MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Francois Meyer
Chef: Nela Cvijanovic

Life for Francois started out on the sunny east coast of South Africa. Living in Richards Bay with the ocean on his doorstep and a fishing rod in his hand, it quickly became a way of life.  Soon thereafter his family decided to trade the beach for the “bush” and they moved to a small town in the south-west of Kenya called Magadi where he spent the rest of his childhood growing up in the wilderness.
After school he decided to try his luck as a professional rugby player. Unfortunately an injury ended his short career and it was time to move on. Thankfully the ocean had never stopped calling and soon he was back with a passion that only grew.
He gained his experience as a deckhand on Superyachts in the Mediterranean initially, and then as both a chef and a captain on charter catamarans in the Caribbean and he has completed a couple of Atlantic crossings too.
Francois is extremely excited to get back to the Caribbean to meet new people, hearing their stories and creating lifelong memories for guests.

Driven by a passion for culture, adventure, and community, Nela dove headfirst into th culinary world. She moved from Serbia to Switzerland after earning her degree, seeking to immerse herself in a different culture. While living there, Nela worked in restaurants and as an au pair, developing the flexibility and service mindset needed to take on something completely new — a role as a host/chef at Quarterdeck. In this role, she honed the culinary skills that would later serve her well in her yacht chef career, cooking on sailing yachts around Europe. Over the last four years, she has developed an exceptionally high standard of food preparation and presentation, along
with a growing talent for customer service. A major highlight of her journey was attending the Božidarac Cookery School and the Anchor & Apron cooking course, where she refreshed her culinary skills and picked up new techniques with a focus on detail and presentation — skills she continues to build upon. Nela has mastered the art of going above and beyond, both in her menu preparation and in being a first mate, guide, host, and even a friend to her guests

Francois and Nela are looking forward to making sure you have a truly unforgettable vacation with them on Neptune’s Escape.

Yacht was perfect for our family. Clean, spacious and well maintained.

How would you describe your crew? Were they courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Accompanied you on your activities/land excursions? Wore uniforms and acted professionally?:
Crew was impeccable in everything they did. I had a strong sense of confidence knowing my families life’s were in Francios’s hands. Nela catered to every need and interacted relentlessly with my wife and teenage daughter. We literally couldn’t have asked for a better pair for our family.

Was the food great and well presented? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your crew pay attention to your preference sheets?:
Food was incredible. Presentations of food and the table decorations were amazing. She followed preference sheet perfectly and even had backup plans for the kids on the event they didn’t like the meal.

Honestly the pace and itinerary was absolutely perfect.

What an amazing trip.
Francois and Nela were an amazing team!
Beautiful scenery, snorkeling and beaching.. food was amazing ( Nela is an awesome chef!)

Don’t think about it.. just do it!!

Don't Think About It - Just Do It
NEPTUNE'S ESCAPE

Our group was 8 friends (4 couples) in our 20s from Texas and Louisiana. We’re frequent travelers, but this was our first time ever sailing and being on a yacht, so we didn’t really know what to expect. We spent 1 week aboard Neptune’s Escape starting in Tortola and island hopping around the BVI, and the experience completely exceeded our expectations.

From the start, the entire trip felt fully tailored to our group’s desires. The proposed itinerary was amazing and could even be adjusted in real time, which we loved! With 8 people, everyone had different interests, and the crew truly tried their best to accommodate all of our preferences – and honestly, they did a great job. If I had one piece of advice for future guests, it would be to do a bit of research ahead of time to decide how much you want to be sailing and swimming versus being on land (restaurants, excursions, etc.). We mostly went with the flow, which worked out great, but knowing your ideal balance beforehand helps you get the most out of the experience.

What truly made this trip unforgettable was the crew!!! We were blown away by the attention to detail and genuine kindness of our chef, Nela, and our captain, Francois.

Nela catered to all of our, preferences, and dietary restrictions, and every single meal was homemade, high-quality, and absolutely delicious. She kept us well fed with a variety of international cuisine (I even tried a poke bowl for the first time!).

Francois was cheerful, patient, flexible, and attentive in every possible way. We learned so much from him about yachts, sailing, and the BVI, which made the experience even more meaningful.

Our experience with &Beyond Yacht Charters overall was fantastic, especially as first-timers who didn’t fully know what we were doing. The price for 8 felt reasonable, and Neptune’s Escape itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I honestly think this yacht would be great not just for groups like ours, but also for older travelers and families.

We would 100% book Neptune’s Escape again with the same crew in a heartbeat. This trip set the bar very high for future travel experiences and is something we’ll be talking about for years to come <3

NEPTUNE'S ESCAPE

My recent experience on Neptune’s Escape with Francois and Nella was “& Beyond” all my expectations.
Francois has incredible sailing skills and knows the waters well. He has a wonderful kind demeanor that immediately puts you at ease.
Nela is a terrific chef that always goes the extra mile with seasonings and presentation. Every meal was a delight. She is a ray of sunshine!
They were both very professional, but at the same time, felt like part of the family.
I’d love to charter with them again.
