Captain David Stone and Chef Stephanie Stone bring a shared love of sailing, hospitality, and the Caribbean to every charter. After years of cruising together and leading annual bareboat charters throughout the British Virgin Islands, they have turned a longtime passion into an exciting new chapter as a professional captain-and-chef team. David's calm leadership and commitment to safety are complemented by Stephanie's culinary creativity, thoughtful organization, and genuine love of caring for others.  They believe that the best charters are about creating an experience that feels thoughtful without ever feeling over planned. They take pride in getting to know their guests and creating each charter around the things they love most. Whether that means discovering a quiet anchorage, spending the afternoon snorkeling and exploring ashore, enjoying an exhilarating day under sail, or simply relaxing aboard with a favorite book, they want every day to unfold at a pace that feels just right for their guests. From thoughtful planning and smooth sailing to fresh meals shared around the table, David and Stephanie create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where guests can truly unwind, explore, laugh, and enjoy being together. Their goal is to take care of the details so their guests can focus on what matters most - enjoying the Caribbean and creating memories they will still be talking about long after the charter is over.
