  CAPTAIN PEPIJN

  Pepijn has been sailing for as long as he can remember. The first time he was put on a sailboat was as an infant sitting in a car seat, of course, being tied to a fender for safety purposes! Growing up, his love for sailing only grew stronger and by the time he was thirteen, he was cruising the North Sea on a small boat with his brother. Yachting isn’t just a hobby for Pepijn, it’s a lifelong passion. Over the years, he has collected various sailing licenses and certifications and has turned his love for the sea into a professional career. At university, he spent his summers sailing the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, taking international trips all over Europe.

  After realizing that a traditional desk job was not where he was suited, he decided to follow his heart and make sailing his full-time career. This decision has led him on some incredible adventures, and he is thrilled to be sharing his love for the sea with guests. He looks forward to creating unforgettable memories on the water together.

  CHEF/MATE NICOLE

  Nicole has been immersed in the world of hospitality and catering for the past decade. Cooking has always brought her into her most happy place; whether it’s whipping up a feast for friends and family, or hosting lively dinner parties. There is something magical about bringing people together over a great meal. Nicole has also been sailing since she was a child. Growing up, she spent countless hours on the water with family and friends and quickly became the go-to person for creating delicious meals onboard. This passion for cooking at sea led her to spend any amount of spare time she had within these last few years to sail around the Mediterranean and gain her culinary skills professionally.

  This work aboard yachts eventually inspired her to quit her full-time job managing a hospitality company and follow her dream of becoming a full-time chef in the beautiful Caribbean Islands. She can’t wait to share her love for food and hospitality and welcomes guests to join her for some amazing culinary adventures and excellent dining experiences!

  Time of Our Lives

  I spent my 60th birthday with my family on this beautiful boat! There are not enough adjectives to describe our vacation on La Vie Est Belle! Captain and Chef were amazing! The food and the service was to perfection. And Captain was qualified, discussing our itinerary and made our wants a reality. Bottom line, I would highly recommend this boat and this crew! We had the time of our lives! Thanks again!!

  Trip of a Lifetime

  We had an amazing time on “La Vie Est Belle”. From our arrival at Scrub Island, to island hopping to Jos Van Dijk, Norman Island, Guana Island, Peter Island, North sound and Anegada it was awesome! Captain did a great job managing our itinerary and all things related to the boat experience. He made sure we knew all the ways to remain safe and was very confident in his captain abilities. We enjoyed learning more about where he was from and all his sailing experience. Chef prepared the best meals we have ever had on a charter. From homemade bread and bagels to beautiful fruit and appetizer platters and the most awesome sushi night, we were amazed at every meal. She gave us great tips for things to do on the islands. The layout of the boat was really convenient for four couples, and we loved all the outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this boat and crew for the trip of a lifetime! Thank you!

  Amazing Week

  We had an amazing week on La Vie Est Belle and the crew was amazing. We always felt safe and at ease with Captain and he was able to find some calm waters to sleep despite a very windy week. Our Chef created the most amazing meals on the boat. From fish tacos to sushi night we were spoiled. She even made a homemade cake for my husband's birthday and my favorite pie.. Key lime! Would definitely recommend this vacation to anyone who loves to sail.

  Magical Week

  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 Lavie Est Belle—and the amazing crew.
  
  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:
  Captain and Chef are, without a doubt, the finest team in the islands. Captain’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 Chef. 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 Chef 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 her 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 Captain’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.

  Cannot Imagine A Better Experience!

  I could not have imagined a better experience. The captain is an extremely accomplished, experienced, knowledgeable and polite professional. His attention to detail is superb. The chef is amazing. I have been privileged to have eaten many places around the world at Michelin rated restaurants and without question, her meals are among the best I have ever had, all the way to the fantastic presentation from dinners to snacks…The fact that she does all of her cooking in a small galley makes it even more amazing…I have already recommended the two, as a team, to several of my friends… I could not imagine have a better experience. There is no question there will be a next time
