Captain Jabez Strauss -

Raised on his parent’s 47’ sailboat, sailing around the world, Jabez makes being on the water feel like home. His American and South African heritage, coupled with his ability to absorb the cultures of the places he’s traveled to, allows Jabez to have a very unique perspective.
Jabez has had a vibrant mix of experiences; working as a ski technician in Aspen, doing the dirty work at construction sites, and farming on an island in the Azores, to name a few. His infectious curiosity and casual confidence motivated him to secure his captain’s license at an early age of 20.
Jabez’s secret talent is being able to throw together a mouth-watering meal as easy as dropping anchor. From Indian curries, to incredible paella, his love for food keeps him experimenting in the kitchen.
His friends will tell you that Jabez has some of the most interesting stories you’ll hear, and you may find yourself lost in conversation with him.
Jabez continues to learn from the world by traveling and collecting new stories, which has brought him to the Caribbean.

Chef Mindy -

Raised in the historic coastal town of Charleston, South Carolina. Mindy grew up with a love and passion for all things ocean related! Her hometown is full of southern hospitality, art, history and FOOD! She worked in hospitality tourism on Kiawah and Seabrook Islands for 5 years. Mindy studied Biology from the College of Charleston and received her bachelor’s of Science Diploma in 2015 . She pursued biomedical laboratory research after graduation for 3 years. Desiring a salty life and ready to get a tan after years under fluorescent lights, she bought a boat and taught herself how to sail. She has since sailed as a first mate through the Bahamas, Caribbean Sea, San Blas Islands and has crossed the Panama Canal. Desiring a life at sea, she went to Sea School in 2019 for an STCW. She has worked as a Yacht Chef for over 4 years and was trained by Michelin Star Chefs at Ashburton Culinary Academy in the UK in 2021. Mindy has a gentle southern charm that allows you to relax, laugh, be close to nature and feel right at home with a full belly and a refreshing cocktail in hand. She loves to add that extra touch to make sure families and friends onboard are making memories that last a lifetime! She is also working towards a Captains License.
