Captain Mark
Meet Mark, your accomplished and adventurous captain aboard Ripple. Born in Japan and raised in England by American parents, Mark has always possessed a deep-seated passion for voyaging and all things nautical.
Mark's sailing journey began at the tender age of 13 when he completed his RYA day skipper course on a 32' sloop, navigating the picturesque French and English coasts. His love for the sea led him to pursue a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth, where he also obtained his Yacht Master certification. During this time, Mark worked as a local dive guide and RIB pilot, honing his skills and knowledge of the marine environment.
Driven by a desire to explore the world, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor, working in various locations across the globe. With thousands of dives under his belt, including a remarkable 4.5-hour dive to 260' on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu, Mark's expertise in the underwater realm is unparalleled.
Over the past 17 years, Mark has been an integral part of the luxury yachting industry, earning his MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable highlight of his career was his time spent with the race vessel 'Earthrace,' where he and a team of four crew members circumnavigated the globe in a record-breaking 60 days aboard a 78' motor yacht – a World Record that still stands today!
As your captain on Ripple, Mark brings his wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion for exploration to ensure that your charter experience in the Virgin Islands is nothing short of extraordinary. His love for the region and its vibrant culture, coupled with his expertise in all aspects of yachting, guarantees an unforgettable adventure filled with fun, discovery, and natural wonders.
With Mark at the helm, you can rest assured that your journey aboard Ripple will be safe, exciting, and tailored to your every desire. Get ready to embark on a voyage like no other, guided by a true master of the seas.



Chef Kathryn
Born and raised in Central Florida, Chef Kathryn developed a deep love for the ocean early on—surfing and fishing along the coast before eventually taking up sailing as an adult. Her natural affinity for the water has grown over the years through racing regattas on the Chesapeake Bay, sport fishing, and crewing passages aboard private yachts. These experiences have awarded her thousands of nautical miles throughout the Caribbean and along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

Kathryn’s culinary journey began at just 14, working in a local deli after school. She quickly rose through the kitchen ranks, eventually stepping into line cook roles in high-volume restaurants, where she thrived under pressure. After time away to explore other ventures and raise a family, she returned to hospitality to run her family’s bar—reigniting her love for crafting meaningful experiences through food and service.

Over time, Kathryn’s relationship with food evolved into something deeply holistic. Cooking became a way to connect people, honor local environments, and nourish both body and soul. Inspired by her extensive travels, her cooking style is eclectic and intuitive—she may serve fresh ceviche one day and prepare local fare from the port the next. She is passionate about clean, fresh ingredients and tailoring every meal to guest preferences and dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and allergy-conscious requests.

A registered nurse as well as a chef, Kathryn embodies the intersection of care and cuisine. After the COVID pandemic, she leaned into travel, cooking, and mindful living—which eventually led her to the world of yachting, where all her passions converge.

When she’s not in the galley, Kathryn enjoys staying active and grounded—spending time with her three children, camping, fishing, hiking, skiing, golfing, going to concerts, and working out. For her, cooking aboard a yacht is not just a job—it’s a mindful labor of love, delivered with warmth, skill, and a genuine joy for making every moment onboard unforgettable.

“Cooking is not just what I do. It’s a mindful labor of love—to create something with quality ingredients, that is nourishing and delicious, tailored to the client’s preferences and conscious of the environment.” – Chef Kathryn




Deckhand / Stew Caitlin Green
With a deep love for the ocean and a drive for adventure, Caitlin Green has spent the past three years working aboard sailing and power catamarans along the East Coast and beyond. She has logged over 8,000 nautical miles, from the quiet anchorages of Chesapeake Bay to Fort Lauderdale’s busy waterways and through the locks of the Panama Canal.

As a Deck/Stew, Caitlin brings a solid foundation in both exterior and interior yacht operations. Whether handling lines, assisting with water sports, standing watch, or setting up for guest arrivals, she approaches every task with focus and enthusiasm. She’s equally at home mixing an Espresso Martini as she is running the deck, and her dedication to seamanship and safety is reflected in her recent achievement of a 200 Ton Captain’s License.

Earlier in life, Caitlin worked in hospitality, first waitressing and later managing a bed and breakfast overlooking a bay known for its whales. Those experiences honed her eye for detail and service, skills she now brings to life at sea.

Joining Ripple is a proud step for Caitlin, and she’s eager to help create smooth sails, good memories, and plenty of laughs for guests along the way.

DISTRIBUCIÓN DEL YATE VER- CERRAR

Preguntas y respuestas

¿Cómo funciona el contrato de chárter?

El contrato se firma directamente entre el Armador y el Cliente, con el apoyo del bróker. Normalmente se basa en el modelo contractual internacional MYBA, diseñado para garantizar una protección clara y equilibrada para ambas partes.
También está prevista la figura del Stakeholder, responsable de custodiar los fondos de forma segura hasta la finalización del chárter.

¿Qué incluye la tarifa de chárter?

La tarifa base incluye el alquiler del yate, el uso del equipamiento a bordo, la presencia de la tripulación y la correspondiente cobertura de seguro.
Quedan excluidos los gastos operativos como combustible, provisiones, tasas de puerto, bebidas y actividades adicionales, que se gestionan a través del APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

La lista exacta de lo que está incluido o no será confirmada en el momento de seleccionar el yate.

¿Qué es el APA y cómo funciona?

El APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) es un fondo anticipado, normalmente equivalente al 25–35% del precio del chárter, destinado a cubrir los gastos operativos: combustible, provisiones, tasas de puerto, actividades de pago, bebidas y solicitudes personalizadas de los huéspedes.

Al finalizar la travesía, el Capitán entrega un informe detallado de los gastos. Los importes no utilizados se reembolsan al cliente, mientras que cualquier exceso se liquida al cierre del chárter.

¿Cuáles son las condiciones de pago?

Al firmar el contrato se requiere un pago del 50% del importe total.
El saldo — que incluye el APA, impuestos y posibles cargos adicionales — suele solicitarse aproximadamente cinco semanas antes del embarque (según el armador).
Los pagos se realizan mediante transferencia bancaria, el método estándar en el sector del chárter de lujo.

¿Puedo cancelar una reserva?

Sí, es posible cancelar, pero se aplican las condiciones previstas en el contrato.
En general, si el cliente renuncia, el Armador retiene los depósitos ya abonados.

Si la embarcación se vuelve a alquilar para el mismo período, el Armador reembolsa la cantidad recuperada, descontando las comisiones correspondientes.

Cada solicitud de cancelación se gestiona con la máxima transparencia.
Más detalles sobre las políticas aplicadas están disponibles contactándonos directamente.

¿Cómo elegir el yate más adecuado para mis necesidades?

La elección depende principalmente del tipo de experiencia que deseas vivir:

  • Yate a motor para el máximo confort, gran estabilidad y traslados rápidos.

  • Velero para una experiencia auténtica, silenciosa y ligada a la tradición de la navegación.

  • Catamarán para amplios espacios, mayor estabilidad y más privacidad.

BeBlue analiza el destino, el número de huéspedes, las preferencias personales y el presupuesto para seleccionar la opción más adecuada para ti.

¿Con cuánta antelación se recomienda reservar?

Para la temporada alta (Mediterráneo: junio–septiembre; Caribe: diciembre–abril), se recomienda reservar con varios meses de antelación para garantizar las mejores opciones disponibles.
También gestionamos solicitudes de última hora, siempre que la disponibilidad y los requisitos de licencia lo permitan.

¿Es posible personalizar el menú, las preferencias y las actividades?

Por supuesto. Antes de la salida recibirás un Preference Sheet, en el que podrás indicar tus gustos, necesidades alimentarias, alergias, preferencias de bebidas y las actividades que deseas realizar.
El Chef y el Capitán utilizarán esta información para crear una experiencia completamente a medida.

¿Cuántas personas pueden alojarse a bordo?

La mayoría de las embarcaciones puede albergar entre 6 y 12 huéspedes, según su configuración interior.
Algunos superyates de más de 80 metros, conformes a las certificaciones internacionales, pueden alojar hasta 36 personas.

¿Tendré conexión a Internet durante el chárter?

La mayoría de las embarcaciones ofrece Wi-Fi a bordo, a través de redes móviles o sistemas satelitales. La calidad y la velocidad del servicio pueden variar según la zona de navegación y la tecnología instalada.

¿Está prevista una propina para la tripulación?

La propina no es obligatoria, pero es una práctica habitual para expresar agradecimiento por el trabajo de la tripulación.
Las directrices internacionales toman como referencia un importe equivalente al 10–15% de la tarifa base del chárter.

¿Por qué confiar en BeBlue?
