Then, sit back and enjoy a chilled 45-minute cruise out to Green Cay.

Once anchored, Deckhand Paul will get all the water toys ready for you to play with – jet skis, snorkel gear, paddleboards, and more. Whenever you're feeling peckish, there will be plenty of snacks and drinks to keep you going.

When lunchtime rolls around, you’ll be treated to an amazing Surf and Turf spread with roasted veggies, potatoes, and a garden salad. Afterwards, cool off in the turquoise waters, swim with turtles, and snorkel the nearby reef to check out some vibrant marine life.

Finish off the day with brownies and ice cream while enjoying the laid-back cruise back to Nassau, with the sun lighting up the sky over Atlantis.

Onboard since 2024
Born and raised in Rustenburg, South Africa, Dee brings warmth, versatility, and a hands-on approach to life onboard. Before joining the yachting world, she worked in a variety of roles including horse care and rehabilitation, hoof trimming and shoeing, farm and lodge management, and hospitality—all of which shaped her strong work ethic and love for serving others.

Her unexpected journey into yachting began in December 2023, when she flew to the Bahamas to visit her boyfriend. She fell in love with the industry and quickly jumped in, freelancing aboard yachts such as M/Y Oculus, M/Y Unbridled, S/Y Dream Beauty, M/Y Dream On, and M/Y Julianne. After gaining a solid year of hands-on experience, she secured a full-time position—on the same boat as her now-fiancé.

Dee holds certifications in STCW, ENG1, Food Handling, and Food & Health Safety. Her culinary style is down-to-earth and guest-focused, blending comfort with creativity to deliver delicious meals that fuel unforgettable memories. “I want guests to be able to fully relax,” she says. “If they leave wanting to come back every year, I’ve done my job right.”

Outdoorsy and practical by nature, Dee loves animals, building things by hand, and any activity that connects her to nature. Her favorite cruising destination is Compass Cay, a hidden gem in the Bahamas known for its pristine waters and peaceful vibe.

Motto: “Be the change in the world that you want to see.”

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?
