Jonathan Spector, Captain

Jonathan (Jonny) grew up around salt water and maritime activities. Living in the Virgin Islands since he was a teenager, he has been a sailor for 18 years, and Captain of several private yachts. He is a USCG U.S. Merchant Marine Officer with a 100-Ton Master Captain's License, with Sail Endorsement, STCW95 and APCA compliant.

Jonny can make your sailing experience calm and relaxing, or if you prefer, you can share in some thrilling 'rails in the water' sailing. He not only knows how to get you to your next port, he makes sure you have fun getting there. He is also a great conversationalist and host.

"My biggest satisfaction is when our guests say at the end of the week, 'That's the best vacation we ever had!' That puts a smile on my face." - Jonny Spector

Meredith Hester, Chef and First Mate

Meredith has years of culinary experience on private and charter yachts, with gourmet specialties in Caribbean, American, and Italian cuisine. Have a picnic lunch on the beach, lounge with a frozen cocktail in the cockpit as you watch the sun sink to orange, and then dive into a luscious dinner served in the salon. The perfect ending to a perfect day - and Meredith makes it all happen.

Meredith is from the Midwest: she grew up in Missouri and has a bachelor's degree in Communications Studies from Kansas University. Interestingly, prior to becoming a chef, she obtained a Securities Exchange License Series Seven, working for three years with Morgan Stanley out of Santa Ana, California. Since 2003, Meredith has followed her passion for the open seas, entertaining, and cuisine.
