Welcome aboard BLESSED, the newest and most State-of-the-Art 2024 Sunreef 80 available for charter. This luxurious yacht has been thoughtfully constructed by owners who have spent 20 years exploring the Virgin Islands. They were gathering inspiration in order to build the ultimate charter experience. Even the name, BLESSED, reflects the inner joy and peace often shared by the local Virgin Islanders. It is a common saying throughout the Islands, "Have a BLESSED Day." The yacht's mission is to provide their guests with a serene and unforgettable journey, which is reflected in her name. BLESSED offers a spacious and luxurious feel normally only found aboard Motor Yachts of the 130’ range. The open main salon, with galley up layout, creates a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Perfect for relaxing and socializing. The aft deck, with seating for up to 10, is ideal for memorable alfresco dining and conversation. It is complimented with an ice maker, 2 refrigerators and chilled filtered water for your convenience. The expansive flybridge is one of the most popular areas on BLESSED. It features 2 refrigerators, 2 ice makers, a wet bar and a 55” smart TV. With multiple locations for sunbathing or enjoying the shade, this space is designed for ultimate relaxation (and the occasional dance party)! It is also the ideal spot for taking in the spectacular underway views. The jacuzzi will bubble away any remaining cares that you may have. Four of the guest cabins are accessed through the main salon. Each one has a European King Bed and are equally appointed with the finest, most comfortable bedding. The en-suite bathrooms boast the most elegant rain showers imaginable. The Fifth Guest Cabin is accessed from the port aft deck. It is appointed with a double bed and an en-suite bath with rain shower. Water sports are a significant part of the BLESSED experience. The Yacht’s Toy Garage easily deploys into the water, providing effortless access to exciting adventures with the eFoil’s or SeaBobs! The hydraulic platform also lowers, getting you close to the Water’s Sky Blue Edge. Relax on a lounger or slip in for a snorkel. Or, enjoy a refreshing cocktail on the 10’ inflatable pool deck. Casual SCUBA diving is always an exciting option. Join us on BLESSED for an unforgettable rejuvenating experience. Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or simply a moment of inner peace, this yacht is your gateway to unwinding in your own special way.

Captain
Tim Miller
Nation: American
License: USCG 100 Ton Master
Languages: Tim: English, French, Spanish Julie: English & Food Lucas: English, Polish Nina: English & Afrikaans
Chef
Julie Brown
Nation: American
Captain Tim & Chef Julie have been a dynamic charter team for the last 25 years. Their 58’ Hatteras, McGregor II, was one of the busiest Motor Yachts in the fleet. When they lost McGregor II in hurricanes Irma & Maria, they rebounded and returned with their 60’ Jefferson Marquessa. After 5 successful charter seasons, they were asked to help in the design and construction of a new Sunreef 80 Power Cat, BLESSED. Living in Gdansk Poland for 6 months, they oversaw and managed the entire boat building process.

Hailing from Colorado, Tim graduated from CU with a degree in Environmental Biology. He has been a SCUBA diving instructor since 1979. Leaving Colorado, seeking adventure and travel, he taught SCUBA world wide, including Mexico, Tahiti, the Red Sea, and extensively throughout the Caribbean. With Tim, your snorkeling and diving experiences will always be safe, relaxed, and unforgettable.

After getting his 100 Ton US Coast Guard license, Captain Tim headed out for the Virgin Islands with his first boat, Mcgregor I. Establishing the VI as his home in 1986, he started a SCUBA school and began showing his family and friends the wonders of the Caribbean. In 1999, he met Julie Brown and they bought McGregor II. Together, they built a very successful charter business. An avid sailor as well, Tim has made several trans Atlantic crossings on 100+ sailing yachts.

Chef Julie Brown moved to the Virgin Islands from sunny California where she has been exploring the sunny coves of the VI for the last 25 years. Her culinary style specializes in the elegant balance of nutritional foods and fine wines. Julie’s cuisine features aromatic combinations of the freshest fish & meats, vibrant tropical fruits & vegetables, and of course, mouth watering desserts. Julie is also extremely skilled and happy to prepare your Paleo, Gluten Free, Keto, or Vegan cuisine. Chef Julie completed the Professional Culinary Program at the Cook Street School of Culinary Arts. Her training and outgoing personality ensures that every meal aboard BLESSED is a delightful adventure in itself!

Before joining Tim on the sea, Julie’s background in catering and her love of the ocean lured her to the warm blue waters of the Virgin Islands. Her interest in the underwater world was fueled by her years at Mary Baldwin College and the Duke University Marine Laboratory. During her final year at the Marine Lab, she spent extensive time studying and training octopuses. An avid snorkeler and SCUBA diver, Julie is always on the lookout for her eight legged friends!

Stewardess Nina Nixon joins us all the way from South Africa. Her yearning for adventure and travel led her out of SA to pursue the world of yachting. After completing her Green to Gold Course, and her South African Wine Education, she began her career on large Mega Yachts. Working extensively throughout the Mediterranean and the bays of Abu Dhabi, Nina honed her skills taking care of guests, making them feel special and valued. Her desire to make everyone around her as happy as she shines through every day. Returning to her home in Johannesburg, Nina continued her education in one of her primary interests, Dietary Nutrition. She holds her degree in Dietetics and Sports Nutrition. She is an active participant in the busy galley on BLESSED and is a certified mixologist. Cocktails?? Yes please!!

Lucas joins us all the way from Gdansk Poland, where Sunreefs are built. With a degree from Kozminiski University in Finance, Accounting and HR, he brings us a wide realm of experience. Lucas also attended the Warsaw Film Institute from 2016-2018. His outgoing and welcoming personality makes everyone feel well cared for! Wanting to leave for a warmer and “bluer” future, Lucas crossed the Atlantic on a Sunreef 70 sail and then spent several years working on multiple charter boats as both engineer and Captain. Before joining BLESSED, he spent the last year working aboard a Sunreef 80, chartering from the Bahamas all the way to the tip of Grenada.

Lucas is also a Water Sports enthusiast. Whether he is helping you master the e-foil or getting you familiar with the wake board, Lucas is always there with a helpful and encouraging attitude. He is a videographer and Advanced SCUBA Diver, capturing special moments above and below the sea!

Lucas is a licensed Yacht Master and brings his vast experience to BLESSED.

Together, the team on BLESSED have a unified goal in mind, giving you the best Holiday Vacation Ever! Join us,and relax in your own special way.
