Rubrio Basilo

Captain

Born in: 1980
Nation: Portuguese
Speaking Languages: English

Liza Teer Meer

CHEF

Born in: 1990
Nation: Netherlands

Rubrio is a friendly professional captain who has been sailing for as long as he can remember. Being born on the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal in a family of sailors, he has been on the water for most of his life. His career started in his teenage years as a sailing instructor while getting his Management and Logistics degree at the University of Portugal. He soon grew into a professional racing athlete, and sailed in several classes including the world championships and the 2012 Olympic campaign for Portugal. He has over 20 years of experience in the charter business and is passionate about providing guests with the holiday of their lives, which comes naturally to him.

Liza’s love for sailing started at a young age, spending summers on her parents’ sailboat in the Netherlands where she was born and raised. With her two brothers, she spent much of her free time doing adventure sports, either on the water or mountain climbing. Throughout her student years in Amsterdam and Greece, she worked in various hospitality jobs. After a 10 year corporate career, she decided to change course and jump on a boat to cross the Atlantic, where she worked as a crew chef. This is when Liza not only fell in love with the Virgin Islands but also where she learned how much she loves creating memorable experiences through her food. She is a true believer that the way to people’s hearts is through their stomachs.

Rubrio and Liza met on Rubrio’s home island of Madeira. They soon realized they share the same passion for adventure, sailing, watersports, travelling and the ocean. Liza joined Rubrio on an Atlantic crossing and they worked one season in the Mediterranean on sailing yachts in Croatia, Spain, Italy and Montenegro. After that, they chartered in the British Virgin Islands together for a year.

Rubrio and Liza love to make their guests feel like home on True Story. This means a holiday tailored to your needs, whether your dream trip consists of exploring remote bays, barhopping at world famous bars, watersports, or anywhere in between, Rubrio and Liza got you covered! They love sharing their passion for food with their guests and are excited to introduce you to the best local produce and delicious homemade meals - a true gastronomic experience. They are looking forward to their next chapter on True Story and can not wait to welcome you aboard!

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?
