Yacht Charter Brokers Who Are We?
Our team of Charter Manager Kerry Hucul, Yacht Charter Specialists Stephanie Lowrey, and Ken Heare, Charter Assistant Kara Von Behren, with Marine Engineer and all-around knowledge of everything water-related Bazza Cooper are standing by. Christopher Balcom is our back-end, web guy.
Kerry has comprehensive knowledge of every facet of the yachting industry would be a gross understatement.In 2012 Kerry created H2O Luxury Yachts. She continued crewing her own charters as well as building up her brokering business for a year and in 2013, armed with over 15 years of knowledge and experience, she made the decision to devote all of her time to H2O. Kerry acted as a Charter Yacht Owner Operator from the Mid 1990's to 2014 in the Caribbean. She is almost embarrassed to say how many charters she has completed!
Kerry is no stranger to owning and operating her own business. She comes from a hospitality and public relations background in dinner theaters and large hotels. Using her expertise in these fields she even owned and ran her own restaurant for seven years.
Kerry’s deep knowledge of every aspect of the yachting trade empowers her to execute your perfect getaway in a way that very few can. Kerry concentrates on managing and chartering select, very large sailing catamarans and smaller motor yachts that offer first class amenities and service. You can rest assured that you and your trip are in some of the world’s most capable hands.
Ken started out as a guest on a charter yacht that Kerry ran. He liked it so much he came back. Then he was silly enough to go work as a deckhand for Kerry on a few charters.
He decided that his career of selling real estate dovetailed quite nicely with yacht charters and continues to take yearly yacht charters. Now he says he is “researching” every year, but his calm and persistent manner of working with charter clients is greatly appreciated by all.
Stephanie Lowrey, has been a charter broker since 2015. She is an Associate Member of the Charter Yacht Brokers Association(CYBA). She previously worked in the music industry in artist management, tour management, and in music tour promotion.

What Customers Say
Truly spectacular!
Stephanie truly saved the day as we had a sudden change of plans for a large group. Within 4 days we were on a vacation that we could not have been any better. She was incredible, she was able to secure the most incredible catamarans in greece. The captian and crew on borh boats were unreal! The winds were high and another change of plans was for the better. We visited the real greece with an all greek crew, we got to experience greece at a whole new level. The boats were gorgeous. The captains incredibly skilled, the first mates (stew) unbelievable attention to detail and the chefs just wow. We cannot thank Stephanie enough she pulled off a miracle and she will be my go to for future charters.

Best Family Vacation Ever !!!!
My family has been on many vacations over the years, but this one will be tough to beat. First, our organizer and team were great in coordinating the trip and their assistance in identifying the right catamaran was instrumental. H2O was superb. Our cruise around the Greek Islands will never be forgotten. I should also mention the Captain, Chef and 1st mate were awesome. Thanks again for all your efforts.

Summer Star, H2O, and crew were exceptional!
This trip was a trip of a lifetime. My family of 10 adults sailed on the Summer Star for 10 days. We had in mind the islands that we wanted to visit. When we arrived at the beautiful catamaran (with the most luggage they’d ever seen 😃) we sat down with Yanni, the captain, and he explained the weather conditions to us. He then outlined what he believed would be the best use of our time. He did an INCREDIBLE job working it all out. He is very conscientious and concerned for his client’s wellbeing and interests. His planning worked out perfectly! Couldn’t have asked for anything more.
The chef, Elena, was magnificent. The meals she created were incredible. They were full of variety, taste, and the presentations all exceeded our expectations. Every meal had at least 5 different plates of yummy Greek inspired food. There was not one single thing that anyone disliked. That is rare for a group of ten! I am a self proclaimed “foodie” and her cooking is equivalent (if not better) than a Michelin starred restaurant.
The boat,Summer Star, was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for all of us to spread out. Don’t expect huge cabins, this is after all a 52’ catamaran. The only time we spent in our cabins was to sleep so no big deal. We spent every moment we weren’t asleep outside enjoying the weather, snorkeling, swimming, as sightseeing. Everything worked perfectly with no complications or mishaps. We both sailed and motored.
I will never forget this journey. I loved ever second of it. It’s going to be difficult to have another vacation that lives up to this one. I’m spoiled for life.

Kerry and H2O create truly magical vacations.
When we decided to take a bareboat charter vacation in Tortola, friends told us we needed to call Kerry at H2O Luxury Yachts and they were so right! Navigating the mounds of paperwork and logistics to pull off a vacation with so many moving parts is head spinning to say the least, but Kerry kept it simple, organized and on track, while also keeping us fully informed. Her advice and knowledge of Tortola and the charter market is invaluable which made the process smooth and enjoyable. We will definitely be giving her a call again for our next Caribbean vacation.

What a Trip!
Thank you H2O Luxury Yachts! We had such a great time and felt completely pampered! We had a great time sailing from St Thomas to and around St John. Our crew was wonderful and experienced and truly showed us a great time. Thank you for giving us a great vacation!
Alison K
What a treat being completely spoiled for a week!
Fabulous from start to finish. Kerry was informative, helpful and very very patient with my ongoing questions. She helped us select the perfect boat with a crew that was top notch. We circled around St. John and St. Thomas enjoying a week of pampered luxury. The Oui Cherie was the perfect size for our group…and the food! Wow! Waking up to the smell of homemade bread, listening to the gentle slap of waves on the shore, enjoying the first hot sip of French roast coffee, meant for incredible mornings. The nighttime dinner table rivaled the breakfast, from fresh fish to filet mignon, with top end wines and delectable deserts. We kayaked, paddle boarded, dove, snorkeled, hiked, all under the watchful eye of our attentive captain. Really, our captain and chef made the vacation perfect. They were great company, lots of fun and both experienced at sea and taking care of their guests. Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation.

Kerry from H2O makes dreams come true
If you are looking fur a dedicated , customer driven and extremely helpful broker GO NO FURTHER !
Kerry from H2O went the extra mile to turn around what looked to end in a disaster one of the most memorable holidays we have had!
Less then a fortnight before our planned charter , our charted boat was not able to receive the needed permits to sail the BVI, we were exasperated and truly at our wits end!
In less then 24 hours she lined up four alternatives that matched our needs and expectations , she helped us narrow down the decision to “Jan Felion” assisted in all the other changes in the planning and took care of all of the paperwork .
I can warm heartedly recommend H2O and Kerry .

Bahamas Charter Yacht Vacation
We chartered a large sailing catamaran (Blue Gryphon) through H2O Luxury Yachts for a Thanksgiving week, family vacation in the Bahamas. (6 Adults and 3 children ages 5, 10 & 13). They did a great job of matching our family interests and requirements with a fabulous boat. The accommodations, the crew, the amenities, water toys, food, and the itinerary were excellent. The trip was everything we could have hoped for. H2O recommended this boat and we were not disappointed. The communication throughout the process was timely and accurate. It was a fabulous experience.

Spanish Virgin Islands on a Monohull
Chartering with this company was a great experience! They helped us find right boat, location, price and made everything easy. They are super friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re interested in an adventure like chartering a boat, go with H2O Luxury Yachts!

Best Charter Broker
H20 Luxury Yachts is amazing! Just wrapped our second charter with Kerry and the team. Their website is the most detailed and Kerry proved yet again to be extremely responsive, and full of insight. She seems to know all the charter crews personally and steered us to the yacht and the crew that perfectly matched our vibe and goals for the trip.
Can’t brag enough about the advice, personal attention, and timely follow up. This should be your go-to charter booker!!

They did it Again! Amazing!
Just returned from another amazing charter in St, Martin and St, Bart's all set up by Kerry and H2O. This is the third time that I used their service and everything was again flawless. If you are looking for a team to help you have the most amazing experience while chartering, start and end your search here. From initial contact, planning the destination, choosing the right crew/yacht for your group and even checking in while on charter, communication was always fantastic and no detail is missed. Can't wait to do it again!

Perfect Greece
Outstanding trip, We surely made a lot of memories! Stephanie from H2O Luxury Yacht did an awesome job for us to have such a wonderful trip in the era of the pandemic. Highly recommended!

Perfect experience from start to finish!
Cannot say enough positive things about our experience with H2O. Corresponded with several other brokers but decided to go with H2O and Stephanie and would highly recommend to anyone considering a once-in-a-lifetime (or more frequent!) trip. Stephanie’s responsiveness and attention to detail was stellar and above expectations. We loved our charter, the captain and will hold our memories from this trip close to our hearts.

Great trip, great broker
Just got back from a catamaran charter that Kerry and Stephanie helped book. They were so great to work with and helped manage every detail. The trip couldn’t have been more perfect! The crew, the food, the drinks and the atmosphere were all perfect. Exactly as Kerry and Stephanie planned!

Sailing on the Mango
For years I've had the dream of chartering a sailboat in the Virgin Islands to enjoy the beauty of the waters. In January 2020 I booked this trip for December 2020. Little did I know that the world would come crashing in! But H2O Luxury Yachts made it happen. Kerry and Stephanie kept me posted every step on the way including the new covid protocols for the US Virgin Islands. The British Virgin Islands were not allowing tourists in so we had to forgo that part of the trip which was a disappointment, but we made the best of it.
We boarded the Mango on December 19th and had a week of sailing with Captain Kelly and first mate Diane. They made sure that we made the best of our time. They asked us what our interests were and were constantly suggesting things to do. We are snorkelers so we wanted to make the most of our time. They always suggested the best snorkeling spots so that we could see all that was available.
Both Kelly and Diane are Cordon Bleu-trained chefs, so the food was out of this world! For breakfast lunch and dinner we ate like kings. They had requested in advance that we list our favorite kinds of cuisine and drink so they had everything on board that we liked. Besides meals there were plenty of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and snacks throughout the day.
The Mango is a 40 ft catamaran so everything is compact. It took a couple of days for us to get used to the small spaces, but we made the best of it. We were the only guests on the boat so we had plenty of room to move around above deck.
If you're looking for a sailing experience in the Virgin Islands, I highly recommend H2O Luxury Yachts. I'm glad we chose to sail with them.

My "Go To" Broker for Charter Saling
I love working with Kerry and H2O Luxury Yachts when booking sailing trips. I have several trips under my belt and all but the first one have been brokered through H2O. They have done a spot on job of matching us with the perfect boat and crew each time. The customer service is impeccable. After Irma and Maria whipped through the BVI, H2O was proactive and hit the ground running to make sure we still had a boat to sail that winter. They went above and beyond to make sure we were treated right during a time that was hectic and uncertain for many brokers and boat owners. Thank you for your top notch service and individual care to make sure that all our vacations are fun, stress free and full of great memories. Can't wait to book the next sailing adventure.

Another amazing charter from the best of the best
H2O have provided us with more than one perfect charter. We have sailed with them twice now, 5 years apart and the service level is second to none. All our needs were catered for and our experience was made all the better by the crew that helped the dream holiday run smoothly. Their local knowledge enabled us to experience things we would never have known about.
Many years of experience, attention to detail and passion have resulted in a company that gets it right every time.
I can't thank them enough.

Oh my goodness! Kerry made our trip planning SO easy! She matched us with the perfect boat and crew!
Wow!
My trip aboard St. Ana with Chef Maya and Captain Jack was absolutely amazing. From the moment I contacted Kerry, I knew I was in good hands. She answered every single question we had in a timely and professional manner which made the process much easier than just trying to contact an individual boat. Which initially we had tried to contact other brokerages, but found that Kerry was the most put together and reliable.
She personally has years of experience working on boats so she knows the ins and outs of the charter business. She paired our group with Maya and Jacek and they showed us the time of our lives. From amazing Lebanese cuisine to stunning sunsets and stories from the captain we were elated.
If you are wondering why Kerry is the best in the business, look no further than her experience on board as well as behind a computer. When you speak to someone who not only cares about every party’s interests, but worries you find that the booking process is very personable.
10/10 would book with Kerry again and happily hop back on board with chef Maya and Jacek
