Sail Away - Crewed Catamaran Charter

This was one of the most spectacular vacations I have been on.
heiko, Rebecca and Leann - THANK YOU SO MUCH! Absolutely the best crew in every detail of the trip. And fun, great company.
Kept us safe and catered to our type of vacation. Thank you for taking the time to take us to the best spots - snorkeling was fantastic. The food was 5-stars!!
We will definitely be back!

Thanks to all you for making our week in the USVI and BVI a very wonderful experience. The way you took us around the islands, fed us and kept us comfortable on the boat was exceptional.

The dishes that Leann prepared were all delicious and we re grateful that she catered to all our dietary requests.

Rebecca´s attention to detail such as what each of us liked in our daily routine was amazing.

Heiko took us to nice snorkeling sites and anchored in beautiful secluded bays with perfect sunsets. he had information about the places we were visiting. He handles the boat very well and it is comforting to know that we are in the best hands.

Big thank you for a wonderful week and see you soon!
Patsy and Alex (Philippines)

It was AMAZING. We ALL had a total blast. Heiko, Rebecca, and Maia were simply the best.

Maia’s food was great, and she really was the perfect chef for us. Lots of seafood and veggies. All delicious! Plus, Maia is adorable and always cheerful.

Heiko is a superlative captain - so steady and uber-responsible. He also was a great tour guide in general. His love for snorkeling and everything in the sea was contagious, and he took us to many out of the way snorkeling spots. I think my youngest grandson (10) wants to be just like Heiko when he grows up. . Heiko really planned the perfect itinerary for our family. I feel like the activities, sailing, etc. were perfectly paced for all.

Rebecca is an amazing woman. Just so terrific, kind, and interesting. She took such good care of us every single day. Both Heiko and she always made sure Ed (89) felt safe, particularly getting on and off the dinghy.

We kayaked, snorkeled, paddle-boarded, tubed, and in general spent a ton of time in the water.

The boat was very comfortable, including the beds. The weather was terrific. The food was delicious. The crew was A+. The trip exceeded my expectations, and they were very high to begin with. It was a great family celebration, and we will always remember it as a very special and fun adventure. Though Ed didn’t do the water activities, he also really loved the trip.

Thanks for your help in planning a terrific vacation.

Our week with the three of you on Sail Away was FANTASTIC! it surpassed all expectations. Rebecca, your thoughtfulness and kindness shine through each day in all the many things you did for each of us.
heiko, you are the Captain Extraordinaire! We felt safe in your ever-capable hands. You were an amazing ocean tour guide also. You have created time aspiring free divers in Charles and Arthur. Olivia loved all of your deep knowledge of the sea.
Maia, you made us and our tummies SO HAPPY! We want to adopt you. Your food was terrific and we didn´t have to break out the Ramen for the boys.

In short - we love all of you and you ROCK!

We have lived an island dream for 7 days. Thank you for allowing our family to drift away with y´all. So many magical memories have been made on Sail Away. I will miss being waited on hand and foot.
Heiko, thank you for being our fearless captain. You were always ready to create an adventure for us. And you sail beautifully. Your knowledge of the island and the water is impressive.

Rebecca, thank you for always being so eager to help us out when needed. And thank you for all the cocktails - our favorite part! And you catch the ´rope´ perfectly every time :)

Maia, you should be proud that we are leaving with ´Bodies by Maia´ wow, there are no words to how amazing your food is. I have enjoyed trying new dishes and new flavors. And your food presentation is hands down the best. You have a special gift.

Well, it is time to go home. I have relaxed on a level I/we have never relaxed at and we appreciate y´all making that happen for our family. We will miss our floating abode.

God Bless

There are no words that can express just how special, fun, energizing, relaxing and wonderful these days have been aboard the unforgettable Sail Away. Thank you ever so much for your care, professionalism, kindness, patience and thoughtfulness. The Sail Away will never sail away from my heart
Nick R.

Dearest Rebecca, Heiko and Maia
From the fantastic meals, to the scuba diving, Rebecca´s painkillers and every single moment spent on the Sail Away, i can´t begin to explain to you how happy we have been on this voyage. You made every moment magical and unforgettable.
thank you, thank you, thank you. Can´t wait to be back. You are the best crew ever!
Adriana R.

Thank you for this incredible vacation of a lifetime. Rarely are we able to unplug and relax like we have been able to this week! Thank you for all that you have done to make this so special.

Holy cow - Maia - the food! You managed to blow us away at every meal. And Rebecca the painkillers were the best in the BVI! Heiko - your ability to keep us on time and to lead our aquatic expeditions were second to none.
We can´t wait for our paths to cross again!
Adam, Danielle, Will, Kate John, Beth, Annie, Brett, Nick and Adriana

Your hospitality on Sail Away this week has allowed this group to build on friendships, remember who we are as individuals outside of our everyday lives and rejuvenate ourselves fully.
Your knowledge of this beautiful place, ability to stay steps ahead of us and the weather, and the most amazing food to fuel us, made this a truly remarkable and unforgettable experience.
Thank you.

Most amazing time, most amazing crew. Words can´t express how much joy you have made this vacation
Thank you

Rebecca and Heiko - your hospitality, knowledge of all things sailing and the fun mements - we thank you!
See you soon.

David and I can´t thank you enough for all of the wonderful memories throughout the week.
We enjoyed the food, every meal was excellent. David loves to snorkel and Heiko was very knowledgeable and encouraging to try new areas. Rebecca has been patient, helpful and sweet. leanne has exposed us to so many new ideas and meals that we may try at home.
this trip is going into our books as a huge success and we can´t wait to book another charter. Wishing all the best until we charter again.
David and Andrea

What an amazing week in the BVI. You all met our expectations and then some.
This was our first adventure in the BVI. We were able to visit all the hot spots!
Soggy Dollar , long Bay, Anegada, the Baths, Bitter End, The Indians, ginger Island.
the food was delicious. Every meal was special and satisfied our Epicurian desire.

Attentive and responsive.
Snorkeling among vibrant and colorful sea life.

We can´t thank you enough

We need and want to take Heiko, Rebecca and Leann home with us - AMAZING CREW!
Steve and Kim K

OMG - great trip.
For us it was different because we had previously chartered with the previous crew - Mike and Leslie. It was hard for us to switch crews after so many years, but you all did an amazing job! We appreciated your kindness and understanding and certainly your hospitality.
Thank you for a great trip.
To Leann - great food
To Rebecca - all your attentiveness to details and..
to Heiko - young and knowledgeable

We appreciate you all!!
Sharon and Rick

We had the a great experience on a catamaran charter with Heiko and Rebecca! We had a slight ´hiccup´ at the start but from the moment we boarded, they made us feel right at home with their warmth and professionalism.
The catamaran itself was comfortable, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a week of luxury on the water.
Heiko’s expertise in sailing was evident, and we felt completely safe and comfortable under his guidance.
Rebecca was an outstanding host, making sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience.
The scenery was breathtaking, and we had the chance to explore hidden coves, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy delicious meals Maia prepared for us every day. Their attention to detail, knowledge of the area, and overall hospitality made this charter a five-star experience.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect day on the water!

Thanks for an amazing week. You guys were terrific. You made our trip to the BVI´s more special than we could have imagined.

Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful week in the BVI´s. it was a pleasure to get to know both of you.

BEST VACATION EVER!!

Amazing, wonderful, memorable! You all made this trip perfect for our family. I don´t think I have seen Ryan so relaxed and I was too. Your hard work in planning our meals did not go unnoticed. We certainly appreciate every bit of the care you took to make this trip perfect.

Thank you for welcoming our little pirate, Lainey, onboard. Such a fun time having our 8 month old granddaughter on board with us.We will cherish our memories with you always and hopefully, our paths will cross again on another sailing adventure.

Rebecca and Heiko
Thank you for a wonderful experience in the BVI.
Appreciated your kindness and hospitality each and every day.
Food and service was above and beyond.
Also appreciated all the knowledge of BVI, and nature surrounding it.
Your professionalism was above and beyond.

Heiko and Rebecca
This was the best trip of my life!
We cannot thank you enough for the perfectly planned trip.
We will be coming back for sure and cannot wait for future adventures.

Heiko and Rebecca
We cannot thank you enough for our wonderful week in paradise.
We were blown away by the food, the views and the fun activities throughout the week.
You both have been so helpful and taught us so much about the Virgin islands.
This place and this vacation will always have a special place in our hearts. We would recommend your charter to all of our friends.
Cheers to you and this amazing place.

Thank you for everything this week. Your knowledge of the areas we visited, and your dedication to conservation and education are unrivaled.
We really appreciated the customer service especially after realizing that we truly were being pampered! The food was outstanding (every meal) and I couldn´t be happier to spend the week with you!
Also, thank you for the helpful hints; without that I would not have been able to have the snorkel experience I did!

Heiko and Rebecca
Before this week, I didn´t know what vacation meant. You spoiled us all thoroughly. The islands and oceans knowledge so freely given; the never ending incredible food; the peace and the parties. :)
We are going home sun-kissed, relaxed and full of new information and joy.
Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

All the conservation education was the highlight for me!

his has been a trip of a lifetime for me. Many firsts. Such amazing sites and having you both guiding us and helping along the way was incredible.
Learning about the islands and sea-life was eye opening.
I truly appreciate everything you both have done this entire week. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious.
Thank you for making this trip unforgettable.

Many times in our lives we have felt truly blessed. This was one of those times!
Thank you so much for taking care of us. This trip was transformational.
We wish you a lifetime of Joy and Happiness.
Your kindness, your professionalism, your vibe was top notch!

The crew exceeded ALL expectations. Adrien was super chill, Vanessa was super hospitable, and Leanne, OMG her cooking was amazing. She seemed to be working the ENTIRE time. Every meal was AMAZING.
We loved our experience on Sail Away! Cabins were surprisingly spacious and lots of great areas to hang out (including the bow and the very upper deck). We learned there´s a big difference between a 50 ft Cat and a 60 ft like Sail Away, we are spoiled now! The crew exceeded ALL expectations, we now believe this is the most important thing when selecting a charter. Adrien (captain), Vanessa (first mate) and Leanne (chef) were so awesome. But we must single out Leeanne, we are ´foodies´ and every meal blew us away, even the breakfasts. We hope to be back and hope for this same crew!

Thank you again, you all truly are extraordinary in so many ways. I think I’m in love with you all. Happiest of holidays.
Sharon and Nickel

Than you thank you thank you. A special thanks for Carolyn’s birthday party. We hope to see you again.
With love and gratitude,
Fabia and Carolyn

We recently spent 10 days aboard Sail Away with Colleen and Peter Lauber. The experience from beginning to end was seamless and transporting. First, our charter broker arranged the charter and facilitated travel plans and navigating the BVI Covid restrictions/requirements. That was a great help! The BVI are VERY Covid safe by the way. Once you do the required paperwork and testing it is fabulous to be here. So don’t let that stop you from coming!!

We met Colleen and Peter at the Cay, a short ride from the airport, and off we went. We had 4 days of on-boat quarantine and, really, who could complain about beautiful bays, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking etc?! After a day 4 test and subsequent test result we hit land for our first on shore activities.

Colleen and Peter, our hosts on Sail Away, were EXCELLENT in every way. They are both highly experienced sailors and know every corner of (and almost everyone in) the BVI. They took incredible care of us from charting our trip, arranging activities, and preparing delicious meals. Colleen clearly did a ton of preparation to be able to prepare gourmet dishes with ease for a group that also included gluten free vegans. And they were funny, fun, and overall great to get to know.

Oh and Sail Away is gorgeous. No need for me to say more - JUST GET HERE.

Everyone was so nice – I would not change a thing!!! Really enjoyed our trip and HOPE to do it again. Best crew and chef!!! Our friends were so happy with the trip!!!

Just returned home from a fabulous family 7 day vacation aboard Vacoa. Our family consisted of 9 people ages 13, 14, 17, 18, 25, 27, 50, 59. Fun for everyone from the water activities, destinations, cocktails and the food, we could not have been happier! Captain Jason, Steward Lucy and Chef Louis, treated all of us with professionalism and enthusiasm. Every request was greeted with a smile. We can´t wait to book our next trip aboard Vacoa! Thanks again for an incredible time!
Jennifer Attaway

This is the second time that we vacationed on the Vacoa with friends and we had another fabulous week with great weather in the BVI! The crew kept us busy with multiple destinations and activities daily; we loved Oil Nut Bay, Scrub Island, Bitter End and the remote bays where everyone had a blast with multiple water activities! Captain Jason did an unbelievable job keeping us very active while Chef Will was back in the kitchen preparing fantastic breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners! Lucy, the second mate, was a joy to be with, she made delicious tropical drinks, cleaned up after us and kept us entertained! A great time was had by all!

Marco Island

We chartered Vacoa in the BVI in January of 2017 and enjoyed every minute of it. The boat is a 620 Lagoon (our second trip on the same model) and I would not charter in the BVI on any other model of boat. The fact that the top deck can accommodate all 10 guests beats any other boat in its class.

The boat is in great condition and the salon and state rooms are well appointed.

Jason and Team did a wonderful job and the food blew away our expectations (which were high from our previous trip on another boat). I´d recommend getting off the boat for cocktails here and there but eating on board as none of the island restaurants can match the quality and presentation of the food.

They had plenty of sports equipment on board -- everything from water skis to wakeboard, to kayaks, to paddle boards, etc.... Full service boat with fantastic crew -- perfect match.

Message for the broker : I have no words (which everyone will tell you is unusual for me J)! The guests had a fabulous time on VACOA. The comments keep coming.
The crew was amazing and Christine was just incredible. We ate like kings all week. Claire and Xavier were so nice and wonderful. The vacation was amazing! We loved every minute of it....the best vacation ever.

It was incredible! Im ready to look for next year. Call me!

Comment from the broker:
I just wanted to send you an email and tell you how proud I am of Xavier and his crew on VACOA! He is such a pleasure to work with. My clients had the best trip ever on board with them.
Thank you for all your assistance!

This charter was by far the best I have been on to date...maybe it was the yacht? Maybe it was the crew? Both were amazing and better than expected. The yacht´s condition was impeccable, the accommodations definitely met with our expectations, perhaps even better. We did not fully appreciate the upper deck of the yacht; I think we hung out there most of the time. We also did not realize we had a fourth crew member which was terrific! The crew was phenomenal. Xavier and Claire were so professional and accommodating to all of your wishes. Christine our chef was 5 star!! Every meal was delicious and special - what she was able to accomplish with such limited provisions was truly amazing. The final dinner our last night was a special treat - surprise Pirate Party!! Maxim was our 4th crew member and such a delight. He really took care of all of us...day or night!!

The week went by so fast even though it was 7 days on a boat...we went to every location we wanted plus some. Xavier knew exactly when the best times would be for snorkeling, seeing turtles, exploring the Baths (when all of the people had left); he even knew how to keep us out of the stormy weather! We enjoyed hiking on the islands, tennis at two resorts, sailing at Bitter End and spa treatments on shore. They really did an amazing job keeping all of us happy.

I just want to thank you for your advice and organization of my charter onboard VACOA during our Easter break.We had a fantastic tour onboard a great boat, run by a very professional, knowledgable and service minded crew. My family and I enjoyed every minute and we will certainly come back in not too distant future. I can easily recommend this boat with existing crew to anyone that want to have a time of their life experience. Thank you

Just a quick check in after a most delightful week on the water with great friends and a fantastic crew! The chef Christine was also over the top on professional skills and food quality/presentation, and always pleasant and open to teaching us about her dishes and how they were prepared. As a business owner myself, I know it is important to get prompt and direct feedback and consider this a 100+ score, simply blew us away! It goes without saying that the captain and crew had our comfort and hospitality in mind 24/7; and clearly a crack sailing team.

Well done! The Vacoa and crew were perfect for our team of six non-adventurers. I have already recommended them to other friends. I know we will be in touch again next year.

My clients had a wonderful time aboard VACOA. Thank you very much to you and your excellent crew for an excellent charter!

Estimado Xavier,
Te envo como recuerdo dos fotos del grupo de navegantes argentinos, de la semana del 9-5 al 16-5-15. Hemos pasado una semana muy linda y nos hemos sentido muy satisfechos por las atenciones de toda la tripulacin.
Un cordial saludo para los tres y espero nos podamos volver a re-encontrar.
Cordialmente.

Feedback from the broker :
I finally got ahold of M. XXX to get a report on their sailing vacation in St Martin with Xavier and Clare and Christine on VACOA and he has only superlatives for the boat, crew and experience.He was ecstatic about the food, the service, Xaviers energy and flexibility with doing water sports with the kids, playing DJ and helping guide the itinerary choices.
They said they would charter that boat again with that crew.

Our charter has been sensational! Xavier is very skilled and knowledgeable, first mate Claire has been wonderful, and chef Manuela extraordinary, fabulous cuisine.
All of the crew work well together. Susan and I speak French with them, some Italian with Manuela, but they are all fluent in English. They have been particularly patient and helpful with the grandchildren.
The boat itself is super, but the setup of the bathrooms could be better, which has nothing to do with the crew, of course.
I am glad that we held out for VACOA .

I have just talked with the client, she is plenty satisfied with their cruise on board of MAITAS.
The captain Marco and his crew has work very hard to offer to all the party an unforgettable cruise.
They have appreciated their professionalism, the discretion , the long experience and the excellent cousin .
I want thank all the Team , I will give only super positive feedback on the boat and I hope to have soon other clients.

It was our first cruise with friends at the BVI, April 2017. We had an excellent holiday at the Vacoa. His crew was fantastic, Jason the captain always open to give us destination suggestions and access our requirements, we did many fun activities with the dinghy, Angie, the best, an eceptional chef delights us day by day with exquisite preparations and the best ever alway with a big smile, Lucy was a wonderful hostess kept us at all times solving any issue we requested, with the best encouragement and always cheerful. We had an amazing time at Vacoa and would love to go back.
