Our favorite memories were: "Loot, loot, loot!"; kneeboarding (stand up on it); The Baths; sailing lesson at Bitter End Yacht Club; our night at Cane Garden Bay; steaks on the boat; conch hunting in Anegada and watching the guide catch the lobster; movie night with Adriane's blondies, delicious!; and Soggy Dollar.
Thank you for the experience of a lifetime! We have made memories here we will never forget! Captain Bryan, thank you for putting your all into every single day; the trip wouldn't be the same without you! Chef Adriane, the food was amazing but the cool talks and "beachy" advice you gave is what we will carry with us! We hope to see you again and bless you both!!!

Our favorite memories were the slow mornings with amazing coffee and stretches; "seabobbing" around to check out the underworld; jumping off the Kasiopeja plunge to our "walkout" songs; sailing the open water to yacht rock up top; front row at Lime Out; pizza at Christmas Cove; stargazing and Loot every night... but overall... the food was incredible and the conversations over sunsets and dinner will be what we remember the most!
Thank you, Captain Bryan and Chef Adriane, for an unforgettable experience. Your fun-loving attitudes and the care you put into each day making it special for us and the girls was appreciated beyond words. May God bless each of you as you head into your next adventure.

* So much snorkeling with amazing sea creatures - "Rocky" the octopus, rays, turtles! * Movie night * Having The Baths and bubbly pool to ourselves! * Sailing to Anegada * Snorkeling the conch mounds and fishing for our own conch * Our amazing crew and dinner at the Wonky Dog! * Soggy Dollar day! *
Can't thank you enough for our "trip of a lifetime!" So wonderful to get away from our "normal lives" for a week and explore this amazing corner of the world. You provided adventures, fantastic service, and the best cuisine. Captain Bryan and Chef Adriane for the win!

Take all of the opportunities off the boat you can--the recommendations from our knowledgeable crew really helped us enjoy our trip. Best places to snorkel, bars, restaurants, islands . . . they know the best spots. Trusting and taking advantage of that was HUGE. BEST CREW!!!
Looking back on our voyage, the only words that come to mind are, "Hell yeah brother!" Painkillers were drunk, gainers were attempted, and laughs were in abundance.

Island Hoppers aboard Kasiopeja was more than a vacation. From snorkeling through crystal clear waters filled with vibrant fish, to the unforgettable moments spotting sea turtles gliding beside us, the elevated cuisine from Chef Sylvie, the thoughtful accommodating nautical genius of Captain Bryan (service like no other in the Virgin Islands) every day brought new wonder and gratitude.
But the best part of the journey was the laughter shared, the memories made, and the deeper connection we found with each other and with God through the beauty of these islands. The USVI gave us sunshine, saltwater, and unforgettable experiences -- but this trip gave us perspective, peace, and joy.
Until the next adventure . . .

We loved setting sail, soaking in the VI vibe. Captain Bryan and Chef Ariq, what an adventure and extraordinary week! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect escape! Fantastic and nicely appointed catamaran, the weather was absolutely glorious, and your warm hospitality, incredible cuisine, and seamless service made every day feel effortless. You thought of everything; all we had to do was soak it all in! We feel we have new friends in the VI. We'll be talking about this trip for years to come! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

JD's favorite memories are sailing with no other sound than the wind (wing on wing!); snorkeling with Captain Bryan; using the seabobs at The Baths. Alice's high point was being up top each morning with the seas and landscapes.
Put your phone down and enjoy Island life without it. It's so hard to do but very rewarding. I wish I would have done it more. Bryan and Ariq made an amazing experience! Thank you for your hospitality. The best food we have had on these islands was done by Ariq. Thank you! Just a little wisdom sprinkled by Bryan, "Practice being grateful each day."

Mel loved playing cards while sipping [her] painkiller and looking beyond at the island views. Jeff enjoyed making time stand still and eliminating the "noise of life." A piece of serenity on earth!
Bryan made our trip smooth and seamless. "How can I help?" is his mantra! Ariq is a talented chef and we ate our best food on the boat. God bless and here's to what lies ahead!

We loved our visit to Bitter End and Saba Rock. Perfect amount of time spent at each location. Captain Bryan even got off the boat to lead a quick hike at Bitter End. 10/10 day!
Thank you Captain Bryan! Your attention to detail made our trip. It was clear that your preparation in advance of our arrival made the trip. Thanks for the good conversations, island details, and genuineness.

Snorkeling at Norman Island was a great start to our time on Kasiopeja. Watching my husband and friends jumping off Willie T's. Dinner on Saba Rock. Listening to music up top while crossing to Anegada and back to Jost Van Dyke. Mooring and staying the night at Little Jost Van Dyke.
Our first time to the BVI escaping a long cold New England winter we knew would be perfect not knowing how magical it would be on Kasiopeja with our friends and the crew. Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie made this beautiful catamaran our "home away from home" for one week. We leave with many memories for which we will smile when remembering and leave with two new friends, Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie, whom we hope to see off our shores if not theirs once again. Thank you for an amazing time on Cassiopeia and in the BVI.

My favorite memory was swimming to The Baths and the Soggy Dollar Bar. Thank you, Captain Bryan, for encouraging me to head over. It would not have happened without your superb help propelling me over!
Truly amazing trip, we enjoyed every minute. Sylvie, your inner joy and culinary skills made every day so special. Captain Bryan, your kindness, professionalism, and sincere desire to make our trip memorable made this trip amazing. My first time to the Virgin Islands... We'll be back!

Jumping off Willie T's with my two buddies was AWESOME! Loved Cooper and Norman Islands, and a great hike above the Bitter End Yacht Club was a highlight as well. EVERY meal was great and our Captain's itinerary was PERFECT!
Fantastic trip. We loved everything about it. Both Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie were the BEST hosts and each of them very authentic, kind, enthusiastic, professional, and extremely capable I recommend them and the boat to anyone. Thanks so much for a great week!
Highlight for me was our sail to Anegada with perfect following winds! Thank you to Captain Bryan for letting me be the "deck hand!" Also, the amazing meals prepared by the lovely Sylvie and our fun conversations about food and cooking. Can't wait to return :)"

Every day was a new adventure! So appropriate that on one of our first days a beautiful rainbow was over the stern, and again on our last day. The snorkeling at the [Virgin Islands National] Park was fabulous!
This trip has been on my bucket list for 20 years! My first sailing trip and . . . captain [Bryan] and chef [Sylvie] spoiled me for future trips. Great attention to every detail and their guests' wishes!

[Our favorite memory was] anytime we were in the ocean and experiencing the fish and water. Bryan found the most amazing spots every day even while we had high winds! We experienced every part of the islands with joy, rainbows, [the] amazing crew, and friends.
I almost hesitate to do this trip again as Bryan and Sylvie were attentive, best chef ever, and I can't imagine a better trip. They [had to pry] us off the boat! We feel so lucky to have had this experience!

Loved snorkeling - able to see so many cool fish. Enjoyed many islands and sights. Went to The Baths and caves. Bubbly pool. Meals were beyond amazing. Captain Bryan provided a lot of facts and info. Just being on the boat was perfect!!
What an amazing trip. We have never done a catamaran and didn't know what to expect. All we can say is WOW!! This was the most relaxing and enjoyable adventure. Captain Bryan and Chef Sylvie were wonderful.
~Jim & Karen

It is so hard to think of just one thing, but snorkeling is definitely at the top of the list--especially using the "Seabob" which is a wonderful way to explore a wide area in a limited time span. Also, just being in the water, on deck, or at any one of the fun beach bars Captain Bryan takes you to will be a memorable, great experience!
Thank you, Captain Bryan and Chef Extraordinaire Sylvie, for showing us such a great time! We were treated like kings and queens and the food was supreme! Now, five pounds heavier, we will have happy memories of our relaxing and completely satisfying vacation in the beautiful British Virgin Islands! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

The adventures were amazing. The memories were priceless. Our most favorite days included an impromptu day to Foxy's taboo and the Bubbly Pool. However, Jost Van Dyke day takes the prize. We will be talking about that day forever.
From start to finish our trip was nothing short of exceptional and it truly began with our Incredible Crew Bryan and Lelani. Bryan kept us on a perfectly timed schedule, making sure we experienced every highlight we hoped for. Every day was thoughtfully planned and jam-packed with unforgettable adventures. Lelani took meals to the next level. Each meal was prepared with heart, creativity, and her full personality. We celebrated three 60th birthdays and we are leaving wanting more, which is a sign of a fabulous vacation. Everything was simply perfect. Thank you!!

Words cannot explain the magic we felt from the moment we stepped onto the boat. We are all leaving with memories and new friends, Captain Bryan and Chef Lelani.

We are eternally blessed to have sailed on Kasiopeja with our best friends, and new friends. Until next time...

We loved all the snorkeling . . . but especially The Baths, the short but adventurous hike at Bitter End, jumping off Willy T's, every white sand beach, and every last meal. . . . Another vote for "trip of a lifetime." Capt. Bryan knew all the secrets for getting us in on the best experiences, it meant early mornings for him, but we had the best parking spots to beat the crowds. Chef Lelani is an incredible chef serving THE best and prettiest meals ever. We don't want to leave.
Eric & Elizabeth
January 2026
So many, many memories: seabobbing is a must, you'll have a permanent smile on your face; The Baths early to get that Victoria's Secret shot. Willy T's, boobs out; hitting all the bars with all the stickers; and Lelani's bright, beautiful personality in cooking.
Having Captain Bryan (who is awesome) get up and moving early gets you the best spots and mooring balls, so get your butts out of bed because, the "Early birds get the ball!"

We loved the whole trip! Capt. Bryan and Lelani planned and delivered an incredible adventure. The best beaches, the best snorkeling, and the absolute best meals. I can't really pick any one great thing they were all the best. Just go with it! Let Lelani develop creative, memorable meals that are connected to your journey. She is such a fantastic storyteller with her dishes, just enjoy it. And when captain says, "You should snorkel here," DO IT!

Everything was absolutely the best vacation ever! We have dreamed of this and loved every minute. The Baths early, seabobbing, snorkeling in every spot, and watching 49ers and college football on the big projector screen! Early mornings, getting the best spots. Capt. Bryan was amazing. Lelani is a perfect chef. Everything was delicious! Go snorkeling, enjoy every moment. Thank you so much for everything we will be back and hope to share all this with our kids.

We had a WONDERFUL time! The boat layout of Kasiopeja was perfect. Captain Owen & Chef Joseph were both outstanding. Owen's sailing skills and command of the boat were obvious. He gave a great perspective on the BVI with his experience over the years. Joseph's meals and drinks were awesome, 5 stars. A lot of care and detail went into the creation of each plate. Both were very attentive and responsive whenever any question or concern came up. Personally, they were engaging, entertaining, and fun. I know Owen is moving on to a bigger boat and he is hoping Joseph joins him. Any charter with that pair is a guaranteed good time.
Best,

Our week with Capitan Owen and chef Joe was nothing short of perfect. From the second we stepped on the boat it was evident how much time and preparation it took to get ready for our trip. Owens steller reputation has connections at every stopwe always had someone to pick us up or a rental car available. Owen made the wants and wishes of our son's needs happen everyday with fishing, wakeboarding many snorkeling trips. Joseph deserves his own 5 stars traveling with picky eaters is difficult but he nailed every meal. We looked forward to all his food and company. Thank you both for the most incredible trip.

Captain Owen and Chef Joseph, Every bit of this charter was above and beyond our expectations.I was worried that this trip wouldn't live up to what I envisioned in my mind but it was that and so much more!

Owen and Joseph absolutely made the trip, period. When we do this trip again, we will do everything we can to sail with those two gentlemen! Owen was responsible, clearly cared for our safety, and his knowledge of the islands (and history) was incredible. Joseph, aka "JoeChef," made the BEST dishes—every meal was amazing. In our opinions, Owen and Joseph are overqualified for that size of boat, hands down. The crew made the trip; the islands, activities, etc., were all great, but the crew was what stood out. We feel like we made friends in the process of taking a vacation. The pace was perfect—Owen let us decide while giving his opinions and recommendations based on weather and safety. Kasiopeja was a great boat, but we wouldn’t charter it again unless it had this crew. There was nothing we didn’t like about this trip!

The Baths at Virgin Gorda, Jumping off the top deck of Willy T (fully clothed)! I also would highly recommend asking Captain Owen and Chef Kathryn for some of their stories, particularly Owen's tour footage :)
I can't picture a better way to spend the holidays than on this charter-particularly with Owen and Kathryn. The entire experience was so bespoke and thoughtful and created the perfect environment for me to spend time with my best friend.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht
Owen has been our “go to” captain for the last six years. He has taken us and our guests on numerous adventures all over the British and US Virgin Islands. We have seen and enjoyed the main sights of the Islands but Owen takes us to the places that not all will bother to go. Some of our best times have been those beautiful spots that are off the beaten path. He knows the history of the Islands and we always learn something new. He is truly a wonderful guy and a great friend. We highly recommend spending your time with Owen. Rhett and Sue
Guest Review from Previous Yacht
In the Virgin Islands, when my previous captain was retiring, he pointed to a boat one day on the beach and said “when I leave next year, use that guy.” That Captain was Owen. We hired him from them on, which was seven years ago. My family and I have been on multiple trips with him each year. He’s taken us, friends, employees, referrals, my child alone, all out on a boat under his care, and has even been with us for overnight trips. He’s always attentive, friendly, on time, knows what to do when, where to go, and drives with the utmost care and safety. He’s admired by other captains in his industry too, as their comments towards him are always very loving. We always look forward to our boat days with Owen, as they are our favorite days of the year.
