the crew

CAPTAIN JAKE LE GASSICK

Jake is a British skipper who grew up in a Naval family, who gave him his love for the water, always living by the coast in the south of England. Jake first started sailing dinghies on his local river when he was 10 and fell in love with it. He carried on sailing throughout his teenage years, and once Jake left school he worked at a boatyard in the south of the UK (Devon) learning more about the maintenance of sailing yachts and the less glamorous side of boating in general! After 4 years maritime work Jake wanted to pursue being a skipper full time and so gained the relevant qualifications and did a season in the Mediterranean as well as a lot of freelance work in the English Channel. Jake is very excited to bring his love for sailing and the water over to the Caribbean!

CHEF JORJA BRADY

Growing up in a small fishing town on Scotland’s East Coast, Jorja has always felt at home by the sea. Her love of hospitality began early, working in local seafood restaurants known for their warm Scottish charm, where she learned the importance of making guests feel welcome.

While studying Sustainable Development at the University of Edinburgh, Jorja honed her hostess, mixologist, and barista skills at high-end events and venues across Scotland. Outside of work and studies, you’d find her hosting dinner parties, recipe-testing with flatmates, and exploring the city’s diverse food scene.

Craving adventure beyond the traditional graduate path, Jorja followed her passion for people and food to luxury safari lodges in Malawi. She wore many hats, overseeing guest experiences, coordinating logistics, and often stepping into the kitchen. She learnt to cook creatively with local ingredients and tailor menus to each guest. This experience shaped her approach to delivering thoughtful, personalised hospitality.

In 2023, Jorja attended culinary school in London to refine her skills before joining the yachting world. Over the past four seasons, she has thrived as a chef and first mate on luxury sailing yachts across the Adriatic and Caribbean seas. Jorja blends her love of the ocean with her passion for cooking and hosting, and she’s excited to welcome you aboard.

LA VIE EST BELLE

10/10

Wow! Wow! Wow! La Vie est Belle, Pepijn and Nicole!

We were a group of 8 sailors who have bare boated in the BVI many times. We have never had the experience a fully crewed charter before. One of our group described this perfectly. When you bare boat it is an adventure, but when you have the perfect Captain and Chef it is a vacation!

Pepijn,

You are the most amazing Captain! Your professionalism, your sailing experience and handling of our yacht were bar none! I felt so safe and comfortable. Your ability to fix most anything that may break, like the generator belt on our last night (thank goodness!), your kind and confident presence, and your cocktail making skills are pretty great as well!

Nicole,

You are an amazing Chef! Every meal, 3x a day, was absolutely mouth watering and delicious! From your fresh baked breads, sweets and deserts, to your amazing gourmet lunches and dinners! Your freshly made pasta! On a boat! Wow! Your ginger shots! Home made Pizza night under the stars on the bow, with the beautifully set table was incredible! All of your food and your table settings, everything was amazing!

Pepijn and Nicole are a highly skilled and competent team that work extremely well together. I feel that their partnership is what made our experience so incredible! They were always there when you needed them but never hovering or intrusive. They are a very synergistic team!

Thank you Pepijn and Nicole for giving us a vacation of a life time!
The Lewis Group

ps. La Vie est Belle is a very comfortable and well appointed yacht that is perfectly maintained. She was perfect for our party of 8.

I spent my 60th birthday with my family on this beautiful boat! There are not enough adjectives to describe our vacation on La Vie est Belle! Pepjin and Nicole were amazing! The food and the service was to perfection. And Pepjin was a qualified captain that discussed our itinerary and made our wants a reality. Bottom line, I would highly recommend this boat and this crew! We had the time of our lives! Thanks again!!

We had an amazing time on “La Vie Est Belle”. From our arrival at Scrub Island, to island hopping to Jos Van Dijk, Norman Island, Guana Island, Peter Island, North sound and Anagada it was awesome! Captain Pepijn did a great job managing our itinerary and all things related to the boat experience. He made sure we knew all the ways to remain safe, and was very confident in his captain abilities. We enjoyed learning more about where he was from and all his sailing experience. Chef Daryl prepared the best meals we have ever had on a charter. From homemade bread and bagels to beautiful fruit and appetizer platters and the most awesome sushi night, we were amazed at every meal. She gave us great tips for things to do on the islands. The layout of the boat was really convenient for four couples, and we loved all the outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this boat and crew for the trip of a lifetime! Thank you!

Best vacation EVER. Great itinerary, great food, great crew, great boat. Don’t hesitate, get on this boat in the BVIs!

LA VIE EST BELLE

We had an amazing week on La Vie est Belle and the crew was amazing. We always felt safe and at ease with Captain P and he was able to find some calm waters to sleep despite a very windy week. Our chef Darrell created the most amazing meals on the boat. From fish tacos to sushi night we were spoiled. She even made a homemade cake for my husbands birthday and my favorite pie.. Key lime! Would definitely recommend this vacation to anyone who loves to sail.

LA VIE EST BELLE

Words can’t fully capture the magic of our week aboard Lavie Est Belle. As anyone who’s ever embarked on a yacht charter knows, choosing the right vessel and crew to meet everyone’s needs can be a daunting task. But with Michelle at Epic Yacht Charters, the decision was a breeze. She walked us through the options, highlighting the unique qualities of each vessel and crew. Thanks to her expert guidance, we selected Lavie Est Belle—and the amazing crew of Captain Pepijn and Chef Nicole.

The Vessel:
From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear that Lavie Est Belle was no ordinary yacht. Immaculately maintained and brimming with luxury, it had everything we could have possibly wanted. The modern Sonos sound system, retractable flat-screen TV, ice maker, espresso machine, and an impressive array of water toys made our experience unforgettable. Every inch of the yacht exuded care and attention to detail, thanks to its incredible crew.

The Crew:
Pepijn and Nicole are, without a doubt, the finest team in the islands. Pepijn’s constant vigilance ensured our safety without ever interrupting the fun. Whether he was inflating the giant Lilypad, ferrying us to pristine beaches, or guiding us to secluded coves for a swim, he was always ready with a smile and a solution. His warm, welcoming demeanor made us feel at ease from the moment we boarded.
And then there’s Nicole. Words truly can’t do her justice. Her culinary skills are on par with the best fine dining experiences we’ve had around the world. Every meal was a masterpiece, from the exquisitely carved fruit platters and freshly baked breads, to the perfectly seared steak and scallops. Her desserts were nothing short of jaw-dropping, and the homemade pizza, baked in an authentic pizza oven, was a true highlight.
We were onboard to celebrate my sister’s 60th birthday, and Nicole went above and beyond, decorating the yacht with beautiful streamers to make the day extra special. It’s these thoughtful gestures, along with their impeccable service, that sets Nicole apart.

The Location:
The British Virgin Islands are simply unparalleled in their beauty. Having traveled the world, we can confidently say the BVI’s crystal-clear waters, stunning landscapes, and abundance of beach bars and restaurants make it a top-tier destination. Add Pepijn’s intimate knowledge of the local waters and islands, and we experienced a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Every day felt like a new discovery.

LA VIE EST BELLE

I could not have imagined a better experience. Pepijn is an extremely accomplished, experienced, knowledgeable and polite professional. His attention to detail is superb. Nicole is an amazing chef. I have been privileged to have eaten many places around the world at Michelin rated restaurants and without question, Nicole’s meals are among the best I have ever had, all the way to the fantastic presentation from dinners to snacks…The fact that she does all of her cooking in a small galley makes it even more amazing…I have already recommended the two, as a team, to several of my friends… I could not imagine have a better experience. There is no question the next time we charter it will be with Pepijn and Nicole…
