Paul Warner
Captain

Nation: USA

PAUL WARNER - CAPTAIN
Captain Paul, born in Malta as a Royal Airforce military brat, moved frequently throughout his childhood until his family
settled in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Paul’s maritime journey began at 17 when he sailed away aboard a 282’
Schooner, and he then earned his first captains role at 21 on a 170’ dive ship. With extensive navigation and charter
experience along the US East Coast, Bahamas, and Caribbean, he has also navigated Mediterranean waters and South
America. As a professionally trained maritime engineer, Paul takes a hands-on approach to ensure the vessel’s smooth
operation and loves personally taking guests on tender excursions. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, camping,
cooking, and participating in Boy Scout events with his two boys, both Eagle Scouts, with one now serving in the Navy.
Paul is excited to welcome you aboard and ensure you have an unforgettable experience where every detail is tailored
to create cherished memories for you and your guests

ANDREW VENTRES - MATE/ENGINEER
Andrew was born and raised in a small town in the Connecticut River, sailing around Long Island Sound
since childhood. Obtaining a free sailboat as a high school project cemented his love for the sea and
respect for the work required to maintain a sea-worthy vessel. He enjoys any time outdoors, from
scuba-diving to windsurfing to kicking back and enjoying the quiet sunset at anchor. He has been a
full-time professional crew member for four years and loves every moment of it.
Andrew is dedicated to providing a fun, safe, and unforgettable experience for all guests aboard M/Y Indy

JIM RUCH - CHEF
As a seasoned chef with over two decades of culinary expertise, my journey has taken me from the
bustling kitchens of top restaurants to the exclusive realms of high-net-worth individuals and luxury
yachts. Whether orchestrating gourmet experiences or entertaining guests through my guitar
performances., I bring a blend of professionalism and passion to every occasion. With a foundation rooted
in classical European and Asian cuisines, and formal training from culinary capitals like Tokyo, Bangkok,

preferences. I look forward to the opportunity to create unforgettable culinary memories together

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.
