NYE 2025 BVI Charter

Dear Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you so much for the most amazing week in the BVI’s. Our family had the BEST time! We would love to host you if you ever come to New Orleans!


The food was amazing!! We can’t wait to buy your cookbook — we will still lick the plates. Thank you so much for carefully curating our itinerary and getting us to all the best spots!!


Being on ScubaDoo was the perfect way to usher in the New Year. I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us if this is how it starts.



Hazel was so patient with us while scuba diving and so kind to pull everyone in on the dinghy.


We so appreciate your amazing hospitality and all your kindness


Lots of love,

Julie, Lance, Jake, Caitlin & Charlotte

You guys made this ship feel like home, and I couldn’t have imagined a better crew!! Y’all are the best bartenders, DJs, divemasters, guides, and multitaskers.

Caitlin

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.
