Tippee & Wade,

Thank you so much for an incredible trip! We loved every minute of it. We consider you are new friends! And, Bo is the coolest pup! We will stay in touch and wish you all the best thru the remainder of your sailing career. Tippee - I definitely want your cookbook - you cooked amazing meals.

Love,
Gary and Connie

Tippee & Wade

We were worried at first when we had to re-book but the zoom call eased our minds but when we got here and met you t.wo it all disappeared. You were both the best host we could have had and so much fun to be with. Sincerely hope you come visit us in Colorado, we’d love to keep in touch and please think about Greece 2025 Sep.

Ed & Kate

Tippee & Wade,

The trip was awesome. Thanks for everything and we couldn’t have met two nicer people. Please keep in touch and if you’re ever up our way, give us a call.

Thanks again,
Laurie & Craig

Wade and Tippee were an amazing crew! We greatly enjoyed their friendliness and knowledge of the USVI and BVI. The boat was spacious, well organized, and extremely clean. The food and drinks were outstanding and exceeded our expectations! Every meal was meticulously prepared with the utmost attention to presentation, freshness, and taste! Our preference sheet was followed to the letter.

Tippee and Wade were extremely courteous, helpful, so friendly, and knowledgeable about the USVI/BVI! Both the pace and itinerary were exactly as I expected and perfect for our group!

Tippee and Wade are the best in the business!

Dear Tippe and Wade,

30 years ago a private sailing charter in the Caribbean topped my bucket list and has stayed at the top until this week - when you checked off that box. This trip has met and exceeded all my hopes and expectations with a bonus childhood connection and two new friends (plus a canine pal!) Wade, I appreciate your easy nature combined with your management of the very serious side of our safe passage. I also appreciate your patience as I learned to get in and out of the dinghy. Your cocktails and mocktails are also delicious!

Tippe, your food is astonishing, and your stories inspiring. Somehow we felt like welcome old friends from the minute we boarded. That is without your nature, and this hosting gig is perfect for you.

This is my 3rd time aboard the Whiskey Business but my first overnight charter. When my sister in law was contemplating a boat charter for her 40th, I recommended she check out Whiskey Business. Tippee and Wade are first class hosts, the food is incredible and the vessel itself is perfect for what she was looking for. Lucky for me she invited us to join her on this once in a lifetime trip! I could not recommend these guys enough. You come aboard as guests but leave as family. Tippee and Wade are a phenomal team on the seas. Our bellies were happy, our glasses were full and the conversation was plentiful. Bo is the best pup in the Caribbean, his blue life jacket is known by many folks in the area who all have such wonderful things to say about this crew. They have made a name for themselves in the USVI and once you sail with them you will know why. I look forward to being aboard again. Thank y'all for making Katie's 40th birthday amazing!

Our family had a spectacular week on Whiskey Business! Just the break we needed between Christmas and New Years. Chef Tippee and Capt Wade took care of us like family and Bo the pup was a loving and fun companion. The delicious and creative food, the crystal water, the hikes, the weather, the island cocktails made for a dream vacation.

It exceeded our expectations and we fell in love with living on a sailboat !! Hope we can do it again soon. They are the ultimate hosts.

We probably do not know enough adjectives to describe the amazing week we spent with Tippee and Wade and Bo on Whiskey Business. They talk about having a dream vacation, well our dreams not only came true but we had new adventures and made lasting memories, and two new friends. Where do we start: OK let’s start with the crew, Captain Wade, Admiral/Chef Tippee, and boat dog Bo. Admiral/Chef Tippee made some of the most delicious meals we have ever eaten. Every day and each meal was a culinary adventure. She was able to blend tastes, textures, and colors to create delightful meals. Tippee also had such great knowledge of wonderful places to hike and explore as well as knowledge of landmarks and other boats, she spotted Jeff Bezos’s $500 Million schooner. Every day we were greeted with a heartfelt good morning and ended each day with a heartfelt good night. Captain Wade was a fantastic skipper. He knew how to expertly navigate the 40 knot winds and 6-8 foot seas effortlessly. He and Tippee were great story tellers about the ocean and the various bays we went to and spent the night in. They were extremely flexible when the weather started to get a bit rough, they altered our course, made some adjustments to where we were going, and found us some less bumpy coves. They also were able to direct us to the best snorkeling spots we have every been to. You have to ask Wade to make you either a Pain Killer or a Bushwacker, two local delicious cocktails. If Wade can’t make it, it doesn’t need to be served. A huge thank you to Tippee and Wade for making our pre-Christmas surprise for our daughter and son-in-law, a Christmas cocktail. Then an even bigger surprise, was the cocktail, called a girl scout cookie shot, a tradition from Francestown, NH, that our Daughter and Son-in-law set up with Tippee and Wade Bo the boat dog, what a cool name for a cool dog. We had a great time letting Bo show us the trails as we visited the Petroglyphs and the sugar plantation. You might even find a picture of me and Bo sleeping on the deck. Sometimes you get very lucky and meet the kind of people you treat like family, Tippee and Wade made us feel like family all week. If you want to eat outstanding cuisine, experience the USVI like a local, swim with fishes, octopus, sharks, rays, starfish, and turtles, as well as drink the best cocktails made on the water in the Caribbean, then you must visit Wade and Tippee on Whiskey Business. You won’t believe you could have this much fun.

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!

This was our first trip to the Virgin Islands and cant imagine a better way to go! Captain Wade, Chef Tippee and their trusty Skipper, Bo, made it a trip of a lifetime. This sights were breathtaking sailing from cove to cove. We had unlimited activities from snorkeling, paddle boarding, lounging in the hammocks to exploring some of the islands famous attractions like The Baths and of course visiting some of the world-famous bars. The meals prepared by Tippee rivals 5-star restaurants and not only did Wade navigate the seas but he is also a master mixologist. From the moment we stepped onboard to the day we left a week later, we felt completely pampered.

What an amazing experience in the Virgin Islands🌴Captain Wade amd 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!

This charter is mind-blowing and fabulous. I’m sure there are many options but I can guarantee that the food, hospitality, and attentiveness of Captain Wade and his beautiful wife Tippee is unparalleled!!! We arrived as acquaintances and left as family! It’s extraordinarily relaxing, surreal scenery, fun things to do (paddle boards, snorkeling, swimming, hiking……whatever your heart desires.

The most important nuance of the entire trip was we were all made to feel welcome, accepted, and very cared-for. Tippee is worthy of her chef credentials and Wade can mix you a killer drink (my favorite was the Painkillers!) so get ready to sit back, relax and enjoy what is a TRUE vacation. I certainly hope to visit again soon!!!

This charter trip was a once and a lifetime trip! Wade and Tippie are such genuine people and certainly take pride in their business. Whiskey Business boat was meticulously clean and well stocked with our preferred drink and food. The fresh gourmet meals prepared by Tippie was full of flavor, and the presentation was just as delightful as well. We enjoyed the drink of the day as we spent most of the time basking in the sun on the sun deck and in the hammocks. We also enjoyed the water activities and going ashore for some retail therapy. I will forever cherish this trip as it was a trip that was gifted by Wade and Tippie in honor of our dear friend who passed recently this year. This speaks volumes to Wade and Tippie’s sincerity, as this was their special friend as well. They not only ensured we enjoyed our time, but most importantly embrace this trip to remember our family member/friend. Last but not least, Bo their dog was an added bonus who provided pet therapy and guide dog for hiking. Thank you again for your hospitality, words can’t even express my gratitude! We literally boarded the boat as a friend, but left as family!

I had the honor to be a part of a celebration of life for our dear friend who had past earlier this year. It was gifted by the wonderful owners of Whiskey Business! Tippee and Wade were such amazing hostesses and made our trip perfect! Their catamaran was super clean and beds super comfy! Tippee went out of her way to make my trip comfortable since I have a food allergy, Celiac’s disease, and cooked my meals separate and especially for me and from cross contamination. She took time out and doubled checked with me to reassure what I could eat which was amazing, delicious, fresh and full of flavor! Wade is an amazing mixologist and always created some wonderful tasty island cocktails. He also made sure we were comfortable and safe when we were paddle boarding, snorkeling and swimming. He is the perfect Captain! He explained every bay we visited and is highly knowledgeable on what areas to visit. He took pride in his catamaran and it showed! We also fell in love with their sweet dog Bo. Very well behaved and brought smiles to our faces with his handsome, calm demeanor and gorgeous blue eyes! I can certainly say we have gained special close friendships and can easily call them family. I can’t thank them enough for their generosity! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Tippee, Wade, and Bo!

We just returned from our fantastic all star trip on Whiskey Business with Wade & Tippee. A total 5 star trip! We miss it so much already! 🌴⛵️ what a fabulous time we all had! The boat was so much roomier and luxurious than we could have imagined, the meals we way more gourmet than we could have imagined! Tippee is amazing with what she could cook in her kitchen, and Wade’s competence with the boating and bar tending were spectacular! He was so accommodating with setting us up for snorkeling, retrieving us in the dingy 😜, taking care of all the details, even figuring out all our favorite drinks! We miss you! How we will we ever be able to take care of ourselves again?!

“We chartered on Whiskey Business June 15 - 22, 2022. From the moment we stepped aboard, Tippee, Wade, & Bo welcomed us and made us feel at home, on their home.

The five of us could not have experienced a better week. It was flawless and pure enjoyment. We were in a stress free environment. They took care of everything and there was nothing too difficult for Tippee and Wade to do for us.

We sailed; we swam; we fished; we hiked; we snorkeled; we paddled on the SUPs; we spent time on a beach and had lunch delivered to us by Tippee and Wade. And, we helped celebrate Tippee’s birthday with a live music concert on board. With all of those activities, there was still time to relax, read, chat and laugh together. It was perfect!

We chose the all inclusive option and are so glad we did. Tippee is an exemplary chef. She made magic happen in the galley. No matter whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we were never disappointed. The meals from the galley rival 5 star restaurants, thanks to Tippee’s expertise and innovations. Wade is an excellent captain. But, also, his ability to mix up a variety of delicious drinks is simply the best. Again, never disappointed. He was continually making sure we we had the equipment needed for all our aquatic adventures. And, Bo was a wonderful companion for our sailing adventure. Bo charmed us all, greeting us every morning with loving nudges and kisses.

This vacation and our time aboard Whiskey Business with Tippee, Wade, & Bo was just wonderful! We felt comfortable, pampered, and loved. We cherish the memories we have from this wonderful and memorable vacation. Our time together has made us lifelong friends and we look forward to another adventure in the future

We all recommend trying a sailing charter on Whiskey Business. You will not be disappointed.

Diane, Page, Missy, Donna , & Denise”

“Our family of four just finished a week with Tippee and Wade on Raisin’ Sail charters and had a fantastic time. They did a great job making sure they knew what we were hoping for, and handled everything - planning and logistics, drinks and meals, activities and outings, safety, and comfort - beautifully.

The boat cabins and shared spaces were spacious, comfortable and well-equipped, the drinks and meals were outstanding, we had just the right combination of activities and down time, and Tippee and Wade were generally just a great team at making sure we were taken care of at every step. And on top of all of that, they were fun to be around and became instant friends.

Highly recommend!”

“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!!”

“Checked a bucket list item off with a trip to St Thomas and St John. Spent a couple days at a hotel on St Thomas then toured St John and it’s National Park with Raisin’Sail Island Charters on Whiskey Business. The girls took a introduction to scuba class and went on their first dive. We snorkeled with sea turtles, we hiked to see petroglyphs and old sugar mill ruins, we laughed and ate. We spent 4 nights moored in National park waters. We come home well rested.

Thank you Wade & Tippee Bishop Ball for taking such good care us and opening your boat and sharing you dog Bo with us. It was a week we will never forget.”

“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!”
