Exceeded Expectations!!!
We just returned from a "dream trip" through the British Virgin Islands and the experience exceeded every expectation. While the boat, Destiny Unbound, was beautiful and the scenery iconic, the real highlights were Captain Kieran and First Mate Emma.
Their professionalism and hospitality were evident from the first greeting. They have an effortless way of making you feel like a priority while maintaining a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere on board. Their deep understanding of each island allowed us to see the BVI in a way we never could have on our own.
Emma prepared gourmet meals each day, fueling our adventures while accommodating our dietary intolerances.
Watching Kieran pilot the catamaran was impressive. He has a confidence at the helm that makes you feel completely secure, regardless of the conditions. As experienced sailors, we appreciated Kieran's ability to navigate the busy anchorage at Soggy Dollar and secure a coveted spot. Kieran maneuvered our catamaran carefully and confidently at all times.
If you are looking for the perfect combination of a great boat, incredible scenery, and a crew that operates at the highest level, look no further. We highly recommend booking this charter. It was an absolute world-class experience.

Bucket list trip aboard the Destiny Unbound!
If you're looking for the best team/boat to take on the BVI - look to Kieran and Emma on the Destiny Unbound!!
You will find no one more focused on safety, fun and professionalism, than these two. They were both fully committed to give the utmost fun and adventure on this trip. Kieran is a master at his position of captain. He maneuvers the boat with excellent skill, confidence and safety to all aboard. Emma is an exceptionally skilled chef and exquisite host. They work seamlessly together to provide the most perfect trip you can dream of. This boat is a Bali 5.4 and is a dream to cruise on. It is spacious and comfortable - lots of spots to spread out, which is pretty amazing when you have 12 people aboard. Bottomline - awesome crew, awesome boat. You will not be disappointed!!

Cruising the BVI's
We recently sailed the BVI's with Captain Kieran and Chef Emma on Destiny Unbound. Emma's food was always delicious and on point. We came home well fed! Captain always had our safety and priorities in mind. We made memories to last a lifetime! Would sail again with this crew any day!

Destiny Unbound with Cpt. Kieran and Chef Emma
We had a fantastic trip with our Captain Kieran and Chef Emma! Extremely professional, great safety and sailing experience. Captain knew the islands was very flexible to build a trip around our itinerary. The food was great and Chef Emma was able to accommodate all diet issues. Highly recommend!

Destiny Unbound - a PERFECT experience!
Kieran and Emma were absolutely AMAZING!!! We have done chartered trips in the past, but this was by far the best experience, yet. As a Captain, Kieran was absolutely professional, knew the area, and never let us down; he always managed to find a way to make it happen. Emma was an incredible Stew - the food was fantastic, she was warm and friendly, and went out of her way to make sure we were accommodated.
I can't think of anything i would change about the trip. I do know one thing - when we come back to BVI, we are booking with these two!!!!
Thank you, so much, for the incredible memories!

BVIP’s in BVI
Just got home from the best sailing trip we’ve had to date. 7 days in BVI in the 54 ft Catamaran, Destiny Unbound, which was a perfect size for our group of 9. Boat was perfect, weather was awesome, and sailing with Kieran and Emma was first class. They took us all over, fed us well, and made sure we had a great time. Can’t wait to start planning the next trip, thanks guys!

Amazing experience on the Destiny Unbound
Our family of 11 just returned from an incredible charter on the Destiny Unbound to celebrate my father’s 80th birthday, and we cannot say enough good things about the crew. Beyond the expert sailing and the five-star meals, what truly set this trip apart was how Captain Kieran and Chef Emma embraced our entire family. They even took the time to play games with the kids, which was a huge highlight for them and gave the adults a chance to truly soak in the experience. They made a milestone birthday feel effortless and full of joy. Highly recommended for families!
Destiny Unbound
1 week in Paradise
Our week aboard Destiny Unbound, a beautiful 54-ft catamaran that we explored the British Virgin Islands was nothing short of legendary. Six of us set out expecting a fun getaway-but what we experienced was an unforgettable adventure that easily ranks among the best trips any of us have ever taken.
From the moment we stepped aboard in Saint Thomas, the tone was set for an incredible journey. The boat itself was immaculate-spacious, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for island hopping. Every sunrise with coffee on the deck and every sunset with a drink in hand felt like something out of a travel magazine.
The itinerary was a dream. We cruised through the turquoise waters of the Caribbean stopping at all the iconic spots-Saint John's pristine beaches, the lively harbor in Tortola, and of course the legendary floating bar Willie T's where the energy was as wild as advertised. One of the true highlights was exploring Virgin Gorda and swimming through the massive granite boulders at The Baths-an absolutely surreal place that photos don't do justice. Even spent an amazing night on Anegada which none of the 6 of us had been to on previous trips.
And then there was Jost Van Dyke, where we anchored off the famous Soggy Dollar Bar. Floating ashore for Painkillers and spending the afternoon in crystal-clear water felt like peak island life.
What truly made the trip exceptional, though, were our hosts. Captain Kieran ran the boat with total professionalism while somehow making it feel like we were cruising with an old friend. His knowledge of the islands, the hidden coves, and the best anchorages made every stop feel special. Even though most of the 6 of us have a lot of experience on boats I would highly recommend getting a Captain to just not have to worry about anything.
And Chef Emma-simply incredible. Every single meal was restaurant-quality (or better). From fresh seafood and island-inspired dinners to amazing breakfasts and perfectly timed snacks after long swims, she somehow kept surprising us all week. We were constantly asking ourselves how the next meal could possibly top the last. Now that I have done a charter with a Chef there is no way I would consider doing one without. It is a absolute GameChanger and to have one like Emma was just the cherry on top.
By the end of the trip we had seen so much-hidden beaches, vibrant reefs, buzzing beach bars, quiet anchorages under the stars-and yet it still felt like we could have stayed another week.
If you're considering a sailing trip through the BVI, do it-and if you're lucky enough to have Captain Kieran and Chef Emma taking care of you, you're in for something truly special. They turned an epic trip into an unforgettable one.
Six friends of +-32 years, endless laughs, unbelievable scenery, and a week we'll be talking about for the rest of our lives.

Destiny Unbound Delivered! Captain Kieran & Chef Emma
We had an amazing week aboard Destiny Unbound cruising the BVI with four couples, and it was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a glass of Prosecco, everything felt easy and relaxed thanks to Captain Kieran and Chef Emma.
They took care of everything — from seamless hotel pickups to Red Hook, smooth water-taxi transfers straight to the anchored boat, and organizing island tours and excursions along the way. It was the perfect stress-free start and set the tone for the entire week.
Kieran led us to incredible swim and snorkel spots, perfectly balanced with fun beach bars and quiet anchorages. Emma absolutely crushed it in the galley; every meal was delicious and beautifully presented, with desserts that quickly became a highlight.
Days were spent swimming, laughing, and exploring, and nights were full of great food, drinks, games, and sunsets. By the end of the week, the boat felt like home and the crew felt like friends.

Dream vacation fulfilled
We spent the week on Destiny Unbound captained by fun and knowledgeable Kieran and his first mate and absolutely outstanding chef, Emma. Our crew was attentive to all our needs and took us to amazing places in the BVI. All the details of each day were taken care of for us and our needs were fully anticipated. Chef Emma made the most delicious meals, accommodating preferences and allergies, and knew just the right time to serve us beautiful cocktails that complimented each days journey! Captain Kieran assisted us with water sports, the best snorkeling spots and fishing! It was a dream vacation for us. 5 star service from these experienced yachtsmen. Highly recommend!

Amazing week with Kieran & Emma on Destiny Unbound
We had the most incredible week on Destiny Unbound around St Maarten, Anguilla and St Barths, and can’t recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning everything felt effortless, and that was entirely down to our amazing crew, Captain Kieran and Chef Emma.
They were professional, warm, intuitive and so much fun to be around — the perfect balance of giving us space to relax while making sure every moment was special. Because everything was so well thought out and taken care of, we were able to fully unplug and just enjoy the experience.
Captain Kieran took us to the most beautiful spots for swimming and snorkeling and always had great suggestions, whether we wanted a quiet afternoon in a cove or a fun night out. Chef Emma absolutely blew us away — every meal was delicious and beautifully presented, and her desserts (especially the chocolate brownie and homemade mango sorbet!) were a huge hit with our group of two adults and six college-age kids.
Evenings on board were full of stories, games and laughter, and the boat truly felt like home by the end of the week. We came away with unforgettable memories and the strong feeling that we’d experienced something really special.

My family and I just completed a charter in St Martin, Anguilla and St Barths with the Destiny Unbound Crew (Emma and Kieran) and it was unforgettable. The service, experiences and food was impeccable. Highly recommend.

A Dream Fulfilled!
Text: This trip was the culmination of my husband’s dream vacation and it did not disappoint! Our captain, Kieran and hostess/cook Emma were superb! Kieran was professional, skillful, and courteous. But so much more! He “read the room” and shared teaching experience, playfulness and laidback camaraderie that put us all at ease. He was the “snorkel whisperer” who guided our 5 year old granddaughter through learning to snorkel to become an eager and confident ocean swimmer! He jumped into D&D games with our pre-teen grandsons; gave fishing lessons and boat duties to any willing to lend a hand. All while tailoring our drop spots for the maximum opportunities to see the beauty of undersea life among quiet reefs.
Emma was an extraordinary cook with fresh, nutritious, beautifully presented meals every day. She kept the boat tidy and always clean. Her banana bread was a huge hit and chocolate birthday cake a delight. Even from scratch cheesecake to die for! She was mindful of some dietary risks and skillfully planned meals to accommodate. Emma helped with our communications and travel requirements as well as reservations for land excursions and local restaurants.
Both Emma and Kieran stepped up and toughed it out as a stomach bug went through almost the entire company. Rougher on some than others, we all pulled together and made the best of it. It didn’t significantly mar our overall experience due to the prompt and supportive care we received from the crew and visa versa. An odd bonding that added to our sense of finding extended family in Kieran and Em. Thank you so much for a dream fulfilled!

A great time for all three generations. The crew was excellent accommodating us and tailoring our sites and activities
We sailed with Kieran and Emma on Destiny Unbound. Had a great trip thanks to their ceaseless efforts on our behalf. The sailing was great as was the food. Kieran was fantastic making our trip memorable for our grandchildren, especially our five year old granddaughter who will never forget him teaching her to snorkel. Thanks to Emma we never lacked for good snacks and tasty meals.
Destiny Unbound
Kind, experienced and fun crew made our trip amazing
Captain Kieran and Chef Emma made our family BVI trip aboard the Destiny Unbound amazing. They enthusiastically accommodated all 11 of us ranging in age from 5 to 77, pivoting to quieter beaches, snorkeling reefs and amazing onshore experiences as we all fought through a stomach bug that could otherwise have derailed a less experienced crew. Don't miss the Virgin Gorda caves! We still talk about Emma's banana bread and the eggs she served in the mornings as well as Captain Kieran's boisterous big brother goofing off with the kids. He is truly the dinghy master :) Emma and Kieran are genuinely kind, responsible and fun loving, and were so lucky to sail with them.
Destiny Unbound
New Adventures
We had an amazing Christmas week with Emma and Kieran! From snorkeling shipwrecks to jumping into the turquoise Caribbean waters, we had so many fun adventures sailing the BVI. Our family has been lucky enough to take this trip through the islands several times. Kudos to Kieran for showing us new, unexplored spots with the most abundant reefs we've ever seen. Highly recommend! Thank you Emma and Kieran for hosting us and taking such great care of us all.
Destiny Unbound
The Perfect Crew for Our Family
My wife and I took our four boys and our nephew, ages 17 to 23, on Destiny Unbound for eight nights and seven days. The boat, Bali 5.4, speaks for itself and was absolutely perfect for our crew. But even better were our Captain and Chef. Kieran was skilled, confident, calm and incredibly fun on the water in all respects. For our adventurous family, he could dial it up at any moment to get us on the right fish or the right wave or an open water sail or an on land adventure! He could also dial it down to find a chill bay or Cove or evening sunset or secluded snorkel! Emma was creative and experienced both in the kitchen and in the dining room! Serving a wide variety of dishes and catering to our preferences, both healthy and nutritious and indulgent and decadent when needed. And she had just a right temperament in terms of serving up a great atmosphere and experience that felt professional but casual at the same time. We could not have hoped for anything more and would request them again in a heartbeat!
Destiny Unbound
Destiny Unbound is your destiny
My wife and I were part of 5 couples that just finished 5 days on Destiny Unbound. Sailing the BVI is an absolutely amazing experience. The water was beautiful, the ship was outstanding but the real difference-maker was our crew. Kieran and Emma were absolutely on top of everything and spent so much energy making our trip the best experience it could be. Great yacht, great crew, great location. Get down to the BVI!!!
Destiny Unbound
Destiny Unbound ... Seas & Sail ... Joy & Relaxation
This was a bucket list for my husband. A trip we could not even imagine. Our expectations were surpassed 10 fold and we're ready to sail again next year. John Dewhurst was our consultant midway, after our original consultant took leave. John always took time to answer any questions or concerns during the whole process of thinking-reserving-payments-itinerary-weather-referrals-etc. Equally as helpful was John's followup on our return!
Captain Jake and Chef Joe were out of this world amazing! We had so much fun. We were so spoiled and cared for. We never had fear of safety, weather or water. All decisions Captain Jake made were on our behalf (as well as theirs), but for our enjoyment to see everything as weather permitted. A lovely sail it was. Chef Joe always had sweet flavor aromas coming from the galley. Our meals, 3 a day, were family style, gourmet, mouth watering, fat cat happy meals. We had great pleasure watching Chef Joe, as he had great pleasure in the food preparations. Gaining 6 pounds was pure delight! As a team, Jake & Joe enjoyed working together and the yacht ran smooth sailing.
Loved all the islands, beaches, bars and sights of the BVI, but the thrill of the trip was the Destiny Unbound and it's crew. A very comfortable catamaran. With 5 couples plus crew, we worried about 'close quarters' and 'no private space', but it was never an issue. There is so much room on the Bali 54 Destiny Unbound!!
Can't wait to sail again!
Captain Jake and Chef Joe were out of this world amazing! We had so much fun. We were so spoiled and cared for. We never had fear of safety, weather or water. All decisions Captain Jake made were on our behalf (as well as theirs), but for our enjoyment to see everything as weather permitted. A lovely sail it was. Chef Joe always had sweet flavor aromas coming from the galley. Our meals, 3 a day, were family style, gourmet, mouth watering, fat cat happy meals. We had great pleasure watching Chef Joe, as he had great pleasure in the food preparations. Gaining 6 pounds was pure delight! As a team, Jake & Joe enjoyed working together and the yacht ran smooth sailing.
Loved all the islands, beaches, bars and sights of the BVI, but the thrill of the trip was the Destiny Unbound and it's crew. A very comfortable catamaran. With 5 couples plus crew, we worried about 'close quarters' and 'no private space', but it was never an issue. There is so much room on the Bali 54 Destiny Unbound!!

NICE JOB Destiny Unbound
Our trip was everything we hoped for and more.
The boat Destiny Unbound was in great shape and well provisioned with all our requests.
Chef Joe prepared thoughtful and delicious meals. He made everyone feel at home and welcome... just a great warm spirit.
Captain Jake is a master at the sticks and sails. He planned out a smooth and varied itinerary that kept everyone entertained.
What a professional, and his comedic whit is a fun bonus.
The two worked together as a team that felt like years of working together.

A fabulous trip to the BVI aboard Destiny Unbound
Four couples spent an amazing week aboard the Destiny Unbound with Lieselot and Casey. They were superb — professional, resourceful, and well-humored with our slightly rowdy and very active crowd. The itinerary was perfect; the food and drink were first rate; the boat was plenty roomy and quite nice; and Lieselot and Casey could not have been better or more capable company.

Euphoria sailing thru the BVIs
The 5 days we spent on Destiny Unbound was the most euphoric vacation we’ve ever taken. It was truly incredible to wake up to the sun and salt every morning, and sip my coffee on the rooftop with my best friends. The water is crystal clear, the beaches and bays are what you see in magazines, you can jump right off the boat and snorkel, you don't miss one second of your trip because you’re living right on the water. We still made plenty of stops at all the favorite bars and restaurants so we had a great combo of meals on the boat and opportunities to hit a bar for happy hour and snacks.
Lieselot, our captain, was incredible. She ran that boat like the boss she is and had such a light and easy personality to be with. Some of us even got to help with the sails and anchor at her direction.
Casey, our chef, was second to none. I’ve never eaten so well. She clearly trained and resides in Florence, IT because it was as if we were there. She performed magic in a tiny boat kitchen. Every meal was spectacular. But most importantly she and Lieselot fit right in with our group. We made two friends on that trip!
Things to note that we learned: The boat is cozy - make sure you love everyone you get on the boat with because you can’t really run away (our 4 couples have traveled a lot together and were best friends so it was perfect for our bunch)! There is such a thing as a “genny room” which is the bedroom right next to the generator - it’s loud and vibrates the bed. We were glad we had 4 couples instead of 5 so nobody had to stay in that room.
My only question is when we can book this again?!

The best 40th birthday trip!!!
We celebrated my birthday with 3 other couples on the Destiny Unbound for 5 nights in the BVIs. It was everything and more I had expected. The catamaran was beautiful and super clean. We visited so many incredible spots with the most beautiful views. I can’t say enough great things about the crew. Lieslot and Casey were so fun, flexible, and made sure we had the best time. We still talk about how amazing Chef Casey’s food was. We ate so well all week. We can’t wait to do this trip again!

Destiny Unbound - Amazing!
Best vacation ever! Captain Liselot and Chef Casey were the absolute best. They planned everything perfectly which made our trip seamless and so relaxing as we didn’t have to stress over any decisions. Our biggest decision was when to have our 1st Pain Killer! Can’t say enough about these two- absolutely awesome. The boat is brand new and it is also spectacular. The layout was perfect for us- there were 5 couples. Chef Casey’s food delish! Captain Liselot drove and sailed that boat like no other! We will be back!

BVI - a week on the water
Amazing trip to BVI aboard Destiny Unbound, a 54’ catamaran. Our captain, Lieslot, and chef, Casey, were nothing short of AMAZING. The trip exceeded all expectations. The boat was comfortable and spacious, the food outstanding in every way and we were totally confident in our captain’s knowledge of the boat, islands and tracking the weather/conditions. We had no worries for a week!
