Captain Jake, a North Carolina native who traded the hills for the ocean waves. After studying business and EMS in Charlotte, I veered off the traditional path to become a professional Raft Guide and Rock-Climbing Instructor. My love for the sea led me back to the coast in 2014, where I started my yachting journey as a crew member, maintaining yachts both above and below the waterline.
From day charters in Miami, offering parasailing, scuba diving, and sunset sailing, I quickly moved up the ranks. I became the first mate of a mega yacht, sailing around the Great Lakes, the East Coast of North America, The Bahamas, Exumas, and Puerto Rico before finding my haven in the Caribbean.
Exploring the warm Caribbean waters is my passion. The best part of my day is guiding guests to my favorite snorkel/dive spots, sharing my knowledge and appreciation for the magnificent underwater world unique to the Caribbean. My ultimate wish is to ignite in my guests an overwhelming passion for the ocean, ensuring they leave with smiles as deep as the sea. 🌊⚓😊
Chef Nina
Ahoy there! I’m Chef Nina, a Brit with a heart of gold set on the high seas. Picture this journey: property management, security, financial services, and I even spiced things up at the British Grand Prix and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. But wait, the real adventure began when I discovered the magic of yachting!
In 2021, I kissed land life goodbye and embarked on a sea-faring escapade. From the dazzling Med to the turquoise waters of Sint Maarten, St Barths, the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique, the Bahamas, and St Vincent and the Grenadines.
My kitchen isn’t just about flavors; it’s a canvas for visual delights. I whip up dishes that are Instagram-worthy and taste like a slice of paradise. My mission? To ensure you leave Utopia with memories that’ll be the talk of your next dinner party. Ready to set sail on a feast for the senses? Let’s make waves!
