This week has been so much fun. We did this last year but the route you designed took us to so many new and exciting places. The food was incredible! Thanks for all the pics you took for us. Even though the hike was painful, the views were incredible!
Thank you for such a wonderful week! It was even better than we imagined! Both of you made us feel welcome and so well taken care of!! Thank you for a week we will never forget!
Thank you for a fabulous week! The itinerary was perfect as we loved the stops in Bitter End, Oil Nut Bay, Anegada, Peter Island, and White Bay. Katie, the food was fantastic - hard to say what we loved best. You also coordinated some fabulous weather for us 🙂 We have love these boat trips with our dear friends for many years and each trip gets better and better! Thank yo for being so wonderful to us and I hope our paths cross again soon!
Thank you for the best week ever! We escaped the snow storm and were treated to an amazing itinerary! Each day we were treated to Katie’s delicious meals - favorites were Kebobs & Tzatziki, Poke Bowls, and Chicken Caesar, and don’t forget the Captain’s cocktails! We are sad to leave, but delighted to take all of our fabulous memories with us! Thanks again!
This was our 1st family trip out of the country and was on our bucket list for a long time. It absolutely surpassed our expectations! First & foremost our Captain Ben was the absolute best. They became part of our family & we will forever remember them. The itinerary & the places we visited were just perfect. Every location better than the next. Sailing back right now and we are already talking about our next trip. Thank you so much for the best family trip!!
Every single moment was incredible! Captain Ben was the best-skilled, calm, fun, and always finding the best anchorages, snorkeling, and trails. The food was absolutely amazing, the best creations, flavors, and they both were such a joy to be around. Every meal, cocktail, and experience far exceeded our expectations and all made with such care! We were all so well taken care of from sunrise to sunset! Thank you for such an incredible experience!
Wow!! What a fab Christmas week we've had on Sun Daze. Caydon and Tash, you are the dream crew. We have felt happy and safe at sea with you both. The food has been outstanding. The most delicious meals we have had - and we have done quite a few charters. We have been truly spoilt - captains cocktails, wakeboarding, snorkelling, floating ring....Anegada was the perfect end to a magical week. Enjoy the rest of your season!
With Love,
The St. Piers xxx
Dear Kiki and Tiago,
Thank you so much for the most amazing trip in the BVI that we could imagine! From the minute we stepped onboard, until the minute we reluctantly stepped off, the attention to detail, love, and care you guys provided was unparalleled to anything we’ve experienced before. Chef Kiki’s food was STELLAR! Every bite we had exceeded our expectations. Tiago’s expert navigation skills and knowledge of beautiful bays off the beaten track ensured perfect days on Sun Daze! From coffees to cocktails, to conversation, we appreciate so so much the effort you two made to make sure we had the best vacation EVER!
We want to sincerely thank you for an amazing week on this beautiful boat you call “home”. You made us feel so welcomed day 1, creating an environment that made us feel comfortable to enjoy this boat and with your company. Over the week we bonded and the whole family feels like you both have been friends with us for years. It has been a wonderful feeling for all of us, and we hope its the same for you. As we say its the quality of time, not quantity.
Special message to Kiki,
When said you have “pride” in your cooking, we knew what it may mean but we were not expecting Michelin star food quality and preparation every meal!! “Wow” words can’t really express the love you put into every meal you do, the details of every dish is what makes your dishes exceptional. Your preparation is hours of hard work and planning, this shows in the presentation of your dishes and the tastes of each cuisine was mouth-watering. We as a family will never forget your lobster vodka sauce pasta, your Asian fusion fish where you can taste the culture of Asia in every bite, the brioche you did on the first day we are still dreaming about the texture and taste, and the special “Kiki stores” is surely exceptional. We feel very lucky to have eaten such wonderful food made by Kiki, award winning chef! Thank you so much for sharing your cuisine and art with us. Thank you including our little Charlotte in your breakfast this morning, a memory we have captured on video for her.Special message to Tiago,
Thank you for everything you have done to keep us moving safely on this boat. We know you take pride in managing every detail of the boat from morning to night, and even after everyone is asleep. You made the family feel very safe, especially our 3 kids onboard. We were never stressed during the entire week, despite windy conditions at times because you have everything under control. We are very lucky to have such an experienced captain taking us around. Steph also learned a great deal sailing with you this week so he is very glad to have this experience. P.S. Charlotte adores you!We can keep going on but it won’t be enough. You guys truly made this vacation a very memorable one for our family. You guys are a great couple with amazing teamwork taking such care of the boat. Any owner would be so lucky to have you as their crew! Thank you again for everything!
We had the most amazing time aboard this charter for the last week! You both were phenomenal and provided the best service during our trip.
Phoebe, you are a wonderful chef with a very special gift. We wish you much success as you journey on this new venture. There is no way that people won’t love you.
Tiago, what a fantastic captain you are. Your ability to navigate the islands made our experience extraordinary. Your recommendations for food, spa services and everything in between is unmatched. So attentive to all of our needs and willingly catered to every request. You’ve spoiled us and not sure there is another that could come close.
We will miss you both! Forever grateful for the experience and ability to share it with the both of you.
Thank you from Oklahoma & Nebraska, USA. The best food from Chef Kiki; never forget you are the HBIC! Sorry we drank you out of champagne & beer (is 18 cases a record?). Tiago - Thanks for keeping us safe from the pirates and making the best shots & cappuccino w/ Baileys for our morning pick-me-up. Enjoy your new sign from Tipsys. Bill was not leaving there without it. Keep an eye out for the WEAPONS!
Tiago & Kiki -
We had an unforgettable experience this week full of fabulous food, new cocktails, and many new experiences for our families. Thank you for showing us your secret island hideaway spots and arranging ATVs and a great scuba outing. We agree with you about Peter Island—it is the most special place. Swimming with sea turtles was incredible. Thank you for making us feel at home on Christmas Day and spoiling us with a lovely brunch and a spectacular surf and turf dinner. We will never forget your kindness and the fantastic care you took of our families. We hope to return to the BVI and we hope our paths cross again. Best. Trip. Ever!

Crew Profile
CAPTAIN BEN
Captain Ben grew up in Canada, surrounded by nature, and spent his summers exploring its beautiful lakes, where his passion for boating and adventure first began. Being on the water has always been a big part of his life—whether cruising, wakeboarding, tubing, or simply relaxing in the sun.
Since then, his career has taken him to incredible places around the world. After a full season captaining crewed charters throughout the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, he developed an in-depth knowledge of the area and loves sharing its hidden gems, world-class snorkeling, vibrant beach bars, and breathtaking anchorages with guests.
Beyond the Caribbean, he's captained private charters along the coastlines of Croatia and Sicily while building his offshore experience through yacht deliveries, with passages through the Baltic Sea, the U.K.'s coastal waters, Panama to Guadeloupe, and Jamaica to the Cayman Islands. These experiences have given him broad knowledge and confidence in both coastal cruising and offshore passage making.
Whether guests are after adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both, Ben's goal is to create an unforgettable experience tailored to the group. He takes pride in a fun, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home—great music, plenty of laughs, and a passion for showing guests the very best of the islands, making every charter a trip they'll remember long after stepping ashore.
