| Book your vacation with an award-winning yacht! Mystic is the 2nd place winner of the Culinary Competition at the 2023 VIPCA Show and Winner of the 2024 Table Setting Competition at the 2024 VIPCA Show! The Bali 5.4 is a “Multihull of the Year” award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Mystic. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Mystic will accommodate 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling master cabin for those who desire more space. She is a brand new 2023 sailing catamaran with teak on the aft yacht, hydraulic lift, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Mystic giveaways. |

With a remarkable achievement of crossing the Atlantic Ocean, Colben has cemented his status as an experienced sailor. Driven by a desire for adventure, he embarked on an unforgettable two-year journey, sailing around South America and the Caribbean on their personal yacht. This experience not only broadened their horizons but also deepened his connection to the ocean and the diverse cultures encountered along the way.
An avid fisherman, Colben finds joy in the thrill of the catch and the tranquility of the open waters.

For several years, Teagan sailed between the picturesque shores of South America and the Caribbean, immersing in diverse cultures and savoring the culinary delights of each destination. Believing that good food is a crucial part of any vacation, Teagan looks forward to sharing these delightful culinary experiences with others, ensuring that every meal is a memorable part of the journey.

Charter Yacht MYSTIC Guest Reviews
November 2021
Hey Rob and Belinda, We cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful experience! I honestly do not have the words to say what you two did for me personally. You were so kind to show me the ropes, let me get in the way and share some of your knowledge about sailing and the lifestyle that I couldn’t get anywhere else. My desire to sail has gotten a million times stronger thanks to the both of you. On top of that, you made sure we still had a vacation of a lifetime! The food was absolutely amazing (even with all of our crazy dietary restrictions) and you two were always so willing to make sure we were at all the spots we wanted to be at. All this while sharing bits of your South African culture with us. After a day or two I just felt like I was hanging out with two old friends. Please keep us in mind once you visit the states. We would love to buy to two a drink and see how the charter life is treating you. We wish you all the best. Maybe we will see you out on the sea sometime! Fair winds and following seas! James, Amanda, Gena, Megan and JasonDecember 2021
Dear Belinda and Rob, What a glorious time my family had sailing with you in the BVI’s! As we anticipate winter temps and probable frozen precip this evening, we are longing for Belle Vie, your hospitality and those warm, sunny islands!! I don’t think we can ever top the fun times and adventures we had with you. Thank you so much for giving all of us the trip of a lifetime. We had such fun!!! Both of you were always right on hand to offer hospitality and adventures. Eliza, Brier and Lydia thought everything was amazing! What a fabulous array of delicious meals the “master chef” prepared. And the Captain was always spot on with a water toy or adventure. Indeed we were blessed to be on the Belle Vie with the two of you, who made our trip so memorable. Thank you again so much. I hope 2022 finds you happily at sea enjoying your “empty nest” stage of life. Hope you get to see those Australian children of yours, too! Right now I wish you were close at hand to me with a rum punch!!! Do get in touch if you get to the States and near the Atlanta area. We’d love to connect again. God bless you in your travels. Fondly, MerielNew Years 2021/2022
Belinda and Rob, THANK YOU for an amazing trip and the wonderful experiences. We all had a blast and felt very blessed to have you be our hosts for the week. The food was amazing and the many stops between each meal were welcomed adventures. From jumping off Will T's, to meandering through the Baths, to New Years on Anegada...we all had a ball!! I can assure you this trip will be talked about for many, many years! Thank you again for your hospitality and always offering to help make our trip 5 star! Enjoy the next charter and may your 2022 be blessed and prosperous! Brooks, Whitney, Mimi, and the girls PS We are praying you get to connect with your Australian bound kids this year!! Fingers crossed!January 2022
Rob & B were the BEST! The Belle Vie was such a wonderful experience. Probably never going to eat this good again. Thank you Rob & B! -LaurenJanuary 2022
Lovely time with B & Rob. Our chaperons and second-parents on this journey. B is a Vegan Masterchef! and #1 for her vegan chocolate cake! I hope I see y'all again. Much love, Casey -Denver, COJanuary 2022
Rob & B, Thank you! This was such a special experience, I will greatly miss the islands as well as the both of you. B, your cooking is fantastic and you have a comforting presence. Rob, you remind me a lot of my dad, he is a virgo too! -Zara HawaiiJanuary 2022
Rob & B made this vacation!! There were so nice and accommodating. B made the BEST food ever and Rob knew all the best snorkeling spots! Thank you guys for everything and I hope to see y'all again! -Tess LouisianaJanuary 2022
Thank you for an amazing trip Rob & B! I couldn't have asked for a better crew. B's vegan boat is the BEST around. -Elyse & Eden Miami, FLBroker provided review
The crew were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely fabulous and far exceeded our expectations. Rob and Belinda went out of their way to make our charter one of the best vacations we have ever had. We would love to charter with them again. BVIs are fantastic.
July 2022 - Broker provided review
Rating of Yacht & Crew: (5 Being the Highest) 5 Was the yacht comfortable and clean? The yacht was absolutely spotless and beautiful. We were left wanting for nothing more. Everything we needed for the perfect vacation was available and in great working condition. Was the yacht well ventilated? Yes, we had no issues (as I have in the past!) with air conditioning or wind flow. Was the crew friendly and accommodating? The crew was spectacular. They provided the highest level of service possible. Everything, from the amazing food to the fantastic guidance on where to go and what to do, was perfect. I truly can't imagine a better crew to work with. We left our trip feeling as if we've made life long friends. Was the food good and well presented? The food was fantastic. It was delicious and the variety was great. Belinda really worked to understand our likes and dislikes and adjusted every meal to fit our needs perfectly. Since arriving home we've been craving Belinda's food!! Additional comments about the yacht and crew? Rob was a fantastic captain. Not only did he work tirelessly to keep the yacht in perfect shape but he was also a great guide during the trip. He catered our itinerary around the needs of our entire group. Whether that was extreme amounts of snorkeling for some or extreme relaxation and bar hopping for others. We all got what we wanted out of our week long vacation of a lifetime! Cruising Area Did you like the area you chartered in? The BVI's were incredible! I can't imagine a more beautiful location. However, I would recommend traveling directly into Tortola as opposed to St Thomas and ferrying to Tortola which adds layers of complexity and cost that weren't very fun.New Years Flotilla
Not one of our 20 members were disappointed with their trip. It was our best trip to date, and we’ve been on a lot of other ones. The itinerary was perfect and they catered to our every desire. If we wanted to change plans mid trip they did their best to accommodate us in every detail. We didn’t miss a thing!!! Plenty of play toys for the adults and children. Snorkel gear was supplied for all, along with water boards and rafts and other toys. I know everyone who has a good captain thinks theirs is the best. I KNOW the captain on my boat is the number one captain for a charter. In his command we always felt safe and secure in his knowledge and handling of our sailboat. Always he greeted us with his warm smile and pleasant disposition. He never seemed rushed or bothered by all the needs of our family group of twenty. At the end of the charter we felt like we were leaving a dear friend. I cannot give him enough accolades! He was easy to talk to, always trying to serve his guests and accommodate them with any desire of their hearts. Rob and his wife/chef Belinda are such a pleasant couple. They truly compliment each other and work well together. We were beyond blessed to have them as our crew. They made our trip enjoyable and pleasing. Rob never got upset with our active, over the top family. He continued to smile throughout our exploits. He was helpful and quick to meet our needs. I could go on and on about telling what a great captain he is. You will not be disappointed if you are fortunate enough to have him captain your sailboat!!! A Plus Plus!!! Now Belinda is amazing! She will not disappoint pleasing you with her delicious cuisine. Every one meal was a delight. She is an exceptional chef and her recipes will make you want to arrive at the table on time. She caters to your every desire and wants to please you. She is most pleasant and has a warm personality. My only complaint is the four pounds she put on me during our week stay. You will love Belinda and she will leave you with wonderful memories of the scrumptious food she serves. A true delight in every way!!! The boat was very clean and well maintained. It was very comfortable and spacious with lots of places to get away! What more can I say!!! Food was first rate and drinks were readily available. We even got to enjoy a few new concoctions!!!Best Vacation Ever!
The crew – Rob and Belinda were excellent! The food – Belinda is a phenomenal chef, we all gained weight eating her wonderful meals. Belinda was the best chef in the entire tandem flotilla and was really amazing. The attention to detail she puts into everything she serves is incredible. We had three great meals and a nice snack every day. Rob is a very capable professional boat captain and sailor. We felt safe and secure at all times. He does everything 110% and is a really nice, personable guy. We created our own itinerary but it worked out well. We had two windy days that made for more difficult sailing but otherwise it was fine. Rob and Belinda rock!!April 2023
We had the time of our lives! Best time ever for us as a couple. You and Rob made our stay a true-life moment from beginning to end. Your wonderful personalities, extensive experience and knowledge of the seas and sailing were exactly what we were looking for. We would like the Mystic’s owners to know that they could not have placed their brand-new boat and investment in more caring or capable hands! We look forward to seeing you again next year same time with our family, kids & spouses. Best regards, Linda& RichMay 2023
Rob & B Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!! B – Your meals always exceeded our expectations!! Your chicken pasta, steak and scalloped potatoes, fish tacos, salsa, and salads were some of our favourites! Then you topped it off with desserts that were memorable to say the least. I will never forget the Tipsy Tart!! Rob – Thank you for being prepared with a plan, but also flexible. We loved the snorkelling, exploring the caves with the water toys and our island explorations! Most of all, thank you for navigating us safely through the swells between Anegada and Scrub Island! Above all, thank you for sharing yourselves with us. The conversations, sharing your near-death experience on Mt Everest and allowing Dave to be part of the crew made us feel like family. You are both so suited for this job. Until we meet again. Dave & SuzanneMay 2023

Belinda and Rob, Its pitch black, at 5am, as I begin to write this. I’ve been the lucky one tasked to figure out how to somehow thank you both by putting words on to paper. It is no small feat, and as always, I’m concerned that I will somehow fumble my words along the way… but honestly, it will be typical of me! Wow…Just…WOW. THANK YOU! We can’t even describe how simply magnificent this whole week has been for us six. Honestly, the entire trip has far surpassed anything we could have imagined!! We knew that the location would be spectacular when we planned the trip over a year ago, but to have lucked to have gotten you both as our guides through this life changing vacation was where we truly hit the jackpot! We chose this charter specifically because of you both (your bios and experience) and we could not have found anyone better fit to handle such a crazy group! Our entire trip felt perfectly created to our likings and preferences! It was as if you both have known our group all our lives and created the perfect itinerary and menu just for us. (Seriously B, the food was absolutely, freaking phenomenal!) So much love was poured into each meal you made for us. We were so impressed we received a 5-star meal from the confines of such as small space! Thank you for the laughter, the lessons in sailing and for sharing stories with us of your life adventures! Thank you for taking such great care of us the entire week, the time we have spent has been food for the souls! Best of luck as you move on to Mystic. We look forward to hearing and seeing all your adventures. If you ever want to remember our group and charter, head over to Foxy’s to see Dave’s face on Caprice’s swimsuit!! Hopefully, we will all be able to return to see it ourselves. In the meantime, we appreciate you checking in on it every now and then. With the greatest Love, Respect and Appreciation AlwaysJuly 2023
What a great adventure! To have such a wonderful and new experience with family made us feel very blessed, and it was topped off with such a fantastic crew of Captain Rob and Chef/First Mate Belinda Bentley on the Mystic 5.4 catamaran. Not only was the catamaran absolutely stunning and accommodating, but the Bentleys also ensured we enjoyed every minute of it! Captain Rob is an experienced professional, all the while being polite, personable, and dedicated to not only the boat but also the guests. He shared his extensive knowledge of manoeuvring the boat, the sail functions (when and how to use them), and the complex navigation system with the guests interested in the operation of the catamaran. Chef Belinda was meticulous in every meal’s preparation and presentation. Every meal was made with love and care while considering the guests’ specific dietary needs. Her incorporation of exotic, local flavours and spices elevated the meals even more! Not only did she prepare three meals a day, but she also provided a snack between meals. Never to disappoint the guests’ tastebuds! Her food is worthy of a James Beard Foundation Award! Together Rob and Belinda took excellent care of the guests and the luxurious catamaran. While traveling to various islands, Rob and Belinda briefly described the island’s intriguing history, where the best places to swim/snorkel are, and the attractions, restaurants, and shopping available. Both made sure the guests knew water safety and the use of the equipment provided to ensure the guests had the best experience in the beautiful Caribbean seas. Captain Rob even led a group snorkelling and showed the best place to view the magnificence of the creatures in the water. While guests were off the boat or lounged on one of the decks, Chef Belinda was guaranteed to be in the kitchen preparing the next meal, snack, and dessert. They work so well with each other and interact with the guests delightfully and sincerely. Captain Rob and Chef Belinda truly felt like family by the end of the adventure! No words can express how grateful we feel to have been with the Bentleys on our vacation. They have set the bar so high that we MUST have our future vacations with them on the Mystic 5.4! Sincere thanks to Captain Rob and Chef Belinda Bentley!
