Onboard the brand new catamaran WHISKEY SUNSET in St Thomas.
As far as interior efforts go, I would say WHISKEY SUNSET is one of the best looking in her class. The style is very high end, modern, clean and uncluttered. She easily matches the luxury feel of a catamarans 10k more expensive. I am really impressed.
James and Phoebe are wonderful and talented crew. His experience working with high end brands such as TAG Heuer and Calvin Klein is probably part of why WHISKEY SUNSET is so well styled.
Based in Village Cay.
WHISKEY SUNSET Yacht Description
-
Inflatable Jet Ski Dock and Floating Mats:
Unique catamaran feature—easy water access and fun for all ages with jet ski dock and floating playground. -
Three Sea Scooters (Premium Underwater Scooters):
Guests can explore underwater effortlessly—perfect for snorkeling adventures and family underwater fun. -
Full Air Conditioning with Open Salons and Flybridge:
Comfortable, luxury spaces to relax, socialize, and enjoy 360-degree views and cool breezes anytime.
Hydraulic swim platform, underwater scooters, 10 ft floating dock. WHISKEY SUNSET is built for people who think “swim stop” should feel like a pop-up water park, not a quick dip and back to the towels. Drop the platform, fire up the sea scooters, park on the inflatable dock, and watch the kids (or the adults) disappear into the water toys inventory.
New-build Bali 5.5 power cat (2025) for 8 guests in 4 queen cabins, all with private en-suite bathrooms and individual A/C control. Translation: everyone gets the “good cabin,” no one gets the short straw, and the boat still feels open and calm thanks to Bali’s signature wide beam and big glass.
Three real social zones, not theoretical ones: a flybridge with 360° views and loungers, a forward cockpit with direct access from the salon for breezy breakfasts, and an aft cockpit for shaded dinners and grilling. You can split the group by noise level, lifestyle, or cocktail preference and still all be “together.”
Tech + comfort already wired in: full air conditioning, watermaker, satellite TV, salon entertainment system, BBQ, ice maker, coffee machine, and onboard Wi-Fi. No rationing showers, no warm beers, no “who downloaded what” conversations.
Crewed by a Yachtmaster captain and professional chef who do this for a living, not as a summer experiment. You handle the schedule of naps, swims, and second desserts; they handle the rest.

Reviews
Phee was the absolute loveliest—gracious, elegant, and endlessly hospitable. Every meal she prepared was a work of art: vibrant, colorful, and full of flavor. My favorite meal of the entire trip was her poke bowl—fresh, bright, and absolutely delicious. And her desserts were unforgettable. The rocky road bars and macadamia nut cookies were some of the best cookies I’ve ever had—moist, memorable, and the kind of treats you’d expect to find in a fancy New York bakery. Her warmth and care were felt in every detail, from the beautiful table settings to the way she quietly refreshed our cabins each day.
James was an exceptional captain—calm, capable, and always attentive. He kept the trip running smoothly from start to finish, and his cocktails quickly became an afternoon highlight. His skill on the water was matched only by his talent behind the bar.
Some of my favorite moments came from the places we visited. Our day in Little Harbor was a standout—snorkeling among sea turtles, stingrays, and jellyfish felt magical. I also loved walking along the soft, open beaches of Anegada with my mom and sister, soaking in the quiet beauty of the island together.
We were able to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday during the trip, which made the week even more meaningful. My dad has been bravely fighting a rare cancer called cholangiocarcinoma since last September. After undergoing surgery in December, he is currently showing no evidence of disease—something we are endlessly grateful for—and he will continue regular checkups over the next five years. In so many ways, he is a living miracle. My mom made a beautiful, heartfelt speech to the family that evening, and it was one of the most special moments of the entire trip.
Together, James and Phee created an atmosphere that was both elevated and wonderfully relaxed. The boat truly became a home on the water. We loved the thoughtful touches: the candlelit tables each evening, the personalized Yetis that kept our drinks cool all week, and the fresh towels delivered halfway through the trip that made us feel so cared for. Phee’s quiet gestures—like slipping in to make our beds and tidy our bathrooms—were small acts that made a big difference.
What stood out most was their perfect balance of professionalism and genuine warmth. They joined our conversations with ease and laughter, yet always gave our family the space to connect, reflect, and celebrate together.
James and Phee didn’t just host our trip—they made it unforgettable, in every way that matters. And I hope they know that they now have homes in Georgia, Kentucky, New York, Oklahoma, and Colorado. They will always have a place with us.
I had sailed on the Oceana with my family of 5 in late july and had to go back again with friends!
The attention to detail to customize our week to meet our needs was off the charters fabulous! Sailing, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, sea scootering, paddle boarding, dining, fabulous drinks, great wines, cab ride with Sweet Willie T, Coco Maya dancing, lobsters in Anegada, hiking, The Baths, beautiful sunsets.....
Everyone had the best time and agrees it's the only way to vacation!! Can't wait to do it again!
