NO INHERITANCE

June 2026

We just finished an amazing week long Catamaran charter through the British Virgin Islands with Captain Owen and Chef Mia. We are a group of 6 - Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad and two teenagers.

Needless to say, our interests vary.

One member of our party has a mild physical disability. Mia and Owen went out of their way to accommodate her needs, provide accessible ways in and out of the boat and dinghy, and made her feel so comfortable. They were so flexible with the itinerary as the week went on. If we expressed interest in something different than our itinerary, Owen simply changed course. He shared personal experience and opinion, and so many interesting stories.

Then there’s Mia. OMG. We didn’t know what to expect, but we couldn’t have dreamt up Mia. Every meal she created was a delicious work of art. We didn’t have major dietary restrictions, but the minor requests we did have Mia handled without batting an eye.We will be following Mia and Owen and hope to sail with them again in the future!

Love, John, Brenda, Scott, Sadie, Gracie and Charlie Walton

We just finished an incredible 7-day catamaran charter through the BVI as a family of 10, & Owen & Mia made the trip absolutely unforgettable. Owen was the best captain we could have asked for. He coordinated every stop perfectly, from snorkeling spots to driving us around Anegada & somehow also managed to be our bartender, tour guide, & all-around problem solver for the week. His espresso martinis & rum punch became a daily highlight for all of us. He kept everything running smoothly while still making the trip feel relaxed & fun, even though he’d say, “I just drive the boat.”

And Mia. WOW. Every single meal she made was phenomenal. She absolutely killed it from start to finish. Breakfasts, snacks, apps, lunches, dinners, desserts… every bite was amazing. Not only was the food delicious, but it was beautifully prepared & felt restaurant-quality every day. By the end of the trip, we were all joking that we wanted to take her home with us.

Together, Owen & Mia made the boat feel welcoming, effortless, & luxurious. They also kept everything incredibly clean & organized the entire week, which did not go unnoticed with a group of 10 onboard. This trip exceeded all of our expectations, & so much of that was because of the care, energy, & talent Owen & Mia brought to it. We would charter with them again in a heartbeat.

Owen + Mia,

Thank you both for an incredible week on No Inheritance. From start to finish you made our vacation unforgettable. Your care, kindness, and attention to every detail are what truly made it special.

Mia - the meals you prepared were absolutely amazing! Owen - you made every day effortless getting us to and from each place with ease. Even delivering us drinks to the beach!

We’re so grateful for an amazing experience that we will be talking about for a long time. We hope to be back sometime soon!

This trip was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.

There were nine of us on a charter in the BVI, and from the first steps onto the boat, Captain Owen and Chef Mia made it unforgettable, easy, and comfortable. None of us really knew what to expect going into it, and some of our group hadn’t met before.

Captain Owen was incredible—not just as the captain, but as someone who genuinely loves what he does and really knows his stuff. He shared interesting facts about the islands and marine life and answered all of our random questions.

Mia! I honestly don’t even have words. Every single meal she made was unbelievable. We’re all wondering how we’re supposed to go back to normal life without her cooking. And honestly, I am not even mad that my clothes don’t fit right—it was totally worth it.

We had so many moments that made this trip so special—seeing dolphins, snorkeling at Hammerhead from the boat, diving the Indians, exploring the Baths, and some friendly and competitive games of Rummy and cards.

Owen and Mia kept us on our toes and even helped with puzzles. Owen & Mia didn’t feel like crew—they became part of an amazing adventure together.

Saying goodbye to Owen & Mia was the hardest part of the trip.

We just wrapped up an unforgettable week aboard No Inheritance, exploring the USVI and BVI, and we truly can’t say enough about Captain Owen and First Mate/Chef Mia.

From the moment we stepped on board, Owen & Mia created vacation magic. Owen’s knowledge of the islands, attention to safety, and ability to craft the perfect itinerary made every day feel seamless & customized for us. Whether it was navigating us to the most stunning beaches or best snorkel spots, timing our visits to avoid crowds, or sharing local insight, his expertise elevated every experience.

And just when you thought you were too thirsty, a cocktail was placed in your hand! Every drink was perfectly made and somehow even better when enjoyed with those island views.

Mia is simply incredible. From every single meal was better than the last – fresh, creative, and beautifully presented. She somehow balanced being an amazing chef, attentive host, and all-around joy to be around. She anticipated our needs before we even realized them and made every moment onboard feel special.

Together, Owen & Mia are the dream team. This was more than a vacation – it was an experience we will be talking about for years. If you’re considering a charter, don’t hesitate – No Inheritance with Owen and Mia is as good as it gets!

Owen and Mia were fantastic.

They were easy going and wonderful with our kids. Owen was always ready and willing to take them tubing and Mia quickly accomodated any of our picky eaters with her amazing food.

They make a great team and we felt beyond lucky to be on their boat. Owen had lots of fun ideas and created an adventurous itinerary for our crew. Mia made the best cocktails and made the most delicious food. They always greeted us with a smile and we absolutely loved getting to know them. We would be lucky to sail with them again!

Captain Owen & Chef Mia,
AMAZING!!! We are eternally grateful for your incredible hospitality, expert sailing, exquisite cuisine, entertaining tales and all the hard work and dedication to your craft. Our trip aboard the No Inheritance was the best anniversary celebration each of us could have ever dreamed of, and it’s all because of you!

You are both so easygoing and generous with your time spent to make our vacation feel truly customized to each of our needs — whether it was crazy special diets, endless questions, bottomless rum punch, Name that Tune, or wannabe sailors and mermaids in search of the perfect snorkeling spot.

You delivered it all with a smile!! 😊

The joy and the memories will last a lifetime, and we hope we get the opportunity to do it all again with you someday.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Owen + Mia – We don’t know where to begin. First, thank you for being so welcoming to our kids, from entertaining them every day to making sure each of them were well fed. We cannot thank you enough.

Captain Owen was the star of the show, showing them all the cool stuff and making sure they were safe. Mia cooked meals not only for adults but also for picky eaters. Sometimes that meant cooking more than one meal a night. Our kids have never eaten so well!

Second, the knowledge of the islands and people did not go unnoticed. We had so much to do in each location, even on our rainy day! It was a trip of a lifetime.

Finally, we just don’t know how to thank you enough. I hope our reason the last night showed you how much we loved our time with you. We cannot put into words what this week meant to our family. The memories will last forever!

Thank you again. You are now part of our crazy family!

Owen and Mia,
Thank you both for truly making this a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us. You both facilitated an incredible introduction to the islands and ensured that we will be back. Thank you both for sharing your knowledge, expertise, patience and kindness with us. You made it so enjoyable, relaxing and overall so fun for us.I would not have changed a thing about the trip except for making it longer. It’s hard to imagine any other trip than the one we had, but I know for certain, it would not have been anywhere close to the incredible trip we had if we didn’t have the two of you as our Captain/Engineer/Bartender and our Chef/Deck Hand/Stewardess.I cannot thank you enough and can only say that we will be back and find you on whatever boat you’ll be on!

Mia & Owen,
Wow! It’s hard to find words that will truly capture & describe the experience we had with you both on No Inheritance this past week. The boat is beautiful and amazing and that is what dazzled us when we stepped on it the first day. But as the week unfolded, it became very apparent that you both are the real gem on the boat.Owen – you’re on it – everything from our safety, to knowledge of the islands & waters, serving drinks, sailing expertise, and your calm, friendly demeanor is so welcoming.Mia – the sounds of mixing & cutting in the kitchen are the most pleasant alarm and your magic starts as delicious smells call us out of our rooms. I can honestly say your meals have been extraordinary. Your eyes & smile radiate love & life!You two are what made our vacation so memorable and it was a gift to watch how you work together, each bringing your knowledge & talents together to create this perfect vacation for us!
Thank you,

We loved our trip to BVI on No inheritance with Captain Owen and Mia!! You are a great team, very friendly and professional, and you had excellent recommendations on activities and local spots to visit! Mia cooked delicious meals with large servings for our two families (10 people) - which was awesome since we have big boys in their late teens and 20’s with large appetites! There was always lots of great food for them to eat at meals and for snacks. We also loved the morning lattes and made-to-order cocktails at night!

Captain Owen took us to fantastic places for great snorkeling, paddleboarding, and wakeboarding! And we loved the special snorkeling boat trip around Anegada so we could visit different coral reefs and make our own freshly caught conch ceviche! Captain Owen also took us to great land destinations for our kids to go on runs and for us to hike. Norman Island has great hikes up to the summit with awesome views!

We came for sailing, stayed for the sunsets, and rang in the New Year in style with fireworks at Peter Island! BVI and No Inheritance truly delivered- thank you so much for helping make this a great family vacation!

Best Christmas ever. Owen and Mia, thank you so much for an unforgettable week on No Inheritance. There is no doubt that the two of you are “the best” on the island. From 5-star meals to rum cocktails that Granny always thought were had too early… thank you for reminding us all what it meant to have a true family vacation filled with both adventure and relaxation. We appreciate all of the superlatives we received and look forward to our future redemption .. “Most questions asked” quickly turned to “ most chocolate eaten”... still learning, but we'll get there eventually! Thanks for the swimming spots, time in the sun, and the ability to make memories that will last a lifetime! We are so grateful to you all for making this week so seamless; otherwise, we might have been just as dysfunctional as the Griswolds. We’re in your corner forever! Cheers to you all ( with Teremana tequila), and can’t wait to see you all again soon. Play ball! .. and one last question: “What’s the timeline for tomorrow? Can we come back?!”

Thank you for making the bucket list trip perfect! It was as if Captain Owen & Chef Mia were friends we’ve known & had for a long time. From the exceptional food meal after meal, to the unreal storytelling & knowledge shared by the Captain. There was not one single complaint. Truly lucky to have had this trip with this crew. Wish you both only the best for the remainder of the season & onwards. Should we make the splash on a boat, no doubt this crew will be our 1st call!! Thanx for everything!

There are not enough adjectives to describe the No Inheritance experience and the first-class hospitality delivered by Captain Owen & Chef Mia. The beauty of the BVI is obviously well known, but the way Captain Owen tailors each day with special adventures, one better than the next, has created lifetime memories. The immense knowledge and relationships Owen has accumulated over 10+ years in the BVI are very likely unmatched. Chef Mia, what a culinary rockstar. This was only her second charter on No Inheritance, but you would have assumed she’s been at it for years. The creativity of her dishes, the quality of her ingredients, and the way she develops such complex flavours in that tiny galley is WOW. Such an incredible, special week. 100/ 100

Endless, secret, serene swimming spots. Mamma Mia’s most delicious, delicately made meals catered to all our favorite cuisines and dishes we never knew about that we’ll now crave until next time…. Caps carefully crafted cruises and on-shore adventures gave us a gift of magical moments that our photos won't do justice. Captain Owen & Chef Mia didn't miss a beat. They got to know who we were about and pivoted on the fly, quickly adjusting to make our experience even better!! Their energy & vibes were always warm, welcoming, positive, and calming. What am I leaving with…? Amazing memories, new friends, and a much-needed reminder to put down a screen, connect with people, and nature on a new level. Pause and look up around you because you might miss something spectacular that life has to offer.
Thank you and much love.

We just returned from our voyage on No Inheritance and as one member of our group said, “this might have been the best vacation ever.” (and we’ve had some good vacations.)  The boat was gorgeous.  Obviously, rooms are small, and bathrooms/showers were especially tiny, but overall we were certainly pleased with the amount of space on it (plus, who really spends time in their cabins other than sleeping.)  We didn’t anticipate that the 9 of us would all be able to be eat in the front of the boat (excuse me, bow) or the back (stern) or that we’d all be able to be up where the captain drives the boat (not sure what that’s called.)

As nice as the No Inheritance is, there is no doubt in any of our minds that Eric and Maddie (I’m not sure how she spells her Maddie, but we’ll got with that spelling) were what made the trip so memorable/fantastic.

Eric was a great captain.  He is one of those rare people who has the gift of making things appear effortless when he is undoubtedly putting in a lot of effort behind the scenes.  He made the effort to really understand what we wanted out of this vacation.  No doubt lots of folks love to go bar to bar (and who doesn’t like a good Caribbean bar?), but that’s not what we wanted to do on this trip.  We were with the 9 people we wanted to be with, and Eric managed to take us to uncrowded spots (even during Christmas in July) where the snorkeling, hiking, and water were all fantastic.  And, even the day when we did hit the Soggy Dollar, he made sure we got there early, had our pains killed, and were on our way before it got crowded.  We were traveling with 4 teens, and he took the time to get to know each of them whether it was keeping Emily from getting seasick, letting Michael help him man the controls, or having Will fish and wakeboard.  He seemingly knew all of their names (and all the adults’ names) immediately.  Obviously, he’s taking us to places he’s been to and seen many times before, but he made it seem like he was enjoying our discoveries just as we were enjoying them.

Maddie was a fantastic chef.  As I said to her on the boat, I expected a cook and got a chef.  We were a challenge, and meals were my greatest concern in the month leading up to the trip.  We celebrated an anniversary and two birthdays on the boat.  And, we had a vegan, a vegetarian, and someone who doesn’t eat fish.  We thought that would severely limit our dining options.  Instead, Maddie was whipping up a delicious dish from scratch every day (well, several times a day) that met (and let’s be honest greatly exceeded) our expectations every day.  Like Eric, she got to know our kids (and all of us) and paid attention to what we ate and what we didn’t eat and adjusted her plans based on that.  She was always happy to answer any questions or just to chat in the kitchen.

Simply put, I can’t imagine that there’s a better team out there.   While I was impressed with the way they handled their jobs, frankly, I was just as impressed with the fact that they are great people.  By the end of the trip, they just seemed like the 10 and 11th members of our traveling party.  We talked to them, played games with them, and hiked with them.  Now, as we get back to the grind, we miss them.

If you have people deciding among several boats, I’d say tell them to just pick the one with Eric and Maddie on it.  And, if prospective charterers want to talk to someone who has traveled on the boat, I’m guessing any of us would be happy to talk to them (while I wrote this, I’m pretty confident that Ana, Linda, and Kevin share the same view).  Now that I think about it, Linda is probably the best talker of the group.  I’m more of a writer, but you can certainly share this letter with anyone who wants an unsolicited testimonial.

Wow! We just finished 7 nights aboard No Inheritance with Captain Eric and Chef Madison, and I don’t know if I can find the words to say just how incredible this trip was. We were four families doing a tandem charter with C Sisters, including 6 teenagers and an 8 YO, with Hurricane Beryl heading west across the Atlantic as we embarked on our journey. We felt at home immediately upon arrival, greeted with champagne and a fresh lobster salad lunch, and we continued to be blown away with their hospitality, gentle nature, and each made from scratch meal and cocktail. My personal favorites included homemade pasta carbonara, fresh mahi and polenta, homemade bagels, pretzel bites and breads, crème brulee and fruit meringue desserts, and the many Aperol spritz and Painkiller cocktails . We had a lot of wind at times from Beryl to the south, but the sails were spectacular with Captain Eric at the helm. Our destinations were stunning, each unique in its own way, including Soggy Dollar and Hendos at White Bay (best part was floating in the crystal clear water), hiking to the bubbly pool on Jost, the kids soccer game on Sandy Spit, Marina Cay floating, the Baths, dinners at Coco Maya and Saba Rock, Hiking to the Norman Island helipad, Virgin Gorda Peak and sugar mills at Cinnamon Bay, Cocktails at Willy T’s, the Dinghy Bar, Quarter Deck at Bitter End and we loved the bushwhackers from Rumrunners. The kids will always remember their night swim under the boat with huge tarpon followed by lights out and stirring up the water to see bioluminescence, tubing and wakeboarding with Captain Eric, snorkeling the Norman Island caves and swimming through the passthroughs at the Indians, and of course their kids only dinner nights followed by trivia or the game Bang with Eric and Maddie! We knew we loved the USVI/BVI, we didn’t know that it could be the MOST INCREDIBLE TRIP with Captain Eric and Chef Madison. They are truly the GOAT at what they do, we may have to book again next year just to spend the week with you both again! Wishing you the very best for your upcoming pre-honeymoon and wedding!
Love, the Claytons (Cory, Sarah, Cory Jr, Jackson and Willy T) and the MacLellans (Jerry, Karin, Brady and Berkley)


A huge thanks to Captain Johnny and Chef Darryl from C Sisters also! We loved our adult dinners and everything you did to make this a seamless tandem vacation!

There are no words to describe the week we’ve had on the water with Madison & Eric. The days of peaceful sailing, dolphins, snorkeling, floating, eating and more eating. Madison’s meals were fantastic and Eric playing his ukulele was a highlight. We ❤️ you like family and can’t wait to do this again! “CHAT!”

Best trip ever!!! We will definitely be back. We also expect Madison and Eric to come visit us “Christmas in July”. They are part of the family now. This has been the most beautiful and fun trip. We can’t thank you enough for everything.

From the moment we walked on seeing Eric and Madison’s big smiles to the very last second, there are not enough words to describe the fun we have had. ; food was top notch- breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cocktails delicious! The memories will last a lifetime from the theme nights to the inappropriate jokes, to the snorkeling to the water spots. THANK YOU Eric and Madison!
Love you. Mean it❤️

I took my first charter with Eric and Madison and had the best time. It was a great bonding experience for me the loved ones I was with, they made us feel so comfortable and the views were so beautiful. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to get out there again!!

We had such an amazing week with Madison and Eric! The food and drinks were out of this world. I tried to take Madison home with me! We were a spilt group with high/low energy and everyone had a great time.

Sailing and I do not go hand in hand. I get the kind of seasickness that propels me into another dimension. So when my partner suggested we take a trip out to the Channel Islands, I considered breaking up with them. But, she assured me she’d heard great things about Eric and Madison from a friend of ours and to trust that it would be fun. Ultimately, she was right. Maybe it was the killer cocktails Madison made or the fact that she comforted me while I leaned over the side of the boat about to be sick the first half an hour, but I ended up feeling totally safe and comfortable with them as our guides. Eric found a great snorkeling spot for my girlfriend and I stayed behind to snack on the appetizers Madison made and listen to chill indie rock. All & all a fun time. I’m glad we went and thanks to M & E for their support in getting me out there.

Yum…there wasn’t a meal that wasn’t liked all week long. Food is such a fun and important part of vacation and Maddie nailed it. Meeting the needs of a large group, we had 8, is no easy feat and our entire grouped enjoyed the unique and flavorful meals Maddie thoughtfully prepared. I think the real testament is the opinion of our kids - we had 4 kids in tow (ages 8-11) and they ate every single thing prepared, often asking for more! I personally valued and loved Maddie’s true passion for food, quality ingredients, and unique presentation. You won’t go hungry!

While I have sailed on boats worldwide, Eric is one of the most engaging and interesting crew members I have had the pleasure of sailing with. I watched him often anticipate client needs, seamlessly balance helping and giving us space, and pitch in when something needed to be done without missing a beat. He offers great conversations and a great sense of humor, and his kind presence ensures an enjoyable experience for all aboard. I highly recommend this wonderful human.
All the best, Sarah
