Windward Description
The Bali 5.4 is a “Multihull of the Year” award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Windward. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Windward will accommodate 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling master cabin for those who desire more space. She has a 50hp dingy with stereo system, underwater lights and ski pole, Starlink, portable projector on the flybridge, Code 0, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, subwing, kneeboard, 2 stand up paddle boards, wakeboard, 2 water ski tubes, 10 ft. floating dock, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system with 3 sub woofters, 4 separate zones and speaker color changing lights as well as Windward giveaways.

Kylie Parrish
Meet Kylie, a California native with an unbreakable bond with the water and a deep love for culinary arts. Growing up visiting lakes throughout the state, boats became her second home, while her mother´s homemade meals kindled a culinary passion. This love for food and exploration led her to Spain during her college years, where she not only absorbed the rich culture but also embarked on her first formal culinary course.
After college, Kylie initially started her career in commercial real estate in NYC but felt the call for change. In 2022, she embraced her Croatian roots and started her yacht chef career in the Mediterranean. This not only satisfied her love for the sea but also allowed her to explore her culinary talents.
Kylie´s voyage extended beyond cooking. She transitioned into an instructor role, sharing her culinary wisdom with aspiring chefs, from provisioning to the art of plating. Her galley became a classroom as she taught the intricacies of baking onboard a yacht.
Recently, Kylie enriched her skills through a highly accredited Yacht Chef course. Her journey as a chef remains ever-evolving, driven by her dedication to fresh ingredients, homemade craftsmanship, and an insatiable appetite for learning. With a fusion of global inspiration and culinary artistry, Kylie´s culinary journey unfolds with each new creation.

June 2024
Kylie & Will -
What an incredible trip!! Honestly, this last week has been the perfect balance of relaxation, connection and fun activity!
You were both so easy to be around and always looking out for every detail that could make our trip even more enjoyable.
This entire trip absolutely exceeded our expectations on many levels. Kylie - where do we even begin with your INSANE cooking?! The variety & quality & presentations were always over the top.
Will - your knowledge and expertise on the water and boat was super comforting and your knowledge of the BVI´s, snorkel spots and unique island experiences we had each day was balanced to perfection!
We cannot thank you enough for the most memorable trip!!
April 2024
What a lovely trip and best vacation ever. We will never be the same again. Seeing Will underwater like a fish took our breath away. We can confidently say that we have never laughed so consistently over the course of 7 days. Will was the perfect cruise director, but Kylie won our hearts 4 times a day. I can´t recall what it feels like to be hungry. Your bagel on a boat board, bao buns, bacon and banh mi on a beach were just the razzle dazzle on top of a truly remarkable culinary experience.
Will - thank you for offering up every activity and excursion the BVI´s has to offer. You gave us the confidence to adventure and try new things. Thank you both for making every moment of this trip a blast, joining in our silly goosed-ness, and keeping us smiling from ear to ear. We will most assuredly be telling stories about our time with you forever. You rock, never change. Send our love to ginger (and her island). Cheers!
March 2024
This was a trip to ´paradise´ for us. We loved every minute of the cruise. From sailing, to great places to drop anchor. The food offerings were amazing an Kylie - we loved your cooking and the welcoming table set ups! Will - you made amazing painkillers. Your knowledge of sailing and willingness to have ´helpers´ was kind. Our favorites were ´Turtle Bay´ and seeing the flamingos in the wild, and the night time games and laughter. Thank you for being great captain and crew!
January 2024
We cannot thank you enough for the perfect week of sailing, sun, eating, drinking and lots of laughs! Tracy and Jon - you guys are a delight. You seamlessly integrated into our circle, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Tracy´s culinary skills were exceptional, catering to all of our dietary needs. Tracy was always there with a drink, snack, and an unbelievable spread for each meal - not to mention the beautiful tablescape! Jon insured we always arrived to each cove safely, and we had so much fun on the water!
The yacht was over the top - Jon and Tracy were always calm and so knowledgeable about everything - we love you Tracy and Jon - we cannot wait to come back!!
December 2023
First and foremost Jon and Tracy could not have been any more perfect. They are gracious, professional, pleasant, and a joy to be around. There are no words to explain all of their level of efficiency and attention to detail. Their knowledge of the islands and what each island has to offer was spot on.
Every single meal was over the top delicious. Every meal was made from scratch and all fresh ingredients. All personal preferences were followed to a ´T´.
The Windward was in stellar condition!
There are eight of us on board every single one of our wants and needs were meet immediately!
November 2023
We cannot thank John and Tracy enough for making our first catamaran adventure, perfection. From the amazing food for breakfast, lunch and dinner to gorgeous stops and helping us make the most out of our trip. John and Tracy made us feel like more than guests, we felt like family this week. I think all of us can say that this is the best trip we´ve been on. We will always hold these memories close to our hearts. Tracy always knew what we needed before we even asked for it. Every meal, drink, appetizer, and dessert was so delicious. John was our tour guide and the best captain. Both of them were so warm and easy to be around. They really made us feel like we were becoming friends this week! We were not sure how much the crew be around this week but we always wanted to hang out with them. They were an amazing addition to our family. We will miss them dearly and would stay forever if we could!
June 2023
Tracy is an amazing cook, the food was excellent! We were blown away with every meal!
Jon and Tracy were very laid back and read the room well- when to let us have family time or to join in with discussions and activities. I had the trip planned for the most part but they helped bring it all together. Extremely nice, informative and glad we got to spend 5 days with them!! Tracy and Jon actually came recommended to me from a friend that booked with them last summer. We loved the crew. The yacht was very clean, comfortable and well ventilated.
The six of us have discussed this trip and would not have changed a thing!!! One of the best family trips ever!! My husband and I, summer 22 years old with boyfriend and Savanna and her husband are 26.
Best,
The Ferrell Family
March 2023
Our family of 3 couples from Kansas City, MO and Memphis, TN, in the US spent a week in March 203 on Windward with Jon and Tracy. Our priorities when looking for a boat were in this order. 1-Crew 2-Boat layout and amenities 3-Food/drinks and 4-Destination
Jon and Tracy were extremely attentive to our group throughout. For professional, absolutely first class service. We had previously taken a trip on a 67´ cat, but this 54´ Bali had an amazing, modern layout that felt equally as spacious and was meticulously maintained. The meals, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner were like dining at a first class restaurant. During the 7 night trip, we had 7 distinct BVI stops that will all provide their own unique memories.
For anyone considering a BVI sail cat, we highly recommend Jon & Tracy and the Windward boat. We would absolutely consider booking this combination again A+ experience!!!
Thank you so much for giving us the most memorable week! We look forward to doing this again with y´all!
-Madison & Jenny
You two are incredible! Thanks for making our family trip great!!
Hugs!
Kristi and Chad
Hope to see you next year!
March 2023
Jon & Tracy,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. From the moment we stepped on the boat, you outdid yourselves. We all came in not sure what to expect. Some of us thought we would be getting turkey, or even PB&J sandwiches for lunch. Each and every meal blew us away! We were saddend that we planned to go off the boat at all to eat. And while your suggestions on those places were wonderful, the meals and services (especially Jon´s A+ dish washing that he so enjoys) never were as good as on the boat. Tracy was amazing in knowing and anticipating our needs and accommodating gluten sensitivity. Jon was an amazing, calm captain who happily entertained our guys´s 1000 million questions. This trip far exceeded our expectations and we can´t wait to come back, but only if you will be our crew because we know anyone else would be disappointing. And don´t worry, next time, we´ll plan multiple speedo days and make sure to pre-order ours with faces on them for you too! Oh and thanks for putting up with Leroy. Cheers to next time!

Absolutely incredible trip!
Jon & Tracy, you made this a truly special memory for those of us who have done this a few times as well as the BVI virgins! The meals were incredible... far better than some of our favorite restaurants back home. And the effort to find the best spots in the BVI is seriously appreciated!
We had a lot of fun planning this adventure, and more than exceeded or ambitions. Thanks again for the great drinks, special experiences and lifelong memories!
Come see us in Dallas sometime soon!

Best vacation/escape ever! John and Tracy treated us like royalty which started before our trip and continued throughout our fantastic adventure. We will definitely return, but only with this crew! The food was amazing. The boat was perfect and stocked with everything we could possibly need. I could go on and on and still not adequately express our appreciation for the top notch professional service we received.

We can’t put our words to paper. We are speechless! But, we will quote a guy we met on the beach the first day ´I don’t want to over sell it, but this is going to be the trip of a lifetime!´ And truer words have never been said. John and Tracy were beyond amazing and made our trip magical. The scenic views, the gourmet food, the onshore adventures and the bond we made with each other will last a lifetime. Thank you John and Tracy for providing us an excellent experience that’s surpassed our wildest dreams! You two are the very best.

Spent the last 8 days with the wonderful crew of the Oceana touring the nooks and crannies of the BVI. Tracy is a wizard in the kitchen, presenting amazing meals every day. Jon is the sailing guru and kept everything running smooth the entire way. Jon and Tracy having the talent, knowledge and attention to detail made this experience most memorable and leaving a lasting impression of how much they care about making sure you are comfortable and happy the entire voyage.
Cheers,

We had an amazing vacation in the BVI on Oceana from the moment we entered the boat and were greeted by our strikingly good looking crew, Jon and Tracy. Jon and Tracy beautifully decorated the boat with striking, elegant coastal decor! Every detail is accounted for with the very best equipment and decor.
Jon is an impressive captain! We felt safe with his skilled competence and confidence! Impressive how knowledgeable he is! He also strives to create the ultimate experience for his guests.
Tracy is a 5 star chef! Every meal was a work of art and delicious! Tracy´s calm, patient style made our vacation an exceptional experience! We especially appreciated their taking us to the very best places in the BVI! We didn´t have to think about anything! The ultimate vacation! Thanks Jon and Tracy!

From start to finish this trip was AMAZING! Captain Jon did an excellent job of picking just the right spots for us to enjoy the good life. We had some great snorkeling and lots of fun playing with all the toys. Tracy did an amazing job on all of our meals, it is going to be difficult to get back in a routine of not eating as much. Oh, and I almost forgot! Kelly started this whole adventure off with some delicious rum punches when he picked us up at the airport. Thank you so much Tracy for making this family vacation so memorable!

I´ve been excited about this trip for months and dang near everything about the last week has exceeded my expectations! The boat is wonderful, but Jon and Tracy were absolutely phenomenal! They added so much to the experience of cruising the BVI. If I could, I´d pick them to crew any charter I ever take in the future. Thank you both so much for this awesome week of sailing!

My first trip to the BVI is one to remember! I cannot imagine a better crew than Tracy and Jon. Everything was absolutely perfect. Food, fun, sailing and everything in between. I don´t know if I´d ever be able to sail with any other crew. I´m coming down with friends and Jon and Tracy will be the captain and chef no doubt!
Cheers to the best (and a BVI sail to remember)!
Love, Jodi

It is difficult to imagine anything greater than sailing in the BVI, until you meet John and Tracy and discover a paradise vacation like no other! Both John & Tracy were the most amazing hosts we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. We felt an instant connection with them and consider them our close friends now. John is an unbelievable captain. He knew all there was to know, sailed the vessel perfectly, and even taught us anything we wanted to know about sailing. Tracy is so kind and fun. Her food was 5 star and every meal was so impressive. We were so excited they accepted our invitation to enjoy our time together by eating with us, playing games, and going out to dinner with us. They truly made our vacation one of the best we have ever had and we are already talking about another charter with them soon. I cannot recommend John and Tracy enough. So amazing!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

This was our first trip to the BVI and our first time sailing. This experience was out of this world! John and Tracy were absolutely amazing. John took the time to teach us all about sailing. Tracy made the most amazing meals, and delicious drinks. They were so kind to us and showed us the most gorgeous spots all around the islands. I never knew how much fun wakeboarding and subwinging in the ocean could be. Wee are obsessed with playing games and John and Tracy were always willing to learn them and play along with us! This experience was something we will never forget! New friends and new places. We are already planning our next charter with John and Tracy next year.
Cheers to anchor beers!

Tracy and Jon have been the best captain and chef! Every meal has been fantastic and every step along the way has been great! And I have asked many questions and Jon and Tracy have answered all of them. The time has flown by and I hate to leave, but all good things must come to an end. I would request Jon and Tracy again.
Tracy´s skills in the kitchen were awesome. So much talent and every meal was so tasty! Thank you Jon and Tracy for the most wonderful week aboard Oceana. Hopefully we will see you again.
Safe sailing and good health to both of you.

To put it simply, I did not want this trip to end! The BVI is one of the best places on earth and this charter reconfirmed that feeling for me. The Oceana is a fabulous vessel and it was amazing to be part of the group to be it´s first quests.
Tracy and Jon, thank you for creating an easy going and relaxing experience. From the sailing to the water sports, to the beyond delicious meals, to chilling with a glass of wine or other ´beverage´ ;) it was all incredible!
Bet of luck with your future charters and once again - an open invite if you are ever in Boston!

It was a distinct pleasure to be one of the first charters on this fantastic boat! Great to enjoy all its fantastic toys from the swim platform, the drone, and jet pods. The boat really makes you feel at home. Now the best part and the most enjoyable is the crew!! Tracy and Jon are wonderful, gracious hosts. Words cannot express their warmth and attention to the needs and wants of their guests.
Tracy´s meals were out of this world. Each day, morning, noon, and night. We didn´t want for anything. She always had a smile. Jon, what can you say, but he made sailing a pleasure. His knowledge and experience was evident in how he managed the boat. They are a great team and we enjoyed their company on and off the boat.
In summary, Oceana and Tracy and Jon. Great! Great! Great!
