THE CREW
BASTIAN
Growing up in South Africa, Bastian was always surrounded by nature. He would find creative ways to indulge in it: climbing trees, hiking mountains, surfing or scuba diving - anything that would bring him closer to the elements. After years of going back to the sea, it was only natural for him to continue on this path and become a skipper.
Qualifying for his license on the South African waters, his training in a challenging ocean prepared him for whatever may come. On his first voyage, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. This was preceded by more voyages, in which he quickly advanced positions and was then working as a Captain.
Chartering yachts for potential buyers in Cape Town, Bastian found a way to bring his two loves together: sailing the ocean, and bringing people closer to nature. Even on land, people turn to him to take them out exploring and camping. Chartering proved to be a beautiful extension to that.
Bastian is truly passionate about the sea, nature and the connection we have to it; and he always seems to know the perfect equation for a divine sunset. For him, providing a good and memorable experience on the sea is a duty just as much as it is a pleasure.
SARAI
Sarai was raised in Italy, Germany and Israel - always on the coast. Being a daughter to a skipper, her family had a close relationship with yachts. They regularly went sailing in the Mediterranean, exploring all of the different coastlines the Med has to offer, and that was where she fell in love with the sea. Discovering this at a young age she took on competitive windsurfing and started scuba diving, along with photography as a way to indulge in the present and the beauty of nature.
Living in the Middle East and Italy gave her an appreciation for the Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. At home, the dining table has always been a place where everyone gathers and time seems to stop. Seeing food as an art that has the power to connect people, she ventured into hospitality during and after high school, working in different catering companies.
At the age of 19 she enrolled in the IDF and served for 4 years as a Commanding Officer. During her service, she found profound meaning in human companionship and the relationships we build with each other. This understanding grew stronger through her travels in Africa, getting to know a variety of cultures and being inspired by her experiences there.
Sarai is passionate about the beauty in the simplicity of life. She believes food has the potential to elevate any experience to new heights. By combining fresh ingredients, and accentuating natural flavors, her cooking is designed to bring those at the table closer together.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our entire family - grandmother to 12 year old! Your attention to detail and love for your craft is apparent in everything you do. The food was delicious and nutritious. You went above and beyond to address the varying needs of our adventurous to non-adventurous family! Please visit us when you are in the Bay area.

I can't even put into words how special this week has been to our family. Because of your extraordinary effort, kindness, attention to detail and attentiveness we will never forget our time on EMYSA. We booked this trip to see the islands, connect as a family, experience new destinations, live on and in the water. What we didn't expect is the actual journey we were taking was a culinary one. Meal after meal after snack after appetizer, Sarai delivered flawlessly. We've eaten at Michelin star restaurants and had less meals with less flavor than we enjoyed on EMYSA. The worst two meals we had this week were because we ate at a restaurant and it wasn't prepared by Sarai. At 26 years old, Sarai is one of the best up and coming chefs in the world perfecting her craft in a small catamaran in the BVI. She is also a great crew member for boating operations. Bastian makes the technical and difficult parts of sailing and navigating and vessel execution look easy. All week Bastian went above and beyond the call of duty while simultaneously keeping one eye on the boat and its guests while also making sure Sarai had his assistance when needed. There wasn't anything we asked for that Bastian didn't deliver. He always made sure our kids were having fun, and is the best snorkel guide we've ever had.
We can't wait to follow your journey and see where it takes you. If this week is any indication, your limits will only be subdued by your desires. You two together are such a special team and for us to be a small part of your journey is an absolute blessing. We can only pray that our paths cross again. You've set the highest bar possible for any crew in our future.
With our love and support we bless this boat and all who embark upon it and may you all find harmony with the wind and waves. Your friends forever.

We had a wonderful week in the BVI with Bastian, Sarai (and an awesome bonus crewmember Mitchell) onboard the Emysa. The special care they took into making this an incredible trip for us is beyond words, but I will try. They helped us explore the BVI and celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and New Year’s Eve!!! They know the BVI so well and were very flexible in the planning before and during the trip. Bastian (aka Orlando Bloom lookalike) sailed to great spots every day. He really enjoys putting up the sails as we transitioned between the islands. He made it possible for not only rendezvous diving with a coupe local dive shops but also helped us do scuba diving right from the Emysa. He knows great snorkeling reefs and where to go exploring ashore. He can mix a smooth margarita, mojito, or the island special “pain killer”. He also can bake delicious pizzas prepared by Sarai. And “Oh My My!”, Sarai and her kitchen! The cuisine was so delicious. Her Mediterranean flair for preparing dishes is beyond compare. Five-star dining only because there isn’t a six-star rating.
The Emysa is a fabulous boat! We have been on a 50’ catamaran on a previous trip but the Emysa in comparison, offers so much more. There was plenty of room to spread out in the spacious salon, upper deck & forward and rear areas, where we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee, reading, taking in the view of the islands & sunsets or get together for drinks and appetizers. We felt very pampered in the staterooms. We also enjoyed the toys which included tubing behind the dingy, SUP, clear bottom kayak, and sea scooters.
Thank you again for a wonderful trip!

Bastian and Sarai - Thank you so much for a wonderful week! We were treated with grace and respect. There was an ever-present serenity which set such a beautiful tone. We were cared for and attended to - we felt that you truly cared about us and our happiness.
The boat was everything we hoped for and best for last, the food!! Delicious, thoughtful, varied and so perfectly designed for us, and did we mention, delicious!!! Much love!
JUNE 2023 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
What an epic trip! I've heard people call this type of trip a once in a lifetime trip . . . but I'm hoping that's not true! Every aspect of this trip was spectacular . . . the hospitality . . . the adventures . . . the sailing . . . the food . . the weather . . . did I mention food?!?! Wowzer! Sarai and Bastian are THE BEST! They helped make this trip OUT OF THIS WORLD! I've been to the BVI's . . . but sailing the BVI's with Sarai and Bastian might have ruined future trips without them! They are now part of our family!

How do you shed your anxiety, how do you learn to be part of the moment. I think, and this is my opinion, that you find a place with harmony and become one with all things around you. You and Bastian brought us there! Thank you for the memories.
APRIL 2023 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
This charter was the vacation of a lifetime.
The vessel was perfect for a group of 4 to 6 and the Crew was beyond exceptional! Saraï is an incredibly talented Chef and Captain Bastian is very competent, attentive, and devoted.
Should any special offers come up on this cat with this Crew in the next few months, please do let us know. We would be more than willing to take off again!...
MARCH 2023 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Hands down - best vacation ever! The boat is beautiful and had everything we could have thought of and more. Your attention to detail, thoughtfulness and cooking is out of this world.
The BVI's are a magical place and this will be a week we will always remember.
Thanks for helping us send Jenna off to college in style with an epic beach dinner, bonfire & party!
We will be back!
FEBRUARY 2023 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
This vacation exceeded ALL of my expectations. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left – everything was absolutely exceptional! We were greeted, after a long day of travel, with the most beautiful, candle lit dinner on the back of the boat which was the envy of other guests at the marina.
The boat is truly luxurious, a giant, light filled salon with sweeping views of the crystal blue water everywhere you look. So much space you will never feel crowded. The dining table on the back was a perfect spot for morning coffee and all of our meals. The bean bags on the front are perfect for sunset with a cocktail. Gorgeous views from the fly bridge which even has a fire pit! Beautiful linens, toiletries, every detail and water toy you could imagine are available. We really enjoyed the water scooters and clear kayak!!
Our crew was incredible! Not only are they very interesting and have so much to share about the world, they are incredibly skilled in their craft. Our captain, Bastian, is clearly an expert sailor and boat captain. I had 1000% confidence in his abilities under any circumstances.
Our chef, Sarai, made every meal exceptional with the most beautiful eye and palate pleasing dishes. Full of vibrant colors and the freshest ingredients. Almost too stunning to eat! They took us on the perfect itinerary. Every port more exceptional than the last. They even surprised us with dinner reservations at a restaurant which has now become one of my favorites ever! I cannot begin to say enough about this experience! I’m sure we will be back.
JANUARY 2023 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
EMYSA is fantastically equipped, we saw no reason for shore visits! Bastian and Sarai are top notch sailors and the cocktails and menus were over the top. We could not have asked for anything more. Each day was better than the day before with snorkeling, kayaking in the clear kayak and playing on the scooters. We only used half of the available water toys. The crew made this a trip of our lifetimes.
DECEMBER 2022 - BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Thank you so much for a magical week aboard EMYSA. Our entire vacation was a dream - we cannot imagine a better way to relax. Each location topped the previous, the snorkeling was incredible (even with those pesky jelly fish!), and the food was out of this world.
We will long remember the laughs, sun, and fun we had together this week.
