TORTUGA

Captain Lars Lindstrom and Chef Jasmine “Jaz” Johnson bring an adventurous, wellness-minded, and deeply experienced energy to charter life. Lars, originally from Nashville, discovered sailing at age 9 and eventually traded an engineering career for life at sea after a year-long Caribbean sabbatical aboard his own sailboat. Since then, he has sailed extensively across the Pacific, Caribbean, and Mediterranean on both private and performance yachts, always happiest when the sails are up and the engines are off.

Jaz grew up along the East Coast with a lifelong connection to the water through diving, fishing, sailing, and island life in Key West. With a background in exercise physiology, nutrition, yoga, hospitality, and French culinary training, she brings a thoughtful blend of wellness, flavor, and warmth to the galley. Her cuisine is inspired by global travel, fresh local ingredients, and the comfort of family-style cooking.

Together, Lars and Jaz create a charter experience rooted in adventure, ease, and connection. Whether teaching guests to kiteboard or wingfoil, curating flavorful meals, or sharing their love for life under sail, they offer a relaxed yet memorable experience for guests looking to fully embrace the Caribbean.
