  • Captain Dick Stuart, a mechanical engineer by training, enjoyed a successful career in construction sales management. He started his sailing career at the early age of 10 in an El Toro on Lafayette Reservoir in Northern California. Growing up, much of his time was spent sailing on San Francisco Bay and extensively bareboat chartering throughout the Caribbean.

    He holds a 100 TON MASTERS WITH SAILING ENDORSEMENT, an FCC Marine Radio Operators Certification and a Dive Master Certification.

    Captain Dick has an excellent reputation as “the troubleshooting ninja”, and uses his knowledge of mechanical systems to anticipate all the “what ifs.” Safety is Captain Dick’s priority for his guests, but FUN is his second! An adventure seeker and water lover, he moved to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico in 2017 and loves sailing the beautiful aquamarine waters and island hopping. Captain Dick welcomes all guests with his famous Captain’s Cocktails nightly! He is an avid cribbage player and will challenge the best!

  • Kim’s love for sailing began in 2012 when she first experienced a catamaran in the BVI. After completing sailing classes in Colorado and California, Kim captained several catamarans in Mexico and the Caribbean. She delights in creating the ultimate self-care venue for guests as the First Mate and Chef of Deep Blue!

    Her background as an entrepreneurial healthcare consultant as well as a former ER and Critical Care RN gives her a diverse set of skills to adapt and customize your experience.

    An avid traveler, Kim has a great sense of adventure. Her adventures have taken her bungee jumping in New Zealand, skiing in the European Alps, fly fishing in Montana and Utah, volunteering as a nurse in Ethiopia and Uganda, hiking in Patagonia, and Class V white water rafting in Colorado. A fitness and yoga instructor for over 30 years, she lives an active lifestyle in whatever location she may be. From her attention to detail to her carefully crafted meals and cocktails, Kim ensures your vacation far exceeds your expectations!

  • Dick & Kim, Not sure where we start. Of all Catamaran trips we have done, this is by far the best one. You both fit in so well with our group, like family. I am already sad that in 24 hours we will be leaving the boat. The owner is extremely lucky to have 2 incredible people who are so passionate and caring! We will be looking to book again. I'm not saying goodby but "sea" you again.
