TESTIMONIALS

Dirk & Sandy, We had wonderful trip thanks to your hospitality and skills. We did get the owners cabin, but that was not the key ingredient. It was delicious food and great wines and actually standing up on the e-foil. You two are a beautiful couple. The magic ingredient to the most perfect vacation. Thank you for your “can-do” attitude. We hope to see you next in Nantucket! Sandy was a superb chef, all meals were tasty and well presented. The yacht was very clean and comfortable. Dir.

February 2024

The food was very good. I was particularly impressed with her ability to navigate our situation which included 1 vegetarian, 2 lactose intolerant, and 1 committed carnivore. All the meals prepared had something that made everyone happy and I’m sure it wasn’t easy to construct a menu within those constraints for 3 meals a day. We had poor weather for half the trip but our Captain made sure we had safe harbor and as smooth a ride as possible under the conditions. We also found things to .

February 2024

Wow, oh wow, what a spectacular journey we have had a board Le rêve. From the moment we stepped on board in the pouring rain, then the skies cleared and the wonderful good times sailed on in. The food, the wine, the wonderful care and attention you put into every detail and thoughtful efforts made each minute on the boat a dream. Thank you for the special memories we will always cherish. Happiest days! Gretchen and Jos, Wendy and Jon, James and Katharine .

April 23 - April 27, 2023

Dear Captain/Doctor Dirk and Chef extraordinaire Sandy – seven days has always gone by far too quickly in the past so we found the perfect solution in chartering for 10 days! How fortunate are we?! We loved every single moment of our of our amazing adventure! Thanks so much for yet another unforgettable trip! The food the diving and other activities were fantastic! See you again next year..

March 28, 2023

"John B.! John B! John B.!" (this is a reference to Le Rêve starring in the hit series Outer Banks.) We had such a great last sailing with you guys! Tethered swims, floating in the water chairs, and of course the infamous Dirk rescue mission to save the fallen beer and coozie! We knew Dirk was the man for the mission - it was like watching a member of seal team six spring into action as Dirk dove from the boat with precise and determined focus. surfacing minutes later successful - fulfil.

March 12, 2023

Dear Sandy and Dirk, what an incredible once in a lifetime experience! I said years ago for my 40th I dreamed of going on a boat with dear friends. You made my dream come true and beyond! I'll never forget getting my piña colada served my ocean seat and my wine at sunset in the water watching stars come out, or tubing to Saba rock! So much laughter! And relaxation and beauty! And you both bring such a sense of calm and ease to everything. The food is SENSATIONAL, gorgeous, delicious and nutri.

How did you find your crew? Were they friendly, knowledgeable, attentive and accommodating? Dirk and Sandy were one of a kind.

They were fantastic in every sense of the word, and we could not have asked for a better crew; Kind, knowledgeable, fun, experienced, and simply great to be around. Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your favorite asp.

January 2022 - Broker provided survey

We celebrated a week with family and friends in a charter over New Year's. It will be a time we will never forget. Our experience aboard Le Rêve was awesome.. Captain Dirk and Chef Katy (who filled in for Chef Sandy since she was filming her cooking show in New York) were fantastic they took us to save a rock for New Year's Eve, foil boarding, cave exploring, epic snorkeling, serene sales on the blue water side of Cooper, Norman and five star meals we can go on… Thank you for everything! - Th.

November 15 - 19, 2022

Five days on a cruise with my son and grandchildren and with the refreshing assistance of Sandy and Dirk I became as relaxed as a baby at sleep. Refreshed, I am ready for a new day. With civilization all around us, it was rechargeable to feel like we were in a different world on the water. My body thinks you, my mind thinks you, my heart thinks you and my soul thank you Michael .

August 14 - 22, 2022

It’s 6pm and we are all looking around for our Sandy-appetizers & Dirk-cocktails!! 🤪 What an amazing trip last week was for our family.

You two were amazing in your level of service and attentiveness to our every need; it was truly the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. Thank you so much for such a wonderful week! .

Captain Dirk and Chef Sandy - Where to begin? The moment we set sail we knew it was going to be an experience of a lifetime! The ocean and island views were just breathtaking! The hues of the ocean water will be forever embedded in our minds. Anthony's SCUBA expeditions were the best he has ever experienced. Our favorite stops... Ann at Tipsy's, the Soggy Dollar experience, Hendo's for some delicious cocktails, Saba Rock 'cool bar' with tarpon feeding and of course Strawberry at Sidney.

April 11 - 17, 2022

March 2 - 9, 2022

We thank you for a week of spectacular fun and adventure! From Sipping Sunday to Sad Face Saturday we enjoyed sensational sunrises and sunsets with rainbows every day! We loved swimming, snorkeling, seeing the turtles, skiing in the blue Caribbean waters, sailing, cigar smoking, star gazing and SCUBA diving for spiny lobsters! The food was beyond delicious with the additions of fresh caught mackerel and tacos at Lime Out. You mixed the best cocktails and we loved hearing Dirk say “Do.

February 19 - 26, 2022

Dear “Mom and Dad” (aka Sandy and Dirk) Camp Le Rêve was so much fun!! The food was amazing, and the beverages weren’t too shabby either! We’ve enjoyed the daily field trips snorkeling, partying at the Soggy Dollar Bar, using the paddle board for our table. We are sure all the other kids were jealous! We hope you will allow us to come back - until then, keep living’ the dream With love and gratitude - Bob, Denise, Stacy, George, Kevin and Laurel .

February 10 - 16, 2022

Captains Dirk and Sandy - We’ve had a marvelous sail and getaway in the USVI. Your thoughtfulness and attention to every detail were just what I remembered from New England and you on my radar for the Caribbean trip I really wanted to share and introduce the experience to Tucker and Morgan. It was an added bonus to close the circle by having Laurel and Philippe here and of course, Bill was with us, too! Le Rêve is remarkable in her comfort and performance - clearly you are proud, but.

Jan 22 - 29, 2022

We are writing this at anchor off Cooper Island in the setting sun with a painkiller in (each) hand, and we’ve never been happier! The perfect end to the perfect day and the perfect week!

The boat is impeccable and Sandy’s food incredible and Dirk was always there to meet our every need whether it be rides to the beach or keeping our glasses full. We all really needed the time to rest and relax and be together as a family. It drew us closer and we had so many laughs! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts. 
Cammy, Ma.

December 28, 2021 - January 4, 2022

Dirk and Sandy - Thank you for reading our story and requests and follow up with a week-long super relaxed trip! Le Rêve is a fabulous cat that you keep impeccable and has everything and more than you can expect. The itinerary was perfect around the USVI. The SCUBA diving was superb.

December 19 - 26, 2021

Dear Captain Dirk and Captain Sandy - Words cannot adequately express the amazing BVI trip that we had aboard your beautiful Le Rêve. We had been told that this would be a “trip of a lifetime” and it exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The 62 foot luxury catamaran Le Rêve was a 5 star resort at sea. The huge master suite and bath combined with the most comfortable bed made sleeping in a treat. Sandy is an excellent Chef and every meal and dessert were made to perfectio.

It took nearly a year and a half for us to make this trip work, but it just goes to prove yet again that the best things in life come to those willing to wait.

So where do I begin? We started in Newport first loading our gear and then having lunch ashore. We departed from the fuel dock at the Newport yachting center as perotti’s were not accommodating despite dirk having cleared it with them the night before!

We Loved Every Single Minute of It

We enjoyed being on the boat, going to the different spots, letting me sail a bit (absolutely loved that return from Anegada to Marina Cay), and generally taking our foot off the brake for a while as we had fun down there with you all. You showed us so much from the busier anchorages in Jost Van Dyke to the more remote spots like Brewer's Bay, it really checked all the boxes. Like I said, it was a wonderful feeling mid-week to wake up and not know what day it was. Being on a charter boat as c.

Grins and Memories for a Lifetime!

Our family can't thank you enough for recommending the Catatonic for our vacation. We had the most incredible time, each day was a great adventure that I really can't describe appropriately. Each snorkel spot was a little different than the last. We docked in cool spots with exactly the sort of the things we like to do. Snorkeling with huge Tarpon, bouldering and jumping off big rocks or big boats, colorful fish and coral, hiking and playing on pristine beaches, etc. I can't say enough great .

How Do We Top This Vacation?

Dirk and Sandy - Can’t tell you enough how much we enjoyed the trip. From the sailing lessons to all of the wonderful spots you took us, it’s been the trip of a lifetime. We are already trying to figure out when we can return. Catatonic is an awesome sailboat with an even awesomer owners/crew :-). Good luck to you two sailing on! Brad and Nyssa.

April 2018

When we arrived it was apparent that we all were in need of a vacation, however what we got was so much more. Over the last week we received a plethora of memories, 5-star meals and incredible scuba dives. From lobster to turtles to Natalie's lobster tan, the islands have offered us wonders of nature and in return we hope to bring help in any way we can in order to rebuild this beautiful place. We are truly thankful for this adventure. Natalie, Juliette, Christine, and Gene.

May 2018

Thank you so much for an incredible trip, very sad to leave! The girls first sailing experience was one the will never forget. Looking forward to booking another trip with you VERY SOON!! The water is colder than yesterday:) Thank you for everything, Matt, Taylor, Katie, and Libby.

February 2018

Trip of my dreams came true! So happy the Lord brought me to you and Cat 500! And what a surprise to have my mom at my side too. That piece is the best! Nevertheless, the trip would not have been this comfortable and fun without you, Sandy and Dirk, and the rest of the boat family you brought. Thanks for helping me find such wonderful people to come along! Dirk - thanks for answering my numerous questions about boats and boat language. Sandy - as everyone said your cooking - superb! Also, you op.

January 2018

Dirk and Sandy, Thank you so much for an amazing 9 days on your beautiful Catatonic 500! The hospitality that you show us every time we get together makes us feel so like family! Bananas Foster, Key Lime Pie, Ice Cream of many flavors - so amazing!! Swimming pigs, dolphins off the bow and friendly sting rays- how cool!! Karaoke, friendly card games, and charades - what memories are made of!! Kite boarding, water skiing, and snorkeling a reef - pure island dreams!! GTC poker run - how fun! Jef.

January 2018

Christmas on a sailboat in the Bahamas with blue seas and palm trees. A most memorable vacation for us and our 4 children. Thanks to Sandy and Dirk for your hospitality, great food, tender rides to shore, and anything else we needed! Sailing offered a completely different way to experience a vacation. We are completely relaxed! Can't think of a better way to end 2017 and begin a new year. We enjoyed game nights - every time we watch American Idol, we will think of you! Best wishes, Janet, Pa.

Christmas 2017

Dear Dirk and Sandy, thank you hardly express our gratitude for your opening your home to our group to enjoy a trip of a lifetime! Some of our favorite memories include the lobster Lasso, our lobster cowboy, the pain killers and all the various captains concoctions, snorkeling with the sea turtles, the party with Cardi B until we got kicked out 🙂 the glowing Tarpon eyes, reeling in the Blockfin tuna while rolling with the waves and riding the float boat to the lily pad for taco Tuesday! All of.

Meet Captain Dirk and First Mate Sandy DeLo and share in their passion for boating, fun and adventure!

After receiving his Ph.D. from Columbia University, Dirk started his career in education, ultimately working his way into the field of technology. His land-based career offered him the opportunity to work in locations around the globe such as Switzerland, Brazil and China. His last post before casting off the dock lines was serving as Chief Technology Officer for a New York City based global education company.

Dirk started sailing solo at 5 years old, crossed the Pacific Ocean from LA to Honolulu at 14 as part of a racing crew, and has been leading yacht charters around the world for over 25 years!

Some of his favorite destinations are French Polynesia and the British Virgin Islands which he first visited in 1981. He is an avid water sports enthusiast and will be happy to lead you on SCUBA dives in the best locations, snorkeling, tubing, wake boarding, knee boarding, kayaking, SUPing, deep sea fishing, and even provide an introduction to kite boarding.

Dirk also has a Mavic Pro drone aboard and will be happy to record breathtaking footage of your dream vacation aboard Le Rêve.

Chef/Captain Sandy loves preparing delicious meals for guests and introducing people to the seafaring lifestyle! She stars in her very own cooking show called “Cooking with Yacht Chef Sandy” and loves to showcase meals she makes aboard for her Roku TV and YouTube viewers.

Prior to taking to the ocean, she led the Corporate life, having worked Internationally in Australia, Italy, London, India and Thailand. She spent her first career on Wall Street in technology-related roles for a Fortune 100 Firm and a few extra years as a Management Consultant, also in Technology.

In addition to serving as Chef aboard, Sandy is also a PADI Divemaster and a USCG Certified 100 Ton Master Captain with blue water experience on the high seas. Some of Sandy’s favorite spots are the Virgin Islands (especially Waterlemon Cay!) and the Exuma Islands of the Bahamas.

Dirk and Sandy have been in the Virgin Islands charter industry since 2007, first as yacht owners with hired crew aboard. In 2013, they deepened their commitment to yachting, adding a 38’ day charter motor yacht based in New York to the fleet. 2015 brought a second motor yacht operating day charters in Long Island Sound and their charter operation was running in full swing.
