Dante is a 2023 Bali 5.4 that embodies the pinnacle of modern yacht design, offering an unmatched charter experience in the Virgin Islands. Known for their innovative layout and seamless indoor-outdoor living, Bali yachts are purpose-built for luxury charters—and Dante is no exception.

Ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends, this 54-foot catamaran offers expansive living spaces, stylish comfort, and smart design throughout. One of Dante’s most beloved features is the signature Bali cockpit enclosure, which transforms the space into an open-air haven or a weather-protected lounge at the touch of a button—perfect for taking in the views, rain or shine.

Accommodations include four beautifully appointed queen cabins, each with its own en suite bathroom, comfortably hosting up to eight guests in total privacy and comfort.

Guests gravitate toward the multiple lounge zones, from the spacious flybridge to the sun-drenched foredeck, both offering prime spots for sunbathing, sunset cocktails, or catching the Caribbean breeze. The yacht’s soft, modern lines and designer finishes make every moment aboard feel luxurious yet relaxed.

Inside, Dante boasts a bright and breezy layout that includes a well-ventilated U-shaped galley perfect for gourmet creations, a large chart table with sweeping sea views, and a versatile saloon-dining area that transitions effortlessly from enclosed comfort to open-air elegance.

As a true representation of the Bali brand, Dante delivers exceptional livability with generous sunpads, oversized seating, and wide walkways that ensure ease of movement and safety for all aboard. Whether you’re chasing adventure or pure relaxation, Dante is your gateway to an unforgettable charter in paradise.

Meet Your Crew

Capt. Sean O’Grady

Growing up sailing with my Dad, I found the love for the ocean at an early age. After a few years off the water, I got back into sailing in SF Bay, enjoying racing and charters both. I have worked with USA76, a former America's cup IACC yacht, since 2018. I have done some commercial fishing in Alaska as well as some sport fish guiding and working on large yachts. I worked as the maintenance director and a Captain on a pair of Santa Cruz 70’s in Monterey Bay for two years. I then made my way to the Caribbean to get some sun and share my love of the ocean breeze with all the great people I get to take out on the water.

I hold a 100 ton near coastal Master license with STCW, Sail and Assistance Towing endorsements. My philosophy as a Captain is to provide a safe fun atmosphere with the highest levels of service. Let’s laugh together and enjoy all the islands have to offer.

Chef Julia Ray

Chef Julia Ray grew up in Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes. She developed a love for boating and sailing on frequent family outings on Lake Huron and the many inland waterways that are abundant in Michigan. Julia was introduced to the Virgin Islands as a child on the first of many annual family vacations more than 30 years ago. Julia learned to cook and entertain while assisting family members during daily meal preparation and by assisting with catering numerous gatherings. Julia has also worked in the restaurant and hospitality industries. She holds degrees in both accounting and social work and although she had a successful career in the corporate world, she left it all behind in 2013 to realize her dream of living in the Virgin Islands. She has since been employed as mate and chef, sailing throughout the islands.

Energetic and personable, Julia loves to meet new people and share her enthusiasm for the islands while ensuring their comfort and safety aboard and in the water. She is certified in first aid, CPR and fire fighting. She spends much of her spare time in the kitchen, preparing and perfecting new recipes for friends and family to sample. Julia delights in spoiling guests with gourmet meals and tempting treats. She prepares a wide variety of meals and remains flexible in her meal planning to ensure the freshest and best quality food is offered to guests. Julia takes much pride in her ability to work with guests to accommodate special diets and food allergies and develop menus that will leave everyone satisfied!

“I have spent the past decade in the Virgin Islands working as a chef on charter boats. I have always enjoyed cooking regardless of what I am preparing. For me, the cooking part is the easy part. It is the creating, planning, sourcing and shopping part of cooking that is the most effort.

Most visitors to the islands do not realize that our tropical islands are not the producers of an abundance of fresh produce. The island certainly supports the growth of many tropical fruits and vegetables, such as papaya, bananas, mangos, avocados, and starfruit, but these are only available at certain times of the year and not year-round. For the remainder of the year, we chefs rely on imported produce and there are times the pickings are very slim, and sourcing enough produce to provide a variety for a week-long charter can be an enormous task.

As a gardener myself, I grow many of the herbs I use on the boat as well as tomatoes, green onions, ginger and hot peppers in the amounts necessary for week-long charters. I love to cook with ingredients when in season and do so whenever possible. And when not possible, I spend the days leading up to charter visiting every grocery store and market to find the freshest and most appealing items available and incorporate those things into my menu.

One of my favorite produce laden meals to make is tuna poke. I love the variety of colors in the dish and how the flavors all come together. Anytime I get to “play” with my knives, chopping and slicing, is a fun day in the galley for me. I like to make a special marinade for the tuna using ginger and green onions from my garden and make sure to reserve some of the marinade to serve with the dish. Tuna is one of the fish that can be sourced locally in the islands and this is a great dish to showcase its flavor.”- Chef Julia Ray

Previous Guest Testimonials

  • Guest Reviews from Previous Yacht

    We purposely picked this boat and this crew for such a special week. 

    Sean read our group perfectly From Day ONE. He has a wonderful sweet temperament for each of us. Funny and talented he takes great command of the boat our stops and the ‘sea’. Julia is beyond talented with her culinary skills. We are a family of foodies and each meal got better and better. Everyday she blew our minds from shrimp tacos, mahi nachos, key lime pie. All of it. We feel like we’ve made new friends which tells you how wonderful they are    We are blessed with the memories thanks to the two of you.

    Sean and Julia –

    Thank you for making our time sailing through the BVI so incredible! Sean, your expertise and local knowledge of the islands was invaluable. Every spot you recommended was perfect, though Clint may have some PTSD from his pirate bite at Willy T's. You kept us laughing and feeling at ease, even when we were attempting "creative" dingy entrances.

    Julia, your thoughtfulness and amazing food made every meal an event and something to look forward to. Thanks for taking such good care of us and always being ready with a helpful hand and pitcher of delicious drinks!

    You two make an awesome crew! Thank you for a truly memorable week for us six friends. Keep spreading those good vibes and good luck with any crabs you encounter :)

    We just wanted to drop a quick note to say a massive thank you for making our catamaran adventure in the BVI absolutely amazing!

    “Chaun”- your sailing skills are top-notch (much better than Eric's) and your competitive spirit added much excitement to our trip. We loved every single spot you took us to and your stories/jokes made the trip even more fun.

    Julia- your cooking blew us away! Every meal was a highlight and we’ll definitely be dreaming about your amazing desserts. Thank you for taking good care of us and always being ready to help us out of the tender, just as we are about to arrive

    You both made this trip unforgettable and we're so grateful for all the hard work and good vibes. Can't wait to see it again with you someday!

    Best,

    Sean and Julia,
    The entire week was amazing!

    Thank you Julia for not only accommodating our dietary needs but knocking it out of the park! All of us agree that we couldn’t find a restaurant that was even close to your foods/meals & snacks!

    Sean thank you for taking us to the most perfect spots to swim, snorkel, spot the coolest ocean critters, all while keeping us all safe. (This can be challenging with this crew.)

    You two make an awesome team! If only we could take you home.

    Safe travels,

    Julia & Sean-

    We’ve been going to the Virgin Islands for years & our kids grew up hearing our stories of sailing and enjoying this beautiful part of the world. Our dream was to someday share this with them, hoping they’d cherish this experience as much as we have. You both made sure that happened! Julia there is no way to describe your skills in the culinary arts & how you knew each day to surprise us with every meal, delicious & beautiful. Sean, your knowledge of sailing & the Indians & the goal to provide unique experiences each day was appreciated by us all!
    We want to thank you both for providing us with the trip of a lifetime & memories will cherish forever. Our only regret is that it has to end….. For now!!!

    -Thank you-
