This has been on my bucket list for a long time and I’m so happy that we finally did it! This has far exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful boat with plenty of space to spread out and relax, the most delicious meals, the best captain, beautiful islands, snorkeling, gorgeous water, hiking, amazing cocktails—I could go on and on!
But truly, without Teagan & Colby this trip wouldn’t be the same. Such a lovely couple, so hospitable, make everything look so easy! S.
Wow! What a magical trip in the BVIs!
Mystic was more than perfect, and somehow Colben & Teagan made the experience even better.
Colben was always ready for an adventure—from playing crazy card games with us, pulling Connie on the slalom ski to teaching us how to skip water toys across the water. His energy, patience, and enthusiasm made every day unforgettable.
And Teagan—where do we begin? Her chef skills are out of this world. Every meal was prepared to perfection and was also extreme.
A bucket-list trip we can finally cross off… only to add it right back to the list!
Colben & Teagan,
Amazing trip thank you to the both of you. You come across people in your life that you feel blessed to have met and you two are definitely two of them. Thank you for everything!! It has been a very special week.
Love,
LeeAnne
Colben & Teagan,
Amazing week with y’all. Thanks for all of your hard work to make this week be so special. You never know in life who you will run into and make a connection but so thankf.
We are blessed to have met you!
Teagan and Colben,
We are extremely grateful for the fabulous adventure on the Mystic. Your gracious hospitality has been amazing! This week has far exceeded our expectations and we hope to see you again on the Mystic or in Kentucky! Thanks again for an incredible vacation journey! David and Laurie, Versailles, KY
Colben & Teagan,
Thank you for a wonderful week. This is such a beautiful place. When you arrive, you hope the crew is friendly and accommodat.
What a fabulous adventure!
Teagan & Colben - Thank you for an unforgettable bucket list vacation! You two are truly incredible. Thank you for making every detail so special. You are always welcome to Charleston. We can't wait to do this again with y'all! The Pietzes
Dear Teagan & Colben
We knew this trip would be incredible, but you exceeded every expectation in every way! Guiding us around these beautiful islands and making every detail extra special. The food, the laughs - you two .
You two are truly incredible!
The week-long charter on Mystic was absolutely exceptional, blending five-star service with the laid back experience you want on a vacation. The vessel itself is spectacular and offers spaces for both engaging as a group, or finding solace on your own reading a book. Every moment on the water felt luxurious yet effortless, thanks to a crew that made every detail seamless. Teagan and Colben are master service providers, but more than that they are lovely to hang out with. The combination of brea.
Spectacular!
We absolutely loved our stay on Mystic. The boat is absolutely gorgeous and provided plenty of space for our crew of eight. The bedrooms were incredibly comfortable and we all slept soundly. Colben and Teagan's attention to detail is top-notch. They took such great care of our every need. From the perfectly planned route for the week to the specialty cocktails and beautiful meals, we felt completely spoiled. Teagan is a fabulous chef! The boat is fully stocked with everything you need to .
I cannot say enough about our experience on this boat!
Teagan & Colben –
Wow. Thank you so much for having our crazy crew of Carib Boys / Bait Boys/ Zero Heros aboard the Mystic. The cadence of every day (every moment!) was perfect – sunrises on the bow, incredible meals &deserts, adventures with Colben, snorkeling with turtles, hikes, signature drinks, by Teags (that the Carib Boys often didn’t need), and all of the stories/laughs. You both made our vacation 11/10 & unforgettable. We will miss you so much! Come .
11/10
We just completed a seven-day adventure in the British Virgin Islands aboard the Mystic. Before the trip, we knew little about the islands or sailing in the area, but we had heard wonderful things—and we were not disappointed. My best advice is to be very selective when choosing your options and to pay close attention to both the boat and the crew. We made an excellent choice with the Mystic and her crew, Colben and Teagan.
Teagan is a talented chef who prepares flavorful me.
We had heard wonderful things—and we were not disappointed!
What an amazing week! The two of you made our time in the BVI unforgettable - we will be talking about this trip for years to come! John & Darla
This was our first BVI cruise and we our still amazed how much fun we have had. The meals, the views and the hospitality were all just amazing. We will return one day only if our hosts Colben and Teagan are available. Great trip! Mike & May
What a perfect fun and relaxing vacation! Best crew, great accommodations, .
A perfect vacation!
Colben & Teagan,
Words can never express how grateful we are to have you as our crew! You both were so mindful and made the trip perfect. We would never want to experience the BVIs with anyone else!
Thank you for all your hard work and attentiveness. We adore you
both!
Until next time,
Amanda
Thank you so much for an amazing Vacation! It was a week to remember. We had So much fun crushing you guys and playing cards!
Thank you
A week to remember!
Colben + Teagan,
Can’t even begin to thank you for our trip of a lifetime. From beginning to end, everything was perfection. The food was not only delicious but made to look so amazingly beautiful. I’m going home to recreate my tablescapes. We felt so at home and welcomed. Although Colben took us on the “Hike from Hell” (lol…), he always made us feel safe and took us to the most beautiful adventures. Every anchorage was more gorgeous than the last. You two a.
Every anchorage was more gorgeous than the last
We had an unforgettable week on the Mystic! Thank you Teagan for the amazing meals, cocktails, conversation, and laughs. Thank you Colben for keeping us safe despite our unwillingness to wear the ‘orange thing” and fishing with the boys all hours of the day and night. Our highlights were snorkeling at Cooper Island, scuba diving with sharks, the Baths, the ole bucket trick, food, service, sailing and more!
Thank you guys so much!! The Paulsons

An Unforgettable week.

Many, many thanks Teagan & Colben, for a really fabulous week on Mystic! Teagan — you were an even better cook & cocktail shaker than Colben was a captain. You guys kept us well fed, wa.
Colben & Teagan:
ONE WORD – AMAZING!!!
We can’t thank you and Colben enough for the greatest trip! We all agreed that we couldn’t have asked for a better crew that fit with our family and were so easy to be around and spend time with. You totally spoiled us with your incredible cooking, yummy drinks and tidying up after all of us! Colben was also the best captain who we always felt safe with and he was so attentive and patient with everyone…he was especially great with Nicholas and the fishing! Nicholas really look.

Teagan + Colben,
What an unforgettable BVI cruise! From the moment we stepped onboard, the crew (you two!) made every detail feel effortless + special. The meals were absolutely delicious — each one thoughtfully prepared (thanks for the dairy free options!) and a highlight of our days.
The hikes were incredible, taking us to the coolest spots & letting us experience the islands in such an authentic way — water shoes for Kevin even worked!

You made us feel like royalty!

Thank you for another wonderful week! We appreciate so much all of the thoughtful things you do to make us part of your ‘Ohana while we’re with you. Miss B – the food was even more incredible than usual. It’s like eating in a fancy restaurant 21 straight times! Thanks so much!! Love you for that. Capt. Rob - the attention to detail and flexibility you gave us really made it an extraordinary “custom” trip. You are the be.
An extraordinary "custom" trip!
Dear Rob and Belinda,
You are the only person, B, who makes cooking for 8 people every night look so easy!!! You both are so servant hearted in all that you do in making everyone feel welcome and known. We will be making t-shirts containing all the great lines that came out of our laughter and experiences this week. The kids loved everything you provided for them in this adventure like rock climbing, e-foil, sailing, snorkeling, and jumping off of things. Every single one of u.
A lifetime of memories!
Rob + B
What an amazing week! I have never been so happy with such a diverse assortment of fruit + veggies every meal to fuel us for activities. Thank you for teaching us about the island and animals and bringing us to your favorite spots. Next time we will see some whales! We love sailing with you!
Jack + Danielle, Boston MA.
We love sailing with you!
Thank you so much for the BEST week. The food was incredible and you couldn’t have made the trip more relaxing or enjoyable. The snorkels, floats and beach bars were all homeruns. This was such a memorable and unique trip. Until next time!
Matt + Jessie, New York NY.
The BEST week!
Dear Mr Rob and Mrs B
Thank you for the bestest trip that I’ve ever taken in my whole life. You guys were the best people to have on a boat. You make this boat feel bigger than the Relentless II because of how nice and wonderful you are. I will never forget you guys and I hope you never forget me 😊
Love – the one and only Catsline.
The bestest trip! :)

Jaymie and I had such high hopes for our trip, and somehow you exceeded them. Every island you took us had it’s own special vibe. The beaches, bars and snorkels were all amazing. B’s meals were spectacular. We’ll be taking a month to shed these dessert pounds off 😊 Thank you so much for the vacation of a lifetime!
The best memories are made with great friends. We are proud to be part of your journey and consider you &ldquo.
Vacation of a lifetime!
Rob and B,

Loved, Loved, Loved it! This was our 1st experience on a Charter and 1st time in BVI – Exceeded all expectations and the food! B-you are amazing. Yummy, healthy and beautifully presented. You are beautiful people and have found the perfect place for your skills. Enjoyed so very much.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Corrine & Bruce.
Exceeded all expectations!
B & Rob,
The two of you made our trip to the BVI’s the best ever! Your food, your personalities and the well outfitted Mystic all make your charter the best. Thanks for taking such great care of us + you did an awesome job showing us the best of the BVI’s even in such windy conditions!
All our best, Dave and Tammy – Montana.
Best trip ever!
Rob & B,
This was our first trip to the BVI’s and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Rob’s knowledge of the islands and ability to navigate to calm waters during an unusually windy time was so helpful. B’s meds were amazing. Have never eaten so well. We wouldn’t want to do this trip on any other boat.
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!
Mike & Carol.
Trip of a lifetime!
Rob + B,
Thank you for such a perfect vacation. Our trip around the islands could not have been better.
The food was absolutely incredible. I’m coming home with several new recipes.
Your ability to skipper the boat and get us to such wonderful places = sometimes in spite of the wind – was amazing.
We will always remember this trip!
Thank you,
Debbie + Roger.
Such a perfect vacation!
Rob & B,
We could start by naming every awesome aspect of this trip; boat, views, food, excursions, but the two parts that really made this a dream vacation is the hospitality provided by you both. I thank you for making my 60th birthday unforgettable. We appreciate all you did for us on this trip. We have amazing memories, lots of pictures of beautiful locations and delicious food. We will recommend this experience to all of our friends! And hope to sail with you both again!
An AWESOME trip!
Rob and B,
Thank you so much for such an incredible week. Before we left, my siblings and I sat in the airport anxiously chatting about who the two people would be that would be leading our week long vacation and by default, would be living with us for 10 days. A full circle later, on our last night, we all talked about how beyond happy and surprised we were not just about the incredible experience you both provided but your wonderful nature as people, your kindness, humor, hospitality .

Thank you for our incredible journey around the BVI. From our first meeting on the dock to our last sunset, what an amazing week! Rob, you should write a book about all your incredible adventures. You are a wonderful storyteller. B, you should write a cookbook! Every meal was fantastic! I'm going to miss your cooking sooo much. This was a trip of a lifetime that we will never forget! Like Stacey said, anytime you guys want to come to Virginia or North Carolina give us .
Incredible journey around the BVI
Dear Rob & B
Thank you for making our family Christmas (and my "big" birthday) so special! You made our trip! From the incredible meals and table settings :) To all of the activities and toys, you both are the best hosts. You went above and beyond - even making me the most delicious chocolate cake for my birthday - thank you! This trip far exceeded our expectations because of you. And I've never seen Andy relax so much on vacation! You two are special people and we are so lucky .

THIS WAS THE .
The best week ever!
Who ever said that there is no gourmet food in the BVI has certainly not had the pleasure of
eating from the Mystic’s floating kitchen with B (Belinda Bentley) at the helm, and to
reference Rob as ‘just the captain’ would be like saying Luciano Pavarotti could sing a note
or two. We just returned from a week in the BVI with these two, and the experience was
absolutely fabulous!

May 2024
Rob was incredible - he led us on so many great excursions, showed us things we never would have seen on our own, and planned lots of fun adventured for our kids. He taught us a bit about sailing and shared so many great stories of his own sailing adventures. He was patient with our kids and just made the whole trip wonderful. We all felt very safe and secure the whole week knowing that we had such a capable and knowledgeable skipper in Rob!

If I said that my trip with Rob and B and the Mystic was the number one best trip of my life, I wouldn't be lying! Private sailing, crystal blue waters, snorkeling with turtles, and stingrays, and wonderful conversation with my favorite people, what could make it better? I'll tell you what could make it better, "B!!!" Belinda took this vacation to another level. Each meal was part of the adventure. Exquisite in flavor, and designed to our tastes, she made exception after exception in making exce.

We had an incredible trip. The boat, islands, food, weather, etc.. were all fantastic but Rob and Belinda really made the trip. They are an awesome team and did a great job not only hosting but engaging our entire family. We left after 7 days not only with a great vacation experience but two new friends.
We will definitely book again and look forward to it. .

You can charter other Bali 5.4 catamarans, but unless you charter the Mystic 5.4 crewed by the couple Captain Rob and Chef Belinda Bentley, you’ll be missing half the experience of your BVI sailing adventure! This couple/crew are hospitable, knowledgeable, charming, warm, and funny with a great sense of humour. They complement each other so well as 1st mate and sous chef! They provided tips on and gave historical and nice to know facts of the islands we visited. By the time our charter end.

What a great adventure! To have such a wonderful and new experience with family made us feel very blessed, and it was topped off with such a fantastic crew of Captain Rob and Chef/First Mate Belinda Bentley on the Mystic 5.4 catamaran. Not only was the catamaran absolutely stunning and accommodating, but the Bentleys also ensured we enjoyed every minute of it!

Belinda and Rob,
Its pitch black, at 5am, as I begin to write this. I’ve been the lucky one tasked to figure out how to somehow thank you both by putting words on to paper. It is no small feat, and as always, I’m concerned that I will somehow fumble my words along the way… but honestly, it will be typical of me!
Wow…Just…WOW. THANK YOU!
We can’t even describe how simply magnificent this whole week has been for us.

Best Vacation Ever!
Not one of our 20 members were disappointed with their trip.
It was our best trip to date, and we’ve been on a lot of other ones.
The itinerary was perfect and they catered to our every desire.
If we wanted to change plans mid trip they did their best to accommodate
us in every detail. We didn’t miss a thing!!! Plenty of play toys for the adults and children.
Snorkel gear was supplied for all, along with water boards and rafts and other toys.

THANK YOU for an amazing trip and the wonderful experiences.
We all had a blast and felt very blessed to have you be our hosts for the week. The food was amazing and the many stops between each meal were welcomed adventures. From jumping off Will T's, to meandering through the Baths, to New Years on Anegada...we all had a ball!! I can assure you this trip will be talked about for many, many years!
Thank you again for your hospitality .

What a glorious time my family had sailing with you in the BVI’s! As we anticipate winter temps and probable frozen precip this evening, we are longing for Belle Vie, your hospitality and those warm, sunny islands!! I don’t think we can ever top the fun times and adventures we had with you. Thank you so much for giving all of us the trip of a lifetime. We had such fun!!!
Both of you were always right on hand to offer hospitality and adventures. Eli.

Hey Rob and Belinda,
We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful experience!
I honestly do not have the words to say what you two did for me personally. You were so kind to show me the ropes, let me get in the way and share some of your knowledge about sailing and the lifestyle that I couldn’t get anywhere else. My desire to sail has gotten a million times stronger thanks to the both of you.
On top of that, you made sure we still had a vacat.
