Lola Description
New 2023 build! The Bali 5.4 is a ´Multihull of the Year´ award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the ´Bali garage door´ that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Lola. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Lola will accommodate 8 charter quests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling master cabin for those who desire more space. She is a brand new 2023 sailing catamaran with teak, hard top, hydraulic lift, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Lola giveaways.

CAPTAIN
Hugo O´Kelly
Hugo is a seasoned sailor who has been captivated by water from a young age.
He grew up in England, in a small county just outside of London and spent most holidays by the seaside of Cornwall. At the tender age of seven, Hugo discovered his passion for sailing, racing lasers and 49er´s while at school. Later in his youth he became an instructor for this.
Hugo´s passion for sailing and the ocean grew stronger after school, so he headed to the South of France to work on luxury Superyachts. At 18, he was selected and sponsored to race across the Atlantic being the youngest crew in the fleet. This is when Hugo realized his true calling. He completed his Yacht Masters amongst other qualifications with the dream of becoming a captain.
Hugo has at present, worked as Skipper and 1st Mate on luxury yachts of up to 100ft. From sailing charters to sea-life safari tours - he´s been sailing in some of the most beautiful and exotic locations around the world. After completing his second crossing to Antigua, he is currently obtaining his Ocean Master.
When he´s not at work, Hugo is an avid water-sports enthusiast and instructor.
He loves to coach waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wake-surfing. Surfing, diving and fishing are also just a few of his many hobbies. Whether on the water or on land, Hugo is always seeking new adventures and finding ways to connect with the sea.

Lola Guest Reviews
February 2024
Hugo and Judith - We cannot thank you two enough for your exceptional service this last week. You were friendly, engaging, professional and delightful. You were so attentive to our needs and always eager to offer whatever we needed or wanted. True professionals and truly wonderful people! We hope to sail away with you in the future!
January 2024
We can´t thank you enough for a fabulous week! You were attentive to every detail and your youthful energy was a perfect fit for our family. The itinerary was ideal with each stop offering something special and breathtaking view. Hugo - your knowledge and experience always assured us that we were in the most capable of hands. Judith - your meals were beyond description, flavorful, varied, healthy and above all, delicious. Everything was a feast for our eyes and our bellies.
The boat (Lola) was wonderful, clean, comfortable and just the right amount of space for everyone. We loved sitting on the bow or upon the flybridge - especially while underway. We appreciated learning more about what we were seeing and hearing about your experiences.
We have traveled extensively, including previous catamaran charters in the BVI, and this has been a family favorite. You made everything easy thanks to your impeccable organization. We had so much fun and hope to travel with you again soon!

To Hugo
There was a young bloke from Suffolk
Who brought Christmas crackers like St. Nick
In every port and bay and bight
He would say, ´Jalright´
No better sea captain could you pick
To Judith
There once was a woman from Holland
She didn´t want to live on land
So she took to the sea
And she cooked duck confit
With her, no better time could be spent
To our wonderful Lola crew,
Thank you (times a million!) for an absolutely unforgettable adventure. The food was astounding, the sailing was delightful, the company was sweet. We are so grateful for all your hard work. Thank you for being part of our family.
Judith - thank you for making meals that could suit royalty, and accommodating our preferences. Hugo - thank you for putting together a WONDERFUL itinerary for this week.

Hugo & Judith
This trip was a blessing in so many ways. The adventure, sight, food and memories made were some of the highlights expected coming into this trip. You two were put in our paths for a reason. The love and passion that you showed with us was amazing. Tiffany and I are blessed in so many ways, but you two have enriched those blessings tenfold this week. We have shared so many laughs and laughed so hard we cried. You two are so much fun to be around. Our group has prayed for both of you our entire trips and we will continue to pray for you, your safety and that you will continue to share your love and passion with others.
Hugo, your knowledge of the boat, islands and local culture amazed us.
Judith, Your ability to prepare the most amazing meals in a short period of time in a small kitchen is truly inspirational.
The both of you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you both for sharing your love and passion with us.
Love, Jon + Tiffany

Simply awesome!
Best cruise and crew of my seven BVI charters! Thank you!!

Merritt & Newborn, NC
Pure perfection!
Pure perfection! Everything was amazing! You even ordered up our request for nice weather and (almost) always smooth seas. This was the most unforgettable trip - the food you made was truly 5 star, but the presentation was equally stunning. Great captain! We felt truly cared for with your kind and knowledgeable personality. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you´d like to visit the Midwest and stay at our home. Sorry my cooking will not come close to yours. We would love to sail with you again soon.
Karen & Bruce
Thank you both for this wonderful experience.
The final day has arrived sadly! Thank you both for this wonderful experience. It is memorable for the things I(Greg) learned about sailing, for the beautiful places we visited, but mostly for the warmth & welcoming felt from you both. My only regret is the 5-6 pounds I gained not being able to turn down a morsel of the incredible cuisine offered. Thank you and smooth sailing through life!
-Greg & Sandy
Everything was perfect!
Thank you so much for your hospitality. Everything was perfect! If you are ever sailing up near Bedford, NC, we have a dock for you!
