DETAILED PRICING VIEW- CLOSE

Chef Available upon Request for overnight charters.
Usually $400 a day for overnight trips and often the Captain would need a chef 1 day prior to trip for provisioning.
So 8 days @$400 equals $3,200 extra for a chef.

Day Charters Available - Customizable day/evening packages, please inquire for availability.
6 hours: $3,000 plus expenses for up to 6 passengers
8 hours: $3,500 plus expenses for up to 6 passengers
The East Ferry Deli, across the street from where Gem is based in Jamestown, is always very popular for guests to order lunches to take on board

Note from Capt. Gordon about free parking in Jamestown:
Just for future knowledge for clients: If we pick up and drop off from our berth in Jamestown the clients have free parking for 2+ weeks at Conanicut marina’s offsite yard. They also provide a driver to bring us back and forth to the cars so no taxi’s or Ubers required. I usually offer to drive the client's cars to the lot and have the marina staff take me back to boat so guests can relax onboard while I move cars.

Delivery cost from Jamestown to Sag would be an extra days work as I would need 3hrs underway to Sag then rest of day would be wash down and detailing before guests would arrive. So that would be $400 extra for delivery to Sag and potentially dockage cost. Jamestown to Sag would take about 300g of fuel round trip so would have to add that to total fuel bill. Current diesel fuel price is $4.85/g so would equal $1,455 in fuel just for delivery. (27 May 2024)

AYCA contract - Uninspected Passenger Vessel Agreement (up to 6 pax)
Recreational Bareboat Charter Agreement and Vessel Services Agreement for 6-12 pax

$27,500 plus expenses
Chef available on request - $400 per day for overnight trips

Gordon F. Henderson

Captain

Born in: 1982
Nation: US
Speaking Languages: English, basic French

Captain Gordon Henderson's journey in the maritime world started in Newport, RI, where he fell in love with sailing as a kid. His parents, both avid sailors, influenced his lifelong passion for the sea. His Dad, Nigel, was one of the most respected and knowledgeable yachtsmen in the industry. As a child, Gordon was an enthusiastic surfer, skateboarder, and snowboarder, while also excelling in competitive sports. He captained his high school varsity soccer team during his junior and senior years and achieved a ranking of third in the state for freestyle swimming. His summers were spent at the Ida Lewis Yacht Club, where he honed his sailing skills, further cementing his love for boating.

Gordon's professional journey into yachting began in earnest during his college years, working as a mate on yachts each summer. After earning a BS in Business Management from Plymouth State University, he committed to a full-time yachting career at age 22. By 25, Gordon had obtained his 100-ton USCG Captain's License and was captaining sailing yachts. His certifications, including a 200-ton RYA Yachtmaster, MCA Approved Engine Course (A.E.C.), First Aid CPR, and PADI Open Water Diver, perfectly reflect his motto, “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn”. Over the past 21 years, he's sailed far and wide, gaining tons of experience along the way. From steering both motor and sailing yachts to leading trips across the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, Gordon's done it all. He's racked up over 140,000 miles at sea, becoming a pro at navigating through any conditions.

Whether he's captaining motor or sailing yachts, Gordon's known for keeping things ship-shape and safe. Gordon prefers an interactive charter style, enjoying guest engagement, excursions, and watersports, while also understanding the need for tranquility. His favorite destinations include the Galapagos for its unique wildlife, New Zealand for its diverse landscapes and welcoming people, and the British Virgin Islands for their vibrant atmosphere. His extensive experience, combined with his passion for yachting and positivity, ensures that he creates unforgettable charter experiences for his guests.

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?
