Yacht Information
From the Logbook
Our take: Crystal Dreams
Crystal Dreams is a sharp, modern Bali 5.4 that leans into open-concept living—think massive flybridge, sliding windows, and that signature garage-door-style aft that erases the line between salon and cockpit. With five queen cabins and a full suite of water toys, she’s a smart pick for larger groups wanting space to spread out without giving up on comfort or style. The forward seating area is a great bonus, especially when you're anchored in a calm bay with sundowners in hand.
Captain Dylan brings serious miles under his belt and a rare blend of technical depth and teaching experience—he’s not just a seasoned skipper, he’s built boats, raced offshore, and taught at yacht clubs. Chef Rebecca balances that with warmth and precision, delivering meals that feel personal but polished. Together, they run a tight ship that doesn’t feel rigid—expect professionalism without stiffness and a relaxed energy that fits the Caribbean perfectly.

Keagan and Josh
Everything on our charter was fabulous! We will definitely be chartering again. Everyone fell in love with sailing & the BVI’s-It truly is a magical place. The highlight of our trip was when we anchored off Necker Island in the most stunningly beautiful bay. It was so serene & the color of the water was breathtaking. To be with our loved ones in such a peaceful place felt like heaven. Some snorkeled some floated on raft, lots of fun conversations... it was pure perfection!
I strongly encourage Keagan to do a cookbook. She has a lot of amazing recipes from homemade condiments to the fabulous dishes she prepared for us. Shelly, your charter cookbook is still one of my all time favorites & such a fun souvenir. I so appreciate all your help & expertise, you guys are beyond FaBuLoUS!!!!”
