Keagan and Josh
Everything on our charter was fabulous! We will definitely be chartering again. Everyone fell in love with sailing & the BVI’s-It truly is a magical place. The highlight of our trip was when we anchored off Necker Island in the most stunningly beautiful bay. It was so serene & the color of the water was breathtaking. To be with our loved ones in such a peaceful place felt like heaven. Some snorkeled some floated on raft, lots of fun conversations... it was pure perfection!
I strongly encourage Keagan to do a cookbook. She has a lot of amazing recipes from homemade condiments to the fabulous dishes she prepared for us. Shelly, your charter cookbook is still one of my all time favorites & such a fun souvenir. I so appreciate all your help & expertise, you guys are beyond FaBuLoUS!!!!”
We sincerely hope to sail with Captain Josh and Chef Keagan again
Our trip aboard Crystal Dreams was nothing short of epic. We first sailed 20 years ago, and it remains one of the top vacation experiences of our lives, so we couldn’t wait for our family to experience the magic of sailing the British Virgin Islands. This trip was every bit as incredible as we remembered (if not more!). From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations and created memories our family will cherish forever.
Captain Josh and Chef Keagan were absolutely incredible. Not only were they outstanding at what they do, but they were also so much fun to be with, it truly felt like traveling with friends. Captain Josh packed a lot of islands & experiences in our 6 days & went above & beyond, while Chef Keagan completely blew us away with her food. Every single meal was creative, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. The dining alone was a highlight of the trip!
The combination of amazing sailing, nonstop laughter, and world-class food made this an unforgettable experience. It was an epic trip in every sense of the word, and we sincerely hope to sail with Captain Josh and Chef Keagan again
Captain Josh and Chef Keagan were absolutely outstanding.
We just returned from our second charter booked through Yacht Charter Guru, and once again it exceeded all expectations. We first sailed with Randy & Shelly 20 years ago, and it remains one of the top vacation experiences of our lives—so we couldn’t wait for our family to experience the magic of sailing the British Virgin Islands. This trip was every bit as incredible as we remembered.
Captain Josh and Chef Keagan were absolutely outstanding. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to every detail made the trip unforgettable. Our family will never forget this experience! And I’ll be first in line when Chef Keagan releases her cookbook with all of her fabulous recipes.
Highly recommend Yacht Charter Guru to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable sailing vacation. Randy & Shelly's experience is unmatched.
This was a bucket list trip in a beautiful part of the world!
Dear crew, I will forever be grateful for Captain Josh keeping us safe and being so protective of the boat and his passengers. He is knowledgeable and a wonderful captain. He knows where we are going, what time to get there and the ride was as smooth as possible the whole time. He really cares about his job and the boat.
Keagen is a gifted chef!!! My goodness- everything she touched was spectacular and made with the greatest attention and detail. She is inspiring- we all want her recipes and to cook like her! The itinerary was out of this world! We didn't want to leave and want to go back as soon as possible. We can't decide where we like the best!! There was not one single spot we didn't love. The snorkeling was amazing, jumping of the top of the boat was a definite highlight for the kids! The open cabin was so spacious and peaceful. The early morning sails were so tranquil, Christmas morning will be treasured forever!!! This was a bucket list trip in a beautiful part of the world! We loved out time as a family laughing and enjoying one another!
Unforgettable BVI Charter with the Perfect Crew!
Our catamaran charter in the BVIs aboard the Crystal Dreams was an unforgettable experience, and Captain Josh and Chef Keegan took it well beyond our expectations. We all knew it was going to be a beautiful and exciting trip but didn’t truly know what to expect with the boat experience. From the moment we stepped aboard, we felt completely taken care of. They were incredibly kind and intuitive making a point to anticipate our needs both individually and as a group.
Captain Josh was exceptionally organized with the itinerary while still giving us flexibility and carefully considering group interest. He is clearly an excellent captain and had the perfect balance of professionalism and fun, running a tight ship while still being easygoing.
Chef Keegan was absolutely impressive always delivering beautiful and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had no idea we could expect that level of service on the boat. The few times we did eat off board, we wondered what we were missing out on. She was very attentive to preferences and carefully considered individual portions to satisfy all, as well as creating special celebrations for two birthdays on our trip. Not only was the food amazing, but her fun-loving personality brightening the entire trip.
Our group will be talking about this charter for years! We are so grateful that Captain Josh and Chef Keegan created a seamless, welcoming atmosphere that elevated our experience. Strongly recommend a sailboat charter in the BVIs. Cassidy with Yacht Vacations got us all set up. Captain Josh and Chef Keegan on the Crystal Dreams will ensure an absolutely fantastic trip!

What a beautiful week! We could not have had better weather, the boat was amazing - all of the amenities you could ask for on a boat. The hike up to Rams head was well worth it, Don't let the look of the distance stop you! Snorkelling at Sal pond was great too. Lime out was great, all the tacos were very good. Anything that we asked for, Heinrych went out of his way to get. Majori's homemade scones were great!
What an amazing week with the fab team Heinrych and Majori!

Guest Reviews
Keagan and Josh
Everything on our charter was fabulous! We will definitely be chartering again. Everyone fell in love with sailing & the BVI’s-It truly is a magical place. The highlight of our trip was when we anchored off Necker Island in the most stunningly beautiful bay. It was so serene & the color of the water was breathtaking. To be with our loved ones in such a peaceful place felt like heaven. Some snorkeled some floated on raft, lots of fun conversations... it was pure perfection!
I strongly encourage Keagan to do a cookbook. She has a lot of amazing recipes from homemade condiments to the fabulous dishes she prepared for us. Shelly, your charter cookbook is still one of my all time favorites & such a fun souvenir. I so appreciate all your help & expertise, you guys are beyond FaBuLoUS!!!!”
We sincerely hope to sail with Captain Josh and Chef Keagan again
Our trip aboard Crystal Dreams was nothing short of epic. We first sailed 20 years ago, and it remains one of the top vacation experiences of our lives, so we couldn’t wait for our family to experience the magic of sailing the British Virgin Islands. This trip was every bit as incredible as we remembered (if not more!). From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations and created memories our family will cherish forever.
Captain Josh and Chef Keagan were absolutely incredible. Not only were they outstanding at what they do, but they were also so much fun to be with, it truly felt like traveling with friends. Captain Josh packed a lot of islands & experiences in our 6 days & went above & beyond, while Chef Keagan completely blew us away with her food. Every single meal was creative, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. The dining alone was a highlight of the trip!
The combination of amazing sailing, nonstop laughter, and world-class food made this an unforgettable experience. It was an epic trip in every sense of the word, and we sincerely hope to sail with Captain Josh and Chef Keagan again
Captain Josh and Chef Keagan were absolutely outstanding.
We just returned from our second charter booked through Yacht Charter Guru, and once again it exceeded all expectations. We first sailed with Randy & Shelly 20 years ago, and it remains one of the top vacation experiences of our lives—so we couldn’t wait for our family to experience the magic of sailing the British Virgin Islands. This trip was every bit as incredible as we remembered.
Captain Josh and Chef Keagan were absolutely outstanding. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to every detail made the trip unforgettable. Our family will never forget this experience! And I’ll be first in line when Chef Keagan releases her cookbook with all of her fabulous recipes.
Highly recommend Yacht Charter Guru to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable sailing vacation. Randy & Shelly's experience is unmatched.
This was a bucket list trip in a beautiful part of the world!
Dear crew, I will forever be grateful for Captain Josh keeping us safe and being so protective of the boat and his passengers. He is knowledgeable and a wonderful captain. He knows where we are going, what time to get there and the ride was as smooth as possible the whole time. He really cares about his job and the boat.
Keagen is a gifted chef!!! My goodness- everything she touched was spectacular and made with the greatest attention and detail. She is inspiring- we all want her recipes and to cook like her! The itinerary was out of this world! We didn't want to leave and want to go back as soon as possible. We can't decide where we like the best!! There was not one single spot we didn't love. The snorkeling was amazing, jumping of the top of the boat was a definite highlight for the kids! The open cabin was so spacious and peaceful. The early morning sails were so tranquil, Christmas morning will be treasured forever!!! This was a bucket list trip in a beautiful part of the world! We loved out time as a family laughing and enjoying one another!
Unforgettable BVI Charter with the Perfect Crew!
Our catamaran charter in the BVIs aboard the Crystal Dreams was an unforgettable experience, and Captain Josh and Chef Keegan took it well beyond our expectations. We all knew it was going to be a beautiful and exciting trip but didn’t truly know what to expect with the boat experience. From the moment we stepped aboard, we felt completely taken care of. They were incredibly kind and intuitive making a point to anticipate our needs both individually and as a group.
Captain Josh was exceptionally organized with the itinerary while still giving us flexibility and carefully considering group interest. He is clearly an excellent captain and had the perfect balance of professionalism and fun, running a tight ship while still being easygoing.
Chef Keegan was absolutely impressive always delivering beautiful and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had no idea we could expect that level of service on the boat. The few times we did eat off board, we wondered what we were missing out on. She was very attentive to preferences and carefully considered individual portions to satisfy all, as well as creating special celebrations for two birthdays on our trip. Not only was the food amazing, but her fun-loving personality brightening the entire trip.
Our group will be talking about this charter for years! We are so grateful that Captain Josh and Chef Keegan created a seamless, welcoming atmosphere that elevated our experience. Strongly recommend a sailboat charter in the BVIs. Cassidy with Yacht Vacations got us all set up. Captain Josh and Chef Keegan on the Crystal Dreams will ensure an absolutely fantastic trip!

We were looking for a perfect boat trip and we found it here!
We were looking for a perfect boat trip and we found it here! The boat is absolutely beautiful with all the amenities you'd find in a hotel, including private bathrooms, comfy beds, the bar was stocked with everything, and if you run out, they'll gladly get more! Chef Majori made beautiful delicious and healthy meals that were well rounded - like ours will be now after this trip! Captain Heinrych is very skilled and confident.
What a beautiful week!
What a beautiful week! We could not have had better weather, the boat was amazing - all of the amenities you could ask for on a boat. The hike up to Rams head was well worth it, Don't let the look of the distance stop you! Snorkelling at Sal pond was great too. Lime out was great, all the tacos were very good. Anything that we asked for, Heinrych went out of his way to get. Majori's homemade scones were great!
What an amazing week with the fab team Heinrych and Majori!
Wow! What an amazing week with the fab team Heinrych and Majori! We got on the boat as a family uncomfortable on the water and left as a family who cant wait to charter again! Heinrych and Majori are such a great duo - so gracious and welcoming - we felt like they were family by the weeks end.
