On the “toys not noise” front, STAND BY ONE carries 2x e-foils, Seabob, kayaks, paddleboards, floating mats and a good selection of fishing gear (Penn, Daiwa, Shimano) plus underwater camera and drone for the inevitable “we really did this” footage.
Inside, you get full air conditioning, generator, watermaker, Starlink Wi‑Fi, ice maker, BBQ, multimedia sound system and proper dine-in space, so the boat behaves like a small floating apartment rather than a camping experiment. Special diets (including kosher) are handled in-house, with a chef coming from the superyacht side and a sample menu that reads more like a restaurant than a boat.
The real edge: crew skill stack. Captain Brandon is an RYA Yachtmaster and PADI Divemaster with serious time underwater; Natichka brings superyacht service standards, event-hosting experience, and an unembarrassing dessert game (yes, Biscoff tiramisu is a thing). Together they run trips that mix diving, freediving, casual fishing, and low-drama sailing with actual photographic evidence via drone and underwater video.
If you want a modern 50’ cat that can dive, foil, fish, and still serve Eggs Benedict at breakfast, STAND BY ONE is built for that exact use case.

Reviews
Nick is a skillful and very helpful captain. Always anticipating every single need of each guest and going above the call of duty. Always willing to satisfy requests and extremely helpful to everyone.
Jade is an accomplished chef. All her dishes were not only amazing but decorated and presented like a 5 star restaurant. Every single meal was a fantastic surprise.
They complement each other very well. Both help the other in their duties and do it seamlessly. The boat is spotless all the time. Rooms done while we had breakfast and turn in while having dinner. Their attention to details was mind blowing.
We have done this type of trip and charter multiple times and can say beyond doubt that this trip has been the best of all thanks to both of them. Hope to repeat soon!
goes to our incredible captain, Brandon. From start to finish, it was a seamless blend of adventure,
relaxation, and top-notch hospitality, all thanks to Brandon’s expertise, warmth and ability to lead a first
class adventure.
We spent our days cruising through the turquoise waters, exploring hidden coves, and enjoying stunning
beaches. Brandon expertly navigated us to some of the most beautiful and secluded spots in the BVI.
Whether we were snorkeling and diving in crystal-clear waters, or simply lounging on deck soaking in the
views, every moment felt like paradise.
We are an ocean going adventurous surfing family from Hawaii who have been blessed to travel the world
on many vacations. We requested a crew who could accommodate and we couldn’t be any more grateful
for this pairing! Brandon was not only an experienced captain but also a knowledgeable guide, making
sure we were comfortable and safe every step of the way. His calm and reassuring presence made every
excursion feel effortless and fun.
Then, there was the food. Every meal was absolutely amazing, with fresh, local ingredients that perfectly
captured the flavors of the islands. From fresh seafood to Caribbean-inspired dishes, every bite was a
treat. Brandon went out of his way to ensure we had everything we wanted, accommodating dietary
preferences and making every meal an event in itself.
What truly made this trip unforgettable, though, was Captain Brandon himself. He’s the kind of person
who genuinely loves what he does and makes you feel like part of the family. His incredible skill on the
water was matched only by his charm and hospitality. He kept us laughing with stories, shared his deep
knowledge of the islands, and made sure we felt taken care of at every turn. His warmth and
attentiveness turned what could have been a great trip into an extraordinary one.
We came home with memories we’ll cherish forever, and it’s all thanks to Captain Brandon and his
incredible service. If you’re looking for an unforgettable family getaway in the British Virgin Islands, this is
the way to go! We can’t recommend it enough.

kitchen, she’s a great leader for fun game nights/dance parties! Finally, Nat did a great job driving us
around and playing tour guide on Anegada! She’s a fun, smart, talented, well rounded beautiful
sweetheart! We loved our week with Nat!!!
- Judy
One of the best vacations we’ve ever had! From the incredible food to the exceptional service and
unforgettable activities, everything was truly five-star. What began as a week of sailing with strangers
quickly turned into an experience where we made lifelong friends. I highly recommend this trip to anyone
looking for an extraordinary adventure.

Natichka. From stepping on board Stand By One, we knew that we were in for a holiday of a lifetime! We
got to explore amazing islands off the coast of Panama for 8 days and words can’t begin to describe the
memories we made. Captain Brandon is one gem of a Captain, his knowledge on sailing and the ocean
blew our minds. He always put our safety first and we could always ask him a million questions about the
boat, our surroundings and he would always give us information with a smile. Chef Natichka filled our
bellies with amazing food and she makes a killer Tiramisu! There were always snacks and drinks and she
would sneak chocolates into our cabins at night where our comfy beds awaited us opened with dimmed
lights making us feel like royals. The kids loved playing games and using the toys and Nats let them bake
with her in the mornings which they absolutely loved. We adore Brandon and Nats. They are amazing
people with adventurous souls and have a gift for making people feel at home and ready to explore the
day.
We can’t wait to charter with them again!

change the location of our charter and Captain Brandon and First Mate Natichka did everything they
possibly could to still make our trip happen. They ended up sailing the boat to a new location for 27 hours
so that we could still have our holiday and we are forever grateful.
We arrived in Bocas Del Toro with no idea what to expect and by day 3 we were experienced sailors and
the kids turned into mermaids. Captain Brandon is an exceptional Captain with great stories to tell. He
always made sure we had a drink in our hand and no request was too much to ask. He is an extraordinary
Diver and whilst we were still new to diving, he made us feel like we could conquer any dive! With his
positive attitude and hard working ethics, he created an environment where we could relax, rewind and
feel no need to worry about the boat, our safety or if we’ll get bored.
First mate Nats is one of the funniest people we’ve ever met. Her stories about traveling and life are
interesting and she made us add about 8 new destinations to our bucket list! She cooked what we liked
and made sure to feed us lots of snacks! Her cooking style is a combination of traveling with your taste
buds and feeling like we’re at a restaurant every day. Did we mention that her deserts are to die for? She
loves to play games and would stay up late with the kids and they’re yet to beat her at UNO!
What made their duo so special to us is that they would both be in the galley at times, but also both drive
the boat. Their team work was smooth, efficient and they never asked us to help with anything!
The kids learned how to fish, how to freedive and left with a lot of participation certificates and polaroid
photos. They haven’t stopped talking about Captain Brandon and Chef Nats. They are both very
comfortable in the water and never said no to a snorkel tour. I would charter with them again in a
heartbeat and can’t wait to have them visit our home in return.
Best charter ever!
