L'EQUIPAGGIO VEDI- CHIUDI

RJ Portman

Comandante

Nato a: 1977
Nazione: USA
Lingue parlate: English

Jenna Taylor

Chef/Mate

Nato a: 1986
Nazione: USA

This fun sailing duo has been on the Caribbean blue together for nearly 5 years! As adventurers, delivery
crew, private charter crew and as sailing instructors; RJ and Jenna have always found a way to sail
together.

Captain RJ, originally from Alaska, began sailing many years ago in the Puget Sound, surrounded by
mountains and the beautiful city of Seattle. Longing for warmer wind and water (as many of us do), RJ
decided to sell his businesses, officially downsize his life and move to St. Thomas to become a sailboat
captain. And that is exactly what he did. Not long after moving to the USVI, RJ found himself the cocaptain of a fun little day charter boat named, Rumbaba. Though she was a simple little 39ft Hunter
monohull; Rumbaba was a blast to take guests out on. Incredible scenery, snorkeling with turtles,
delicious grilled lunch entrees and all the fresh cocktails you could handle made each outing something
special for every guest. Making the top 10 of all activities to do on St. Thomas and Trip Advisor verified
that!

First Mate Jenna grew up on Newman Lake, Washington; a beautiful little lakeside community outside of
Spokane. Her love for boating began from a very young age; sitting on her Dad’s lap and racing the
speed boat from shore to shore. Jenna’s eventual move to Seattle only gave her more access to playing
on sailboats on the Puget Sound. Loving the city, but needing escape, boat camping, or as Jenna would
say, “Bamping”, around the many islands and bays of the sound became a frequent weekend event. She
could also always be found as steady and faithful crew for the infamous Duck Dodge races of South Lake
Union!

The wind and the sea continued to call on RJ too, and he found himself as crew on some pretty slick
racing sailboats. Again however, the warmer wind and waters of the Caribbean continued to call; this
time, literally...

RJ’s original sailing instructor, from many years earlier in Seattle, was on the other end of that phone
call. He had established a sailing school in Grenada and, through social media, had seen that RJ was back
in the Puget Sound sailing.

“Have you ever thought about teaching sailing?” he said through the phone. “I think you’d be great at
it.” He added.

RJ laughed at first, “Man, I’m still out here learning to sail!”

His response was all RJ needed to hear: “RJ, there is no better way to learn than to teach.”
And with that, the next chapter of sailing began. RJ diligently acquired all the proper certifications
through the US Coast Guard and the American Sailing Association and began to teach sailing at Seattle
Sailing Club. What a blast! RJ absolutely found a calling. This is also when he met his beautiful wife,
Jenna. She was a lighthearted beer can racing sailor when they met and she was fascinated with his
plans to live a Caribbean sailing life. He was going and he hoped she would visit, often.

After about 6 months from that first important phone call, RJ moved himself to Grenada. Sight unseen
prior to arrival, he immediately fell in love with Grenada and The Grenadines. How can you not? They
are the friendliest people in the Caribbean; hands down. And beauty was everywhere! What a place.
“Work” was teaching term charter sailing and exploring all the amazing little spots along the way. Oh
what fun this job is! Teaching people who are so excited and switched on to learn how to captain a boat
for themselves. Many students planned to charter boats with their family and friends, some just wanted
to see what it was all about by testing their will (and stomachs) and still others came to learn how to sail
off into retirement, literally.

Jenna continued to join the Grenada adventure. At first as an ASA student herself. She kept coming back
to join RJ on more adventures and for more sailing. Their combined passion for sailing has only been
surpassed by their love for each other. The more they sailed, the more obvious it became that this was
to be their wonderful and adventure filled life together. Teaching became a calling for them both and
they began to charter private couple’s cruising instruction. Does it get any better than that?! Working
with your love and teaching other couples with similar dreams to yours how to make it into a reality! It
has been truly amazing. Just ask them and you will get the fully animated version... they don’t tell short
stories... Haha, what fun would that be?!

5 years later; RJ married the beautiful Jenna. They’ve sailed over 20,000 nautical miles together. Over
300 ASA students graduated. 2 Outstanding ASA Instructor of the Year awards. 100’s of new friends and
lifetimes of memories. Life has been good to say the least.

It’s not always sailing for these two... whenever possible, Jenna and RJ enjoy scuba diving, kiteboarding,
hiking and traveling together. Stateside, RJ laces up the skates whenever he can smell an ice rink and
Jenna gets all giddy when she can strap on the crampons and climb to the tallest mountain. Family and
friends are always in the mix everywhere they go.

So now it is time to make some more new friends and show you all the beauty that the Virgin Islands
have to offer.

Location Details: *** DELANA MAE WILL BE AVAILBLE UPON REQUEST IN JUNE & JULY OF 2026 IN GRENADA, ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES ***

St. Vincent to Grenada 2024/2025 Sample Itinerary
(a brief rundown of the itinerary we recommend and are most likely to follow if all conditions allow):

Guests fly into St. Vincent, Argyle International Airport (SVD), suggested 1+ days before charter start. Same day is possible for a sleep aboard. Onboarding is preferred to take place on the island of Bequia. Bequia is about a 60min ferry ride from the southern port of Kingstown on mainland St. Vincent. Depending upon how well the airline arrival lines up, it would be best to ferry to Bequia and either plan a sleep aboard Delana Mae or organize to stay at The Plantation hotel (our recommended hotel). There are several other AirBnB type accommodations available as well you can find on the internet. If the flights do not line up easily for the ferry the day of arrival, I would recommend rooms at Blue Lagoon Marina on the southern coast of mainland St. Vincent. From there the ferry can be taken in the morning From Kingstown to Bequia to meet and onboard Delana Mae. From there we start our adventures south! We have 7 nights to choose anchorages including the final night aboard in Grenada.

1. Bequia. One night in Bequia is great whether it be in a hotel or sleep aboard. Any extra time in Bequia is fun and allows us to explore the cute town, unique hand made model boat museum and even the turtle rescue sanctuary, Old Hague.
2. Lunch on the island of Canoaun at Sandy Lane Yacht Club. Quite possibly the nicest marina in all of the Caribbean… and we love to do a “boujee” lunch ashore here. It’s not pricey, but it is very beautiful and delicious.
Overnight in Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau. THIS is Jenna and I’s favorite beach on the planet. It will also be the location of our wedding in August 2025! There is so much to see on this quaint little island (lobster beach BBQ’s and/or rum punches at Last Bar Before The Jungle, a tiny little Catholic Church with the biggest Caribbean view, and the nicest rasta you’ll ever meet, Robert Righteous).
3. The Tobago Cays. Of our favorite places in the Grenadines, if the coin had Mayreau on one side… this would be on the other side! 5 uninhabited islands, 1 sea turtle sanctuary to snorkel, short little hikes with iguanas and tortoises and an incredible beach BBQ right on the sandy shore. Oh, and “why is the rum gone?” Petit Tabac is the island they filmed that famous scene from Pirates Of the Caribbean on!
4. Union Island, Clifton Harbor. Fancy taking a kiteboarding lesson?! This is the spot. Or, if watching the pros on display is better, then we grab a seat on Happy Island and sip rum punches on the manmade island, built from conch shells and sack concrete… an amazing place in the world to be for sundowners.
5. Union island, Chatham Bay. If you love the remoteness of the southern Caribbean, then this is another wonderful and beautiful bay to enjoy. Perfect for our eFoil board and all the snorkeling you can handle. Maybe we’ll have a little bonfire on the beach and there is always the option for more lobster beach BBQ!
6. Carriacou, Anse La Roche, Grenada. Paradise perfected. If we only do one beach BBQ dinner ashore, this is the one. Our good friend Tim puts on the best and most beautiful, rustic beach dinner spread you can imagine, after a snorkel around the pristine Sandy Cay of course.
7. St. George’s, Grenada. We’ve made it to the other beautiful end, time to celebrate! We can stay anchored out or pull in and have ourselves a docktail party at our final destination of Port Louis Marina. :)
After that last night of charter, you could add a sleep aboard night or if you want to stay on the beach at one of the many nice hotels Grenada has to offer on Grand Anse Beach, then we can arrange some island exploring (Volcano lake Grand Etang, mona monkeys, waterfalls, chocolate and rum factories too). We totally understand if you have to get on that plane ASAP… but we already know you won’t want to!
We can even get to Grenada a night sooner if you want to be sure to make an island tour happen before you fly out. There are lots of easy options to swap around when you are here.

Domande & risposte

Come funziona il contratto di charter?

Il contratto viene stipulato direttamente tra l’Armatore e il Cliente, con il supporto del broker. Si basa normalmente sul modello contrattuale internazionale MYBA, concepito per garantire tutele chiare e bilanciate a entrambe le parti.

È inoltre prevista la figura dello Stakeholder, responsabile della custodia sicura dei fondi fino alla conclusione del charter.

Cosa è incluso nella tariffa del charter?

La tariffa base comprende il noleggio dell’imbarcazione, l’utilizzo delle dotazioni di bordo, la presenza dell’equipaggio e la relativa copertura assicurativa.
Restano escluse le spese operative come carburante, cambusa, porti, bevande e attività aggiuntive, che vengono gestite tramite APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

L’elenco preciso di ciò che è incluso o escluso sarà confermato al momento della selezione dello yacht.

Cos’è l’APA e come funziona?

L’APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) è un fondo anticipato, di norma pari al 25–35% del canone di charter, destinato alla copertura delle spese operative: carburante, provisioning, porti, attività a pagamento, bevande e richieste personalizzate degli ospiti.

Al termine della crociera, il Comandante fornisce un rendiconto dettagliato delle uscite. Eventuali importi non utilizzati vengono rimborsati al cliente, mentre eventuali eccedenze vengono regolate direttamente al momento della chiusura del charter.

Quali sono le modalità di pagamento?

Alla firma del contratto è previsto il versamento del 50% dell’importo totale.
Il saldo, comprensivo di APA, tasse e eventuali oneri aggiuntivi, viene richiesto circa cinque settimane prima dell’imbarco. (a seconda dell'armatore)
I pagamenti vengono effettuati tramite bonifico bancario, che rappresenta lo standard operativo nel settore del charter di lusso.

Posso annullare una prenotazione?

Sì, è possibile cancellare, ma si applicano le clausole previste dal contratto.
In linea generale, in caso di rinuncia da parte del cliente, l’Armatore trattiene i depositi già versati.

Qualora l’imbarcazione venga riaffittata per lo stesso periodo, l’Armatore rimborsa l’importo recuperato, al netto delle relative commissioni.

Ogni richiesta di cancellazione viene gestita con la massima trasparenza. Ulteriori dettagli sulle politiche applicate sono disponibili contattandoci direttamente.

Come individuare lo yacht più adatto alle mie esigenze?

La scelta dipende principalmente dal tipo di esperienza che desideri vivere:

Motor yacht per il massimo comfort, grande stabilità e trasferimenti rapidi.
Sailing yacht per un’esperienza autentica, silenziosa e legata alla tradizione della navigazione.
Catamarano per ampi spazi, stabilità superiore e maggiore privacy.

BeBlue analizza destinazione, numero di ospiti, preferenze personali e budget, selezionando per te la soluzione più adatta.

Quanto tempo prima è consigliabile prenotare?

Per l’alta stagione (Mediterraneo: giugno–settembre; Caraibi: dicembre–aprile) è consigliabile prenotare con diversi mesi di anticipo, così da assicurarsi le migliori opzioni disponibili.
Gestiamo comunque anche richieste last-minute, compatibilmente con disponibilità e requisiti di licenza.

È possibile personalizzare menu, preferenze e attività?

Certamente, prima della partenza riceverai un Preference Sheet in cui potrai indicare gusti, esigenze alimentari, allergie, preferenze per bevande e attività che desideri svolgere.
Lo Chef e il Comandante utilizzeranno queste informazioni per costruire un’esperienza completamente su misura.

Quante persone possono essere ospitate a bordo?

La maggior parte delle imbarcazioni può accogliere da 6 a 12 ospiti, a seconda della configurazione interna.
Alcuni superyacht oltre gli 80 metri, conformi alle certificazioni internazionali, possono ospitare fino a 36 persone.

Sarò connesso a Internet durante il charter?

La maggior parte delle imbarcazioni offre connessione Wi-Fi a bordo, tramite rete mobile o sistemi satellitari. La qualità e la velocità del servizio possono variare in base all’area di navigazione e alla tecnologia installata.

È previsto lasciare una mancia all’equipaggio?

La mancia non è obbligatoria, ma rappresenta una consuetudine consolidata per esprimere apprezzamento al lavoro della crew.
Le linee guida internazionali indicano come riferimento un importo pari al 10–15% del canone base.

Perché affidarsi a BeBlue?

BeBlue è specializzato nelle vacanze in barca e, in qualità di mediatori marittimi e tour operator regolarmente titolati, garantisce:

accesso all’intera flotta globale
totale trasparenza sui costi
supporto contrattuale e logistico
gestione personalizzata delle preferenze e degli imprevisti
elevati standard di tutela e sicurezza

È il modo più semplice, sicuro ed efficiente per vivere un’esperienza di charter di livello.

Posso richiedere un’assistenza dedicata per il mio charter?

Ogni charter è unico. Per ricevere una selezione di yacht su misura, un preventivo chiaro e un supporto personalizzato nella pianificazione del tuo viaggio, ti invitiamo a contattarci direttamente. Il nostro team ti accompagnerà con attenzione in ogni fase dell’esperienza.
