CAPTAIN RYAN

CHEF PAULA (NOV – MAR)

Bio coming soon

CHEF BREE (APR – JUL)

Abrye (Bree) – Entertaining is her absolute forte, and she finds it such a privilege to nurture & nourish others through food – especially in a place as beautiful as the Caribbean! She has a lifetime of passionate hosting experience and a decade of advertising strategy & client services under her belt, but I found her bliss when she started hosting yacht charters professionally three years ago. Her solution-oriented attitude, strong work ethic & mouthwatering cuisine helped her build a strong reputation for herself within the yacht holiday community. After her first season on the water, she was invited to join her company’s leadership team and brought on as a Host Instructor for their training academy, where those adventures took her from New Zealand to Croatia, Greece, BVI, Italy & Sweden.

When she’s not feeding families & friends on the sea, she helps curate and executes creative & wellness-based retreats on land. With more free time in 2020, she used the opportunity to level up her interest in food and flavors by pairing them with a greater knowledge of nutrition, Ayurvedic principles & general well-being. Her guests can feel their best by eating fresh, wholesome food with meal plans that are mindfully curated and beautifully prepared.

Great Trip!

This vacation exceeded all of our expectations. The crew were absolutely over the top exceptional. Every part of the trip was great. The food and the presentation was incredible. Very personable crew that soooo... great--they made the trip. Thank you very much for a great trip.

Roomy Enough For 10

The crew were fabulous. They exuded warmth and friendliness and made all of us feel most welcome onboard. We fell in love with them! We felt completely at ease with both crew members. It was readily apparent they knew what they were doing. Considering there were 10 guests and just two crew members, the service was outstanding. They worked tirelessly to insure we never lacked for anything. They were unfailingly pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful. The chef served so many delicious and varied meals (and oh, so much food) that our eyes popped – shortly before our stomachs! Everything was delicious. Barefeet Retreat had a large mat it put out behind the boat which the kids loved. The captain took them tubing on two occasions and they snorkeled throughout the trip. The noodles were most welcomed by the adults. Shaun and Hayden also used the paddleboard on a couple of occasions. Mary even rode the tube once. Our satisfaction was High, high, high. The catamaran was roomy enough for 10 and I can vouch for the ample size of our shower. Everything on board was quite comfortable.

Bucket List Trip

Thank you so much for making our first charter boat trip and first trip to the Virgin Islands so awesome! We enjoyed relaxing in the sun, swimming in the beautiful blue waters, the great food and cocktails! We appreciate your gracious hospitality and knowledge of the islands. This was a bucket list item for us, and it was wonderful! The magic tricks and playing “cards against humanity” with you was a bonus!

6 Stars If We Could

If I could give this outfit 6 stars, I would. Highlight of our adventure. The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable. Created lasting memories for my children. Thank you so much. I cannot speak highly enough of their ability to maneuver the boat and knowledge and pure enthusiasm for the marine world. Very friendly, welcoming and did all they could to make the experience enjoyable.

They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best vacation from the incredible food to their unique knowledge of the islands, they made us feel right at home. We cant wait to come back!

Ready To Book Again!

Our stay was beyond comfortable because the crew exceeded all our expectations and truly brought our preferences to life! With children on board, we were amazed at the endless activities and constant attention that they provided to help us feel at home. The captain amazed us with her skill and knowledge, but also was warm and patient with our gang. And, the chef is a ray of sunshine! She prepared five star meals for every seating and amazed us with daily cocktails of the day and delicious desserts! The crew duo serving Barefeet Retreat are so warm and caring that you’ll leave with 2 new family members! And, the boat was kept immaculate and stocked with water toys. We are ready to book again!

11 Out Of 10

The crew were spectacular. 11 out of ten in every category. We changed our vacation plans for a trip later in the year just to join them in Barefeet Retreat again!

Great Family Experience for Chrismtmas

For Christmas my wife and I decided we wanted to do something different. We wanted to have an experience with the family and travel someplace we hadn’t before. We booked our trip 11 months prior to departure. Booking so far in advance gave us a lot of time to anticipate and prepare for our vacation. I was afraid with so much time before our trip we might set our expectations too high and perhaps could be easily disappointed. I can assure anyone who is reading this that that was not the case. The crew were friendly, incredible knowledgeable of both the islands and their yacht, very attentive hosts, and most importantly became very good friends to our whole family by the weeks end. The captain knew all of the best spots to snorkel, lobster, and fish. He also knew all of the beautiful, quiet coves away from the crowds where we would anchor and enjoy our evenings. The chef spoiled us with her amazing cooking of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We enjoyed taking photos of every meal as they were prepared like you would see on TV. One of the highlights was when we anchored at Cooper Island and enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Day meal on the together with a night cap at the Rum bar before heading back to the boat. We can’t recommend this boat & crew, enough. If you want to try something different, see some of the most beautiful places in the Caribbean, and make some new lifelong friends then this is certainly a trip you should consider.

Top Vacations Ever

My wife and I just ended a 7 day sail/trip with three other couples that sailed around St. Thomas, St. John and several of the British Virgin Islands. This experience was one of our top vacations ever. The crew made us feel comfortable and "at home" immediately. What amazed me the most was how this crew could accommodate everyone's needs and desires. For example, I love to fish and while I knew this was not a fishing excursion, the captain got me on a beautiful King Mackerel on our first day of sailing. I continued to catch fish throughout the trip. Others in our party wanted to snorkel, hike, "see the sights," explore spots on land, etc. and the crew were able to do everything they wanted to do. No one was ever left out - everyone was happy engaging in their desired choices. The captain continued to tell us "If you want to do anything, just tell me and we can probably do it." I did not think it would be possible at first but the crew did it and made it look easy. The captain invited several of us to watch him free dive for lobster in The USVI, which was an unbelievable sight to behold, not to mention a delicious lunch with his catch. I do not exaggerate when I say that the captain is capable of doing just about anything and doing it well. He can fix anything that is broken and solve any issue, big or small, that arises at sea. And, he does it with ease, calm and professionalism. You will not find a more professional yacht captain. Food is normally not something important to me but the chef changed all that. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner she prepared was magnificent and normally done from scratch. Her constant smiling face and friendly demeanor further electrified our experience. Not that we spent a lot of time there, but the sleeping quarters were very roomy, clean and comfortable. Lori and I will be following and joining this crew again wherever they go, whatever vessel they will be on and/or whatever outdoor experience they undertake. The yacht was a beautiful boat but it was the crew that made the experience so memorable!
