DELANA MAE
About DELANA MAE
Best for: active families and friend groups chasing water adventure, with couples who want a lively Grenadines escape a close second.
Delana Mae is a 2020 Lagoon catamaran with one of the most complete watersports arsenals you will find on a crewed charter in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Sea Bobs, Subwings, SNUBA to 35 feet, an e-foil package, wakeboard, kayak, two paddleboards, a towable tube and a floating mat means the water is rarely empty. Four guest cabins sleep up to eight: three have en-suite bathrooms with full showers and individual air conditioning controls, while a fourth midship double works well for younger guests.
Captain RJ and First Mate and Chef Jenna bring close to five years sailing together and backgrounds that span delivery passages, charter and sailing instruction. RJ came up through day charters in the US Virgin Islands and racing circuits in the Pacific Northwest; Jenna brings the same Pacific Northwest sailing roots alongside galley talent that uses the yacht's teak dining table to seat the whole group comfortably. With 22 verified guest reviews, Delana Mae runs a proven, in-demand programme and the crew know these waters well.

It is extremely rare in life when you find reality substantially exceeds ones expectations. This was one of those times. Our week was in a word, extraordinary.
1. Crew Friendliness:
RJ and Jenna could not have been more hospitable!! They were so gracious to all of us and made sure we were all individually having a great time.
2. Crew Knowledge:
Jenna really knows her stuff in the kitchen for different dietary preferences, and did a great job making delicious and healthy food for all of us. Her plating and tablescapes were creative and inviting. RJ knows so much about the industry, the area, the boat, the technology...we really enjoyed our talks while underway, and how he pointed out interesting stuff we would have otherwise missed. We learned alot, and not just about Pirates' DIce.
3. Quality of Service:
Top Notch. Everything we asked for, we got, including a swim with a turtle!
4. The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenna and RJ were very professional in what they handled, they worked well together, and they did it in an approachable manner. They are a stellar team.
5. Value of the Cost of the Charter:
We really appreciate everyone handling the change from the original charter to the Delana Mae.
6. On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding
7. Destination / Location:
USVI are beautiful, and getting to see them from a catamaran makes them more so.
8. Water-Sports:
Great toys to use, especially the Hangout. It was used quite a bit.
9. Overall Satisfaction:
This vacation will be difficult to top. May have to repeat.
10. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation?
RJ is a champ when it came to photos and videos with his GoPro and the drone. He created a library for us to share our photos, and having those to look back on will always put smiles on our faces. It is difficult to pick just one. In general - how attentive and fun RJ and Jenna were. RJ and Jenna know all the fun things to do! We loved having pizza delivery via dinghy and a great highlight was probably our lunch at Lime Out. Such a unique experience!
RJ and Jenna,
Thank you for helping us create lasting memories. The food, great conversations and views will forever be in our hearts. Spending 7 days with you guys was awesome. We can on strangers but left as friends. Love the Bells, Steven, Randi, Grant & Sophie.
