March 2026 BVI Charter

Mike and Tess made our BVI catamaran trip the experience of a lifetime. Captain Mike’s deep local knowledge took us to the perfect anchorages at the perfect times – from the quiet coves to the party spots. He’s skilled , calm, and made us feel safe and confident every step of the way.

Tess is pure magic. Every meal was restaurant quality and beautifully presented, the boat was spotless, and her warmth set the tone for the entire trip. She anticipated every need before we even thought to ask.
Wanderlust’s gorgeous, spacious, comfy and neat. But its truly Mike and Tess who make this charter special! We arrived as guests and left as friends!

NYE 2025 BVI Charter

This trip was an amazing time with our family on an amazing boat with the most wonderful crew! Dean & Charne made the trip – the amazing meals, their grace, care for us and the boat and hospitality were just wonderful! We cannot thank them and feel spoiled by the entire experience.
We will never be able to replicate this terrific week but made the best memories here. The BVI are beautiful, the Wanderlust is a one of a kind boat & seeing it all with Dean & Charne catering and caring for us was truly an experience of a lifetime! A huge thanks to them both!

NYE 2025 BVI Charter

The most fantastic week in the BVIs – exceeded our expectations in every way. Dean & Charne went above and beyond from the moment we stepped aboard. They were so flexible with some bad weather and despite the busy Christmas season, made us feel like we were the only people at every stop. Charne’s cooking was top notch, every meal was 5 stars (please drop a recipe book). AND she taught us our new favorite card game. Dean’s knowledge of (l)ive(s) the islands and fish was also incredible and taught us so much. The boat became our home away from home – we can’t wait to come back and sail on the Wanderlust again soon. Thank you x a million for the most wonderful Christmas vacation.

The biggest thank you to Captain Dean, Charne, and Wanderlust. From the moment we stepped aboard this wonderful catamaran. we were met by the most genuine souls. They are the perfect compliment to each other… providing exceptional service and experience to our family. This trip truly exceeded our greatest expectations and can’t imagine there is a better crew than Dean and Charne. We wish them a lifetime of success, happiness, and adventure and hope our paths cross again for another incredible voyage.

Much love and appreciation

November 2025 BVI Charter

This was one of the most relaxing weeks of vacation we’ve ever experienced.
Dean and Charne were wonderful right from the start as they listened to the preferences and wants of 6 people and then made it work, planning out the days, giving morning briefings every day at breakfast, providing detailed advice and expert insights for everything we did, and kept us safe, happy, and went out of their way to make sure we did not have to worry about anything. Dean was an expert on the BVIs and took care of all our activities – scuba, snorkeling, perfect anchorage, paddle boarding, and terrific cocktails.
Charne was our super chef – the food was so good at every well-planned and perfectly presented. And both Dean and Charne kept the boat beautifully organized, well-stocked, and made it feel like home. The boat is terrific and the BVIs beautiful, but the crew made it wonderful! The trip of a lifetime!
Love,
Jim, Kelly, Lisa, Michael, Eleanor + Bob

July 2025 BVI Charter

People often use the word “unforgettable” to describe underwhelming things. This trip truly deserves the title of “unforgettable”. To get into specifics would be futile; the most important thing is that Charne and Dean are the exact two humans required for a trip like this. Caring, intelligent, and wholesome. I will carry this trip with me for the rest of my life. Rest assured this catamaran charter won’t be my last, but it will always be the best.
With love,
José Antonio Galguera

For us to make this trip was a little challenging, but I’m glad we came, this trip is one of the two best vacations we had in life; we enjoy this trip like no other, I would definitely do it AGAIN!!!!
But let’s talk about Charne & Dean – this couple are the main complement to this trip to become beautifully unforgettable! For us, Charne is an amazing cook and sweet & nice to everyone, and Dean is the most reliable, responsible captain you can have, I hope we can all get together for another fantastic adventure.
Love Ivon & José

July 2025 BVI Charter

This boat. Charne’s cuisine. Dean’s knowledge and expertise. That is what created such a magical experience for us here in the BVI. From lazy floating mornings in secret bays to snorkeling The Indians and The Caves, to beach bar shenanigans. We came as friends but leave as family and have those beautiful islands and the wildly impressive Wanderlust crew to thank for it all.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

June 2025 BVI Charter

Our family has been dreaming of a trip to the BVI for years and we had high expectations! But thanks to Dean and Charne and our beautiful boat, it exceeded every expectation. The beauty of the area was breathtaking- and Dean was the best tour guide. He knew just where to go and every stop was so different. The kids loved snorkeling, sea scooters and fishing (despite their bad luck).
The beauty of the BVI was only matched by the incredible meals from Charne – we couldn’t pick a favorite, each was one of the best we have ever had! Big thanks to our bartender too! I could go on and on but just want to say thank you for providing our family with the trip of a lifetime!

June 2025 BVI Charter

It’s going to be hard to go home without our crew! What a magical trip it has been! We enjoyed the best food and destinations with the best snorkeling we’ve ever done and gorgeous beaches. You both managed the kids energy -whether positive or negative energy so well. You both have such amazing spirits of kindness and patience and it really showed with the kids – thank you so much! the itinerary was the most perfect plan with plenty of chill time and breaks but also that feeling of such full days. This is by far our favorite family vacation we’ve ever taken and it’s because of what you two created for us! We loved getting to know you both – we pray life blesses you both as you deserve the world.
So much love
