TESTIMONIALS

December 2023 BVI Charter Kyle and Tilly, Thank you, we could not have asked for a more beautiful week! It was such a joy sailing with you. Everything was perfect from the boat and amenities, the amazing meals and presentations, desserts, table decor, amd wine pairings, the boat drinks, and cocktails. Every suggestion you made from coves to stay in at night, hikes, excursions to Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock, Soggy Dollar was incredibly fun. We are also thankful for you helping us gather with our .

Kyle and Tilly 2023 Reviews

We came into this trip very excited and with high expectations - and they were all exceeded and then some! The BVI delivered with stunning scenery, wonderful weather, and friendly people. But the real "X-Factor" are Rubrio and Liza. You will not find more competent or caring hosts on a boat! They made this the trip of a lifetime. Liza's meals were amazing, and dining on the fly bridge was a favorite. Rubrio made sure we had the best anchorages and the most fun possible. We are sad to leave but.

March 2025 BVI Charter

Thanks for an amazing experience for our family's first sailing trip in the BVI! You are both fantastic hosts - always assuring that we are comfortable, having fun, and well fed with amazing food!

Thanks for a comfortable vacation. I loved playing chess. After this trip I want a Sea Bob. Amazing adven.

March 2025 BVI Charter

We had a wonderful time with Liza and Rubrio as we explored BVI. The food and conversations were so nice as we went from place to place. We enjoyed our time so much! D This was an incredible experience that will not be forgotten! Pictures, activities, sailing, meals, and friendships were all included. Sitting on the bow while it rained was exhilarating. Our captain/1st mate/chef - couldn't have asked for a more experienced couple - from sharing where to visit, what island had history and.

March 2025 BVI Charter

I cannot imagine a better experience, a better boat, or a better crew! Captain Rubrio was amazing- very knowledaebale, very experienced, and always making sure everyone was happy, comfortable, and safe. In complete command of the ship at all times!. Liza was a wonderful compliment to Rubrio, and prepared world class meals every day. The boat was a pleasure to be on, and the crew was an absolute pleasure to be with". What a GREAT trip! Well done Rubrio and Liza!!! -The Feldman Family .

February 2025 BVI Charter

Captain Rubrio & Liza - what a wonderful week! You guys are amazing and not only was it a pleasure to share our vacation with you both, but an honor to meet you as well. I have never sailed before but cannot imagine a more knowledgeable and capable captain than you, Rubrio. Your complete command of everything, all the time, was fascinating to watch and thoroughly enjoyable to experience. Speaking of thoroughly enjoyable, we could not have asked for, and certainly did not expect, a chef as talen.

February 2025 BVI Charter

January 14-19, 2025 Wow!!! We had an amazing time aboard Respite at Sea, a beautiful boat. We can't say enough about Liza & Rubrio. They made our trip so enjoyable, so very very fun! Finding the perfect wave for my husband and the perfect swim beach for me. The food was fabulous - the "bread", best we've ever had (not kidding). We truly enjoyed their company. Until we meet again and we will. Love & God bless, S & P.

January 2025 BVI Charter

Liza and Rubrio, I don't even know what to write - it seems difficult to find words to express our appreciation for such an incredible time with fantastic people.

January 2025 BVI Charter

We so enjoyed our time aboard SV Respite At Sea. The vessel has been lovingly maintained and had all the amenities we could ask for. Rubrio is a phenomenal Captain- knowledgable, skilled and well practiced at his profession. Liza is a fabulous chef and hostess. Our bellies were with delicious meals daily. We hope to be back to the BVI again and wouldn't hesitate to book another fabulous journey with Rubrio and Liza. Thank you for the amazing memories. -The Harman Family.

New Years's Eve 2024 BVI Charter

Liza and Rubrio, What a trip. Everything exceeded our expectations. The two of you are an amazing team that provided everything we desired. Unbelievable food - great toys- and lovely atmosphere all tailored to what we like. We thank you! All the best to you. The Joiners.

Christmas 2024 BVI Charter

From the moment we stepped aboard Rubrio and Liza made us feel welcomed and at home. They received us warmly and had a lovely cheese platter with some of our favorites and a Happy Anniversary banner to start off our celebration. Rubrio is an excellent captain. We could tell he is very skilled and we always felt safe. He paid special attention to what we shared in the preference form and brought us to some of the most beautiful and private spots that he knew we would enjoy. We were able to hik.

December 2024 BVI Charter

Dear Liza and Rubrio, Thank you for a wonderful, peaceful time on the sea, You've made our 19th year anniversary memorable. You made us feel loved and special, and at home. We've been on several boats, but you both as a team stood out to us. We didn't know that captain Sourdough meant that the bread was freshly baked on the vessel. This is special! Also Liza is in an amazing chef who is masterful and creative, and gives attention to detail to her various style of cuisine. And it was tasty!.

December 2024 BVI Charter

November 2024 BVI Charter

What a special and incredible "Respite At Sea." Liza is an amazing chef and Rubrio a charming and knowledgable captain. I felt like James Bond on the sea bobs and loved all the beach adventures! Truly a trip of a lifetime with dear and special friends. So blessed to be part of this trip to the BVI. -Erin Awesome retirement trip with my awesome friends!! Rubrio and Liza are the best!! Incredible food beyond expectations-thanks Liza! Rubrio's experience made the best of every situatio.

November 2024 BVI Charter

Sam and Zina were simply the best!!! We have vacationed many places but truly nothing compares to the friendship, care, expertise, food and love that we received from them. Zinas cooking was absolutely 5 star.!!! Sam was a guide, a friend, a bartender- a man of all trades!!! If you are even considering this wonderful trip - just do it!!! They are the best! We will return and won’t want one thing different!! Well.. except perhaps an extended stay. 💕💕💕💕 This boat is magnificent!!..

May 2024 BVI Charter

Not enough stars to give to our crew. Sam and Zina were the BEST! One of the best vacations we have had; enjoyed every minute. Every meal planned by Zina was too good to miss; she took amazing care of us. Sam kept us laughing and entertained, and his attention to details kept us feeling safe. Hope to come back soon and will definitely look for Sam and Zina's charter. - Kathy Every aspect of this trip exceeded expectations! The Respite at Sea was beautiful and spacious - it was immac.

April 2024 BVI Charter

We could not have asked for a better week or a better crew. The boat was very comfortable and Zina’s food was amazing! Captain Sam is not only a great captain but managed to keep two teenage boys highly entertained! What an incredible family trip and I can’t thank you enough for being so wonderful with the boys. We will have memories to last a lifetime! Hope to see you two again. Perhaps a charter to St Martin and St Barts if we could sway you to leave the BVI’s. Take care! Suzy, .

March 2024 BVI Charter

I had an amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip with Sam as captain and diving instructor, and Zina as chef extraordinaire. The food was absolutely amazing. Every meal blew me away in presentation, taste, and variety. Each day was filled with new and fun adventures. I never imagined I would learn to scuba, but Sam made the experience feel safe and doable. I’m excited to continue more diving in the future. I highly recommend Sam and Zina, your every need will be taken care of before you even know you .

February 2024 BVI Charter

Our trip on Respite at Sea was literally the trip of a lifetime. Captain (and bartender) Sam and Chef Zina were phenomenal. They took such attentive and amazing care of us and the itinerary was everything we could have hoped for and more. Zina's food can’t be described….better than anything you could get at the restaurants. Still dreaming of her chicken curry. They went out of their way to make it unforgettable! Thank you! -The Stimsons.

February 2024 BVI Charter

My husband and I recently spent 5 nights on Respite at Sea with another couple. It was fabulous! Sam and Zina are wonderful and clearly take great pride in their careers! Zina's food was fantastic as were Sam's drinks! We were able to try scuba diving with Sam and absolutely loved it. We hope to be back with our kids in the future. Thank you for such a memorable adventure!! Maggie & Aaoron.

February 2024 BVI Charter

Sam & Zina were absolutely wonderful hosts! It was our first-time charting for a week and could not have picked a crew who fit us better. Sam is a focused and safe Captain who clearly knows his boat (and, how to make fantastic cocktails). Zina is an amazing Chef whose food combinations will blow your mind. Both Sam and Zina made us all feel at home right away, we were comfortable upon first setting our bare feet on their boat. There are many boats and many crews, but only one Sam and Zina...Cham.

February 2024 BVI Charter

Can’t imagine a week in the BVIs being any better. The Respite at Sea was a perfect vessel for 3 couples to explore in. It’s a relatively new boat with all the “bells and whistles “. It has 3 nice bedrooms, each with bathrooms. The crew, Sam and Zina, are exceptionally accommodating and take care of every detail. Doesn’t hurt that Zina is also a world class chef. Most importantly, these two are great people who are lot of fun to be around for a week at sea!.

January 2024 BVI Charter

Outstanding experience! Respite at Sea was ideal from the layout to the very comfortable seating areas and beds. The sailing was the highlight and very stable even in higher winds and some swells. Sam and Zina deliver an amazing level of service and Sam brings good fun and humor all day long and Zina's cuisine was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend Respite at Sea and Sam/Zina. -Rob and Chrissy.

January 2024 BVI Charter

Sam and Zina made our first experience living on the water truly amazing. From Sea bobbing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, wake boarding and water skiing to exploring beautiful places and lively establishments. Sam kept us as busy as we wanted to be. He introduced his love of scuba diving to our son who now can’t wait to become certified this summer. Everything was top notch! Sam and Zina’s welcoming personalities and knowledge of sailing made us feel right at h.

January 2024 BVI Charter

Our family of four took a seven day Christmas Grenadines islands cruise on the JimJams catamaran with Captain Sam and crew Zina. It was a truly wonderful experience! While the boat is very luxurious and well appointed, the real treat is the service provided by Sam and Zina. First the food: prior to our cruise we were asked about our food and beverage preferences, which we provided by email. Every meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner, contained scrumptious, healthy variety, all personally prepare.

Sam and Zina Past Charter Review

Ross and Dee thank you both so so much for making this charter one for the Smith family history books - Roman’s first sail, first snorkel, first sea scooter, first jelly fish sting. Julian and Lawsons first dives. Lawson’s first slalom and wakeboarding. Julian’s first water skiing. Mine and Debbie’s first sailing charter with all 3 of our boys. Everything was amazing, from the dives to the treasure hunt to every DEE-licious meal. You two are such special people who make an even better t.

July 2023 BVI Charter

Ross and Dee what an amazing trip in the BVI. Our first charter and hopefully not our last! Amazing food, sights, activities, sailing. Best trip ever! No words really, but thank you! Ross and Dee thank you so much for everything. My 40th was made unforgettable and so appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you, you guys really are the best! Ross and Dee you two are wonderful! We could not have asked for a better week on board. You made every meal, drink, experience absolutely perfect!.

June 2023 BVI Charter

Ross and Dee - travel has always been about the people you meet along the way. So thankful to you both for being part of the journey. Memories for a lifetime and beyond, love you both. Dee - coming back to the boat with your cooking and energy is like coming home. Your food is love. Thank you for the best banana desert of our lives. Ross - the excitement with which you approach our adventuring on Respite reminds us to live in the moment. Thank you both for curating experiences that allow.

May 2023 BVI Charter

There are not enough accolades for Ross and Dee, the very BEST time! The stay on the boat was full of laughs, great food, adventures, kindness and overall good times. Dee and Ross are examples of the best people you could ever meet. Dee is the girl you want your son to bring home, Ross is the guy you want to have your daughter show up with!!!! All the best to both of you, thank you for a wonderful trip. WOW! I have to admit I was a bit reluctant to take this trip. A boat for 7 days?!! Well, .

April 2023 BVI Charter

January 2023 BVI Charter

Tom and Hannah exemplified eveything wonderful about the BVIs- warmth, happiness, fun... The made this family trip one of the best family trips we have had anywhere in the world. It was perfect! We enjoyed so many things - the food, the sunsets, the diving and snorkeling, paddle boarding, the sea bobbing, and the relaxing! Tom and Hannah went to all lengths to make sure we all had a perfect trip. Hannah accommodated everyone's food likes and dislikes and made some amazing meals we all loved!.

New Year's 2022 BVI Charter

I' don't know where to start... to get to return to our beloved BVIs with the greatest Captain (Tom) and the most spectacular First Mate (Hannah) is a Christmas wish come true. From waking up to an ever changing breakfast to Scuba and Snorkeling and swimming with the biggest turtle to paddle boarding and oh my how about the sea bob! Our hearts swell with love for both of you and we look forward to a future adventure. You both inspire us to keep a smile on our faces and always look for the next .

Christmas 2022 BVI Charter

This crew is top of their game. So fun. So professional. Dee’s cooking rivals any high end restaurant we’ve ever eaten in and she delivered that level every. single. meal! Truly amazing. Ross made amazing cocktails and took us to secluded anchorages we have never seen and we loved every one. We had great sailing and we felt comfortable, pampered, safe and happy every minute we were on board. We would sail with these two anytime, anywhere. Respite herself is a beautiful and very comfortable b.

March 2022 BVI Charter

Chef Dee and Captain Ross, This was our first catamaran charter sail and it was wonderful! The snorkeling, swimming, and sailboat are all amazing! First rate and top notch! However, what stands out the most were the impeccable meals, stellar service, and non stop attention to detail from both of you!! I cannot imagine a finer duo anywhere on the seas. I cannot sing your praises loud enough or long enough. You're both so sweet, accommodating and perfectionists in every way. Thank you both .

February 2022 BVI Charter

Dee and Ross, We can't truly express the extent of our regard for the amazing our amazing vacation and more specifically for the two of you. We feel like you guys are part of our family. Your professionalism and expertise were astounding, only exceeded by your charm and warmth! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. We can see how much pride you take in your enterprise here on Respite at Sea. I hope the owners realize how good they have it with you as their champions! We will seek you ou.

February 2022 BVI Charter

My wife and I along with two other couples just got off the boat after one of our best trips ever due to the incredible experience that Dee and Ross provided. Being in the service business I greatly appreciate the attention to detail, planning and hospitality. What we all knew was going to be one of our best trips ever was far exceeded with this past weeks amazing experience. You have two of the most unbelievable hosts attending to every detail all while making you feel so special throu.

January 2022 BVI Charter

The week on The Respite was absolutely PERFECT. Let's talk about the crew, our new lifelong friends Ross and Dee... I am really struggling to find words to capture how great these two individuals are and how much we value the experience Ross and Dee provided us. Let me do my best... The love and passion that Dee put into each meal resulted in some of the best food we have ever had anywhere much less from a confined galley. Each meal blew our minds and was better than any restaurant we .

December 2021 BVI Charter

Good morning! It is hard to put into words how wonderful our vacation was. Ross and Dee are over the top! They work so well together and are so attentive. The food was incredible, and the presentation was so beautiful. Ross has some mad napkin folding skills! They were so respectful of the catamaran. You would have thought it was their personal property. The diving and snorkeling was fantastic. From the time we arrived until we reluctantly had to be dropped off they made us feel so welcome. We w.

July 2021 Charter

Dee and Ross, Thank you for taking such great care of our family. This trip will forever more be remembered as our “favourite vacation” of all time. There wasn’t a detail missed and we noticed all of them. We can’t wait to see you again, this will not be our last. We appreciate you more than you know, Mr Greminger. Dee and Ross, The cure for anything is salt water.... OR a superb meal from chef Daniella OR a perfectly chartered cruise to the most beautiful bay by Captain Ross. Tha.

Thank you for taking such great care of our family.

Dee and Ross, My favourite moment was arriving on this gorgeous boat to such a warm welcome full of so much promise. Your hard work, attention to detail, easy laughter and clear knowledge were all very much appreciated. You won’t be rid of us so easily - we will be back. Thank you for a week full of incredible memories, new family games and a relaxed husband! With Gratitude, Mrs Miller. To our new friends, Dee and Ross, This experience exceeded very high expectations! Thank you for the c.

This experience exceeded very high expectations!

Dee & Ross, what an amazing week! Thank you so much for a great 50th birthday celebration - it was perfect. It was really hard to pick a “rose” and even think of a “thorn” for the week, everything was unforgettable. Captain Ross, thanks for finding all the wildlife, starting our Instagram careers and boating lessons. Dee, always with a beautiful, warm smile and delicious meals. If only we had a “defuse card” to stop the exploding kitten/end of the vacation. We loved every minute of o.

We loved every minute of our week from morning to night.

Respite at Sea is a wonderful craft and we look forward to more equally splendid excursions aboard her. But only the crew could of Respite could actually overshadow the boat itself. Captain Rosco and Dee were just simply the best hosts that we could have possibly imagined and Tyler as first mate – he typically being a captain himself, only made the situation even more incredible! Rosco made us all feel at ease immediately with his affable nature but we knew when it came to on-board safety .

Respite at Sea is a wonderful craft and we look forward to more equally splendid excursions aboard her.

We had an amazing vacation! Dee and Ross could not have done one more thing for us to make it any more amazing. It was simply perfect! We all feel as though we made friends for a lifetime. They are fabulous and we loved them. The boat is beautiful and spacious. Clean as can be. You could eat off the floors and you can tell they put so much effort into taking care of it. The food was incredible. Dee made Gourmet meals every minute. JP (my 18 year old) actually tried new things every .

We had an amazing vacation!

My name is Jennifer Blotti and I live with my family in Switzerland. I enjoy traveling a lot and I work as a family travel blogger since many years. After several sailing vacation experiences, in August 2019 we were lucky to meet Daniella and Ross who took us on a catamaran to the Cyclades Islands in Greece. We did not hesitate to contact them again this year for our trip to Croatia because they are able to give us wonderful vacations. Daniella is not only an excellent cook, she is extremely car.

August 2020

We have just returned from our wonderful sailing holiday through the Cyclades Islands in Greece with our Family. Our holidays were unforgettable also thanks to the fact that the crew on board was exceptional. For this reason we would like to inform you that both the hostess Daniella Cox and the captain Ross Matthews, both assigned by your agency, have worked with extreme professionalism and enthusiasm, taking care to fulfill all our requests. Daniella has a particular talent for cooking, her dis.

August 2020

I wished I could put 11/10 for these two. Dee and Ross went beyond expectations. Dee always had a beautiful smile on her face and cooked amazing food. She was always paying attention to details and was really caring with us. Rosco did a fantastic job at making sure we were always comfortable and informed on what was going on. From the moment we stepped foot on the yacht he made us feel comfortable and at ease. He has a super friendly and relaxed manner and really made the week for us..

July 2020

I’ve had the pleasure of having some outstanding Captains and First Mates in the past, but Ross and Dee completely step changed any experience we ever had. Ross was phenomenal, from being an excellent, hospitable host to his ability to park his yacht in the smallest of spaces! He was a fantastic captain, always in control and always had a smile on his face. Nothing was too much trouble and Ross would jump at the opportunity to please the guests! Dee impressed us all, her breakfast spreads were.

July 2020

What a week, these two make an incredible team and I can’t thank them enough. Let’s start with Dee. She is an adorable bundle of energy with an uncanny ability to make her whole crew feel better about themselves just by bouncing around the yacht. A “Michelin-starred chef” projected to have more insta followers than Kylie Jenner by 2021, this girl could whip a King's banquet using only a billycan and a bunsen burner. I am already so jealous of her future children's lunch boxes. Now Rosco,.

July 2020

Rosco the salty sea dog was an absolute legend! Great wind awareness and sailing skills, he took the time to teach us a lot throughout the week. We had so much fun with him and Dee, both always smiling with an amazing ability to make you all feel like one big family. They make an awesome couple and a great team on the boat. Daniella went over and above with her hosting and made an incredible variety of fresh and delicious food - I was very impressed by the quality and variety and felt very lucky.

Crew

Kyle Mealand

Captain

Tilly Jones

Chef/Dive Master
Kyle grew up on the wild west coast of Scotland, in a tiny wee village by the sea. He learnt to sail in a loch close to his home and became a water sports enthusiast. After studying outdoor leadership at college he qualified as a mountain bike, kayak and sailing instructor. Kyle moved to the south of France to teach sailing at an outdoor activity centre and he now loves getting everyone behind the helm and helping with sails when he charters. Working on commercial salmon farms developed his experience handling vessels and made him the level headed and safety-oriented captain he is today.

Tilly was born in a landlocked English town and owes her love of the ocean to her surf-mad dad. As she grew up her passion for the ocean was matched only by her love of food and different cuisines from around the world that she now enjoys sharing with guests. After studying her degree in marine biology and a brief stint in a luxury ski chalet in France, Tilly moved to Scotland to pursue her career as a biologist. Here she found a love of growing food and championing local produce which she loves to incorporate as often as possible. Although she worked on boats her first real sailing experience was crossing the Atlantic Ocean and she hasn't looked back since.

Kyle and Tilly met on a small island off the west coast of Scotland back in 2018 while they were both farming Scottish salmon, Tilly as the on-site biologist and Kyle as the site supervisor. They quickly realised they shared the same passion for adventure and the ocean and spent two years working and exploring the Highlands and Islands. After an especially cold and wet winter they jumped on a boat and sailed across the Atlantic towards the sunshine.

Kyle and Tilly have been chartering together in the British Virgin Islands for over a year and love to create the perfect vacation experience for everyone that steps onboard. Whether your dream trip is anchoring in remote bays, diving breathtaking reefs, enjoying bespoke cocktails at world famous bars or anywhere in between, Kyle and Tilly have got you covered.

Crew

Kyle grew up on the wild west coast of Scotland, in a tiny wee village by the sea. He learnt to sail in a loch close to his home and became a water sports enthusiast. After studying outdoor leadership at college he qualified as a mountain bike, kayak and sailing instructor. Kyle moved to the south of France to teach sailing at an outdoor activity centre and he now loves getting everyone behind the helm and helping with sails when he charters. Working on commercial salmon farms developed his experience handling vessels and made him the level headed and safety-oriented captain he is today.

Tilly was born in a landlocked English town and owes her love of the ocean to her surf-mad dad. As she grew up her passion for the ocean was matched only by her love of food and different cuisines from around the world that she now enjoys sharing with guests. After studying her degree in marine biology and a brief stint in a luxury ski chalet in France, Tilly moved to Scotland to pursue her career as a biologist. Here she found a love of growing food and championing local produce which she loves to incorporate as often as possible. Although she worked on boats her first real sailing experience was crossing the Atlantic Ocean and she hasn't looked back since.

Kyle and Tilly met on a small island off the west coast of Scotland back in 2018 while they were both farming Scottish salmon, Tilly as the on-site biologist and Kyle as the site supervisor. They quickly realised they shared the same passion for adventure and the ocean and spent two years working and exploring the Highlands and Islands. After an especially cold and wet winter they jumped on a boat and sailed across the Atlantic towards the sunshine.

Kyle and Tilly have been chartering together in the British Virgin Islands for over a year and love to create the perfect vacation experience for everyone that steps onboard. Whether your dream trip is anchoring in remote bays, diving breathtaking reefs, enjoying bespoke cocktails at world famous bars or anywhere in between, Kyle and Tilly have got you covered.
