Julle and Anna,
We thought about this trip for a long while. Our research led us to this boat. But most importantly, to you two. The boat served its purpose perfectly, but you both made the trip memorable.
This trip exceeded our expectations in many ways. You both were so accommodating. Julle, we felt completely safe and your knowledge of the islands helped us enjoy them fully within the week’s time. And Anna, what can we say? The lovingly prepared meals were spectacular—truly magazine worthy. No detail left unturned! We appreciated all the personal touches and how our rooms were kept clean daily.
We enjoyed our time together and getting to know you.
Until next time!

Julle was so accommodating to all of our requests. While he perhaps took a while to warm up, by the end, his droll sense of humor often had us all in stitches. He definitely had a knack for finding great mooring spots and would often solicit our input on where to go and what to do. Sails were smooth and very well prepared. Anna became like a Greek mother to all of us. While Captain Julle was strong and stoic, Anna was outgoing, loving, and joyful. She always knew when to offer food or drinks and was an outstanding fishing guide as well.
Anna is an exceptional chef. Each meal was prepared with love and joy. Presentation was outstanding. As for drinks, all we had to do was give her a brief description (i.e. Rum and fruity) and a gorgeous concoction was waiting for us in minutes.
We were able to do and see everything we wanted to see with plenty of time for each stop. Additions of Cooper Island was great and a bonus stop at Maho Bay in St. John on the last day of the trip was one of our favorites.
A fantastic adventure. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Thank you for opening my eyes to the beautiful Bahamas. It really is paradise on earth. I can’t think of better people to show us this beautiful piece of the world. Don’t even get me started on the food. It was AMAZING! The best food I have had ever. This trip is truly something I will never forget. Oh boy! Thank you so much 😁!

This has been one of the best weeks of my life! You both have been exceptional with everything you have done. Julie, you are the example of the “perfect” captain; always watching out for safety and getting us to the right place in the right time! I would really LOVE to come back and have another week with my husband As he would love to learn from you! Anna, I have loved- loved- LOVED how you cook so much in such a small space and EVERYTHING was so GOOD! I will take your recipes with me and remember how you made my 50th birthday trip the trip of a lifetime. You both have truly made our week of sailing the BVI’s so memorable. Bravo! To both of you!

Crew Review from Previous Yacht
We had a terrific time on our charter we took in February. It’s been a busy
couple of months for us since we returned but this review is long overdue.
Captain Julle Gylling and Anna were terrific and I would highly recommend them.
We all gained 5+ pounds because of Anna’s cooking. She could be a chef in any 5 Star fine dining restaurant. Really, really good. She kept us full, fat and happy the entire week.
Captain Julle is a terrific Captain. He knows the BVI very well and took us to some places that we didn’t even have on our list. He was always safe and did his best to make everybody comfortable on the boat. They made our catamaran vacation a wonderful experience.
Captain Julle and Anna are a great team and the Yolo II owners are very lucky to have them. They are very nice people. Can’t wait to do this again. As a matter of fact we have given their names to several of our friends who are also planning trips this year or in 2023.
Thanks
Tom

Julle,
Thank you and Anna so much for an incredible week. The food and service was exemplary and the yacht so well appointed. My vertigo finally subsided Saturday and I was able to travel back to the US as planned. Very sorry to have had that attack while aboard YOLO. I'll recommend you to anyone interested in a crewed BVI charter.
Best,
Barbara

Best regards,

In his journeys aboard private, delivery, and charter yachts, he has amassed over 100,000Nm and has lots of stories to tell!
Chef Anna
Julle met Anna in Santorini, Greece where she was working in a restaurant that he picked up charter guests at each week. Her fantastic cuisine and warm personality caught his heart and the rest is ”History”. Together they have sailed to many parts of the world catering to many exclusive guests. Anna’s career has included being a chef, hostess, deckhand, first mate, and stewardess. She is a fun-loving Greek lady. Over the past 9 years, she has been sailing with Julle around Greece, the Caribbean, Mexico & Belize, Italy, Croatia, Malta, Montenegro, and Turkey. Anna has a very strong background in food, hospitality, and customer care. She graduated as a graphic designer from Athens Akto Art & Design College in Greece. She has been in the fine dining industry since 1997 specializing in Mediterranean cuisine (Greek and Italian). When you taste her food and see her beautifully table setting, you will say ” Bravo ” for her meal prepared just for you!

Guest Reviews
February 2025
Julle and Anna,
We thought about this trip for a long while. Our research led us to this boat. But most importantly, to you two. The boat served its purpose perfectly, but you both made the trip memorable.
This trip exceeded our expectations in many ways. You both were so accommodating. Julle, we felt completely safe and your knowledge of the islands helped us enjoy them fully within the week’s time. And Anna, what can we say? The lovingly prepared meals were spectacular—truly magazine worthy. No detail left unturned! We appreciated all the personal touches and how our rooms were kept clean daily.
We enjoyed our time together and getting to know you.
Until next time!

Julle was so accommodating to all of our requests. While he perhaps took a while to warm up, by the end, his droll sense of humor often had us all in stitches. He definitely had a knack for finding great mooring spots and would often solicit our input on where to go and what to do. Sails were smooth and very well prepared. Anna became like a Greek mother to all of us. While Captain Julle was strong and stoic, Anna was outgoing, loving, and joyful. She always knew when to offer food or drinks and was an outstanding fishing guide as well.
Anna is an exceptional chef. Each meal was prepared with love and joy. Presentation was outstanding. As for drinks, all we had to do was give her a brief description (i.e. Rum and fruity) and a gorgeous concoction was waiting for us in minutes.
We were able to do and see everything we wanted to see with plenty of time for each stop. Additions of Cooper Island was great and a bonus stop at Maho Bay in St. John on the last day of the trip was one of our favorites.
A fantastic adventure. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Captain Julle & Anna,
Thank you for opening my eyes to the beautiful Bahamas. It really is paradise on earth. I can’t think of better people to show us this beautiful piece of the world. Don’t even get me started on the food. It was AMAZING! The best food I have had ever. This trip is truly something I will never forget. Oh boy! Thank you so much 😁!

I really treasure and appreciate all the sailing across the Bahamas! Thank you so much for the best adventure from feeding pigs and iguanas from sailing through little storms and teaching us about the water in Bahamas. The food was absolutely delicious; I loved the octopus. And the tubing was AMAZINg! Thank you so much for such a memorable trip.

This has been one of the best weeks of my life! You both have been exceptional with everything you have done. Julie, you are the example of the “perfect” captain; always watching out for safety and getting us to the right place in the right time! I would really LOVE to come back and have another week with my husband As he would love to learn from you! Anna, I have loved- loved- LOVED how you cook so much in such a small space and EVERYTHING was so GOOD! I will take your recipes with me and remember how you made my 50th birthday trip the trip of a lifetime. You both have truly made our week of sailing the BVI’s so memorable. Bravo! To both of you!
Love
Tina
PS I have your email and phone numbers so I will let you know when we are back on a boat so you can meet my other family members!!

Crew Review from Previous Yacht
We had a terrific time on our charter we took in February. It’s been a busy
couple of months for us since we returned but this review is long overdue.
Captain Julle Gylling and Anna were terrific and I would highly recommend them.
We all gained 5+ pounds because of Anna’s cooking. She could be a chef in any 5 Star fine dining restaurant. Really, really good. She kept us full, fat and happy the entire week.
Captain Julle is a terrific Captain. He knows the BVI very well and took us to some places that we didn’t even have on our list. He was always safe and did his best to make everybody comfortable on the boat. They made our catamaran vacation a wonderful experience.
Captain Julle and Anna are a great team and the Yolo II owners are very lucky to have them. They are very nice people. Can’t wait to do this again. As a matter of fact we have given their names to several of our friends who are also planning trips this year or in 2023.
Thanks
Tom

Julle,
Thank you and Anna so much for an incredible week. The food and service was exemplary and the yacht so well appointed. My vertigo finally subsided Saturday and I was able to travel back to the US as planned. Very sorry to have had that attack while aboard YOLO. I'll recommend you to anyone interested in a crewed BVI charter.
Best,
Barbara

Best regards,
