We had the most amazing time with Tippe, Wade and Beau (star of the show, their pupper)! This was no doubt the highlight of our trip. We spent the day snorkeling, paddle boarding, and sun bathing. Food and drinks were delicious! Y’all, if you don’t book a day, few days, or week with them… you are doing it wrong. Thank you again for the most incredible experience and making my birthday one to remember!!.

We recently spent a week with lovely host, Wade and Tippee ball, as we chartered for a week around St Thomas and St John.

The food was superb, with excellent view and many activities including paddle boarding, snorkeling, hiking an more. I am ready perusing the calendar to plan our return adventure. Thank so much for a purely magical week!.

We recently returned from the most amazing vacation upon the Catamaran Whiskey Business!
Captain Wade, his beautiful wife, Tippee and pup of the year, Bo, made the adventure the most memorable trip we have ever taken! I am at a loss for words to adequately describe our experience.
Let’s start with the most delicious meals created by Tippee! How she was able to prepare these gourmet feasts at all, never mind in such a tiny kitchen is beyond me! I would be remiss if I failed to mention Wade’s in.
March 2025
Let me start off by saying this was by far the most amazing trip my husband and I have EVER taken! And we have taken some pretty great trips. We went with 2 other couples who live in our neighborhood. This trip was beyond all of our expectations. From the first day with a champagne toast to the very last day with hugs and tears it was so much more than our dreams prepared us for. Let me start by talking about the dog – Beau. the moment I met him I knew he was going to be my heart and.

Wishing we could go back to our New Years trip on Whiskey Business! Tippee, Wade and Bo made such an unique experience for our family. Our girls (ages 19-8 years old) all had the trip of their lives!
Not sure anything can measure up to our week on the boat! The food, sailing and better yet, the new friendships we made, will be something we won’t forget!

Oh man there were tears saying our “see you laters” to Tippee, Wade, and Bo after 5 amazing nights aboard Whiskey Business. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this vacation, and it put the family in family vacation. We made a million memories and had incredible adventures. We made dear friends, and we enjoyed all the food (lobster quesadillas!!). We drank (maybe a little too much), and sat up (maybe a little too late) having belly laughs and telling stories. I teared up looking thr.

We had the absolute best vacation! We loved everything about our trip. We found the yacht to be perfectly sized for our family of 4 and had every amenity we could want. The crew were perfection! We consider them friends now, and definitely felt they heard our requests and managed to meet all of them. We got to see so much of the islands, but also had adequate time to relax and enjoy the scenery. It was a great mix of changing scenery without feeling nonstop! Keep up the good work!

If you’re seeking a charter experience that seamlessly blends adventure with the warmth of Southern hospitality, look no further than Whiskey Business. From the moment we stepped aboard, Wade, Tippee and their four-legged family member, Bo, greeted us with a smile that instantly made us feel at home.
Exploring the British Virgin Islands with Whiskey Business was a dream come true. Wade and Tippee’s knowledge of the area meant that we discovered hidden gems and picture-perfect beaches that we .

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..

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. The delicious and creative food, the crystal water, the hikes, the weather, the island cocktails made for a dream vacation.
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.

How do I love Whiskey Business? Let me count the ways!
1. Wade and Tippee truly make you feel like a guest in their home and treat you like family. They are the epitome of southern grace and hospitality!

What a vacation! We had a blast on Whiskey Business! Tippee cooking gourmet meals for us and Wade taking us for unforgettable experiences!

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!

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!.

Tippee and Wade were such amazing hostesses and made our trip perfect! Their catamaran was super clean and beds super comfy!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Captain Wade, his beautiful wife, Tippee and pup of the year, Bo, made the adventure the most memorable trip we have ever taken! I am at a loss for words to adequately describe our experience.
Let’s start with the most delicious meals created by Tippee! How she was able to prepare these gourmet feasts at all, never mind in such a tiny kitchen is beyond me! I would be remiss if I failed to mention Wade’s in.
March 2025
Let me start off by saying this was by far the most amazing trip my husband and I have EVER taken! And we have taken some pretty great trips. We went with 2 other couples who live in our neighborhood. This trip was beyond all of our expectations. From the first day with a champagne toast to the very last day with hugs and tears it was so much more than our dreams prepared us for. Let me start by talking about the dog – Beau. the moment I met him I knew he was going to be my heart and.
February 2025
Wishing we could go back to our New Years trip on Whiskey Business! Tippee, Wade and Bo made such an unique experience for our family. Our girls (ages 19-8 years old) all had the trip of their lives!
Not sure anything can measure up to our week on the boat! The food, sailing and better yet, the new friendships we made, will be something we won’t forget!

Oh man there were tears saying our “see you laters” to Tippee, Wade, and Bo after 5 amazing nights aboard Whiskey Business. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this vacation, and it put the family in family vacation. We made a million memories and had incredible adventures. We made dear friends, and we enjoyed all the food (lobster quesadillas!!). We drank (maybe a little too much), and sat up (maybe a little too late) having belly laughs and telling stories. I teared up looking thr.

We had the absolute best vacation! We loved everything about our trip. We found the yacht to be perfectly sized for our family of 4 and had every amenity we could want. The crew were perfection! We consider them friends now, and definitely felt they heard our requests and managed to meet all of them. We got to see so much of the islands, but also had adequate time to relax and enjoy the scenery. It was a great mix of changing scenery without feeling nonstop! Keep up the good work!

If you’re seeking a charter experience that seamlessly blends adventure with the warmth of Southern hospitality, look no further than Whiskey Business. From the moment we stepped aboard, Wade, Tippee and their four-legged family member, Bo, greeted us with a smile that instantly made us feel at home.
Exploring the British Virgin Islands with Whiskey Business was a dream come true. Wade and Tippee’s knowledge of the area meant that we discovered hidden gems and picture-perfect beaches that we .

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! Wade and Tippee were so very attentive to our very need and so friendly (we absolutely made new friends). They knew everything about sailing, the islands, and keeping us entertained.

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.
February 2024
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.
January 2024
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. The delicious and creative food, the crystal water, the hikes, the weather, the island cocktails made for a dream vacation.
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..
January 2023
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.

How do I love Whiskey Business? Let me count the ways!
1. Wade and Tippee truly make you feel like a guest in their home and treat you like family. They are the epitome of southern grace and hospitality!
2. Decision fatigue is a thing! Life and work has countless decisions to make everyday. When living on Whiskey Business you can trust Wade and Tippee to curate an incredible adventure and just sit back and enjoy the ride!
3. The comfort of the yacht is pure perfection and no detail has .

What a vacation! We had a blast on Whiskey Business! Tippee cooking gourmet meals for us and Wade taking us for unforgettable experiences! We toured St Thomas and St John before they took us to the British Virgin Islands! We went to the Baths and swam, snorkeled at the Indians. We saw several turtles, Bud and I both saw and swam with spotted eagle rays! The coral is amazing, so live and full of fish. We celebrated Chad Allinder, flying an Auburn and thing blue line flags.

This was our first trip to the Virgin Islands and cant imagine a better way to go! Captain Wade, Chef Tippee and their trusty Skipper, Bo, made it a trip of a lifetime. This sights were breathtaking sailing from cove to cove. We had unlimited activities from snorkeling, paddle boarding, lounging in the hammocks to exploring some of the islands famous attractions like The Baths and of course visiting some of the world-famous bars. The meals prepared by Tippee rivals 5-star restaurants and not onl.

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!.
January 2023
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.

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.

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! Tippee is amazing with what she could cook in her kitchen, and Wade’s competence with the boating and bar tending were spectacular! He was so accommodating with setting us up for snork.

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.
The boat cabins and shared spaces were spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, the drinks and meals were outstanding, we had just the right combination of activities and down time, and Tipp.

Not enough words to describe how fabulous our experience was on Whisky Business! From the first phone call with Tippee to the moment we left with 2 new friends- absolutely fantastic. The food was fun, delicious and set the tone for a great meal every time. Tippee & Wade opened up their home to us and that’s what it felt like – home on the water. Thank you Captain Wade, Tippee & our favorite 4 legged friend – Bo; for changing the way we look at travel!!.

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.
May 2022
I really can’t find the words to describe how incredible this past week was for us on the Whiskey Business. Wade and Tippee exceeded all our expectations on every level … food, drink, entertainment, relaxation, fun…every single category. We left knowing we will 1000% be back! 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!

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.
