  CAPTAIN RUBRIO & CHEF/MATE LIZA

  Rubrio was fortunate to have grown up on the beautiful island of Madeira, surrounded by both sea and mountains. He was raised on sailing boats and developed a passion for everything both above and below the ocean’s surface, at a young age.
  As a water sports enthusiast, he explored all aspects of sailing from professional racing to cruising slowly around the world. He then went on to motor yachts and ran vessels ranging from small power boats and monohulls to large super yachts. Rubrio now has over 25 years of professional captain and commercial charter experience. He is dynamic, sporty, a lover of animals, easygoing, and always enters the room with a smile and leaves charter guests with an experience to last a lifetime.

  Liza’s love for sailing started at a young age, spending summers on her parents’ sailboat in the Netherlands where she was born and raised. With her two brothers, she spent much of her free time doing adventure sports, either on the water or mountain climbing. Throughout her student years in Amsterdam and Greece, she worked in various hospitality jobs. After obtaining her Master’s degree, she started a 10-year corporate career as a Customer Experience Manager, consulting multinationals on how to create memorable experiences for their customers. After working as a chef on several owner charters in the Mediterranean and working as a crew chef on an Atlantic Crossing, Liza not only fell in love with the Virgin Islands but she also learned how much she loves creating memorable experiences through her food. She is a true believer that the way to people’s hearts is through their stomachs. After working as a sous-chef in the 2024 summer season in the Mediterranean and her Yacht Chef culinary training in London, she is excited to start the next charter season in the Caribbean.

  Special

  From the moment we stepped aboard the crew made us feel welcomed and at home. They received us warmly and had a lovely cheese platter with some of our favorites and a Happy Anniversary banner to start off our celebration.
  
  We could tell our Captain is very skilled and we always felt safe. He paid special attention to what we shared in the preference form and brought us to some of the most beautiful and private spots that he knew we would enjoy. We were able to hike a few times, go shelling on several beautiful and private beaches where ours were the only footsteps. We paddle boarded, snorkeled, played with the SeaBobs and just enjoyed lounging behind the boat on the float. He showed us all the key spots in the BVI and adjusted the itinerary to come back to The Baths when the area would be more calm. He chose the best mooring and anchoring spots each day and evening and made sure we were in the most amazing, picturesque spot for our special romantic anniversary dinner.
  
  He and Chef share our passion for high quality and healthy foods and truly understood our preferred dining style. Captain's home made sourdough was one of the highlights of the trip… it is so delicious, healthy and waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread was a real treat.
  
  Chef never ceased to impress us with her creativity and exceptionally delicious dishes. Each meal was full of flavor, perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Her plating style is Michelin level and we had some of the most delicious dishes on this trip with quality and flavors rivaling some of the best restaurants we’ve visited throughout Europe.
  
  She carefully curated the menu each day based on our specific preferences and adapted and adjusted as she learned new things about us in conversation. For example, when Captain overheard us comment on how tasty the fresh guava was at breakfast, she adapted one of the desserts to include the guava, and in conversation Brian mentioned how he loved beef tartar but only orders it in Europe and at very fine restaurants, and Chef added a beef tartar course as a surprise for our anniversary dinner that was the best tasting tartar either of us ever had… we could go on about the meals from breakfast to dinner each day… one as good or better than another… we considered dining ashore but knew we’d only be disappointed.
  
  Captain came up with new and delicious mocktails for us each day and manned the grill one night for a fabulous steak and grilled veggie dinner. We really appreciated the crews teamwork and the care and passion they put into providing us with so many special experiences and memories during our time aboard Respite At Sea. We only wish we had chartered for longer.

  First Class

  A trip of a Lifetime and the crew made sure we were treated to a First Class Boat, First Class Captaincy, and First Class Food. I would recommend Respite At Sea. We were allowed to sit back and relax while the crew did ALL the work and at the same time waited on us hand and foot. What a team.

  Exceeded Expectations

  Every aspect of this trip exceeded expectations! The Respite at Sea was beautiful and spacious - it was immaculately clean and organized at all times. The most amazing aspect of the trip was our hosts. They were both gracious, kind, knowledgeable, attentive, FUN hosts! They were both patient and accommodating with all our needs and requests – from things we wanted to do, places we wanted to go, what we wanted to drink, what we wanted to eat. They planned and executed everything and anything that we asked! The food the chef prepared was beautiful AND delicious - every meal was a special event! We LOVED everything about our experience, and we can’t wait to go on another adventure.

  Simply The Best

  Simply the best!!! We have vacationed to many places but truly nothing compares to the friendship, care, expertise, food, and love that we received from them. The chef's cooking was 5-star.!!! Captain was a guide, a friend, a bartender- a man of all trades!!! If you are even considering this wonderful trip - just do it!!! They are the best! We will return and won’t want one thing different!!
  This boat is magnificent!!. It is so clear that the owner only chooses the best of everything. The crew lovingly cared for the boat and the passengers. The owner shared his wonderful wine. Everything was absolute perfection!!

  The Best

  Not enough stars to give to our crew...they were the BEST!
  One of the best vacations we have had; enjoyed every minute.
  Every meal planned was too good to miss; she took amazing care of us.
  Captain kept us laughing and entertained, and his attention to detail kept us feeling safe.
  Hope to come back soon and will look for a charter with this crew.

  Incredible Family Trip

  We could not have asked for a better week or a better crew. The boat was very comfortable and chefs food was amazing!  Captain is not only a great captain but managed to keep two teenage boys highly entertained! What an incredible family trip and I can’t thank you enough for being so wonderful with the boys.  We will have memories to last a lifetime!   Hope to see you two again.

  Most Memorable Vacation

  Exploring the BVI's on Respite at Sea with this crew made our first experience living on the water truly amazing. From Sea bobbing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, wake boarding and water skiing to exploring beautiful places and lively establishments. Captain kept us as busy as we wanted to be. He introduced his love of scuba diving to our son who now can’t wait to become certified this summer. Everything was top notch! The crew's welcoming personalities and knowledge of sailing made us feel right at home from the second we stepped on board. Chef took the time to prepare delicious meals that we couldn’t get enough of. My husband is Pescatarian and she thoughtfully prepared all his meals including special vegan desserts just for him. Respite at Sea was the perfect home away from home with so many areas to spread out and enjoy family time. Having traveled extensively, this was one our most memorable vacations thus far. We’re looking forward to doing it again on Respite at Sea! Hannah from Epic was great at getting us organized and ready to go and even checked on us along the way. She was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant to work with every step of the way, making the entire trip proceed with ease from beginning to end!

  First Rate & Top Notch

  This was our first catamaran charter sail and it was wonderful! The snorkeling, swimming, and sailboat are all amazing! First-rate and top-notch! However, what stands out the most were the impeccable meals, stellar service, and non-stop attention to detail from both of you!! I cannot imagine a finer duo anywhere on the seas. I cannot sing your praises loud enough or long enough. You're both so sweet, accommodating, and perfectionist in every way. Thank you both so much for a magnificent time and memory. We love you guys!

  Pampered

  This crew is top of their game. So fun. So professional. The cooking rivals any high-end restaurant we’ve ever eaten in and was delivered at that level every single meal! Truly amazing. The captain made amazing cocktails and took us to secluded anchorages we had never seen and we loved everyone. We had great sailing and we felt comfortable, pampered, safe, and happy every minute we were on board. We would sail with these two anytime, anywhere. Respite herself is a beautiful and very comfortable boat. Not one complaint.
