MEET YOUR CREW - Captain Chris Stubbs and Captain/Chef Kaya Carrion

Chris has been sailing since he was a small child growing up surrounded by the barrier islands and marshes of the Carolinas. His first jobs were teaching sailing and then crewing larger monohulls which led to several months aboard a 120’ schooner in New Zealand at 18. At the College of Charleston, he doubled in Anthropology and Geology with a minor in Archeology while first working as a Divemaster and Aquarium Diver, and then later joining the scientific and marine crews aboard oceanographic research vessels. Chris continued working aboard research and survey vessels through grad school while completing his Masters in Geology at UCSB. In this time, he made the first maps of tens of thousands of seafloor methane seeps in offshore California, the Gulf of Mexico, and Siberia. He also began taking friends on epic bareboat sailing adventures in the Channel Islands while advancing his scuba background and exploring his new obsession of kitesurfing.

Following grad school, he continued working in the marine geophysical survey and oceanography industries beginning in Antarctica. In 2013, he established his own freelance consulting business, and to date has worked in all the world's oceans and continents while maintaining an excellent offshore safety record. A passionate maritime tour guide, Chris holds a 100-ton USCG Master Captain license and loves introducing his charter guests to the wonders of the Virgin Islands. A life-long extrovert, Chris loves meeting people from all walks of life and sharing stories. He spends his free time traveling, kitesurfing/foiling, trying to break out of the beginner ranks of free diving and wing foiling, and playing in the ocean with his wife Kaya.

Kaya was born and raised in Puerto Rico. She spent her life fishing, crewing, and living aboard boats traversing the British, US, and Spanish Virgin Islands, particularly Culebra Island where her family vacation home was located. Kaya was introduced into the world of scientific SCUBA diving at Florida International University where she obtained her Bachelor's degree and worked in a seagrass ecology lab. Kaya graduated summa cum laude, with undergraduate research experience, and membership into Phi Beta Kappa honor society. Her marine biology career continued soon after in the Virgin Islands, where she completed her Master's degree and expanded her diving experience, becoming a certified technical diver with TDI advanced nitrox and decompression diving.

More recently, Kaya’s marine science career focuses on tropical coral and fish ecology. Her diving experiences have been incredibly unique with hundreds of scientific dives completing surveys for coral health, coral reef fishes, lobster, and more. Kaya is also a highly skilled captain and holds a USCG 100-ton Master license. Apart from her ocean experiences, Kaya is fully bilingual and grew up in a family of passionate foodies including several professional chefs. Her food passion started with Puerto Rican cuisine, but grew after traveling the world where she learned and became passionate about authentic foods from Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico, Italy, Japan, Greece, Peru, South Korea, Morocco, and many other countries, cooking and learning from locals at homestays throughout her multiple backpacking journeys. Kaya can provide signature dishes from many regions of the world and cater to a broad array of pallets.

Kaya and Chris met on a marine science job in Culebra, PR in 2015 and were soon spending every free moment together. After the job, Chris followed Kaya first around Puerto Rico, and then began visiting her between jobs. Conspiring with her sisters, Chris surprised Kaya during a visit to see family in Ireland when she finally agreed to be his girlfriend. They have since crossed the US via campervan, traveled through dozens of countries, and lived in CA, FL, PR, and the USVI together. They have made a point of taking regional cooking classes as they have traveled the world, and take pride in being adventurous eaters. They are both passionate marine scientists with teaching experience at the university level, and love introducing their guests to the wonders of the ocean world. Their combined skills and experience offer travelers a broad array of options for indulging in all aspects of life at sea. They specialize in the BVI, USVI, and Spanish VI where Kaya grew up cruising and they both know intimately. Chris and Kaya got engaged on a trip to Australia in 2022 and celebrated their wedding in June 2024.

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
