About RumRunner
Best for: groups of friends or families of up to ten, with multi-generational groups a close second.
RumRunner is a brand-new 2026 Heysea catamaran sailing the British Virgin Islands, and her standout is the crew: Captain Bertie holds an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certificate and a Divemaster qualification, meaning guided dives come as standard rather than an optional add-on. His engineering background keeps everything running without fuss, and his deep knowledge of Caribbean waters translates into anchorages and routes guests simply would not find on their own.
Five queen cabins sleep up to ten in genuine comfort, making her a practical choice for a full group of friends or a family that wants real space. Chef Michelle trained at the Superyacht Culinary Academy and tailors every menu to guest preferences, drawing on local ingredients and international techniques, so meals become a genuine part of the trip rather than an afterthought. On deck, two Vapor Undersea Scooters open up the underwater world, bow trampolines double as workout space, and floating lounge chairs, SUP kayak hybrids, yoga mats, and a full selection of board games mean there is something for everyone whether the mood is active or thoroughly relaxed.

Guest reviews
We have been chartering boats for the past 5 years. This year we booked with Authentic and it was amazing.
We have two families and spend 7 nights on the water. Chrisjan and Cleona our captain and chef took amazing care of both families. We saw all the sites and wasn't disappointed about with one thing. Highly recommend.
Very professional, very clean and amazing food.

Our week in the BVls aboard Rum Runner with Captain Christjan and Chef Cleona was nothing short of incredible. This was our second charter, and it far exceeded every expectation we had.
Captain Christjan was outstanding his knowledge of the islands, thoughtful itinerary planning, and professionalism made the entire experience seamless, while still keeping things fun and relaxed. We always felt like we were in the best hands.
Chef Cleona absolutely blew us away with her cooking. Every meal from breakfast to lunch to dinner was delicious and beautifully prepared. Her special South African dessert was such a unique and memorable touch!
Together, they made the perfect team. They anticipated every need with a smile and truly made us feel cared for the entire week. By the end of the trip, they felt more like family than crew.
To call this trip "perfect" almost doesn't do it justice. If you're considering a charter in the BVls, this is the team you want. We're already looking forward to booking again and hope to be back onboard with Christjan and Cleona!
