Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a sailing catamaran like ONE II LOVE, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price ($4,800 - $8,400), making the charter cost $28,800 to $32,400. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Reviews
ONE II LOVE
June 2026
We had the most incredible 5-night trip aboard the One Il Love catamaran in the British Virgin Islands! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. Captain Thomas was absolutely wonderful - so patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. One of our favorite parts was when he would pull out the chart each morning and walk us through the islands we'd be visiting that day. It made the trip feel even more special and personalized.
Chef Lelani was beyond amazing. Every single meal was delicious, creative, and beautifully prepared. She handled our food allergies with such care and attention, and we were blown away by the wide variety of unique, gourmet meals she created throughout the entire trip. We truly looked forward to every meal!
The combination of stunning scenery, outstanding hospitality, and an incredible crew made this a trip we will never forget. We cannot recommend One II Love enough! ~Corrie

I wanted to share what an incredible trip we had with Thomas and Lelani aboard One Il Love. They were absolutely amazing and made the entire experience effortless from beginning to end. We knew this would be a trip where we could choose what we wanted to do each day, but we had no idea how many extra touches and thoughtful details our crew would provide.
Thomas and Lelani knew exactly where to take us, shared so much about each island, recommended the perfect beach bars and restaurants depending on the mood we were in, and made every stop feel special.
One or both of them would guide us around, help us explore, and even take photos for us so we could fully enjoy the moment. They always made sure we had everything we needed before heading ashore, and somehow anticipated things before we even had to ask. The entire trip felt easy, relaxing, and completely stress-free because they handled everything so seamlessly.
We visited all the famous spots we had heard about, along with so many hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. They constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable, happy, and had a drinkin hand
Their personalities made the trip even more memorable - warm, fun, genuine, and incredibly attentive without ever feeling intrusive. By day two, it truly felt like we were traveling with friends.
The boat itself was beautiful, comfortable, and felt like home almost immediately.
But honestly, one of the very best parts of the entire trip was the food. Lelani is an absolutely incredible chef. Every single meal was fresh, healthy, beautifully presented, and genuinely delicious. We were blown away meal after meal after meal by the variety, flavors, and quality of everything she prepared. It completely elevated the experience.
One of the biggest luxuries of the trip was never having to think about where to eat, read reviews, make reservations, wait for tables, or waste time deciding between restaurants. After snorkeling or spending the day exploring, we could simply relax and enjoy an amazing meal onboard within minutes - no rushing to get dressed or organized. And if our timing changed, Lelani was always flexible, keeping everything warm and serving it beautifully whenever we were ready. She prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us every day, and every meal felt special.
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about both Thomas and Lelani. They made this THE best vacation we have ever had and will remember them for the rest of our lives. ~Katie

Captain Tom Wheeler was professional, responsible, helpful, and personable. We had a 5-star experience aboard ONE 11 LOVE and plan to charter with Captain Tom Wheeler again next year.

First, Captain Thomas Wheeler: If I could meet Thomas’ sailing instructors and mentors and his mother and father, I would pass along my heartfelt commendations on jobs well done. His attention to detail, amazing customer service, strong command of the boat, knowledge of the area for both fun and mooring, listening to and even just noticing our preferences without being told were beyond brilliant. We felt safe, cared for, and listened to from the very first step on One II Love. The surprise of freshly baked banana bread, offering us drinks frequently and pouring my coffee-required husband a cup of coffee as he arose from our cabin were a few small examples of his paying attention to what would make our trip even more memorable.
Now, One II Love: What a beautiful boat. It had so much space for us to move about, perform our desired routines and have together and alone time. It has been wonderfully cared for by its owner and Captain Thomas. We especially enjoyed the amenities of snorkel gear, lounging areas, swim ladders for a daily, or nightly, swim and a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of freezer and fridge space. ~The Theines

Captain Thomas was the best thing about the yacht. He made our experience memorable and fun. The yacht was very nice, and we felt like we had an upscale experience. Captain Thomas was friendly, helpful and professional. He was kind to our daughters, and we always felt like we were in good hands. Captain Thomas asked us for our preferences beforehand and gave us what we asked for! We also wanted to have dinners on shore, and he picked great places!
We had the best time! It was exactly the vacation we were going for and hope to be back! Erin
