Crew Profile

Michael and Jennifer embarked on their sailing adventures in 2003, driven by a desire to travel at a leisurely pace, allowing the world’s diverse colors to leave a lasting impression on their lives.

As avid adventurers, they seek discovery, excitement, and new friendships, with a profound wanderlust at the core of their relationship. As an inseparable married couple, they are best friends. In 2011, they chose an unconventional path to yacht ownership by building a 45-foot Catamaran, a project that took them two years of weekend labor. Following the completion of their Catamaran, they relocated to the Caribbean to pursue careers as yacht crew.

In 2013, Michael and Jennifer moved to the British Virgin Islands to launch their yachting careers. Over seven years, they have successfully completed more than 70 luxury term charters. Initially, they operated sailing yachts in the Virgin Islands, completing four seasons before expanding their expertise to motor yachts. They have crewed on various sailing catamarans, including Lagoon, Sunreef, Balance, Gunboat, and motor yachts such as Broward, Marquis, Crescent, Sunseeker, and Ocean Alexander. Their cruising experiences span the Caribbean Leeward and Windward Islands, Florida, the Bahamas, New Zealand, British Columbia, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest.

Jennifer, originally from Oregon, has a passion for fresh, local food and world cuisines. She earned a degree from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and further honed her skills in Paris, specializing in patisserie. With seven years of diverse culinary experience, she shifted her focus to healthcare, attending Portland State University while working as a professional nanny and personal chef. These experiences have shaped her into an exceptional yacht chef, mate, and stewardess. Jennifer excels in delivering a variety of cuisines, using her foundation as a trained chef to create meals from scratch with raw ingredients, catering to discerning palates. Her expertise in managing food preferences and allergies has earned her accolades from numerous guests.

Michael, originally from California, views life as an endless adventure, always seeking the next challenge. Before becoming a yacht captain, he worked as an industrial engineer for 15 years, a career that fostered his problem-solving skills. As a yacht captain, he also manages the engineering aspects and has freelanced as a ship’s engineer on motor yachts over 100 feet. Michael's energetic and active nature makes him an excellent guide for outdoor activities, sailing, and water sports. His problem-solving experience has cultivated a calm and patient demeanor, allowing him to lead with imagination and a can-do attitude.

Together, Michael and Jennifer form a naturally cohesive team, consistently delivering outstanding yacht charters.
