Moon Shadow
Moon Shadow and her great team
My wife and I spent a week on the Moon Shadow for our 25th anniversary, hopping across the BVIs. It was a magical experience. The boat was luxurious and quiet. Captain Grant took us to amazing locations we hadn’t seen even though we have been to the islands so many times. First mate Juan took care of our every need and Chef Ashleigh fixed delicious meals with such a personalized touch. A memorable week!

If you are looking for a vacation that perfectly balances adventure with absolute relaxation, a sailing trip on Moon Shadow is the gold standard. We recently returned from a family trip, and it was, quite simply, the best vacation we’ve ever had. Thank you Grant, Juan and Ash!

Our family sailing trip with Grant, Juan, and Ash was truly one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever taken. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt welcomed and completely at ease thanks to the professionalism and warmth of the crew. Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging, but the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone, from the youngest to the adults, had an amazing experience. They were attentive without being intrusive, always anticipating what we might need before we even asked. Whether it was adjusting the itinerary based on our preferences, or preparing meals that suited everyone’s tastes, their service was exceptional. The sailing itself was smooth and relaxing, with breathtaking views throughout the trip. Meals on board were another highlight. Ash is a very talented Chef. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. What made this trip truly special was how effortless everything felt. We were able to fully relax and spend quality time together as a family while the crew handled all the details. If you’re considering a family sailing trip, we can’t recommend it enough, especially with a crew like this. It’s was perfect!

We had an absolutely unforgettable sailing trip! Traveling with kids can sometimes be a challenge, but Grant, Juan and Ash made everything feel effortless from start to finish. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. They struck the perfect balance between being professional and making us feel like part of the family. Our kids immediately felt comfortable, which made a huge difference. The crew went out of their way to keep them engaged, letting them help steer the boat, teaching them a bit about sailing, and pointing out marine life along the way. If you’re considering a sailing excursion with your family, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and quality family time. We’re already talking about doing it again!

We had the most amazing family trip on Moon shadow with Grant, Juan and Ash. Everything was perfect and we could not have wished for more. We had 4 small children on the boat and Grant, Juan and Ash were patient, kind and engaging. We will remember this trip and the crew for a lifetime!

The Most Unforgettable Week in the BVIs
Our 7-day New Year’s Eve catamaran trip through the British Virgin Islands was truly the best vacation we have ever experienced, and that is entirely thanks to our incredible crew: Captain Grant, Juan, and Chef Joelle.
From the moment we stepped on board, they went above and beyond to make every aspect of our trip unforgettable. Captain Grant and Juan made each day seamless and fun, setting up water toys for us daily and ensuring we got the most out of every beautiful location. They did more than guide the trip, they genuinely connected with us, taking time to sit, talk, and make us feel completely at home. One of our favorite memories was when Juan dressed up as a pirate for dinner one night. It perfectly captured how fun, thoughtful, and personalized the entire experience was.
Joelle’s cooking was absolutely phenomenal. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, rivaling some of the best restaurants. We looked forward to every single dish she created.
The level of care and attention to detail from all three of them was unmatched. Our rooms were made up each morning, every need was anticipated, and the entire experience felt both luxurious and personal.
We could not have asked for a better way to ring in the New Year. This trip was unforgettable, and it is all because of Grant, Juan, and Joelle. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

Amazing Sail in the BVI’s
We sailed with our family of four and our friends, family of 5. We have sailed the BVI two times prior. This experience was amazing. Our crew, Grant, Juan and Joelle were extremely professional and some of the best we have sailed with.
The boat was immaculate and they kept it that way throughout our trip. On a previous charter, with a different boat and crew, this was NOT the case - and it makes a huge difference! Grant was very knowledgeable and accommodating with all of our travel wishes and Juan kept the drinks flowing, toys available and provided a little comic relief here and there (Juan you know what I'm talking about *dinghy). Joelle was such an amazing chef! I can't say enough. We are a big crew with very different likes and dislikes and she kept us all happy and satisfied! Bring your appetite!
The accommodations were great. Plenty of room for all of us. I brought a LOT of clothes and was able to find room for everything! I should have brought a little less tho! Beds were comfy, showers were a good size and everything was new and up to date.
We would highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Best trip ever - 12 outta 10!!
We had the most incredible New Year’s trip aboard the Moonshadow catamaran in the British Virgin Islands—truly an experience that exceeded every expectation!
From the moment we stepped on board, everything was absolutely top-notch. Captain Grant made us feel completely at ease while expertly guiding us through some of the most beautiful waters we’ve ever seen. Juan was attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead, making sure every detail of the trip was seamless, and his cocktails did not disappoint, they were exceptional! And chef Joelle…wow. Every meal was outstanding—creative, delicious, and something we looked forward to every single day.
The combination of breathtaking scenery, perfect itinerary, and such an amazing crew made this a trip we’ll never forget. Every moment felt special, and it’s rare to find an experience that truly delivers on every level like this one did.
We’re already talking about when—not if—we’ll be booking with them again, and definitely with Grant, Juan and Joelle as our crew….. the best!! Highly, highly recommend, as Brock would say “12 outta 10”

Moon shadow and crew are the best.
We had an amazing charter experience on Moon Shadow! Captain Grant, Juan, and Chief Ashley were incredible—truly the best part of the trip. They took such great care of our family and made everything effortless and fun.
The boat itself was fantastic, and the food was some of the best we’ve ever had onboard. The crew always had great spots picked out for us, with plenty of watersports and activities, and they were so easy to work with the entire time.
Everything was spotless, well-organized, and handled with care. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend!

50th Birthday Spent on MoonShadow
We went for 50th birthdays, 5 couples. It was the best trip I’ve ever taken. The weather, the water, the boat, the captain & first mate were all beyond excellent and accommodating. Food was delicious & the overall experience was 5stars! We are still talking about it!

Moon Shadow Catamaran
Our stay on Moon Shadow was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we knew we were in for a world-class experience. The catamaran itself was stunning, well maintained and the ultimate floating villa. Our captain was Grant Surtees. His knowledge of the islands, professionalism and laid-back energy made us feel both safe and completely pampered. Our deckhand/amazing bartender/“all things fun” guy was Juan Groenewald. He and Grant make the perfect team. If you’re looking for a luxury adventure with total relaxation in the BVI, book Moon Shadow. We’re already counting down the days until we can get back on the water with Captain Grant.
Moon Shadow
Amazing!
What an amazing experience. This was our groups first time on a catamaran vacation in the BVI! It was beautiful! The crew was amazing. Food and entertainment were incredible. And Grant did a great job adjusting our trip with some difficult weather. Can’t wait to go again!

Moonshadow was 10/10 for my picky crew!
Wow! For my birthday my partner chartered the moon shadow with captain CJ for a week. To say we were spoiled is an understatement.
The boat was impeccably clean and the rooms were a good size / very comfortable. With ten friends who are a bit picky there was risk that someone would be stressed but amazingly everyone felt relaxed, well cared for, and had fun in the week. The logistics from the yacht vacay co were easy to follow, everything was on time, the itinerary was great and we looked so swaggy pulling in to each port.
The boat came with tons of things to do. My favorite was the efoil. As a snowboarder i understood the basic mechanics but was still thrilled by the feeling of flying - that was wild. We used the lily pad DAILY (even with swarms of jelly fish - captain CJ helped there). We also used the hot tub and the tv which were nice luxuries in the middle of the sea.
Iona the chef was next level!! She made the best key lime pie I’ve ever had and went over to top for my birthday with carrot cake and chocolate soufflés oh my gosh take me back! She even nailed the snacks having taken my note with an endless supply of my guilty pleasure - Doritos. Thank you Iona!! We loved your cooking.
Tilly the first mate was always kind and ensured no glass went empty (we had pain killers from morning to night!) she took care of all our needs and was helpful for troubleshooting if anything went wrong. She even showed a ton of grace in dealing with my last minute requests at 10pm right before she went off shift!
CJ - let’s gooo! Such a great captain. I felt confident and secure with him at the helm. He was always professional and had great ideas. He also has great stories that entertained us endlessly — ask him about his trip from Capetown to the Seychelles!
All in a fantastic charter that I hope to do again. Thank you so much! #moonshadow

Spectacular trip of a Lifetime
We just returned from a week on Moon Shadow cruising the British Virgin Islands with the most spectacular crew-Christina our chef prepared every meal as if we were in a 5 star restaurant tailoring every meal to every guests preferences. Our captain Lene and H were the perfect team in every way. Preparing itinerary, planning games, and providing for our every wish. Our crew was always smiling and engaging and really enhanced our whole trip experience. This was a fantasy trip in every way that everyone should experience in their lifetime. The luxurious yacht and breathtaking scenery exceeded our expectations. Would rate this as the best trip we have ever been on! Thank you Moon Shadow for the memories and thank you Christina, Lene and H!!! We will be following you and hope to see you again. Xo Mindy and Lloyd, New York

10 out of 10
Moon Shadow is amazing. Clean, big, nicely equipped, etc, but the best part by far was the crew. Lené and H got us to the best spots. H hustled the entire time. Drinks, water toys and more. Christina gets a 10 with the food. So many special requests, but she didn't skip a beat. The whole experience was off the chart!

The most incredible trio ever!!!
I cannot even begin to explain how incredible our experience was, from the very first second we stepped foot on the boat to our departure our trip was incredible! The amount of detail and the attention to detail was outstanding! The boat itself is absolutely incredible, so beautiful and well kept! The back deck is set up perfectly for hanging out, eating with the most incredible views and so inviting! The interior was perfectly decorated and so inviting! The rooms were inviting and comfortable! Now once you get past the beauty of the boat this trip is all about the crew! I cannot say enough nice things about each one of them! They truly made this trip what it was! Christina’s food was the most amazing food I’ve had on a trip! I have a shrimp allergy and she was so kind to accommodate that and the food she made as a substitute was exceptional! Every single meal was “the best meal we’ve ever had” and I mean that! H was the best crew member ever, he waited on us hand and foot making sure our drinks were filled and we had lots of fun to do! He was always so kind to ask our many questions and he was the best host had games planned! And on to Lené was truly the Captain of all captains! She was so cool and collected, she was beyond capable and so sweet! She worked hard and made sure that our trip was planned to perfection. Map time was always our favorite to hear where we would be heading based on the weather! We were always so impressed with her attention to detail! Overall if you are considering this trip do it, you won’t be disappointed! I feel like we left knew this would be an amazing trip but had no idea we would leave feeling like it was truly the trip of a lifetime!!!

5 star catamaran yacht trip around the BVI- outstanding!
May 2024 • Couples We planned an amazing catamaran trip around the BVI with yacht vacations. John DeWurst assisted with the planning and coordinating, he was extremely responsive to all questions regarding planning and prep of the trip, payment, etc. Eight of us traveled on the amazing Moon Shadow with the best crew Captain Lene, First mate Herman (H) and chef Christina. The yacht is a 65ft catamaran with amenities you only see at a 5 star hotel. We had every water toy you could imagine, we had a great itinerary and everything was smooth and seamless. Captain Lene kept us safe, H kept us entertained and full of espresso, lattes and drinks while Christina left us speechless with her beautiful tablescapes and delicious meals and snacks! The food was better than any I’ve ever had in the Caribbean. This was a trip of a lifetime. The yacht and the crew are the best you can find. They took care of us every step of the way. We would do it all over and there’s nothing we would change! Truly amazing, this is the company you want to use, this is the yacht you want to be on and this is the crew you want to have!! Stellar!

A week in the BVI aboard the Moon Shadow catamaran Yacht
May 2024 • Friends We just returned from a one week charter on the MOON Shadow. Our amazing crew Captain Lene, First Mate H, and Chef Christina went above and beyond with every detail to create an unforgettable experience for our week. The boat is spectacular - from the top deck with sweeping views while sailing to the dining table overlooking the water. Each space was comfortable, spotless, and simply delightful. We were treated like royalty with gourmet meals paired with craft cocktails each day. We sailed to gorgeous places and always, first and foremost, felt safe. Our trip was customized and curated to exceed all expectations. We cannot express enough gratitude to our crew for taking moments and making memories. A true bucket list trip with dear friends.

Best catamaran in BVI!
The Moon Shadow catamaran was turning heads wherever we went! We were stopped by people all over the islands asking about our boat. It’s a showstopper for sure! Captain Lene, and first mate H left no stone unturned to create the best experience for our group. They were so laid-back but yet had everything timed out perfectly. Our chef Christina served beautifully prepared, delicious meals, and snacks. I am completely blown away by how well they all three worked together behind the scenes to create such an amazing experience. Cannot recommend this boat and crew enough!!

AMAZING TRIP!!!
Our experience on the Moon Shadow with Captain Lene, First Mate H and Chef Christina was top notch. These three made our experience so much better than we could have ever imagined. The food was delicious and they made us all feel so welcomed. We are working on booking our next adventure on this boat with our teenage children.

Epic week on Moon Shadow!!
Mar 2024 • Family For our family of 9, including 7 adult “children,” Moon Shadow was the best vacation we’ve ever enjoyed! The water activities offered hours of laughter and competition! The crew (thanks to Captain Lene and Deck Hand H) were not only capable, but endlessly accommodating! Our food (thank you, Chef Richard) was both beautiful and delicious, every meal topped the one before!! The boat was immaculate, stunning and spacious! The views were breathtaking, both on the boat and during shore excursions. The shore excursions were tailored to our desires…shopping, beach football, searching for the perfect island cocktail. The name “Moon Shadow” will forever bring a smile to our faces!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND, with no reservations!!

Heaven on the Moon Shadow
Apr 2024 • Couples Our trip was 3 years in the making to get schedules to coordinate amongst our 4 couples. It was well worth the wait! We had such an unforgettable experience our feet haven’t touched the ground yet.
The Moon Shadow was a beautifully appointed yacht with all the amenities we needed and wanted. Captain Lene’, First Mate, H and our chef Sue took absolute tremendous care of us and did so with kindness and fun.
We spent 8 days aboard the vessel and our itinerary was mostly known but Lene’ made adjustments as needed (such as delaying a stop on one island to avoid the cruise ship crowd) and communicated with us daily, all the while making it clear that this was our trip.
It was a trip of a lifetime and a true vacation for the spirit, body and mind. We are already thinking of planning our next charter!

Moon Shadow
Once in a Lifetime Experience
Feb 2024 • Friends I cannot write high enough praise for the Moon Shadow and its crew, Captain Lene, Deckhand H, and Chef Richard. The experience was fabulous from the time we arrived in the islands and the service was white glove. Each excursion the crew planned was exactly what our group was looking for and their insider knowledge of the island made everything a breeze. The food was absolutely top-notch and you're lucky to be getting Chef Richard because he easily could be the head chef at a Michelin Star restaurant. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in the BVI, stop looking because you've found it aboard the Moon Shadow.

We have all been friends for 20+ years and you provided an epic trip for us all. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon! Jill (Cheese) and Adam.

Truly the best of the best!
What can I say other than: wow! Everything about the experience was absolutely 5-star. The ship itself is immaculate, the quarters are spacious and comfortable, and the crew was as awesome as one could hope. It was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend it more!
Moon Shadow
First Rate Vacation
Itinerary was so well thought out and executed. Crew was second to none. They were very proactive about safety, while making sure we were enjoying ourselves, not easy! Not to mention, the food was top notch, lobsters and crème brûlée just to name a couple examples. The catamaran itself was very comfortable, plenty of space for 8 passengers and 3 crew. I did not get seasick once for the 5 nights I spent on it. As for activities: snorkeling, island exploring, and just kicking back with a “few” painkiller cocktails at the bars was just the vacation I needed. Highly recommend! One tip, reapply sunscreen aggressively, BVI sun is very strong!

Our 7-day journey aboard the Moon Shadow was exceptional! Accompanied by four other couples and led by a crew of three, our exploration of the British Virgin Islands became an unforgettable adventure.
Captain Lené set the tone for our trip with her confident and friendly demeanor. She sailed us to all of the top spots in the BVI. The "no stress" approach of her deck hand, H, added a layer of tranquility, making every moment aboard relaxing. Richard, our chef, was a culinary master who turned each meal into a delectable masterpiece. I would not miss a meal if I were you!
The Moon Shadow is a beautifully appointed floating haven. From luxurious amenities to practical conveniences, the yacht provides a perfect blend of comfort and style. The inclusion of water toys adds another level of fun to water activities.
What made our voyage truly special, however, was not just the incredible yacht or the breathtaking locations. It was the crew – Lené, H, and Richard – who went above and beyond their roles, becoming not just service providers but new friends we hope to see again.
