Captain Matt is a USCG licensed Captain with over two decades of professional experience on sailing and motor yachts up to 114ft. on the Atlantic & Pacific, throughout the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean Sea.

He has sailed over 70,000 nautical miles, crossed the Atlantic twice, raced in over 25 regattas and lived aboard his yachts in the US Virgin Islands since 2003.

Originally from Massachusetts, Matts family traces their lineage back to the Mayflower and has strong generational maritime ties in New England.
He grew up spending summers on Cape Cod, where he learned to sail from a young age aboard his familys boats.

In his early years in the Virgin Islands, Matt broadened his nautical knowledge base by working in a shipyard, and subsequently a sail-loft.

Matt has lived in and around National Parks most of his life, has a background in wilderness search & rescue and emergency medicine, worked as a ski instructor at Vail Resorts, and (prior to his segue into yachting) excelled in fine dining service which culminated at a Michelin rated establishment.

He attended university with a focus in Japanese ceramics and bronze casting and holds a black belt in traditional Tae Kwon-Do.

Chef Tmana is a talented professional chef who originally hails from the coast of Maine where her family operates a thriving New England seafood catering business.

She draws diverse culinary inspiration from her travels abroad in Europe, the Bahamas and Caribbean, not to mention her New England roots.

Tmana truly enjoys providing exceptional and inventive cuisine to all who find a seat at her table and has a penchant for creating pastries, desserts and baked goods.

An accomplished sailor in her own right, Tmana has sailed over 5,000 nautical miles including several offshore multi-day passages.

Matt & Tmana were married in the Virgin Islands on their adopted island home of St. John in 2015.

They honeymooned by sailing from Florida to the Virgin Islands on a 6 month cruise through the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Spanish Virgin Islands.

Matt and Tmana have been running term charters in the USVI and Bahamas for 7 years on catamarans from 45 up to 70ft.

Together, Matt & Tmana have sailed thousands of miles and genuinely love creating memorable experiences for their guests through their shared passions for nature, yachting, travel, and cuisine.
