ABOUT
Allende is a private luxury yacht charter for bespoke, all-inclusive vacations for up to six guests.
The yacht reflects the owners elegant design aesthetic accentuated with the best of their travels to date. They specifically chose the Fountaine Pajot Helia Evolution for her light-filled interior and thoughtfully designed floor plan.
The yacht offers a balanced mix of private living and social spaces for couples, families, and groups of friends. The salon doors slide away to connect the outdoor dining area and the interior salon. Seamless windows provide 360-degree views of the islands around.

CREW
C A P T A I N | Graham Gips
USCG Masters 50 ton
C H E F | Kristiann Gips
USCG Masters 100 ton
Graham is an engineer by training who spent a successful 10-year career in the oil and gas industry. He learned to sail on a 20ft racing dinghy with Kristiann as crew. They raced weekly for several years, topped the local podium, and earned the chance to compete internationally.
If you are new to sailing, Graham would love to teach you how much fun it can be to helm and tune the sails. He knows the islands well and can craft an itinerary that suits everyone aboard. When the anchor is set each evening, Graham turns his attention to crafting cocktails to your taste.
From 2011-2015, Kristiann ran a successful catering company. She honed her culinary skills by accommodating a wide variety of preferences and dietary needs each day. She loves to combine gourmet ingredients with local delicacies for new twists on classic dishes.
Avid travelers, Kristiann and Graham have lived on four continents and visited over 40 countries. Their experiences have taught them that great vacations are made up of many small details. Kristiann delights in tailoring the menu and creating special moments for each group of guests aboard.
In 2015, Graham and Kristiann reached a point where they could focus on what they love to do most: travel, host guests, and sail. They have sailed Allende since her launch in France, cruising the Bay of Biscay, Mediterranean Sea, and crossing the Atlantic to meet you in the British Virgin Islands. Both Graham and Kristiann hold a Masters 50-ton license from the United States Coast Guard and are CPR/First Aid certified.
Graham and Kristiann welcome you to share in the luxurious life aboard Allende.

Thank you so much for an absolutely magical week aboard Allende. Your wonderful hospitality makes us feel like home. Everything from sailing to Anegada, riding a Moke, snorkeling, checking out North Sound, chilling at Jost, jumping off the Willy T is a vacation dreams are made of. We will miss you and the wonderful meals and cannot wait to celebrate our 5th anniversary with you next year.

I could not have asked for a better way to begin celebrating my milestone birthday. I so appreciate all you do to share the BVI with us. From quiet spots full of beauty to the phenomenal food, the best cocktails, and of course, Friday. This has been a vacation to remember. Can't wait to return!
