Capt. Mason Randall
Raised in the Mountains of Colorado, Mason was brought up with a love of the outdoors and a deep curiosity for the natural world around him. He followed his passions of cycling, climbing and rafting, eventually leading him to Puerto Rico. Here he quickly discovered a whole new world of sailing and water sports and was instantly determined in learning everything related to this lifestyle. This new adventure took him to St. Thomas, where he worked as a First mate on a variety of charter vessels, soaking up all of the time he could get on the water and receiving his captain's license. He ran commercial trips in the VI for two years before transitioning into yachting, where he worked as a chief officer and engineer and developed new skills and higher standards of service. After a year aboard super yachts, Mason developed a desire to transition back into the close-knit charter industry in the VI to share his “home and love for it on a more personal basis with guests.
Taking time to travel and really immerse himself into sailing, over the years Mason has covered most of the waters between New England and Panama. He thrives off of the "sea life", loves freediving, and giving his guests the chance to experience the same thrill he gets when enjoying a fresh catch!
Chef Zoe Leppard
Hi, I'm Zoe! I am a dual citizen of Canada and the US, and grew up on a 48-foot wooden sailboat. We sailed the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, the West and East Coasts of the US & Canada, Central America, Colombia, and finally from British Columbia through the Panama Canal to Nova Scotia where I went to high school. It was while sailing that I discovered my love and passion for food. At age 12 I began cooking dinner for my family each night. I then attended the Culinary Institute of Canada and graduated with a 2 year diploma in Culinary Arts.
My first job upon graduation was on St John, USVI at a restaurant called Ocean362. I lived there for about 8 months and then left the island right before Irma and Maria hit. Since then, I have worked at several other fine dining restaurants and bakeries in cities such as West Palm Beach, Nantucket, & San Diego and landed at my last job which was chef on an 88-foot charter sport fishing boat. Im no stranger to the ocean, and combining my love of food and being on the water makes a job not even seem like one at times! With my 100T captain license and excellent charter culinary experience, I look forward to welcoming guests aboard Adventure Us!
