Close-up magic works particularly well on a yacht because it requires no stage, complicated production or fixed performance area.
Instead, Chris moves naturally between groups, performing impossible magic and mind reading at close quarters.
Performances can take place on deck, around the bar, in the saloon or at the dining table, wherever guests naturally gather.
Therefore, close-up magic works especially well for sunset drinks, cocktail receptions, pre-dinner entertainment and relaxed evenings on board.
For a more theatrical evening, Chris can perform Overboard, his exclusive magic show created for intimate luxury settings.
The show combines sophisticated magic, mind reading, humour and audience participation. Consequently, it transforms an evening aboard a superyacht into a private entertainment experience.
It is particularly suited to birthdays, anniversaries, private dinners and special charter evenings when guests want something genuinely different.
St Barths ranks among the Caribbean’s most prestigious yacht destinations, renowned for its luxury hotels, restaurants, beaches and spectacular yacht scene.
Chris provides bespoke entertainment for private yachts, charter guests and special events in St Barths.
For instance, guests might enjoy close-up magic during cocktails aboard the yacht before heading ashore for dinner. Alternatively, Chris can create a dedicated evening of entertainment on board.
Either way, the performance gives guests something memorable to enjoy together.
For events during particularly busy periods, we recommend booking well in advance.

St Martin and Sint Maarten serve as important hubs for Caribbean yacht charters, making them an ideal setting for private yacht entertainment.
Chris provides close-up magic and bespoke shows for yacht owners, charter guests, private celebrations and VIP events around the island.
The entertainment can also fit naturally around your itinerary. For example, you might arrange close-up magic during cocktails before dinner or book Overboard for a special evening aboard.
The British Virgin Islands offer some of the Caribbean’s most spectacular cruising and charter destinations.
Chris provides entertainment for private yacht charters exploring the BVI, creating memorable experiences for guests between island stops and during evenings aboard.

In either case, the entertainment complements the relaxed pace of an Exumas yacht charter.

A yacht charter doesn’t follow the schedule of a conventional event.
Guests may spend the afternoon swimming, head ashore for dinner, return for cocktails and then decide spontaneously how they want to spend the evening.
Chris’s entertainment works around that lifestyle.
For example, a close-up performance can happen naturally during drinks, while a dedicated show can form part of an evening programme.
As a result, the entertainment feels like a natural part of the charter rather than a scheduled interruption.
