About SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Operating in the Caribbean

Among the many intriguing features of the Leopard 58, the expansive flybridge with seating for up to 10 people and a large coffe table is one of the most exciting. It is perfect for lounging and taking in beautiful panoramic views and watching movies on the 82' outdoor theater screen.

The large open aft deck and forward cockpit offer another choice with ample space for alfresco dining and lounging.  The flybridge, the aft deck and forward cockpit are all covered in TekDek, a lightweight, high impact simulated teak. 

SOMETHING WONDERFUL accommodates 8 guests in 4 cabins.

The Master Suite is situated on the main deck, with a queen bed surrounded by large windows allowing you to take in the views. The Master Cabin can be closed off from the Main Salon with sliding doors, creating a Master Suite, with your own private office space. To complete the suite, there are forward-leading doors from both the office and the Master Cabin to allow access to the Master cockpit, where you can enjoy a quiet drink in the sun with hors d’oeuvres on your lounge chair.

Three guest cabins have queen-sized beds, en suite bathrooms and plenty of closet space.  As an option, a Twin berth guest suite may be substituted for one of the queen cabins.

Each of the lower deck cabins has full-view windows and an overhead hatch, both in the cabin and in the bathroom, with a blackout shutter and screen. Each cabin is equipped with its own air conditioning unit, a separate fan and a TV set with an individual Apple TV unit.

During the late Autumn, Winter and Spring, Something Wonderful based from West End, Tortola. In Mid June she heads south, via Sint Maarten/St. Barths, and later in July and August, Something Wonderful is based from Grenada for Grenadines charters.

Crew Profile

Luxury charter yacht crew for SOMETHING WONDERFUL
Captain: Michael Forbes (54)

We have been blessed to share the last 12 years of our lives working together as a team on the open water. Our way of life has led us through many adventures in some amazing parts of the world! All of this has bought about a very good balance of responsible tourism whilst having a great time enjoying the splendor of nature.

We are very professional in our work but at the same time create a homely feeling wherever we sail. You’ll arrive as our guests and leave as our friends. We can’t wait to start making long lasting memories together!

Welcome Aboard.

Your Captain

Ahoy! My name is Michael, better known as Mike. I am a qualified yachtmaster and rescue diver with 3 decades of experience working on the ocean. Navigating several long ocean passages has allowed me to travel and experience many beautiful areas across the globe. I chose the ocean as my home because I get to experience nature at its fullest. This lifestyle brings me great peace and joy. When I’m not sailing, I am passionate about surfing, SUPing, paragliding, fishing and photography. I love being a part of the underwater world and sharing my life onboard with like minded folks. I’m looking forward to meeting you all soon and sharing this voyage together.

Chef & Mate: Marie (57)

Your Chef

Hi, my name is Marie and I am currently 1st mate/chef on a 58-foot catamaran.

I am originally from the United Kingdom. My background is in hospitality, which has led me over the years to various countries to live and to work. I have been fortunate enough to have spent over a decade in the Indian ocean working as a chef/hostess.

I love travel and cuisine, so being able to combine the two together as part of my job has been an absolute dream. I look forward to sharing these passions along with my love of surfing, yoga, and the ocean with you all very soon.

Testimonials

Guests aboard SOMETHING WONDERFUL for a birthday charter in April, 2023, wrote:

My 70th birthday was expected to be terrific as we headed to BVI to board 58’ Something Wonderful with three other couples. All are family and lifetime friends so the setting and company guaranteed a memorable trip.


All our many expectations were exceeded in the most stunning ways largely the result of our fantastic crew Morne and Kayla. These amazing young people thrilled us with their sailing experience, island knowledge and 5 STAR service all while sharing 7 uniquely different overnight moorings during our circumnavigation of Tortola.


Fantastic nights sleeping aboard some cool enough for fresh air blowing through the cabin portals or when hot an A/C system that works!! Awakening to pressed coffee and a gourmet breakfast is Something Wonderful everyday. 


Mornings conclude with a sail to another exotic snorkeling or sightseeing destination. Another 5 STAR lunch by Kayla magically prepared aboard. We were truly spoiled.


Something Wonderful is in the minority in a sea full of catamarans in that the entire upper floor is covered by a hard top with zippered enclosures we left open all week. As Morne sailed us from the upper helm to our next destination it was our place of relaxation and music. Enormous seating with sunbathing deck and a bar kept us upstairs and outdoors all week, morning to evening. The views of the endlessly clear and vibrant blue/green waters captivated all 4 couples.


Our fantastic days concluded with another stunning dinner prepared by Kayla often with Morne’s help as they obviously enjoyed taking us to culinary heights we never expected. Wine and drinks abounded and singing and dancing made this birthday celebration my best ever and maybe the best ever for all our family and friends.


We will return … all of us …. for all the right reasons. Do not miss the opportunity to join Morne and Kayla aboard Something Wonderful.


Thank you for the trip of a lifetime from all of us!!!

Guests  who had rescheduled from back during corona times wrote in 2022:

The absolute best part of this trip was not the crystal clear water, or beautiful sunsets, or the scenic views from all directions or spacious boat and rooms and terrific food. 

By far the most wonderful part of our trip was the crew. It was more like we were on a family members boat than a crewed boat. The service was top notch. The food that came from the hand of Kayla was something you would expect at a 5 star restaurant.

There was not one occasion we felt unsafe with our captain at the helm. Safety was a top priority and he is obviously a professional captain with many hours, years, under his belt. We arrived as strangers but left with three more members of our family. 

The first mate was everywhere when we needed him and predicted our needs before we knew we needed them. Water toys were awesome and way more than expected. 

The crews knowledge of the area was very helpful and interesting. The boat was way above expectations. So much room for all 8 of our group and the 3 crew members.

Guests that were aboard SOMETHING WONDERFUL in 2022 finally sent through their review... a year later!

Our time with Kayla and Morne on Something Wonderful was nothing short of perfection! We had a fabulous, relaxing vacation and would repeat it again any time. The food prepared by Kayla was definitely ahighlight of the trip. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always perfectly prepared and presented, and was some of the best food we've evereaten. Morne was a fantastic captain, answering our endless questions about where, when, how, etc. in regards to the boat and the geography.  He also made the best afternoon cocktails for us each day. If you are thinking about booking with these fine people, do it now. You won't regret it!

"We just returned from a 7 day charter in the BVI. We were a group of 8 couples and it was a first experience for all of us, so we really did not know what to except. We choose the Catamaran "Something Wonderful" ... as we boarded we discovered the first problem! The name of this beauty should have been "Something Extraordinarily Wonderful!" Then we met the Crew... Captain Paul, Chef Isabella and Third Mate Daniel. We were welcomed with such grace and refinement by each of them. They instantly made us feel at home. Each one were truly professional and passionate about their careers, but more so they became a part of the family and we learned a great deal from their expertise's. Captain Paul Johnson was a true Captain. We knew how seriously he took his responsibility and we always felt safe and in good hands. Paul plotted a journey that all 8 of us embraced as our best vacation ever. Paul would educate us about this beautiful BVI and each port was unique and special. Isabella wowed us everyday with new, fresh and exquisite cuisine. She too provided us a culinary experience we will never forget.. all the while handling this task with ease and such character. We did wonder before we boarded why we would even need a 3 crew member .. then we met Daniel. Daniel was equally as pertinent and provided the guest with impeccable service. All three crew members worked tirelessly - each sharing in the daily workings of the boat - and we could not help notice the level of discretion. Also it was an honor to see the level of respect they have for their Captain and rightly so. Paul was able to command his crew with great finesse. All three member truly made our experience one we shall always cherish and hope to do again. All of that coupled with what we all thought was to be the most fabulous catamaran. The color scheme was gorgeous, perfectly design in function , amble space and of course we felt the fly bridge was perfect! Every inch of that boat was spectacular! We have all decided after this glorious trip... that when choosing the next charter ... we felt it truly came down to The Crew! We would not want to set sail without this crew! We were blessed to have had both : A Something Wonderful Crew AND Boat! Thank you!"

And...

Dear Sirs/ Madam,We just returned from a 7 days yachting trip to BVI. There were 8 couples and it was a first experience for all of us. The only problem we noticed as we boarded "Something Wonderful" was her name should be Something Extraordinarily Wonderful! We were greeted by Captain Paul Johnson, Chef Isabella and Deck Mate Daniel. It did not take long to realize that we had struck gold! Paul charted a journey that brought a new and exciting adventure everyday. He always educated us on our surroundings and we all felt like we truly learned something. We knew we were always in capable hands and felt safe... there was never a worry! Paul treated his crew with great respect and professionalism and all 3 work tirelessly with such finesse. Isabella was an exceptional chef. Everyday was full of a new and delicious culinary delight! She too educated us and we left eager to try her creations at home! Her soft spoken and refined manner was a pleasure to be around. She has a smile that could melt your heart. We truly appreciated the level of service that was provided to us. Daniel was their Deck Hand and he was nothing short of fabulous. He took such great care of all of us and did it with great skill. We were struck by our Crew's impeccable manners, level service they so graciously provided to us and how easy they were to get along with. The crew became part of our family and added to our complete experience. The boat was a beauty! We loved the color scheme and the detail in the design. It functioned so well and we could not have been more comfortable. Her equipment was state of the art. We were impressed to say the least. We thought Something Wonderful was the perfect boat! We left in agreement that this was by far our favorite trip we have ever taken and we felt blessed beyond words! As much as we loved the boat and hope to have the pleasure of sailing it again... it came down to our crew!! The 3 of them, all with their unique personalities that blended perfect together are what made our trip Something Extraordinarily Special!

Warmest Regards

Dear SOMETHING WONDERFUL crew,
 
What an amazing Christmas week and an honor to be your first guests!  The memories we all made this week will last a lifetime.
 
Graeme, Lauren and Zayne all went above and beyond to ensure we were fully pampered and happy every minute.  They were always ready to do anything from getting movie night set up, water sports with the kids, running us into beach bars, serving yummy drinks of the day (Z Island Rum Punch) and on and on . . . . They helped us make some extra special memories that we will cherish, while getting photos of the whole week so we can take them home. 
 
“Something Wonderful” REALLY  was just that and we can’t wait to spend our next time with these wonderful people on this absolutely perfect boat!
 
Love,
Julie, Kevin, Robyn, Allie, Mackenzie & Maddie  XOXO
