Hapgood Charter: Sun, Salt, and Sarah’s Birthday Bash

Day 1: A Birthday Start in Paradise

There’s no better way to kick off a charter than with a birthday—and Sarah’s celebration set the tone for the entire trip. From the moment the group stepped onboard in Trellis Bay, their energy was electric. This was a crew ready to enjoy every second.

For the first night, we made our way to Diamond Cay, tucking in safely away from the north swell. It was the perfect calm introduction to life onboard. But this group didn’t waste a second—straight off the boat and off to explore the famous Bubbly Pool.

On the way back, priorities were clear… making sure the bar stools were still secure and not “flying away.” A good sign of what kind of fun week lay ahead.

Dinner was served back onboard, and not long after, the boat fell into complete silence. After a full day of travel and excitement, everyone crashed early—you could’ve heard crickets across the bay.

Day 2: Beach Days & Battle Scars

The next morning, we cruised over to Soggy Bay where the group soaked up the soft white sand and enjoyed a few well-earned Painkillers.

From there, it was on to Foxy’s—an iconic stop. Michelle and Joel were determined to leave their mark, hanging their flag from the ceiling. But the moment wasn’t without sacrifice… Michelle had a run-in that left her big toe worse for wear. Let’s just say, some skin was left behind.

Later, we made our way to Norman Island for the night. After a relaxed afternoon, thirst kicked in again and the crew headed to the legendary Willy T for drinks and stories.

Day 3: Saltwater Lessons & Snorkel Spots

The morning started gently as we moved to The Caves for a snorkel. Crystal-clear water, vibrant marine life—the kind of experience that reminds you why you’re here. Next stop: The Indians. Only Chris and his wife were keen to jump in, and Chris got a proper taste of the ocean… quite literally, with a big mouthful of saltwater.

Day 4: Toys Out & Full Relaxation

We cruised over to Peter Island, settling in for a day of pure enjoyment. After lunch, the toys came out—and the fun really began.

Chris was first up on the foil, while Joel took on the seabob. The result? Plenty of laughs, a few wipeouts, and a whole lot of good energy.

The day wound down perfectly with dinner onboard after a mix of watersports and relaxed lounging.

Day 5: Sailing, Pranks & The Baths

After breakfast, we set sail toward The Baths, enjoying a beautiful stretch under sail. Steve stepped into the captain’s role for a bit, asking plenty of questions and clearly loving every second behind the wheel.

Meanwhile, Chris decided to kick off the morning with a prank on Sarah—let’s just say it involved some fake accessories and plenty of laughter.

After lunch, the group headed ashore to explore The Baths, making the most of it by hopping between bars and soaking in the atmosphere.

Later that evening, we moved up to North Sound, where they enjoyed dinner ashore at Saba Rock.

Day 6: Anegada Adventures & Birthday Celebrations

A longer sail brought us to Anegada, where the guests grabbed mini mokes and headed off to explore the island.

Steve once again took his role as “Captain” seriously on the way over—clearly a new passion unlocked.

The evening was all about Sarah. Back onboard, Xander prepared a birthday cake, and the group celebrated properly before heading out to dinner at the Lobster Trap. Drinks flowed, laughter carried across the table, and the birthday girl had her moment.

Day 7: Sand, Sun & One Last Chase

The next morning, we stopped at Guano Bay for lunch and beach time. The guests made the most of it… bringing back what felt like half the beach with them in the form of sand.

We then moved to Brewer’s Bay for the night. Always full of surprises, Chris decided he was going to try catch a tarpon—with his bare hands. Ambitious, to say the least.

Final Day: Cane Garden Send-Off

For their final day, we headed to Cane Garden Bay. Instead of staying onboard, the group chose to spend the day ashore—fully embracing island life one last time.

They explored the rum distillery, hopped from bar to bar, and only made their way back to the boat later that evening.
