Demian Thomas

Captain

Nation: US/Irish
Speaking Languages: English

Tabula Rasa’s crew is both owned and operated by Demian and Angie Thomas. Purchasing this boat has brought a dream to fruition that Demian has had for decades. Demian and Angie have three kids and live in Redmond, WA.

Demian has been in the yachting industry for 30 years, with experience on everything from dive boats to America’s cup sailboats, to 50+ meter yachts. His parents built a 46’ wooden sailboat by hand and the family sailed away from South Africa when Demian was 14. He has crossed the Atlantic seven times, worked feverishly in yachting while stationed on St Maarten in the Caribbean for 12 years, captained vessels in Ft Lauderdale, until the last yacht he was skippering got sold, which took him from Florida to Seattle via the Panama Canal. He met Angie in 2015, shortly before the same boat sold again, which helped him decide to start a marine management and service company in the Seattle area. Demian is an accomplished surfer and formally sponsored kite boarder, rounding out his passion for being on the sea.

Angie has been a MRI tech for over 20 years, but has always nurtured a love for being on the water. Growing up on lakes in the greater Seattle area, Angie has extensive experience in water sports, which led to her competing in wake surfing in the 2000’s and 2010’s, winning or placing in several events. Angie developed her own adoration for the sea after helping Demian with several deliveries in Mexico, up and down the west coast, and locally in the Puget Sound. She quickly adopted Demian’s dream of owning his own catamaran, solidifying that love with a 7 week trip bringing it to Seattle from Ft Lauderdale with their three kids. Angie can be found in the gym between Costco trips on her days off or hanging with girlfriends.

Both Demian and Angie enjoy meeting new people and sharing their love for everything boats. When they aren’t on board, they enjoy both water and snow sports, going to their kids sporting events, and home renovation projects keep them busy. You can often find them off camping in their trailer with their two dogs, as family experiences are held with the highest regard.

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.
