Perfect Moon

Our charter experience was absolutely perfect. The boat exceeded all expectations, and the crew made the trip truly exceptional. Kelton, Jay, and Mackenzie went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone on board. I would highly recommend this trip and crew to anyone considering a charter.

The best yachting experience with the best crew ever! Kelton, Mack and Jay made the trip enjoyable. They spent time with us-which we loved-and made us feel at home. Every meal was amazing and the drinks were flowing. I highly recommend!

We just returned from a one-week charter aboard the *Perfect Moon* in the BVI, and it’s hard to put into words just how incredible this experience was—but I’ll try.

First, the yacht itself is absolutely stunning. Spacious, beautifully designed, and impeccably maintained, it felt like a floating luxury resort. Every detail was thought through, and there was always a perfect place to relax—whether lounging on deck with a drink, enjoying the views underway, or unwinding after a full day of adventure.

But what truly made this trip unforgettable—the *reason* this was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had—was the crew: **Captain CJ, Mackenzie, and Tilley**.

CJ is a phenomenal captain—calm, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable. From seamless sailing to carefully planned itineraries, we always felt completely taken care of. Mackenzie brought nonstop energy, humor, and expertise—he seemed to know every hidden gem in the BVI and made every stop more fun than the last. And Tilley… the food was simply out of this world. Every single meal was creative, fresh, and restaurant-quality (or better!). We were genuinely blown away multiple times a day.

The snorkeling was fantastic—crystal-clear water, vibrant marine life, and perfectly chosen spots that felt both adventurous and relaxing. Every day brought something new and memorable.

What stood out most, though, was how the crew elevated every moment. They didn’t just do their jobs—they created an experience. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuinely fun personalities made us feel like we were traveling with friends who just happen to be world-class at what they do. The entire week felt effortless because of them.

We’ve been on great trips before—but this was on another level. We’re already talking about coming back, and honestly, we would prioritize sailing again with **CJ, Mackenzie, and Tilley**. They made the trip what it was.

If you’re considering a charter in the BVI, stop looking—this is it.

**10/10. Would give more stars if we could.**

Research no further! This vacation experience exceeded expectations!
We recently returned from a week long sail on the Perfect Moon Yacht. The boat is beautiful. Our crew of CJ, Mackenzie & Tilley, we would HIGHLY recommend requesting. Let me share why and hopefully some of this write up will help inform your decision & itinerary!

We were a group of couples - old college friends - all of us well travelled enough to know when we have experienced something special in a vacation. The Perfect Moon itself is just beautiful. She is one of the few blue colored boats of this type out on the water - which makes her profile one that people on OTHER BOATS take pictures of. The accommodations are tight - but efficient and effective. The interior design of the boat and rooms are modern & sleek, with quality linens and shower items included. The area/space for sun or shade are well placed and the room for dining is perfect.
All of the fun water toys are also provided, and you can save space in your carry on bag because they supply all of the sunscreen, aloe, shampoo, conditioner & body wash.

Speaking of carry on bags...only bring something of that size. All of us (gals included) packed one "overnight satchel" sized bag, a backpack and a tiny bag to go into town with. You are going to "live in" your bathing suits most days. Bringing 3 bathing suits, 3 shorts, 3 t-shirts, bathing suit coverup, rash guard, flip flops, sneakers and 1 or 2 "resort casual" outfits will serve you well. For us gals - packing 2 or 3 sundress were perfect. A few items that were great to have - a windbreaker type jacket/pull over. You can smoosh them flat and they don't wrinkle. A rash guard (long-sleeved bathing suit type shirt) is so helpful. Shoes that are fast drying & protective (ie: decent flip flops). At least one sun hat or ball cap. Finally, a dry bag for your phones & credit card proved also to be a plus to have.

Regarding the vacation and sail itself...it really did exceed our expectations. As I said, our crew was wonderful. CJ is your Captain, and Mackenzie his First Mate and Tilley is your Chef. The 3 of them make for a fantastic and very likable team. You will feel catered to without feeling hovered over. CJ is professional - but is also very personable and you will feel safe and in competent hands. Mackenzie is equally professional and in constant interaction with your group. He is easy going, extremely knowledgeable, flexible and willing to work with you and your group so your vacation is everything it can be. Tilley as your Chef is nothing short of a wonder. There have been multiple times afterwards that we have texted one another saying how much we missed her, as we were now back in our own kitchens, attempting to whip up some of the magic we all experienced with her food! What she is able to pull together -seemingly effortlessly - for your breakfast, lunch and dinner AND not ever do a REPEAT is nothing short of amazing. PLUS - the quality of the dishes she creates are excellent, and the presentation of each and every meal is worthy of photos in Food & Wine or Bon Appetite. When Tilley does her "food preference intake" with you for your group - she takes it seriously and it is reflected beautifully with what she produces.
I think each of us could gush for quite some time about each of them and what they bring to make them such a great team and as a result - your experience so memorable.

Some suggestions on your itinerary. Since NONE of us had sailed around the BVI's before - we placed a lot of our faith in their hands for what our route should be. We gave them high level & general ideas of what type of activities we like to do and not do, and the overall "type" of vacation we were hoping for. They did an excellent job translating that into a great itinerary.
They recommended 2 dinners "off boat and in town" - and both suggestions were excellent. It gave us a change of scenery, pace and the ability to experience the local towns. Only one on shore experience that we had we all said we wished was a little different was our day trip to The Baths. When our crew suggested we get up and get to the hike & The Baths early - we are SO GLAD we listened. Why? Because once the passengers from the cruise ships began arriving - the place was an absolute zoo.
Otherwise, each on shore experience was great and memorable for all of us.

Finally, you will not go wrong nor be disappointed selecting the Perfect Moon and this specific crew. Again, coming from a group of people who are all pretty well travelled and can have high expectations - this experience exceeded them. We wish you a bon voyage!

We just had an amazing vacation with friends on the Perfect Moon! The yacht is beautiful, and the staff members were phenomenal! Captain CJ and mate Mackenzie were very engaging and their expertise was apparent throughout our trip. Chef Tilley couldn’t have been more friendly and provided us with one outstanding meal after another. We were pampered beyond belief, and had a truly wonderful time throughout. A vacation experience that filled us all with joy and many wonderful memories.

Just wrapped up an unforgettable week sailing the British Virgin Islands aboard the Perfect Moon Yacht with five couples, and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough.

From the moment we boarded in Red Hook to our final farewell at Christmas Cove, Captain CJ navigated us flawlessly through every anchorage — Norman Island, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, the Kodiak Queen wreck, Saba Rock, Marina Cay, Guana Island, Cane Garden Bay, and the legendary Soggy Dollar. His knowledge of the islands and easygoing professionalism made every day feel effortless.

First Mate Mackensey was the heartbeat of the boat — handling the RIB tender and lines with skill while also serving up the best cocktails in the Caribbean. He looked after every guest like family and joined us on several dives and fishing adventures.

And Chef Tilly — what can I say? Every single meal was restaurant-quality and beautifully plated, from her shakshuka and tuna poke bowls to panko wahoo, persimmon rose carpaccio, and a surf-and-turf finale that rivaled any fine dining experience anywhere. She's a true artist.

The Perfect Moon herself is a stunning yacht with incredible spaces, a great aft deck for gatherings, and all the toys you could want (eFoil, paddleboards, snorkel gear, fishing setup).

If you're considering a BVI charter — book the Perfect Moon and request CJ, Mackensey, and Tilly. You won't regret a single minute. Already planning for 2027!

Just completed a week on the Perfect Moon with a boat full of college friends. CJ, Tilley and Mackenzie were the best crew anyone could ask for. They were super accommodating and very professional. The coordination of getting us into the best spots to snorkel, keeping our tummies full of food and our cups full of your favorite beverage. Would highly recommend this crew and boat!!!

We had an amazing tour of the BVIs. The boat was superb. The crew was fantastic…extremely professional and got along great with our group. Captain CJ always presented the itinerary and had great information on the islands. He and Mackenzie were always available to help with water sports and gear. Tilley is a fantastic chef—the meals we had were all amazing and she catered to multiple preferences. I couldn’t recommend this crew any more. They delivered a super relaxing trip and are great people. I’ll root for their future success!

The perfect week with friends on the Perfect Moon. CJ, MacKenzie and Tilley were the best crew ever. The food was amazing and the hospitality and professionalism were beyond measure. I was unsure how I would feel spending a week on a boat at first and I only wish the trip could have been a week longer. Thank you for such a fun adventure. I wouldn’t change a thing.

We had a great trip March 23-28 on the perfect moon with captain CJ, first mate Mackenzie and Chef Tillie. Team was attentive from our champagne toast and lunch waiting for us on arrival to ensuring we were always hydrated(😉) and even arranging transportation on our last day. They chose wonderful locations for us to visit in the BVI and provided some historical info on the areas. The boat was the perfect size for our group of 6 with lots of different areas to relax together or alone. Boat was well maintained and cabins were a good size with queen beds in most of the cabins(4 with queens and 1 with twin beds). Tillie’s cooking was amazing, healthy with lots of seafood which we had requested. My husband and I have been to the VI several times but this was our first time chartering a boat and will not be our last. We are looking forward to planning our next trip on this boat with this fantastic crew.

We ended up on the Perfect Moon by chance at the last minute. The crew, Tilley, McKenzie and the Captain CJ made sure that everything was carefree for our five day cruise. They were in near constant motion to anticipate every need and to prepare for the next adventure.

Every day CJ found the perfect anchorage to facilitate snorkeling, swimming and going ashore to experience different aspects of island life. Each of the crew shared their own stories of the BVI which made some stops more memorable than others.

Each morning Tilley started our day with a freshly prepared breakfast. Each meal is carefully planned and she incorporated our preferences with expertise. McKenzie poured rum punch and Painkillers that outshine the signature bars, he deserves his own t-shirt.

The boat ran perfect and it was always clean which is no small feat.

It is no exaggeration to say this was a trip of a lifetime.

I can’t say enough about how amazing this trip was. We spent 5 days on the Perfect Moon with Tillie, CJ and McKenzie cruising the BVIs. The boat is absolutely beautiful and was so spacious for our three couples (although would have been great for more). CJ was such a knowledgeable and safe captain and took us to the most beautiful spots to snorkel and hangout. Tillie made the most delicious and healthy meals. The food was 5 star and just keep coming. Then there’s McKenzie, he was everywhere doing everything to make sure everyone on board had a drink in hand, snorkeling gear, run us into shore by dingy, find us some good shopping locations, and make sure all our needs were met. This private charter on the Perfect moon was def a trip of a lifetime. At the end they also provided us an amazing drone video of our trip. Top notch service and made friends for a lifetime. Highly recommend, first class service on a first class boat.

We had an incredible time! The crew, Captain CJ, Chef Tilley, and Fist Mate MacKenzie were outstanding! The crew made us feel like family! The food was amazing! The Perfect Moon is the perfect ship for a great time! It was the best vacation experience of my life! The places we visited were simply beautiful! No other vacation experience will ever compare!

Our recent week aboard Perfect Moon was exceptional. Traveling with our family and another, we were immediately put at ease by the exceptional crew of C.J., Tilley, and Mackenzie. The crew anticipated our needs before we had to ask, striking the perfect balance between attentive service and a relaxed, fun atmosphere. They were warm, engaging, and professional, and they made everyone feel comfortable and safe throughout the trip.

Each day brought a diverse array of delicious dishes and snacks, all beautifully plated and consistently impressive. It is challenging to please a group of 9, and Chef Tilley did a terrific job.

Perfect Moon itself exceeded our expectations. The boat is modern, clean, and very well-maintained. Even the showers were surprisingly spacious and comfortable.

All in all, this was a truly memorable vacation. We wholeheartedly recommend Perfect Moon and this fantastic crew to anyone looking for a seamless, enjoyable, and top-tier charter experience.

Absolutely the most amazing vacation ever!! Captain CJ chef Tilley and Mackenzie were the most incredible hosts!! I would leave 10 stars if I could, our day trips with Mackenzie were the absolute best,every meal by Tilley was beyond five star.. and Captain CJ getting us to the most beautiful locations ever can’t wait to do it again with this incredible trio!!!! thanks guys xoxo

OMFG, best crew on the planet. Professional, fun, unbelievable service. CJ, Mac and Tilly are treasures. Can't wait to travel with you all again soon,

Our family of 5 chartered the Perfect Moon catamaran to tour the St Martins/Anguilla islands for a week. The crew of 3-Captain CJ, Chef Tilley and First Mate MacKenzie-were awesome hosts and guides. We would not hesitate to charter with them again to explore more of the Caribbean. Our 5 year old granddaughter especially enjoyed the homey atmosphere created by the crew.
The bedrooms and lounging areas of the Perfect Moon are EXTREMELY comfortable. There is always a spot to chill in the shade and enjoy the view. The catamaran is well equipped with everything you need to enjoy the water.

The Perfect Moon Yacht was another level of being extraordinary! It was luxurious and equipped with every amenity needed to be in the water. Plush seating in the main area, comfortable beds and plenty of seating on the Skybridge.

The exceptional crew, CJ (The Captain), Tilley (The Chef) and McKenzie (1st mate) were AMAZING. CJ navigated us through BVI blue hues while finding the perfect locations to drop anchor to take in the breathtaking scenery.

Tilley tailored our menu and created incredible meals three times a day, desserts with every dinner and midafternoon snacks from scratch. Each meal was creatively prepared with absolutely deliciousness flavor. She did not disappoint!

McKenzie was attentive to our needs, anticipating before we said a word. The yacht was immaculate.

Everything was PERFECT!

Best. Vacation. Ever. 5 couples sailed 7 days on Perfect Moon through BVI. Beautifully appointed boat that turned heads wherever we went but it was definitely the crew that made the experience memorable. Captain CJ is so knowledgeable and professional yet is a ton of fun. 1st Mate Mckenzie seemed to anticipate our needs before we could verbalize them. He is so entertaining and took care of us on both land and water. Chef Tilly served meals that you'd expect in high-end restaurants. Her food was better than any meals we had at shore restaurants. She is truly talented! I cannot say enough compliments about this entire trip. Everything was seamlessly arranged, very professional, yet extremely fun and exciting!

The Perfect Moon luxury yacht was Amazing, but the crew was even better!! Captain CJ, 1st mate Mackenzie, and Chef Tilley were professional, fun, and very attentive. Their attention to detail and customization of the itinerary, menu, and drinks to our group of ten people's needs was spot on.

They took us to great dive and snorkeling sites, island tours, fun bars. Tilley served us three perfectly plated, fresh, high end restaurant quality meals every day.

The yacht was very nicely appointed, cabins were spacious (for a boat) and comfortable, the dining table at the aft deck seated all 10 of us comfortably, the fly bridge was very large and comfortable place to hang out.

The Perfect Moon and its crew are a perfect "10"!!

The perfect moon catamaran was such an unbelievable trip! We had 5 couples on the boat for a week and were treated like royalty. CJ, Tilly and Mckenzie took care of all our needs! 3 gourmet meals a day was so spectacular. All of the crew were professional and so nice. They took us to the best beaches and dive sites. They felt like family by the end of the week. The cabins were spacious and always clean. Lots of water toys and always had a cold drink in hand. Highly recommend them!

This boat! Amazing real show stopper. The layout was spectacular. The fly bridge was our gathering place! The Islands and itinerary exceeded our expectations. But the crew is what made this a vacation of a lifetime. I felt safe, entertained and catered to. CJ was so kind and an expert Captain. Mackenzie brought charm, humor and his scuba expertise to our trip. Tilly gets a Michelin star (if it were up to me). The exceptional service did not wane for even a moment. It was quite simply PERFECTION!!!!! We wanted to bring them home with us! Thanks perfect Moon! But a simple “thank you” simply isn’t enough!!!!!

The entire team of the Perfect Moon, CJ, Tilly, and Mackenzie blew my mind.
We have done orher really nice trips, but never had this level of attention to detail!
The sailing, the food, the diving were spot on, and I honestly felt like family by the end of the trip!
This would be a team to do any vacation with, but this trip sailing would impress anyone!👍

My wife and I just got back from the Caribbean, where we toured both the USVI and BVI on Perfect Moon with Captain CJ and Chef Tilley and it was hands down the best experience we've ever had.
The Caribbean will always be beautiful, but what truly made this trip unforgettable was CJ and Tilley. From the moment we stepped on board, everything was perfect. Captain CJ ran an incredible trip safe, smooth, and customized exactly to what we wanted while Chef Tilley absolutely blew us away with every meal. The food alone was next-level.
What we never could have imagined was the friendship we made along the way. CJ and Tilley didn't just deliver an amazing trip-they far exceeded every expectation and completely blew it out of the water. They are true rock stars.
This was the greatest trip we've ever taken, and we highly recommend this experience to anyone even considering it. We will be talking about this one for the rest of our lives.

We chartered Perfect Moon with captain CJ and Chef Tilley. We spent roughly a week aboard exploring the US and British Virgin Islands. The boat was absolutely beautiful, but the crew really made our trip memorable. They worked so hard to make sure every experience and meal was special. We appreciate all of their hard work.
Everything was perfectly planned for us, they took care of all reservations and itineraries which made the trip very relaxing. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a charter, I don't think you could find a better crew!

Had an amazing vacation with CJ and Tilley aboard the Perfect Moon. Everything was perfect and they were so attentive to any of our needs. Food was excellent, service was excellent, boat was fantastic shape and caught everyone's attention anywhere we went. We will book with them anywhere they go!

Don’t look anywhere else, book your trip today with CJ and Tilley on the Perfect Moon Yacht.

Absolutely a trip of a lifetime. CJ and Tilley are fantastic people who went above and beyond to make our trip one we will never forget!

Best vacation we have ever been on and cannot wait to rebook with CJ and Tilley!

It was my first time sailing the BVIs and our trip was amazing! Perfect Moon is a beautiful boat but the crew made our trip exceptional. Tilley is a wonderful chef and every meal was enjoyed by our large group. Almost impossible to pick favorite meals because there were way too many. The breads, tacos, poke bowl, burger, etc! CJ was a great captain. He was kind, knowledgeable and always had a smile on his face. Mackenzie took us diving and was by far the best scuba diver we have ever gone with. He took us to the best dive spots and kept us entertained. He also make a delicious painkiller and spicy margarita!! CJ makes yummy drinks too…hello skinny spicy margarita! I cannot say enough great things about this trip. I wouldn’t change a thing and would do it again!

Amazing! 2nd time chartering a catamaran with this company. Great experience both times. This trip, Reil, Paige, and Kendall were great. They all went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Kendall, with her on yacht massage's, brought this trip to a whole other level.
I highly recommend this crew.

This trip was absolutely incredible. Every boat trip is completely dependent on the crew and ours was phenomenal. Tilley made unbelievably good food for a big group of people. CJ was our guardian angel keep us safe and not letting anyone ruin our fun. Mackenzie was fun to hang with and a great guide on lane or under water.

Absolutely unforgettable experience with Perfect Moon Yacht Crew!

Had an absolutely one-of-a-kind experience. Captain CJ, Mate McKensie, and Chef Tilly were perfect, always professional, attentive, and passionate about the work they do.

CJ the captain alwyas made us feel completely safe and relaxed while navigating and meeting every need. Mate McKensie was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and ensuring every detail was handled flawlessly. And Chef Tilly.. was superb!!! Every meal was beautifully prepared, delicious, and felt like a personalized culinary experience on the water. Tilly even went out of her way to accommodate my non eating seafood requests. I know.. a week at sea and no seafood!! lol but Tilly always had something spectacular for me to enjoy along with everyone else.

The entire crew always made us feel special and their attention to detail and warm hospitality elevated the trip beyond anything we expected. Would highly recommend this experience!! Simply phenomenal and so hard to come back to reality.😉

We had an amazing experience aboard the Perfect Moon catamaran. The crew, Capt. CJ, MacKenzie, and Tilley were the best. They made our trip absolutely memorable. They were professional, attentive, and knowledgeable about every aspect of BVI. They always had multiple options for fun at every island stop. The food onboard was so yummy thanks to Chef Tilley. I highly recommend the Perfect Moon, but most of all the crew.

I would give 10 stars if I could. CJ, Tilley and McKenzie were absolutely fantastic in every way. They took such great care of us. Perfect Moon is a beautiful and luxurious catamaran, with plenty of living space for 10 guests and 3 crew. What an incredible experience, one that we will never forget.

We had a mazing week at BVI, with a fantastic crew aboard the Perfect Moon. Highly recommend it for the best way to explore the islands. CJ, Mackenzie, and Tilley- were the most professional, experienced and friendliest of crew. They made our experience unforgettable, every meal was an experience of its own.

One week on Perfect Moon has created lifelong memories for me and our group of friends. The perfect combination of an epic catamaran and the professional service delivered by CJ, Tilley and Mackenzie aka Maverick all came together and reinforced my belief that time is our most precious commodity as spending time here not only rejuvenated our souls but gave us lifelong memories. Our amazing crew kept the catamaran impeccably clean, met all of our requests, and delivered outstanding meals and friendly hospitality. While this catamaran is epic and outstanding, the heart and soul of it is this crew. If this review inspires anyone to book a trip here, you can thank me later.

Best vacay ever! Lots of fun, lots of memories, lots of new friends! Prefect Moon and crew members CJ, Mackenzie, and Tilley were absolutely amazing! Could not have asked for a better week! Highly recommend!

We had the most amazing time on the Perfect Moon! CJ, Tilley, and McKenzie weren’t just our crew—they’re officially our new besties. Every place we visited was stunning, and the food? Out-of-this-world good!

We had the most incredible week aboard Perfect Moon. Truly a vacation for the books — one of the best we’ve ever taken. Every single day felt like magic thanks to the most amazing crew.
Tiley is an #extraordinarychef. Each meal somehow topped the one before — fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious. We were blown away every single day.
Mackenzie made the entire experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the islands is unmatched, and he always knew the perfect hidden spot to take us. He kept us laughing nonstop, mixed the best drinks, led karaoke like a pro, and even came up with the most fun beach games on the fly. Being around him was a highlight of the trip.
Captain CJ is incredibly skilled, calm, and knowledgeable. Our sail to #Anegada was smooth and effortless. We always felt safe and completely taken care of under his leadership. He’s a #phenomenalcaptain.
This crew delivered the ultimate #dreamweek — fun, relaxing, delicious, safe, and beyond memorable. We cannot recommend #PerfectMoon and this crew highly enough. We will be talking about this trip forever! 🌙⛵✨

What a week on Perfect Moon! This is the best crew of all time!! So much fun. And everything was top notch from start to finish. Really couldn’t have had a better time…and would recommend this charter over and over again with enthusiasm!

We had the best experience this past week aboard the Perfect Moon! The food, the crew, the boat were perfect for our wild time! Thanks for the memories, CJ, Tilley, and Mackenzie (Mackenzie). Yall are the best!

The Perfect Moon is a beautiful yacht! It is spacious with upscale decor. We were celebrating a dear friend’s birthday. The crew were fantastic. They made it extra special. They are extremely talented. They were creative, attentive and funny! And not let me forget the delicious food! I would highly recommend!
