STEWARDESS

CHEF

GUIDE - TOUR LEADER BECKY
Born in the UK, Becky’s passion for history and adventure has made her totally ensconced in living the French life since 2012. Having spent 9 seasons on Hotel Barges in Burgundy, Provence and Languedoc with the prestigious Belmont Cruises, she is bringing to Roi Soleil, a wealth of knowledge and passion, elegance and humor, all wrapped up in a ball of happy energy. Becky now lives in her Languedoc home in St Jean de Minervois and has the magic key to hidden treasures and insights that only the locals could unravel.
CHEF TOBY
With a vast hospitality experience ranging back to 2008, UK born Chef Toby is passionate about his cuisine. As a young entrepreneur, together with his life partner, also a chef, he founded a Chalet and Catering Company in the French Alps that won yearly Awards for Excellence in Best Food and Hospitality.
An assignment on Canal du Midi drew Toby to Roi Soleil where he has been a mainstay for many seasons. Toby knows how to cater to any taste and will make a creative, gourmet experience that only his abounding passion could create. His caring and involvement runs deep, not just for our guests but also in volunteering for NGOs.

CHEF DAMIAN
Incredibly creative, artistic and dynamic, Chef Damian epitomizes the standard of cuisine fit for a King. Having developed his skills in top restaurants in his homeland of New Zealand, Damian’s destiny took him all around the world, be the Caribbean islands such as Mustique or elite hunting lodges in America and private vineyards in Burgundy. His other passion took him as a competitor to the world championship for mountain-biking in the French Alps, a couple of broken bones later, he settled there in Morzine and established his own private-dining business, he is also a sought-after photographer.
This keeps him busy during the Ski Season – and Roi Soleil has welcomed Damian in the summer since 2012. So, when you cruise with us, be prepared to be taken to the next level of dining, all together with a warm and friendly attitude.
Either of our chef will be happy to demonstrate from our open kitchen/bar.

PILOT SEPPE
Introducing highly skilled, kind and jovial Seppe, who was born by a Belgium shipyard where his father worked as an engineer. Seppe has established his own boat repair business and lives happily with his young family by the Canal du Midi. With over 20 years of experience as captain onboard both private and hotel barges, Seppe chose the Roi Soleil in season 2023 as he was attracted by both the boat and crew. We are very glad that he did and even more so are our guests.

HOSTESS AISTE
Aiste was a most welcomed addition to Roi Soleil in season 2023. With a BA in Contemporary Dance from Lithuania, Aiste exudes poise and elegance as well as kindness and attention to details. Having managed and hosted for luxury villas in the Côte d’Azure for many years and then also for luxury Hotel Barges in Burgundy, Aiste is highly experienced with caring for discerning guests. She is a wonderful addition to a dynamic, professional crew who enjoys working together.

CHARTER REVIEW – 1st Charter of Season 2024 – April 7-13 – Courtesy of French Waterways
1. The staff was amazing. The boat manager/tour guide, chef, pilot and hostess fulfilled their roles with utmost professionalism and fun. Better yet….they worked so well as a team. They were constantly helping others when they had a bit of down time. They were kind, courteous, helpful and fun!!! Our group wanted to take all of them back to the US with us…haha!
2. The food was out of this world! Our group contains big “foodies” and they couldn’t say enough wonderful things about chef Toby and his awesome creations!
3. Becky, boat manager and tour guide was so fun. She was always willing to seek out options for us for sightseeing and took into consideration our likes and dislikes. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a spectacular cruise!!
4. Pilot, Seppe and Hostess Aiste were both equally wonderful to be with. They both were so accommodating and made sure our rooms were always tidy, etc. Seppe is an amazing pilot going through many locks with a vessel that barely fits!!! He was willing to dock when we wanted to bike, etc.
5. Boat is so very lovely!! It was quite cold when we started the cruise and quite warm by the time we ended. Nothing but wonderful things to say!!

Questions & Answers

How does the charter contract work?

The contract is signed directly between the Owner and the Charterer, with the support of the broker. It is usually based on the international MYBA contract model, designed to ensure clear and balanced protection for both parties.
There is also the figure of the Stakeholder, responsible for safely holding the funds until the end of the charter.

What is included in the charter fee?

The base rate includes the rental of the yacht, the use of all onboard equipment, the presence of the crew, and the related insurance coverage.
Operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, beverages, and additional activities are not included and are managed through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

The exact list of what is included or excluded will be confirmed when selecting the yacht.

What is the APA and how does it work?

The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance fund, usually equal to 25–35% of the charter fee, allocated to cover operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, paid activities, beverages, and the guests’ personalized requests.

At the end of the cruise, the Captain provides a detailed breakdown of all expenditures. Any unused amount is refunded to the client, while any overages are settled directly upon closing the charter.

What are the payment terms?

Upon signing the contract, a payment of 50% of the total amount is required.
The balance — including APA, taxes, and any additional charges — is typically due around five weeks before embarkation (depending on the owner).
Payments are made via bank transfer, which is the standard method in the luxury charter industry.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellations are possible, but the contractual terms apply.
In general, if the client decides to withdraw, the Owner retains the deposits already paid.

If the yacht is rebooked for the same period, the Owner refunds the amount recovered, minus the applicable commissions.

Every cancellation request is handled with full transparency.
Further details on the applicable policies are available upon direct request.

How can I choose the yacht that best suits my needs?

The choice depends primarily on the type of experience you wish to enjoy:

Motor yacht for maximum comfort, excellent stability, and fast transfers.
Sailing yacht for an authentic, quiet experience rooted in traditional navigation.
Catamaran for generous spaces, superior stability, and enhanced privacy.

BeBlue evaluates the destination, number of guests, personal preferences, and budget to select the most suitable option for you.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (Mediterranean: June–September; Caribbean: December–April), it is advisable to book several months in advance to secure the best available options.
We can also handle last-minute requests, depending on availability and licensing requirements.

Is it possible to personalise menus, preferences, and activities?

Absolutely. Before departure, you will receive a Preference Sheet where you can indicate your tastes, dietary needs, allergies, beverage preferences, and the activities you wish to enjoy.
The Chef and the Captain will use this information to create a fully customised experience for you.

How many guests can be accommodated on board?

Most yachts can host 6 to 12 guests, depending on their interior layout.
Some superyachts over 80 metres, compliant with international certifications, can accommodate up to 36 guests.

Will I have Internet access during the charter?

Most yachts offer Wi-Fi on board, provided through mobile networks or satellite systems. The quality and speed of the connection may vary depending on the cruising area and the technology installed.

Is tipping the crew expected?

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a well-established custom to show appreciation for the crew’s service.
International guidelines suggest an amount equal to 10–15% of the base charter fee as a reference.

Why rely on BeBlue?
