From the moment we stepped aboard Okeana, our expectations were exceeded. The yacht made an amazing first impression, and everything that followed lived up to it.

The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for—cozy, comfortable cabins and well-appointed bathrooms. The deck, salon, and cockpit offered plenty of lounging space, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the views. The yacht was kept impeccably clean throughout the charter, and we never found ourselves missing a thing—there were more toys, games, food, and drinks than we could’ve asked for, plus endless water activities and snorkeling.

The crew truly made the experience unforgettable. Captain Dal was professional, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. He made sure we were always informed, offered flexible options for the itinerary, and even joined us for a few snorkeling excursions, pointing out highlights along the way.

Chef Eden was nothing short of outstanding. Every meal was beautifully presented, with plenty of variety and attention to dietary needs—including gluten-free options with every dish. We were treated to an incredible culinary experience three times a day, and never once felt the need to snack between meals.

The itinerary was perfect for our first charter—thoughtfully curated with input from the whole group. A special highlight was an island adventure added to celebrate our daughter’s engagement, which meant so much to us.

Overall, the crew created a warm, welcoming atmosphere in close quarters, always attentive to our comfort and enjoyment. We’ve already recommended the experience to friends, and would absolutely sail again.

Thank you for a memorable and seamless charter aboard Okeana!

I just returned from a week-long BVI charter with a group of seven friends on "Okeana" with Captain Dal Flynn and Chef Anna Vann. I just wanted to give credit to our wonderful crew. Both Dal and Anna were top notch and the best overall team I have had the pleasure of sailing with in the four charters I have booked.

Dal was a perfect blend of professionalism and personality. His witty sense of humor was perfect for our group and set the tone for a relaxed and fun week. The boat was very well maintained, and it was clear Dal takes pride in its upkeep and operation. He was also very accommodating, often looking up drink recipes to suit our tastes and requests, as well as adjusting the itinerary so we could meet up with a friend who was scheduled to be in the area. That flexibility led us to experience a site we had not been to on previous charters, and gave us one of the most enjoyable sailing days of the trip (in my opinion.) 

Anna is not only a great Chef, she also takes a lot of pride in the presentation. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted great. She has a sweet, easy going personality and I loved hearing about her sailing history around the world. We so appreciated how hard she worked and commented more than once that she was constantly making us something tasty to eat. 

Our group felt so comfortable and well cared for the entire trip, and Dal and Anna's working relationship was notably relaxed and without tension, which I cannot say for all of our previous crews. Their teamwork, professionalism, and warm personalities made the week extra special. While I know it is unlikely we could get them as a team again, we would book them in a heartbeat if we could and hope to sail with one or both on a future charter.

Sincerely,

B. Wilson

"Dal, who took such good care of us throughout our stay. Both Anna and he have been very kind during the entire trip, thinking of every detail to make sure we felt comfortable (which we truly did). 

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Dal and Anna for the wonderful week we had, it couldn’t have been any better! We had the best captain and the best chef in the world! And Dal was by far the best dive master."

•⁠ ⁠R, G & Family - 9th February 2026

Our family had the trip of a lifetime aboard the Okeana in June 2026. Captain Dal and Chef Anna were critical to the joyous experience. Together they planned an ideal itinerary and menu. 

Captain Dal is fun, kind, calm, capable, flexible and assertive all at the same time. We never had an issue with the catamaran or the smoothness of the sail. He attended to any minor issue immediately and effectively. He also was a fabulous bartender! We would love to have him as our captain on another voyage and truly hope that will happen. We felt so safe on the yacht as well as in the water snorkeling, and in every port. 

Chef Anna is talented, clean, smiley, healthy, happy, and timely. She prepared delicious, hearty, and very healthy meals 3x per day and we never felt hungry. It was so relaxing to have her plan everything, and all we had to do was eat and drink!  We hope to benefit from her talents again someday. 

My family and I sailed on Okeana 7/19-7/24.

I wanted to write and say what a wonderful time we had and how amazing our crew was - captain Dal and first mate Ana.

The sailing and sights were awesome with Dal providing interesting information and guidance along the way. Meanwhile Ana kept us fed with incredible food !

We truly had an amazing time.

Thank you.
