Captain Lené Conradie
Captain Lené Conradie was born and raised in George located in the Western Cape of South Africa. Since she can remember she’s always been up for any challenge, no matter the size, from playing tennis and field hockey at very high levels to crossing the Atlantic Ocean at 20 years of age. Straight after completing High school Lené went ahead and completed her Yachtmaster qualification along with other instructor qualifications, she has worked for two sailing schools in South Africa including the number one rated sailing school in the country. After crossing the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Antigua and island hopping until the BVI, Lené knew that she found her dream destination, The Caribbean. Lené prides herself in safety, professionalism and creating memories that last a lifetime. She loves to make sure that all guests are happy and would gladly walk,or in this case sail, an extra few miles to ensure that this is the case.
Chef David Ogren
Dave Ogren is a versatile chef with over 20 years of upscale culinary experience and a passion for bringing happiness to others through his culinary creations. Whether a simple grilled cheese sandwich or an intricate multi-course tasting menu, you can taste the love he has for his craft.
As a Michigan native, Chef Dave spent summer days of his childhood on the shores of Lake Michigan picking cherries and catching wild Perch. At this young age he discovered his love of cooking. After attending the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Dave went on to work in some of the top kitchens in New York City, Boston, and Cape Cod, including working under world famous chef Thomas Keller at the French Laundry in Yountville, California.
After a long and successful career in restaurants, Dave changed his heading to pursue new opportunities as a private chef. Dave has cooked aboard multiple motor and sailing yachts cruising the Caribbean, Bahamas, North Eastern United States, Mexico and Tahiti.

Deckhand/ Divemaster Herman Bester
First Mate Herman Bester hails from a small town on the west coast of South Africa called Saldanha. Herman has always had a love for the ocean as he grew up practically right next to the beach where he always found himself snorkeling, fishing, surfing and everything in between. He has a degree in Sports science but then found a new passion for scuba diving. His diving qualifications were done during the winter in South Africa so you might hear him joking about literally sweating while diving in the Caribbean’s beautiful warm waters. Ensuring that the guests are safe, happy and comfortable throughout all stages of a dive is something that he always strives for. With an eye for detail and a love for upkeep Herman takes great pride in the appearance of any vessel he works on.

Moon Shadow Memories will stick with us forever!!
Mar 2024 • Family
Our trip to the BVI on the Moon Shadow yacht was an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. The crew truly went above and beyond to make our time on board special. A special shoutout to Richard for his delicious culinary creations, Lené who navigated the waters with expertise as the best captain, and Herman who was always there to assist as the best deckhand. Their dedication and professionalism made our experience truly exceptional. Thank you to the entire crew for making our trip one to remember!
5 star catamaran yacht trip around the BVI- outstanding!
May 2024 • Couples
We planned an amazing catamaran trip around the BVI with yacht vacations. John DeWurst assisted with the planning and coordinating, he was extremely responsive to all questions regarding planning and prep of the trip, payment, etc. Eight of us traveled on the amazing Moon Shadow with the best crew Captain Lene, First mate Herman (H) and chef Christina. The yacht is a 65ft catamaran with amenities you only see at a 5 star hotel. We had every water toy you could imagine, we had a great itinerary and everything was smooth and seamless. Captain Lene kept us safe, H kept us entertained and full of espresso, lattes and drinks while Christina left us speechless with her beautiful tablescapes and delicious meals and snacks! The food was better than any I’ve ever had in the Caribbean. This was a trip of a lifetime. The yacht and the crew are the best you can find. They took care of us every step of the way. We would do it all over and there’s nothing we would change! Truly amazing, this is the company you want to use, this is the yacht you want to be on and this is the crew you want to have!! Stellar!
A week in the BVI aboard the Moon Shadow catamaran Yacht
May 2024 • Friends
We just returned from a one week charter on the MOON Shadow. Our amazing crew Captain Lene, First Mate H, and Chef Christina went above and beyond with every detail to create an unforgettable experience for our week. The boat is spectacular - from the top deck with sweeping views while sailing to the dining table overlooking the water. Each space was comfortable, spotless, and simply delightful. We were treated like royalty with gourmet meals paired with craft cocktails each day. We sailed to gorgeous places and always, first and foremost, felt safe. Our trip was customized and curated to exceed all expectations. We cannot express enough gratitude to our crew for taking moments and making memories. A true bucket list trip with dear friends.
Best catamaran in BVI!
The Moon Shadow catamaran was turning heads wherever we went! We were stopped by people all over the islands asking about our boat. It’s a showstopper for sure! Captain Lene, and first mate H left no stone unturned to create the best experience for our group. They were so laid-back but yet had everything timed out perfectly. Our chef Christina served beautifully prepared, delicious meals, and snacks. I am completely blown away by how well they all three worked together behind the scenes to create such an amazing experience. Cannot recommend this boat and crew enough!!
AMAZING TRIP!!!
Our experience on the Moon Shadow with Captain Lene, First Mate H and Chef Christina was top notch. These three made our experience so much better than we could have ever imagined. The food was delicious and they made us all feel so welcomed. We are working on booking our next adventure on this boat with our teenage children.
Epic week on Moon Shadow!!
Mar 2024 • Family
For our family of 9, including 7 adult “children,” Moon Shadow was the best vacation we’ve ever enjoyed! The water activities offered hours of laughter and competition! The crew (thanks to Captain Lene and Deck Hand H) were not only capable, but endlessly accommodating! Our food (thank you, Chef Richard) was both beautiful and delicious, every meal topped the one before!! The boat was immaculate, stunning and spacious! The views were breathtaking, both on the boat and during shore excursions. The shore excursions were tailored to our desires…shopping, beach football, searching for the perfect island cocktail. The name “Moon Shadow” will forever bring a smile to our faces!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, with no reservations!!
Heaven on the Moon Shadow
Apr 2024 • Couples
Our trip was 3 years in the making to get schedules to coordinate amongst our 4 couples. It was well worth the wait! We had such an unforgettable experience our feet haven’t touched the ground yet.
The Moon Shadow was a beautifully appointed yacht with all the amenities we needed and wanted. Captain Lene’, First Mate, H and our chef Sue took absolute tremendous care of us and did so with kindness and fun.
We spent 8 days aboard the vessel and our itinerary was mostly known but Lene’ made adjustments as needed (such as delaying a stop on one island to avoid the cruise ship crowd) and communicated with us daily, all the while making it clear that this was our trip.
It was a trip of a lifetime and a true vacation for the spirit, body and mind.
We are already thinking of planning our next charter!
Amazing
Mar 2024 • Couples
Moon Shadow: Thank you for 6 wonderful days in paradise! You were a great crew and planned the perfect trip! It was a week for us to remember for a lifetime. May you have fair winds and following seas. Thank you Lené, H and Richard.

Once in a Lifetime Experience
Feb 2024 • Friends
I cannot write high enough praise for the Moon Shadow and its crew, Captain Lene, Deckhand H, and Chef Richard. The experience was fabulous from the time we arrived in the islands and the service was white glove. Each excursion the crew planned was exactly what our group was looking for and their insider knowledge of the island made everything a breeze. The food was absolutely top-notch and you're lucky to be getting Chef Richard because he easily could be the head chef at a Michelin Star restaurant. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in the BVI, stop looking because you've found it aboard the Moon Shadow.
Moon Shadow - Trip of a Lifetime!
Mar 2024 • Friends
We spent a week on Moon Shadow - 3 couples who have been friends since college.
Lené (El Captain), H-Man and Richard -
Thank you for everything! I had no idea what to expect on a trip like this… Everything was amazing- The food, the views and your expertise was unmatched. I will never be able to step on another boat again! This was a bucket list trip and you guys crushed it! No stress and Happy days!!
Moon Shadow Yacht
Mar 2024 • Couples
A week on Moon Shadow was more that expected. Having been on a BVI charter previously, this was next level. The boat was great but the crew was exceptional. Lené, Richard + H man made aspect of the trip special. Never once did they take the easy -way. Always above and beyond to make our experience amazing. Lené, thank you for the best Captain-ing we have experienced. Never a moment of stres as you bought us to the BEST spots at the BEST times. H we were never without a water toy, best mooring balls, cold beer, champagne refills or fishing rods. Richard what amazing food and far better jokes. Your food made our experience luxury. We will be back!

Trip of a lifetime on Moon Shadow!
Mar 2024 • Friends
Wow Moon Shadow! What an amazing week. Every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned and executed. Lené as Captain made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. H-man was always on spot with Mike’s-Island, E-foil, toys, drinks, music and laughs making sure we were #1!!! Richard- every meal was incredible as were the jokes! We have all been friends for 20+ years and you provided an epic trip for us all. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon!
Jill (Cheese) and Adam.
Truly the best of the best!
What can I say other than: wow! Everything about the experience was absolutely 5-star. The ship itself is immaculate, the quarters are spacious and comfortable, and the crew was as awesome as one could hope. It was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend it more!
First Rate Vacation
Itinerary was so well thought out and executed. Crew was second to none. They were very proactive about safety, while making sure we were enjoying ourselves, not easy! Not to mention, the food was top notch, lobsters and crème brûlée just to name a couple examples. The catamaran itself was very comfortable, plenty of space for 8 passengers and 3 crew. I did not get seasick once for the 5 nights I spent on it. As for activities: snorkeling, island exploring, and just kicking back with a “few” painkiller cocktails at the bars was just the vacation I needed. Highly recommend! One tip, reapply sunscreen aggressively, BVI sun is very strong!
Moon Shadow
Trip was amazing. We sailed around all the islands. Incredibly helpful staff. Food was amazing, highly recommend this vacation!
Moon Shadow
Our 7-day journey aboard the Moon Shadow was exceptional! Accompanied by four other couples and led by a crew of three, our exploration of the British Virgin Islands became an unforgettable adventure.
Captain Lené set the tone for our trip with her confident and friendly demeanor. She sailed us to all of the top spots in the BVI. The "no stress" approach of her deck hand, H, added a layer of tranquility, making every moment aboard relaxing.
Richard, our chef, was a culinary master who turned each meal into a delectable masterpiece. I would not miss a meal if I were you!
The Moon Shadow is a beautifully appointed floating haven. From luxurious amenities to practical conveniences, the yacht provides a perfect blend of comfort and style. The inclusion of water toys adds another level of fun to water activities.
What made our voyage truly special, however, was not just the incredible yacht or the breathtaking locations. It was the crew – Lené, H, and Richard – who went above and beyond their roles, becoming not just service providers but new friends we hope to see again.

Captain Lené Conradie
Captain Lené Conradie was born and raised in George located in the Western Cape of South Africa. Since she can remember she’s always been up for any challenge, no matter the size, from playing tennis and field hockey at very high levels to crossing the Atlantic Ocean at 20 years of age. Straight after completing High school Lené went ahead and completed her Yachtmaster qualification along with other instructor qualifications, she has worked for two sailing schools in South Africa including the number one rated sailing school in the country. After crossing the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Antigua and island hopping until the BVI, Lené knew that she found her dream destination, The Caribbean. Lené prides herself in safety, professionalism and creating memories that last a lifetime. She loves to make sure that all guests are happy and would gladly walk,or in this case sail, an extra few miles to ensure that this is the case.
Chef David Ogren
Dave Ogren is a versatile chef with over 20 years of upscale culinary experience and a passion for bringing happiness to others through his culinary creations. Whether a simple grilled cheese sandwich or an intricate multi-course tasting menu, you can taste the love he has for his craft.
As a Michigan native, Chef Dave spent summer days of his childhood on the shores of Lake Michigan picking cherries and catching wild Perch. At this young age he discovered his love of cooking. After attending the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Dave went on to work in some of the top kitchens in New York City, Boston, and Cape Cod, including working under world famous chef Thomas Keller at the French Laundry in Yountville, California.
After a long and successful career in restaurants, Dave changed his heading to pursue new opportunities as a private chef. Dave has cooked aboard multiple motor and sailing yachts cruising the Caribbean, Bahamas, North Eastern United States, Mexico and Tahiti.

Deckhand/ Divemaster Herman Bester
First Mate Herman Bester hails from a small town on the west coast of South Africa called Saldanha. Herman has always had a love for the ocean as he grew up practically right next to the beach where he always found himself snorkeling, fishing, surfing and everything in between. He has a degree in Sports science but then found a new passion for scuba diving. His diving qualifications were done during the winter in South Africa so you might hear him joking about literally sweating while diving in the Caribbean’s beautiful warm waters. Ensuring that the guests are safe, happy and comfortable throughout all stages of a dive is something that he always strives for. With an eye for detail and a love for upkeep Herman takes great pride in the appearance of any vessel he works on.

Guest Reviews
Moon Shadow Memories will stick with us forever!!
Mar 2024 • Family
Our trip to the BVI on the Moon Shadow yacht was an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. The crew truly went above and beyond to make our time on board special. A special shoutout to Richard for his delicious culinary creations, Lené who navigated the waters with expertise as the best captain, and Herman who was always there to assist as the best deckhand. Their dedication and professionalism made our experience truly exceptional. Thank you to the entire crew for making our trip one to remember!
5 star catamaran yacht trip around the BVI- outstanding!
May 2024 • Couples
We planned an amazing catamaran trip around the BVI with yacht vacations. John DeWurst assisted with the planning and coordinating, he was extremely responsive to all questions regarding planning and prep of the trip, payment, etc. Eight of us traveled on the amazing Moon Shadow with the best crew Captain Lene, First mate Herman (H) and chef Christina. The yacht is a 65ft catamaran with amenities you only see at a 5 star hotel. We had every water toy you could imagine, we had a great itinerary and everything was smooth and seamless. Captain Lene kept us safe, H kept us entertained and full of espresso, lattes and drinks while Christina left us speechless with her beautiful tablescapes and delicious meals and snacks! The food was better than any I’ve ever had in the Caribbean. This was a trip of a lifetime. The yacht and the crew are the best you can find. They took care of us every step of the way. We would do it all over and there’s nothing we would change! Truly amazing, this is the company you want to use, this is the yacht you want to be on and this is the crew you want to have!! Stellar!
A week in the BVI aboard the Moon Shadow catamaran Yacht
May 2024 • Friends
We just returned from a one week charter on the MOON Shadow. Our amazing crew Captain Lene, First Mate H, and Chef Christina went above and beyond with every detail to create an unforgettable experience for our week. The boat is spectacular - from the top deck with sweeping views while sailing to the dining table overlooking the water. Each space was comfortable, spotless, and simply delightful. We were treated like royalty with gourmet meals paired with craft cocktails each day. We sailed to gorgeous places and always, first and foremost, felt safe. Our trip was customized and curated to exceed all expectations. We cannot express enough gratitude to our crew for taking moments and making memories. A true bucket list trip with dear friends.
Best catamaran in BVI!
The Moon Shadow catamaran was turning heads wherever we went! We were stopped by people all over the islands asking about our boat. It’s a showstopper for sure! Captain Lene, and first mate H left no stone unturned to create the best experience for our group. They were so laid-back but yet had everything timed out perfectly. Our chef Christina served beautifully prepared, delicious meals, and snacks. I am completely blown away by how well they all three worked together behind the scenes to create such an amazing experience. Cannot recommend this boat and crew enough!!
AMAZING TRIP!!!
Our experience on the Moon Shadow with Captain Lene, First Mate H and Chef Christina was top notch. These three made our experience so much better than we could have ever imagined. The food was delicious and they made us all feel so welcomed. We are working on booking our next adventure on this boat with our teenage children.
Epic week on Moon Shadow!!
Mar 2024 • Family
For our family of 9, including 7 adult “children,” Moon Shadow was the best vacation we’ve ever enjoyed! The water activities offered hours of laughter and competition! The crew (thanks to Captain Lene and Deck Hand H) were not only capable, but endlessly accommodating! Our food (thank you, Chef Richard) was both beautiful and delicious, every meal topped the one before!! The boat was immaculate, stunning and spacious! The views were breathtaking, both on the boat and during shore excursions. The shore excursions were tailored to our desires…shopping, beach football, searching for the perfect island cocktail. The name “Moon Shadow” will forever bring a smile to our faces!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, with no reservations!!
Heaven on the Moon Shadow
Apr 2024 • Couples
Our trip was 3 years in the making to get schedules to coordinate amongst our 4 couples. It was well worth the wait! We had such an unforgettable experience our feet haven’t touched the ground yet.
The Moon Shadow was a beautifully appointed yacht with all the amenities we needed and wanted. Captain Lene’, First Mate, H and our chef Sue took absolute tremendous care of us and did so with kindness and fun.
We spent 8 days aboard the vessel and our itinerary was mostly known but Lene’ made adjustments as needed (such as delaying a stop on one island to avoid the cruise ship crowd) and communicated with us daily, all the while making it clear that this was our trip.
It was a trip of a lifetime and a true vacation for the spirit, body and mind.
We are already thinking of planning our next charter!
Amazing
Mar 2024 • Couples
Moon Shadow: Thank you for 6 wonderful days in paradise! You were a great crew and planned the perfect trip! It was a week for us to remember for a lifetime. May you have fair winds and following seas. Thank you Lené, H and Richard.

Once in a Lifetime Experience
Feb 2024 • Friends
I cannot write high enough praise for the Moon Shadow and its crew, Captain Lene, Deckhand H, and Chef Richard. The experience was fabulous from the time we arrived in the islands and the service was white glove. Each excursion the crew planned was exactly what our group was looking for and their insider knowledge of the island made everything a breeze. The food was absolutely top-notch and you're lucky to be getting Chef Richard because he easily could be the head chef at a Michelin Star restaurant. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in the BVI, stop looking because you've found it aboard the Moon Shadow.
Moon Shadow - Trip of a Lifetime!
Mar 2024 • Friends
We spent a week on Moon Shadow - 3 couples who have been friends since college.
Lené (El Captain), H-Man and Richard -
Thank you for everything! I had no idea what to expect on a trip like this… Everything was amazing- The food, the views and your expertise was unmatched. I will never be able to step on another boat again! This was a bucket list trip and you guys crushed it! No stress and Happy days!!

A week on Moon Shadow was more that expected. Having been on a BVI charter previously, this was next level. The boat was great but the crew was exceptional. Lené, Richard + H man made aspect of the trip special. Never once did they take the easy -way. Always above and beyond to make our experience amazing. Lené, thank you for the best Captain-ing we have experienced. Never a moment of stres as you bought us to the BEST spots at the BEST times. H we were never without a water toy, best mooring balls, cold beer, champagne refills or fishing rods. Richard what amazing food and far better jokes. Your food made our experience luxury. We will be back!

Trip of a lifetime on Moon Shadow!
Mar 2024 • Friends
Wow Moon Shadow! What an amazing week. Every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned and executed. Lené as Captain made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. H-man was always on spot with Mike’s-Island, E-foil, toys, drinks, music and laughs making sure we were #1!!! Richard- every meal was incredible as were the jokes! We have all been friends for 20+ years and you provided an epic trip for us all. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon!
Jill (Cheese) and Adam.
Truly the best of the best!
What can I say other than: wow! Everything about the experience was absolutely 5-star. The ship itself is immaculate, the quarters are spacious and comfortable, and the crew was as awesome as one could hope. It was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend it more!
First Rate Vacation
Itinerary was so well thought out and executed. Crew was second to none. They were very proactive about safety, while making sure we were enjoying ourselves, not easy! Not to mention, the food was top notch, lobsters and crème brûlée just to name a couple examples. The catamaran itself was very comfortable, plenty of space for 8 passengers and 3 crew. I did not get seasick once for the 5 nights I spent on it. As for activities: snorkeling, island exploring, and just kicking back with a “few” painkiller cocktails at the bars was just the vacation I needed. Highly recommend! One tip, reapply sunscreen aggressively, BVI sun is very strong!
Moon Shadow
Trip was amazing. We sailed around all the islands. Incredibly helpful staff. Food was amazing, highly recommend this vacation!
Moon Shadow
Our 7-day journey aboard the Moon Shadow was exceptional! Accompanied by four other couples and led by a crew of three, our exploration of the British Virgin Islands became an unforgettable adventure.
Captain Lené set the tone for our trip with her confident and friendly demeanor. She sailed us to all of the top spots in the BVI. The "no stress" approach of her deck hand, H, added a layer of tranquility, making every moment aboard relaxing.
Richard, our chef, was a culinary master who turned each meal into a delectable masterpiece. I would not miss a meal if I were you!
The Moon Shadow is a beautifully appointed floating haven. From luxurious amenities to practical conveniences, the yacht provides a perfect blend of comfort and style. The inclusion of water toys adds another level of fun to water activities.
What made our voyage truly special, however, was not just the incredible yacht or the breathtaking locations. It was the crew – Lené, H, and Richard – who went above and beyond their roles, becoming not just service providers but new friends we hope to see again.
