Apricity
Luxury Crewed Yacht Charter

February 2026

We just wanted to write to say what an amazing trip we had. Rodrigo and Alys were honestly the best. The food was so delicious and presented so beautifully we had to take pictures of every meal to remember it. Rodrigo was an excellent captain. We were able to see so many beautiful places and his recommendations were always spot on. This was a trip that we will never forget.

Rodrigo really deserves a dishwasher and some beef stroganoff!!


Best,
Jessica and Lawrence

Our family has just returned from a truly spectacular sailing vacation aboard Apricity, made exceptional by an extraordinary crew—Captain Rodrigo and Chef Alys. Many say the British Virgin Islands are the finest cruising grounds in the world, and we wholeheartedly agree. Apricity was extremely comfortable for our three-generation family, but what truly elevated this trip was the crew. We shared our meal preferences in advance, and every single meal was delicious and beautifully presented. Alys’s superyacht experience was evident throughout—her creativity, skill, and attention to detail were outstanding. Captain Rodrigo’s impressive background also showed in countless ways. Together, he and Alys crafted a perfect, customized itinerary and responded thoughtfully to our family’s needs each day, ensuring the experience was seamless and memorable. We have owned many boats—both sail and power—and have cruised in many wonderful places, but this was our very first crewed charter. Having a truly great crew, as Alys and Rodrigo certainly are, takes cruising to an entirely new and deeply enjoyable level.

Apricity:

Boat - The boat was clean and the layout was great for our crew of 5. Rooms were a great size and it was nice to have three full baths. Even with 5 plus Rodrigo and Alys we never felt crowded or on top of each other.

Crew - Rodrigo and Alys were a great match with our kids and they were both extremely patient with us! Rodrigo was so good with the boys and their endless desire to fish, fantastic captain. We also really appreciated how caring they were about our experience and their collaborative approach to our itinerary. I think we quickly found out that being on the boat, fishing, seashell hunting and snorkeling was what we prioritized and they worked to maximize that time for us, leading to a terrific trip. We also really appreciated when they jumped into things that we were doing - question games, fishing, art etc.. Without a doubt they made the trip better and are a fantastic crew.

Food - the food was great, Alys did a fantastic job meeting our various needs. If you can imagine, feeding tween and teenagers is not straightforward and she did a great job balancing their food requests with what Lisa and I wanted. Kids rated her brownies 10/10!

Overall, I think they were perfect for our family and I really appreciated getting to know them! I would absolutely recommend them for others looking for a family focused trip."

Thank you for the incredible week. We were blown away starting at our first step on the boat by the welcoming crew and beautiful boat. Each day on the trip was accompanied by delicious meals by Elif, which were all well prepared, planned and full of flavor. While sailing Milla took the time to teach our group to sail and made us feel part of the crew. Our favorite stops through out the trip were Anegada and Virgin Gorda - Tipsy’s was such a fun spot! This will forever be on the top of our trips. We are forever grateful to have experienced sailing on the Apricity.

Thanks for the around the world experiences - from the drinks to the food to the cheers (cheers, skål, serefe, sagligimiza, kippis, salute, huzzah). While the wind was strong, we cruised right along. But you didn’t steer us wrong. All the stops were the tops, and the drinks really rocked. The meals were the deals, and you really set our mood, with the amazing food! The tables were set with blingy, and you gave us rides in your dingy. This trip went fast, but it won’t be our last.

We cannot thank you enough for making our week in the BVI so incredible! From the moment we stopped onboard, you created an experience that was not only seamless but beyond anything we could have imagined.

Every detail, from the thoughtful itinerary to amazing meals - was perfect. We loved every snorkel spot, every stunning view, and every moment of simply soaking in the beauty of the islands. And our adventures of saving baby goats and sneaking conch shells onboard will definitely go down as highlights. It was clear how much care and expertise went into planning our journey, and we truly appreciate it.

Beyond that, getting to know you both and seeing your passion firsthand was a special part of the trip. Your warmth, energy, and love for what you do made all the difference, and we feel so lucky to have shared this adventure with you.

Thank you again for everything - you made this week one we will never forget! Wishing you smooth sailing and we hope our paths cross again someday.

Dear Milla and Elif, Thank you for hosting us on the most special vacation. You both have a heart of service. You give with joy. This made our trip! Milla, you really paid attention to the things that mattered to us and were so invested in making each day a special adventure. You do your work with love, flexibility, and playfulness. Even though you were working so hard you made it look fun. I think that makes a mast captain. Also, I felt very safe with you. You were careful and thoughtful in your decision making. Elif, you delighted us with such a range of foods. Sitting down to a beautifully prepared table time and again brought our family rest and connection. Thank you for managing the gluten free needs. Thank you for taking on that extra work with good spirit. We will always remember the special brownies that your surprised us with. I hope you both will treasure this year in paradise working alongside each other. We will think of you often and hope that God will bring us together again for another adventure. I hope both of your dreams come true. My blessings to your future.

This was out first time sailing in the BVIs . . . or taking any boating vacation at all for that matter, and it was absolutely heavenly. The surroundings were, of course, stunning, but it was Samantha and Adam that made the experience so wonderful for our family. They were there 100% for everything and anything we needed, but it was their warmth, kindness, sense of humor and overall positive energy that made our adventure as good as it was. We want them to come back to California with us! Samantha’s skills as a chef are RIDICULOUSLY GOOD, and we felt confident and secure with Adam at the helm. Thank you for EVERYTHING YOU TWO!

The Clark Family

Our time aboard Luna Bliss was nothing short of incredible, thanks to Captain Cash and Chef Samantha! From the moment we stepped on board, they catered to our every need, ensuring a perfect balance of fun, relaxation, and adventure.

Captain Cash expertly navigated us through an unforgettable itinerary, getting us to all the experiences we had on our list—scuba diving, Anegada, the Full Moon Party, and The Baths—while also introducing us to hidden gems like the Michael Bean Show and e-foiling at Saba Rock. Her skill in sailing and anchoring made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to soak in the beauty of the islands without a worry.

Chef Samantha blew us away with her incredible culinary skills! She not only created delicious meals that exceeded our expectations but also carefully accommodated our dietary preferences (limited dairy and no corn for one guest) without ever compromising on flavor. Every meal was a treat, and we were constantly amazed by her creativity in the galley.

Luna Bliss provided the perfect setting for a family adventure, and the combination of their shared expertise and hospitality made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you're looking for a charter that goes above and beyond, this is it! We can't recommend them enough and are already dreaming of our next trip!

Absolutely Heavenly!

Dear Alys and Rodrigo,

You both made our week aboard Apricity truly magical. Thank you for creating a once-in-a-lifetime Caribbean experience our family will always treasure.

From the moment we stepped on board, the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and fun. We instantly felt at home. You were incredibly attentive to every detail-balancing flexibility in the itinerary with a genuine focus on everyone's comfort and enjoyment.

Alys, your meals were simply superb. The quality, flavor, and presentation were all outstanding. Each morning began beautifully with a fresh fruit spread, and your creative happy hour offerings quickly became a daily highlight. Two desserts stood out in particular: the Pavlova you so thoughtfully prepared for our anniversary - a meaningful tradition from your family - and the light-as-air lemon custard that had everyone asking for the recipe.

Rodrigo, one of my favorite moments was hearing the squeals of delight as you towed our granddaughters on an inner tube around the bay. From the videos they weren't the only ones having fun. Your quick sense of humor and easygoing nature added so much joy to the experience.

You exceeded our expectations in every way. Anyone fortunate enough to charter a trip with you will not be disappointed.

With heartfelt thanks,

John & Karen
