The Stoll family’s charter kicked off with pure excitement as they made their way down the dock at Village Cay —big smiles, buzzing energy, and ready for an unforgettable week on the water. We set off toward Cooper Island , with everyone relaxing up on the bow… completely unaware that a few cheeky waves were about to splash over and give them a refreshing (and hilarious) welcome aboard! Cooper Island – Straight In! Once we arrived, there was no time wasted —the first thing everyone did was jump straight into the ocean . Later in the afternoon, the rest of the family (who were chartering on another boat) came over to join us for swimming and relaxing behind the boat. After a full day of travelling and ocean fun, everyone enjoyed dinner onboard and turned in early for a well-deserved rest.

Early Birds & Sleep-In Crew

Charles very quickly earned the title of “early bird” , waking up around 6 a.m. each morning to enjoy the sunrise (and the peace and quiet!). Meanwhile, Ella and Khloe were absolutely our sleep-in crew —getting them out of bed was a daily mission! After breakfast, we cruised over to Virgin Gorda , enjoyed lunch onboard, and then headed straight to the famous Baths . Pieter guided them through the incredible rock formations, followed by a scenic ride back to the boat. From there, the family was dropped off at CocoMaya for dinner ashore while we repositioned over to Trellis Bay for later pickup. Charles and the family loved the nighttime ride back—taking in all the lights and atmosphere of Trellis. Back onboard, a cocktail or two wrapped up the evening before everyone headed to bed… because the next day was going to be a big one.

Fishing, E-Foiling & Resort Adventures

The next morning, Xander packed a full cooler of food because breakfast wouldn’t be onboard—at 8 a.m. sharp , Salt Shaker arrived to collect the family for a fishing trip. 

Pieter and Xander jokingly warned them that if they didn’t come back with fish, they wouldn’t be allowed back onboard… and the guests returned proudly with two tuna , full of excitement and very pleased with themselves! While they were out, we repositioned to Oil Nut Bay . Once back onboard, Ella and Khloe headed over to the resort to explore, while Charles and Erica stayed onboard, enjoyed lunch, and got straight into some watersports. Charles bravely hopped on the e-foil and actually got the hang of it surprisingly quickly! Erica opted for a much more relaxing afternoon—working on her tan and enjoying the calm vibes. With the girls still ashore, Charles and Erica made the most of the peaceful moment and enjoyed an afternoon nap on the shaded bow —the dream! When Ella and Khloe returned, they were full of stories from the resort and very proud to announce they had tried their first piña coladas with alcohol … and loved them. 😅

Anegada & Lobster Night

The following morning brought a long sail to Anegada . The seas were a little rough and everyone felt slightly seasick along the way, but spirits stayed high—especially when we caught two barracudas en route! Once anchored, breakfast was served, and then it was off for an Anegada land tour . The day was filled with sunshine, sightseeing, and plenty of cocktails. Returning to a spotless boat, everyone freshened up before heading to Lobster Trap for dinner. Charles took lobster night very seriously and enjoyed an enormous lobster , while the others went with salmon.

Tattoos, Snorkeling & Special Moments

The next morning, Ella and Khloe joined the other boat for an ocean tour where they learned how conch is caught and prepared, and then enjoyed snorkeling with the rest of the family. Back onboard, it was just Charles and Erica who cruised over to Cane Garden Bay for a more relaxed day—and even got tattoos done by Sky! That evening ended with a stunning sunset… and the unexpected bonus of spotting a SpaceX launch , which was such a cool moment. 

Dinner was surf and turf , and a notable milestone: Khloe tried steak for the very first time!

Sandy Spit, Soggy Dollar & Island Fun

The next morning, we headed to Sandy Spit —famous for the Corona beer ads and looking exactly like a postcard. Pieter shuttled them over by dinghy and they swam back to the boat before we made our way to the Soggy Dollar Bar . As expected, everyone rushed ashore for Painkillers , and on the beach, Ella and Khloe were absolutely thrilled to meet the baby goats —definitely one of their favourite moments of the trip! On the way back, Charles unfortunately lost his bank card. A quick “search” turned into a shopping trip… no card found, but he came back with a T-shirt and a very questionable captain’s hat. 😭😂 After lunch, we popped into Foxy’s for a few drinks so the family could spend more time together before cruising on to Privateer Bay . We arrived just before dark, enjoyed dinner onboard, and Pieter even tried his luck fishing later that evening.

Rainbows, Snorkels & Final Adventures

The next morning greeted us with rain… and a beautiful rainbow (or two!). Still battling to wake Ella and Khloe, Pieter and I came up with a plan: blasting chicken sounds through a speaker . It worked instantly. The girls popped up laughing and the day was officially saved.

After breakfast, we headed to the Indians for snorkeling , then back to Privateer Bay to explore the caves. The day was all about enjoying the ocean, snorkeling, and soaking up the surroundings. Later, we visited the Willy T , where drinks were flowing and the family enjoyed a few brave jumps off the boat. From there, we cruised to Pieter Island . Charles even helped Xander with tying lines to the rocks, and once the engines were off, Pieter proudly announced: “Pool open!” 

Everyone jumped in, enjoying seabobs and water time, and Khloe even gave the e-foil a go—complete with a few impressive wipeouts along the way! After an action-packed final day, the family enjoyed their last dinner onboard and headed to their cabins to begin packing—ending an unforgettable charter filled with laughter, adventure, and some seriously special memories.
