Ken Otte
Captain

Nation: Canada
Speaking Languages: English

Julie Robichaud
Chef

Nation: Canada

For the most majority of his career, Ken has been a part of the hotel and customer service industries. He began his working life in the family steakhouse in Calgary, Alberta, where he spent his formative years. The “Blackbeard’s” steakhouse was designed to resemble a pirate ship, right down to the nautical details like miles of rope, a crow’s nest, and a plank. After giving it some thought, Ken concludes that the event may have played a role in determining his fate.

In Mexico, he had his first scuba diving experience and immediately recognized it was a passion he wanted to turn into a career. An adventurer at heart, Ken found a job teaching scuba diving at the Bahamian resort Club Med. After relocating to the British Virgin Islands, I worked as a diving and sail charter captain for five years. The welcoming locals and breathtaking scenery of the BVI won him over.

Ken started a real estate profession after five years away, when he returned to Canada to raise a family. He decided to create a sailing school and purchase a sailboat on Lake Huron since he missed scuba diving and sailing. Despite having experienced some of the world’s finest freshwater sailing, he couldn’t resist the allure of the ocean. He went back to the BVI to pursue the passion project that has always thrilled him and the location he holds dear.

For vacationers of various backgrounds, Ken is the go-to guy because he loves to share his enthusiasm for sailing, diving, and marine life.

Picture this: Julie, hailing from a captivating French town in Ontario, Canada. Her summers were filled with the ethereal beauty of the lake, indulging in swimming, boating, fishing, and camping. Yet, the cold winters left her longing for a life by the warm embrace of the ocean.

From her early days as a Developmental Service Worker to her experience in Customer Service, Julie always sought to provide the best service possible. However, her true awakening came when Captain Ken introduced her to the world of sailing.

For three enchanting summers, Julie lived on Ken's majestic sailboat, learning the art of sailing. This experience taught her the importance of embracing life and happiness. Following her heart's desire, Julie embarked on a journey to become a Chef, graduating with honors from Ashworth College.

Now, as a Crewed Yacht Chef and 1st Mate, Julie proudly lives her dream. Infusing her passion for cuisine with her commitment to excellence, she creates unforgettable experiences for guests onboard.

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.
