Captain: Fraser Cameron
Boating, fishing, spear fishing, surfing, living off the land and adventure in general runs in Fraser’s blood. Fraser started out dingy sailing, and then coastal cruising on small sail boats and power boats on the northeastern coast of New Zealand before heading offshore to work in the superyacht industry. He is a natural captain, a qualified marine engineer and has a Bachelor of Science in Marine and Coastal Ecology. With an insatiable appetite for adventure, this captain is well suited to guests looking to get off the beaten track to search for adventure and adrenaline. After five years in the private luxury yacht charter scene, he is well seasoned in what it takes to provide a high quality, luxury charter.
Olivia started cooking at a young age and through the years has developed a wholesome culinary style that is sure to satisfy after a busy day on the water. With more than 10 years experience in the hospitality industry and through managerial roles she knows what it takes to provide quality service. Olivia became fluent in Spanish while living there at 18 and is keen to practice her skills with any Spanish speaking guests. As a family, Fraser and Olivia sailed their previous catamaran, an Outremer 45, from NZ to Fiji which they then circumnavigated and then returned to NZ. Over the six month trip Olivia developed great practical sailing knowledge. Olivia is also a marine biologist and a keen water woman who is currently learning to surf and spearfish when she isn’t either homeschooling their three gorgeous kids or completing the many daily tasks she is responsible for with a life at sea.

Reviews
You two! You are both brilliant, and you absolutely smashed it. Beyond being terrific hosts, you brought such a cool, easy vibe to the week, and I know I can speak for all of us when I say we loved being in your company.
Olivia, the immense workload of making so much incredibly delicious and impressive food was astonishing (and without a break! (We’re so glad we skipped the restaurants!)). Fraser, thank you for being our barista, filleting our fish, making sure we were having fun, keeping us safe, and steering the ship (and more and more, I’m sure).
I miss those cappuccinos. The memory of coffee being delivered to sip while taking a morning dip is a favorite. And the trays full of piña coladas and spicy margs. And the freshly harvested coconut milk in our meals. And the boom jump and water toys, lounging on the trampoline while we sailed, and the gorgeous spinnaker. All of it.
And the boat! Wow — Awatea was just so lovely, comfortable, and perfect.
As my work and life to-do lists continue to grow and our three-year-old becomes more challenging, I find myself pulling from the reserves this trip banked for a little serenity. It was such a luxury to slow down. I remember being called to do so immediately on the walk from the airport to Awatea. Fraser, your pace on that walk was a perfect welcome — easing us into what has to be the most relaxed and relaxing vacation I’ve ever known.
I was so content to simply stare at the horizon and that stunning blue water. I tried reading my book but kept reading the same sentence over and over, so I gave up — my surroundings were far more compelling. And losing my grip on my phone and laptop was a priceless gift.
We know there’s an incredible amount of work happening behind the scenes to make a week like this feel so effortless, and we’re deeply grateful for all of it. On behalf of all eight of us, thank you. One million times.
Fondly,
Sarah
PS. Fraser — David reminded me of a conversation the eight of us were having around the table one evening about mustaches (one of the many dumb conversations you were probably forced to overhear). I’m sorry about that. We're idiots. And for the record — you look great with a mustache.
The Boat & Space: The 63ft Balance catamaran is wonderful. Even with nine of us, we never felt like we were on top of each other. The layout is modern and airy, with plenty of spots to tuck away for a quiet moment or gather as a group. Impeccably clean, barefoot luxury style and in cabin heads for everyone it’s just right for relaxing time.
The Crew (Fraser & Olivia) What makes Awatea special is that it’s owner-operated. Fraser and Olivia aren't just staff; they are master hosts who genuinely love what they do. Fraser is a wealth of knowledge with a great sense of humor and sense of adventure and Olivia’s cooking is 5-star quality—how she produces such amazing food, never repeating a meal and with spot on wine pairings on a boat for nine people has us all convinced she has a bit of magic. Fraser is quite the mixologist and his specialty cocktails that match the dinner theme were terrific. We cannot say enough about this charming and highly skilled couple. We arrived as guests and left as friends.
The Adventure: True to their name, they delivered on the "Adventure." From E-foiling and wake boarding to incredible snorkeling and deserted secret beaches, fishing and hiking there was never a dull moment. They kept our entire group ages 25-67 completely captivated and active the entire week.
The Verdict If you want a "white glove" but sterile corporate charter, look elsewhere. But if you want a soulful, high-energy, and deeply personal adventure on a world-class sailing vessel, book Awatea. Everyone who went said best vacation ever - and we are a fairly sophisticated group of world travelers. We’re already trying to figure out how to get back on board.
Have a great day,
Olivia
Our Thanksgiving trip with Awatea Adventures November 2025 was, quite simply, the trip of a lifetime. We were a large group of nine, which can often feel cramped or chaotic on a yacht, but Fraser and Olur crew with incredible grace, professionalism, and "Kiwi" charm.

Props to Olivia for the food, my family has very specific eating restrictions and she did an INCREDIBLE job with everything. Also props to Fraser for the sourdough bread he makes, it’s the best! You will not be disappointed. We had so much fun, such an amazing experience!
A party of nine including five teenage boys (!), we spoke with them before the trip about our interests and prior experiences. We immediately felt at ease with their Kiwi charm. They then planned a sail throughout the BVI, visiting some known and many not-so-known gems throughout the islands.
The boat itself was beautiful. Six cabins. Six bathrooms. Underwater scooters, powered hydrofoil, scuba, snorkeling, float ring, wakeboard, tubing, paddleboards, water golfing. Fresh herbs grown onboard. A charcoal grill. Sourdough bread baked fresh onboard each day. A projector and screen that allowed the @philles phanatic among us to catch Jhoan Duran’s debut on our last night. Full kitchen and bar. A friggin pizza oven.
The days were packed with adventure while somehow being relaxing and refreshing in a Caribbean sort of way. Fraser is probably the most interesting man in the world: blue water sailor, nautical engineer, marine biologist, deep sea fisherman, dive master, cliff diver, rock climber, surfer, mixologist, barista, sourdough maker. He dove under the boat at night with a headlamp and screwdriver and fixed a generator. He literally bested a shark in hand to fin combat (look at their Instagram profile!).
Meanwhile, Olivia is probably the only person on the planet who is Fraser’s equal. She’s also the only person I’ve met in the past 25 years who made my wife actually admit that she cannot top something culinarily. I have no idea how she did it, but every single meal was unique and spectacular- and she took care of nine people for a week. She was also a sneaky enabler of Fraser’s thrill-seeking (“18 year-old you would do that, Fraser”).
Their most impressive feat is that they were able to captivate five teenage boys for six days. Their energy is boundless.
I’m out of superlatives. It rocked.
We can’t thank them enough for this experience and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who likes awesome people and fun risks.
They greeted us warmly, gave us a tour, and throughout the course of the week, became friends. We were so sad to have to say goodbye to them!
They were consistently cheerful, helpful and available, even when they had worked a long day and into the night.
They took the time to hear what we'd like to do, and to share their considerable expertise with us.
They encouraged a wide array of activities, and provided any instruction needed.
All three are incredibly experienced which contributed to our ability to sit back, relax, and enjoy the trip.
Frazier was clearly an incredibly competent, skilled and experienced captain. He was willing to
explore, but the safety of the guests, crew and his boat were forefront. He had a general plan for our week, incorporating weather/wind forecasts, etc., but took the time before we arrived, and each day, to hear of our preferences.
We were offered options for adventure (hiking, jumping off rocks or the boom, visiting out-of-the-way beaches to explore, snorkeling and exploring, etc), as well as the ability to just relax in any one of the cozy seats and cushions to read or enjoy a cocktail and conversation.
Frazier and his family have clearly explored the "less traveled" aspects of the BVI and he and Olivia were incredibly knowledgable, which allowed them to show us "less traveled" inlets and harbors, or more "touristy" areas, at our preference.

I don't know what we expected, but the reality blew us away! Olivia could be a chef at the best restaurants in the world.
In her little galley kitchen, she came up with fresh bread every day, 3 meals a day that were delicious, varied, and beautifully served.
She used locally sourced ingredients to make fresh and delicious meals and "starters" from a range of world cultures (we had a "Spanish day", and "Middle East" day, etc.)
She caters to individual preferences (even those of us who don't eat seafood, despite the fact that it was from the ocean to the table in under 2 hours).
She took the time to listen to our preferences, and incorporate them into three meals + extras each day.
I'm not sure how many boats have herb gardens but Olivia utilized hers in most meals. Coffee was made to order each day.
The size and layout was incredibly comfortable.
Staterooms had comfortable beds, were spotlessly clean, with well-appointed Heads. It's hard to find king berths and Awatea had two of them.
The crew kept the entire boat clean and neat, despite our best efforts to leave equipment and "toys" around.
There was plenty of room to move around, so we never felt cramped or confined. The trampolines on the bow were a terrific spot to enjoy both sailing and sunset cocktails.
They had "all the toys" for water fun and encouraged (and taught) us to use them.
Awatea had all the toys you could imagine, and the crew were skilled and knowledgeable and willing to share their time and experience in instructing and encouraging.
They had good beach-games, and I'm happy to say that the women beat the men soundly in our game of Cups (Cubes??).
Frazier would take us to beaches, hiking trails or other on-shore locations and would guide us in other times of leisure activities.
Leisure time was spent reading, sailing, watching the islands pass by, and conversing among ourselves or with the 3 crew members.
Jess and Olivia offered excellent cocktails, and one night, encouraged us to make our own .. with a bit of competition to see who's was the best.Again, enough cannot be said about how much the crew of the Awatea impacted our experience.
Whether you are a family with kids/teenagers, or group of friends of any age, Awatea is your boat.
It is truly a bespoke experience with Frasier, Olivia and Jess providing an incredible trip to remember.
...given the circumstances of our charter, they did an absolutely amazing job. All the food we had was incredible and everyone loved it.
Fraser sat down with us several times during the trip to give us itinerary options and to check in to see what we wanted to do. He listened and paid attention to the things we liked to do and made recommendations on where to go next and what to do. He really did such a great job making sure we had a memorable trip.
Fraser was very good at paying attention to what we like to do and suggesting activities based on that. He was checking in constantly to see what we wanted to do next.
I honestly don't have one negative thing to say about. It was perfect.
My kids have already been asking if we can go out with Fraser and Olivia again!
The weather was perfect and it was a lovely, much-needed respite!
The crew was absolutely delightful. Captain Fraser was an excellent captain who showed us many beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots. He found a perfect windy spot for Kenny to kite-board, twice.
Olivia was an excellent cook with a lovely demeanor and Jess was very accommodating and so sweet. They were sweet enough to make a reservation for Kenny and I to dine at one of the restaurants while the kids stayed on the boat and had a blast playing board-games with the crew. The boat was very clean and comfortable.
We have only glowing things to say about our experience on Awatea.
Thank you again for a wonderful vacation.
We are home now. Just wanted to leave you a review. Our family had a wonderful week on the Awatea with Fraser, Olivia and Jess. They are high quality individuals with a wealth of sea going experience. They are kind and friendly hosts, hard working and their presentation is on a professional level. They are personally experienced in sourcing farm fresh meat, fish and produce, grow their own herbs and presenting the most well made highly nutritious 5 star meals. Olivia baked fresh bread for us multiple times a day. Jess kept us from going thirsty and made us the most delicious drinks. Fraser is a highly skilled captain, fisherman and expert on the ocean. Each day we sailed and explored all there is to see in the BVI, they took our kids tubing, efoiling, snorkeling, we all paddle boarded and enjoyed swimming, playing and laying about in the ocean. Definitely a life changing experience that we won’t soon forget.
Best Regards,
James
The boat itself was extremely comfortable, with plenty of spots for us to spread out, both in the sun or in the shade. Our bed was very comfortable, and the bedrooms as well as the entire boat were always kept spotless. The boat's generator was turned off at night, so it was very quiet, peaceful and easy to sleep.
I highly recommend the boat Awatea with its wonderful crew to anyone who wants to take a boat vacation. It was fabulous!
Carrie
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade?
We literally have NO NOTES for this yacht! In fact, we could not believe how clean it was! The bedding was so comfortable that all four of us slept more soundly than at home. During lots of sun when we needed shade, there were always shades to be drawn outside or they created canopies for us on the fly. Awatea was just gorgeous.
Did you use all the water toys? If you were diving, how did you like the area?
We experimented with all the e-Foil which was a hit, the paddles board, fishing rods, flotations and we talked bout the boards, but didn't go for it - we were too busy snorkeling every day and taking in the other sights! We were so impressed with how much the yacht had to offer honestly.
Where your meals excellent and fresh? Spiced with variety and beautifully presented? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
Not only did they pay attention to our likes, dislikes and preferences, but the food was out of this world. Every single meal hit every mark and then some! We love a variety and one of us has a gluten intolerance which posed absolutely no problem. We honestly have never eaten so well in a whole week than on this vacation! To boot, the fish we caught was used to make a few different dishes the next couple meals which was incredibly impressive!
How about your crew? How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
We honestly can't say enough amazing things about Fraser, Olivia and Jess. Not only are they lovely people, inside and out, they worked beautifully together and seemed to never be in our way of our huge family and also were always there for us when we needed any little thing. We felt like we were not an imposition at all and almost like we had been around them before. It takes a great gift to make people feel so welcome while also providing for them! Their knowledge on all things water, boating and fishing was just incredible. We know we only scratched the surface with them and absolutely hope to be back!
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
Perfection! Since this was our first time going, we left it open for ideas from the crew so we planned each day as it came the night before which was perfect.
Any additional thoughts?
YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY recommend Awatea to all your clients! I am still flabbergasted at how incredible they made everything. They could make any family's vacation the most special and we are recommending this on our social media because they have made such an impact for our family.
Captain Fraser and Olivia were so helpful with provisioning, setting up reservations for some dinners and lunches off boat, and creating a well thought through itinerary. They were super helpful and flexible with picking us up at the dock near our hotel in Tortola and then were able to drop us off at a resort closer to the airport that we were flying out from in Virgin Gorda.
They welcomed us onto the AWATEA with a delicious cocktail - coconut lime margarita and yummy fish tacos. We spent the afternoon at Soggy Dollar Beach and Bar. We snorkeled the Indians which was really beautiful and the boys climbed a rock with Captain Fraser and First Mate Jess and of course loved jumping off with them. They had a lot of fun Watersport equipment - wake board, a “biscuit” (we call a tube), surf board for “skurfing" behind the tender, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, and the E-Foil. The boys had a blast! We went to the Baths and spent the morning exploring, climbing, and swimming. They were really cool. We went to Anegada where we rented jeep-like vehicles and went to a beach where we searched for shells, played soccer and threw the football, and swam. Oh, and there was a place they took us that was called something like “bubbles”- we hiked to the other side of the small isle and there were rock formations creating a place for water to bubble up in and created a great jump into pool. And lastly voted one of the favorites by the boys was a “secret” rock formation that created a deep pool with high jump off points. They had an epic time!
Captain Fraser always selected great coves / quiet areas at anchoring for the boys to play on the toys and to see beautiful sunsets. He was always up for an adventure and was great teaching some of the boys new skills. Jess was so sweet and loved participating in the adventures as well. Olivia is an amazing chef! My son wants her to give me all of her recipes. I suggested she create a cookbook with all the dishes she made - including homemade bageles, bread, and English Muffins! And I loved that they had fresh herbs on the boat :-).
We ate dinner off the boat twice. First was a cool outdoor bar/ patio called Nova at Oil Nut Bay. The decor was really well done, the food & drinks were great. The “sushi boat” was a beautiful presentation as an appetizer. The 2nd night off the boat we went to Peter Island and had dinner at the newly renovated and recently opened Drake’s Steakhouse. Beautiful venue and great menu and wine list.
So, as you can see, the trip was just amazing and we really loved the entire experience. Of course the BVI’s are the draw but the crew really made it special.
The food was amazing. Olivia (the chef) made everything special for us and when you ate the food you could tell the amount of time and energy she spent making it. The best food ever!
The water sports were my favorite. I got to go wake surfing and inner tubing and snorkeling.100% my family has recommended this trip to all our friends.
Fraser and Olivia, the dynamic duo at the helm, were great. Their expertise and hospitality turned our research expeditions into seamless and enjoyable journeys. Despite the focus on our diving and underwater activities, the crew ensured that all our planned activities were executed flawlessly.
The vessel itself is a marvel—spacious, and equipped for both comfort and adventure. Whether you are a scientist on a mission or an adventurer seeking the thrill of the ocean, Awatea Adventures offers an unparalleled experience. The combination of good food, top-tier amenities, and the adventurous spirit of the crew makes for a unique and unforgettable journey.
For anyone seeking an extraordinary sailing adventure, Awatea Adventures comes highly recommended. The professionalism, warmth, and sheer excitement provided by Fraser and Olivia make it more than just a charter—it’s an adventure of a lifetime.
Highlights were: evening dinner cooked over fire on the beach, snorkling with turtles, Olivias AMAZING cooking, freshly spear-fished food from Fraser, biking to pink sand beach, and Paddle boarding + Yoga each morning with Olivia.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AWATEA ADVENTURES!!! I can't wait to book a trip to go diving in the BVI's with them. The coolest boat, the most incredible owner-operator crew (they care so much about your experience), and very reasonably priced compared to other charters.
waves, surrounded by a palette of colors in the water and sky. Diving into the ocean at any moment of choice, diving down to underwater aquariums, drift diving with the current, along side of our vessel, swimming, paddle boarding to sandbars and beaches, all at whim. Every day, the opportunity arose for a new, spectacular adventure, breathtaking scenery. Combined with Olivia's home cooking, wonderful meals and even better company, I will say 100%, hands down, this was the experience of a lifetime.
