RJ
RJ
Captain

Captain RJ, originally from Alaska, began sailing many years ago in the Puget Sound, surrounded by mountains and the beautiful city of Seattle. Longing for warmer wind and water (as many of us do), RJ decided to sell his businesses, officially downsize his life and move to St. Thomas to become a sailboat captain. And that is exactly what he did. Not long after moving to the USVI, RJ found himself the cocaptain of a fun little day charter boat named, Rumbaba. Though she was a simple little 39ft Hunter monohull; Rumbaba was a blast to take guests out on. Incredible scenery, snorkeling with turtles, delicious grilled lunch entrees and all the fresh cocktails you could handle made each outing something special for every guest. Making the top 10 of all activities to do on St. Thomas and Trip Advisor verified that!

Jenna
Chef/Mate

Expert in island cuisine, serving delicious meals at the beautiful teak table.First Mate Jenna grew up on Newman Lake, Washington; a beautiful little lakeside community outside of Spokane. Her love for boating began from a very young age; sitting on her Dad’s lap and racing the speed boat from shore to shore. Jenna’s eventual move to Seattle only gave her more access to playing on sailboats on the Puget Sound. Loving the city, but needing escape, boat camping, or as Jenna would say, “Bamping”, around the many islands and bays of the sound became a frequent weekend event. She could also always be found as steady and faithful crew for the infamous Duck Dodge races of South Lake Union!

"1. Crew Friendliness: RJ and Jenna could not have been more hospitable!! They were so gracious to all of us and made sure we were all individually having a great time. 2. Crew Knowledge: Jenna really knows her stuff in the kitchen for different dietary preferences, and did a great job making delicious and healthy food for all of us. Her plating and tablescapes were creative and inviting. RJ knows so much about the industry, the area, the boat, the technology...we really enjoyed our talks while underway, and how he pointed out interesting stuff we would have otherwise missed. We learned alot, and not just about Pirates' DIce. 3. Quality of Service: Top Notch. Everything we asked for, we got, including a swim with a turtle! 4. The Professionalism of Crew: Jenna and RJ were very professional in what they handled, they worked well together, and they did it in an approachable manner. They are a stellar team. 5. Value of the Cost of the Charter: We really appreciate everyone handling the change from the original charter to the Delana Mae. 6. On-Board Cuisine: Outstanding 7. Destination / Location: USVI are beautiful, and getting to see them from a catamaran makes them more so. 8. Water-Sports: Great toys to use, especially the Hangout. It was used quite a bit. 9. Overall Satisfaction: This vacation will be difficult to top. May have to repeat. 10. What was the most memorable highlight of your yacht charter vacation? RJ is a champ when it came to photos and videos with his GoPro and the drone. He created a library for us to share our photos, and having those to look back on will always put smiles on our faces. It is difficult to pick just one. In general - how attentive and fun RJ and Jenna were. RJ and Jenna know all the fun things to do! We loved having pizza delivery via dinghy and a great highlight was probably our lunch at Lime Out. Such a unique experience!"
