Broker Feedback:

The client loved the charter and I found the crew very pleasant to work with!

Happy to give them a reference if you need.

Looking forward to the next one!

We very much enjoyed the entire adventure. Thank you for all your help in making it happen! I'm not one to write reviews but we left a nice long message for the crew before we left:

Alright crew this is our official sign-off before we disappear back into the land of normal people and grocery shopping ...

First we’d like to thank you all for the chaos, the laughs, and squeezing the last of the coffee out for us (we apologize for X’s coffee consumption)...

Emma - Absolute Rockstar of a chief stew. You had our drink orders down to a T, sorry we didn’t create more chaos for you to deal with. Our biggest cheerleader & best tour guide ashore. You are truly iconic.

Kala - The sweetest human ever. Dessert service & post dinner with you will be dearly missed along with any & any answer to all our questions.

Marcel - Thank you for being so kind & funny + willing to answer so many random questions & giving elite banter. We learned things we didn’t know we needed to know & might we add the best pack mule on off-shore excursions.

Estian - Special shoutout to E-dog :), who we all know will absolutely demolish the last of the birthday cake - no hesitation, no remorse, just crumbs, frosting & a smile. Thank you for always being down to drive the dingy full of people that have a strange obsession with the tinniest boat of the week. ❤

Chef - You’ve got talent, thank you for making every meal at the table a memorable one, fighting for the first place in our hearts & palettes. Just know whenever we go next, we will be dissapointed in the food and it will absolutely be your fault.

To the Captain - Thank you for being the most chill while simultaneously crushing our dreams of swimming with sharks after dark. Apparently “it will be fine” is not an approved safety briefing.

Thank you do very much for making X’s birthday week so special!

Love you all. Don’t get arrested, don’t sink the boat, and please - someone keep an eye on any
loose cake!

I can say that the interaction with the crew before, during and after the trip has been great. I would recommend BLACKSHEEP for sure.

Sometimes in life you are lucky enough to “find family” and enjoying the trip of a lifetime - Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

You have made everything like a dream - we are so happy to wake up every morning to an amazing table scape - incredible food and magnificent views and warm company ❤

We can’t wait to come see you again on another adventure!! :)

Much love

Broker Feedback:

Captain and crew are wonderful to work with and BLACKSHEEP has become a go to booking boat for me. Thank you.

Guest One:

Growing up near water front places gave me my love for the ocean. I’ve been to a ton of beaches and islands, more than I can recall. And that’s just how it is. Some places you visit, and some places you remember. The Blacksheep is the second kind. I’ve made memories on this boat that I will never forget. Everything from the crew to the sand was perfect in every way.

Chef’s food was as flavorful as the water was blue, blowing us away with every bite. Kala and Emma made this vacation feel like another home with the kindness they brought with every interaction.

Marcel and Estian worked their asses of to entertain and retain our happiness the entire trip
(those sea bobs are amazing).

And The Captain is an Asshole (jk we loved you Captain).

Best trip ever!

Guest Two:

Thank you for the most epic trip ever! We loved every minute and appreciated all your hospitality. We will never forget our gorgeous week on the Blacksheep.

Guest Three:

Where do I even start, we had the most amazing week aboard the Blacksheep, we drank, we partied, cried from laughing too much, we used all the sea toys - go use the sea bob it’s the most fun, we ate 5 star Michellin meals, from the one and only.

We were catered to like barons by Kala, she’s amazing, makes the best grilled cheese, Emma was very helpful and would add to that sense of “oh I wouldn’t recommend it” but then we’d do it anyway, Marcel is a funny dude and definitely warms up the more you talk to him. Estian, NOT Estiban lmao, he was super cool to be around, especially when we went to go fishing.

Overall, we had the most amazing and spectacular adventures and experiences aboard and
we will be coming back, all love to the crew & tb, haha

Guest One:

We loved our British Virgin Islands journey on Blacksheep. The most special, magical, and joyful trip ever - Thank you Captain and Crew!

Guest Two:

The crew is the best! We loved our week aboard the Blacksheep! Thank you to Captain Shelton, Estian, Marcel, Emma and Kala for the best time!

Happy Birthday to Chef Q and thank you for feeding us. ❤


***December 28 to, 2025 to January 4, 2026***

Our experience on Blacksheep sparked many joyous water adventures, profound conversations, and shared laughing fits.

We appreciated the encouragement to try new experiences and food from the crew + chef Quentin.

It felt so lovely to have the support to customize the menu. Our favorites were the veal, lobster, potatoes, soup and burger. Chef took especially good care of X an Y.

We also loved Emma + Kala’s cheerful personalities, decorative creativity and warm support.

Captain, Estian + Marcel were non-stop FUN. And safety tips were lovely.

I am so thankful for the hike on the 5 peaks island!

Thank you for making our first yacht trio so meaningful!

Cherish for a lifetime! Much LOVE

Thank you for making the festive season so special for us. We loved the activities, meals and company!

Broker Feedback:

The experience that you had working with the Captain prior and during the Charter. Captain Shelton du Preez is quite new to the yacht (1-2 months) but seems to have settled in very well. We found him to be very professional both in advance (helping to finalize our itinerary) and during the charter (setting each day's activities, deciding when to change location, etc.).

Your experience with the crew. Emma Pittard is a very experienced Chief Steward and was very attentive to our needs. She helped arrange all of our land-based dining and transportation which all went quite well. Kala was also very good in supporting Emma and making sure we were comfortable. Marcel and Estian were good and were particularly helpful in arranging the water activities and making sure everyone was safe

Favorite thing about the yacht. The overall atmosphere of the yacht was quite fun and upbeat. The decor and the Blacksheep merch added a nice touch and made it feel like we were part of a community. The fact that all but one of the crew were South African made it feel like they were a unified Blacksheep team.

Chef & cuisine. Chef Quentin did a great job. He was able to accommodate all of B's food sensitivities without excluding her or making entirely separate dishes for her. So most of the time it felt like we were all eating the same thing. The range in his cooking was quite broad so he was able to keep the meals interesting and not repetitive. His portion sizing was excellent and with each meal we left feeling satisfied but not overstuffed. The Christmas Eve and Christmas Day special menus worked out well.

Any highlights or “wow” moments from the charter. Saint Barth was a new experience for us and we're really glad we experienced it from a yacht, since the landside can be quite crowded and chaotic. It was great to be able to relax on Blacksheep and go onto the island when we felt like it. When we were in Crocus Bay, Anguilla we quite enjoyed our excursion to "Sandy Island". It's just a remote sandbar but swimming up to it and going to the beach bar was quite enjoyable.

Whether you’d recommend BLACKSHEEP for future charter. We would definitely recommend BlackSheep to others. The yacht had everything we needed and the crew made it function really smoothly. An unusual aspect of BlackSheep that really worked for us was that it only has 4 rooms and a capacity of 8 guests. We're a family of 5 and didn't really want to invite another family to try to fill up a 10-12 guest yacht. So with just the 5 of us we were able to use all 4 rooms and during meals and activities the yacht felt "just right" in terms of its size for us.

We absolutely loved our time on Blacksheep. The boat was great and the crew even more amazing! We are thankful for our time aboard.

All the best for the busy holiday.

Broker Feedback:

My clients thoroughly enjoyed their time aboard BLACKSHEEP and had a wonderful experience overall.

Captain Shelton was excellent to work with - professional, communicative, and accommodating. He ensured everything ran smoothly and tailored the charter to my clients’ preferences, which they greatly appreciated.

The crew was fantastic, with Emma, the chef/stew, especially standing out. She went above and beyond to ensure the yacht was well prepared for a last-minute charter, including having a baby seat for the car, a high chair, a crib, diapers, and other essential items. The team was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout the charter. My clients felt very well cared for from start to finish.

They found BLACKSHEEP to be well maintained, comfortable, and well equipped with plenty of toys to enjoy, and they especially loved the jacuzzi. One of the Sea-Doos did stop working, but it did not take away from their overall enjoyment.

The only area where they felt there was room for improvement was with the chef, specifically during the birthday dinner. They felt there may have been a slight misunderstanding regarding their request, and while the food was good, it wasn’t quite what they had outlined in their preferences. They also mentioned that the chef engaged in a bit more conversation than they would have preferred during the meal. Other than that, everything was great.

Working with Rod and yourself was seamless and easy, with clear and efficient communication throughout, especially given that this was a last-minute charter.

Overall, it was a great charter, and I would absolutely recommend BLACKSHEEP for future charters. I look forward to working with Worldwide, BLACKSHEEP, and the crew again.

Thank you all so much!

A "H-ewe-ge" thanks to each of you for making our St. Barths to Anguilla trip truly unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and full of amazing memories for the XXXX family. A special shoutout to Emma and Kala for your impeccable service—you both made everything feel so easy and effortless. Marcel and Phillip, your sea adventures and fishing skills were next level—we’re still talking about that mahi! Chef, every meal was a hit (especially the Cal approved ones)—absolutely delicious and perfectly on point. And a very special thanks to Captain Thatcher for your steady hand, attention to detail, and keeping us safe while still making it all feel like a breeze. We’re already dreaming about the next trip. Thank you again for taking such great care of us.
