New Years Charter Reviews onboard Escapade

When ever I sat on a beach and looked at all the boats I always wanted to be on one of those boats. So for me a dream trip come true. We chartered with three other couple plus the crew. We loved the boat and had plenty of room for activities. Nothing disappointed. I was living a dream. They say find something you love to do and make money doing it. Our crew is quite possibly the best in the industry because I believe they followed that advice. Captain Luke's love of being a captain shined throug.

Crew Review - Dream Trip in USVI and BVI

We iust finished a charter with Captain Luke and I highly recommend not only the charter but the crew. They did a fabulous job of taking care of us. They knew exactly where to go and what to do. Captain Luke was professional and fun. He handled the boat with ease. He also made sure we discussed our daily agenda. He was accommodating with any changes we wanted to make, like snorkeling another day or a different location. Our chef was amazing. Everything they made was delightful. We had everything.

Crew Review - Amazing Charter in USVI and BVI

We had the best vacay ever aboard our charter yacht! The boat is the perfect size for four couples. Our crew was exceptional. Luke is very knowledgeable and confident and our chef was amazing. Honestly some of the best food we've ever eaten. Both of them are working before sun up making sure the boat is wiped down top to bottom. Both of them are also fun, caring and go the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. It sincerely exceeded any expectat.

Crew Review - Catamaran Cruise 2024

My husband and I chartered in the USVIs and BVIs for a week's vacation with friends. There were 8 quests in total with two crew: Captain Luke and our Chef. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of a Sunday to Saturday all-inclusive charter around the US and British Virgin Islands. Our crew were attentive to our dietary requests and entertainment preferences. We were collected in the marina near our hotel, which was immensely convenient. This is a vacation for relaxing and spending time with frien.

Crew Review - Relaxing Vacation with Friends

We had a spectacular time and it was largely due to our excellent crew. Captain Luke was extremely helpful, friendly, and quite competent. Our chef was out of this world. The meals were fantastic, over the top. Both were kind, helpful, and personable. The overall experience was fantastic!.

Crew Review - Fantastic Week Aboard Charter Yacht

Visiting the Virgin Islands on this yacht was a fabulous way to enjoy the views and unique natural resources of the Caribbean. Captain Luke expertly navigated the 8 of us to the Indians, the Baths, and Jost Van Dyke, to name a few. The golden hour on deck with a varying Caribbean background every night is what dreams are made of. We snorkeled, hiked, laughed and ate and drank like kings. We live in Austin and have more than our fair share of really good restaurants. Our chef surpassed my expecta.

Crew Review - Epic Vacation!

Escapade's Captain and Chef made our charter experience absolutely unforgettable! The Captain was fantastic - we always felt safe and confident with them at the helm. They expertly built out our schedules, accommodating all our requests for different activities, and was proactive in keeping us on track. Our host and chef was simply phenomenal. Her culinary skills blew us away with every meal, and her attention to detail was impeccable. From preparing late-night snacks to ensuring we minimized ou.

Crew Review

We couldn't have asked for a better crew than ours on Escapade! The Captain's expertise as a skipper was evident in their efficient handling of the boat and their ability to craft the perfect itinerary for our group. They both were incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel secure throughout the trip. The chef's role as our host was nothing short of spectacular. Her cooking was out of this world, and she had an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized them. Both of them wer.

Crew Review

Four couples decided to explore the British Virgin Islands for a quick getaway before the holidays. We choose a 55 foot luxury catamaran called the ESCAPADE and it did not disappoint! This “cat” was comfortably appointed with 4 private cabins, full shower and bathroom and A/C when needed. There were many lounge opportunities on the bow, stern and upper decks. The Captain and Chef took great care of us. The food was amazing, every meal was different. We did some off shore exploring, snorkelin.

Sailing the ESCAPADE

The crew were great! The food was fantastic and the service was second to none. This was our first time on a charter like this and they were very good in handling us first timers. .

The crew were great!

My husband and I recently returned from an amazing trip to the BVI on ESCAPADE. We have chartered several catamarans in the past and this one is by far the nicest. This catamaran is brand new, absolutely beautiful, and extremely spacious. We spent nine days on this boat with 8 other people and we never once felt cramped. There are many areas to hangout together or escape for alone time. It is equipped with 4 paddle boards, an electronic swim platform and everything needed for the perfect Caribbe.

Fabulous trip on ESCAPADE

If you have not sailed on a Bali 5.4, you should, and I would absolutely choose S/V Escapade again. We have chartered numerous cats and own a Lagoon. Bali has really done something special with the way they have opened the boat up with the 5.4. We had 4 couples plus the crew onboard and you always felt like you had a place to socialize with all 12 people or find your alone time. The captain and chef on Escapade were fabulous. They made you feel like family and took super great care of us. The fo.

Charter on S/V Escapade

We have enjoyed various trips to the islands, but this trip was like none other! We had four couples and the fabulous crew. I believe this SY is new and has all the creature comforts. The space on Escapade was perfect for the eight of us. If we all wanted to sit together, whether it was for meals or just playing cards at night, we could all gather around the dining table. But if you wanted some private time to sun bathe or have quiet conversation there were multiple places to take advantage of-a.

Our dream escape on ESCAPADE

As soon as our family got on board, the crew immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. The Captain was so accommodating if we asked to take us to certain bays. They knew the area very well and would take us to the best views, beautiful waters, and best snorkeling spots. Every day they would set up floats and rafts for us and pull out the paddle boards, even helping show us how to do it! Every single meal was AMAZING. It was so nice not having to worry about what the next meal would be. E.

THE BEST!
