Chef / First Mate

Captain Christina
Captain Christina is a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed charter captain based in the stunning U.S. Virgin Islands, where the Caribbean’s turquoise waters and vibrant island culture have become her home. Her journey to the helm began with an unexpected twist—she inherited her first sailboat on a whim. What started as a leap into the unknown soon became a lifelong passion, leading her to trade a career in nursing for the freedom and adventure of life at sea.

Christina brings with her the precision, quick decision-making, and calm under pressure honed during her years as a dedicated nurse—skills that now anchor her work as a confident and compassionate captain. After logging over 360 days of sea time, completing rigorous USCG-approved training, and earning her Master’s License with sailing endorsements, she now leads unforgettable charters across the Virgin Islands.

Whether it’s a lively day sail from Red Hook, a serene sunset cruise off the coast of St. Thomas, or a multi-day island-hopping adventure to hidden gems like Honeymoon Bay, Christina thrives on sharing the magic of the USVI. For her, the islands are more than just a destination—they’re a way of life. The steady trade winds, colorful reefs, and close-knit island communities of St. Thomas, St. John, and beyond inspire every journey she leads.

Captain Christina is known for her warm, attentive approach and her ability to turn strangers into shipmates. She crafts personalized itineraries that highlight the best of the Virgin Islands—creating space for discovery, connection, and moments that linger long after the anchor is weighed. With each charter, she brings the same care, professionalism, and enthusiasm that defined her career in nursing, ensuring every guest leaves with a deeper love for the sea and the islands she’s proud to call home.




Chef Robert
Chef Robert has always felt at home where the sea meets the sky—salt air in his lungs, a helm under his hands, and a deep appreciation for the rhythm of life on the water. Based in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, he has spent years navigating the Intracoastal Waterway from Virginia to the Florida Keys, weaving through calm channels and venturing offshore to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and beyond. For Robert, every journey tells a story—whether it’s reading the clouds to dodge a storm, steering through choppy seas, or savoring the stillness of a starlit night at sea. There’s a thrill in delivering a vessel safely to port, knowing he’s carried someone’s dreams across the water.

But Robert’s passion doesn’t end at the helm—it flourishes in the galley. A lifelong lover of Southern cuisine, he brings bold flavors and warm hospitality to every dish, blending regional comfort food with the vibrant, sun-soaked tastes of the Caribbean. From honey-glazed salmon that melts in your mouth, to jerk chicken with the perfect kick, to a key lime pie that tastes like a tropical breeze, his meals are crafted with care, creativity, and heart.

With experience in both captaining and cooking, Robert seamlessly balances precision and imagination. He finds joy in planning menus, sourcing provisions, and creating meals that turn a boat into a home—transforming strangers into friends around a shared table. His days are a dance between two worlds: the steady hand of a mariner and the soulful spark of a chef.

Whether it’s a quiet sunset sail or a weeklong passage across open water, Chef Robert is driven by connection—crafting unforgettable moments through both cuisine and care. Each journey is an opportunity to create memories that linger long after the anchor drops: a perfect meal, a safe passage, a story shared under the stars. Always ready for the next chapter, he’s passionate about making every charter feel effortless, welcoming, and truly one-of-a-kind.

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.
