Dining on the aft deck offers alfresco dinging and relaxing on the sun-bed watching the sun set.

A large sky lounge on salon roof where guests can enjoy sun bathing is a favourite spot to enjoy happy hour treats and some of the Captain's delicious cocktails all the while enjoying a 360° view and a soft sea breeze. Come and join us in the British Virgin Islands onboard Odyssea! |

Dylan guides you to perfect bays and secret spots, pairing your expectations with his extensive knowledge to make exploring the Islands all the more enjoyable. Nothing is too much for his guests, whether that means sun tanning on the flybridge with a cocktail in hand or getting involved in the sailing Odyssea. He grew up sailing the Indian and Atlantic Oceans with his family, covering more than 20,000 NM over six years after leaving South Africa at the age of six. Fully qualified and commercially endorsed as an MCA/RYA Yacht Master Offshore 200GT, Dylan also holds a full STCW and is a certified PADI Dive Master.
INTRODUCING RICK & ROXANNE
This fantastic charter couple joins Yacht Odyssea in February 2025, operating with 3 crew for the 2025/2026 season with Captain Dylan remaining aboard. Rick will be in the capacity of 1st Mate for the remainder of the season, taking over as Captain full time at the start of the 2026/2027 season.

They are fully committed to Yacht Odyssea until September 2028.
CAPTAIN RICK
After more than a decade working as a mechanical draughtsman in the mining industry, I made the decision to trade the office for the ocean and pursue a more adventurous lifestyle. Yachting, for me, is not simply a career change but a lifestyle shift—one that allows me to combine my technical background, lifelong connection to the sea, and passion for travel to create memorable experiences on the water.
I’ve been drawn to the ocean from a young age. Based in Mossel Bay, much of my free time revolves around wind and water. When the wind is up, my wife and I can be found kitesurfing; on calmer days, we’re spearfishing or scuba diving with friends. As a certified Divemaster, I enjoy sharing knowledge of anchorages and marine life, discovering new dive sites, and helping others build confidence when kitesurfing and diving.
As a Captain, my approach is calm, organised, and guest-focused. I prioritise safety, clear communication, and strong teamwork, with the goal of delivering smooth, seamless charters where guests can fully relax and enjoy their time onboard.

CHEF ROXANNE
I’m a South African–born creative with a strong hospitality background, now bringing that same energy and passion into the world of yachting. As a certified PADI Divemaster, I have a deep connection to the ocean and a genuine love for exploration, adventure, and learning new skills.
Food is at the heart of what I do and I love creating menus. My style flows naturally through the day, from nourishing breakfasts and beach-style lunches to elegant dinners and special celebrations. I enjoy working with fresh, local ingredients whenever possible and pride myself on being flexible, intuitive, and attentive to guest preferences and dietary requirements.
Outside the galley, I’m highly active on the water. My husband introduced me to kitesurfing, which has quickly become my favorite sport. When the wind isn’t blowing, we spend our time freediving and scuba diving, making the most of life at sea.

Dylan and Keri, We had planned to do this unusual vacation for 5-7 years and we selected the best crew and catamaran, our children loved you guys. You shared so many of your stories about your lives and interacted with us all of the time. It was great to have you do this and make us feel so at home! We felt that you are an extended part of our family. We were comfortable and at home all the time! Dylan your great sense of humor – you challenged the kids and I to competitions, nice – it wasn’t a job it was something that you liked to do. You are very talented at what you do. You shared with us various tasks and gave us all mini lessons on sailing! Each and every meal was far superior to what we have imagined it to be, can we take Keri home with us? Please keep in touch. Dennis and Wendy
Dylan and Keri
This has, by far been the most incredible trip for our family that I could have imagined. Dylan and Keri had all 16 of our guests at every meal which was important to us, thank you for setting up a 8 guest bare boat for the others to sleep in. We have grown to love you! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our large family. Dylan the children loved you. Spending our evenings sharing dinners together and just relaxing watching the fish or looking at the stars was exactly what we had hoped for. We will all go home with memories. The Adamsons.
17 - 24 February 2018
Dylan + Keri You have both been instrumental in giving us a fabulous vacation! You've gone above and beyond to make our time on Slivochka especially memorable. Keri's food was world class delicious, Keri-you seemed to anticipate our every need even before we knew it ourselves. Such as offering hot chocolate after coming back, a bit chilly, after snorkeling. And bringing up blankets at night to the group on the sky bridge because we may become chilly. Dylan-you kept us safe in the wind and the rainstorms. You were so patient with those who had less snorkeling experience and led us on the great snorkeling paddle board caravan with your strong & capable swimming prowess. You miraculously saved Paul's hearing aids, coming to their rescue with the crevice of the rocks at "The Indians" snorkeling location. We cannot imagine a more gracious and capable crew, and we have been blessed. Thank you for fond memories that will last a lifetime! P.S. sorry about sinking the floating island... Fondly - Paula & Gary Gillette Richard + Winnie Ricker Eileen & Tom B Donna Hargett25 Feb - 3 March 2018
Dear Keri and Dylan, Our little piece of heaven in The BVI and you two made it possible! We're afraid that all other vacations will pale in comparison to this fantastic week. It was the perfect storm - luxury boat, 5 star cuisine, gorgeous weather, great friends and your wonderful care and consideration. you both made the trip - you rock - you're awesome. we wish you much success and happiness and good fortune in all of your future endeavours. Much love, and thank you both so very much - Cathy + Mike Corbett Thank you, thank you, thank you! You both went above & beyond, you exceeded our expectations! Thank you for making my St. David's Day memorable. Always welcomes in our "neck of the wods" Cilla + Bill Lannan Amazing, amazing amazing! Thank you so much for holiday of a lifetime. No one can say my name like Dylan! Tedie & Helen xx Dear Keri + Dylan, Thank you for the most amazing vacation ever! You two are such wonderful hosts. You think of everything and make it all seem effortless. Keri, the meals were just incredible. The ribs, sliders, risotto, beautiful salads - they were all delicious. The creme brûlée was particularly memorable. :) We loved our snorkel excursions and the hidden coves you all knew about. The kids loved waterskiing with Dylan too. Tyler will never forget catching his first shark either! :) Please look us up when you find yourselves wanting to check out the states. Mary Collins and Tyler-anneFebruary 2018
We are three reasonably well traveled couples who just finished a most extraordinary and delightful vacation, sailing with Slivochka through the British Virgin Islands. This week long cruise on the yacht Slivochka far exceeded our expectations making it one of our best vacations ever. The three most important factors in chartering a full-service yacht are the crew, the boat, and the itinerary. Beginning with the crew, they were outstanding. Prior to our arrival they had telephoned to discuss our plans. Upon arrival they warmly welcomed us on board Slivochka with cocktails and snacks. They were both so friendly and hospitable that by the end of our cruise they were a part of our family. Dylan was an extremely competent and knowledgeable captain, always finding sheltered anchorages for us to swim and snorkel. He also made all the arrangements for any shore excursions that we enjoyed. For anything that we wanted we simply had to ask Dylan. The meals were exquisite. She is a fantastic cook and each day’s offerings included fresh produce and salads, deliciously prepared grilled fish or meat and even some imaginatively created themed dinners. A special memory was when they joined us on Anegada for a lobster dinner in an outdoor restaurant under the full moon. They were such accommodating and congenial traveling companions who took such excellent care of us that we were sad to bid them farewell. The second consideration was the yacht Slivochka. This is a 59-foot sailing catamaran with extremely comfortable lodging for the guests. Each air-conditioned guest cabin included a walk around queen-size bed, and in-suite head and very adequate storage space. The main deck area was spacious with indoor and outdoor dining areas, and there was a comfortable reclining area next to the bridge. On board were kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment and fishing gear for our use. The yacht was spotless and very well maintained. We had planned the itinerary with Dylan. This included stops at Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke and back to St. Thomas. In addition, we had many side excursions for snorkeling and exploring the beautiful British Virgin Islands. We have charted several boats in the past in the Virgin Islands but they all pale in comparison to sailing on Slivochka. We give them our highest recommendations and hope they will be our crew for any future excursions.Dominique Charter: 28th April - 6th May 2018
"We just returned from an amazing week long private charter in the BVIs on the Slivochka with Dylan as our captain and Isabella as our first mate/chef. It was one of my favorite vacations ever and first ever chartered yacht experience. Captain Dylan worked with us in the planning stages to find out exactly what our interests were and charted the perfect itinerary for our week. He found the most awesome places to show us the amazing beauty of the BVIs. He gave us options throughout the trip and accommodated everything our group wanted to see and do. He guided us on snorkel and hike excursions and was a wonderful host. Isabella was equally knowledgeable and also made suggestions along the way of things to see and do. She also joined us snorkeling, but happens to be a trained dive master. She was the most gracious host, and made our week extremely comfortable. However, her gourmet cuisine was something we looked forward to each day. Her skills as a chef allowed us to dine as if we were at a 5 Star restaurant. She also consulted with us before the trip about our food preferences, and her menu for the week exceeded our expectations. I frankly don’t know how she was able to prepare what she did on board because each meal was simply amazing. She does so much behind the scenes that I don’t know when she slept. Together, they are the perfect team and made our week at sea the most memorable and outstanding vacation, that I will be booking our next charter with them. Thank you Captain Dylan and Bella for all that you did for us. We loved getting to know you and being on board Slivochka. "6 - 12 June 2018
Dylan & Bella - So difficult to put into words exactly how FABULOUS the last few days have been! Captain man-Baby...you helped us have the time of our lives while keeping MOST of us from harming ourselves :) And Bella...you filled our bellies with the EXQUISITE cuisine and delicious cocktails. But more importantly, you filled our hearts with warm memories we will take with us and cherish forever. Thank you both so much for going ABOVE and BEYOND to make this best girls' trip we've taken yet! TX Happy Sails Kirstin, Erin, Kara, Jenny, Julie - The Texas Zeta Girls23 - 30 June 2018

Thank you so much for the most wonderful family vacation EVER. We love to travel and its not easy with our large family and variety of age groups! We appreciate so much your patience in teaching us how to ski and fixing snorkels and reeling in fishing lines. . . etc, etc. You made an especially big impression on our side. You have a new buddy for life. :) We also appreciate your help in arranging to meet up with our friend. It was great for us to see her! You took us to many beautiful places and you didn't murder us and drop our bodies at sea. So thanks for that. Isabella, you are a delight as is your cooking. Best painkillers around. We will spread the word. Thank you for being so sweet and gracious in the face of our chaos and mess. We would love to eat your delicious food daily. Much luck to you in your future! We will miss you! The Spiats Family21 November 2018
Dylan & Bella - You both are amazing people! We loved our time with you both & hope to visit you both again soon! Please enjoy your holiday & time on the water! Love - Bobby & AllisonJanuary 2019
Dylan & Bella - Thank you so much for the most amazing trip we have ever been on. Bella your food was delicious. You both really made our trip so special. We can't thank you enough!!! Lots of love, The Moon & Sproul21 March 2019
Dylan and Bella, We had a fantastic 5 day excursion with y'all. Your food was amazing and your fellowship and professionalism was second to none! We really appreciate your flexibility so we could meet up with our friends. We look forward to booking our next excursion with you, our friends and your sister boat. Thank you! Siobhan, Hans, Connor, Liam and Andrew PetersonMarch 2019
After Charter Survey What was your first impression of the yacht? = Immaculate Was advertised equipment onboard and in good condition? - Yes Did the skipper/hostess make you feel welcome and comfortable onboard? - Yes Did you feel free to choose activities? - Absolutely Please provide specific comments regarding your skipper and hostess. - They were both wonderful! We planned out where we would go, dive etc. with Dylan. Isabella was an amazing cook! She took us snorkeling and made sure we were all together. This was our 3rd time doing this and our best trip by far. Were the meals and beverages as you expected? - Yes, even better! The food and wine were amazing. They waited on us and took care of our boys when they were hungry in between meals. If you made any special requests were they met? - Yes. Was this your first visit to the BVI? - No, 3rd by boat Would you recommend this yacht for a charter vacation? - AbsolutelyVirgin Islands Charter June 12, 2019 Charter
We had an amazing time! The boat was very well appointed and perfectly accommodated our group. Dylan and Isabella were incredible. They were knowledgeable, interesting, professional and just fun to be around. Bella is an amazing chef and all of her food was delicious. We were all baffled by how she cooked such gourmet meals in such a small space. Dylan did an excellent job leading our dives and providing a fun and safe environment for all. This really is an incredible vacation for anyone. It is so relaxing, rejuvenating and a genuine break for day to day life. The meals were so delicious that one of the kids wanted to propose to Bella! The food was perfect. Bella did an amazing job working around the needs of someone with a nut allergy and a pescatarian. The meals were interested and beautifully presented. She was very mindful of our preference sheet. The yacht was beautiful. It was clean, well-maintained and well appointed. The provided toiletries were high end and very much appreciated. Everyone loved the Sun Bum sunscreen and it was soo nice not to bring all that along. The cabins were comfortable and the AC was great. We loved sitting on the upper deck on our sails. It would have been a bit nicer if there was a little more shade up there but it was not a issues. It was nicely situated next to the captain and it provided a nice opportunity to talk with Dylan and Bella while crossing. There were plenty of other shaded options on the boat. We loved the coffee machine, snacks and fruit that were always out and available. It was also super helpful to have the "lost & found" basket and the sunglasses basket. Great idea! The games and books were also a nice touch. Our diving was a highlight for our family. We did two dives that were very fun. Dylan and Bella worked seamlessly to get the equipment out, get us oriented and prepared for the dive. Dylan did a great job reviewing skills (especially for our kids), the dive plan and signals before were dove. We loved both the Indians Dive and the octopus wreck dive. The pace was a perfect balance of relaxing and active. We loved swimming, snorkeling, diving, reading, paddle boarding, playing games & hanging out. The cruising gave us the perfect amount of downtime between all the fun.4 – 10 November 2019
Dylan and Gi, “Captain Dylan, aka Trever, Phillipe, Cooper, Carter, Hunter, Austin – and dear Gi!! You both have been the absolute best and made this trip one of our all time. Thank you for your patience with us! For the AMAZING delicious food we were spoiled with and your wonderful sweet personalities – best ever.

Dylan & Gi – Thank you for making the first voyage for our kiddos such a success! Jack & I have dreamed of introducing them to such a vacation, you’re patience, attention to all of the details, and special touches made it a perfect trip. Magdalene (9 years old) will forever remember the snorkelling, getting to touch a jelly fish, diving down to touch a rock, seeing a grand sea turtle, & of course her special friend “Rob” the conch Capt. Dylan, your patience & guidance helped make all of these things possible. Jaxie (8 years old) loved sitting on the nets with the wind blowing on her face, snorkelling, tubing & of course the early morning chats with you both. Maverick (4 years) will always remember the swims in the “open seas”, his first tubing experience, searching for shells, and he will likely keep dreaming of Gi’s sweets for years to come! Truly, a wonderful, fabulous journey with you both. The pirate thanksgiving lunch was a terrific treat. Until next time, Amanda & Jack Ryan, Magdalene, Jaxie & Maverick

15 December 2019
Dylan & Gi, Thank you so much for the amazing trip. Many memories were made on this most amazing boat, with amazing foor & great friends. So glad we all crossed paths. Looking to seeing your alls continued adventures. You all are the best. God Bless, Dennis & Lisa Stephens Dylan & Gi, What an amazing week. I must confess that memories of a charter 10 years ago really made me think that experience could never be matched. Wow, was I wrong. Not only did you all match it, you exceeded my expectations. If I could bottle up and market you all I think we could make millions! The smiles, the service the excellent food and your willingness to do whatever was asked made for an amazing trip. Dylan’s wise chores and very judicious guidance on where to go and what to do was always right on target. Both of you have such a friendly personality we fell in love with you both instantly. We plan on shouting your highest praises and recommending you & the Slivochka to anyone that will listen. Gi thanks for taking one for the team with Christopher! That’s one experience we won’t forget and will become part of our “vacation” stories. God Bless you both with rich lives and success in all you do. With much appreciation and thanks Matt & Lisa Bowman I can’t thank you enough for the incredible week I (personally had), as well as our whole group. It’s hard to think back and pick a favorite but if I was forced, simply sailing!! And of course having the atmosphere to reconnect with new and old friends. The both of out did yourselves. Dave & I are in the process of figuring out another time w/another group so we will see you in the future!!! Sincerely, Stacy Florence Thanks to the cocktail board outside. I don’t remember much, but apparently, according to Stacy’s Facebook posts, I’ve had a blast! Just kidding. I remember everything, every delicious meal, especially! You two are amazing people. Made for hospitality, for sure, but overall you are genuinely wonderful spirits. You’ve given me a lifetime of adventure, laughter, and memories in this short little week. (And Dylan, I still can’t believe you caught my hat!) Thank you!! Nicki Shorr-Maxson
27 December 2019
Dylan and Gi Simply Amazing! Having done this trip 10 years ago with our family as well, we thought we knew what to expect/ The two of you made this trip truly exceed all expectations. From knowledge of the world, the excellent food, exceptional service, patience, nothing too much to ask for, making sure we slept in the smoothest and most beautiful bays…I could go on and on. Thank you both for treating our family to a trip of a lifetime with special memories! We have already recommended to several friends! Warmest personal regards, Your favorite Texans!

5 January 2020
Dylan & Gi, What a great trip. We enjoyed every minute. The food was wonderful. I think the girls had 6 of the-best meals they’ve ever had. Can’t wait to do this again soon with you guys. Hope we weren’t too much trouble. Keep in touch. Steve & Judy Vermillion Thank you so much for such an amazing experience, we could not have asked for a better crew! Gi, your cooking was INCREDIBLE. It’s going to be so hard to go back to eating our subpar meals. We had an absolute blast staying up and playing endless amounts of card games, especially spoons. Willy T’s is a night we loved the most – the memories may be fuzzy, but unfortunately the videos and bruises aren’t. Dylan, thank you for being a great leader when it came to snorkelling and ass tattoos Thank you Gi for introducing us to the Caipirinha, we will spend countless hours trying to recreate the recipe since you can’t share (along with the soy fillet sauce). It’s hard to pick a favorite island they were all our favorite – from dune buggies at Anegada to the caves at Norman. We will never forget this trip and we will absolutely be back soon. We cannot thank you guys enough for going above and beyond. Steve, Judy, Cat, Walker and Addie Vermillion, Amanda Erskine, Wade Cox and Jordan Esopa

Dylan & Gi – this boat trip was unforgettable!! Top class – five stars. Everyone had a great time and could not have asked for better weather.

Dylan & Gi (smiley) Thank you for an ALL-AMAZING trip. It exceeded our expectations. We appreciated your professionalism and easy going personalities. The two year wait from our original plan was worth it and we will be back soon. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals and cocktails. There were new stories everyday that we can add to our memories. And we have two new friends.

23 February 2020
Dylan & Gi, Thank you for a wonderful week of adventure. If we could Gi home with us to cook for us we would. All our meals were wonderful, breakfast, lunch & dinner! Dylan was a great captain & cool as a cucumber when the dingy stopped running and we had to row back to the boat. He was a great participant in the What Do You Meme game! Dylan was very flexible with our itinerary and had great suggestions. We tried to get them to let us stay on as part of the crew but unfortunately that would have required them to cancel the rest of their charters! We would definitely book another charter on Slivochka with Dylan & Gi. Greg, Susan, Kyle, Allison, Katie and Chad Hackenbracht, Paul Pettitt, Erin Roy
09 March 2020
After years of bareboat chartering; Dylan & Gi have converted us! Knowing the anchorages, snorkelling spots and finest dining (right on board!) has made us understand chartering done right. Thank you for giving us a fabulous week. Dylan and Gi – you rock!! Come visit us in New England when it is warm! Absolutely fabulous week in paradise – a little piece of heaven – thank you so much!! Gi and Dylan Thanks so much for the extraordinary week on board Slivochka, Gi, your 100 megawatt smile and warm hospitality set the tone for the week: and your meals – all outstanding. Dylan your excellent seamanship and encyclopaedic knowledge of the BVI, its anchorages, snorkelling spots provided us with a fantastic vacation: smooth seas and fair winds for you. Thanks so much. Dylan and Gi, As first time sailors, the experience was far beyond any expectations we had – in every aspect of the trip, Fabulous!

Dylan & G, We can’t even imagine a better trip. Everything was wonderful; food, boat, knowledge, snorkeling etc. etc. Thank you, Thank you for making our trip a once in a lifetime experience. We can’t say enough. Please come visit us in California, our door is always open for you both. We hope to see you again! Thank you for the way I’ll feel everytime I look at our photos. The hardest (or only hard) part of the trip is leaving on the last day. Thank you for a fabulous vacation. Tam and Sam What can I say - what a perfect week! Laughter, friendship, amazing food (thank you, Gi!) and beverage…and snorkeling adventures that for better and better…okay, coulda done without the jellyfish…superlatives are woefully inadequate. You both went way above and beyond what we could have expected. Thank you so much for a perfect sail! Susan and Steve13 June 2021
Dear Dylan & Gi, This is our first “cruise” vacation as a family, and honestly could not have a better crew. Everything from safety, the food, the magically made up beds, and the most amazing friendly voices. You two are perfect example(s) of how to be courteous and calm around all kinds of personalities in a family. We could simply not have asked for a better experience. Please come see us in Park City, Utah! Or even connect or take/get in touch if you visit the Westcoast of Norway in the summer. Thanks from the bottom of my heart giving us all an unforgettable week, So so sad to leave. Keep in touch! xoxo Tone “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page” Dear Dylan x Gi, My daughter-in-law, Tone, has voiced my thought! This cruise was perfection! You and Gi are the best, so caring and patient. Odyssea was perfect for our 3 generations. We loved the pace, the beauty, the scenery scuba, and snorkeling. It has been a wonderful week and we hope to see you again. Come visit TN! Anne x David20 June 2021
Dylan and G, We all had a wonderful week. Full circle from Norman Island to the caves. Scuba locations were amazing and so much fun for the boys. The meals were all delicious! Can’t wait till next time. Take care you two! Great times by all! Laughs, smiles, good memories…& pirates dice!June 2021 BVI charter
Broker Feedback to the Captain- Sorry for the delayed reply in getting feedback from the B’s who left ODYSSEA on the 3rd… But, I was finally able to chat with them over the phone last night, so I am relaying this… They had an excellent time with you and Gi on board. They were very impressed with your knowledge and experience. They knew you had their best interest at heart all the time and you are super caring! Butch loved hanging out with you, which gave Mrs. some time to herself! She loved it! She also mentioned how impressed they were with being in a small space all together, yet you both knew how to give them their space, and when to join in. It was never an issue.. The boat was very nice too. They mentioned the unfortunate weather they had, but you guys made it great. (I think she mentioned board games or dominoes or something) Whatever, they enjoyed spending that time with you. Regarding Gi, OMG! She went off talking about her cooking and presentations. She also sent me photos in a text. Gi not only did an excellent job with cooking but the presentation was beautiful with every meal. She mentioned that “not only did she do such an excellent job, but it was effortlessly on her end. I never saw her really with a messed up galley in the middle of cooking. She never really saw her in the galley making a mess, it was always very clean and organized as if she really wasn’t cooking.” (I hope I am relaying this right) "We joked about how I, or Amparo, cook a meal and everyone knows with the banging of pots/pans/dishes etc. and the kitchen would be a mess. Gi had NONE of that! She was like a magician in the galley and you never knew she could produce such great meals every day with no stress and cleanliness. Her galley was always perfect even in the middle of cooking!" She also mentioned they would go to their room and were shocked to see the room always cleaned and perfect. She was shocked because she never saw either one of you going down to their rooms ever. Again, like a magician! They would love to come back with you and ODYSSEA in the future, for sure…3 July 2021

We so enjoyed our hikes, snorkeling, and the sling shot with you - even though we never got very high. We loved plaing BS with you, even though you never called “peanut butter.” (Congrats on the win) Gi, your food and hospitality are unmatched! One delicious meal after another!! Your talents are endless. We will miss your beautiful smile and laugh! PLEASE visit us anytime. For trips in Atlanta or a tasty lobster in Boston! We will miss you both! XO8-15 Jan 2022
THANK YOU, Dylan and Gi, for this truly special week. Odyssea was a beautiful home to us, and the 2 of you made it so in countless ways, big and small! We will truly miss the exquisite meals and generous bartending, the adventures, the sea and sun, your warm professionalism, and Gi’s infectious laugh!! :-) Wishing you smooth sailing and NO pigs touching until we meet again! Dylan and Gi, Getting to know ythe two of you was probably my favorite part of this amazing trip. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and pushing us to try new things (I will never forget the rock jumping!) I’ll be thinking about you next September, Gi - good luck with your beautiful wedding! And Dylan, I hope you make it back up north soon for another ski adventure (though I still don’t understand why you would choose that over this…) If the two of you ever find yourselves in DC, Alex and I would love to take you out - please let us know. Dylan and Gi, you made this trip an experience we will never forget. The Odyssea has been our home thanks to you both. “Ring for a good time!” Just remember, there might be plenty wata…but tin tin tin! Dylan and Gi, Thank you so much for a truly unforgettable week on the Odyssea! I can’t thank you enough for all of the incredible experiences, meals, cocktails and laughs! Special thanks to Dylan for rescuing me in Tortola one day late and taking me across the channel to Peter Island in the dinghy. If either of you visit New York City, give me a call and I will treat you to dinner - of course, it won’t be as good as Gi’s cooking! All the best Tony and Tara Anthony Olivia and Tyler Emma and Alex20-27 Jan 2022
Out of our twelve charters we have done, you guys are the best crew ever!! We hope to see you again, if not on a boat, come and experience some New Orleans hospitality. Dylan and Gi Thanks so much for an “amazing” week!! Your endless accommodation of our every desire was unbelievable. Food and drinks were over the top - all of your suggestions were so helpful, especially your help with tests. Dylan’s choice of anchorages was perfect. We loved the snorkeling. If you ever come our way, New Orleans or the Mississippi Delta, we’d love to host you. You are the perfect team!! You have really set the bar high for any future sailing trips! This was over the top in every way! Thank you so much for all you did!29 Jan - 5 Feb 2022
Gi and Dylan, We could not have loved this trip more! For those of us who have sailed and a few first timers, every bit of it was perfect! The high service level and professionalism was unmatched and you made your home feel like home to us! Thank you for going out of your way to make Michael’s birthday memorable!

G & Dylan We are so appreciative of the amazing time we had on Odyssea. Every moment was truly wonderful and memorable in so many ways. Some of our favorites were the snorkeling + eel + stingray + sea turtles, the water sports, the soggy dollar + the sany spit. The you for all your hard word and efforts to make this a trip we will NEVER forget. We hope to see you in San Fransisco, you always have a place to stay w/us!! :-) G & Dylan thank you so much for taking us to places we/I have never seen before.

Dylan and Gi Trip of a lifetime! From hikes, snorkles, dives, blue and more blue waters. Every little detail from meals to water bottles by our bedside. Wonderful meals, drinks and adventures. Thanks for the laughs #thisdoenstsuck #wedontwanttogohome #wewillbeback #covidtestsx4 Dylan and Gi Thank you for the trip of a lifetime. We have officially achieved the ultimate dream adventure on our bucket lists! You both were amazing hosts and took such great care of us. We hope adventure brings us back to the Odyssea again. Thanks for numerous memories. Dylan and Gi thank you for the absolute pleasures of allowing us to travel on your vessel and enjoy a week of our lives on this water! We look forward to have our paths cross again.27 Mar - 4 April 2022
Dylan and Gi - To say this trip was beyond extraordinary is an understatement! Your professionalism, knowledge, personality, and overall ability to make every moment special, was so greatly appreciated. No vacation will ever compare nor live up to the experience of our trip! We are truly going to miss you both (but mostly Gi’s COOKING!) Please look us up if ever in the states so we can feed you! Dylan and Gim There are experiences in one’s life that are so special that it is hard to capture in words. We have been on many vacations, seen amazing sites & experienced great adventures, met the nicest people and enjoyed the company of friends. What was truly special about our time with you on the Odyssea was that, in some magical way, you delivered ALL of that in one week. In just seven day we saw the best of the BVI, strengthened friendships and made two more with you. Like Homer’s poem our time with you was truly epic.9 - 16 April 2022
Dylan + Gi, It was a trip of a lifetime. The moment yo board you are on vacation. Gi or Dylan hand you a cocktail and you well in hand. We had many adventures together on the Odyssea. Our favs were - Indian island - JVD - go right - Not left! - long bay/Mountain Pt - but watch those waves! - Hogs head views - Baths - Rhone - Turttles Dylans’ expertise at planning the itinerary were second to none. Gi’s culinary skills were beautifully presented, delicious + completely spoiled us. Best of all was having meals all together and making friendships stronger. You’ve ruined us for any future vacations.24 April - 1 May 2022
Dylan and Gi Thank you for the fabulous vacation on Odyssea. You both were so friendly, professional, & accommodating. The hospitality was beyond expectations. It’s amazing how Gi could cook those meals in such a small space. You both gave us lots of options for drinks, water, sports & relaxation. Thank you again from your NC crew.9-15 May 2022
Dylan + Gi, You have done a great job of hosting us this past week in paradise. This was our fourth charter and it was by far the best. One in our group had a birthday and you two made it so special. We had an issue with two of our group getting sick and you cared for them very well until they recovered. A bit scary, but recovery was quick. We saw some new places and got into many quiet anchorages. Your sound advice made for a very safe and pleasant week. Gi completely spoiled us with her food and technique. You are both very talented beyond your age and we so appreciated that. If we are fortunate enough to come back, you will be our first call. Fair winds and sunny sails. Dylan and Gi, From the moment we stepped off of the dock until the final stop you exceeded our expectations. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was unique and delicious. Dylan’s thoughtful, safety, and no drama approach to all aspects ensured that every sail and anchorage were enjoyed by all the guests. I don’t think we could have asked for better hosts. Simply amazing! Wonderful all the way. Dylan and Gi, We had the trip of a lifetime with you on the Odyssea. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect trip. This was our first charter and truly a dream come true! We will carry all the beautiful memories with us forever and smile when we think of you. I can’t imagine having a finer Captain and “Chef de exellence!!” What a magical team you make! All your hard work looks effortless to everyone on board. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and may we meet again…Bravo…for a job well done. Thank you Dylan and Gi, for an amazing adventure and wonderful, fun time with the BEST cuisine we have experienced, ever! Patient, cheerful, courteous, professinal, resourceful, empathetic, and super fun! You set the 5 star standard by which ALL other charters will be compared! And an extra thanks for taking care of us sickies!17 - 24 May 2022
Dylan and Gi, We had a wonderful time! Thank you for your expertise and hospitality. This trip lived up to expectations, solely because of you two. Appreciate you both putting us on pretty views, great food and drink and fun side trips.28 May - 4 June 2022
Dylan and Gi, This was a trip of a lifetime and it couldn’t have been any better. We loved everything about it.

You are an exceptional captain and from the bottom of our heart we truly thank you for giving some amazing memories! Calm seas and blue skies always for you both! Hope we meet again! Dylan and Gi, Thank you for the good food, laughs, dives, and the memories. Wish you all the best! Thank you for all the great memories, and for being patient with us every step of the way. These memories are unforgettable and for this I thank you both. Thank you for the amazing trip. I wasn’t expecting it to be the way it was. I really wish we could’ve stayed longer to see more. Hope we meet again.18 - 25 June 2022

The food was spectacular - love the mahi mango app - so good! We are waiting for your cookbook Gi! Fave places - Brewers Bay, the Baths, cliff jumping, soggy dollar, that deserted island! Thank you!19-26 Nov 2022
Dylan and Gi, Our family looked forward to this trip with wonderful expectations of enjoying the sailing, the islands, the water, the food, the diving, the snorkeling, etc. all of it was perfect! We did not expect, however for all of those wonderful things to be superceded by the enjoyment we experienced by just getting to know both of you! Not only are you both amazing professionals at your job, but you are wonderful people! I appreciated the example you set for our children. We will never forget this trip, which far exceeded all of our expectations in every aspext! Thank you for making our 30th anniversary celebration so amazing!10-17 Dec 2022

Dylan and Gi, Our family has looked forward to this trip for over a year now. Our tandem sailing with our friends the Elwers and Port To Vino was fantastic. All our expectations were surpassed. You two are so very professional and very personable - you became part of our family on this sailing. Thank you for all the wonderful water sports - sling shot was amazing, snorkeling, scuba diving, dice/board games at night - too much to mention. We hope you will come visit us in Idaho so we can show you our beautiful state!

Dylan & Gi, 3 times we’ve chartered w/you and you both never cease to delight, impress and care for all of us. Every location so carefully selected with everyone so well attended to. Gi’s food was awesome at every meal. Juggling allergies and making things delicious is a talent. Gi’s laugh is so contagious! Both of you company is also thoroughly enjoyed. Oh, the patience w/the water sports should earn you sainthood Dylan. I’m sure I’m forgetting something so just comprehensively THANK YOU! Ps. See you next year for round 4 if you’ll have us!1 - 8 Feb 24
Dylan, Gi, and Mario: When I received the text from Eloise on Dec 9 “BVI for my birthday. First week of February. Ya’ll in?” Well of course I texted back, “I’m totally in.” Planning began and excitement grew not knowing what to expect for this week in BVI. Dylan (captain) - thank you for taking us to so many beautiful bays, teaching us lots of fun games, sharing all your knowledge about the BVI, and your constant attention to empty drinks :) Thank you for being kind to me on Big Mabel. Gi (Ninja) and chef extraordinaire: each meal full of flavour and beautifully prepared. You have a true gift and we can’t wait to attempt your recipes. Your laughter (even your snorts :)) are contagious. It was so much fun, all of us sitting around the table spending hours laughing and playing games. Mario ( Mr. Hospitality): the minute we came up those stairs you had our coffee either already prepared or close to it. Somehow you knew when we needed a refill - oh that’s right - you called it hospitality intuition. Be prepared for a rematch in B.S. :) I can honestly say this is my trip of a lifetime. What an honor to be on the Odyssea this week.

“The best things in life are the people we love (and met), the places we’ve been and the memories we’ve made along the way.” You are all gracious hosts that made me feel like I was part of the ships family. I will cherish every memory made with our short time together. Your passion for what you do is demonstrated in all the perfect details. “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste it, to experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” Eleanor Rosevelt.

Dylan, Gi, & Mario We would like to wish you all a heartfelt gratitude for such a special week on the Odyssea. Gi constantly out does herself with each and every meal. Dylan is always able to navigate to the most unique & exceptional anchor locations. He was also “kind” enough to introduce us to the game of liar’s dice. All of us were very impressed with the addition of Mario. We appreciated his sweet disposition and top notch gin & tonics. Until next time…Cheers!
24 Feb - 1 March 24

Odyssea Crew - When I think of how to describe this trip, the best word that comes to mind is … Incredible! Having a stomach that doesn’t have ‘its’ “sea legs”, I was quite concerned about coming. HOWEVER, there was never a moment when I didn’t feel that my happiness and comfort was their priority. This trip and CREW completely outdid our expectations! Being a 62 year old wife, mother, daughter…I can’t remember when I’ve felt SO COMPLETELY SPOILED! And, SO relaxed! Can’t imagine ever sailing with ANY other crew. We LOVE them ALL! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, kindness, hospitality and beautiful smiles! :)

Mario, you kept up with this crews drinks and you make a killer pina colada! I really enjoyed watching you all work. It was interesting to see the hand signals + coordination it takes to sail, anchor, and leave crowded bays. You all work so seemlessly together. This was a huge bucket list item for us and we are so glad you were the crew that helped us check the box. We will NEVER forget this trip! Thank you for everything! We wish you all the best!
