Chillin Hut Crew Profile
Captain
First Mate / Chef
Captain Luke
At the helm for over 13 years in luxury yachting, my focus is simple: creating a safe, relaxed, and unforgettable experience on the water. I bring a calm, steady hand and a positive attitude to every charter, ensuring the crew operates like a well-oiled machine and guests feel completely at ease. As a certified PADI Rescue Diver, I love sharing my passion for water sports with guests and making sure everyone has a blast on the water. One of my favorite personal touches is taking my drone up to film your sailing action and island stops, creating lasting video memories for you to take home.
Chef Kristen
There is a favorite film quote of mine that perfectly sums up my approach to hosting: “Anticipate the guest´s needs before the needs are needed.”
I take immense pride in noticing the small details that transform an ordinary trip into something extraordinary. With a background that spans deck duties, culinary creation in the galley, and overall charter management, I thrive on delivering an individualized, effortless experience for every guest who steps aboard. Whether crafting memorable meals or ensuring smooth days on the water, my goal is to make you feel completely taken care of from start to finish.

Chillin Hut Guest Reviews
Truly memorable trip!
Luke & Kristen,
Thank you for a truly memorable trip. Your attention to detail and level of service were simply amazing. The itinerary you put together for us was incredible! A fantastic first sailboat charter and trip through the BVIs. We ´ll be back! Kristen, your food was fantastic. Fresh and tasty every single meal! You are a genius in the kitchen and everything else you did, didn´t go unnoticed. Luke, you are a great captain! We felt like we were in great hands all
week. Your table setting and bar tending skills were also great! Can´t wait to get back to Peter Island, Cooper Island, The Baths, Bitter End, Anegada, Cane Bay, Jost, and Norman Island!
Doug & Tracy Backus Cincinnati, OH!
Fantastic week!
Kristen & Luke – Thank you for a fantastic week sailing about the BVI! Including making so many decisions for us.
☺ Every meal was fabulous (cookbook?). You both went above & beyond our expectations of/for this very special trip for us! Everyday felt so special as we celebrated our friendship. It´s clear that you love what you do and that translates as an exceptional trip for all aboard. Thank you for answering all of our questions, we´ve learned so much. We couldn´t have asked for a better trip and are thankful at least one Luke on board could captain our ship!
Best, –Steph, Soph, Luke, Nithya & Michael
Spectacular Adventure!
Kristen & Luke! 2/2026 It´s hard to put into words how spectacular you made this adventure for us. We felt comfortable, safe & welcome from the moment we met you in person (and online). Your floating home became our home for the week! Each & every detail was well thought out & made us feel special.
Luke – your calm demeanor, knowledge & care for our safety was everything we could have asked for. And your sense of humor & mixology prowess never failed to impress!
Kristen – Your mid-western hospitality, chef skills, kindness and creativity blew us away! At every turn.
Over the top
L&K: You have introduced us to a level of service&dining that we have never experienced! Over the top in every aspect. Hope to travel with you again.

Incredible vacation that I will never forget.
Dear Luke & Kristen, Thank you so much for this incredible vacation that I will never forget. You guys always make sure that we had everything we needed and I am very grateful. Luke, I loved it when you took us out on the dinghy and played the music really loud. And Kristen, your meals were incredible! The whole trip after I ate your first meal I was looking forward to the food. You made me feel right at home when we were laughing together. Have a wonderful New Year and Merry Christmas
-Nina
Thank you both so much for everything you did to make this trip fun, relaxing, and memorable. The food was delicious, I loved chatting with you guys, the dinghy joyrides and tubing was amazing. Thank you for the local knowledge on snorkel spots and rich people gossip. I really, really enjoyed this trip, and a large part of that was your kindness and hospitality. Thank you and Happy Holidays! ☺

Raul was the best skipper ever. Super fun, responsible and ensured that we have a great time.
Guest Review from Previous Yacht
Our skipper was exceptional! He went above and beyond to make sure my crew and I had a good time. I would recommend our skipper to any group of friends.
Guest Review from Previous Yacht
She made our experience truly five stars. Her food was stellar and presentation was top tier.
Every dish was somehow even better than the last. She also made sure our on and off boat time was well planned so we could enjoy every moment and she brought the best energy all week.

Guest Review from Previous Yacht
He was the best of the best, always willing to help and made sure we were having a great time. He was able to be himself and I believe that is what it is all about.
Guest Review from Previous Yacht
AMAZING Raul was the best more than just a skipper he became our friend. Would recommend to everyone.
