Meet Captain Ryan, a seasoned mariner (RYA Yachtmaster Offshore) , born and raised in Southern Africa, where his love for the ocean was nurtured from a young age. Growing up, he spent his mornings catching lobster and riding the waves as a surfer and kitesurfer before heading to school. After completing his Yachtmaster Ocean certification, he set sail on an epic journey through the Indian Ocean, exploring the vibrant coastlines of Madagascar, Mozambique, Seychelles, and Mauritius. He then established himself as a respected charter captain in the Mediterranean, sharing his expertise and stories with guests from around the world.
In 2021, Captain Ryan made the Virgin Islands his new home, drawn by the crystal-clear waters and warm Caribbean hospitality. With over 100 charters under his belt, spanning an impressive 40,000+ miles sailed, he's now eager to share his passion for the ocean with you on Tru North ensuring an unforgettable adventure that exceeds your expectations.

Sarah’s culinary journey began during her university years while completing a degree in Business Marketing. What started as a creative outlet soon evolved into a deep passion for cooking, inspiring her to pursue formal training at a renowned culinary school in Cape Town upon graduation. Combining her love for food, travel, and the natural world, Sarah found her calling as a yacht chef — an environment that perfectly merges her appreciation for the ocean with her dedication to crafting memorable dining experiences. After living in Italy and honing her skills in Mediterranean cuisine, she joined a flotilla company where her talent and professionalism quickly earned her a promotion to lead chef within her first year. Over the past six years at sea, Sarah has continued to refine her expertise in creating vibrant, seasonally inspired menus that highlight sustainable and locally sourced ingredients. With a keen eye for detail and presentation, Sarah takes pride in designing beautifully plated dishes that reflect both her creativity and her respect for quality produce. She effortlessly adapts to guests’ preferences and dietary requirements, ensuring every meal contributes to a truly bespoke and unforgettable onboard experience.

Rounding out their seasoned crew is Hein, an experienced sailor, Dive Master, and renowned mixologist from Langebaan, South Africa. As your deckhand and steward, Hein will not only ensure you always have a delicious and unique cocktail to sip on while enjoying the beautiful scenery but will also create countless ocean adventures that will become lifetime memories for you and your family whether that be learning to freedive, spearfish, or surf on our new eFoil carbon boards.

This fun and enthusiastic, yet professional crew are super excited to welcome you onboard Tru North.

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.
