A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
Step onto the expansive aft deck, where the scent of salt air mingles with the subtle aroma of a freshly prepared barbecue. This is the heart of al fresco living, framed by panoramic views of turquoise bays. Settle into the plush seating with a cool drink, or watch the crew prepare the day’s catch. The outdoor shower ensures a refreshing rinse after a swim, keeping the ocean close, yet contained.
Sun-Drenched Foredeck
Forward, the catamaran's broad foredeck transforms into a private sun-worshipper’s haven. Sprawl across the generous sun loungers, feeling the warmth of the Caribbean sun on your skin, the gentle spray from the bow a cooling caress. Here, the horizon stretches uninterrupted, offering an ideal vantage point for spotting dolphins or simply losing oneself in the vastness of the open sea.
Light-Filled Saloon
Within, the saloon offers a bright, airy refuge from the midday sun. Large windows frame the passing scenery, ensuring you never feel disconnected from the stunning surroundings. An inviting seating area encourages convivial conversation, perhaps over a board game or a film on the TV. The integrated indoor audio system provides the perfect soundtrack to your moments of relaxation.
The Culinary Hub
The galley is a vibrant space, where the chef orchestrates culinary delights tailored to your preferences. From light, fresh lunches to more elaborate evening meals, every dish is a celebration of local flavours and seasonal produce. Special dietary requirements are not just accommodated but embraced, ensuring every guest enjoys a personalised and memorable gastronomic journey.
Integrated Swim Platform
At the stern, the integrated swim platform beckons. This seamless extension of the yacht provides effortless access to the inviting waters. Whether you're heading out for a paddleboard excursion, preparing for a snorkel, or simply enjoying a refreshing dip, this dedicated space ensures every aquatic adventure begins and ends with ease and elegance.
Accommodation
Five well-appointed cabins provide peaceful sanctuaries for up to ten guests. Each space is designed with comfort and privacy in mind, featuring subtle lighting and thoughtful storage. The layout ensures a harmonious balance between shared living areas and personal retreats. Crisp linens and a tranquil ambiance promise restful nights, preparing you for another day of Caribbean exploration. The gentle rocking of the catamaran lulls you to sleep, a constant reminder of your oceanic escape.
Dining aboard is an artful experience, curated to your palate. From vibrant, freshly grilled seafood prepared on the outdoor BBQ to sophisticated multi-course meals, the chef tailors every menu. Enjoy sun-drenched breakfasts on the aft deck, casual lunches with the gentle breeze, or elegant dinners under a canopy of stars. Special dietary requests are met with creative flair, ensuring every meal is a highlight.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the yacht itself is a haven of wellness. The vast deck spaces encourage sunbathing and quiet contemplation, while the crystal-clear Caribbean waters offer the ultimate natural therapy. Engage in invigorating water sports or simply float on a mat, allowing the ocean to soothe your senses. The fresh sea air and gentle motion of the yacht contribute to a profound sense of rejuvenation.
The toy chest overflows with options for aquatic exhilaration. Glide across the surface on paddleboards, feel the spray with wakeboards and water skis for both adults and children, or explore secluded coves on a kneeboard. Floating mats provide lazy relaxation, while the towable tube promises exhilarating fun. For the adventurous, big game fishing gear awaits to test your angling prowess.

Brendan Ronan
United States · English
Brendan fell in love with sailing watching the 1983 America’s Cup in Newport (still jokes that he is upset that we lost that one) and fantasized of a life aboard a boat ever since. Growing up in New Hampshire, he spent as much time as possible either in or on the frigid water at his families summers house in Maine, learning and enjoying every moment away from dry land. Then he went off to college in Florida, chasing the warm weather and adventure he always dreamed of. He has always had a love for travel and scoured the travel magazines looking at the exotic lands and places he wanted to see and experience. As they say, life gets in the way sometimes and until a few years ago he would say “my international travel experience was pretty much limited to EPCOT!” Ha Ha. After a career in NYC mixing sound for Television and Film and then reconnecting with with his High School dream girl Karen (she was the super hot athletic girl, he was the dorkish A/V squad type) he decided there was no time like the present to make the most of life and make the move to Florida and then into the yachting world so he could show people the natural beauty and experiences of the Virgin Islands! Brendan loves meeting and entertaining new friends each charter and his Captain's drinks of the day are something to look forward to! He loves making drinks for his guests as it is a great time of the day to relax and enjoy friends and family while watching the sunset! Whether sailing or motoring to the next adventure, you will always find Brendan incredibly happy with a smile on his face. Brendan enjoys every minute of every day, living the life he dreamed of for so long, and truly appreciates even the smallest things that life has to offer. There is no doubt you will enjoy spending time with Brendan as he is so incredibly helpful and fun and makes people around him feel happy and special too.
Karen Rogers
United States · English
Karen grew up in New Hampshire and moved to Florida for college, following her love of athletics but mainly following her love of the warm weather. Her true passion for traveling blossomed in graduate school when her fellow students (who were from Europe) invited her over, and off she went living the backpack life! Eventually, her new career as a commercial real estate broker finally pulled her back home but it didn’t take her long to figure out that she could work and travel too! Whatever rainbow or fun adventure she was chasing, she always went back to Florida to work a little and spend time with her wonderful family. For years she lived and loved her extensive travels all over the world, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures and foods, so when the opportunity to work on a yacht came up in a conversation on a plane to Hungary, she was all in! She then found another perfect blend of what she loved in life…travel, food, adventures, and people! So, Karen started her career in yachting in Croatia where she began cooking for guests on their magical vacations. She creates delicious meals, snacks, and treats for her guests that make their spirits and their tummies happy! She has been honing her skills in the Virgin Islands for the past few years where she loves preparing delicious food for her guests and making sure they eat to their heart's content! After all of her travels around this amazing world, it is incredible that she reconnected with her high school friend, Brendan (who was almost literally the boy next door) and they started the next chapter of their lives together! You may never find another person like Karen in this amazing world, the combination of her magnetic smile and infectious laugh, incredible personality and love for people, animals, and nature will put a smile on your face for a long long time, even after you return from your vacation in paradise.

What a yacht like BLUE PEPPER costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on BLUE PEPPER is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 18m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
