Our charter unfortunately encountered a few days of unusually poor weather - including Hurricane/Tropical Storm Elsa. Captain Dirk and Sandy showed real skills and dedication to help us get the best experiences despite the bad weather. Thank you!

If you want a first class experience this sailing trip with Dirk and Sandy on the Catatonic 500 is a must! Our group was a girls trip and Dirk and Sandy exceeded our expectations! From the time they pick you up until the time they drop you off every detail from sailing, snorkeling, scuba, lobster diving, cocktails and the WOW MEALS was perfection ! We seriously could not have had a better experience. Don’t wait book NOW for a trip of a lifetime!

This amazing captain towed our disabled sailboat with his dinghy to a safer anchorage so we could continue to troubleshoot what the problem was. This was in heavy winds and waves and we so thank him. What a tribute to helping fellow sailors. Yacht Tabasco

5 Stars does not do it justice, 5 cubed (reference for Captain Dirk) is more like it. The most amazing week my wife and i have had on vacation EVER. Dirk is a very knowledgeable captain and well as Diver, Kayaker, Kite boarder and the best bartender bar none. His Margaritas are amazing and probably the best we have ever had and his Painkiller beat any of the various bars that we visited. Lots of water toys, Tube, Paddleboards, Kayaks, Snorkeling and Diving gear and all of these things come at NO additional cost which is a great perk. Sandy is an excellent chef and she went above and beyond to make sugar free desserts and low carb meals for me because of my Diabetes. The food was amazing. I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality and our group not only had a great vacation but felt like we made 2 amazing friends as well. My suggestion is to stop reading and book now before they fill up.

We had an amazing sailing trip through the BVI thanks to Dirk & Sandy! These two went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They paid attention to every detail from cocktails to scuba gear. As a new scuba diver, I was a bit apprehensive. Captain Dirk took extra time on every dive to explain where we were and what we were going to see. He checked on me throughout every dive. Sandy is one great chef! I caught a tuna at 10 a.m., and she made it into sushi for lunch in the same day! They addressed our every need and desire. Our duet karaoke night was a great highlight as well! They had all kinds of water toys to play with during the day, or we could be on a beach. They made the trip 100% about what we wanted. I am looking forward to returning to the BVI with them one day!

This is our 7th trip on Catatonic. It is truly our favorite vacation every year. Wake up and plunge into the beautiful blue sea. Enjoy magnificent sunsets aperitifs every night and watch the stars before bed. From the moment you board Catatonic to the day you step off, the crew is amazing and helpful. They go out of their way to make sure you have a good time. All your meals are expertly prepared. You have nothing to worry about except to relax, swim, snorkel, kayak, read a book, sunbathe, explore the islands and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Catatonic is a beautiful boat with all the amenities needed for a perfect stay. It is a very special vacation . Kid friendly. I would recommend this trip very highly. See you next year Catatonic!

As the song states “Time for a Cool Change” . Forget about cruises, hotel beach vacations, you need to book on a catamaran and Yacht Catatonic is the place to be sailing around the US & British Virgin Islands. This is our fifth year running and we never get tired of it. Yacht Catatonic has a captain and mate that cater to your every need. If you want to just relax and read or you can snorkel, kayak, swim, fish or stop on an island and lay on the beach and enjoy it’s charm it is all there at your fingertips, no schedules to keep and there is nothing like the peaceful sound of sailing on the Caribbean. You might even be able to convince the captain to give you a few sailing lessons. My husband asked the captain and he was happy to give him some pointers and he even was able to assisted him one time in sailing to Cooper Island and that was the highest moment of the trip for him, he was on cloud 9 after that. Being on Yacht Catatonic is the best trip ever and that is why we go every year! Book today I promise it will be one of best experiences of your life!!!

If you are looking for the perfect blend of family fun, relaxation and a beautiful backdrop, a trip with the crew of Yacht Catatonic is just where you need to be!! We have spent several trips sailing throughout the BVI with both the owners and the crew of Yacht Catatonic. Each and every time we've gone out with them we have gotten to see and experience something amazing and unexpected - Sailing/racing to Anegada, snorkeling with sea turtles at Diamond Cay, deep sea fishing for Black Fin Tuna, fresh sushi made from the Black Fin Tuna with friends, scuba diving a secret spot, learning how to read the wind & trim the sails, and even late night karaoke competition in a hidden cove off of Norman Island... Yacht Catatonic is the best of everything for everyone! Families with kids, group of friends, couples and honeymooners are all treated with comfortable accommodations, wonderful food & drink, awesome hospitality and all the water activities you could want on board. I can't wait for our next trip aboard Catatonic!
