Katie's menu we will take you on an adventure of the senses, discover the very best of the West Indies seasoned with her Mediterranean favorites; with a few surprises added for good measure! Their extensive local knowledge will take you off the beaten track, showing you the very best of The Virgin Islands, the home of 'Nature's Little Secrets'.

Both water sports enthusiasts, Chris is an accomplished free diver and has a love for water skiing, he will be first to offer up a lesson upon request! Katie is happiest cruising the Islands via paddle board. They are a calm duo and pride themselves on a laid back, unflappable natures. Both quality trained, they know that no detail is too small and no single guest is the same. Their maritime careers began in flotilla sailing, where they provided 'once in a lifetime' vacations for their guests. They've traveled from Turkey and Greece across to the Caribbean waters. From this they gained invaluable experience, to always be forward thinking, approach all aspects of the job with a positive attitude, politeness and sometimes a little bit of humor!
