Christmas 2025 BVI Charter
Mirones Family Christmas 2025!
Thank you Bluewinds - Travis and Peta - for making our holiday fantastic!!
We are grateful!
NYE 2025 BVI Charter
As I looked to charter a boat for the family, I was drawn to Bluewinds, why? I had no idea, but I trusted it was the right choice. At the end of this trip I know Bluewinds was not just a bridge to meet the most caring, fun, and loving crew. Captain Travis and Chef Peta, you are both AMAZING and we are so grateful to both of you.
Thank you!

December 2023 BVI Charter
Kyle and Tilly,
Thank you, we could not have asked for a more beautiful week! It was such a joy sailing with you. Everything was perfect from the boat and amenities, the amazing meals and presentations, desserts, table decor, amd wine pairings, the boat drinks, and cocktails. Every suggestion you made from coves to stay in at night, hikes, excursions to Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock, Soggy Dollar was incredibly fun. We are also thankful for you helping us gather with our friends onboard another boat! You also made our diving experience amazing!
We especially enjoyed you! You are an amazing crew, team and couple. Playing cards, star gazing with music and getting to know you is a special memory. We wish you joy and the best for the future.
With many thanks,
Megan, Rick, Elias, Alaina

Comment: Kyle and Tilly went above and beyond to make this a fun vacation. The food was excellent, and Tilly was an amazing chef. I have celiac disease, and she was very careful to make sure I had a gluten free meal every time. I never felt like everyone else was getting the good food, and I wasn't. The boat was SUPER clean,
and they kept it that way all week. Thanks guys for a wonderful week!

Comment: Kyle and Tilly were ever so accommodating, fun and pleasant to be around. They met our every request and did much for us that we did not ask for. Would love to sail with them again. They were delightful and worked so well together. I've been on several sailing trips and they rate right there at the top of any captain and mate we've had.

Comment: What a great trip!! My first catamaran and adventure with TRADEWINDS. It exceeded my expectations. The sights were amazing but the crew made it an outstanding week! So thankful we had Kyle,
Tilly and Johann taking care of us for the week. A great team that clearly loves sharing their home, Sweet Pea, and passion for all sights and experiences the BVI’s have to offer. The service, food and cocktails were exceptional! Could not have asked for anything better!! Thank you for a week I will never forget and will always appreciate!!

Aboard Sweet Pea on the 11 Mar 2023 in BVI with Kyle and Tilly.
Comment: Our crew was outstanding! Captain Kyle and First Mate Tilly make an amazing team and should be a model for Tradewinds. TW should do everything they can to keep such a wonderful couple happy and prospering in their careers. Kyle is such a skillful captain, keeps the boat in the very best shape that he can.. Kyle and Tilly take such pride in keeping the TW boat in as tip top shape as they possibly can themselves. It is clean, organized and neat and the whole crew pitches in to keep it that way. Tilly’s skills in delivering delicious and beautifully presented food is top notch! She and Kyle are skilled in both their professional duties and in delivering outstanding customer experiences. Could not ask for a better crew!

Comment: First time with Tradewinds and the entire trip was perfect. We were guests of the owner of S/Y Sweet Pea, and had a wonderful time with our group. I can’t say enough nice things about the crew Tilly and Kyle. Both of them exceeded our expectations at every turn. You can tell they genuinely love what they are doing. Only problem was that I gained weight because of the great food Tilly made us. So good!

January 2026 BVI Charter
Kyle & Tilly –
What a special week you gave us! While this was our 4th sail to the BVI, You made it feel like a first, with new stops on the islands! Your service and care of us was top-notch and greatly appreciated. Please come visit us in Dysartum, PA and we can’t wait to host another charter with you both!
Slainté,
Kim & Joseph Jacobson
Dear Kyle & Tilly,
Thank you both so very much for the most incredible charter through the BVI’s. Every single detail was perfect! It truly was an experience our family will treasure forever.
I especially want to thank you for giving Emma & David such a fantastic first sailing experience. You made them feel so relaxed, and cared for, and that meant more to me than I can say.
Tilly, your cooking was absolutely extraordinary. Every meal was thoughtful, beautiful and delicious, and you went so far above and beyond anything we could have expected. The afternoon tea was a special and memorable touch — truly appreciated…
Kyle, you really rocked it this week. Thank you for your steady hands, joyful and fun personality and throwing the guy’s asses way into the air. Hands down best captain on the water. You my friend took this trip to another level for us - thank you!
With our sincerest thanks for an unforgettable week, warmly, Jena
February 2026 BVI Charter
Kyle & Tilly were just amazing. WAY, WAY beyond what we imagined. They both were professional, knew exactly what they were doing, and made outstanding efforts to exceed our expectations every day. We had 3 nice hikes – one at Little JVD and two in St. John. We skipped Coral Bay & had a beautiful anchorage in Ram Head bay with only one other boat. The meals that Tilly prepared were inventive and spectacular every time. We don’t know how she does it. Kyle brought out his drone & gave us some great pictures while we were underway. We had a nice sail to Great St. James and had take-out from floating “Pizza Pi” in the bay on the last night. Bluewinds was very comfortable.
