Crew Information
Captain
Chef/First Mate
Captain: Wade Phillip Ball
Tippee & Wade are no strangers to the water or to entertaining friends and family. And they are very excited to be on the Caribbean charter scene! There is nothing they are more passionate about than watching friends and family enjoying their Lagoon 450F and making memories.
Their motto is “Dream it. Then do it”. And that’s exactly what they are doing. Both have an entrepreneurial spirit and love the challenge of a new adventure. They both retired early from the corporate world after 30 years and immediately started an online business and began to execute on their dream of owning a catamaran and chartering in the Virgin Islands. Both love to travel, but the Virgin Islands stole their hearts a few years prior when they were married on St John, so this is where they decided to execute their dream!
A funny story they tell is that when they met, Wade was an “all power” toy aficionado. He owned several “power toys” including a power boat. Tippee had developed a passion for sailing in her 20’s while sailing off the beach in Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. And she preferred the quieter art of sailing versus power. When first asked about sailing, Wade’s response was “I don’t sail, I like power and speed”. That all quickly changed when Tippee planned their first sailing adventure off the coast of South Carolina. He loves to shut off the engines on their lagoon 450F and just listen to the wind. And as they say “the rest is history”.
Wade and Tippee have five children, in their 20's and 30's. Four daughters and one son. They also have four grandchildren. When they aren’t sailing or traveling, spending time with them is their favorite thing to do. They also love to fish and Tippee usually catches the biggest fish! But Wade is ok with that as long as it’s something she can cook for him.
Tippee’s love of cooking was inspired early in her life by friends and family who shaped her culinary talents. She continues to actively educate herself and learn new flavors and techniques in her culinary art. Her famous pasta with Italian Gravy is a frequently requested item from friends and family.
Wade has always loved the water, owning boats since college. Since falling in love with sailing, he has been actively educating himself on both the art of sailing and has received his captain’s license. Wade is an avid DIY’er and has ample opportunity to use his talents on the boat.
Whiskey Business also has a third crew member. He’s a four legged crew member who greets guests and enamors them with his piercing blue eyes. “Bo”, part husky and part gray hound was rescued by Tippee when he was three months old and is very emotionally intelligent! He’s never met a stranger and he might just be your favorite crew member. "Bo" can be boarded upon request.
Tippee & Wade believe that experiences and adventures are the best gift you can give your family and friends. And they love being part of helping others make memories to last a lifetime. They look forward to helping you and your family or friends make amazing memories on Whiskey Business!

Reviews
Tippee, what can I possibly say about her!!! SHE IS AMAZING!!! What a chef, what a woman, and now what a friend!! Her meals were so much more than any of us could have hoped for! This gal can cook! Every meal was planned in advance, orchestrated perfectly and the flavors, the aromas and the presentations I have no words which could possibly describe her. She is in my humble opinion a 5 star chef who without a doubt could be in a Michelin star restaurant. She was constantly attentive to our every want, desire and need even before we knew it. She is fun loving, humorous, sincere, and most of all genuinely a very caring person.
Wade, hmmmmmmm. Last but by far the least, this man is incredible. The way he captained the catamaran, got us from place to place and looked after all the intricate details (along with Tippee) was something to watch. This is a man whose heart and soul is with that Catamaran and the Virgin Islands. I loved sitting up top with him and listening to all the stories of everywhere they have been, places they still want to go and in general what got him and Tippee to where they are now. Wade's sense of humor mirrors his wifes and once we got to know them we would enjoy evenings just sitting and talking about really nothing but having the best time.
These two met every one of our tick marks and some. They took us to the best places to snorkel, great beaches to relax on, restaurants that only the locals really knew about. They introduced us to a lifestyle we had all hoped would be ours just for that one week. We were pampered, attended to, assisted, cared about and made to feel like we really mattered in their lives. there are no words to fully describe the experience we all had but if I had to choose one word it would be . . . . . . . . PRICELESS
Love love love this couple and their dog!
Not sure anything can measure up to our week on the boat! The food, sailing and better yet, the new friendships we made, will be something we won't forget!

Exploring the British Virgin Islands with Whiskey Business was a dream come true. Wade and Tippee's knowledge of the area meant that we discovered hidden gems and picture-perfect beaches that we wouldn't have found on our own.
Whether it was suggesting the perfect snorkeling spot or sharing fascinating local stories, they effortlessly made our trip memorable.
The vessel itself was impeccably maintained and provided all the comforts we could ask for. They ensured every detail was taken care of from delicious onboard meals to ensuring we had ample time to explore each destination, their dedication to service was commendable.
Whether you're a seasoned sailor or new to chartering, this company and its South Carolina crew will exceed your expectations with their blend of professionalism and Southern charm.

❤️ Gary and Connie
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
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
Thank you so much for an incredible trip! We loved every minute of it. We consider you our 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 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!Mike B

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.
Hey you guys, What an unbelievable ton of work you've done these past 5 days for us and don't think for one moment it's gone unnoticed or unappreciated. This boat feels like "love in motion".
My desire at this time of life is to keep the options open, and see what flows for ever and the moment, never mind the day/week. Accept all miracles and not one is bigger than another. All are meaningful to me.
Thank you so much for sharing your space, this dream, your personalities, passions, story telling, tolerance of each other and us, your good will, creativity, listening skills, chapters of life and love for each other.
You are great stewards of this boat and the sea. Living learning, layer over layer, and sharing the knowledge. Wise beings you are. Stay safe, calm and accepting as you are.
Much love & huna for you both, Pam
Cheri and my best friend
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.
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!
Stephanie Heinatz
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 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!
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!!!
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
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!
As Wade and Tippee say…….DREAM IT. THEN DO IT!
“Until the next hello!”
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.

These two are the greatest! Their boat is awesome! The sweetest dog named Bo! Tippee cooked lunch and it was great. She has so much information about the history and area that is very interesting. Wade is an awesome captain!! Definitely recommend them!
Oh and we can't forget below deck Bo!! The seaworthy pup that stole our hearts.
We just came back from sailing with Wade and Tippee and cannot wait to share with you a brief look into our adventure on Whiskey Business!
The food, the adventures, the hospitality, the company was every bit of perfection! We know this will be our first of many trips with Wade, Tippee and Bo.
Our family is forever grateful for this trip with your family, it was truly magical!
