Escape the Ordinary

Epic Yacht Charters has done it again! This was our 2nd trip through them in 6 months. We booked through Hannah again because she made it so easy the 1st time. We also requested the same boat and crew because they are fabulous! Bluewinds is a great boat and Eben and Katie are the most fun crew. Not to mention Katie’s food, we looked forward to every delicious meal. Eben keeps everyone entertained and there is never a dull moment. I highly recommend Epic Yacht Charters and Hannah to help find the perfect boat and crew for any group. We will be working with her again, for a 3rd time!

Great charter in BVI Just back from a wonderful 6 night, 7 day adventure sailing in the BVI. Michelle and the EPIC team were super knowledgeable and responsive as we planned this trip. They guided us to a great boat (Gullwing) with a great crew (Will, Ana & Tia) - it was a 10 out of 10 experience. This was our first time chartering and Michelle walked us through every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Epic and use them again.

Best of the Best! Words can’t fully capture the magic of our week aboard La Vie Est Belle. As anyone who’s ever embarked on a yacht charter knows, choosing the right vessel and crew to meet everyone’s needs can be a daunting task. But with Michelle at Epic Yacht Charters, the decision was a breeze. She walked us through the options, highlighting the unique qualities of each vessel and crew. Thanks to her expert guidance, we selected La Vie Est Belle—and the amazing crew of Captain Pepijn and Chef Nicole.

The Vessel:
From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear that La Vie Est Belle was no ordinary yacht. Immaculately maintained and brimming with luxury, it had everything we could have possibly wanted. The modern Sonos sound system, retractable flat-screen TV, ice maker, espresso machine, and an impressive array of water toys made our experience unforgettable. Every inch of the yacht exuded care and attention to detail, thanks to its incredible crew.

The Crew:
Pepijn and Nicole are, without a doubt, the finest team in the islands. Pepijn’s constant vigilance ensured our safety without ever interrupting the fun. Whether he was inflating the giant Lilypad, ferrying us to pristine beaches, or guiding us to secluded coves for a swim, he was always ready with a smile and a solution. His warm, welcoming demeanor made us feel at ease from the moment we boarded.
And then there’s Nicole. Words truly can’t do her justice. Her culinary skills are on par with the best fine dining experiences we’ve had around the world. Every meal was a masterpiece, from the exquisitely carved fruit platters and freshly baked breads, to the perfectly seared steak and scallops. Her desserts were nothing short of jaw-dropping, and the homemade pizza, baked in an authentic pizza oven, was a true highlight.

We were onboard to celebrate my sister’s 60th birthday, and Nicole went above and beyond, decorating the yacht with beautiful streamers to make the day extra special. It’s these thoughtful gestures, along with their impeccable service, that sets Nicole apart.

The Location:
The British Virgin Islands are simply unparalleled in their beauty. Having traveled the world, we can confidently say the BVI’s crystal-clear waters, stunning landscapes, and abundance of beach bars and restaurants make it a top-tier destination. Add Pepijn’s intimate knowledge of the local waters and islands, and we experienced a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Every day felt like a new discovery.

The Conclusion:
Without a doubt, we’ll be back on La Vie Est Belle with Pepijn and Nicole again. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, far surpassing our expectations in every way. From the seamless booking experience with Epic Yacht Charters to the unforgettable hospitality of the crew, this journey will be etched in our memories forever.
Thank you, La Vie Est Belle, Pepijn, and Nicole, for making this celebration one we’ll cherish always. Thanks to your warmth, infectious laughter, and attention to detail, By the end of the week, it felt like we were saying goodbye to family, not crew.

Best BVI Catamaran Charter! - We have been to the BVI twice prior and chartered a similar boat. Our experience on Scuba Doo was first class and exceeded our expectations. The crew, Ya Ya and Hazel were phenomenal. They went out of their way every day to accommodate our requests and make an amazing experience for our kids. From tubing, diving, E-foiling, snorkeling and beach excursions every day was unique and memorable.

Scuba Doo is very spacious and well laid out. We spent most of our down time relaxing up front or up top. The boat has everything you need and high end appointments. The Wifi worked excellent the entire trip and was easy to check work emails if needed.

The food and attention to detail was fabulous. Hands down the best cuisine we have experienced on a BVI charter. Our kids who can be picky loved every meal and wished their mother could cook like Ya Ya. We were sad to leave but will always remember this trip and look forward to returning on a boat crewed by Hazel and Ya Ya.

Take us back to the BVI and My Ty! - Jamie, Ariel, and Nyla were absolutely fantastic!! They were the perfectly matched crew and My Ty was the perfectly matched catamaran for our family holiday! They showed us a bit of everything above and below the water in the BVI. Jamie, our accomplished captain, sailed us effortlessly to both hidden coves and well known bays. He led us on scuba dives through a ship wreck, coral reefs and found us turtles, rays, and a few sharks too! Ariel, our adept first mate, introduced us to all of the water toys, fishing equipment and shared his knowledge of the beautiful islands. Nyla, our wonder chef, customized our food needs and we scarfed every meal including homemade sourdough bagels (thank you Beatrice). Hands down, the best family holiday and we can’t wait to return!

Hands down the best! - We just finished a Christmas holiday in the gorgeous BVI aboard My Ty, Epic Yacht Charters!! Hands down, the best Christmas holiday for all 8 of us! Jamie, Ariel, and Nyla were absolutely fantastic!! They were the perfectly matched crew and My Ty was the perfectly matched catamaran for our family! Now that we’ve experienced the electric platform that lowers you into the sea, we’ll never want to scuba another way! They showed us a bit of everything above and below the water in the BVI. Jamie, our accomplished captain, sailed us effortlessly to both hidden coves and well known bays. He led us on scuba dives through a ship wreck, coral reefs and found us turtles, rays, and a few sharks too! Ariel, our adept first mate, introduced us to all of the water toys, fishing equipment and shared his knowledge of the beautiful islands. Nyla, our wonder chef, customized our food needs and we scarfed every meal including homemade sourdough bagels (thank you Beatrice). We can’t wait to return! Thank you Epic Yacht Charters!

Spectacular charter with Epic - We just had an absolutely spectacular charter on Mariah Princess III through Epic Yacht Charters. The boat is amazing, complete with every unexpected luxury feature so that now we are completely spoiled. The automated lowering tender “rack” had the tender in the water in fifteen seconds and was a game changer. The top deck hot tub was my preferred hangout, and the balcony platform that folds out from the wall of the primary cabin was extremely cool (though too small to be really useable other than for a quick photo shoot). We were very impressed with the level of finish and decor — every area was beautiful, welcoming, and very comfortable.

Captain Kevin and Chef Nicole were totally professional, considerate and a pleasure. My husband loved diving nearly every day of our charter with Kevin, whose knowledge of BVI dive sites is encyclopedic. Every one of Nicole’s meals was superb. Another superstar was our stewardess Beatriz who came in from Brazil especially to work this charter. Bea anticipated our every need and yet was totally unobtrusive. She had such a lovely personality that she made us feel right away that we were among friends. We would be thrilled to charter with this team again!

I doubt there is another catamaran in the BVI as desirable as Mariah Princess III, and Epic made the whole experience seamless. Hannah at Epic is simply the best in the business and we have total confidence in everything she recommends. We can't praise her highly enough. Epic is hands down our yacht charter company of choice -- five stars all the way.

Seemless! - From start to finish our charter in the BVI’s was seamless. Michelle at Epic was on top of it. Her responsively was impressive. The boat we chartered outstanding

5-star Experience - What an amazing experience! Our week on the Alena enjoying the beautiful waters of the Aegean Sea was a dream. Thank you to Kerry with Epic Yachts for helping us plan the trip of a lifetime and for making sure that all was well along the way. The 67ft power cat Alena was beautiful and her crew was so accommodating. The four couples in our group had plenty of space to relax. Captain Svetlin and Ody were so informative and provided us a very memorable introduction to Greece. Chef Everest prepared such savory meals, we completely changed our minds about eating meals ashore. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew. If you’re planning a yachting adventure in Greece, we highly recommend Epic Yacht Charters.
