We had the most incredible week with Captain James and Chef Julia aboard the Sea Dragon. They were an amazing team and made us feel extremely welcome. By the end of the week, we were so sad to leave them.
Captain James was extremely professional and made us feel very safe. Everyday he gave us an itinerary with options and he was very accommodating with what we wanted to do.
Chef Julia was very talented and made the most incredible meals that looked as good as they tasted. With two gluten allergies, she was able to accommodate without any issues. She adhered to our preferences and was so creative.
The crew went above and beyond by decorating for NYE and made us such a yummy meal (surf and turf)! We had the best time getting to know James and Julia whether we were playing games together, sailing, or just chatting. We’ve only been home for a day and we are planning our return to the BVI.

The return was difficult for a reason that you will like: our trip was soooo perfect that we wanted to stay longer! Lol. As you know, it was our 6th time doing this type of vacation onboard a sailing catamaran and it was the BEST! Of course I would say that 80% of our trip is made of the chef and the captain…and they were just perfect. So professional, the quality of food, service and everything was overwhelming. Julia, our chef, is sooo talented. The captain James and her read and followed every piece of our preference sheet and conversation with them. I have absolutely nothing to say they can improve!The boat itself was in order, clean and we really liked the 2nd “deck” area where we could have a perfect 360’ view during nav. James proposed a modified itinerary to keep us safe considering the Atlantic depression causing big waves for Thursday and Friday. They were able to fix a small electrical issue they had without us even realizing!

This trip was a long time coming! Because of covid we waited nearly 3 years after booking to finally commit to our final dates. The company was gracious enough to allow us to reschedule twice (because of lack of access into the British Virgin Islands) even though their protocol was a max of one reschedule, and I'm sure it was a very inconvenient option for the company, but their focus was more on the enjoyment of the client.
The Captain (James) and the Chef (Julia) were what made this trip aboard Sea Dragon, absolutely incredible! They bent over backwards to give us the absolute best care and service, and went out of their way daily to consider our comfort and enjoyment. It was like having to executive assistants at our beck and call for 7 days straight!
We expected to eat well on the trip, but we had no idea of the level of cooking that we would actually receive. It was as though Julia had come directly from Cordon Bleu with her amazing recipes and out of the box menu! She must have spent hours preparing a majority of the meals, and yet we were completely unaware of her effort because we had the joy of just showing up when it was time to eat. The spreads were incredible, and there was always plenty!
James was a delight! Not only an excellent Captain who knew how to navigate and control his boat, but he considered our whims and wishes at every opportunity and kept the itinerary fresh every day. He gave us options of what we could do next and allowed us to veto or confirm his ideas, and always with an incredibly pleasant attitude and a smile. One of our favorite nights of the whole trip was when we dragged them both into our evening of board games and had an absolutely incredible night of hilarious laughter! Both wonderful friends that we would love to spend more time with in the future.
Thank you to Derek at iYacht Club for making this trip everything that we hoped it would be!
Sea Dragon - An Unforgettable Experience
We just returned from a trip of a lifetime aboard the Sea Dragon. From the moment we met Captain James and Chef/First Mate Jamison, they created a vacation dreams are made of…They took our preference sheet and matched every request with “top shelf” experiences and cuisine. James and Jamison went out of their way to meet our every need and then some…Even going as far as helping plan and participate in filming drone footage of our daughter’s surprise engagement to her boyfriend on Sandy Spit! The experiences we had and the memories we made were priceless. We can not recommend this crew and catamaran enough as they never missed an opportunity to deliver excellence in every meaning of the word. We arrived as guests and left as friends!!
We want to extend a special thanks to Lauren of Second Wind Travel & Yacht Charters for her professionalism and expertise in planning this type of vacation.
