Nation: USA

Captain Roy Pat Rucker
Captain Roy Pat Rucker has helped dozens of clients experience unforgettable dream vacations since 2013. He has spent over 4 years sailing around the Virgin Islands and is a certified advanced diver. He’s a Texas-born-and-raised cowboy who worked on ranches and rodeoed in his youth.

He recently retired from BP after 30 years of service, where he held many roles including mechanic, lead tech, maintenance team leader, fireteam leader, and maintenance planner working on offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caspian sea off the coast of Azerbaijan.

In 2017, he lost his Three Moons Charter yacht to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. He was devastated at seeing the damage the island had taken and all his hard work in utter desolation. He did everything right, but in the end, he lost his dream and his crew lost their jobs.

Through the ordeal, however, he ended up getting married and realized how much he had loved his time on S/Y Three Moons. He and his wife, Natalie decided to get a catamaran together and start over.

Chef Natalie Rucker
Natalie’s background is in the optical world, where she spent 29 years as a certified optician. She loves working with people and customizing their experience. Customer service is her forte! Natalie will tell you she has the best job in the entire world. She gets to help make sure you eat delicious food, drink the best drinks, and have the time of your life! And as an added bonus, she can adjust your sunglasses if you sit on them. Natalie’s favorite destination is Dinghy’s on Water Island for Sunday Fundays and live music. She also loves Hull Bay for is quiet local vibe. For drinks, she’s a sucker for Diet Coke & Cruzan Rum and Margaritas!

First Mate/ Security Officer/ Cuddle Buddy "Pete"

You won’t find a better First Mate than this handsome, well-mannered Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund. As a mature 5-year-old, Pete is dedicated to keeping the crew and all aboard the Barefoot Cowboy in good spirits. He’s laid back, enjoys chasing reflections, riding in the dinghy, long walks on the beach, swimming, loves naps and acts as Captain Roy’s shadow when off-duty.

He has made over 200 friends in his first year of duty! He enjoys the dock hands stopping by to say hello and bring him treats.

Pete also specializes in security detail. He ensures that any dropped food on deck is cleaned up ASAP.

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
