How do I love Whiskey Business? Let me count the ways!

1. Wade and Tippee truly make you feel like a guest in their home and treat you like family. They are the epitome of southern grace and hospitality!

2. Decision fatigue is a thing! Life and work has countless decisions to make everyday. When living on Whiskey Business you can trust Wade and Tippee to curate an incredible adventure and just sit back and enjoy the ride!

3. The comfort of the yacht is pure perfection and no detail has gone untouched. From the four inch thick mattress pads that make you feel like you’re sleeping on air to the high end toiletries Tippee stocks in every bathroom.

4. The food. Oh, the food. You would think an entire crew is in the kitchen preparing each meal! Right when you think one meal can’t get better than the last, they do.

5. Wade and Tippee know the islands, the region’s history, and it’s like being on board with your own personal tour guides! Pro tip: if you love to hike they can take you to the best spots.

6. There’s never a shortage of toys! From subwings to paddle boards to snorkeling…they have stocked the boat with everything you need to enjoy the outdoor recreation of the region.

We’ve spent two full week charters with Whiskey Business and are already planning our next trip!

What a vacation! We had a blast on Whiskey Business! Tippee cooking gourmet meals for us and Wade taking us for unforgettable experiences! We toured St Thomas and St John before they took us to the British Virgin Islands! We went to the Baths and swam, snorkeled at the Indians. We saw several turtles, Bud and I both saw and swam with spotted eagle rays! The coral is amazing, so live and full of fish. We celebrated Chad Allinder, flying an Auburn and thing blue line flags. The food prepared for us was top notch. I still haven't figured out how Tippee can create such wonderful things in that tiny kitchen. We had lunch at a floating taco bar. Wade is a mixologist when it comes to cocktails. And as if that was not enough, they hired a 2 piece band to play off the back of the catamaran. We sailed part of the time which was very cool. And they have the sweetest dog named Bo who has his own instagram page! Look them up if you ever want to have a fantastic vacation. Personal service for sure and we made new friends we call family!

What an amazing experience in the Virgin Islands🌴Captain Wade and Tippee were so knowledgeable about the islands, great hosts and tons of fun. Chef Tippee has an amazing menu and every meal was fabulous😍 The accommodations were great! The boat is much prettier in person. Bathrooms more spacious than expected and the beds are SO comfy!! Can’t wait to sail again with Whiskey Business!

Our expectations were completely exceeded on this wonderful vacation. Every day was beautiful from sun up to sun down. Whiskey Business was even more beautiful in person and extremely comfortable for us. Captain Wade and Tippee were extraordinary hosts in every way and Bo was the charming sidekick. From Tippee’s delicious meal after meal, to Capt Wade’s perfect tropical cocktail. The i ing on top of the cake was the day they surprised me with a birthday party, including a local band to play on the boat. They invited other boats from the area to join the fun, ensuring it will be a day we remember forever. It was perfect. They both made sure we explored areas we hadn’t seen before and taught us a lot about the local environment. Bo even enjoyed being our guide on several hikes. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventurous fun.
It is a pleasure to now call Wade, Tippee and Bo friends and we hope to join them again on a future sailing!

We had an incredible week with Wade, Tippee, and Bo on Whiskey Business in March of 2023!

We cannot say enough about the boat and crew. The professionalism and care taken began with us on the introductory Zoom call a few months before when Wade and Tippee asked us about our likes and dislikes with regards to food and drink, coupled with our desired activities while we were on the boat. They were very responsive every time we had a question, from the Zoom call up until a day before our trip!

They explained our arrival in depth and as soon as we landed at the airport, with our taxi driver calling us to be sure we knew he was ready for us. The taxi ride was seamless and before we knew it, we were at the dock hopping on Whiskey Business. We cruised over to Christmas Bay and had a wonderful time meeting Wade, Tippee, and Bo in person and enjoyed a delicious first meal.

While I could go into in-depth detail about each day, it would require a novel! In essence, everything was outstanding. Wade and Tippee are skilled navigators and always seemed to find the calm waters. Tippee deserves her own 5 Star Michelin restaurant for the meals that she whipped up for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Capt. Wade always made sure our drinks were full and the coolers were stocked (the killa, is killer - you have been warned). As a note, be sure to try both Capt. Wade's bloody mary and his old fashioned.

The two made sure we got to see a new bay every day and were happy to supply paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, and anything we needed to enjoy some fun in the sun. They had great tips on snorkeling and hikes and showed us some beautiful parts of the island.

We had a birthday on board and Wade and Tippee organized Moss Henry (a local musician) to come and play a 2 hour concert on the back of the boat and it was so much fun! People from all over the bay came by and it was truly a one of a kind party. Additionally, one of our group members really wanted to fish and they made sure we checked that off the list too!

While Wade and Tippee were incredible, the boat was wonderful too! It was clean, incredibly well-organized, and had ample outside space - whether you wanted to be in the sun or in the shade. It is very well kept and had plenty of room for our party of six. Additionally, the boat is incredibly well stocked with koozies, microfiber beach towels, paddle boards, snorkel gear, and varying levels of SPF sunscreens.

All-in-all, it was an incredible week. Tippee's culinary talents are second to none and every meal was both unique and outstanding. Wade's cocktails were delicious and he made sure that you were always topped off and that your beer was always cold. The two worked tirelessly to ensure that we were having a good time, were well taken care of, and got to enjoy the experiences we wanted to. Early on in the trip, the feeling that Wade and Tippee were just working on a boat we were on switched quickly to a feeling that we were enjoying our trip with lifelong friends. It hurt to get off the boat on Sunday for a variety of reasons, but Wade, Tippee, and Bo accounted for many of those reasons.

Bo deserves his own paragraph. He is the coolest dog, has the prettiest blue eyes, and was always excited to see us each morning. He also enjoyed tagging along on a few of our adventures. On the last day he seemed to linger on top of our clothes (to prevent us from packing) and we were so sad to tell him goodbye on Sunday.

Not only was this an outstanding trip, but we left feeling like we had made two lifelong friends in Wade and Tippee, and a new four-legged friend in Bo. We highly recommend chartering with Whiskey Business and can't thank them enough for their hard work and hospitality. We hope to see y'all again soon!

We took our family on a week long trip on Whiskey Business and I cannot say enough great things about it. Wade, Tippee and Bo made it the best vacation ever. Tippee's food was delicious, Wade's Pain Killers were plentiful and Bo was always a willing partner for a hike. From lobster hunting, sea turtles, eels, nurse sharks, starfish and hikes, there was always something to do. So many memories were made on this trip and we can't wait to do it again!

If you’re looking for a once in a lifetime vacation… this is it!! Tippee and Wade are the best pair you can ask for! And Bo makes you feel right at home these two gave us the best experience we could have asked for! From incredible meals, beautiful destinations, and memories we will never forget. This is a must do. Wade is so attentive and an amazing Captain. He had us laughing the entire trip! Tippee will have you never wanting to leave the boat in fear you might miss one of her delicious treats! Be ready to leave with happy hearts and snug pants highly recommend this trip for families, friends, couples, and for all ages!!

Thank you Tippee & Wade for an incredible week! We knew we were in for something special. I’d been stalking your fb page for months! We had a dream week full of fun & surprises! We took our girls, ages 10 & 8, & they had the best time! They loved Tippee’s crepes & pancakes & Bo!! The food was fabulous! The drinks plentiful & refreshing! They took us to the most beautiful moorings & sights! Our guard dog, Bo, led us and kept us on the beaten path for all of our hikes! The rooms are super clean, beautifully decorated & cozy for a restful night of sleep! Each morning we enjoyed coffee at the helm & spent our days snorkeling, hiking & relaxing! Do not hesitate to book with Whiskey Business! We hope to return sooner than later! Cannot imagine a better couple, charter or way to enjoy the USVI!

Food and hospitality were wonderful. Tippee and Wade were able to show us all the great parts of St John while having a home base of a boat! An awesome experience that we would recommend! We completed all the activities that we asked for.

On our last day of a weeklong charter on Whiskey Business, I asked our 11-year-old son what was his favorite part of this vacation. He didn't even have to think about his answer. EVERYTHING. That was his answer. EVERYTHING. I realized then it was my answer, too. There was no way I could pinpoint the best part of the week living aboard one of the most beautiful boats in one of the most beautiful places with two of the most beautiful people, Captain Wade and Chef Tippee. We felt safe and comfortable in the capable hands of Captain Wade, who navigated the waters of the USVI as if he'd been doing it since birth. We were treated each and every meal with home-cooked love - every meal felt like a special Sunday supper. The boat itself felt like home in its comfort and in how welcoming Wade and Tippee made us feel. I could truly go on and on and on. I'll just leave this strong recommendation with this. My husband and I have traveled quite a bit and we both said, bar none, a week on Whiskey Business was the best vacation of our lives. Little moments made for big memories and we'll be back to make some more. xxoo

This was a big bucket list trip for us an it was exceptional. Tippee and Wade and Bo are great hosts and the experience could not have been better. The food was gourmet, and they accommodated our tastes. The boat toys 6' paddle board, other paddle boards, big floatie, tent and chairs for the beach...we had everything we needed. Great experience with a floating taco bar and a boat concert!

We were so HONORED to have Whiskey Business host our wedding! Captain Wade and Tippee Ball are a complete 5 Star Service . We highly recommend them and their vessel for your next USVI excursion. We chartered for a week with friends and had a trip of a lifetime! And the accommodations and food are DIVINE!!

What an absolutely incredible journey it has been this past week. Tippee and Wade and their dog Bo were the best hosts on their catamaran…Whiskey Business! We’ve made new, life-long friends and look forward to getting together again with them in the near future! This mighty Duo invited us aboard with open arms. Wade is the super captain of his boat and Tippee was a five star chef, turning out three incredible meals for eight people in that kitchen daily. Unbelievable! They will exceed your expectations in every way possible. We highly recommend chartering with them. We look forward to our next journeys with Tippee and Wade aboard Whiskey Business!

Where to begin… what started off as a wedding week on the WhiskeyBusiness ended with life long friendships! Wade & Tippee are truly the most genuine people you will ever meet. Their soul purpose is to see you have an incredible experience on the Whiskey Business, as they invite you into their home, they are serving you memories I’m sure you have never experienced before. Wade is an incredible Captain, I felt completely safe at all times with his expertise and capabilities. Tippee is there to make sure you have the best food possible and is quite the chef indeed and all the food she prepares in just a little galley kitchen. Trust me, you will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! We laughed, we cried, we bonded over drinks and well prepared gourmet food. The stories that were told had great belly laughs and you knew you would be sad to see it all come to an end. Wade & Tippee know the very best places to take you. You can hike, relax, water board, what ever you can dream, you can do on this catamaran. The accommodations were top notch. Each have their own bathroom as well. The beds were comfortable also. No TV folks, but don’t worry, you will forget about that . There’s no need when you’re in paradise. The best advise is this… DON'T OVER THINK THIS TRIP, just book it before it’s too late. Wether it’s for your family or close friends, you will have the trip you’ve always dreamed. Thank you, Wade & Tippee, I miss y’all’s sweet faces already!! till next time… oh wait, how can I forget BO, that’s the cutest blue eyed pup with you will EVER meet. Must like fur babies bc Bo is the first mate on this sail. Id say he was partial to me, but that be a lie, bc apparently he LOVES everyone

What an amazing experience on Whiskey Business between Christmas and New Years!  You could not ask for better hosts with Wade, Tippee, and Bo.  It truly was a vacation of a lifetime for our family.  It was the perfect mix of relaxation and activity for our family of 5 including kids 10, 13 and 15.  What better way to celebrate a kid’s birthday and New Years Eve. Wade and Tippee accommodated all of our requests and I couldn’t be happier with the experience, minus the few pounds gained on the trip, from all the fantastic meals.  We look forward to our next trip on Whiskey Business.

A week on Whiskey Business with Tippee Wade was our first chartered sailing experience, and thanks to such an incredible experience, it wont be our last! PERFECT family vacation. A great balance between relaxation, family time and various activities - hiking, island exploration, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc. Wade and Tippee's hospitality and easy going nature made us feel relaxed and welcome, and they did everything possible to customize the trip to exceed our expectations - which they did! Can't even begin to say enough about the food and cocktails. It was an amazing week!

Our sailing trip on the Whiskey Business was perfect! We had 4 nights and five days of delicious and beautifully prepared food, we went to many different gorgeous coves where they had all the fun toys, boards, snorkel gear and anything we wanted to play in the ocean and they also took us to shore for trail hikes with gorgeous views! It was everything we dreamed of and our grown children were amazed! Our captains Tippee and Wade Ball were so kind, fun and informative so we could also learn all about the islands and their history! This was our second trip and can’t wait to book again!!

Our family chartered the Whiskey Business with Wade, Tippee, and Below deck Bo!!! We had the most incredible week. Wade and Tippee know all of the best beaches, restaurants, and activities to recommend! The boat is beautiful and they have super fun ocean toys! Tippee’s cooking was so amazing and Wade is a great bartender! We all left saying this was our favorite vacation we’ve taken! Thank you Whiskey Business!!!!!

Tippee and Wade Ball are the best ever!! Book your trip now because they are in high demand…we’ve sailed for many years and will say without a doubt this charter ranked as high as any…they’re so accommodating and fun!

Our week on Whiskey Business with Tippee and Wade was absolutely a dream come true. All of the food photos from the last week were our meals and each one was more delicious than the next. From the moment we boarded, our journey was incredible. From swimming in the crystal turquoise water and hiking to see breathtaking ruins to just being immersed in the quiet and serenity of our surroundings, this was an unforgettable experience. Even though we had just met Wade and Tippee, it felt like hanging out with old friends. And, did I mention the food? This was a wonderful way to celebrate Thanksgiving because we were constantly reminded of so many things that we are thankful for, including choosing Whiskey Business for our dream vacation.

My husband and I and our 4 kids just finished 3 days on Whiskey Business and we CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS! The boat is beautiful and comfortable and Tippee is possibly the best cook I’ve ever had make me a meal… and if that’s not enough Wade and Tippee are 2 of the absolute nicest people you will ever meet. My 9 year old son followed Wade around like he’d met a rockstar, asking him a million questions and Wade was SO kind. If you’ve been looking to book a charter, look no father. It doesn’t get better than Whiskey Business. We can’t wait to book it again.

Wow...just wow!! So much fun and so many sweet memories made. Thank you Michael Snider for such an awesome trip!! Thank you to our awesome hosts Tippee and Wade Ball, you guys made us feel right at home and we can't thank you enough for the incredible food, sightseeing and endless smiles!

We had an amazing charter with Tippee, Capt Wade and of course sweet Beau! We sailed around all of St. John stopping from Maho Bay to Christmas Cove. Limeout floating taco bar in Coral Bay was a hit! Each destination was breathtaking. We have traveled a lot of places and never experienced such an amazing trip. The food, drinks, and island views were amazing! Book Whiskey Business! You won’t regret it!
