This was by far the best trip I have ever been on. Tyler was a very professional captain and he did a lot for us throughout the whole trip. I am very grateful that I got to experience this trip, and I truly appreciate all the hard work he put in to make it an amazing experience for everyone. I would highly recommend booking with Tyler to anyone who is looking for an unforgettable trip.

Typing this on the way to the airport so it’s a little emotional. Captain Tyler made this trip truly unforgettable. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. No matter what we wanted to do or see around the U.S. Virgin Islands, he always found a way to make it happen. His knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude made the entire experience seamless and memorable. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Got to do my first backflip which was awesome btw thanks to Captain tyler.
The best time and looking forward to doing this again.

I don’t even know where to start. I’m currently typing this with watery eyes because my experience on the Blackfish was truly like no other. The one and only Captain Tyler made this experience unforgettable. A true professional, a true captain he knew exactly what he was doing every second out there. I always felt safe, comfortable, and taken care of, and he even taught me the ways along the journey.
If there were a Michael Jordan of sailing, it would be Tyler.
My girlfriend literally had to drag me off the boat because I genuinely did not want to leave. The Blackfish and Captain Tyler will forever hold a special place in my heart. Without a doubt, he is the greatest of all time.
This isn’t goodbye… it’s just a “see you later.”

Our family just returned from an unforgettable charter with Paradise Yacht Management, and it was truly the greatest family trip we have ever been on. The entire experience exceeded every expectation, from the yacht itself to the professionalism and hospitality of our captain.
A huge shoutout to Captain Tyler Haley — hands down the greatest captain in the fleet! Tyler made the trip absolutely seamless, safe, fun, and relaxing from start to finish. His knowledge of the islands, attention to detail, and genuine care for our family made all the difference. He knew exactly where to take us for incredible snorkeling, beautiful beaches, amazing food, and unforgettable memories. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in every part of the experience.
The BlackFisk yacht was phenomenal — comfortable, and perfect for our family adventure. Every day felt like something out of a dream.
If you are considering a chartered vacation, I cannot recommend Paradise Yacht Management, Captain Tyler Haley, and the BlackFisk yacht highly enough. This was a bucket-list experience for our family, and one we will talk about for years to come.

We spent an incredible week aboard the Blackfisk exploring the British Virgin Islands with Captain Tyler, and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Our family included four adults and two kids, and Captain Tyler was amazing from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and always willing to help make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. His attention to detail and relaxed approach made the trip enjoyable for both the adults and the children.
Over the course of the week, we visited multiple islands throughout the BVI, each offering its own unique beauty and charm. The crystal clear water, stunning beaches, and unforgettable scenery exceeded all of our expectations. Every day brought a new adventure, whether we were swimming, exploring, or simply taking in the breathtaking views from the boat. The sunsets were absolutely spectacular and provided some of the most memorable moments of the trip.
This journey created memories that our family will cherish forever. The combination of beautiful destinations, perfect water conditions, and the exceptional experience aboard the Blackfisk made for an unforgettable vacation. We cannot recommend Captain Tyler and the Blackfisk highly enough for anyone looking to experience the beauty of the British Virgin Islands in a truly special way.
