What a week! We all had an absolute blast! Highlights – seen an octopus! Skittle Fish! The caves at the bath! The food! OMG! Chocolate mousse, the eggs, the first two days – what were they? Yum!

The time I spent here it was great! The week before I came here I was VERY worried that I was going to get seasick, but the seas were amazing! There were some swells, but overall it was a good trip! But the food! I don’t like chicken, but the chicken I ate here was the chefs kiss! The noodles were filled with cheese! Also on the last day for dessert, we had homemade chocolate mousse! Love the food here! Also, I love exploring and climbing! Our captain is super fun! Overall, it was a great vac.

Well, we’ve cruised extensively all over the world. This was an experience and like any other. The intimacy and privacy of only one other couple and Brandon and Dow. Our crew was really special! The food was beyond delicious, huge portions, and lots of variety! Dad took pictures of all mills for our scrapbook and to share. Brandon was a great and safe Captain full of energy to accompany us as we explored! This is and felt like all owner excursions should provide a tour guide. If you wanted.

I booked my first ever yacht charter over the week of New Years ‘25 for my 6 person family (wife & 4 kids aged 11-20) to celebrate a special occasion. We were hesitant to start cause of never being on the water for a week, being on top of each other in small quarters and the other unknowns that go along with something new. Well we had a FANTASTIC trip!! Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha were amazing right from our first trip planning call – to boarding the yacht – to every meal – every excurs.
January 2025
I just returned from a 8 day / 7 night charter aboard the Sommer through the BVI’s and USVI’s with my family of 6 (husband & 4 kids aged 11-20). Although I was excited about the opportunity to travel with my family in this manner, I was also a bit apprehensive with what seemed to be a small footprint over a long period of time and 2 kids that have trouble with motion sickness on land. From the moment our family stepped on the vessel, Captain Brandon & Chef Aiesha made us feel at home. The.

We recently had the pleasure of a trip on Sommer a 50-foot Leopard catamaran with Captain Brandon. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear that this was going to be a fantastic experience. The boat itself was immaculate—pristine! The modern interior was beautifully designed and in perfect condition, offering both luxury and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully maintained, and the spacious layout made it easy to relax and enjoy the j.
October 2024
We went out on a charter with Captain Brandon. We cruised down the ICW through several bridges enjoying the sights and headed out into open water at Port Everglades. The sea and sky were beautiful! My husband and I are avid boaters however having never sailed it was definitely an awesome experience to cruise through the water with just the sound of the wind and waves. Being up on the flybridge while sailing was so fun but also relaxing! This was definitely a day to remember. Thank you so much Ca.

Chef Aiesha Shachove
Chef Aiesha was born and raised in the beautiful St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. She is a proud mother of two sons, JahFari (16) and Jabahri (19). Cooking has always been Aiesha’s greatest passion. In 1998, she left St. Thomas to further her education, but as the years passed, she felt a deep, undeniable pull to return to her roots and pursue her true love for cooking. In 2018, she made the decision to move back home—a choice she considers the best she’s ever made.
Since her return, Aiesha has successfully launched her own business as a private chef, offering her culinary expertise to luxurious villas and yachts across the islands. Growing up in the Virgin Islands, the ocean was always a significant part of her life. Her father would often take her sailing through the many islands surrounding St. Thomas and the British Virgin Islands, instilling in her a lifelong love for the sea. Friends and family affectionately refer to her as a “mermaid” because of this connection to the ocean.
For Aiesha, combining her two greatest passions—cooking and the sea—has been nothing short of a dream come true. She believes wholeheartedly that when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.
