January 2023

If you have not sailed on a Bali 5.4, you should. We have chartered numerous cats and own a Lagoon. Bali has really done something special with the way they have opened the boat up with the 5.4. We had 4 couples plus the crew onboard and you always felt like you had a place to socialize with all 12 people or find your alone time. The captain and chef, Andre and Jana, were fabulous. They made you feel like family and took super great care of us. The food was tremendous. The sailing was incredible (very awesome having a captain that actually wants to be involved if you want.) The itinerary was great, captain gave recommendations based on the weather but left it up to us. Captain Andre steered us to super fun little hangouts that I didn't know about in the USVI or BVI even though I thought I knew the area well. The Bali 5.4 makes the trip, it is an incredible boat. It was extra special because of how well this boat was kept, and the crew. The captain would routinely ask/suggest that if we wanted a happy hour swim platform he would lower the hydraulic dinghy platform and move the dinghy to the side, giving a perfect play area (actually at any time of the day, but at happy hour having it just above the water line helped keep the drinks above the water line.) I can't say enough good things about chef Jana. The main reason to crew a boat is to take away all the hard jobs, and she made putting out fabulous meals and snacks look easy (as we all know it is not.) She also handled our group of extremely varied dietary requirements very well. It was a trip of a lifetime and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We just returned from the best vacation ever! Our very capable captain, Andre, and chef/first mate Jana, were just wonderful - they radiated warmth and welcome and worked seamlessly together to make sure our every moment aboard was the best it could be. Jana's meals were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious and she kept the tropical cocktails flowing! Can't wait to plan our next adventure!

We have gone on a catamaran cruise through the Virgin Islands for a family trip a few times and have found that the Captain & Chef can definitely make or break the trip. Luckily for us, Captain Andre & Chef Jana made it one of our favorite and most memorable family trips we’ve ever had! Captain Andre always kept us on our toes with both new and familiar experiences. He tailored everything to our preferences and suggested great activities/locations that we had never experienced before (just don’t ask to see his dance moves). His personality and expertise in yachting kept our whole family engaged, active and begging to stay another week. Chef Jana will blow you away from the first meal that is prepared upon arrival to her specialty drinks and every snack and meal to follow. One of our family members is gluten free and Chef Jana always made sure she had her own special meal, if necessary. Jana has a keen eye for guest preferences and flawlessly tailored each meal to our family’s taste. She is also highly organized and keeps the boat clean and comfortable throughout the trip. Andre & Jana make a great team and went above and beyond to make our trip fun, exciting and unforgettable. Their hospitality was through the roof and they always made sure we were laughing & having a good time. Their knowledge of the islands, maritime skill and caring approach made this trip the best we’ve ever been on. They are the best duo to have and all around great people! We were so fortunate to have had them lead our cruise and remain in contact with them to this day. We could not recommend Captain Andre and Chef Jana enough and will most definitely be back on a trip with them as soon as possible. Any group who books a charter with them is in for the trip of a lifetime!

Another Amazing Trip with Andre and Jana!

On Christmas Eve 2023 my teenage kids, their friends, and I arrived in the Bahamas excited to board Zuri3 for our second charter with captain Andre and chef Jana. We were so excited to be spending the week with them again. Our first trip to the BVI’s in April 2023 was a very special experience and largely incredible and unique because of our hosts. I highly recommend jumping on board and spending the week with them. The Bali 5.4 catamaran was beautiful. It was spacious, clean, new, comfortable, and well provisioned. While I thought that those criteria were most important for an enjoyable charter, we quickly learned that in fact, it was the professionalism, knowledge and kindness of our hosts that really made the trip so special. They were amazing. From the moment we stepped aboard Andre and Jana made us feel so welcome and cared for. They had prepared a custom itinerary and incredible menu based on both a conversation we had about a week before the trip and their ability to shift on the fly as our needs changed throughout the week. Every single meal Jana prepared was a gourmet experience and her bartending skills didn’t disappoint either! Andre was a great captain and quickly gave us confidence that we were in good hands. He showed us some really cool exploring and snorkeling spots that no one else seemed to know about and was attentive to the kids (and me) if we needed help with our gear, going paddle boarding, fishing, or were unsure about anything else. He was also an excellent teacher. Trip number 2 was another big success, and we can’t wait to get back down to the islands to see them again soon! Ian G and Family, April and December 2023
