Stewart and Reeves were amazing hosts!! I will be sure to request them for any trips in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about Island Kisses crew, Stewart and Reeve. Experiencing the BVI’s is a dream in itself but when you have great people with you it makes it even better. Reeve is one of the sweetest humans I’ve ever met and an exceptional chef that puts her heart in everything. Stewart is the best captain, full of knowledge, and professional, with a witty sense of humor, we couldn’t ask for more! We love them both and will never forget our vacation in 2026! Till next time friends, you do you boo!!

Stewart and Reeve provided a first class experience for our group of 8. We loved them so much we booked another trip the following month. Stewart is not only an excellent captain but also great at recommending activities and fun to be around. Reeves’ amazing cooking skills was a highlight of the week. She is a very talented and thoughtful chef, taking into consideration the preferences of the group. She also made a birthday key lime pie for one of the guests. 10/10 recommend Stewart and Reeve as your crew if you’re looking for a memorable experience. We love them!

We had an absolutely incredible 7-day journey through the British Virgin Islands all thanks to Stewart and Reeve!!! They were beyond exceptional: professional, warm and genuinely dedicated to making our trip unforgettable - no matter our group! They anticipated every need, created a relaxed and fun atmosphere for all 8 of us and truly went above and beyond to make my birthday feel so special from start to finish. The service, sailing, meals and overall experience were flawless. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew - simply THE BEST. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

What an INCREDIBLE vacation!
Our crew, Stewart and Reeve, were fantastic!
The cuisine, fellowship and friendliness were beyond expectations. We feel we have made two wonderful new friends for life.
We would love to sail with them again! They made our trip so fun and enjoyable!

Island Kisses was my third boat charter and by far the best.
Stewart and Reeve are the perfect complement to each other and really make the trip special. Stewart has a quick wit and great sense of humor along with strong knowledge of the boat and surrounding islands. Reeve is a talented and accommodating chef as well as a very kind and sweet person. I will be following their careers to see where the land and hopefully able to book them again.

We just finished an unforgettable 7-day charter in the British Virgin Islands, and it was truly an amazing trip from start to finish. Captain Stewart was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and always made us feel safe while still keeping the experience fun and relaxed. The itinerary was perfect and showed us the very best of the BVI’s. Chef Reeve absolutely blew us away every single day. The food was next level—beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and honestly better than many restaurants we’ve been to on land. Every meal felt special and tailored to our tastes. The entire crew was attentive, friendly, and seamless, making the whole week completely stress-free. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t recommend this charter, Captain Stewart, and Chef Reeve highly enough. We’re already dreaming about coming back! 🌴⛵🍽️

Definitely recommend booking a trip with Island Kisses, you will not be disappointed!

I enjoyed an incredible experience of the BVI on Island Kisses. Stuart the captain was fun and witty and provided great information on all the islands/ locations we visited. Reeve the chef served delicious food and also contributed to a fun atmosphere onboard. Highly recommend Island Kisses to anyone looking to explore the BVI's!
WT

Had an amazing trip on Island Kisses with Reeve and Stewart. Stewart was a great captain and made everything easy and fun, and Reeve cooked some of the best food I’ve ever had. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re thinking about a trip in the BVI, I’d 100% recommend booking with them.
LT

Just spent the week on island kisses with Stewart & Reeve. Fantastic food & excellent itinerary! Tons of fun! We loved every minute. Awesome!!
MT

We had the best time on our Island Kisses boat cruise! We spent so much quality time as a family and didn’t have to worry about a thing. Stewart and Reece took care of EVERYTHING! We were so spoiled. I wish I could take Reeve home and always enjoy her cooking!
KT

Stewart and Reeve on Island Kisses went above and beyond to make our BVI sailing vacation extra special. They were both showed great flexibility in accommodating 6 adults. Stewart performed 2 overboard hat drills and rescued overboard glasses and shoes. Reeve is an accomplished chef who was able to effectively manage around food allergies and our likes and dislikes. We had excellent meals that satisfied all of us. Sail with Stewart and Reeve for a great vacation!
~B.L.

Just finished up a fantastic BVI vacation aboard Island Kisses with Stewart and Reeve. Stewart was witty and shared his knowledge of sailing and the history of the Islands with us all. Reeve was just a delight and we were amazed at the meals she made for us!
We started as strangers and left as family!
Thanks for all the hat and glasses rescues. You do you Boo!
~S.S

Great time in the BVI with Stewart and Reeve on Island Kisses! Reeve is a wonderful chef and really listened to our food wants and needs! She really provided a touch of elegance in the middle of the ocean. Stewart was a great captain and charted a wonderful vacation plan. He went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met. The two also did special things that came as a surprise to make this a really memorable trip.
We hope to do this again in the future and will seek them out! Vacation well done!!!

▶What was your first impression of the yacht?
The yacht was everything that was advertised and perfect for our group of 6. We loved having the multiple areas of the boat to hang out and socialize.

▶Was advertised equipment onboard and in good condition?
Yes

▶Did the skipper/hostess make you feel welcome and comfortable onboard?
The skipper and hostess did a fantastic job at making our vacation a pleasant one. Loved the captain cocktails every evening and the hostess made the onboard meals elegant and very tasty. They even went what I felt above and beyond to ensure we had special and memorable moments, such as a champaign toast on Sandy Spit and a island land tour on Anegada. My husband's luggage did not arrive, so the skipper took him to a resort to shop and then delivered personal items to our stateroom while we were touring. Such a first class crew!

▶Did you feel free to choose activities?
Yes, they were very accommodating in the planning of the activities. We did everything we wanted to do and some things that we did not even know existed based on their recommendations.

▶Please provide specific comments regarding your skipper and hostess.
As stated above, the crew did a fantastic job to make our vacation special. I have no negative feedback. Only positive things to say. The food was fantastic. Reeve is a great chef and is very passionate about making sure the food taste great and is presented in a artful way. Stewart is a master of his sailing craft. We felt safe the entire trip and enjoyed his story telling, morning briefs on "Where are we?", and interesting teachings of how sailing works. From 1 to 5 with 5 being the best, I give them a 6!

▶Were the meals and beverages as you expected?
Yes, the yacht was well stocked with various types of beverages that we included in our preferences. The meals were all delicious and a great variety of different types of food.

▶If you made any special requests were they met?
We did have some food allergies and strong dislikes that chef Reeve worked around them and delivered flawlessly.

▶Would you recommend this yacht for a charter vacation?
Yes, both the boat and the crew were outstanding.

Everything Was Absolutely Perfect!
Easily one of the best (if not the best) vacations I have ever taken. Everything was absolutely perfect. Stewart and Reeve were gracious and engaging and made our time together all the better. The Ether was well appointed, the meals that Reeve prepared were delicious and elegant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We had a group of 8 (2 families and our children) and had an absolute blast, making 2 new friends in Stewart and Reeve. A++++

Just Do It!
The trip of a lifetime!

We just returned from a week on the catamaran, and I’m still dreaming about the turquoise water, unforgettable memories, and—most of all—the incredible people we shared it with. Stewart and Reeve weren’t just skilled professionals—they were kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and truly unforgettable.

From morning coffees with a view, to meals that rivaled any five-star restaurant (seriously—every dish was a work of art), to belly laughs under the stars, every single moment was magic. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, but it was the people who made this trip so special. We came away not just relaxed and recharged, but feeling like better humans for having spent time with such extraordinary souls.

If you’re lucky enough to book this experience—DO IT. You’ll make memories that stay with you forever.

Crew Were Unbelievable.
These two were unbelievable…. They knew exactly what to do and kept us busy!! They were extremely nice and we all felt like friends.
Captain Stewart knew what he was doing and was a very funny guy.
Also, Chef Reeve made the best food I have ever had. The food was truly amazing. Overall great experience and I wouldn’t change anything about this crew.

I Couldn't Recommend The Crew Enough

I’ve never been on a trip where the crew has truly made an unforgettable experience.
Stewart and Reeve are the most amazing people.
Stewart radiates of positive energy and is full of funny jokes while Reeve is one of the sweetest girls who instantly became my friend.
Captain Stewart taught us how to sail while Reeve made the most delicious food (ask for the Caribbean chicken salad!!).
I couldn’t recommend this crew enough.

I Can't Give Enough Praise To This Crew
This was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.
Stewart and Reeve were absolutely amazing. Very patient with all our shenanigans.
The food was some of the very best I’ve ever had, Reeve is an absolutely amazing chef the presentation and the quality was amazing and delicious.(she even had her own herb garden she used in the meals)
I can’t give enough praise for these two truly the best experience ever!

The Best Kind Of Humans!
We are a family of three and this being our first sailing charter with a two person crew, we did not quite know what to expect. The boat was lovely, well appointed, and comfortable.

The real stars of our vacation were Captain Stewart and First mate/chef Reeve. These two are the best kind of humans! Generous with their upbeat energy and humor.

Whether sailing, snorkeling, or sitting around playing board games, we had the absolute best time with them. Frankly, we don’t know if we will be able to enjoy future vacations without them. I could gush on and on about how wonderful they are.

Cherry on top, Reeve is an exceptional chef, she made the most wonderful meals! We only ate one meal off the boat and I definitely preferred her cooking.

Reeve and Stewart were amazing! Our first time sailing with them (of many years sailing in the Virgin Islands) and they made sure we had a fantastic time. Reeve cooks a fantastic meal and Stewart pours a mean painkiller - we are heading home very well looked-after. Lots of sailing fun, diving competitions, and some mean card and board game playing at anchor. 10/10 and hope to sail with you both again next year!

Were Both Amazing
Good was great, boat was great, Stewart and Reeve were both amazing and brilliant company to have for a week.
Lots of snacks offered on board if someone got hungry between meals and we had lots of opportunities to explore in the ocean and on land, if we wanted.
Marin

Great Company
The crew was very helpful and funny and great company. The food was wonderful as well. Thank you to Stewart and Reeve!!!

Fantastic!
Our week exploring the USVI and BVI aboard *Ether* was fantastic, thanks to the skill and hospitality of Stewart and Reeve. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, but what made the trip truly special was their thoughtful approach and seamless execution.

Every aspect of the trip was customized to our preferences, from the itinerary to the excellent meals. Stewart and Reeve have a calm, confident way about them that made everything feel effortless. We know that sailing and hospitality come with their challenges, but if there were any, we never noticed—they handled everything smoothly.

Beyond the great experiences they created for us, Stewart and Reeve were simply great company. Spending a week in close quarters with them was easy and enjoyable, and we’d happily sail with them again. If you're looking for a charter, *Ether* with Stewart and Reeve is a great choice.
Beth H

Amazing Time
We had an amazing time.
Stuart and Reeve were incredible. They made the experience. We saw some beautiful spots, snorkeled and paddle boarded.
Reeve’s food was delicious. Presentation was great and food was very flavorful.
Stuart was not only a great captain but also a great bartender! 😀 Overall, we highly recommend Stuart and Reeve!

What a week!
Capt Stewart and Chef Reeve exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we boarded, they made us feel like Ether was our home.
With their signature warmth and humor, they tended to our every need.
We sailed, kayaked, snorkeled, learned how to do stand up paddle boarding, and did nothing at all when we felt like it.
On top of that, we feasted on Reeve’s creative and delicious meals three times a day. The trip may have been only a week, but our lovely memories will last a lifetime.
Patrice K

Gracious Hospitality and Care
There are some vacations you enjoy because of the location, others because of the wonderful food, and still others because of the excellent service.
Our time on the Ether with Stewart and Reeve combined all of the above and more. It was a perfect week of sailing the BVI - full of beautiful locations, lots of laughter and wonderful conversations with our dear friends, as well as our new ones, Stewart and Reeve.
They allowed us to be as active (or not) as we wanted . . . Lazy napping, paddle boarding, kayaking, a bit of snorkeling, a light hike, and taking the wheel of the Ether (without incident)! We would return to this boat - and with this crew - in a flash. It was a beautiful week we’ll always remember. Thank you Reeve and Stewart for your graciousness, hospitality and care. We look forward to sailing with you again very soon!

Most Memorable Time Of Our Lives!

To say that our week with Stewart and Reeve, aboard Ether was above &beyond our expectations doesn’t do justice to the incredible experience provided to us. From our initial communication, and throughout the entire trip, their attention to detail, easy-going and relaxed manner and humor created an atmosphere that was as special as the stunning beauty surrounding us.

The itinerary, planned by the amazing Captain Stewart brought us to sunny beaches, great snorkeling spots, hiking adventures, fantastic sailing days, paddle boarding, and “subnado” runs was eclipsed only by the scrumptious menu, crafted by our spectacular chef Reeve.

We’ll miss Captain Stewart’s morning breakfast calls, Reeve’s warm morning smile with a full pot of coffee in hand, all the laughs, and jokes throughout the day. We left lots of bubbles in the water, and took memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t thank this crew enough, or express how they really made our trip one of the most memorable times of my life.

Reeve and Stewart a special crew!

From The Bottom Of Our Hearts
Our charter on Ether around the BVIs was a trip of a lifetime. What an awesome way to connect with friends and explore a beautiful part of the world. Everyday was filled with a healthy mix of adventure and ‘painkiller’ cocktails.
Such a heartfelt thank you to Stewart and Reeve for such fantastic hospitality. I think we can all agree that we’re going to miss the banter, laughter, warmth and exceptional dishes that were served every day.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🫶

Returned last Sunday from a FABULOUS trip aboard the Island Kisses with Captain Andre and his beautiful wife/First Mate/Chef, Fifi! If you’re on this page you’ve probably already read about all the fun places to go and things to do. The BVI’s are an amazing place. If you haven’t already booked your charter I’m here to tell you to book this boat with this crew via [Broker}. This couple was professional, fun, easy going, flexible and made all our wishes come true. They even added a few things to our wish list we didn't even know we wanted! We had the perfect view of Saba Rock from our boat, amazing sunsets, and we even woke up one morning right in front of the Soggy Dollar cam! They knew where to go, when to get there, exactly where we needed to snorkel to see turtles, even recommended a swim in the middle of the ocean, which we all loved. Fifi’s AMAZING food, Andre’s specialty cocktails and fruit displays, and their all around willingness to serve us was above and beyond anything we expected. Espresso Martini’s every night after dinner! Our group had an amazing trip. Of course the location was part of that but Andre and Fifi were the icing on the cake. Hope you enjoy as much as we did!

To the world's best Captain & First Mate (aka Fifi & Andre!)
I can't imagine a more fun way to explore the BVIS! Everything from Fifi's gourmet meals to Andre's action-packed activities (and patience while we tried all the new things!) was absolutely perfect! Y'all helped us check things off our bucket list (swimming in the middle of the ocean !), took us to the coolest hot spots & hole in the walls, rescued our mahjong cards each time they blew into the water ( you think we would have learned !) & met us with a smile around every corner ! We are leaving with the fullest hearts (and bellies!) and best memories! You two are something special and we wish yall a life time of love!
-Allison & Chris

Thank you Fifi and Andre for an amazing week! It was truly an unforgettable time- the best 40th!! Thank you!
-Sarah and Travis

Andre and Fifi, our crew,
The best on the ocean blue!
They plotted our path,
To Cooper and the Bath,
‘Cuz they realized we hadn’t got a clue.

Lobster and steaks, fruit galore,
Pasta and fish and much more.
The food was sublime
As we sailed the coast line,
We ate ‘till our jaws were all sore!

We’re so glad we did something so hip.
It’s far better than a blah-blah cruise ship.
With our captain and mate,
The greatest of great!
Just a fabulous sailing boat trip!


“The time we spent on Island Kisses was amazing! We had family time, rest time, adventure time and just the most amazing trip ever! Fifi and Andre, you made the trip so easy and wonderful and we will remember you always!”

-The Herrschers

We had the best Spring Break ever!
Our favorite parts are when we went snorkeling on the reef and the wreck. We took some really good hikes and we found some big and cool shells and some good views.
Andre took us on some great tubbing and great wakeboarding. Fifi’s cooking was so good some of our favorite meals were steak, pasta, pizza and the desserts were so good, our favorite ones were the traditional portuguese dessert (Pastel de Nata), the crumble, and the lava cake.
Thanks Fifi and Andre for being so kind and making our trip the best ever!
-Ally, 9 years old

Thanks for such an amazing week Fifi and Andre! You were so great with our kids, took us on so many beautiful places, and the food was delicious. We appreciate all of your hospitality and will always remember this trip!
-Mike and Jen

To our new friends! To say we had fun is a complete understatement. Thank you a thousand times over for all the adventures! Island Kisses is a very appropriate name as you took such tender care of our family from the moment we met at the airport.
We look forward to seeing the wedding pictures on Instagram and praying all the blessings your union will bring.
God bless you until our paths cross again.

Thank you for a wonderful time. Good luck and great fun on all your future adventures. We hope to see you again.
T&T, P&T

Thank you for an amazing and very special week! We loved spending Christmas with the two of you. You did such a great job of accommodating our special guests and needs. You're great every step of the way, from the pre-trip planning to our final night, everything was amazing. You listened and noted and incorporated all our preferences to make sure we had the best trip. Fifi - we loved everything you fed us! The crab cakes, the ribs, the starters and snacks and all the incredible desserts. We were so very, very spoiled and pampered. Our cabins were so nicely appointed and set-up. We were comfortable and every need anticipated and accommodated. Andre - Thank you for planning an incredible route. We loved each of the stops, each more beautiful than the last. I can't even pick a favourite. Thank you for the smooth dinghy rides and the fabulous swim platform. You made every request seem possible always a "No problem" attitude. The playlist made the trip special as well. several songs will forever make me think of this trip. And, the beautiful pictures that you took with the camera and drone captured special moments for us. Thank you, thank you for all of it.

Cindy and Mike

We just finished an unforgettable 7-day charter in the British Virgin Islands, and it was truly an amazing trip from start to finish. Captain Stewart was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and always made us feel safe while still keeping the experience fun and relaxed. The itinerary was perfect and showed us the very best of the BVI’s. Chef Reeve absolutely blew us away every single day. The food was next level—beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and honestly better than many restaurants we’ve been to on land. Every meal felt special and tailored to our tastes. The entire crew was attentive, friendly, and seamless, making the whole week completely stress-free. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we couldn’t recommend this charter, Captain Stewart, and Chef Reeve highly enough. We’re already dreaming about coming back! 🌴⛵🍽️
