Broker Review
Onboard visit
KISMET is a true power house — with 4,000 watts of solar and 4,000 amp hours of lithium batteries, they practically never need to run the generator. That's genuinely rare for a charter yacht. The crew is wonderful and endlessly accommodating.

Dan Alonso
Captain
Captain Dan Alonso Captain Dan has been at the helm since childhood, charting his first coastal passages at the age of eight. Each summer, he captained his father’s boat from Rhode Island to Maine and back, planting the seeds of a lifelong passion for sailing, exploration, and adventure. Since those early days, Dan has logged more than 50,000 nautical miles, including numerous offshore and solo passages. He has also competed in the prestigious Newport Bermuda Solo Race, a true test of seamanship, endurance, and self-reliance. His extensive experience gives him the calm confidence, technical skill, and steady leadership needed to create safe and enjoyable charters. Dan is also an accomplished scuba diver, rock climber, and skier who is always seeking new ways to connect with nature. That adventurous spirit shapes his approach onboard, where he enjoys creating experiences that celebrate both the beauty of the sea and the thrill of discovery. Guests appreciate Dan’s easygoing personality, warm sense of humor, and thoughtful hospitality. A natural teacher, he enjoys sharing his knowledge with anyone interested in learning the ropes, offering hands-on guidance in a relaxed and encouraging way. Whether anchoring in a quiet cove or catching the perfect breeze, Captain Dan works to make each journey safe, smooth, and unforgettable.
Bill Tobin
Captain
Captain Bill Tobin Captain Bill brings decades of maritime experience, adventure, and hospitality to every voyage. His life on the water began aboard offshore sportfishing boats, where he developed a deep connection to the sea. By his early twenties, he had earned his ASA certifications, opening the door to independently chartering sailboats and exploring the world under sail. Alongside his wife, Bill spent five years living aboard a Hallberg-Rassy 43 during an ambitious sailing sabbatical. Together, they logged more than 20,000 nautical miles, traveling from Rhode Island through Belize, Mexico, and the Caribbean before crossing the Atlantic to the Azores and Mediterranean. Their journey continued to Crete, Ireland, Scotland, and Morocco before they crossed the ocean once again. Before returning full-time to yachting, Bill built a professional career in the medical field and ran his own business. Earlier experience in fine hotels and restaurants also shaped his approach to service, hospitality, and guest care. Now returned to his true passion, Bill enjoys sailing, entertaining, and helping guests experience new places from the water. His calm demeanor, broad knowledge, and warm hospitality create an atmosphere that feels safe, enriching, and relaxed. Whether leading a week of island-hopping or settling in for a quiet sunset sail, Captain Bill takes pride in making every voyage comfortable, engaging, and memorable.

Kismet: Generator-Free Nights & Pure Comfort
The captain discusses Kismet's advanced power system, sailing performance, and the importance of matching guests with the right crew for an unforgettable charter experience.
Bottom line is we can run our AC all night without the generator. So, that's one of my favorite things about this boat.

She sails very well. I can sail about 30 degrees off the wind, which is impressive for a catamaran.
Captain 0:49
It's very useful to have brokers. They try to match the right crew with the right guests.
