AD ASTRA 5.4 | Luxury Crewed Catamaran

The BVI takes on a more personal and memorable character aboard AD ASTRA 5.4 with Captain Lukata Samuel and Chef Benita Marshall guiding the journey. Captain Lukata, a 100 Ton Master born and raised in the Virgin Islands, has been sailing since the age of eight and brings a lifetime of familiarity with the Caribbean to every charter. His background includes youth sailing instruction in St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well as charter leadership across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, giving him both strong technical confidence and a natural ease on the water. Guests can settle in knowing that safety, route planning, and local expertise are in the hands of someone who truly understands these islands.

Chef Benita Marshall brings a wonderfully rounded presence on board, with credentials and experience that go well beyond the galley. She also holds a 100 Ton Master license, has sailed more than 5,000 nautical miles, and spent six years in the culinary world refining a farm-to-table style inspired by her family farms, Meder Mogzit, and Greenridge Guavaberry. Her menus celebrate Caribbean ingredients and vibrant flavors, creating dining moments that feel both nourishing and full of place. Whether it is a fresh breakfast to begin the day, a colorful lunch between anchorages, or a beautifully presented dinner at sunset, her cooking helps define the rhythm and pleasure of the charter.

There is also a deeper sense of island life that this crew brings so effortlessly to the experience. Lukata curates each charter with local artistry, fresh provisions, and cultural immersion, while Benita’s radiant personality, wellness background, and certified yoga and fitness instruction add warmth and balance to time on board. Together, they offer more than smooth cruising and excellent meals; they create a journey where food, culture, and ocean adventure come together naturally in the BVI. On AD ASTRA 5.4, that blend makes every day feel meaningful as well as enjoyable.

Overview:
There is a bright, easy rhythm to AD ASTRA 5.4 that makes her such an enjoyable yacht to experience in the Caribbean. The Bali 5.4 crewed catamaran has been designed to give guests generous space for socializing, entertaining, and dining outdoors, all while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. She suits groups who enjoy spending time together without ever feeling crowded, offering areas for celebration, quiet lounging, and everything in between. Add in a wide range of water toys, and the result is a yacht that effortlessly balances comfort with play.

What makes her feel especially inviting is the way she uses her forward deck space. Rather than the standard trampoline arrangement, AD ASTRA 5.4 features comfortable sun pads and a cockpit table area that encourages guests to settle in and truly enjoy being at anchor. It is easy to picture long afternoons here with friends and family, a light breeze moving through, drinks on the table, and nowhere else you need to be. Up on the expansive flybridge, the mood shifts slightly higher, both literally and visually, with sweeping Caribbean island views and the perfect setting for a refreshing cocktail as the scenery unfolds around you. These outdoor areas make every part of the day feel well-placed and easy to savor.

Inside, the yacht feels every bit as welcoming, with private cabins carefully designed to support rest and privacy throughout the charter. Each one includes an ensuite bathroom with a separate shower and plush bedding, making it easy to recharge after a full day in the sun and sea. The saloon provides another comfortable retreat, whether you feel like unwinding with a book or enjoying a game with loved ones in the cooler part of the day. Open the garage-style door, and the saloon extends directly to the aft deck, creating a large open social space that blurs the boundary between inside and out in the best possible way.

Adventure comes naturally once you arrive in Virgin Gorda, where the extensive selection of water toys on board invites guests to get straight into the action. From surface fun to underwater exploration, the surrounding Caribbean waters offer plenty of reasons to stay active and curious. When the excitement winds down, AD ASTRA 5.4 is right there with all the space and comfort needed to slow the pace again. She creates the kind of charter experience where every day feels full, yet never rushed.
