MEET YOUR CREW - Captain Chris Stubbs and Chef/First Mate Kaya Carrion
Chris has been sailing since he was a small child growing up surrounded by the barrier islands and marshes of the Carolinas. His first jobs were teaching sailing and then crewing larger monohulls which led to several months aboard a 120’ schooner in New Zealand at 18. At the College of Charleston, he doubled in Anthropology and Geology with a minor in Archeology while first working as a Divemaster and Aquarium Diver, and then later joining the scientific and marine crews aboard oceanographic research vessels.

I'll Be Back!
This was my now favorite spring break trip ever! Everyone running this charter (including Waldo) is awesome and the coolest people I've ever met. I have never tried and successfully liked so much of the food I had this week and I will be the first to purchase a cookbook if one is made.
I really wish I could do this trip with you guys every year. I'll definitely be back for a USVI trip. You guy...

Learned so Much From Chris and Kaya
I absolutely loved this trip! The amount of fun and happiness I had on this boat was "unmathable". Chris and Kaya's knowledge about the wildlife here is incredible.
Personally, this is the best trip I have ever been on. My favorite part was seeing all of the different animals in the water while snorkeling.
I learned so much and Chris taught me how to dive down deep so I could see all of the fish...

Incredible Hosts
An amazing tour of BVI and USVI over the past week. We had stops of Peter, Cooper, Salt, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Tortola, St John, and others which now escape me. Highlights included turtles, rays, barracudas, Sargent majors, along with restful sights and sounds of the water.
Open ocean sailing to and from Anegada was a delight. On the way punctuated by numerous whales!
On Thursday we had a...
