Kendall White
Captain

Nation: USA
Sailed Years: 35
Speaking Languages: Steven: English, French
Bonnie: English

Kari White
Chef/First Mate

Nation: USA
Sailed Years: 7

Captain Kendall
Captain Kendall is a lifelong waterman whose sailing journey began on the shores of Maryland and has taken him across oceans. Holding a USCG 100 Ton Master’s License, advanced medical certifications, and thousands of miles under sail—including a transatlantic crossing aboard a 52’ catamaran—Kendall brings seasoned seamanship and calm, confident command to every charter.

His connection to the sea runs deep. At just 14, Kendall was working the crab boats of the Chesapeake Bay. By high school, he was racing Hobie Cats and exploring the coastline aboard Catalina sailboats. His twelve years of service in the U.S. Navy sharpened his discipline and navigation skills, including four years stationed in Sardinia, where he refined his yacht-handling aboard a 12-meter Bruce Roberts cutter in the Mediterranean.

Today, Kendall is right where he belongs—sharing his passion for the water with guests aboard Paradigm Shift. As captain, his approach is equal parts professional and personal. He’s known for his easygoing nature, thoughtful leadership, and deep love for creating unforgettable moments under sail. Guests consistently remark on how quickly they feel at ease aboard, free to relax and truly disconnect.

Ask anyone who knows Kendall, and they’ll tell you—few people are more at home on the water. The only one who might rival him is his wife and first mate, Kari.



Chef Kari
Kari is a foodie at heart—believing the table is where everyone can come together to share love, connection, and joy. Her travels to Italy, Greece, Mexico, and Japan have deeply influenced her culinary style, bringing global inspiration to every plate she prepares. She holds STCW safety training and an advanced certificate from The Private Chef Academy.

Kari grew up in California’s Central Valley, where the aromas of her family’s café helped shape her earliest culinary memories. As a young adult, she worked in many of the beloved restaurants of the Monterey Peninsula, including Il Fornaio Cucina Italiana and the world-renowned Pebble Beach Resort. There, she developed a love for freshly caught seafood, seasonal produce, and bold, vibrant flavors—elements that continue to define her cooking today.

As chef and first mate aboard Paradigm Shift, Kari brings a laid-back, California-coastal approach to her cuisine—colorful, clean, and deeply satisfying. Her dishes highlight fresh herbs, citrus, and subtle spices, crafted with a nurturing spirit that makes guests feel truly cared for from the very first bite.

Kari’s inclusive, grounding energy comes naturally—she’s a mom herself and instinctively creates a space where guests feel safe, seen, and well-fed. Whether she’s serving island-style drinks and appetizers, guiding a morning stretch on deck, or leading a paddleboard session in a quiet anchorage, Kari helps guests exhale, feel at home, and savor every moment. Together with her husband, Captain Kendall, she brings ease, warmth, and joy to life on the water.

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.
