Captain Brandon
Captain Brandon hails from the desert oasis of Saint George, Utah, near the breathtaking landscapes of Zion National Park, but he’s traded the towering red rock cliffs for the endless allure of ocean breezes. A lifelong boater with a deep passion for the sea, Brandon is now the seasoned captain of Sommer, a stunning Leopard 50 sailing catamaran. With his expertise and love for adventure, he’s ready to transform your dream of a Virgin Islands charter into a life-changing journey - where every sail invites freedom, every horizon sparks wonder, and each day becomes an unforgettable adventure on the open water.
From cruising the crystal-clear waters of the Virgin Islands to sharing breathtaking Caribbean sunsets, Brandon’s passion for adventure, nature, and hospitality truly shines. With extensive experience sailing to 14 countries - covering the entire East Coast of the U.S. from Northern Maine to the Florida Keys, as well as Washington State up to Alaska and throughout most of the Caribbean - he invites you to discover hidden bays, pristine beaches, and the vibrant life beneath the waves.
Safety is always his top priority, but fun and exploration are never far behind! Whether it´s snorkeling with sea life, exploring the sights from a paddleboard, swimming and hiking in the Baths on Virgin Gorda, or enjoying sundowners at serene locations, Captain Brandon is ready to make your luxury charter unforgettable. You might even catch him sharing a story or two at the helm as you island hop in the VI!
Chef Aiesha Shachove
Chef Aiesha was born and raised in the beautiful St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. She is a proud mother of two sons, JahFari (16) and Jabahri (19). Cooking has always been Aiesha´s greatest passion. In 1998, she left St. Thomas to further her education, but as the years passed, she felt a deep, undeniable pull to return to her roots and pursue her true love for cooking. In 2018, she made the decision to move back home - a choice she considers the best she’s ever made.
Since her return, Aiesha has successfully launched her own business as a private chef, offering her culinary expertise to luxurious villas and yachts across the islands. Growing up in the Virgin Islands, the ocean was always a significant part of her life. Her father would often take her sailing through the many islands surrounding St. Thomas and the British Virgin Islands, instilling in her a lifelong love for the sea. Friends and family affectionately refer to her as a ´mermaid´ because of this connection to the ocean.
For Aiesha, combining her two greatest passions - cooking and the sea - has been nothing short of a dream come true. She believes wholeheartedly that when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.
