Chef/First Mate

Nation: USA

Captain Lars Lindstrom
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Lars first fell in love with sailing at age 9 during a summer sailing camp on local lakes. His early passion quickly grew into leadership, eventually becoming head counselor at the same camp. After college, Lars settled in Austin, Texas, where he spent seven years working in engineering—until the sailing itch returned.

In 2012, a friend (quite easily) convinced him to buy his first bluewater sailboat in Florida. He used every vacation day exploring the Bahamas before committing to a full year-long sailing sabbatical. That journey took Lars and 34 friends island-hopping the entire Caribbean chain, from Florida to Trinidad and back, aboard a 39ft Beneteau.

Returning home, he realized desk life was no longer for him. He shifted gears and joined the professional yachting world, working as a watch leader and engineer on 100ft+ performance sailing yachts. Over the next eight years, Lars sailed extensively across the Pacific, Caribbean, and Mediterranean.

Ultimately, Lars missed the freedom and intimacy of smaller boats. Together with his partner, Jasmine, he returned to the Caribbean to run sailing charters—sharing his love for adventure and life under sail. A sailor at heart, he never misses a chance to hoist the sails and shut off the engines.

Most recently, Lars and Jasmine joined a catamaran specializing in kiteboarding and wingfoiling charters. Always up for adventure, Lars can be found teaching guests how to harness the wind—or out enjoying the breeze himself whenever conditions are right.

Chef Jasmine “Jaz” Johnson
Jasmine—known to most as “Jaz”—grew up a true East Coast baby: born in Pennsylvania, raised in Baltimore and North Carolina, and eventually joining her family in Florida. She studied exercise physiology and nutrition before moving to New York City to pursue a career in fitness. After a decade in the city, she discovered a deeper passion for travel and wellness, eventually teaching yoga around the world and opening her own studio in Key West.

From a young age, Jaz was immersed in life on the water—diving and fishing with her dad, and later learning to sail Hobie Cats with her mom in the harbors of Key West. The yachting world offered a perfect blend of her eclectic skills and passions: from hospitality and craft cocktails to her lifelong connection with the sea.

After rising to the role of Chief Stewardess on both motor and sailing yachts, Jaz made a creative leap into the galley, completing French culinary training to pursue her love of cooking professionally. Her cuisine draws inspiration from global travel, fresh local ingredients, and the nostalgic dishes of her childhood spent cooking with family.

With her warm energy, adventurous spirit, and dynamic background, Chef Jaz brings an unforgettable blend of flavor, soul, and style to every charter.

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:
