My husband and I and our closest friends just spent a week in the British Virgin Islands on Whiskey Business. Thank you for such a spectacular time Captain, Wade, and wife, (First Mate/Chef Extraordinaire), Tippee, and their adorable pup, Bo- the friendliest pup ever!

Tippee’s cooking is beyond compare and Wade’.

Dear Tippe and Wade, 30 years ago a private sailing charter in the Caribbean topped my bucket list and has stayed at the top until this week - when you checked off that box. This trip has met and exceeded all my hopes and expectations with a bonus childhood connection and two new friends (plus a canine pal!) Wade, I appreciate your easy nature combined with your management of the very serious side of our safe passage. I also appreciate your patience as I learned to get in and out of the dinghy..

Tippe and Wade Hey you guys, What an unbelievable ton of work you've done these past 5 days for us and don't think for one moment it's gone unnoticed or unappreciated. This boat feels like "love in motion". My desire at this time of life is to keep the options open, and see what flows for ever and the moment, never mind the day/week. Accept all miracles and not one is bigger than another. All are meaningful to me. Thank you so much for sharing your space, this dream, your personalities, pas.

This is my 3rd time aboard the Whiskey Business but my first overnight charter. When my sister in law was contemplating a boat charter for her 40th, I recommended she check out Whiskey Business. Tippee and Wade are first class hosts, the food is incredible and the vessel itself is perfect for what she was looking for. Lucky for me she invited us to join her on this once in a lifetime trip! I could not recommend these guys enough. You come aboard as guests but leave as family. Tippee and Wade are.

Our family had a spectacular week on Whiskey Business! Just the break we needed between Christmas and New Years. Chef Tippee and Capt Wade took care of us like family and Bo the pup was a loving and fun companion.

It exceeded our expectations and we fell in love with living on a sailboat !! Hope we can do it again soon. They are the ultimate hosts..

We probably do not know enough adjectives to describe the amazing week we spent with Tippee and Wade and Bo on Whiskey Business. They talk about having a dream vacation, well our dreams not only came true but we had new adventures and made lasting memories, and two new friends. Where do we start: OK let’s start with the crew, Captain Wade, Admiral/Chef Tippee, and boat dog Bo. Admiral/Chef Tippee made some of the most delicious meals we have ever eaten. Every day and each meal was a culinary a.

April 2023

We had an incredible week with Wade, Tippee, and Bo on Whiskey Business in March of 2023! We cannot say enough about the boat and crew. The professionalism and care taken began with us on the introductory Zoom call a few months before when Wade and Tippee asked us about our likes and dislikes with regards to food and drink, coupled with our desired activities while we were on the boat. They were very responsive every time we had a question, from the Zoom call up until a day before our trip! .

March 2023

We took our family on a week long trip on Whiskey Business and I cannot say enough great things about it. Wade, Tippee and Bo made it the best vacation ever. Tippee's food was delicious, Wade's Pain Killers were plentiful and Bo was always a willing partner for a hike. From lobster hunting, sea turtles, eels, nurse sharks, starfish and hikes, there was always something to do. So many memories were made on this trip and we can't wait to do it again!.

This charter is mind-blowing and fabulous. I’m sure there are many options but I can guarantee that the food, hospitality, and attentiveness of Captain Wade and his beautiful wife Tippee is unparalleled!!! We arrived as acquaintances and left as family! It’s extraordinarily relaxing, surreal scenery, fun things to do (paddle boards, snorkeling, swimming, hiking……whatever your heart desires. The most important nuance of the entire trip was we were all made to feel welcome, accepted, an.

December 2022

I had the honor to be a part of a celebration of life for our dear friend who had past earlier this year. It was gifted by the wonderful owners of Whiskey Business! Tippee and Wade were such amazing hostesses and made our trip perfect! Their catamaran was super clean and beds super comfy! Tippee went out of her way to make my trip comfortable since I have a food allergy, Celiac’s disease, and cooked my meals separate and especially for me and from cross contamination. She took time out and dou.

December 2022

This charter trip was a once and a lifetime trip! Wade and Tippie are such genuine people and certainly take pride in their business. Whiskey Business boat was meticulously clean and well stocked with our preferred drink and food. The fresh gourmet meals prepared by Tippie was full of flavor, and the presentation was just as delightful as well. We enjoyed the drink of the day as we spent most of the time basking in the sun on the sun deck and in the hammocks. We also enjoyed the water activities.

December 2022

We just returned from our fantastic all star trip on Whiskey Business with Wade & Tippee. A total 5 star trip! We miss it so much already! 🌴⛵️ what a fabulous time we all had! The boat was so much roomier and luxurious than we could have imagined, the meals we way more gourmet than we could have imagined!

We chartered on Whiskey Business June 15 - 22, 2022. From the moment we stepped aboard, Tippee, Wade, & Bo welcomed us and made us feel at home, on their home. The five of us could not have experienced a better week. It was flawless and pure enjoyment. We were in a stress free environment. They took care of everything and there was nothing too difficult for Tippee and Wade to do for us. We sailed; we swam; we fished; we hiked; we snorkeled; we paddled on the SUPs; we spent time on a beac.

Our family of four just finished a week with Tippee and Wade on Raisin’ Sail charters and had a fantastic time. They did a great job making sure they knew what we were hoping for, and handled everything - planning and logistics, drinks and meals, activities and outings, safety, and comfort - beautifully.

Diane and I had an incredible week on Whiskey Business (best name ever)!!! Wade, who I knew from a prior work life, and Tippee were excellent hosts and friends to us. They made us feel at “home”. While we thought we would mainly hang out on the boat (which we did a lot), we tried everything they had to offer: snorkeling, paddle-boarding, hiking, hammocks, music, etc. Having tracked their Facebook page for over a year, we knew Tippee’s food would be excellent, and it surpassed our expect.

I really can’t find the words to describe how incredible this past week was for us on the Whiskey Business.

In fact, one couple in our group already booked for next year…before we even left the boat. Our family grew by 2 this week … Tippee and Wade will forever be in our hearts and a part of our family! “Until the.

Checked a bucket list item off with a trip to St Thomas and St John. Spent a couple days at a hotel on St Thomas then toured St John and it’s National Park with Raisin’Sail Island Charters on Whiskey Business. The girls took a introduction to scuba class and went on their first dive. We snorkeled with sea turtles, we hiked to see petroglyphs and old sugar mill ruins, we laughed and ate. We spent 4 nights moored in National park waters. We come home well rested. Thank you Wade & Tippee Bis.

On our last day of a weeklong charter on Whiskey Business, I asked our 11-year-old son what was his favorite part of this vacation. He didn't even have to think about his answer. EVERYTHING. That was his answer. EVERYTHING. I realized then it was my answer, too. There was no way I could pinpoint the best part of the week living aboard one of the most beautiful boats in one of the most beautiful places with two of the most beautiful people, Captain Wade and Chef Tippee. We felt safe and comfortab.

Chef/First Mate
Tippee & Wade are no strangers to the water or to entertaining friends and family. And they are very excited to be on the Caribbean charter scene! There is nothing they are more passionate about than watching friends and family enjoying their Lagoon 450F and making memories.

Their motto is “Dream it. Then do it”. And that’s exactly what they are doing. Both have an entrepreneurial spirit and love the challenge of a new adventure. They both retired early from the corporate world after 30 years and immediately started an online business and began to execute on their dream of owning a catamaran and chartering in the Virgin Islands. Both love to travel, but the Virgin Islands stole their hearts a few years prior when they were married on St John, so this is where they decided to execute their dream!

A funny story they tell is that when they met, Wade was an “all power” toy aficionado. He owned several “power toys” including a power boat. Tippee had developed a passion for sailing in her 20’s while sailing off the beach in Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. And she preferred the quieter art of sailing versus power. When first asked about sailing, Wade’s response was “I don’t sail, I like power and speed”. That all quickly changed when Tippee planned their first sailing adventure off the coast of South Carolina. He loves to shut off the engines on their lagoon 450F and just listen to the wind. And as they say “the rest is history”.

Wade and Tippee have five children, in their 20's and 30's. Four daughters and one son. They also have four grandchildren. When they aren’t sailing or traveling, spending time with them is their favorite thing to do. They also love to fish and Tippee usually catches the biggest fish! But Wade is ok with that as long as it’s something she can cook for him.

Tippee’s love of cooking was inspired early in her life by friends and family who shaped her culinary talents. She continues to actively educate herself and learn new flavors and techniques in her culinary art. Her famous pasta with Italian Gravy is a frequently requested item from friends and family.

Wade has always loved the water, owning boats since college. Since falling in love with sailing, he has been actively educating himself on both the art of sailing and has received his captain’s license. Wade is an avid DIY’er and has ample opportunity to use his talents on the boat.

Whiskey Business also has a third crew member. He’s a four legged crew member who greets guests and enamors them with his piercing blue eyes. “Bo”, part husky and part gray hound was rescued by Tippee when he was three months old and is very emotionally intelligent! He’s never met a stranger and he might just be your favorite crew member. "Bo" can be boarded upon request.

Tippee & Wade believe that experiences and adventures are the best gift you can give your family and friends. And they love being part of helping others make memories to last a lifetime. They look forward to helping you and your family or friends make amazing memories on Whiskey Business!

Crew

Tippee & Wade are no strangers to the water or to entertaining friends and family. And they are very excited to be on the Caribbean charter scene! There is nothing they are more passionate about than watching friends and family enjoying their Lagoon 450F and making memories.

Their motto is “Dream it. Then do it”. And that’s exactly what they are doing. Both have an entrepreneurial spirit and love the challenge of a new adventure. They both retired early from the corporate world after 30 years and immediately started an online business and began to execute on their dream of owning a catamaran and chartering in the Virgin Islands. Both love to travel, but the Virgin Islands stole their hearts a few years prior when they were married on St John, so this is where they decided to execute their dream!

A funny story they tell is that when they met, Wade was an “all power” toy aficionado. He owned several “power toys” including a power boat. Tippee had developed a passion for sailing in her 20’s while sailing off the beach in Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. And she preferred the quieter art of sailing versus power. When first asked about sailing, Wade’s response was “I don’t sail, I like power and speed”. That all quickly changed when Tippee planned their first sailing adventure off the coast of South Carolina. He loves to shut off the engines on their lagoon 450F and just listen to the wind. And as they say “the rest is history”.

Wade and Tippee have five children, in their 20's and 30's. Four daughters and one son. They also have four grandchildren. When they aren’t sailing or traveling, spending time with them is their favorite thing to do. They also love to fish and Tippee usually catches the biggest fish! But Wade is ok with that as long as it’s something she can cook for him.

Tippee’s love of cooking was inspired early in her life by friends and family who shaped her culinary talents. She continues to actively educate herself and learn new flavors and techniques in her culinary art. Her famous pasta with Italian Gravy is a frequently requested item from friends and family.

Wade has always loved the water, owning boats since college. Since falling in love with sailing, he has been actively educating himself on both the art of sailing and has received his captain’s license. Wade is an avid DIY’er and has ample opportunity to use his talents on the boat.

Whiskey Business also has a third crew member.

Tippee & Wade believe that experiences and adventures are the best gift you can give your family and friends. And they love being part of helping others make memories to last a lifetime. They look forward to helping you and your family or friends make amazing memories on Whiskey Business!
