Tyler van Roden

Captain

Born in: 1987
Nation: American

Valentina Kochian

Chef

Captain Tyler van Roden grew up hunting in the woods of Pennsylvania and fishing along the New Jersey coastline. Later he attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the Semester at Sea program. Since 2013 he has run charter sailing yachts in French Polynesia, Western Mediterranean, North Eastern Caribbean and southern Sea of Cortez. His charters include activities such as, freediving, kiteboarding, spearfishing, scuba diving, fishing, surfing, shark dives, swimming with whales and dolphin encounters. Captain Tyler will often catch fresh seafood for his guests. After safety, his main priority is to understand his guests desires to provide the best tailored experience on the water possible.

Chef Valentina Kochian grew up diving in the Caribbean sea along the Mayan Riviera. She graduated with a degree in Marine Biology in Southern Baja California and now finds herself most days on a boat in search of big marine life encounters while providing tasty, healthy meals to keep her guests happy, full and energized for the next encounter. Valentina has crewed as chef in the Mediterranean, Sea of Cortez and French Polynesia, and loves adding the local fresh ingredients wherever she finds herself to make delicious plates. Valentina is also an AIDA freediving Instructor, so her time is spent between the galley and the dive line.

Valentina and Tyler met in the Bahamas in 2016 where they formed a bond that has led them to many water adventures. Now they are back in the Bahamas to continue those adventures in one of their favorite places on earth. They will be offering shark diving, dolphin encounters, spearfishing and kiteboarding charters throughout the hundreds of islands that are the beautiful Bahamas.

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.
