Lee Dixon
Captain

Speaking Languages: English

Captain: Lee Dixon

Lee was born in Southern Africa and educated in England. He began his maritime career in 1986 as a deckhand on a 42-meter motor yacht that chartered throughout the Mediterranean. This marked the beginning of a lifetime spent on the water.

Lee obtained his captain's license at the age of 21 and took his first command at 27. He has circumnavigated the globe twice and sailed or motored to many parts of the world.

For the past 15 years, Lee has been captaining yachts around the eastern US and the Caribbean for the same American family. Outside of diving and water activities, Lee is also an avid cyclist and golfer.

First Mate: Mark Lazor

Hailing from Clearwater, Florida, Mark grew up with the beach as his backyard and a lifelong connection to the ocean. A natural team player, Mark combines his strong communication skills, outgoing yet mature personality, and great sense of humor to create a positive and professional atmosphere onboard.

With over a decade in the yachting industry, Mark has traveled extensively throughout Europe, the United States, and the Caribbean. His passion for the sea and love of travel are what drew him to yachting—and continue to inspire him every day. When he’s not on deck, you’ll likely find him following his favorite sports teams or exploring new destinations ashore.

Stewardess: Noi Chookate

Noi was born in the Phatthalung province of southern Thailand. She grew up nearby on Phuket Island, where she developed a passion for sailing, racing small sailboats with the local yacht club. This early love for the water, travel, and meeting new people naturally led her to a career in the marine tourism industry, where she has thrived for 25 years.

Noi's talents are diverse and impressive. She loves to cook, has a keen eye for flower arrangements, and is skilled in fruit carving. Though she doesn't drink herself, she takes pride in mixing wonderful drinks for guests.

Noi is known for her positive attitude, friendliness, and always being ready to help with a smile.

Chef: To be announced.

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.
