DELANA MAE

Delana Mae Yacht Charter in the Virgin Islands

Step aboard Delana Mae, a 50-foot Lagoon sailing catamaran offering crewed yacht charters in the Virgin Islands.

Built in 2020 and refitted in 2023, Delana Mae offers more than 1,500 square feet of living space, a flexible four-cabin layout, and a lively mix of water activities. She accommodates up to eight guests with a professional crew of two, making her an appealing choice for families and friends who want to explore the islands together.

Comfortable Living at Sea

Delana Mae provides room to gather, unwind, and enjoy the views between island adventures. A 60-inch Smart TV and Bluetooth speakers offer entertainment aboard, while full air conditioning keeps the interior comfortable.

Outside, guests can share meals around the teak dining table or find a quiet spot to enjoy the Caribbean breeze. The combination of social spaces and private cabins makes it easy to balance time together with moments to recharge.

Four Guest Cabins

Delana Mae welcomes up to eight guests in three queen cabins and one smaller midship double cabin.

Each queen cabin has a private ensuite bathroom with a full shower, electric-flush toilet, and vanity. Individually controlled air conditioning, 110-volt and USB outlets, and reading lights add practical comfort.

The midship double cabin is best suited to children. Guests considering this cabin should confirm its layout and bathroom access before booking.

Fresh, Island-Inspired Dining

Chef Jenna prepares meals inspired by the flavours of the Caribbean, served around Delana Mae’s teak dining table. From relaxed breakfasts to dinners after a day on the water, the dining experience can be shaped around the group’s preferences.

Captain RJ and Chef Jenna bring a warm, attentive approach to each charter, helping guests make the most of their time both aboard and ashore.

1. Crew Friendliness:
RJ and Jenna could not have been more hospitable!! They were so gracious to all of us and made sure we were all individually having a great time.
2. Crew Knowledge:
Jenna really knows her stuff in the kitchen for different dietary preferences, and did a great job making delicious and healthy food for all of us. Her plating and tablescapes were creative and inviting. RJ knows so much about the industry, the area, the boat, the technology...we really enjoyed our talks while underway, and how he pointed out interesting stuff we would have otherwise missed. We learned alot, and not just about Pirates' DIce.
3. Quality of Service:
Top Notch. Everything we asked for, we got, including a swim with a turtle!
4. The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenna and RJ were very professional in what they handled, they worked well together, and they did it in an approachable manner. They are a stellar team.
5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:
We really appreciate everyone handling the change from the original charter to the Delana Mae.
6. On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding
7. Destination / Location:
USVI are beautiful, and getting to see them from a catamaran makes them more so.
8. Water-Sports:
Great toys to use, especially the Hangout. It was used quite a bit.
9. Overall Satisfaction:
This vacation will be difficult to top. May have to repeat.
10. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?
RJ is a champ when it came to photos and videos with his GoPro and the drone. He created a library for us to share our photos, and having those to look back on will always put smiles on our faces. It is difficult to pick just one. In general - how attentive and fun RJ and Jenna were. RJ and Jenna know all the fun things to do! We loved having pizza delivery via dinghy and a great highlight was probably our lunch at Lime Out. Such a unique experience!
