Ohana 80, is a luxury sailing yacht ideal for exclusive getaways, intimate charters and island adventures. Ohana accommodates up to ten guests in five deluxe, king-size ensuite cabins. A custom layout featuring hand-picked design elements made in-factory at Sunreef’s shipyard in Poland ensures she is one-of-a-kind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ With three fully-equipped wet bars, a central open-concept galley, and seamless flow between the yacht’s interior and exterior spaces, Ohana creates a perfect platform to host guests comfortably. Classy lines underscore her modern style with a classic edge. The contemporary decor finds softness in the warm, light woods and coastal blues of her inviting interior. Her bold exterior boasts a custom color hull. A vast, central lounging space with a panoramic view opens both onto the bow terrace and cockpit. The bow benefits from a cozy lounge, well shielded from sun and wind. To the aft, the saloon merges with the spacious cockpit offering a lovely al fresco dining area. The cockpit overlooks an extra large hydraulic platform that can act as a swim-up island once the jet tender is splashed. From the aft bathing platform, you can launch water toys, try scuba diving for the first time or sun tan all at sea-level. All the areas combined form a universal, open environment where flexibility and freedom reign. Ohana has a built in scuba diving compressor and an area designated to tanks and top-of-the-line gear. Four Seabobs are also on offer along with a wide array of water toys and adventure sports to try. Unique to Ohana, a day-head is located in the aft cockpit to allow for maximum comfort during the day. The day head is complete with a wash basin and changing table for our younger guests. In addition, there are two waterfall shower heads by each aft sugar scoop for fresh water rinses throughout the sunny, salty days. Underwater lights line the waterline for an added ambiance in the evening. High bulwarks and a large beam lend to the superstructure design allowing for a generous flybridge and bimini that extends its full length. Along with dual helms, the flybridge is dedicated to leisure, with comfortable seating, plush sunpads, and a large jacuzzi. There are options to dine al fresco while enjoying movie night with the family or catch a game on the large, retractable flatscreen TV while simultaneously enjoying a 360 view of the Caribbean. The hulls provide impressive volumes to this large yacht. Airy, luxurious guest cabins encompass king-size beds, roomy closets and storage spaces, retractable TV and an immense bathroom. A perfect setting to unwind and relax after a long day in the sun. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Ohana is a Hawaiian term meaning family. It often refers to one’s extended support system, including nuclear family, extended family, close friends, colleagues and community groups. The word is imbued with loyalty, compassion, support and love. In native Hawaiian culture, it is a great honor to be a part of an ohana; it means that you'll never be forgotten or left behind. The root word ʻohā refers to the shoot of the taro plant, a Hawaiian staple. Ana is a word that conveys regeneration. Just as the taro plant produces offshoots, a person’s family is multigenerational and grows in different directions to include all of the people they love. The owners chose Ohana to represent their strong-family ties and generous spirit. When you stay aboard Ohana, you can indulge in luxury and regalement, but leave knowing you are a part of something much grander. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ S T A Y + S A I L Ohana Villa https://youtu.be/hPmxLFVrQEU Relax on your own private beach area, or if you are more adventurous, you can swim with sea turtles in your backyard, discover the local lobster and octopus living under the rocks, or kayak to Magens Bay Beach.

Rotational Captain | Tyler Boruff

Always on the move and ready for the next adventure, Tyler is a true waterman with a deep love for the outdoors and a talent for connecting with people. Raised on fishing, boating, wakeboarding, and waterskiing, his passion for life on the water began early. At just ten years old, he went sailing for the first time and he was hooked.

During college, Tyler worked as both a windsurfing and scuba diving instructor, combining his love for the ocean with his natural ease in teaching and leadership. His journey later took him to the East Coast, where he owned and operated fishing boats and served as a first mate and dive instructor on several charter and dive vessels. After earning his degree in finance with a minor in business, he set out for a corporate job. He was simply too dry.

When he's not on the water, Tyler is likely deep in the wilderness. A true outdoorsman, he enjoys backpacking and hunting in the mountains of North Carolina, his home base. He also enjoys cave diving in North Florida and freediving the reefs of the Florida Keys. Island life suits him perfectly: he’s often found exploring trails, searching for cliff-jumping spots, or diving for lobsters in the USVI. In the BVI, you’ll likely catch him kiteboarding when the breeze is right. An expert freediver with a keen eye for marine life, Tyler is also known for his impressive fish identification skills.

Hospitality comes naturally to him. With years of experience in guest service and management, and even a bartender’s license, Tyler understands how to create an inviting and memorable guest experience. As your captain aboard Ohana, he combines his love for adventure with a strong focus on safety, professionalism, and good times.

Tyler began his yachting journey alongside his wife, Erika, who worked as his chef. Together, they formed a dynamic duo, bringing exceptional hospitality and heart to every charter. In 2023, they welcomed their baby girl into the world. A milestone that inspired them to step back from full-time yachting. Since then, Tyler has transitioned to a rotation schedule, allowing him to balance family life with being a charter yacht captain.

Tyler is passionate about helping guests turn their dream island vacations into unforgettable memories. He’ll work closely with you to design a custom itinerary full of adventure, relaxation, and bucket-list moments - ensuring your time aboard Ohana is as fun and fulfilling as the islands themselves.

Rotational Captain | Brian Schott

A lifelong ocean enthusiast, Brian has built a dynamic career rooted in his deep love and respect for the sea. Raised in the coastal haven of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, his connection to the water began early as a junior lifeguard, where he developed a strong foundation in ocean safety, awareness, and confidence in the surf.

His passion for hospitality led him to pursue a degree in Hospitality and Hotel Management, after which he relocated to Southern California. It was in the lively waters of San Diego Bay that Brian first fell in love with sailing. At the helm of small sailboats, he discovered a true passion for seamanship and navigation—an experience that would chart the course for his future.

In 2017, Brian made the bold decision to leave the corporate world behind and commit fully to life on the water. Since then, he has logged over a decade of hands-on experience in the maritime industry, demonstrating a unique ability to adapt across a wide variety of vessels, from nimble sailing yachts to luxurious motor yachts.

His diverse background includes leading multi-day charter adventures, offshore deliveries, private family cruising, and managing liveaboard programs. Whether curating bespoke itineraries or ensuring seamless day-to-day operations, Brian brings a calm, confident presence and an unwavering commitment to guest satisfaction. Known for his approachable leadership style, he creates a relaxed yet professional onboard atmosphere centered on safety, teamwork, and genuine enjoyment.

In 2025, after nearly a decade of yachting, Brian met his now-wife, fittingly, on a boat. The couple recently welcomed a baby boy in their UK home-base. Brian started rotating as a captain when he started his family.

Today, Brian continues to bring his trademark energy, precision, and enthusiasm to every Ohana charter—delivering unforgettable experiences with a personal touch, one voyage at a time.

Rotational Chef | Dominic Hörl

Dominic’s culinary journey began in the picturesque village of Schreiersgrün, Germany, where his early connection to nature and food was nurtured by his grandparents’ gardens and the surrounding forests. Foraging for wild herbs, vegetables, and mushrooms sparked a fascination that led him to begin his culinary career at just 16.

He launched his apprenticeship at a Michelin-starred restaurant within a renowned spa hotel in the German countryside, where he quickly discovered a love for precision, creativity, and exceeding expectations. Over the next decade, Dominic thrived in Michelin-caliber kitchens, mastering the art of refined cuisine. His dedication and skill were ultimately recognized when, as head chef, he helped lead his restaurant to earn its own Michelin star—an achievement that remains a proud milestone in his career.

After years of high-level success, Dominic was ready for a new adventure. He relocated to the Caribbean, where his connection to nature deepened—this time through the sea. Embracing freediving and scuba diving, he explored vibrant marine life and diverse island ecosystems, finding new inspiration in every dive. It was here, in the British Virgin Islands, that he and his wife chose to make their home.

Now with over 18 years of experience in hospitality and fine dining, Dominic brings a calm confidence and thoughtful approach to every table. As a rotating yacht chef, he has found the perfect harmony between his love for exploration and his dedication to delivering unforgettable culinary experiences. His cuisine blends the elegance of Mediterranean techniques with bold Asian influences and a hint of Caribbean soul—tailored to delight Ohana's guests with every bite.

Rotational Chef | Sam Middeke

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Sam is a trained chef with a deep-rooted passion for crafting thoughtful, ingredient-driven cuisine. After completing culinary school in his hometown, he honed his skills in the dynamic food scene of Nashville, Tennessee, working under some of the city's most respected chefs. Through dedication and creativity, Sam quickly rose through the ranks to become Executive Chef at one of Nashville’s culinary mainstays.

In 2020, Sam started a Supper Club in Nashville. Developed during the covid-19 pandemic to give people an opportunity to get together in a small, safe environment when options were scarce. His first taste of cooking in a more intimate and private setting.

After six successful years in Music City, Sam set his sights beyond the restaurant world—exchanging brick-and-mortar kitchens for a life at sea. As a yacht chef, he now brings together his love of scratch cooking and his appetite for adventure, drawing inspiration from global flavors and techniques discovered through his culinary travels.

Recently, Sam discovered a new passion for skydiving and paragliding. Adrenaline-fueled pursuits that perfectly complement his adventurous spirit. These high-flying hobbies have sparked a renewed drive for exploration, learning, and pushing boundaries. The thrill of jumping and traveling inspired him to shift to a rotational schedule, offering the freedom to chase new experiences while maintaining his love for life at sea.

When he’s not in the sky or on the water, Sam stays connected to his culinary roots. His time off allows him to continue hosting his signature Supper Club and collaborate with fellow chefs in Nashville, keeping his creativity sharp and his menus ever-evolving.

Sam's boundless curiosity, eye for detail and commitment to excellence make him a skilled chef. He designs bespoke, handcrafted menus tailored to each guest, making every meal a memorable experience on Ohana.

Mate + Dive Instructor | Fabian Thomas

Growing up in London, far from the sea, Fabian always felt a profound connection to the ocean. As a child, he eagerly awaited summer trips to the coast, where he fell in love with fishing and snorkeling. Back in London, his passions revolved around football and skateboarding, but the pull of the water never left him. Channeling his love for sports and adventure, Fabian pursued roles as a personal trainer and swimming instructor while studying Geography at the University of Exeter. During his studies, his oceanic passion deepened—he traded skateboarding for surfing and spent his summers working as a kayak and coastal exploration guide.

These experiences cemented Fabian’s lifelong dedication to the water. Before long, he discovered his true calling beneath the waves, becoming a scuba diving instructor. This role has taken him to breathtaking dive sites across the globe, including Egypt's Red Sea, Sri Lanka, the Mediterranean, and Thailand, where he completed his divemaster and instructor certifications. Sharing the awe-inspiring wonders of the ocean with others has been one of the most rewarding aspects of his journey—a passion he’s excited to bring to you.

Fabian also has a strong background in hospitality, having worked as both a bartender and a barista. For over two years, he has thrived in the maritime world, working aboard vessels ranging from 60 to 230 feet. His adventures have taken him across the Mediterranean, on an Atlantic crossing, and now to the Caribbean. Along the way, Fabian has taken on diverse and vital roles, from managing engineering tasks to leading professional dives around shipwrecks and archaeological sites. His focus is always on creating safe, unforgettable experiences for those on board Ohana.

"the most extraordinary adventure" | Dec. 28-Jan. 4, 2024

How in the world can I put into words what an amazing experience this was for all of us from the very first moments to the end and everything in between? I really can't, but will try! You guys made this the most extraordinary adventure. You created an environment that allows everyone to truly be themselves and enjoy life! We were so fortunate to have the four of you as our guides. Each one of you has such special skills that work so well together to create such a memorable experience for everyone. I am so thankful to have met each of you (Rik is too!). You guys inspire us to live life to it's fullest. You taught us so much about our beautiful world and I feel so lucky that we got to spend this fabulous week with you. Thanks for making John's Bday so fantastic. Your attention details did not go unnoticed and it was very much appreciated! We all really appreciated the pampering!! As I said, it was only a week, but we are family now! Good luck on all your next adventures - I can't wait to see where the wind takes you! Love, Elizabeth + Rick

"Very few things in life surpasses expectations, but this blew all expectations + anticipation out of the water" | Dec. 28-Jan. 4, 2024

When our friends the Steel's invited us on a charter boat in the BVI for John's 50th birthday, we looked forward to the trip for a whole year, but no amount of time could have prepared me for the dream trip we had. Very few things in life surpasses expectations, but this blew all expectations + anticipation out of the water like the Army Corps of Engineers blasting the R.M.S. Rhone. Thank you for EVERYTHING - taking us on early morning hikes, sunrise yoga, answering all our silly landlubber questions about sailing, feeding us, guiding us, teaching us, and allowing us to be part of your Ohana for a week that we will never forget! Tyler - thanks for knowing I could do anything that made me hesitate. Cory - you're truly a jack of all trades + an inspiration to always keep learning! Emily - I will strive to be half the hostess + kind heart person you are! Erika - thank you is woefully inadequate for what you did this week. The gift of being taken care of that you gave us is truly priceless + I will always remember how hard you worked, whenever I think I can't spend one more minute in my kitchen! I am also going to keep it much more organized now that I've seen yours! Thank you, Bill + Meredith

"Our next goal is to return" | Dec. 28-Jan. 4, 2024

All John wanted for his 50th birthday was to be at Soggy Dollar Bar with dear friends. As soon as we stepped foot on Ohana we knew we were going to have a fabulous week! The crew - Captain Tyler, Chef Erika, Emily + Cory were nothing short of amazing. Their dedicated service of making sure every piece of our travels was perfect did not go unnoticed. You truly created a trip of a lifetime for all of us. Our next goal is to return. Wishing nothing but the best on the open waters <3 Lisa + John

"impossible to beat" | Dec. 28-Jan. 4, 2024

We did not know what to expect getting onto the beauty, Ohana. Therefore, it's hard to say it has exceeded expectations...rather, it has set expectations for all other experiences that will most certainly be, impossible to beat. Thank you - Erika, Emily, Cory + Captain Tyler, for an extraordinary week that has been fun, relaxing, educational, and in many ways transformational. We will never forget this. XO, Chiara + Dan
