Escape the Ordinary

This was a vacation of a lifetime. I chartered the yacht "FOREVER YOUNG" from November 3, 2025 - November 10, 2025.
The charter was private, and all inclusive. The crew consisted of the very talented and knowledgeable, Captain Brian, and his lovely wife, Elena... aka: "Chef Extraordinaire".
I invited a wonderful, and fun family member, and his lovely girlfriend. We had no specific itinerary in mind. Fortunately, we left it in Captain Brian's very capable hands. We were shown the very best the BVI had to offer.
We also did a guided tour of the Animal Sanctuary on Necker Island, the private island owned by Sir Richard Branson. AWESOME!!!
The water sports and toys that were available on the yacht to utilize were unbelievable! Captain Brian's knowledge and skill on all equipment was impressive and impeccable. My personal favorite was the mini sailing catamaran. I actually monopolized most of the time spent on the mini cat.😁
We snorkeled at several islands. We saw turtles, sting rays, several types of fish, an octopus, and even a shark. On our last day of the charter, the waterslide was deployed. It was so much fun. All of us enjoyed the water toys very much.
Moving on to the lovely Elena. I have never eaten so well and tasted so much wonderful food. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were prepared daily. We were served a variety of fresh baked breads, won tons, bagels, pastries and more.
Along with the wonderful taste of our meals, the presentation of the meals and the themed table settings, it was fine dining at its best!!! ... Hence the title "CHEF EXTRAORDINAIRE"
I am truly grateful to Brian and Elena for their knowledge and expertise. They made this vacation a memory of a lifetime for me and my guests. I will never forget the two of you... "and in my heart you will remain "FOREVER YOUNG" ❤️

I would like to thank my broker, Hannah Mackie, for her contribution in booking this yacht charter. Her knowledge, experience, and personal relationship with Captain Brian and the lovely Elena, was instrumental in making this "EPIC" vacation possible. She was able to ensure that we were all a perfect fit and in turn create this unforgettable experience for me and my guests.
Thank you.

An Epic Greece Trip Epic Yacht is an awesome company to work with. Our trip started about a year ago with contacting Epic. They were super communicative and quick to respond to any emails/questions we had during all phases of our trip. No question or request was too small. Because of all the communication and planning ahead of time, our Greece trip on the SunMoon was Epic. We met our yacht and crew in Corfu. Captain Tasos, First Mate Mike, and Chef Panos were amazing. Captain Tasos would talk with us everyday about how to plan that day out and tailored to our desire (depending on weather/current). We were able to visit Kefalonia, Ithaca, Lefkada, Kalamos, Kastos, Paxos, and Antipaxos, far exceeding our expectations. They arranged for a self guided e-bike tour in Lefkada, got us reservations at a special tuna restaurant in Kastos, and recommended some great walks in Ithaca. On top of all that, SunMoon was spectacular. Very spacious for the four of us (plus crew), the water toys were all used and enjoyed (kayak, SUP, hydrofoil, sea bobs, skis, and wake board, snorkeling gear). The hot tub was a treat!
Oh, the food!! Panos is an award winning chef and his meals were delicious. It relied heavily on seafood and introduced us to new dishes. There was plenty to eat and they were always asking if there was anything else they could do. First Mate Mike is a great bartender and whipped up some delicious cocktails and Greek coffee.
Our teenagers loved every bit of this trip too. We highly recommend working with Epic and the SunMoon, though we’re sure any yacht will give you an Epic experience

Epic is Epic!!! This was our first time working with Epic Yacht Charters and while they have amazing on line reviews and checked out flawlessly, we still had no personal experience with them until our recent trip on Aeolus. We shouldn't have given it a second thought. It was all perfect.

The Epic team of Hannah and Michelle were just awesome. From my first introduction email to booking the charter to the experience on board, Hannah and Michelle were awesome. They got to know our group and gave us some great ideas as well as many things to consider. Once we narrowed down the yachts, they were very helpful in all areas. We can't thank them enough.

As for Aeolus. They are simply incredible. Captain Keith and all the crew were just amazing. They made our trip beyond special and just blended right in with our group. The water toys, for our 4 teenagers on board, were such an amazing hit but so was the incredible food and service. Overall, the best possible vacation! We all want to return immediately!!!! Thank you for caring so much and for helping us. We simply can't save enough good things about both Epic and Aeolus. If you have an opportunity, work with Epic and charter Aeolus!

Best Family Trip Ever! Epic Yacht Charters did an amazing job for us. From start to finish helped in all aspects of planning our trip and made everything seamless. Would strongly strongly recommend!!

Perfect Charter Broker! This year was our 3rd booking with Epic. Michelle should be your first and only broker call. Her experience working on charter boats makes her uniquely qualified. She does a wonderful job putting guests with just the right charter boat. 5-STARS!

Best vacation EVER This was truly an epic vacation of a lifetime! We have traveled with Epic yacht charters before in the BVI, so when we wanted to do another family sailing adventure, this time in the Adriatic, we called Epic. They delivered our favorite family vacation to date on the Adriatic Dragon with Captain Niksa and his fabulous crew! It was spectacular, with beautiful colors, sailing, and the history of millenia in villages dotting the islands that you can really only access by boat and with an experienced guide like Captain Niksa. Our family ranges from 20’s - 60’s, and he made it the perfect vacation for everyone - with personal experiences, military history, wine/honey/olive oil/oyster tastings, hiking and exploring. This was a personally curated experience like no other. Captain Niksa and his crew feel like family now - Tijo is (really) a master chef; Martina crafts custom cocktails; and Matthia is always ready with the next step! So much laughter, we just want to come back!

Fantastic! We had a fantastic time! Michelle helped with planning from day one, and even checked in during our charter. The crew was so nice, knowledgeable, and capable. Our captain got us to the best spots before anyone else arrived, so many times we felt we had the whole island or bay to ourselves. The chef’s meals were over the top! Our 8 day charter was a memorable experience. I highly recommend Epic Yacht Charters for a BVI vacation!!

Michelle is truly a professional - We are a returning family of 5, with 3 kids under age 11. Our first trip to the BVIs, planned by Michelle and her team at EPIC, was exactly that - EPIC! Michelle is truly a professional in all sense of the word. The time and attention she puts into the entire process and especially the trip itself, is unparalleled. She and Hannah truly care about ensuring an unforgettable and special experience tailored to your every need and hope for the trip.

We had heard about tandem charters (booking multiple boats that follow each other around), and we convinced our closer friends and their children do join us on another EPIC adventure. We booked Wanderlust again, and our friends booked La Sirena and Scuba Doo. Michelle and I had so much fun planning this special tandem family adventure for 9 girls under age 11, and their parents!! Having visited the BVIs several times, Michelle listened to my vision and dream itinerary and she made it happen, plus more! We visited the Baths on Easter Sunday and the crews on all boats worked together to plan out an Easter egg hunt for the kids as we explored the Baths!! It was beyond memorable. We also visited Necker Island and all of us held lemurs, baby kangaroos, tortoises, and saw so much for that incredible private island. Other trip highlights included side-tying the catamarans together on Peter Island and stern tying to the rocks, hiking Norman Island, scuba diving the airplane wreck at Great Dog. Honestly it’s hard to describe the experience we had and it wouldn’t have been possible with Michelle and Hannah hand picking the best crews and boat, and their behind the scenes work making sure all was going as planned.

There’s really no need to turn anywhere else - the EPIC team will ensure your chartering dreams have the best chance for success. Thank you again Michelle and Hannah!!

It was the best! Absolutely FIRST CLASS operation! We worked with Hannah at Epic Yacht Charters for our 7 day BVI cruise on the GULLWING. Every part of the process was 5 star. I would highly recommend EPIC to anyone wanting to charter a boat for a vacation. If you are going to cruise BVI and your budget allows, GULLWING is the best. Will, Anna, and Chanel could not have provided a better experience for our group. It was the best!!!
