MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Harry Bowerman
CHEF: Martha Hall

Harry’s journey to the British Virgin Islands was the culmination of a decade of adventure across mountains and oceans worldwide. A lifelong sailor, he competed internationally in dinghy and keelboat classes and began teaching and coaching at just 14. Beyond the water, he spent two winters in the Canadian ski industry—first operating lifts in Lake Louise, then patrolling the slopes in northern British Columbia.
He went on to manage a sailing club in Abu Dhabi, before studying at university, where he also developed a passion for marine photography and met Martha. Since then, Harry has worked extensively in the charter industry, delivered yachts across the Atlantic, and sailed in waters ranging from the Mediterranean to Southeast Asia. Now based in the BVI, he skippers Sip Sip, and volunteers with VISAR.

Martha grew up in Devon, where her love of cooking, skiing, and life on (and under) the water began. After crossing the Atlantic, working ski seasons in the Alps, and leading diving trips with sharks, she pursued a professional career as a chef. Her love for cooking truly began when she started working in an award-winning floating restaurant under the guidance of a former yacht chef and used the skills she learned there to pursue a career as a chef. This began in the mountains and later transitioned to yachts. Martha discovered that being a yacht chef allows her to flourish in this varied and fulfilling environment where her creativity can expand under the autonomy that this work affords her, as well as, the challenge to accommodate guest’s differing requests and dietary requirement. Every day is different and it combines her love of food with her passion for adventure.
Martha’s style focuses on fresh, vibrant dishes, and she has extensive experience creating menus that cater to diverse dietary needs, particularly vegetarian and vegan. Beyond the galley, she enjoys every aspect of yacht life—whether sailing, exploring, or welcoming guests aboard.

Martha and Harry are thrilled to be able to host you aboard Sip Sip and share the beauty and the fun the Virgin Islands have to offer with you.

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.
