Craig:
Craig has owned NEON MOON, a Lagoon 450F since 2017. He's been coming to the British Virgin Islands since 2012 and has over 800 days of sea days.

Raised in Montana, Craig now splits his time between there and the British Virgin Islands.

Craig has completed two careers, the first as a firefighter for 22 years in Salt Lake City retiring as a captain in 2022, and the second career was as a helicopter paramedic. He did this for 24 years during and after the firefighter career.

Craig also has his commercial pilots license with over 2000 hours of flight time, though he decided airline life wasn’t something he wanted to chase anymore and turned to the sea.

It’s my pleasure to introduce my first mate and best friend. Tara:

Tara has her degree from Oregon State in Biology. She has had one of the most interesting lives of anyone I have ever met. She was a river patroller, microbiologist, has starred on three full season adventure reality tv shows, was a cell tower climber, crossbow performer touring the world, and currently works as a wildlife pencil artist, real estate broker, and loan signing agent.

She’s lived the ocean life for several years and is an advocate for the environment with an appreciation for all things natural..... she will humbly educate us along the way.

She brings an intelligence and thirst for knowledge that is inspiring to anyone who meets her.

She’s lived, worked, and traveled throughout the world and currently resides close to family in southern Oregon.

Jasper is a certified service dog 3/4 cocker 1/4 poodle, 22 lbs great with children and adults. He sleeps at Tara's feet 90% of the time, loves adventures. He also loves pets from anyone after a 15 second introduction.

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.
