Captain Mark
Meet Mark, your accomplished and adventurous captain aboard Ripple. Born in Japan and raised in England by American parents, Mark has always possessed a deep-seated passion for voyaging and all things nautical.
Mark's sailing journey began at the tender age of 13 when he completed his RYA day skipper course on a 32' sloop, navigating the picturesque French and English coasts. His love for the sea led him to pursue a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth, where he also obtained his Yacht Master certification. During this time, Mark worked as a local dive guide and RIB pilot, honing his skills and knowledge of the marine environment.
Driven by a desire to explore the world, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor, working in various locations across the globe. With thousands of dives under his belt, including a remarkable 4.5-hour dive to 260' on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu, Mark's expertise in the underwater realm is unparalleled.
Over the past 17 years, Mark has been an integral part of the luxury yachting industry, earning his MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable highlight of his career was his time spent with the race vessel 'Earthrace,' where he and a team of four crew members circumnavigated the globe in a record-breaking 60 days aboard a 78' motor yacht – a World Record that still stands today!
As your captain on Ripple, Mark brings his wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion for exploration to ensure that your charter experience in the Virgin Islands is nothing short of extraordinary. His love for the region and its vibrant culture, coupled with his expertise in all aspects of yachting, guarantees an unforgettable adventure filled with fun, discovery, and natural wonders.

Chef Kathryn
Born and raised in Central Florida, Chef Kathryn developed a deep love for the ocean early on—surfing and fishing along the coast before eventually taking up sailing as an adult. Her natural affinity for the water has grown over the years through racing regattas on the Chesapeake Bay, sport fishing, and crewing passages aboard private yachts. These experiences have awarded her thousands of nautical miles throughout the Caribbean and along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

Kathryn’s culinary journey began at just 14, working in a local deli after school. She quickly rose through the kitchen ranks, eventually stepping into line cook roles in high-volume restaurants, where she thrived under pressure. After time away to explore other ventures and raise a family, she returned to hospitality to run her family’s bar—reigniting her love for crafting meaningful experiences through food and service.

Over time, Kathryn’s relationship with food evolved into something deeply holistic. Cooking became a way to connect people, honor local environments, and nourish both body and soul. Inspired by her extensive travels, her cooking style is eclectic and intuitive—she may serve fresh ceviche one day and prepare local fare from the port the next. She is passionate about clean, fresh ingredients and tailoring every meal to guest preferences and dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and allergy-conscious requests.

A registered nurse as well as a chef, Kathryn embodies the intersection of care and cuisine. After the COVID pandemic, she leaned into travel, cooking, and mindful living—which eventually led her to the world of yachting, where all her passions converge.

When she’s not in the galley, Kathryn enjoys staying active and grounded—spending time with her three children, camping, fishing, hiking, skiing, golfing, going to concerts, and working out. For her, cooking aboard a yacht is not just a job—it’s a mindful labor of love, delivered with warmth, skill, and a genuine joy for making every moment onboard unforgettable.

“Cooking is not just what I do. It’s a mindful labor of love—to create something with quality ingredients, that is nourishing and delicious, tailored to the client’s preferences and conscious of the environment.” – Chef Kathryn




Deckhand / Stew Caitlin Green
With a deep love for the ocean and a drive for adventure, Caitlin Green has spent the past three years working aboard sailing and power catamarans along the East Coast and beyond. She has logged over 8,000 nautical miles, from the quiet anchorages of Chesapeake Bay to Fort Lauderdale’s busy waterways and through the locks of the Panama Canal.

As a Deck/Stew, Caitlin brings a solid foundation in both exterior and interior yacht operations. Whether handling lines, assisting with water sports, standing watch, or setting up for guest arrivals, she approaches every task with focus and enthusiasm. She’s equally at home mixing an Espresso Martini as she is running the deck, and her dedication to seamanship and safety is reflected in her recent achievement of a 200 Ton Captain’s License.

Earlier in life, Caitlin worked in hospitality, first waitressing and later managing a bed and breakfast overlooking a bay known for its whales. Those experiences honed her eye for detail and service, skills she now brings to life at sea.

Joining Ripple is a proud step for Caitlin, and she’s eager to help create smooth sails, good memories, and plenty of laughs for guests along the way.

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?

BeBlue specialises in yacht vacations and, as fully licensed maritime brokers and tour operators, guarantees:

  • access to the entire global fleet

  • full transparency on costs

  • contractual and logistical support

  • personalised management of preferences and unexpected situations

  • high standards of safety and protection

It is the simplest, safest, and most efficient way to enjoy a top-level charter experience.

Can I request dedicated assistance for my charter?

Every charter is unique. To receive a tailored selection of yachts, a clear quotation, and personalised support in planning your trip, we invite you to contact us directly.
Our team will guide you with care through every stage of the experience.
