Captain: Wade Phillip Ball
Tippee & Wade are no strangers to the water or to entertaining friends and family. And they are very excited to be on the Caribbean charter scene! There is nothing they are more passionate about than watching friends and family enjoying their Lagoon 450F and making memories.
Their motto is “Dream it. Then do it”. And that’s exactly what they are doing. Both have an entrepreneurial spirit and love the challenge of a new adventure. They both retired early from the corporate world after 30 years and immediately started an online business and began to execute on their dream of owning a catamaran and chartering in the Virgin Islands. Both love to travel, but the Virgin Islands stole their hearts a few years prior when they were married on St John, so this is where they decided to execute their dream!
A funny story they tell is that when they met, Wade was an “all power” toy aficionado. He owned several “power toys” including a power boat. Tippee had developed a passion for sailing in her 20’s while sailing off the beach in Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. And she preferred the quieter art of sailing versus power. When first asked about sailing, Wade’s response was “I don’t sail, I like power and speed”. That all quickly changed when Tippee planned their first sailing adventure off the coast of South Carolina. He loves to shut off the engines on their lagoon 450F and just listen to the wind. And as they say “the rest is history”.
Wade and Tippee have five children, ranging in age from 20-30 years old. Four daughters and one son. They also have three grandchildren. When they aren’t sailing or traveling, spending time with them is their favorite thing to do. They also love to fish and Tippee usually catches the biggest fish! But Wade is ok with that as long as it’s something she can cook for him.
Tippee’s love of cooking was inspired early in her life by friends and family who shaped her culinary talents. She continues to actively educate herself and learn new flavors and techniques in her culinary art. Her famous pasta with Italian Gravy is a frequently requested item from friends and family.
Wade has always loved the water, owning boats since college. Since falling in love with sailing, he has been actively educating himself on both the art of sailing and has received his captain’s license. Wade is an avid DIY’er and has ample opportunity to use his talents on the boat.
Whiskey Business also has a third crew member. He’s a four legged crew member who greets guests and enamors them with his piercing blue eyes. “Bo”, part husky and part gray hound was rescued by Tippee when he was three months old and is very emotionally intelligent! He’s never met a stranger and he might just be your favorite crew member. "Bo" can be boarded upon request.
Tippee & Wade believe that experiences and adventures are the best gift you can give your family and friends. And they love being part of helping others make memories to last a lifetime. They look forward to helping you and your family or friends make amazing memories on Whiskey Business!

Reviews
The five of us could not have experienced a better week. It was flawless and pure enjoyment. We were in a stress free environment. They took care of everything and there was nothing too difficult for Tippee and Wade to do for us.
We sailed; we swam; we fished; we hiked; we snorkeled; we paddled on the SUPs; we spent time on a beach and had lunch delivered to us by Tippee and Wade. And, we helped celebrate Tippee’s birthday with a live music concert on board. With all of those activities, there was still time to relax, read, chat and laugh together. It was perfect!
We chose the all inclusive option and are so glad we did. Tippee is an exemplary chef. She made magic happen in the galley. No matter whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we were never disappointed. The meals from the galley rival 5 star restaurants, thanks to Tippee’s expertise and innovations. Wade is an excellent captain. But, also, his ability to mix up a variety of delicious drinks is simply the best. Again, never disappointed. He was continually making sure we we had the equipment needed for all our aquatic adventures. And, Bo was a wonderful companion for our sailing adventure. Bo charmed us all, greeting us every morning with loving nudges and kisses.
This vacation and our time aboard Whiskey Business with Tippee, Wade, & Bo was just wonderful! We felt comfortable, pampered, and loved. We cherish the memories we have from this wonderful and memorable vacation. Our time together has made us lifelong friends and we look forward to another adventure in the future
We all recommend trying a sailing charter on Whiskey Business. You will not be disappointed.

The boat cabins and shared spaces were spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, the drinks and meals were outstanding, we had just the right combination of activities and down time, and Tippee and Wade were generally just a great team at making sure we were taken care of at every step. And on top of all of that, they were fun to be around and became instant friends.
Highly recommend!
As Wade and Tippee say…….DREAM IT. THEN DO IT!
“Until the next hello!”
Thank you Wade & Tippee Bishop Ball for taking such good care us and opening your boat and sharing you dog Bo with us. It was a week we will never forget.

These two are the greatest! Their boat is awesome! The sweetest dog named Bo! Tippee cooked lunch and it was great. She has so much information about the history and area that is very interesting. Wade is an awesome captain!! Definitely recommend them!
Oh and we can't forget below deck Bo!! The seaworthy pup that stole our hearts.
We just came back from sailing with Wade and Tippee and cannot wait to share with you a brief look into our adventure on Whiskey Business!
The food, the adventures, the hospitality, the company was every bit of perfection! We know this will be our first of many trips with Wade, Tippee and Bo.
Our family is forever grateful for this trip with your family, it was truly magical!
