MEET YOUR CREW:
Captain: Stewart Bottomley
Chef: Reeve Forget
Stewart's sailing journey began at a young age when he attended sailing camps in Ireland during the long, adventurous summer holidays. A way to keep him out of the house, these camps quickly sparked a deep passion for the sea that would stay with him.
After spending the COVID lockdown in London, Stewart realized it was time for a change. In 2022, he completed his RYA Yachtmaster and made the bold decision to pursue a life on the water. Since then, he has not looked back, spending two incredible seasons sailing in the Caribbean and three in the Mediterranean. Each experience has only deepened his love for the ocean and strengthened his desire to share that passion with others.
Stewart is also an avid traveler, having explored over 50 countries across the globe. Whether it’s a bustling city or a quiet island, he loves immersing himself in new cultures and discovering hidden gems around the world.
A keen diver, Stewart began scuba diving at the age of 14 and hasn’t stopped since. As a qualified PADI Divemaster, he’s always on the lookout for hidden dive spots, eager to explore the underwater world and share his discoveries with guests.
Reeve is an experienced yacht chef with a passion for cooking and sailing.
She began her career as a sous chef and transitioned to yacht cuisine five years ago, blending her culinary expertise with her love for the ocean.
Learning to sail small dinghies about a decade ago in France, made her realize she feels most at home on the water.
With a keen artistic eye and majoring in photography at university, she truly appreciates the beauty of sailing these beautiful islands and crystal blue waters.
Reeve thrives on the ever-changing conditions and challenges of cooking at sea which enhances her love for crafting exceptional meals.
As your charter captain and chef, Stewart and Reeve, are excited to welcome you aboard Ether and provide you with unforgettable experiences on the water, combining their love for sailing, cooking, diving, and adventure.

And the Ether was fully outfitted for luxury & fun.
Expect a spectacular vacation!!
Kathleen B.
The Ether was comfortable and Reeve made amazing gourmet meals.
Stewart was knowledgeable and patient and fun.
10 out of 10 would happily repeat.
Jan W.
Stewart and Reeve were absolutely amazing. Very patient with all our shenanigans.
The food was some of the very best I’ve ever had, Reeve is an absolutely amazing chef the presentation and the quality was amazing and delicious.(she even had her own herb garden she used in the meals)
I can’t give enough praise for these two truly the best experience ever!
Nate T.
The real stars of our vacation were Captain Stewart and First mate/chef Reeve. These two are the best kind of humans! Generous with their upbeat energy and humor.
Whether sailing, snorkeling, or sitting around playing board games, we had the absolute best time with them. Frankly, we don’t know if we will be able to enjoy future vacations without them. I could gush on and on about how wonderful they are.
Cherry on top, Reeve is an exceptional chef, she made the most wonderful meals! We only ate one meal off the boat and I definitely preferred her cooking.

10/10 and hope to sail with you both again next year!
Matthew H.
Lots of snacks offered on board if someone got hungry between meals and we had lots of opportunities to explore in the ocean and on land, if we wanted.

Every aspect of the trip was customized to our preferences, from the itinerary to the excellent meals. Stewart and Reeve have a calm, confident way about them that made everything feel effortless. We know that sailing and hospitality come with their challenges, but if there were any, we never noticed—they handled everything smoothly.
Beyond the great experiences they created for us, Stewart and Reeve were simply great company. Spending a week in close quarters with them was easy and enjoyable, and we’d happily sail with them again. If you're looking for a charter, *Ether* with Stewart and Reeve is a great choice.
Beth H
Stuart and Reeve were incredible. They made the experience. We saw some beautiful spots, snorkeled and paddle boarded.
Reeve’s food was delicious. Presentation was great and food was very flavorful.
Stuart was not only a great captain but also a great bartender! 😀 Overall, we highly recommend Stuart and Reeve!
Dragos S.
Capt Stewart and Chef Reeve exceeded all expectations.
From the moment we boarded, they made us feel like Ether was our home.
With their signature warmth and humor, they tended to our every need.
We sailed, kayaked, snorkeled, learned how to do stand up paddle boarding, and did nothing at all when we felt like it.
On top of that, we feasted on Reeve’s creative and delicious meals three times a day. The trip may have been only a week, but our lovely memories will last a lifetime.
Patrice K
Our time on the Ether with Stewart and Reeve combined all of the above and more. It was a perfect week of sailing the BVI - full of beautiful locations, lots of laughter and wonderful conversations with our dear friends, as well as our new ones, Stewart and Reeve.
They allowed us to be as active (or not) as we wanted . . . Lazy napping, paddle boarding, kayaking, a bit of snorkeling, a light hike, and taking the wheel of the Ether (without incident)! We would return to this boat - and with this crew - in a flash. It was a beautiful week we’ll always remember. Thank you Reeve and Stewart for your graciousness, hospitality and care. We look forward to sailing with you again very soon!
Melody B.
To say that our week with Stewart and Reeve, aboard Ether was above &beyond our expectations doesn’t do justice to the incredible experience provided to us. From our initial communication, and throughout the entire trip, their attention to detail, easy-going and relaxed manner and humor created an atmosphere that was as special as the stunning beauty surrounding us.
The itinerary, planned by the amazing Captain Stewart brought us to sunny beaches, great snorkeling spots, hiking adventures, fantastic sailing days, paddle boarding, and “subnado” runs was eclipsed only by the scrumptious menu, crafted by our spectacular chef Reeve.
We’ll miss Captain Stewart’s morning breakfast calls, Reeve’s warm morning smile with a full pot of coffee in hand, all the laughs, and jokes throughout the day. We left lots of bubbles in the water, and took memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t thank this crew enough, or express how they really made our trip one of the most memorable times of my life.
Reeve and Stewart a special crew!
Lynn J.
Such a heartfelt thank you to Stewart and Reeve for such fantastic hospitality. I think we can all agree that we’re going to miss the banter, laughter, warmth and exceptional dishes that were served every day.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🫶
Dana J.
Marisia - your attention to meals was over the top and much appreciated. I don't think we ate one thing that we didn't like. We also appreciated the variety of snacks set out for any time. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious never lose that ! You and Ivan both made us feel at home and inspire us to return sooner than later. We will definitely miss you especially Monday morning when we are making our own breakfast! You two are truly something special and we feel blessed to know you. We wish you all the luck.
Thank you for the most unforgettable week and for letting us be part of your world. Stay in touch .

Marisia and Ivan
Thank you so much for a wonderful trip !
You two made us truly feel so welcome and special, you thought of everything from the details on our meal table, delicious meals , exciting snorkel/diving adventure, kayaking, game times and all the exciting islands, you took us to explore. We really enjoyed getting to know you both. You are such a amazing, kind, thoughtful friends. Thanks for making our trip the trip of a lifetime - Maley
We all got to experience new things and some of us conquered our fears of the ocean thanks to the calm and expert guidance of Ivan and Marisia. When we get home we will all forever be longing to hear the conch shell for marisia's spectacular meals. Please come visit us. Thank you for a week of unforgettable memories.
-The Loewinsohn Charter
Ivan and Marisia you guys make the best team.
Ivan, your patient , encouraging, experienced and knowledgeable and a kind finger doctor that saved Abis life. Your expertise at the helm is fun to watch.
Marisia, your cotagions zest for life and all ocean creatures is a breath of fresh air. You are so fun and bubbly. The food always on point --> taste, timing and presentation. You make it all look so easy. Thank you both.
We are going home relaxed and will have a lifetime of memories to play over and over.
-The Harris Family
Thank you for making this past week the most memorable, relaxing and fun week ever! I feel so lucky to have gotten to know you both-here's to more adventures together.
Xo Hopie
ps Marisia- your energy is electrifying; thank you for everything!
Ivan and Marisia,
Wow...what an amazing week! We all loved everything we did, everything we ate, and we love you!
Love,
Karen
Ivan and Marisia,
I just want to thank you both immensely for the wonderful week on Ether. You guys were the chillest, most down to earth pair of captains I could possibly imagine and made our week amazing. Forever grateful for all the amazing food and calm leadership this week. Best of luck with everything you guys do in the future!
The yacht itself was beautiful, clean, well maintained and comfortable. However, the magic was created by Ivan and Marisia.
We were greeted by Ivan and Marisia at out taxi with pure excitement and warmth-we were made to feel special immediately. Their eagerness to create a truly memorable vacation was remarkable.
Ivan's experience and professionalism and competency as a captain put us all at ease.
Marisia is an outstanding chef. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner was better than any of the "top" restaurants we have visited. There was great variety each day and the presentation made you feel like you were in a fine dining restaurant. We can honestly say that every meal was delicious!
Fianlly Ivan and Marisia worked together as an amazing team dedicated to creating a fun experience for all. We snorkeled, tubed, visited multiple island beaches, went to fun bars, explored the baths in VG and much more. The detail and care put into everything we did was remarkable.
Thank you so much for an amazing trip.
-The Wiggins Family
-The Andersons
Marisia is also just an absolute ray of sunshine. I'm not sure that I've ever met someone with so much energy & levity- it's absolutely contagious. She served absolutely amazing food every single day, paying special attention to dietary needs, and even went above and beyond when my 30th birthday arrived on the last day of our charter. She not only baked an incredible cake, but had a competition series for the entire boat to participate in. Oh- and decorated my cabin full of balloons! She always has a smile on her face and is eager to help in any way you might need.
Overall this team is absolutely phenomenal at what they do. From technical knowledge, to amazing customer service- they provide everything any charter guest would need. I would highly recommend them to anyone or any company. They will not disappoint.
-Kate and Chris
Marisia and Ivan were truly a dynamic duo. Two very important parts of the guest charter experience are professionalism in yachting skills and hospitality.
They excelled in both!
Ivan is a skilled sailor while cruising and is very mechanical, keeping everything clean and working. He is also an excellent dive master.
Marisia is a skilled sailing mate and has top notch galley skills, preparing wonderful meals. What strikes me most is their happiness and rhythm as a working couple.
They run an excellent charter and it was probably the best I've seen in the last ten years as an avid charterer. Most notable is their local know ledge and their ability to make guests feel comfortable. They are truly lovely and personable people.
-Joyce
Marisia is a friendly, outgoing, professional individual. She added so much value to our trip! Marisia is definitely a people person, making everyone feel comfortable and keeping things upbeat and fun.
She went out of her way to make sure we were all having a good time and always asked for feedback to make sure she was keeping all of us happy. She is a h
hard worker and with a great attitude and should go far in whatever career she pursues!
Hoping to sail with her agian!
-Lynn
Richard and Dom,
Thank you for feeding us some of the best food we've ever eaten, motoring us to every "must see" spot in the BVI and entertaining us with stories your own adventures.
I feel like we came to Ether as customers, but left as friends.
We truly could not have had a more enjoyable vacation.
Thanks for the memories,
Patrick
Thank you so much for everything!
Thanks and praise to Richard and Dom. With them at the helm you can't go wrong!
Your kindness is stellar your knowledge complete .
To keep us all happy was your amazing feat!
What was our favorite, one might ask... Anegada, lobsters or just maybe the Baths?
Our sail, this trip is one for the books. A tribute to friendship and 40 year old vows that we took!
So we thank you and honor you doing so much for us, teaching Nancy to sail and carrying my phone with no fuss.
Wishing you both fair winds and calm seas, the you are with your best friends life is a BREEZE!
Love,
Don and Jane

You guys are sooooo nice and I will forever remember this trip! Food was down right Awesome! – Katherine
Tubing was awesome! My Favourite meal was steak! – Lauren
Right off the bat: the boat was new and the crew said we were only their second charter in the BVI’s, due to some sort of permitting or something? At first I was a little nervous wondering how it was going to go, but they could not have been more enthusiastic about where we were headed and what we were going to see. Captain Ben was super-laid back and friendly and very knowledgeable. Charlie was an excellent cook, very sociable and smart, and even taught the girls how to play a few new games. They really were a delight, which in that situation is really a make or break! Plus, they were young so the girls thought they were cool!!!
I’m not sure what other feedback to give, other than it was a great trip for our family and we made a lot of amazing memories! Thank you for all you did!!!!
Our best memories are the Anegada snorkeling tour, the sail to and from Anegada, diving the Rhone wreck and seeing the goliath grouper! Dancing at Foxy’s, Willie T’s Jump, Deep sea fishing, Driving the Mokes, best naps, kayaking, the baths, playing uno, the solitude at Great Camano, spending time with family and friends, making new friends, first ever snorkeling and sailing for the kids Riley and Parker : Best week of our lives
Kat & Blaise, Karen + Glenn, Janice + Sully”
“His professionalism on and off the boat was just awesome. He always made sure are sailing conditions were perfect. I had a hard time adjusting to walking the plank and each time I looked up he was there with open hands to help. Benoît should be the model of how a yacht week skipper should handle themselves for guest.”
“I have nothing but great things to say about our skipper Ben! Very professional and made sure we where safe. He made our holiday a great experience. Ben was very knowledgeable but the places we were going to visit. First class skipper a must request for our next YW holiday. ”
