About Me

If you know the man, than you know the island!
If you know the man, than you know the island!

I get frequently asked, “Where did your love of travel and the sea begin?”…well it’s hard to pin down but I was looking through some old family slides (yes slides – lol) and it hit me – I think it was Dunn’s River Falls, in Ocho Rios, Jamaica when I was 4 years old.  What was a 4-year-old doing climbing the falls on the shoulders of a local tour guide? Fair question – my parents took me everywhere - and so it began.

Traveling the Caribbean and the boating world was instilled in me very young and now I’m just addicted! Ask me about getting married on a deserted island in the USVI.....These are my favorite destinations:

  • The Virgin Islands - both USVI and of course my favorite The BVI
  • The Cayman Islands 
  • The Bahamas
  • The Turks and Caicos
  • Leeward Islands
  • West Indies
  • The Florida Keys
  • Sulawesi, Indonesia

If you want to see the secret gems, let me craft a journey to include the British Virgin Islands, Little Cayman, Cayman Brac, French Caicos, Anegada, Bonaire or even Indonesia – I'll share my favorites! 

I specialize in custom crafted experiences in the places most people never reach! I love my experiences to feel “local” – I’m not a fan of “tourist trap” scenes unless there is a great souvenir on the "must-have" list (Soggy Dollar T-shirt OK) – but off the beaten path is where I prefer to linger.  Think, a rum factory, banana plantation, brewery or dining experience in the water or on a secluded beach – I’ve got this!

I am an avid scuba diver, yacht charter specialist and love anything involving the water, swimming in it, floating on it, exploring below it, and boating through it.  I have a great knack for assembling small groups on private yacht charters-power or sail (bring your own captain or I can hire one for you!) – I have cultivated the contacts over years of personal experience and will make sure everyone has a life changing set of memories.   

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails"     – Mark Twain
