TESTIMONIALS

Harry and Kristen,

Our trip was absolutely perfect. Each place was more beautiful than the last. The two of you made a bucket list into life long memories. Everything from the itinerary of our travels to the food and drinks each night was nothing short of perfection. It felt like we had beach and every part of the islands all to ourselves which is exactly what we wanted. Bryan is so excited to bring his new Australian vocabulary back to South Carolina. We cannot wait to try to recreate .

What a wonderful week of fellowship and laughter. We had no idea what to expect and were pleasantly surprised with your impeccable attention to detail. Your ability to "read" the room and adjust accordingly is second to none. Harry, thank you for two amazing dives and putting up with a million questions about the boat. Kristen, the food preparation and presentation is like nothing we have experienced.

Crew Review - February 2026 (Prior Boat)

We just returned from the most splendid one-week sailing holiday in the British Virgin Islands, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain James and our incredible cook, Phoebe, made us feel completely at home.

Captain James was calm, knowledgeable, and always attentive, choosing perfect anchorages and giving us the confidence to fully relax and enjoy the journey. Whether we were sailing between islands, swimming in crystal-clear waters, or watching u.

February 2026

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better crew or a more meaningful week sailing through the British Virgin Islands. Celebrating my grandparents’ 60th wedding anniversary on this tandem trip was already special, but James and Phee elevated the experience beyond anything our family could have imagined.

Phee was the absolute loveliest—gracious, elegant, and endlessly hospitable. Every meal she prepared was a work of art: vibrant, colorful, and full of flavor. My favorite meal of th.

We had such an amazing time in the BVI's on the 54' Bali Catamaran with Captain James Cotter and Chef Phee!

I had sailed on the Oceana with my family of 5 in late july and had to go back again with friends!

The attention to detail to customize our week to meet our needs was off the charters fabulous! Sailing, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, sea scootering, paddle boarding, dining, fabulous drinks, great wines, cab ride with Sweet Willie T, Coco Maya dancing, lobsters in Anegada, .

Kristen Cornelsen

Chef / First Mate

Meet Captain Harry and Chef Kristen, an adventurous couple who met on a bus while traveling through Morocco and have been exploring the world together ever since, whether on land or at sea. As seasoned sailors working in the BVIs, they love sharing their favorite secluded bays as well as the hotspots around the Caribbean. Together, they take pride in showing guests the BVI through their own eyes, from snorkeling and diving to sharing their love and knowledge of the ocean along the way.

 

CAPTAIN HARRY
Born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Harry has always been drawn to the water. He began sailing at just six years old, racing Sabots and Flying 11 dinghies before progressing to larger yachts as a bowman. With years of professional experience in the industry, Harry has turned a lifelong passion into a rewarding career. After earning a degree in commerce, Harry quickly realized the corporate world wasn't for him. Instead, he chose to follow his love for the ocean, skippering yachts along Australia's east coast, working aboard charter superyachts, and completing sailing passages across the globe. A passionate ocean lover, Harry has been a certified SCUBA diver since age 17 and an instructor for over five years. He enjoys taking guests to vibrant reef systems and historic wrecks, sharing the unique marine life and stories of each cruising area.

Her childhood passion for sailing eventually led her from land to a life at sea after meeting Harry, and she's since found her niche cooking nourishing meals for others aboard a boat. Kristen loves incorporating fresh, local ingredients to curate health-conscious meals that fuel both the body and the soul.
