May 2026 BVI Charter
There are vacations… and then there are experiences that completely change you as a person. What we experienced with Hazel and Yaya was not simply a charter, a getaway, or even a luxury trip. It was one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences of our lives, and I truly believe a piece of our hearts will always remain on that boat with them.
From the moment we stepped onboard, Hazel had this incredible presence about him. Calm, confident, genuine, thoughtful—someone who instantly makes you feel safe, taken care of, and completely at ease. What amazed us most about Hazel was how effortlessly he made every single day feel perfectly tailored to us. He somehow knew exactly when we wanted adventure, when we wanted to relax, when we wanted to explore, when we wanted quiet moments together, and when we wanted to laugh until our stomachs hurt. Exploring the islands with Hazel leading the way felt like seeing the world through the eyes of someone who truly loves what he does. Every route, every stop, every experience felt intentional. He didn’t just captain a yacht—Hazel created memories that will stay with us forever.
And then there is Yaya...
I genuinely don’t know if words can do Yaya justice.
I can say, without a single ounce of exaggeration, that Yaya prepared the best food I have ever had in my entire life. Not “best food on a boat.” Not “best vacation food.” The best food... period. Breakfast, lunch, dinner—every single meal somehow topped the last. We would finish a meal and think, there’s no way it gets better than this... and then somehow Yaya would do it again.
But what made Yaya so special wasn’t just her talent in the kitchen—it was the love behind everything she created. You could feel it in every bite. Every plate felt thoughtful, personal, beautiful, and unforgettable. She completely changed how I think about food. She reminded me that food is not just something you eat—it’s something that brings people together, creates emotion, and tells a story. And Yaya told one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever experienced.
The yacht itself was absolutely incredible. There were five of us—my mother, my mother-in-law, my husband, my best friend, and myself—and somehow it felt like we had endless space. Everyone had room to relax, recharge, connect, and have their own moments while still sharing this unbelievable experience together.
But if I’m being honest... the yacht, the islands, the views, the luxury—all of that was only part of what made this so extraordinary.
The real magic was Hazel and Yaya.
Somewhere during this trip, they stopped feeling like crew and started feeling like family. Saying goodbye to Hazel and Yaya at the end was genuinely emotional. There were tears. There were hugs. And there was this overwhelming feeling that something incredibly special had just happened to all of us.
There is truly no dollar amount in this world that can buy the kind of memories, connection, growth, and perspective that Hazel and Yaya gave our family. This wasn’t just a vacation. This was life changing.
This trip changed how I see the world. It changed how I value time with the people I love. It changed how I think about food, adventure, and being present in the moment.
And the hardest part of all... was leaving Hazel and Yaya.
We are all heartbroken that it’s over, but one thing is certain...
We will be back for Hazel and Yaya. And until then, we’ll be talking about this experience for the rest of our lives.
Past Reviews Jason and Sydney
We just returned from an incredible week aboard Breathe with Captain Jason and Sydney in the BVI, and I felt it was important to share just how exceptional these two are. We’ve been on many cruises with different crew, but Jason and Sydney stand far above the rest; they are simply second to none.
Their professionalism, maturity, and attention to every detail were unmatched. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone on board had an amazing time. Even with some unpredictable weather, they navigated perfectly and found the ideal balance between adventure, comfort, and relaxation. Every stop was incredible, and every day felt effortless under their care.
Jason and Sydney represent the very best of what the industry offers, and they made this our most enjoyable charter yet. We’re already booked to return to the BVI and assume they will be our crew again.
Thanks,
Christian
Jason & Sydney
Wow. I am so very grateful that we met. Thankful for your hospitality and to the chance to learn from you. Thank you for all you both did for us all. It was an honour to be part of the journey. Sydney, I will take with me your stories from south Africa, dogs and beer bread! Jason, I will take with me your ability to show me the freedom behind sailing and the power behind a pitcher of frozen cocktails.
With love and gratitude

Jason & Sydney
You’re marvelous!
It took 10 of these sails to find a captain and 1st mate that were as great as you two! You guys smashed expectations and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a better holiday. Thank you both so much for a wonderful week in the BVIs.
