“A Seafaring Paradise with RumAway and Captain Travis & Chef Tara
Our voyage aboard the catamaran Rumaway in the British Virgin Islands was nothing short of extraordinary! Captains Travis and Tara created an unparalleled experience that blended adventure, luxury, and culinary delights into a seamless nautical dream.
Our days were filled with thrilling snorkeling escapades, each one more enchanting than the last. From graceful turtles gliding through crystal-clear waters to the mesmerizing spectacle of spotted eagle rays, barracudas, and reef sharks, every underwater encounter left us in awe of the BVI's marine wonders. The snorkeling sessions were like stepping into a vibrant aquarium, with Captain Travis and Tara serving as knowledgeable guides to the underwater wonders.
The evenings were a gastronomic delight, where we were treated to five-star dinners that surpassed our culinary expectations. The culinary expertise on RumAway is truly remarkable, and every meal was a masterpiece, reflecting the freshest and finest ingredients the Caribbean has to offer. From savory seafood delicacies to decadent desserts, our taste buds embarked on a journey of their own.
Adding to the culinary indulgence were the exquisite cocktails crafted by the talented crew. Each drink was a work of art, perfectly complementing the breathtaking sunsets and starlit nights. Captain Travis's famous Painkillers became an instant favorite, a signature blend that captured the essence of relaxation and tropical bliss.
Beyond the stunning scenery and delectable dining, what truly set this experience apart was the warmth and hospitality of Captains Travis and Tara. Their passion for sailing and sharing the beauty of the BVI was evident in every moment of our journey. They not only ensured our safety and comfort but also regaled us with stories, local insights, and infectious enthusiasm for the sea.
In the end, our time aboard RumAway was not just a vacation; it was a voyage into a world of unparalleled beauty, adventure, and luxury. If you're seeking an unforgettable escape where every detail is meticulously curated, RumAway with Captains Travis and Tara is the catamaran for you. The 53 ft Royal Cape Majestic proved to be the ultimate catamaran experience for us — unquestionably the finest we've ever had the pleasure of sailing on. Opting for a charter with an owner-operated yacht unquestionably stands out as the ideal choice. Our hearts are full of gratitude for the memories created on this exceptional journey, and we eagerly anticipate the day we can set sail with them again.
Smooth seas, delightful breezes, and endless gratitude to Rumaway and its exceptional crew!”

“To the best captain/chef/catamaran there is out there! We had no idea what to expect, but you surpassed anything we could have ever dreamed of. You have become family and we are forever grateful for your amazing hospitality and delicious food (and beverages). Your home was the best place we could have ever made it onto. We are so lucky the stars aligned and we got to be your guests. The rum cake was the most delicious dessert ever!!! Tara, you are such a special person. Your kindness and fun-loving personality can’t be beat. Travis, your constant positivity, knowledge of the islands, and hospitality is unmatched. We love you both so much! We will be back! #THISIS40”

“Having traveled Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, Hawaii, and many many locations throughout the US for trips of all types, I can honestly say that the last week on Rumaway may have been the best vacation we have ever had. We did spend considerable time finding fun traveling partners (ended up being 3 couples in our group) and I know that had some part in making this trip fantastic. ( So put some time in on the front end!) From the minute we arrived it was obvious that Travis and Tara care deeply about the experiences that their guests have on charter and this remained evident up till the moment we de-boarded. From the planning of the itinerary, the menu, linens on the beds, highly curated bar, and the free sharing of local knowledge, Travis and Tara were consummate professionals. It was very daunting selecting a charter, but we could not be more pleased with our choice. Rumaway is a beautiful boat, extremely comfortable, with a very experienced crew that I cannot recommend more enthusiastically. Tara is a fantastic chef, and she worked with a food allergy I have like no one else has ever been able to do in my life. ( I had eggless French Toast!!!...I have never had French Toast before!) I type this as I wait on a connecting flight home. Salt in my hair, soaking in our lifelong memories, and working on plans to be made for our next adventure. Book a trip and you will not be disappointed.”

“My husband and I booked our honeymoon with Travis and Tara, and they made it the most unforgettable trip! They did not miss a beat. Travis and Tara are incredibly thoughtful and put so much effort into making our honeymoon unforgettable. They made us the perfect itinerary for the week and even planned a dinner on a private island with a bonfire for the two of us. We are counting down the days until we can come back, and would recommend this trip to anyone. We wanted to try something different and they did not disappoint! Plus, all the food is delicious!!!”
