Captain Matt Neidlinger
Hi, I’m Matt—and I’m looking forward to welcoming you aboard. Before we meet in person, let me share a bit about my journey.

I grew up on the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois, where boating, water-skiing, and fishing were part of everyday life. My parents instilled in me a deep respect for the water from an early age, and that connection has shaped everything since.

In 2005, I took a charter vacation in the British Virgin Islands—and it changed everything. The beauty of the Caribbean, the rhythm of life on the water, and the joy of sharing it with others sparked something permanent. Just a year later, I moved to the islands and began my career as a mate aboard a charter catamaran.

Seventeen years later, I’m still doing what I love. I’ve had the privilege of chartering throughout the Bahamas and the eastern Caribbean, and today, I’m proud to welcome guests aboard the Barefeet Retreat. Whether you’re eager to paddle, snorkel, hike—or simply relax and soak in the scenery—I’m here to help you make the most of every moment. I hold a 200-ton US Coast Guard License, am a certified ASA Sailing Instructor, and a PADI
Divemaster. More than anything, I’m passionate about creating unforgettable experiences on the water.

Chef Kari Compson
After more than two decades in corporate America, I traded boardrooms for blue water and never looked back. My journey into yachting began with a charter in the Grenadines, and that experience lit a fire in me. I earned my STCW certification and dove headfirst into the world of crewed charters, working in the Grenadines, Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas.

My first chef role was aboard a large motor yacht, but I quickly realized my heart belonged to smaller boats—where I could connect directly with guests and craft meals that truly elevate their experience. My cooking reflects my adventurous spirit and deep love for life on the water. I focus on fresh, wholesome ingredients and love weaving local flavors into every dish. I also understand the importance of dietary needs—having a food allergy myself—and I take great care to tailor menus to each guest’s preferences.

When I’m not in the galley, you’ll find me snorkeling, hiking, paddle boarding, or swimming in the turquoise waters. I can’t wait to welcome you aboard Barefeet Retreat and share the flavors, sights, and serenity that make this lifestyle so unforgettable.
