The salon is open and airy with large windows that ensure beautiful 360-degree scenery. The salon features an inviting sofa for lounging or watching movies on the large cinema screen. The open galley has seemingly endless counterspace and is equipped with all new state-of-the-art appliances, fine porcelain tableware, and elegant glassware. The exterior of Some Kind of Wonderful is most impressive! The highlight of the yacht is the exceptionally large flybridge with dual access points for safe and convenient movement onboard. There is ample space for the captain to maneuver at the helm, with nearby seating to allow guests who want to be a part of the sailing experience to stay close to the action. The flybridge boasts an oversized c-shaped sofa, 2 cocktail tables, 2 bench seats, 2 lounge/day beds, and versatile awning. The flybridge's 2 convenient refrigerators maintain deliciously cold beverages and cocktails to enhance the picturesque views, tranquil sunsets, and evening breezes. The substantial aft deck is shaded by the flybridge overhead and provides 2 additional bench seats, 2 lounge/daybeds, as well as an elegant setting for formal dining. The foredeck with 2 additional lounge/daybeds, 2 bow pulpit seats, and 2 trampolines is a wonderful place for lounging, spotting turtles or dolphins, and immersing in the incredible views while underway. Some Kind of Wonderful accommodates 8 guests in 4 cabins: 1 king primary suite, 2 queen suites, and 2 twin beds that can be converted to a king upon request. Each cabin has a private ensuite bathroom with separate dry shower stalls, independent air-conditioning, complete with the finest quality bed linens, towel sets, and beach towels.

Some Kind of Wonderful is equipped with all new water toys including stand-up paddleboards, double kayak, 360 hangout, snorkel gear, knee board, tube, water skis, and more. The extended tender platform converts to a swim platform for easy access to water activities. After an adventure-filled day of sailing, water sports, swimming, or on-shore excursions, appreciate the well-lit and immense cockpit dining area as you enjoy an extraordinary meal with your friends and family. Take pleasure in a handmade cocktail prepared just for you by your professional crew.

Benita Marshall
Runners Up to Best Crew In Show at the 2024 VIPCA Charter Yacht Show
Capt. Lukata Samuel
Lukata Samuel is a 100-ton Master Captain, born and raised in the beautiful Virgin Islands. With a deep-rooted knowledge of the Virgin Islands and surrounding areas, his love for the sea began at just 8 years old at the St. Thomas Yacht Club, where he first discovered his passion for sailing. His journey in sailing grew as he learned, taught, and shared his skills. Determined to make an impact, Lukata traveled to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to teach sailing to local youth. Afterward, he returned to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, where he worked on day charters.
In addition to sailing, Lukata is a well-known local runner and triathlete, having competed in multiple triathlons across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In his downtime, Lukata and Benita can often be found racing sailboats, volunteering in the local community, or relaxing on some of their favorite hidden beaches. They also dedicate their time to a sailing and wellness program, teaching youth in St. Thomas both the fundamentals of sailing and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Lukata has a deep passion for sharing the island experience with his guests, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the Caribbean lifestyle. He is committed to pushing the boundaries of ocean adventure, crafting a tropical oasis experience for all who join him. Every charter he leads offers a rich, diverse experience, including farm-fresh provisions, special island tours, visits to local eateries, encounters with local artists, and much more to give guests an authentic taste of the islands’ food, fun, and culture.
Lukata’s greatest joy comes from helping his guests live their dream island experience. His pride is in providing a magical journey that stays with them long after they leave. Inspired by a quote that he lives by, “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience,” Lukata invites you to embrace the island spirit. Come be "irie" and catch the wind of wonders on Some Kind of Wonderful, as Captain Lukata sets sail for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Virgin Islands.
Chef Benita Marshall
Captain & Chef Benita Marshall radiates bright energy and has a deep love for sunset swims and fresh pesto. With over two years of experience and more than 1,000 nautical miles sailed in near-coastal waters, along with her USCG Master 100-ton license, Benita feels truly at one with the ocean, embracing wherever the waves lead her. Her family roots stretch across the Caribbean, from Cuba to Trinidad, making her a true "local island explorer" when it comes to food, culture, fun, and, of course, the sea.
Benita truly shines in the kitchen, where she transforms cooking into an art form. With over five years in the culinary and restaurant industry, she is experienced in accommodating various diets and allergies, believing that food should always make you feel better. Her favorite thrill is watching guests "dance when they eat," a joy she looks forward to with every meal she prepares. Alongside Lukata, Benita helps operate their family farms, Meder Mogzit and Greenridge Guavaberry, incorporating a farm-to-table approach to dining, ensuring every dish is infused with freshness and love.
Rising with the ocean's rhythm and the sun's light is how Benita envisions living her life forever. As a certified yoga and Pilates instructor, she believes that health is wealth, and she loves connecting with guests through mindful movement, meditation, and breathwork. Whether in prayer and meditation at dawn or doing flips off the boat by midday, Benita is passionate about nurturing both the spirit and the joy of life, making every moment count.
Together, Benita and Lukata offer an array of experiences, from farm tours and historic hikes to intimate encounters with local musicians and artists. They also create unforgettable adventures on the water, giving guests intangible souvenirs of their time in the islands. With their authentic Caribbean essence, Benita and Lukata invite guests to dive deep into island culture, food, fun, and the true essence of "island life."

Pass along my great thanks for an amazing dinner last night hosted by the fabulous Benita and Lukata on Some Kind of Wonderful.
Not only are these two so warm and kind, their obvious love for what they do is infectious. The meal was outstanding- in my 20 years, this may have been one of the top entrees I've ever had megayacht or sailing yacht.
So big thanks again to their hospitality and skill, it was an absolute pleasure.

Benita & Ziggy ,
I had no idea what to expect, but you guys made this vacation so comfortable and relaxing. Your cuisine was beyond compare! I knew once I booked this trip in Oct ‘23 I would love it once I saw the picture of you both.
There was nothing more I could have expected, I don’t think there is anything I could change except packing less (lol) . You guys should buy you own charter and do this yourself.
Let us know of all your plans!

Our family is Vegan SOS (no salt, no oil, no added sugar) Benita did an amazing job cooking , preparing and presenting a wonderful wide variety, beautifully presented and amazingly tasteful food. Every morning, lunch and dinner was a treat for all of our senses. Lukata was an amazing captain making sure all of us were happy and doing active/fun things . For example using the under water scooter, towing the kids behind the RIB motor boat, snorkeling, lounging in the water, setting us up with movies on the tv, playing Monopoly or card games, etc. We were looking for the experience of a lifetime before the kids go off to college and we found it with Benita and Lukata. We owe you both a sincere debt of gratitude. We hope you both live long, happy, prosperous, lives with much love, Christopher, Colton, Carina, Tiffany

Dear Lukata & Benita , our vacation to the Virgin Islands was OVER THE TOP!!! You two were the best hosts our 25 year anniversary celebration. All of your special touches did not go unnoticed. The table was set beautifully each day and each day was made even more magical with your decorations with ABOVE & BEYOND service . I’m not even sure where to begin as of describing the meals that were so lovingly prepared with the freshest of fruits and vegetables from the family farm and seafood cooked to perfection!!! You even took into consideration our love of steak and cooked the tenderest portion surrounded by the medley of flavors the sautéed spinach and the best home fries ever!!! AND THE LOBSTER!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!! We knew that we were in for a treat when the cheese board welcomed us on board. Lukata you showed us the very best secluded spots to make each adventure better than the last. You set a perfect private beach day for our anniversary. You had the toys ready for us to paddle board, float and even an underwater motorcycle. (So cool)!! Your bartending was exquisite ! Over all you both made us feel like family. TRULY! We look forward to sharing our experience and traveling with you again soon! Love you both dear family! Joy and Brent, March 10, 2024

Benita Marshall
Runners Up to Best Crew In Show at the 2024 VIPCA Charter Yacht Show
Capt. Lukata Samuel
Lukata Samuel is a 100-ton Master Captain, born and raised in the beautiful Virgin Islands. With a deep-rooted knowledge of the Virgin Islands and surrounding areas, his love for the sea began at just 8 years old at the St. Thomas Yacht Club, where he first discovered his passion for sailing. His journey in sailing grew as he learned, taught, and shared his skills. Determined to make an impact, Lukata traveled to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to teach sailing to local youth. Afterward, he returned to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, where he worked on day charters.
In addition to sailing, Lukata is a well-known local runner and triathlete, having competed in multiple triathlons across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In his downtime, Lukata and Benita can often be found racing sailboats, volunteering in the local community, or relaxing on some of their favorite hidden beaches. They also dedicate their time to a sailing and wellness program, teaching youth in St. Thomas both the fundamentals of sailing and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Lukata has a deep passion for sharing the island experience with his guests, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the Caribbean lifestyle. He is committed to pushing the boundaries of ocean adventure, crafting a tropical oasis experience for all who join him. Every charter he leads offers a rich, diverse experience, including farm-fresh provisions, special island tours, visits to local eateries, encounters with local artists, and much more to give guests an authentic taste of the islands’ food, fun, and culture.
Lukata’s greatest joy comes from helping his guests live their dream island experience. His pride is in providing a magical journey that stays with them long after they leave. Inspired by a quote that he lives by, “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience,” Lukata invites you to embrace the island spirit. Come be "irie" and catch the wind of wonders on Some Kind of Wonderful, as Captain Lukata sets sail for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Virgin Islands.
Chef Benita Marshall
Captain & Chef Benita Marshall radiates bright energy and has a deep love for sunset swims and fresh pesto. With over two years of experience and more than 1,000 nautical miles sailed in near-coastal waters, along with her USCG Master 100-ton license, Benita feels truly at one with the ocean, embracing wherever the waves lead her. Her family roots stretch across the Caribbean, from Cuba to Trinidad, making her a true "local island explorer" when it comes to food, culture, fun, and, of course, the sea.
Benita truly shines in the kitchen, where she transforms cooking into an art form. With over five years in the culinary and restaurant industry, she is experienced in accommodating various diets and allergies, believing that food should always make you feel better. Her favorite thrill is watching guests "dance when they eat," a joy she looks forward to with every meal she prepares. Alongside Lukata, Benita helps operate their family farms, Meder Mogzit and Greenridge Guavaberry, incorporating a farm-to-table approach to dining, ensuring every dish is infused with freshness and love.
Rising with the ocean's rhythm and the sun's light is how Benita envisions living her life forever. As a certified yoga and Pilates instructor, she believes that health is wealth, and she loves connecting with guests through mindful movement, meditation, and breathwork. Whether in prayer and meditation at dawn or doing flips off the boat by midday, Benita is passionate about nurturing both the spirit and the joy of life, making every moment count.
Together, Benita and Lukata offer an array of experiences, from farm tours and historic hikes to intimate encounters with local musicians and artists. They also create unforgettable adventures on the water, giving guests intangible souvenirs of their time in the islands. With their authentic Caribbean essence, Benita and Lukata invite guests to dive deep into island culture, food, fun, and the true essence of "island life."

Pass along my great thanks for an amazing dinner last night hosted by the fabulous Benita and Lukata on Some Kind of Wonderful.
Not only are these two so warm and kind, their obvious love for what they do is infectious. The meal was outstanding- in my 20 years, this may have been one of the top entrees I've ever had megayacht or sailing yacht.
So big thanks again to their hospitality and skill, it was an absolute pleasure.

Benita & Ziggy ,
I had no idea what to expect, but you guys made this vacation so comfortable and relaxing. Your cuisine was beyond compare! I knew once I booked this trip in Oct ‘23 I would love it once I saw the picture of you both.
There was nothing more I could have expected, I don’t think there is anything I could change except packing less (lol) . You guys should buy you own charter and do this yourself.
Let us know of all your plans!

Our family is Vegan SOS (no salt, no oil, no added sugar) Benita did an amazing job cooking , preparing and presenting a wonderful wide variety, beautifully presented and amazingly tasteful food. Every morning, lunch and dinner was a treat for all of our senses. Lukata was an amazing captain making sure all of us were happy and doing active/fun things . For example using the under water scooter, towing the kids behind the RIB motor boat, snorkeling, lounging in the water, setting us up with movies on the tv, playing Monopoly or card games, etc. We were looking for the experience of a lifetime before the kids go off to college and we found it with Benita and Lukata. We owe you both a sincere debt of gratitude. We hope you both live long, happy, prosperous, lives with much love, Christopher, Colton, Carina, Tiffany

Dear Lukata & Benita , our vacation to the Virgin Islands was OVER THE TOP!!! You two were the best hosts our 25 year anniversary celebration. All of your special touches did not go unnoticed. The table was set beautifully each day and each day was made even more magical with your decorations with ABOVE & BEYOND service . I’m not even sure where to begin as of describing the meals that were so lovingly prepared with the freshest of fruits and vegetables from the family farm and seafood cooked to perfection!!! You even took into consideration our love of steak and cooked the tenderest portion surrounded by the medley of flavors the sautéed spinach and the best home fries ever!!! AND THE LOBSTER!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!! We knew that we were in for a treat when the cheese board welcomed us on board. Lukata you showed us the very best secluded spots to make each adventure better than the last. You set a perfect private beach day for our anniversary. You had the toys ready for us to paddle board, float and even an underwater motorcycle. (So cool)!! Your bartending was exquisite ! Over all you both made us feel like family. TRULY! We look forward to sharing our experience and traveling with you again soon! Love you both dear family! Joy and Brent, March 10, 2024
