Crew Information

Chef

Captain: Rob Bentley

*Book your vacation with an award-winning yacht! We're excited to announce that Belinda took home 2nd place in the Culinary Competition at the 2023 VIPCA Show!*

Captain
Rob Bentley

Born in South Africa and growing up on the East coast of Kwa Zulu Natal, Rob has been a “water boy” his whole life. He is an accomplished sailor with over 30,000 sea miles under his belt on a range of vessels.

Worthy of mention was the family sailing adventure where Rob, Belinda and their 2 children embarked on a 4-year world cruise on their catamaran, Shayile. They cruised the East Coast of Africa, Indian Ocean, SE Asia, Indonesia, and Australia.

Rob has a passion for the ocean and loves water sports. He is a qualified surf life saver, pilot, advanced diver, and avid fisherman. He has a particular passion for salt water flyfishing. He loves to go out and hopefully return with something delicious to toss on the BBQ. Mountaineering is Rob's other passion, and he has hours of adventures on mountains spanning the globe. His epic adventure to Mt. Everest is worth listening to over a cocktail sundowner!

When Rob is not out skippering and entertaining, you will see him working in the galley with Belinda. Cocktails and the BBQ are part of Rob’s regime, and he knows the perfect stories to tell while you enjoy them!

Chef
Belinda Bentley

Born and raised on the East Coast of South Africa, Belinda has spent her life close to the sea, camping, swimming, scuba diving and fishing as well as hiking and climbing the inland Drakensberg mountains.

She is a ‘people’s person’ and in addition to her culinary training, is also trained as a professional nurse, specializing in maternity.

Belinda is a generous and passionate cook who has been influenced by travel and time spent in many different countries. She is particularly fond of Asian cuisine, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, but also enjoys spicy Mexican, Indian and Mediterranean influences.

She loves to cook fish and seafood and pair it with local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. She enjoys bright and bold flavours, especially citrus notes which do well to compliment the Caribbean climate. Delicious cool and creamy desserts round off dinner and ensure full and satisfied guests!

Waking up to fresh morning coffee and watching the sun set with drinks and appetizers are the absolute essence of life aboard and she can’t wait to welcome you!

wpcf_mainimg_description: Book your vacation with an award-winning yacht! Mystic is the 2nd place winner of the Culinary Competition at the 2023 VIPCA Show! The Bali 5.4 is a “Multihull of the Year” award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Mystic. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Mystic will accommodate 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling master cabin for those who desire more space. She is a brand new 2023 sailing catamaran with teak on the aft yacht, hydraulic lift, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Mystic giveaways.

Mystic is the 2nd place winner of the Culinary Competition at the 2023 VIPCA Show! The Bali 5.4 is a “Multihull of the Year” award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the “Bali garage door” that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Mystic. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Mystic will accommodate 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling master cabin for those who desire more space. She is a brand new 2023 sailing catamaran with teak on the aft yacht, hydraulic lift, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Mystic giveaways.

We're excited to announce that Belinda took home 2nd place in the Culinary Competition at the 2023 VIPCA Show!*<br /> <br /> Captain<br /> Rob Bentley<br /> <br /> Born in South Africa and growing up on the East coast of Kwa Zulu Natal, Rob has been a “water boy” his whole life. He is an accomplished sailor with over 30,000 sea miles under his belt on a range of vessels.<br /> <br /> Worthy of mention was the family sailing adventure where Rob, Belinda and their 2 children embarked on a 4-year world cruise on their catamaran, Shayile. They cruised the East Coast of Africa, Indian Ocean, SE Asia, Indonesia, and Australia. <br /> <br /> Rob has a passion for the ocean and loves water sports. He is a qualified surf life saver, pilot, advanced diver, and avid fisherman. He has a particular passion for salt water flyfishing. He loves to go out and hopefully return with something delicious to toss on the BBQ. Mountaineering is Rob's other passion, and he has hours of adventures on mountains spanning the globe. His epic adventure to Mt. Everest is worth listening to over a cocktail sundowner!<br /> <br /> When Rob is not out skippering and entertaining, you will see him working in the galley with Belinda. Cocktails and the BBQ are part of Rob’s regime, and he knows the perfect stories to tell while you enjoy them!<br /> <br /> Chef<br /> Belinda Bentley<br /> <br /> Born and raised on the East Coast of South Africa, Belinda has spent her life close to the sea, camping, swimming, scuba diving and fishing as well as hiking and climbing the inland Drakensberg mountains.<br /> <br /> She is a ‘people’s person’ and in addition to her culinary training, is also trained as a professional nurse, specializing in maternity. <br /> <br /> Belinda is a generous and passionate cook who has been influenced by travel and time spent in many different countries. She is particularly fond of Asian cuisine, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, but also enjoys spicy Mexican, Indian and Mediterranean influences.<br /> <br /> She loves to cook fish and seafood and pair it with local, fresh, seasonal ingredients. She enjoys bright and bold flavours, especially citrus notes which do well to compliment the Caribbean climate. Delicious cool and creamy desserts round off dinner and ensure full and satisfied guests!<br /> <br /> Waking up to fresh morning coffee and watching the sun set with drinks and appetizers are the absolute essence of life aboard and she can’t wait to welcome you!";s:14:"yachtCrewPhoto";s:82:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtimg/yacht8198/8198brochure44.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew1Pic";s:77:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtimg/yacht8198/8198crew1.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew2Pic";s:77:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtimg/yacht8198/8198crew2.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew3Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew4Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew5Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew6Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew7Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew8Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew9Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew10Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew1Name";s:14:"Robert Bentley";s:14:"yachtCrew2Name";s:15:"Belinda Bentley";s:14:"yachtCrew3Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew4Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew5Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew6Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew7Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew8Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew9Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew10Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew1Title";s:7:"Captain";s:15:"yachtCrew2Title";s:4:"Chef";s:15:"yachtCrew3Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew4Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew5Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew6Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew7Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew8Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew9Title";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtCrew10Title";s:0:"";s:9:"yachtFlag";s:3:"BVI";s:13:"yachtHomePort";s:15:"BVI, St Vincent";s:14:"yachtWBasePort";s:3:"BVI";s:8:"yachtRig";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGrossTons";s:0:"";s:12:"yachtAcNight";s:3:"Yes";s:16:"yachtAcSurCharge";s:2:"No";s:9:"yachtTubs";s:1:"0";s:20:"yachtLocationDetails";s:42:"Yacht is based out of Scrub Island, BVI.

We all felt very safe and secure the whole week knowing that we had such a capable and knowledgeable skipper in Rob!<br /> <br /> Belinda's food was INCREDIBLE. She is warm, friendly, loving, and was always asking if we needed anything. Bea was a funny, steady, caring presence on the boat, and I loved getting to talk with her. She was so kind to my children, and took their ages and preferences into account when planning our menu for the week. Her food is as beautiful as it is delicious!<br /> <br /> The Mystic is a beautiful yacht! It was so clean that we felt like we were first people to ever sail on it. She beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great in our rooms at night. The finishes on the yacht are beautiful and comfortable.";s:10:"yachtGC1P1";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC1P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC1P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC2Title";s:13:"February 2024";s:8:"yachtGC2";s:2183:"If I said that my trip with Rob and B and the Mystic was the number one best trip of my life, I wouldn't be lying! Private sailing, crystal blue waters, snorkeling with turtles, and stingrays, and wonderful conversation with my favorite people, what could make it better? I'll tell you what could make it better, "B!!!" Belinda took this vacation to another level. Each meal was part of the adventure. Exquisite in flavor, and designed to our tastes, she made exception after exception in making exceptional cuisine, and plated it like it was the art that it was. Rob was an amazing captain, who brought so much security and comfort to the group knowing that we were in such capable hands. If you are lucky enough to get them to lead your charter, get him to tell you his adventure stories of years of sailing around the world and his famous experience at Everest base camp. Well worth the investment to spend time with not only amazingly talented people in their own rights, but such wonderful people. I can't wait to do another adventure with them!<br /> <br /> We recently returned from a sailing trip with Rob and Belinda on the Mystic. This was our first sailing trip. It could not have been better. Belinda prepared amazing meals for us. We had a former chef in our group and even he was amazed and what Belinda came up with in a small boat kitchen. Rob was terrific. He was always happy to take us where we wanted to go. He had very interesting stories about his life on the sea and other places. It would be hard to imagine a better crew. The boat was also very well appointed. We hope to do another sailing trip in the future and would pretty much find where Rob and Belinda are going and then go with them.<br /> <br /> There are experiences, and there are experiences! We had the time of our lives with Rob and Belinda. I struggle to imagine anyone performing better than they did. Rob was the consummate professional, always supporting any activity we wanted to do. Belinda created meals and eating experiences that were amazing. I still struggle to understand how she pulled it off from a tiny galley. I would follow them to any vessel they serve on.<br /> <br /> ";s:10:"yachtGC2P1";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC2P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC2P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC3Title";s:13:"December 2023";s:8:"yachtGC3";s:376:"We had an incredible trip. The boat, islands, food, weather, etc.. were all fantastic but Rob and Belinda really made the trip. They are an awesome team and did a great job not only hosting but engaging our entire family. We left after 7 days not only with a great vacation experience but two new friends. <br /> <br /> We will definitely book again and look forward to it.

This couple/crew are hospitable, knowledgeable, charming, warm, and funny with a great sense of humour. They complement each other so well as 1st mate and sous chef! They provided tips on and gave historical and nice to know facts of the islands we visited. By the time our charter ended I felt we were one happy family.<br /> <br /> Captain Rob navigated the Mystic with skill and finesse, in and out of marinas and bays like he was eating a piece of his wife’s delicious cake. He ensured our safety on board and in the water. I personally have balance/mobility issues, and he made sure I could confidently access all areas of the Mystic. He and Belinda both used the hydraulic swim platform so I could safely enter and exit the water. He even snorkelled one on one with me so I wouldn’t miss out on that experience. <br /> <br /> Chef Belinda…I can’t say enough about her culinary skills. Her meals were delicious, flavourful and the presentation/plating were indescribably beautiful. Without missing a beat, she was able to adapt her widely varied menus to meet the dietary requirements of all guests. I can’t thank her enough for the lengths she went to decorate the salon and provide a delectable cake for a surprise birthday celebration for 2 guests on the last night of our charter. <br /> <br /> I can say without hesitation, were it not for the crew of Rob and Belinda Bentley on the Mystic 5.4, this sailing adventure would not have been the experience of a lifetime it was. <br /> <br /> Merci infiniment, muchas gracious, gracie mille……I can’t say thank you to Rob and Belinda too many times or in too many ways….you’re The Best!!!<br /> <br /> Valarie <br /> Mystic: 7/15-7/22/2023<br /> <br /> ";s:10:"yachtGC4P1";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC4P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC4P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC5Title";s:9:"July 2023";s:8:"yachtGC5";s:2379:"What a great adventure! To have such a wonderful and new experience with family made us feel very blessed, and it was topped off with such a fantastic crew of Captain Rob and Chef/First Mate Belinda Bentley on the Mystic 5.4 catamaran. Not only was the catamaran absolutely stunning and accommodating, but the Bentleys also ensured we enjoyed every minute of it!<br /> Captain Rob is an experienced professional, all the while being polite, personable, and dedicated to not only the boat but also the guests. He shared his extensive knowledge of manoeuvring the boat, the sail functions (when and how to use them), and the complex navigation system with the guests interested in the operation of the catamaran.<br /> <br /> Chef Belinda was meticulous in every meal’s preparation and presentation. Every meal was made with love and care while considering the guests’ specific dietary needs. Her incorporation of exotic, local flavours and spices elevated the meals even more! Not only did she prepare three meals a day, but she also provided a snack between meals. Never to disappoint the guests’ tastebuds! Her food is worthy of a James Beard Foundation Award! <br /> <br /> Together Rob and Belinda took excellent care of the guests and the luxurious catamaran. While traveling to various islands, Rob and Belinda briefly described the island’s intriguing history, where the best places to swim/snorkel are, and the attractions, restaurants, and shopping available. Both made sure the guests knew water safety and the use of the equipment provided to ensure the guests had the best experience in the beautiful Caribbean seas. Captain Rob even led a group snorkelling and showed the best place to view the magnificence of the creatures in the water. While guests were off the boat or lounged on one of the decks, Chef Belinda was guaranteed to be in the kitchen preparing the next meal, snack, and dessert.<br /> <br /> They work so well with each other and interact with the guests delightfully and sincerely. Captain Rob and Chef Belinda truly felt like family by the end of the adventure! No words can express how grateful we feel to have been with the Bentleys on our vacation. They have set the bar so high that we MUST have our future vacations with them on the Mystic 5.4! Sincere thanks to Captain Rob and Chef Belinda Bentley!<br /> ";s:10:"yachtGC5P1";s:84:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8198/8198guests23744-1.jpg";s:10:"yachtGC5P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC5P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC6Title";s:9:"June 2023";s:8:"yachtGC6";s:2175:"Belinda and Rob,<br /> <br /> Its pitch black, at 5am, as I begin to write this. I’ve been the lucky one tasked to figure out how to somehow thank you both by putting words on to paper. It is no small feat, and as always, I’m concerned that I will somehow fumble my words along the way… but honestly, it will be typical of me!<br /> <br /> Wow…Just…WOW. THANK YOU!<br /> <br /> We can’t even describe how simply magnificent this whole week has been for us six. Honestly, the entire trip has far surpassed anything we could have imagined!!<br /> <br /> We knew that the location would be spectacular when we planned the trip over a year ago, but to have lucked to have gotten you both as our guides through this life changing vacation was where we truly hit the jackpot!<br /> <br /> We chose this charter specifically because of you both (your bios and experience) and we could not have found anyone better fit to handle such a crazy group!<br /> <br /> Our entire trip felt perfectly created to our likings and preferences!<br /> <br /> It was as if you both have known our group all our lives and created the perfect itinerary and menu just for us. (Seriously B, the food was absolutely, freaking phenomenal!) So much love was poured into each meal you made for us.<br /> <br /> We were so impressed we received a 5-star meal from the confines of such as small space!<br /> <br /> Thank you for the laughter, the lessons in sailing and for sharing stories with us of your life adventures!<br /> <br /> Thank you for taking such great care of us the entire week, the time we have spent has been food for the souls!<br /> <br /> Best of luck as you move on to Mystic. We look forward to hearing and seeing all your adventures. If you ever want to remember our group and charter, head over to Foxy’s to see Dave’s face on Caprice’s swimsuit!!<br /> <br /> Hopefully, we will all be able to return to see it ourselves.

I will never forget the Tipsy Tart!!<br /> <br /> Rob – Thank you for being prepared with a plan, but also flexible. We loved the snorkelling, exploring the caves with the water toys and our island explorations! Most of all, thank you for navigating us safely through the swells between Anegada and Scrub Island!<br /> Above all, thank you for sharing yourselves with us.

We felt safe and secure at all times. He does everything 110% and is a really nice, personable guy. We created our own itinerary but it worked out well.

We didn’t miss a thing!!! Plenty of play toys for the adults and children.<br /> Snorkel gear was supplied for all, along with water boards and rafts and other toys.<br /> <br /> I know everyone who has a good captain thinks<br /> theirs is the best. I KNOW the captain on my boat<br /> is the number one captain for a charter. In his<br /> command we always felt safe and secure in his<br /> knowledge and handling of our sailboat. Always he<br /> greeted us with his warm smile and pleasant<br /> disposition. He never seemed rushed or bothered<br /> by all the needs of our family group of twenty. At<br /> the end of the charter we felt like we were leaving<br /> a dear friend. I cannot give him enough accolades!<br /> He was easy to talk to, always trying to serve his<br /> guests and accommodate them with any desire of<br /> their hearts. Rob and his wife/chef Belinda are<br /> such a pleasant couple. They truly compliment<br /> each other and work well together. We were<br /> beyond blessed to have them as our crew. They<br /> made our trip enjoyable and pleasing. Rob never<br /> got upset with our active, over the top family. He<br /> continued to smile throughout our exploits. He<br /> was helpful and quick to meet our needs. I could<br /> go on and on about telling what a great captain he<br /> is. You will not be disappointed if you are fortunate<br /> enough to have him captain your sailboat!!! A Plus<br /> Plus!!!<br /> <br /> Now Belinda is amazing! She will not disappoint<br /> pleasing you with her delicious cuisine. Every<br /> one meal was a delight. She is an exceptional chef and<br /> her recipes will make you want to arrive at the<br /> table on time. She caters to your every desire and<br /> wants to please you. She is most pleasant and has<br /> a warm personality. My only complaint is the four<br /> pounds she put on me during our week stay. You<br /> will love Belinda and she will leave you with<br /> wonderful memories of the scrumptious food she<br /> serves. A true delight in every way!!!<br /> <br /> The boat was very clean and well maintained.

Not only did he work tirelessly to keep the yacht in perfect shape but he was also a great guide during the trip. He catered our itinerary around the needs of our entire group.

reviews: <h2 id='reviews'>Reviews</h2> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> March 2024</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Rob was incredible - he led us on so many great excursions, showed us things we never would have seen on our own, and planned lots of fun adventured for our kids. He taught us a bit about sailing and shared so many great stories of his own sailing adventures. He was patient with our kids and just made the whole trip wonderful. We all felt very safe and secure the whole week knowing that we had such a capable and knowledgeable skipper in Rob!<br /> <br /> Belinda's food was INCREDIBLE. She is warm, friendly, loving, and was always asking if we needed anything. Bea was a funny, steady, caring presence on the boat, and I loved getting to talk with her. She was so kind to my children, and took their ages and preferences into account when planning our menu for the week. Her food is as beautiful as it is delicious!<br /> <br /> The Mystic is a beautiful yacht! It was so clean that we felt like we were first people to ever sail on it. She beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great in our rooms at night. The finishes on the yacht are beautiful and comfortable.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> February 2024</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>If I said that my trip with Rob and B and the Mystic was the number one best trip of my life, I wouldn't be lying! Private sailing, crystal blue waters, snorkeling with turtles, and stingrays, and wonderful conversation with my favorite people, what could make it better? I'll tell you what could make it better, "B!!!" Belinda took this vacation to another level. Each meal was part of the adventure. Exquisite in flavor, and designed to our tastes, she made exception after exception in making exceptional cuisine, and plated it like it was the art that it was. Rob was an amazing captain, who brought so much security and comfort to the group knowing that we were in such capable hands. If you are lucky enough to get them to lead your charter, get him to tell you his adventure stories of years of sailing around the world and his famous experience at Everest base camp. Well worth the investment to spend time with not only amazingly talented people in their own rights, but such wonderful people. I can't wait to do another adventure with them!<br /> <br /> We recently returned from a sailing trip with Rob and Belinda on the Mystic. This was our first sailing trip. It could not have been better. Belinda prepared amazing meals for us. We had a former chef in our group and even he was amazed and what Belinda came up with in a small boat kitchen. Rob was terrific. He was always happy to take us where we wanted to go. He had very interesting stories about his life on the sea and other places. It would be hard to imagine a better crew. The boat was also very well appointed. We hope to do another sailing trip in the future and would pretty much find where Rob and Belinda are going and then go with them.<br /> <br /> There are experiences, and there are experiences! We had the time of our lives with Rob and Belinda. I struggle to imagine anyone performing better than they did. Rob was the consummate professional, always supporting any activity we wanted to do. Belinda created meals and eating experiences that were amazing. I still struggle to understand how she pulled it off from a tiny galley. I would follow them to any vessel they serve on.<br /> <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> December 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We had an incredible trip. The boat, islands, food, weather, etc.. were all fantastic but Rob and Belinda really made the trip. They are an awesome team and did a great job not only hosting but engaging our entire family. We left after 7 days not only with a great vacation experience but two new friends. <br /> <br /> We will definitely book again and look forward to it. </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> July 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>You can charter other Bali 5.4 catamarans, but unless you charter the Mystic 5.4 crewed by the couple Captain Rob and Chef Belinda Bentley, you’ll be missing half the experience of your BVI sailing adventure! This couple/crew are hospitable, knowledgeable, charming, warm, and funny with a great sense of humour. They complement each other so well as 1st mate and sous chef! They provided tips on and gave historical and nice to know facts of the islands we visited. By the time our charter ended I felt we were one happy family.<br /> <br /> Captain Rob navigated the Mystic with skill and finesse, in and out of marinas and bays like he was eating a piece of his wife’s delicious cake. He ensured our safety on board and in the water. I personally have balance/mobility issues, and he made sure I could confidently access all areas of the Mystic. He and Belinda both used the hydraulic swim platform so I could safely enter and exit the water. He even snorkelled one on one with me so I wouldn’t miss out on that experience. <br /> <br /> Chef Belinda…I can’t say enough about her culinary skills. Her meals were delicious, flavourful and the presentation/plating were indescribably beautiful. Without missing a beat, she was able to adapt her widely varied menus to meet the dietary requirements of all guests. I can’t thank her enough for the lengths she went to decorate the salon and provide a delectable cake for a surprise birthday celebration for 2 guests on the last night of our charter. <br /> <br /> I can say without hesitation, were it not for the crew of Rob and Belinda Bentley on the Mystic 5.4, this sailing adventure would not have been the experience of a lifetime it was. <br /> <br /> Merci infiniment, muchas gracious, gracie mille……I can’t say thank you to Rob and Belinda too many times or in too many ways….you’re The Best!!!<br /> <br /> Valarie <br /> Mystic: 7/15-7/22/2023<br /> <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> July 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>What a great adventure! To have such a wonderful and new experience with family made us feel very blessed, and it was topped off with such a fantastic crew of Captain Rob and Chef/First Mate Belinda Bentley on the Mystic 5.4 catamaran. Not only was the catamaran absolutely stunning and accommodating, but the Bentleys also ensured we enjoyed every minute of it!<br /> Captain Rob is an experienced professional, all the while being polite, personable, and dedicated to not only the boat but also the guests. He shared his extensive knowledge of manoeuvring the boat, the sail functions (when and how to use them), and the complex navigation system with the guests interested in the operation of the catamaran.<br /> <br /> Chef Belinda was meticulous in every meal’s preparation and presentation. Every meal was made with love and care while considering the guests’ specific dietary needs. Her incorporation of exotic, local flavours and spices elevated the meals even more! Not only did she prepare three meals a day, but she also provided a snack between meals. Never to disappoint the guests’ tastebuds! Her food is worthy of a James Beard Foundation Award! <br /> <br /> Together Rob and Belinda took excellent care of the guests and the luxurious catamaran. While traveling to various islands, Rob and Belinda briefly described the island’s intriguing history, where the best places to swim/snorkel are, and the attractions, restaurants, and shopping available. Both made sure the guests knew water safety and the use of the equipment provided to ensure the guests had the best experience in the beautiful Caribbean seas. Captain Rob even led a group snorkelling and showed the best place to view the magnificence of the creatures in the water. While guests were off the boat or lounged on one of the decks, Chef Belinda was guaranteed to be in the kitchen preparing the next meal, snack, and dessert.<br /> <br /> They work so well with each other and interact with the guests delightfully and sincerely. Captain Rob and Chef Belinda truly felt like family by the end of the adventure! No words can express how grateful we feel to have been with the Bentleys on our vacation. They have set the bar so high that we MUST have our future vacations with them on the Mystic 5.4! Sincere thanks to Captain Rob and Chef Belinda Bentley!<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[8198]' title='' href='https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8198/8198guests23744-1.jpg?1703930365' class="review_img" data-lightbox="review_image"><span></span><img src='' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 1' class="lazyload img-responsive" data-src="https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht8198/8198guests23744-1.jpg?1703930365"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'></div></div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> June 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Belinda and Rob,<br /> <br /> Its pitch black, at 5am, as I begin to write this. I’ve been the lucky one tasked to figure out how to somehow thank you both by putting words on to paper. It is no small feat, and as always, I’m concerned that I will somehow fumble my words along the way… but honestly, it will be typical of me!<br /> <br /> Wow…Just…WOW. THANK YOU!<br /> <br /> We can’t even describe how simply magnificent this whole week has been for us six. Honestly, the entire trip has far surpassed anything we could have imagined!!<br /> <br /> We knew that the location would be spectacular when we planned the trip over a year ago, but to have lucked to have gotten you both as our guides through this life changing vacation was where we truly hit the jackpot!<br /> <br /> We chose this charter specifically because of you both (your bios and experience) and we could not have found anyone better fit to handle such a crazy group!<br /> <br /> Our entire trip felt perfectly created to our likings and preferences!<br /> <br /> It was as if you both have known our group all our lives and created the perfect itinerary and menu just for us. (Seriously B, the food was absolutely, freaking phenomenal!) So much love was poured into each meal you made for us.<br /> <br /> We were so impressed we received a 5-star meal from the confines of such as small space!<br /> <br /> Thank you for the laughter, the lessons in sailing and for sharing stories with us of your life adventures!<br /> <br /> Thank you for taking such great care of us the entire week, the time we have spent has been food for the souls!<br /> <br /> Best of luck as you move on to Mystic. We look forward to hearing and seeing all your adventures. If you ever want to remember our group and charter, head over to Foxy’s to see Dave’s face on Caprice’s swimsuit!!<br /> <br /> Hopefully, we will all be able to return to see it ourselves. In the meantime, we appreciate you checking in on it every now and then.<br /> <br /> With the greatest Love, Respect and Appreciation Always<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> May 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Belinda & Rob,<br /> <br /> We had the time of our lives! Best time ever for us as a couple. You and Rob made our stay a true life moment from beginning to end. Your wonderful personalities, extensive experience and knowledge of the seas and sailing were exactly what we were looking for. We would like the Mystic’s owners to know that they could not have placed their brand new boat and investment in more caring or capable hands! <br /> <br /> We look forward to seeing you again next year same time with our family, kids & spouses.<br /> <br /> Best regards,<br /> <br /> Linda& Rich </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> May 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Rob & B<br /> Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!!<br /> B – Your meals always exceeded our expectations!! Your chicken pasta, steak and scalloped potatoes, fish tacos, salsa, and salads were some of our favourites!<br /> Then you topped it off with desserts that were memorable to say the least. I will never forget the Tipsy Tart!!<br /> <br /> Rob – Thank you for being prepared with a plan, but also flexible. We loved the snorkelling, exploring the caves with the water toys and our island explorations! Most of all, thank you for navigating us safely through the swells between Anegada and Scrub Island!<br /> Above all, thank you for sharing yourselves with us. The conversations, sharing your near-death experience on Mt Everest and allowing Dave to be part of the crew made us feel like family.<br /> You are both so suited for this job.<br /> Until we meet again.<br /> Dave & Suzanne <br /> </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> April 2023</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We had the time of our lives! <br /> Best time ever for us as a couple. <br /> You and Rob made our stay a true-life moment from beginning to end.

The food – Belinda is a phenomenal chef, we all gained weight eating her wonderful meals. Belinda was the best chef in the entire tandem flotilla and was really amazing. The attention to detail she puts into everything she serves is incredible. We had three great meals and a nice snack every day. Rob is a very capable professional boat captain and sailor. We felt safe and secure at all times. He does everything 110% and is a really nice, personable guy. We created our own itinerary but it worked out well. We had two windy days that made for more difficult sailing but otherwise it was fine. Rob and Belinda rock!!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> New Years Flotilla</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Not one of our 20 members were disappointed with their trip.<br /> It was our best trip to date, and we’ve been on a lot of other ones.<br /> The itinerary was perfect and they catered to our every desire.<br /> If we wanted to change plans mid trip they did their best to accommodate<br /> us in every detail. We didn’t miss a thing!!! Plenty of play toys for the adults and children.<br /> Snorkel gear was supplied for all, along with water boards and rafts and other toys.<br /> <br /> I know everyone who has a good captain thinks<br /> theirs is the best. I KNOW the captain on my boat<br /> is the number one captain for a charter. In his<br /> command we always felt safe and secure in his<br /> knowledge and handling of our sailboat. Always he<br /> greeted us with his warm smile and pleasant<br /> disposition. He never seemed rushed or bothered<br /> by all the needs of our family group of twenty. At<br /> the end of the charter we felt like we were leaving<br /> a dear friend. I cannot give him enough accolades!<br /> He was easy to talk to, always trying to serve his<br /> guests and accommodate them with any desire of<br /> their hearts. Rob and his wife/chef Belinda are<br /> such a pleasant couple. They truly compliment<br /> each other and work well together. We were<br /> beyond blessed to have them as our crew. They<br /> made our trip enjoyable and pleasing. Rob never<br /> got upset with our active, over the top family. He<br /> continued to smile throughout our exploits. He<br /> was helpful and quick to meet our needs. I could<br /> go on and on about telling what a great captain he<br /> is. You will not be disappointed if you are fortunate<br /> enough to have him captain your sailboat!!! A Plus<br /> Plus!!!<br /> <br /> Now Belinda is amazing! She will not disappoint<br /> pleasing you with her delicious cuisine. Every<br /> one meal was a delight. She is an exceptional chef and<br /> her recipes will make you want to arrive at the<br /> table on time. She caters to your every desire and<br /> wants to please you. She is most pleasant and has<br /> a warm personality. My only complaint is the four<br /> pounds she put on me during our week stay. You<br /> will love Belinda and she will leave you with<br /> wonderful memories of the scrumptious food she<br /> serves. A true delight in every way!!!<br /> <br /> The boat was very clean and well maintained. It<br /> was very comfortable and spacious with lots of<br /> places to get away!<br /> <br /> What more can I say!!! Food was first rate and<br /> drinks were readily available. We even got to enjoy<br /> a few new concoctions!!!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> July 2022 - Broker provided review</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Rating of Yacht & Crew:<br /> (5 Being the Highest) 5<br /> <br /> Was the yacht comfortable and clean?<br /> The yacht was absolutely spotless and beautiful. We were left wanting for nothing more. Everything we needed for the perfect vacation was available and in great working condition.<br /> <br /> Was the yacht well ventilated?<br /> Yes, we had no issues (as I have in the past!) with air conditioning or wind flow.<br /> <br /> Was the crew friendly and accommodating?<br /> The crew was spectacular. They provided the highest level of service possible. Everything, from the amazing food to the fantastic guidance on where to go and what to do, was perfect. I truly can't imagine a better crew to work with.<br /> We left our trip feeling as if we've made life long friends.<br /> <br /> Was the food good and well presented?<br /> The food was fantastic. It was delicious and the variety was great. Belinda really worked to understand our likes and dislikes and adjusted every meal to fit our needs perfectly. Since arriving home we've been craving Belinda's food!!<br /> <br /> Additional comments about the yacht and crew?<br /> Rob was a fantastic captain. Not only did he work tirelessly to keep the yacht in perfect shape but he was also a great guide during the trip. He catered our itinerary around the needs of our entire group. Whether that was extreme amounts of snorkeling for some or extreme relaxation and bar hopping for others. We all got what we wanted out of our week long vacation of a lifetime!<br /> <br /> Cruising Area<br /> Did you like the area you chartered in?<br /> The BVI's were incredible! I can't imagine a more beautiful location. However, I would recommend traveling directly into Tortola as opposed to St Thomas and ferrying to Tortola which adds layers of complexity and cost that weren't very fun.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Broker provided review</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>The crew were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely fabulous and far exceeded our expectations. Rob and Belinda went out of their way to make our charter one of the best vacations we have ever had.

I don’t think we can ever top the fun times and adventures we had with you. Thank you so much for giving all of us the trip of a lifetime.

What a fabulous array of delicious meals the “master chef” prepared. And the Captain was always spot on with a water toy or adventure. Indeed we were blessed to be on the Belle Vie with the two of you, who made our trip so memorable.<br /> Thank you again so much. I hope 2022 finds you happily at sea enjoying your “empty nest” stage of life. Hope you get to see those Australian children of yours, too!

My desire to sail has gotten a million times stronger thanks to the both of you.<br /> <br /> On top of that, you made sure we still had a vacation of a lifetime! The food was absolutely amazing (even with all of our crazy dietary restrictions) and you two were always so willing to make sure we were at all the spots we wanted to be at.<br /> <br /> All this while sharing bits of your South African culture with us. After a day or two I just felt like I was hanging out with two old friends.<br /> <br /> Please keep us in mind once you visit the states. We would love to buy to two a drink and see how the charter life is treating you.<br /> <br /> We wish you all the best.
