Keith and Christo are PADI Dive Instructors. Between the two of them you are in safe hands exploring the underwater world!
Guests interested in diving are required to fill out a medical questionnaire/liability waiver and potentially obtain doctor's clearance prior to coming down to the Virgin Islands. Additionally, certified divers must send a copy of their diver certification card prior to the trip.
Aeolus offers a complimentary Discover Scuba Dive (Resort Course) to guests that are not certified divers (10 year old minimum age). This includes a ~1 hour safety and theory course along with a ~30 minute shallow water dive.
Certified divers can dive up to three times throughout the charter. Additional dives will be up to the discretion of the Captain based on the itinerary and weather conditions.
Aeolus offers diving education including PADI Open Water and Advanced courses. All E-Learning will need to be completed prior to the charter and we highly recommend completing the confined water sections with a local shop prior to the trip. This allows you to finish out the course with the open water dives and not consume too much of the trip!
Diving Costs information
All the necessary dive gear is complimentary onboard Aeolus. If you have preferred gear that works for you, we recommend bringing it along! Our vessel uses Scuba Pro Gear including everything necessary for PADI courses as well.
Open Water Referral Course: $400pp
Advanced Open Water Course: $300pp
Additional DSD Dives: $100pp
Payment for diving is preferable as Venmo or Cash to the Instructor.
We recommend getting DAN diver insurance or a comparable policy for your trip.

Captain Keith
Keith was first introduced to the global maritime world at 18 when he worked as a young ship broker in his hometown of Melbourne. Later, after finishing a degree in Sustainable Development Keith worked as a construction project manager until 23 when he discovered the yachting industry whilst sailing the Caribbean on a 40ft sloop. The hook was set, and Keith went all-in on his growing passion for the ocean and sailing. An avid diver and scuba instructor, he loves showing guests the underwater world and is eager to teach all, regardless of experience.
A purveyor of high quality stories, with 7 years in the yachting industry Keith has a few to share. From racing Schooner’s across the French channel, to sailing a famous Perini around the Balearics, boat building in Melbourne or cruising the eastern seaboard from Savannah to Martha’s Vineyard. Keith's favorite part about skippering on yachts is hunting for unique bays and the little hidden gems of the islands; from the best beach bars to reef full of life that can only be reached by boat and discovered with a mask and snorkel.
----------------------------
Chef Jamison
Jamison is the creative force behind Aeolus’ vibrant culinary experience, bringing a dynamic blend of fine dining expertise, warm hospitality, and global yachting experience to luxury charter life in the Caribbean. Raised in Canada with deep roots in the hospitality industry, she developed her passion for food and guest service through hands-on experience across restaurant service, bar, and kitchen roles before launching her yachting career in 2021. Since then, Jamison has cooked aboard yachts throughout Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Sardinia, and the British Virgin Islands, while also serving as Sous Chef aboard a prestigious 55m Feadship in the Mediterranean, where she refined her high-end culinary techniques and luxury charter service standards.
Most recently, Jamison worked on Moskito Island creating elevated dining experiences, lavish sushi spreads, and beautifully plated menus. Her background also includes serving as the Head Baker for an artisanal bakery and coffee shop in Banff, where she cultivated a strong passion for pastry and baking. She continues to expand her culinary expertise and plans to further her pastry training at the International Pastry Academy in Barcelona this summer. Known for her fun, personable energy and creative approach to cuisine, Jamison combines refined luxury dining with a relaxed, engaging atmosphere that perfectly complements life aboard Aeolus.

First Mate Christo
Christo grew up on the coast of Hermanus, South Africa, where we are surrounded by nature. Mountains and forest on the one side and a rough and cold ocean on the other. From a young age he has been a lover for the ocean and its thrills. Whether it is surfing, free diving or spearfishing he always enjoyed being in the water.
After he completed school, He received the opportunity to start a 1-year internship at Neptune’s Divers and cruises, After the year was over, He received a permanent position as sole deckhand and divemaster for 4 years. The fact that my office is on top and underneath the ocean makes me extremely happy. This is what drew me towards yachting, I just love being around or in the big blue sea.
----------------------------
Stewardess Chene
She was born in Gauteng, but grew up in the vibrant Western Cape, South Africa. She has a passion for mother nature as she has always been in/on or around mountains and the ocean. Her father always dreamt that she would work in the yachting industry as he was a huge lover of sailing. They would go out sailing with his friends at any opportunity.
After completing school, She moved from Cape Town to Onrus/ Hermanus and started
working in the hospitality industry. After a few years she met my life partner, who shares the same passions as she does. Her and Christo then decided to start our journey together in yachting. They continue to stay dedicated and determined to learn and grow within this industry and run successful charters.

Keith, Casey, Christo & Chene,
Words cannot express how wonderful our week on Aeolus has been. Barry has dreamed of a sailing trip like this for a long time, and celebrating our 40th anniversary this way made it truly special. This has been, without question, the best charter experience we’ve ever had.
Aeolus looked beautiful online, but the real experience far exceeded anything we imagined. The yacht is incredibly well-decorated, comfortable, and luxurious. The crew is simply outstanding.
Every meal was exceptional—creative, delicious, and full of flavor—paired with unique drinks and beautiful table settings. Truly the best food we’ve ever had.

Hugs to all,
Pam & Barry
What a fantastic journey—Aeolus was AMAZING! Every detail was considered and personalized. We felt incredibly special and cared for throughout.
There were so many thoughtful touches that made each experience unique—custom cocktails, beautifully prepared meals, and seamless service. Casey’s creativity shone through in every dish, and Christo’s attention to detail—especially with the water toys—was impressive. Everything ran effortlessly.
Keith—what can we say—an incredible captain. Each day was perfectly planned, and every location felt like the best one yet.
Saturday was especially memorable—so much fun, and every stop was perfection.
Thank you to the entire crew!

December 2025 BVI Charter
We chartered Aeolus in December, just prior to the holidays. Upon arrival, we found a magnificent yacht, maintained to the highest standards. The crew, led by Captain Keith, was just awesome, with First Mate Christo and Stewardess Chene taking great care of us upon our arrival. Casey, the chef, was just absolutely fantastic. Every meal was extraordinary, from breakfast to lunch and dinner.
We took part in every activity that the toys and gear allowed us to enjoy. We kept the crew and Captain Keith very busy with all of our activities. We used the e-foil, the sea bob and the sailboat, and the diving excursions were fantastic. The best part of our activities were actually sailing the boat. Keith took great effort to ensure that we got to sail as much as possible on our trip.
The entire crew absolutely spoiled us - they had a positive and can do attitude and approach for the entire trip. We can’t think of a single thing that could’ve made this trip any better. Our sincere thanks to the entire crew and we look forward to our next trip on board Aeolus.
Jeff

Keith, Casey, Christo & Chene,
Wow – what an amazing trip!! It was truly magical! 💗 You guys are absolutely THE BEST!!!
Your kindness & amazing attitudes made everything that much sweeter. From the gorgeous anchorage spots, to the very creative tablescapes, to the most delicious food where every meal was better than the next, to the plethora of water toys & Christo’s coaching (move forward!!! 😉) – it was all just the best cruise ever.
Your thoughtfulness in every detail makes us not want to leave, but apparently the next charter group doesn’t want our company!
The icing on the cake is the fantastic video & we will treasure it forever. Thank you!
You are the best crew & made us feel like family, while also spoiling the heck out of us! Looking forward to next time!
Love to all of you,

"To the AMAZING Aeolus Crew - This was an absolutely amazing week!! Every single detail was perfect!! The children had a blast and can't wait to come back #missionaccomplished!
Casey - the food was divine! A culinary experience to say the least! My favorite meal was the lobster, the best I have ever had! You managed to have our children cleaning their plates at every seating! Another mission accomplished. Thank you for all your hard work on our bellies behalf. Only wish we could have seen you more.
Chene - "Pleasure" doesn't even do you justice! Your kindness cannot be matched and the mixology of ALL things incomparable! Thank you for taking such good care of all of us and laying down the law with our kiddos! Your personal touches were the icing to the memories we will take with us. When we get a boat #youarehired
Christo - Thank you for making the kids' watersporting dreams a reality! You went above and beyond to make sure they knew what they were doing, were safe, and got better every day. I'm happy they figured out the water cannon on their own. You also made each dinner such a delight with your lighting expertise! #youarealsohired
Michael - Kudos to planning the perfect itinerary! You certainly catered to our watersporting desires. I hope we made this charter memory a lasting one. May the mark of Knox bring a smile to your face when you think of us. You played doctor more than you needed to and filled our brains with boating knowledge we will hopefully need one day! Good luck on your land journey!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts" - The RayBaums

"Thank you Michael, Casey, Chene, and Christo for a most memorable holiday week. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived to the last morning. We lived in luxury, ate like kings, drank works of art, and learned that laughter on the water was the perfect way to spend days -- much of that laughter was watching each other try to master the e-foil. Each of your talents -- Michael's leadership, Casey's magic skills in the kitchen, Chene's wonderful ability to mix drinks and anticipate every need, and Christo's fabulous energy as he met our every water sport need -- created the perfect trip. The Aeolus winds made the weather just the right amount of sun and clouds too -- All Magical!' - Fondly Matt & Bobbi Hapgood

"Aeolus, God of the Winds. A beautiful boat for sure. But good ol' Aeolus has nothing on the crew cause they're the best in the biz! Captain Michael rocks, he can sail, scuba dive, recover sinking hats and foil backwards! Christo has a smile from dawn till midnight, even when he's back flipping off the mast. Casey is a chef and planner extraordinaire, every meal is a wonder of flavor and goodness. Chene looked after every need and want and made some awesome cocktails!

May '24 Charter
It feels just like yesterday we stepped onto this beautiful yacht, but also in such a short period of time we've had so many experiences and been introduced to so many beautiful places and the water! Thank you for making our first charter the most amazing experience we could have hoped for, including our night-time adventure which now has Jay believing he's a full-time captain from here on out!
Michael, thank you for getting us to all our destinations safe, and for the history lesson on the islands along the way, and for putting up with Jay's never ending questions about boating & the seas! Be ready for next year, Jay will be coming aboard with a year of boating research under his belt after this adventure! Casey, every meal was beyond beautiful! We know your cuisine was magic when the life jackets got too snug at the end of the trip. Josh, thank you for night chats and stories, great to get to know you and best of luck on your new boat, Captain! Nicole, you always knew what we needed without us knowing it!

April '24 Charter
We can't thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of us on our first boating trip! You are so amazing and made us feel at home the whole week. We truly appreciate all of your hard work and attention you gave us, from our little treats on our beds, to the best food ever, to taking us to quite the dive bar, and making sure we stopped at all the perfect spots on the islands! You were so fun to be around and I'm pretty sure Jimmy would love to become part of your crew! We will definitely miss having fun in the water and playing with all the toys on the boat. There's no doubt that we'll miss all of our gourmet meals when we head back to NYC. But most of all we wish you all the best on your upcoming adventures and travels and know that anyone who comes aboard Aeolus will be very lucky! -Jen & Jimmy Wilent
Thank you all for the perfect cruise. All of us on Aeolus this trip either own or have owned boats of our own and we know what it takes to deliver a special experience and you did that and more.

It was great that we got to see you in action for one of your last trips, go get em! Nicole, superb, sweet, smart, and all over it. Enjoy your new gig and we wish you well in your endeavor.

This 'forced family fun' trip was truly everything I imagined it would be PLUS more. Each of you has a true special gift and you so generously shared with us. Your patience, kindness, knowledge, your caring, and true love of what you do shone through.

What a beautiful week. The blessings bestowed upon all of us from Nicole, Michael, Josh and Casey were unbelievable. Nicole - thank you so much for the care you provided this week. You went above and beyond to show us love and care. Your love notes and flowers on our pillows brought me so much joy. Most importantly? I see that you take this seriously and actually love what you do here. It’s so nice and refreshing to see that! Thank you for being you. Casey - I don’t know where to start. Can I whisk you away so me and my family can enjoy your cooking? You had to accommodate so many different dietary restrictions and you did it with so much ease. Everything was superb. I pray in this lifetime I get to experience your cooking again. Thank you. I pray you create a cookbook of all your superb dishes… Josh! Thank you so much for your sweet and calm spirit. I see you working hard and being so present with us with the little things. Thank you for keeping us safe and ensuring we have fun. Continued blessings to you! Michael! Thank you for being our guide, for keeping us safe. Your humor daily was a joy to be around. Thank you for driving this boat with ease and getting us to where we needed to go. I also see your care and compassion for others. People look to you always for direction without knowing you because that’s who you are: a leader. Keep living your dream. If it wasn’t for Brandi and Steve we would have never been able to experience all of your beautiful individual talents. Cheers to Brandi and Steve for choosing the most amazing crew!

March '24 Charter
You all provided exceptional service and trust for my first time in the U.S.VI + BVI. You were all so caring, patient, friendly and professional. Words cannot describe being in your presence for a week! Casey, I applaud you for making my meals vegan and being so great at it. I am a big foodie, your meals have been the best I’ve ever had. I know you worked tirelessly to feed us and you’re seen for that. Nicole, your service is beyond first class. You treated us like queens and your drinks were the best thing I’ve ever had! The notes you left on my pillow is something I’ll take home with me to do in my household. Josh, you are quiet but you are seen for all of your hard work, physical work and making this trip so smooth and flawless - you are acknowledged! Michael, you also made the entire week flawless and your patience, humor and personality didn’t go unnoticed. You made a group of seven ladies who have control issues feel 100 percent safe, secure and at peace. Thank you all for your expert concierge! Thank you for the diet accommodation for myself, thank you Nicole for the amazing dance moves and thank you to the boys for making us all feel comfortable. Until we meet again! - Laurel
This was a trip of a lifetime with 5+ star crew. Sharing a week of adventures with The Lady Sirens was a blast. An amazing group of ladies, leaving as friends with stronger bonds. I can’t thank the crew enough. They made the week flawless. Make a request and they would make it happen. Casey - thank you for the amazing food. You covered us… we never went hungry. You quickly learned preferences and accommodated them with ease (well, you made it look that way). I wish I could even come close to the amazing, healthy meals and treats you made. True talent! Nicole - you are fabulous at your job. The energy. The service. Your notes of appreciation to encourage us. Always there picking up after us. Making sure I had ice water at all times. I wish I could bring you home. Josh - you tend to work in the shadows, but never too far away. I see the hard work you put in each day helping out your coworkers. Michael - you were an awesome captain. I will always remember you bringing out the map to show us the next day’s plan. Thanks for helping to make CrossFit workout happen! You’re the best. I have so much gratitude for all of you. I don’t have the words to express what you have given me. So many memories… a lifetime of them. I am so glad and thankful Brandi hosted this amazing trip/retreat. It was needed more than I knew. The crew made this adventure manifest to more than I could ever even imagine. Keep being amazing! - Candace

Thank you both for being such kind and thoughtful vacation planners, our trip was wonderful. We made a lot of memories together and are grateful for everything you did to make it happen! Here are a few of our favorite memories: Gumption and all he entails: entrepreneur, DJ, Tour Guide, Lemur expert, photographer, and promoter! Michael's pants being assaulted by the chair in Anegada; may they find the courage to be worn again in public. Billy Ocean and Casey's bellowing laughs on Murder Mystery Night. Mom and her lost and found jewelry and hat nearly being blown to Puerto Rico. Of course we will always miss and remember Casey's delicious food. Thanks for being so flexible with us; it's going to be a sad farewell at the end of this vacation. We wish you both well in your next adventure and hope to see you on the islands next season!

After our last charter, I think we all wondered if it was possible to match that experience...you guys exceeded it!! This was an amazing week with you both and it was so needed after a crazy, challenging few years. Casey, the food and service was perfect - we'll all be thinking of you when we're back in the gym. Thank you for making it amazing!! Michael, the quiet competence with a side of Texas sass. You did such a great job being our Captain, host, and guide. Thank you - we'd follow you both to any boat or place. This place is special to all of us and you made it more so. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

We stumbled aboard late, tired, stressed, and excited to start our week. Within the hour we were casually laughing and getting into the groove of the vacation of a lifetime. Words cannot express our thanks for all the delicious food, special cocktails, patience, jokes, and most of all just taking care of everything so we just had to sit back and relax. Everyone agrees: Exceeded our Expectations!
One thing is for sure, this trip would have not been as amazing, fun, and memorable without our Crew - Michael & Casey. You are the VERY BEST. We feel so lucky to have selected Liquid Zen and spent our week with you. Can't thank you enough.

What a ride (literally)! Our Iowa YPO group will forever remember your phenomenal hospitality. The week couldn't have been more perfect from the beautiful spreads of delicious food, the humor sprinkled in with fun music, flexible timing for our excursions, and tolerance for our "wild ones." You have found your calling and we are fortunate to have been your guests. We greatly appreciate your smiles, your never ending friendliness, and the quick-witted comments. We wish you the best because you are the BEST. Hope we get to do it again sometime! You've opened my eyes to a whole new world. Thanks for everything!

This trip was absolutely incredible and that is because of y'all! It was like being at summer camp with the two most fun counselors. You guys kept us in line with good suggestions and lots of delicious food. It was so awesome getting to know y'all, learning cool stuff about the islands, exploring new spots, and so much laughing. Casey - you're an amazing chef and the kindest person. Michael - you're an effortless captain and hilarious person. Thank y'all so much for making the week so awesome.

"To say this was the trip of a lifetime doesn't even come close to the true experience that you two created for our family. Our two families, though separated by distance, have been coming together for years, and this is by far the BEST trip we have ever taken. The attention to detail, your kindness, and patience truly stood out. We all know 100% for sure that we landed the best crew & boat in the entire USVIs. We all can't wait to return to meet again & experience the BVIs with you both. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"
-The Zaps
if you ever need an extra crew member for night watch, you know who to call ;)
"What a treasure it was to be a part of your Liquid Zen world for a week. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this the best week ever!! It is hard to pick a favorite day/memory from the week. The sunset hike, the "icing", the scuba diving, the FOOD, the drinks, pineapple card game, the night time snorkeling, will all be in our hearts forever. Your attention to detail is so impressive. The two of you make the best team and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Grant is already plotting the next boat trip to the BVIS, but we all agree we couldn't do it with anyone but the two of you! Take care and be safe, and we hope our paths cross again!"

"Thank you both for such an incredible experience on Liquid Zen! Even though our parents weren't able to make it, we had the BEST time and honestly wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe icing Brad at least *one* more time). This week truly was the best relaxation that I didn't know I needed.
To Casey: no words other than wow - this trip was filled with the most amazing food and really not sure how I can go back to reality at this point (lol) Thank You! To Michael: Thanks for being such a fun Captain despite our plot to lose the dinghy. Also thanks for initiating Brad into the family by icing him upon arrival. We won't forget these things along with all the other great memories!
We had such a great time hanging out with you both, and feel like we are leaving with two new friends. It's been an unforgettable trip & we can't wait to do it again! (maybe we'll even let our parents join next time haha). Cheers! Love Mollie, Hastings, Emily & Brad

"Thank you for saving our vacation from near-certain tragedy! Not only did we get a great boat, we got an even better crew. You are a great team and top notch across the board. You enabled us to make new friends (including you) while having the time of our lives. Not a boring moment. It is rare to find people in the world who are so good at making others feel so good, have so much fun, and make them eat so much!! We will miss you." -Shaun (aka boat man) & Betty
"What a fantastic week...and unexpected given the inauspicious start having our originally planned vacation canceled the morning of our flights. As it turned out, we were lucky. This past week was better than expected - good time with great friends, of course, but with a nicer boat and (I'm sure) a better crew. You two were great, organizing a fantastic itinerary with unexpected surprises - After Irma concert, massages, Lime Out, Zozos...and what wonderful food!!! Thank You!" - Heather and Lou
"We have lost ourselves in the moment of "today is today." I am hard pressed to think of another time in the last two years when I have felt so relaxed and carefree and slowed down. This was all possible because the two of you made things so easy, comfortable, and your knowledge of the islands and what you knew we would enjoy. There were too many highlights to pick out just one, but what I will remember the most is the belly laughs with the two of you and all our friends. Thank you for absolutely everything!" - Christine & Rob

"Michael & Casey,
Thank you for giving us a week full of experiences and memories that we will remember for a lifetime! From the food that was out of this world, to teaching Shane and Travis to scuba dive, and even showing us the ropes of sailing, we've had the most unforgettable week island hopping around the Virgin Islands!
Both of you have shown unbelievable kindness, grace, patience, wisdom, joy, laughter, and love to not only our family, but to each other! Each of you are truly an inspiration to us and everyone you encounter! Thank you for being such a highlight on our trip and welcoming us to your home with open arms. We hope you have an amazing 2022!

"We've traveled all over the world and this has to be our favorite vacation so far! Thank you for taking such good care of us! Michael was a great Captain from working the sails to navigating the dinghy in the dark. Casey - the meals, snacks, and drinks were way beyond our expectations - every meal was the "BEST MEAL" (seriously create a cookbook and make some side $$!!). Our trip has ended much too soon - let us know where you are in a year so we can book another charter with you! If you're ever in Atlanta, you have a place to stay so give us a call (same with Nashville! Come see us & we will take you to Broadway :)). God Bless you in all your adventures!"

Keith and Christo are PADI Dive Instructors. Between the two of them you are in safe hands exploring the underwater world!
Guests interested in diving are required to fill out a medical questionnaire/liability waiver and potentially obtain doctor's clearance prior to coming down to the Virgin Islands. Additionally, certified divers must send a copy of their diver certification card prior to the trip.
Aeolus offers a complimentary Discover Scuba Dive (Resort Course) to guests that are not certified divers (10 year old minimum age). This includes a ~1 hour safety and theory course along with a ~30 minute shallow water dive.
Certified divers can dive up to three times throughout the charter. Additional dives will be up to the discretion of the Captain based on the itinerary and weather conditions.
Aeolus offers diving education including PADI Open Water and Advanced courses. All E-Learning will need to be completed prior to the charter and we highly recommend completing the confined water sections with a local shop prior to the trip. This allows you to finish out the course with the open water dives and not consume too much of the trip!
Diving Costs information
All the necessary dive gear is complimentary onboard Aeolus. If you have preferred gear that works for you, we recommend bringing it along! Our vessel uses Scuba Pro Gear including everything necessary for PADI courses as well.
Open Water Referral Course: $400pp
Advanced Open Water Course: $300pp
Additional DSD Dives: $100pp
Payment for diving is preferable as Venmo or Cash to the Instructor.
We recommend getting DAN diver insurance or a comparable policy for your trip.

Captain Keith
Keith was first introduced to the global maritime world at 18 when he worked as a young ship broker in his hometown of Melbourne. Later, after finishing a degree in Sustainable Development Keith worked as a construction project manager until 23 when he discovered the yachting industry whilst sailing the Caribbean on a 40ft sloop. The hook was set, and Keith went all-in on his growing passion for the ocean and sailing. An avid diver and scuba instructor, he loves showing guests the underwater world and is eager to teach all, regardless of experience.
A purveyor of high quality stories, with 7 years in the yachting industry Keith has a few to share. From racing Schooner’s across the French channel, to sailing a famous Perini around the Balearics, boat building in Melbourne or cruising the eastern seaboard from Savannah to Martha’s Vineyard. Keith's favorite part about skippering on yachts is hunting for unique bays and the little hidden gems of the islands; from the best beach bars to reef full of life that can only be reached by boat and discovered with a mask and snorkel.

Chef Jamison
Jamison is the creative force behind Aeolus’ vibrant culinary experience, bringing a dynamic blend of fine dining expertise, warm hospitality, and global yachting experience to luxury charter life in the Caribbean. Raised in Canada with deep roots in the hospitality industry, she developed her passion for food and guest service through hands-on experience across restaurant service, bar, and kitchen roles before launching her yachting career in 2021. Since then, Jamison has cooked aboard yachts throughout Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Sardinia, and the British Virgin Islands, while also serving as Sous Chef aboard a prestigious 55m Feadship in the Mediterranean, where she refined her high-end culinary techniques and luxury charter service standards.
Most recently, Jamison worked on Moskito Island creating elevated dining experiences, lavish sushi spreads, and beautifully plated menus. Her background also includes serving as the Head Baker for an artisanal bakery and coffee shop in Banff, where she cultivated a strong passion for pastry and baking. She continues to expand her culinary expertise and plans to further her pastry training at the International Pastry Academy in Barcelona this summer. Known for her fun, personable energy and creative approach to cuisine, Jamison combines refined luxury dining with a relaxed, engaging atmosphere that perfectly complements life aboard Aeolus.

First Mate Christo
Christo grew up on the coast of Hermanus, South Africa, where we are surrounded by nature. Mountains and forest on the one side and a rough and cold ocean on the other. From a young age he has been a lover for the ocean and its thrills. Whether it is surfing, free diving or spearfishing he always enjoyed being in the water.
After he completed school, He received the opportunity to start a 1-year internship at Neptune’s Divers and cruises, After the year was over, He received a permanent position as sole deckhand and divemaster for 4 years. The fact that my office is on top and underneath the ocean makes me extremely happy. This is what drew me towards yachting, I just love being around or in the big blue sea.
----------------------------
Stewardess Chene
She was born in Gauteng, but grew up in the vibrant Western Cape, South Africa. She has a passion for mother nature as she has always been in/on or around mountains and the ocean. Her father always dreamt that she would work in the yachting industry as he was a huge lover of sailing. They would go out sailing with his friends at any opportunity.
After completing school, She moved from Cape Town to Onrus/ Hermanus and started
working in the hospitality industry. After a few years she met my life partner, who shares the same passions as she does. Her and Christo then decided to start our journey together in yachting. They continue to stay dedicated and determined to learn and grow within this industry and run successful charters.

Keith, Casey, Christo & Chene,
Words cannot express how wonderful our week on Aeolus has been. Barry has dreamed of a sailing trip like this for a long time, and celebrating our 40th anniversary this way made it truly special. This has been, without question, the best charter experience we’ve ever had.
Aeolus looked beautiful online, but the real experience far exceeded anything we imagined. The yacht is incredibly well-decorated, comfortable, and luxurious. The crew is simply outstanding.
Every meal was exceptional—creative, delicious, and full of flavor—paired with unique drinks and beautiful table settings. Truly the best food we’ve ever had.
We were 100% pampered. Every request was met with enthusiasm, and the crew was both professional and genuinely fun.
The water toys were fantastic, and we really appreciated the effort you all put into helping us learn and enjoy them. It’s clear you work incredibly well together as a team.
This is an absolutely beautiful place to experience with such a talented crew. You made us feel safe, cared for, and completely looked after. We would love to join you again.
Hugs to all,
Pam & Barry
What a fantastic journey—Aeolus was AMAZING! Every detail was considered and personalized. We felt incredibly special and cared for throughout.
There were so many thoughtful touches that made each experience unique—custom cocktails, beautifully prepared meals, and seamless service. Casey’s creativity shone through in every dish, and Christo’s attention to detail—especially with the water toys—was impressive. Everything ran effortlessly.
Keith—what can we say—an incredible captain. Each day was perfectly planned, and every location felt like the best one yet.
Saturday was especially memorable—so much fun, and every stop was perfection.
Thank you to the entire crew!

The experience struck the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. From snorkeling and e-foiling to simply enjoying the surroundings, every moment was memorable.
The food, drinks, and overall service were exceptional. The crew made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable.
We were treated like royalty. Without a doubt, the best crew anyone could ask for.

Thank you for the beautiful table settings Chené — you have set a new bar for us. The toys for all the water sports, the music, the food and the friendship made this week a true high point in the memories we will relive many times as we reminisce the joy in our lives. Thank you!!!

Words can’t express the deep gratitude I feel for the four of you. It has been a truly remarkable experience on this boat. Every moment has been considered, every meal tailored to our needs and every excursion exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Exactly what our family needed.
Chené, I appreciated every coffee, breakfast juice + mocktail. And the turndown treats were so fun.
Christo, your toys were so fun for the kids. I think this has been the trip of their lives!
Maria, the food was absolutely incredible — the flavours and presentation was always a delight.
Keith — thank you for taking us to so many cool places — Little Harbour was my fave. Thank you for always being so calm, cool and collected (I’m still not sure when/if I should be taking you seriously 😉).
This has been a very special week. We’ll miss you! And thank you for surprising us with Audrey’s birthday and our anniversary.
XO – Charis 😊
December 2025 BVI Charter
We chartered Aeolus in December, just prior to the holidays. Upon arrival, we found a magnificent yacht, maintained to the highest standards. The crew, led by Captain Keith, was just awesome, with First Mate Christo and Stewardess Chene taking great care of us upon our arrival. Casey, the chef, was just absolutely fantastic. Every meal was extraordinary, from breakfast to lunch and dinner.
We took part in every activity that the toys and gear allowed us to enjoy. We kept the crew and Captain Keith very busy with all of our activities. We used the e-foil, the sea bob and the sailboat, and the diving excursions were fantastic. The best part of our activities were actually sailing the boat. Keith took great effort to ensure that we got to sail as much as possible on our trip.
The entire crew absolutely spoiled us - they had a positive and can do attitude and approach for the entire trip. We can’t think of a single thing that could’ve made this trip any better. Our sincere thanks to the entire crew and we look forward to our next trip on board Aeolus.
Jeff
December 2025 BVI Charter
Keith, Casey, Christo & Chene,
Wow – what an amazing trip!! It was truly magical! 💗 You guys are absolutely THE BEST!!!
Your kindness & amazing attitudes made everything that much sweeter. From the gorgeous anchorage spots, to the very creative tablescapes, to the most delicious food where every meal was better than the next, to the plethora of water toys & Christo’s coaching (move forward!!! 😉) – it was all just the best cruise ever.
Your thoughtfulness in every detail makes us not want to leave, but apparently the next charter group doesn’t want our company!
The icing on the cake is the fantastic video & we will treasure it forever. Thank you!
You are the best crew & made us feel like family, while also spoiling the heck out of us! Looking forward to next time!
Love to all of you,
Jeff, Karen & Connor

We have travelled the world together as a family and this trip by far is our most memorable and favorite. From the scuba certifications to the fine dining to the endless laughter from the water toys to the beautiful tablescapes and never ending strawberry daiquiris to the warm smiles from AM to PM. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your four are gems as humans and we are lucky to have spent time with you. May our paths cross again in the future. With tons of love.

Dear Aeolus Crew,
We had a great time, we loved it. One thing we loved is the places we visited. Another thing is the food and the water toys. Another thing I liked is doing the bubble maker.

"To the AMAZING Aeolus Crew - This was an absolutely amazing week!! Every single detail was perfect!! The children had a blast and can't wait to come back #missionaccomplished!
Casey - the food was divine! A culinary experience to say the least! My favorite meal was the lobster, the best I have ever had! You managed to have our children cleaning their plates at every seating! Another mission accomplished. Thank you for all your hard work on our bellies behalf. Only wish we could have seen you more.
Chene - "Pleasure" doesn't even do you justice! Your kindness cannot be matched and the mixology of ALL things incomparable! Thank you for taking such good care of all of us and laying down the law with our kiddos! Your personal touches were the icing to the memories we will take with us. When we get a boat #youarehired
Christo - Thank you for making the kids' watersporting dreams a reality! You went above and beyond to make sure they knew what they were doing, were safe, and got better every day. I'm happy they figured out the water cannon on their own. You also made each dinner such a delight with your lighting expertise! #youarealsohired
Michael - Kudos to planning the perfect itinerary! You certainly catered to our watersporting desires. I hope we made this charter memory a lasting one. May the mark of Knox bring a smile to your face when you think of us. You played doctor more than you needed to and filled our brains with boating knowledge we will hopefully need one day! Good luck on your land journey!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts" - The RayBaums

"Thank you Michael, Casey, Chene, and Christo for a most memorable holiday week. Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived to the last morning. We lived in luxury, ate like kings, drank works of art, and learned that laughter on the water was the perfect way to spend days -- much of that laughter was watching each other try to master the e-foil. Each of your talents -- Michael's leadership, Casey's magic skills in the kitchen, Chene's wonderful ability to mix drinks and anticipate every need, and Christo's fabulous energy as he met our every water sport need -- created the perfect trip. The Aeolus winds made the weather just the right amount of sun and clouds too -- All Magical!' - Fondly Matt & Bobbi Hapgood

It feels just like yesterday we stepped onto this beautiful yacht, but also in such a short period of time we've had so many experiences and been introduced to so many beautiful places and the water! Thank you for making our first charter the most amazing experience we could have hoped for, including our night-time adventure which now has Jay believing he's a full-time captain from here on out!
Michael, thank you for getting us to all our destinations safe, and for the history lesson on the islands along the way, and for putting up with Jay's never ending questions about boating & the seas! Be ready for next year, Jay will be coming aboard with a year of boating research under his belt after this adventure! Casey, every meal was beyond beautiful! We know your cuisine was magic when the life jackets got too snug at the end of the trip. Josh, thank you for night chats and stories, great to get to know you and best of luck on your new boat, Captain! Nicole, you always knew what we needed without us knowing it!

We can't thank you enough for taking such wonderful care of us on our first boating trip! You are so amazing and made us feel at home the whole week. We truly appreciate all of your hard work and attention you gave us, from our little treats on our beds, to the best food ever, to taking us to quite the dive bar, and making sure we stopped at all the perfect spots on the islands! You were so fun to be around and I'm pretty sure Jimmy would love to become part of your crew! We will definitely miss having fun in the water and playing with all the toys on the boat. There's no doubt that we'll miss all of our gourmet meals when we head back to NYC. But most of all we wish you all the best on your upcoming adventures and travels and know that anyone who comes aboard Aeolus will be very lucky! -Jen & Jimmy Wilent
Thank you all for the perfect cruise. All of us on Aeolus this trip either own or have owned boats of our own and we know what it takes to deliver a special experience and you did that and more.

It was great that we got to see you in action for one of your last trips, go get em! Nicole, superb, sweet, smart, and all over it. Enjoy your new gig and we wish you well in your endeavor.

This 'forced family fun' trip was truly everything I imagined it would be PLUS more. Each of you has a true special gift and you so generously shared with us. Your patience, kindness, knowledge, your caring, and true love of what you do shone through.

What a beautiful week. The blessings bestowed upon all of us from Nicole, Michael, Josh and Casey were unbelievable. Nicole - thank you so much for the care you provided this week.

I see that you take this seriously and actually love what you do here. It’s so nice and refreshing to see that! Thank you for being you. Casey - I don’t know where to start. Can I whisk you away so me and my family can enjoy your cooking? You had to accommodate so many different dietary restrictions and you did it with so much ease. Everything was superb. I pray in this lifetime I get to experience your cooking again. Thank you. I pray you create a cookbook of all your superb dishes… Josh! Thank you so much for your sweet and calm spirit. I see you working hard and being so present with us with the little things. Thank you for keeping us safe and ensuring we have fun. Continued blessings to you! Michael!

You all provided exceptional service and trust for my first time in the U.S.VI + BVI. You were all so caring, patient, friendly and professional. Words cannot describe being in your presence for a week! Casey, I applaud you for making my meals vegan and being so great at it. I am a big foodie, your meals have been the best I’ve ever had. I know you worked tirelessly to feed us and you’re seen for that. Nicole, your service is beyond first class. You treated us like queens and your drinks were the best thing I’ve ever had! The notes you left on my pillow is something I’ll take home with me to do in my household. Josh, you are quiet but you are seen for all of your hard work, physical work and making this trip so smooth and flawless - you are acknowledged! Michael, you also made the entire week flawless and your patience, humor and personality didn’t go unnoticed. You made a group of seven ladies who have control issues feel 100 percent safe, secure and at peace. Thank you all for your expert concierge! Thank you for the diet accommodation for myself, thank you Nicole for the amazing dance moves and thank you to the boys for making us all feel comfortable. Until we meet again! - Laurel
This was a trip of a lifetime with 5+ star crew. Sharing a week of adventures with The Lady Sirens was a blast. An amazing group of ladies, leaving as friends with stronger bonds. I can’t thank the crew enough. They made the week flawless. Make a request and they would make it happen. Casey - thank you for the amazing food. You covered us… we never went hungry. You quickly learned preferences and accommodated them with ease (well, you made it look that way). I wish I could even come close to the amazing, healthy meals and treats you made. True talent! Nicole - you are fabulous at your job. The energy. The service. Your notes of appreciation to encourage us. Always there picking up after us. Making sure I had ice water at all times. I wish I could bring you home. Josh - you tend to work in the shadows, but never too far away. I see the hard work you put in each day helping out your coworkers. Michael - you were an awesome captain. I will always remember you bringing out the map to show us the next day’s plan. Thanks for helping to make CrossFit workout happen! You’re the best. I have so much gratitude for all of you. I don’t have the words to express what you have given me. So many memories… a lifetime of them.

Keep being amazing! - Candace

Thank you both for being such kind and thoughtful vacation planners, our trip was wonderful. We made a lot of memories together and are grateful for everything you did to make it happen! Here are a few of our favorite memories: Gumption and all he entails: entrepreneur, DJ, Tour Guide, Lemur expert, photographer, and promoter! Michael's pants being assaulted by the chair in Anegada; may they find the courage to be worn again in public. Billy Ocean and Casey's bellowing laughs on Murder Mystery Night. Mom and her lost and found jewelry and hat nearly being blown to Puerto Rico. Of course we will always miss and remember Casey's delicious food. Thanks for being so flexible with us; it's going to be a sad farewell at the end of this vacation. We wish you both well in your next adventure and hope to see you on the islands next season!

After our last charter, I think we all wondered if it was possible to match that experience...you guys exceeded it!! This was an amazing week with you both and it was so needed after a crazy, challenging few years. Casey, the food and service was perfect - we'll all be thinking of you when we're back in the gym. Thank you for making it amazing!! Michael, the quiet competence with a side of Texas sass. You did such a great job being our Captain, host, and guide. Thank you - we'd follow you both to any boat or place. This place is special to all of us and you made it more so. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

We stumbled aboard late, tired, stressed, and excited to start our week. Within the hour we were casually laughing and getting into the groove of the vacation of a lifetime. Words cannot express our thanks for all the delicious food, special cocktails, patience, jokes, and most of all just taking care of everything so we just had to sit back and relax. Everyone agrees: Exceeded our Expectations!
One thing is for sure, this trip would have not been as amazing, fun, and memorable without our Crew - Michael & Casey. You are the VERY BEST. We feel so lucky to have selected Liquid Zen and spent our week with you. Can't thank you enough.

You have found your calling and we are fortunate to have been your guests. We greatly appreciate your smiles, your never ending friendliness, and the quick-witted comments.

This trip was absolutely incredible and that is because of y'all! It was like being at summer camp with the two most fun counselors. You guys kept us in line with good suggestions and lots of delicious food. It was so awesome getting to know y'all, learning cool stuff about the islands, exploring new spots, and so much laughing. Casey - you're an amazing chef and the kindest person. Michael - you're an effortless captain and hilarious person. Thank y'all so much for making the week so awesome.

"To say this was the trip of a lifetime doesn't even come close to the true experience that you two created for our family. Our two families, though separated by distance, have been coming together for years, and this is by far the BEST trip we have ever taken. The attention to detail, your kindness, and patience truly stood out. We all know 100% for sure that we landed the best crew & boat in the entire USVIs. We all can't wait to return to meet again & experience the BVIs with you both. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"

if you ever need an extra crew member for night watch, you know who to call ;)
"What a treasure it was to be a part of your Liquid Zen world for a week. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this the best week ever!! It is hard to pick a favorite day/memory from the week. The sunset hike, the "icing", the scuba diving, the FOOD, the drinks, pineapple card game, the night time snorkeling, will all be in our hearts forever. Your attention to detail is so impressive. The two of you make the best team and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Grant is already plotting the next boat trip to the BVIS, but we all agree we couldn't do it with anyone but the two of you! Take care and be safe, and we hope our paths cross again!"

"Thank you both for such an incredible experience on Liquid Zen! Even though our parents weren't able to make it, we had the BEST time and honestly wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe icing Brad at least *one* more time). This week truly was the best relaxation that I didn't know I needed.
To Casey: no words other than wow - this trip was filled with the most amazing food and really not sure how I can go back to reality at this point (lol) Thank You! To Michael: Thanks for being such a fun Captain despite our plot to lose the dinghy. Also thanks for initiating Brad into the family by icing him upon arrival. We won't forget these things along with all the other great memories!
We had such a great time hanging out with you both, and feel like we are leaving with two new friends. It's been an unforgettable trip & we can't wait to do it again! (maybe we'll even let our parents join next time haha). Cheers! Love Mollie, Hastings, Emily & Brad

"Thank you for saving our vacation from near-certain tragedy! Not only did we get a great boat, we got an even better crew. You are a great team and top notch across the board. You enabled us to make new friends (including you) while having the time of our lives. Not a boring moment. It is rare to find people in the world who are so good at making others feel so good, have so much fun, and make them eat so much!! We will miss you." -Shaun (aka boat man) & Betty
"What a fantastic week...and unexpected given the inauspicious start having our originally planned vacation canceled the morning of our flights. As it turned out, we were lucky. This past week was better than expected - good time with great friends, of course, but with a nicer boat and (I'm sure) a better crew. You two were great, organizing a fantastic itinerary with unexpected surprises - After Irma concert, massages, Lime Out, Zozos...and what wonderful food!!! Thank You!" - Heather and Lou
"We have lost ourselves in the moment of "today is today." I am hard pressed to think of another time in the last two years when I have felt so relaxed and carefree and slowed down. This was all possible because the two of you made things so easy, comfortable, and your knowledge of the islands and what you knew we would enjoy. There were too many highlights to pick out just one, but what I will remember the most is the belly laughs with the two of you and all our friends. Thank you for absolutely everything!" - Christine & Rob

Thank you for giving us a week full of experiences and memories that we will remember for a lifetime! From the food that was out of this world, to teaching Shane and Travis to scuba dive, and even showing us the ropes of sailing, we've had the most unforgettable week island hopping around the Virgin Islands!
Both of you have shown unbelievable kindness, grace, patience, wisdom, joy, laughter, and love to not only our family, but to each other! Each of you are truly an inspiration to us and everyone you encounter! Thank you for being such a highlight on our trip and welcoming us to your home with open arms. We hope you have an amazing 2022!

Senior Spring Break – March 2021
‘Everything about this trip was absolutely perfect. Michael & Casey clearly love what they do and their passion shows. After a number of boat trips, this is my all time favorite and we will be back!’ – Monica
‘Thanks for the unforgettable week. Best trip we’ve ever had! Next time you’re in Rains look us up.’ – TA
‘Thanks for the perfect trip for us Newbies! The food and adventures – we will never forget. The attention to detail was on point! Can’t wait to sail with you guys again and thanks for making us “seniors” feel young again ’ – Angie
‘Thank you for an amazing week on the sea and in the sun! Top notch crew, my favorite yet, that didn’t miss a thing. I appreciate your attention to detail and how you went above and beyond on the menu and taking us to places we hadn’t been. You will be missed and y’all make us want to come back!’ - Stacey and Big Nate

"We've traveled all over the world and this has to be our favorite vacation so far! Thank you for taking such good care of us! Michael was a great Captain from working the sails to navigating the dinghy in the dark. Casey - the meals, snacks, and drinks were way beyond our expectations - every meal was the "BEST MEAL" (seriously create a cookbook and make some side $$!!). Our trip has ended much too soon - let us know where you are in a year so we can book another charter with you! If you're ever in Atlanta, you have a place to stay so give us a call (same with Nashville! Come see us & we will take you to Broadway :)). God Bless you in all your adventures!"
