BODHISATTVA | Luxury Crewed Sailing Yacht

The experience aboard BODHISATTVA in the BVI begins with the capable leadership of Captain Adam Buyskes, supported by Chef Tamsyn Engelbrecht, a crew of 2 who know how to balance adventure, comfort, and attentive service. Adam’s sailing life started in Knysna, South Africa, where he learned on dinghies and his father’s 60ft gaff-rigged ketch before crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean at 18. Since then, he has built 25 years of expert skippering experience on both sail and power boats, commercial and recreational, while also qualifying as a certified salvage diver, commercial diver, and large crane operator. His long-standing connection to the British Virgin Islands, where he has lived for 17 years, allows him to guide guests with confidence through the region’s standout anchorages, exciting dive rendezvous, and top watersport locations, all with safety as his foremost priority.

Tamsyn brings another layer of enjoyment to the charter through her strong hospitality background and genuine passion for culinary experiences. Born in South Africa, she has spent 7 years working in Forbes-rated hotels, exclusive country clubs, and within the yachting industry in the United States and the Mediterranean, giving her a refined sense of service along with strong mixology skills. Guests can expect flavorful meals inspired by cuisines from around the world, thoughtfully served in the beautiful Caribbean surroundings of the BVI, along with cocktails that suit the mood of the moment. Her creative flair, enthusiastic attitude, and attention to small details make time aboard BODHISATTVA feel especially warm, polished, and easy to enjoy.

The beauty of the British Virgin Islands feels even more immersive aboard BODHISATTVA, a Jeanneau 64 crewed sailing yacht with a sophisticated exterior and a wonderfully streamlined presence on the water. She has been shaped for seamless sailing through bright turquoise bays, allowing guests to enjoy the journey as much as the anchorages themselves. Whether the mood on board is lively and social or slow and restorative, her amenities support every side of the charter experience with ease. She offers the kind of environment where each day feels open to possibility, with comfort and enjoyment built into every part of the yacht.

Dinner on the aft deck quickly becomes one of the most memorable rituals on board, especially when your private chef serves a lobster and seafood feast while the sun sinks beside Anegada Island. The combination of fresh flavors, sea views, and the gentle movement of the yacht creates an atmosphere that is hard to leave behind. Later, the upper deck lounge offers a more intimate setting, with plush seating and wide views over Jost Van Dyke that seem to draw everyone into the moment. It is a lovely place to share a quiet conversation, enjoy a drink, or simply let the beauty of the islands settle in.

Step below, and the interior shifts the mood into something calm, chic, and immediately inviting. The open-plan layout has been designed to create warmth and ease, giving guests a stylish place to spend time together while still enjoying plenty of personal comfort. Her cabins, each with a private ensuite, feel particularly welcoming after a day in the sun, offering a soft and restful retreat where you can properly recharge. It is the kind of interior that makes waking up on board feel just as enjoyable as the day ahead.

Then there is Virgin Gorda, where the waters come alive with activity and the yacht’s impressive selection of water toys invites guests to dive straight into the fun. It is the perfect place to explore the vibrant marine life above and beneath the waves, adding a lively sense of discovery to the charter.
