I've seen Adriana (the captain) next to us at Soggy Dollar - she's a tornado. In 30 seconds, she set up & launched an efoil, picked up guest drinks, served new drinks, checked on the guests on the Flybridge, came back to give more instructions to the guest on the efoil.... Kept going like that for the 30 minutes we've been next to Hourglass...
If you want service of a 3 crew yacht but pay for 2 crew - i'd go with Adriana. I wish that all crews in the BVI offered this level of service - where the tip is actually deserved!
Fantastic master with walk in closet
Grandparents room for easy access- more room and lower bed, easy to get in.

Captain: Adriana Vega
Winner's of both "Judge's Choice" and "People's Choice" in the Rum Mixology competition of the 2025 VIPCA Charter Yacht Show
Captain Adriana Vega
Captain Adriana was born and raised in Puerto Rico, spending much of her life in and around the water. Her passion for sailing blossomed in her twenties when her father bought his first cruising sailboat, allowing her to explore some of the Caribbean's most exotic sailing destinations. Before these adventures, she attended college in Florida, earning a BBA degree. While in Florida, she also worked in the service industry, where she honed her passion for entertaining. This unique background enabled her to combine her love for the water and hosting, leading to a fulfilling career as a charter captain. Adriana's success in the industry is a testament to her determination and hard work.
Chef/First Mate Dasha Fiegal
Originally from Slovenia, Chef Dasha brings a dynamic blend of international experience, creativity, and a passion for travel to life on board. Her journey into the culinary world began nearly a decade ago after leaving her career as a hairdresser to explore the world, living in both New Zealand and Australia. It was during this time that she discovered her love for cooking, which naturally led her into the yachting industry.
Since 2019, Dasha has worked as a professional charter yacht chef across the Mediterranean and Caribbean, including multiple seasons in Greece and the Virgin Islands. She has extensive experience as both Chef and First Mate, delivering full-board charters for up to 12 guests while also supporting interior and deck operations. Her background includes numerous successful term charters aboard a variety of catamarans, where she has been responsible for menu planning, provisioning, and consistently delivering high-quality onboard dining experiences.
Her cooking style is creative, health-focused, and guest-oriented, with a strong foundation in international cuisine. She is highly skilled in accommodating special diets and tailoring menus to suit individual guest preferences, all while maintaining excellent galley organization and efficiency.
Dasha's talent has also been recognized beyond the yacht industry. She was a finalist on MasterChef Slovenia and the winner of Kuhinja Prihodnosti, earning the title of Best Future Chef in Slovenia in 2022.
Active and adventurous by nature, Dasha enjoys Muay Thai, kickboxing, yoga, and a wide range of sports. She is known for her easygoing personality, strong work ethic, and willingness to embrace new challenges — qualities that translate seamlessly into creating memorable and enjoyable experiences for her guests.

Reviews
Then when we arrived in Tortola and saw our boat…WOW!! Gorgeous; big; so many spots to “hang/chill/sun”; greeted by Capt Adriana and Chef Daryl….not even sure where to begin w/ the both of them!!!!
They are top notch…Adi is just adorable, engaging, knows her stuff and made our trip beyond magical…Chef Daryls food was off the charts delicious!!!! They made the trip so enjoyable by taking us where we wanted to go and always accommodating our needs…took them out to dinner with our group of 8 to the Lobster Trap, so that they would be able to enjoy an evening off the boat with us….
It was truly a trip of a life time and worth the money!!!! We literally can’t wait to go again…and based off of peoples responses to my stories, I have shared that this was the way to go!!!
To be here over the Christmas week has been so special.
We can’t wait to see you again on this amazing boat.
With love, Katharine, James, Ben, Max + Liv

charter through the BYl's!" Thank you for the beautiful private
Adriana, everyday felt perfectly planned yet effortlessly relaxed, and we couldn't have asked for a better person as captain.
Daryl, your cooking was truly a highlight of the trip- each meal was thoughtful, delicious, and a part of the Caribbean tradition.
We are so grateful for you both for the warmth, talent, & heart you brought to this joumey.
These memones we'll treasure forever!

Thank you for being such wonderful hosts and taking such great care of our family.
Somehow you managed to anticipate everything we needed before we knew we needed it! Your care & attention to detail is impressive.
Every spot we stopped was tantastic, the food always incredible, and hearing your stories about life on the water was inspiring.
It was a dream trip and we're grateful that it was shared with the both of you. Until next time!
- The Arndts & Hugh Jazz
Wow! What an amazing week!!
Adriana, you are a special soul; you are kind, brilliant, beautiful, and you have a way about you that puts everyone at ease.
The sites you chose were spot on and accommodated the divergent needs of our family. Thank you so much for making this trip so memorable.
You are officially an honorary member of the Frank family!
Daryl, if anyone deserves a Michelin Star it’s you! Your culinary cuisine transcended all parts of the world and tantalized our tastebuds throughout the trip.
Thank you both for creating such a spectacular experience for our family!
XOXO Lynn, Todd, Sami & Dani
We swam with nurse sharks, barracudas, turtles, and saw beautiful coral fans. We tried the e-foil and the floating mat, played President and Piau Piou for hours, and enjoyed so much incredible food.
Our entire family is grateful for these memories—we will cherish them forever.
Clex, Matthieu, Arthur, Laxence, Lou & Augustin
1. Adriana’s hugs, caviar, and Pringles welcome greeting
2. Perfect Diet Coke calculations — and those sneaky Coke Zeros
3. Hanging out on the top of the boat
4. Martin’s DJ skills!
5. Super sneaky and stealthy breakfast cabin cleanups before the girls’ trip to the shops
6. Closing the kitchen… but still letting us in to answer endless culinary questions
7. Specialty drinks and dancing in the kitchen
8. You both anticipated and personalized every need and want the whole trip!
9. Just… everything about Adriana & Martin 💛
1. The purple cave — glowing and mysterious
2. Adriana’s Painkillers and Rum Punches (those drinks were amazing!)
3. Martin’s food (we honestly can’t even pick a favorite!)
4. Zipping around on the e-foil and other water toys
5. Walker’s “sunburned hot dog legs” 😆
Thank you, Martin and Adriana, for a wonderful week we will remember forever.

time cruising the BVIs- snorkeling, sailing, eating the best meals & of
course the cocktails. Thank you for hosting our crew of 10! Indulging
the kids & never ending questions. What a week- Captain Adriana and
Chef Rachel you are the best!
Team Lewis & Ashton & Guenthner
Charter was absolutely wonderful! You guys were so awesome and
made the trip so smooth, it was so awesome getting to know both of
you and I couldn’t imagine a better crew to have lived with for the past
week.
Y’all are incredible
-Lily
This experience has been better than I ever could’ve expected and
that is very much due to you two going above and beyond for us this
whole week. I will miss the amazing food and top notch sailing so
much - even though we didn’t get to see Alix Earle, I couldn’t have
asked for a better senior spring break!
❤️ Nonah
spring break ever. You guys are so fun and amazing.
Thanks-
Jack -12
was the cooc coco. Capt Adriana was really nice and was the best
captain I could ask for. I didn’t have a favorite part because everything
was so fun.
Owen -10
I ever could have imagined. The food Rachel made was so great and I
never would’ve expected such amazing food on a boat. I am sad that
we never got to push Captain Adriana into the water, but your jokes
were always so funny. Thanks again for everything and I hope we
were your favorite guess of the season.
❤️ Frankie -14
memories that I will never forget. Thank you for answering all my
questions. You guys made everything so fun and the amazing food/

a better captain and chef. You all are extremely lovely women and it
has been a pleasure getting to spend time with you! Please keep in
touch and we will do this again next year.

Talli
could not have made the trip more memorable. They provided
outstanding service and fun! She always found the best mooring spots
for us. We loved having them come with us on adventures to karaoke
at Bitter End, explore the Baths, experience Willy T’s and so much
more. Captain was so flexible and accommodating. We really
appreciated her teaching our son Charlie to sail- she was so patient.
And chef Rachel- WOW!! She has such a passion for cooking. So
many wonderful meals- we actually ran out of adjectives
complementing her meals. We especially loved the salmon bowls,
lobster and rice. We could go on and on. Thank you so very much for
everything you did to make our BVI vacation so incredible!
Lots of love,
Holly, Allen (Piglet), Erin, Charlie, Mieler, Ben
dime, made us feel extremely welcome and prepared food better than
a five ⭐ restaurant! Took us to all the cool spots. We all got to do
what we wanted to and they catered to our young adults too! Amazing
trip, Beautiful scenery, sails of a master and artistic and delicious
meals! I don’t know how we could have had a better trip, other than for
the week not to end! Thanks to the Memento Amori- what a
catamaran!! Set up perfect for our crew.
Thank you all for making our trip memorable!
Reese
Thank you for everything you did for our group! My favorite part was
getting to know you both.
Until we meet again!
Love,
Brooke
our first day’s welcome to our final breakfast. ( nice job on that
rainbow :)! ) this trip has exceeded our expectations. We look forward
to following you “on social” and can hardly wait to hear about what you
both do next.
-G Family
thoughtfully appointed (and roomy) catamaran. Their local knowledge
is excellent taking us to some fun party spots and some peaceful out
of the way hideaways we couldn’t have asked for a better crew.
Rachael’s food was outstanding. We ate better on the boat than at any
of our meals on shore. Everything aboard this operation is first class.
-Bill & Michelle K.
attentive, accommodating, and they seemed to know our needs and
wants without our having to ask. We enjoyed their humor and
flexibility. We also felt safe and they did an excellent job caring for us
and keeping us safe.
wedding anniversary in style. I know it was your first voyage together,
but it seemed like you have been together for years. The trip was the
perfect blend of relaxation, fine dining, sightseeing, and fun. I hope we
can see both of you back on the Memento Amori again in the near
future.
