Crew Information

Captain: Matt Neidlinger

Captain Matt Neidlinger
Hello, my name is Matt. I hope I’ll have a chance to meet you soon, but first, let me tell you about myself.
I grew up boating, water-skiing, and fishing on the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. Both of my parents loved the water and they taught me to love and respect the it at an early age.
In 2005, I took a charter vacation in the BVI, and that was all it took. I instantly knew that I wanted to share the beauty of the Caribbean with as many people as possible. One year later, I moved to the islands to start a career as mate aboard a charter catamaran.
17 years later, I still love what I do. I’m blessed to have chartered all over the Bahamas and eastern Caribbean, and I hope that I can help you create your perfect charter vacation aboard the beautiful Royal Cape catamaran, Manna. Whether its SCUBA diving, kayaking, heading out on a paddle board, snorkeling or hiking, I’m happy to help you explore as much or just help you relax on board.
I hold a 200ton US Coast Guard License, I’m an ASA Sailing Instructor and am a PADI Divemaster. I look forward to hosting you.

Chef Kari Compson
After more than two decades in corporate America, I quit and went sailing. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to take a charter on a catamaran to the Grenadines. Once I had that amazing experience, I knew I needed to find a way to get into the industry. I got my STCW and jumped right into the yachting world. Since then, I have crewed in the Grenadines, Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas.
My first chef position was as a crew chef on a large motor yacht. That was a great experience, but I realized I wanted to be on smaller boats to fulfill my passion for making sure all guests had an amazing experience and wanted to be able to express my culinary talent directly to the guests on charter.
My cooking reflects my adventurous spirit and love for life on the water, using only the freshest and most wholesome ingredients. I love to incorporate local cuisine into my meals and pay close attention to the preferences of my guests. I have a food allergy, so I understand how important it is to work with my guest’s specific preferences while creating a charter menu. I believe that cooking is all about sharing and being able to share unique and tasty dishes with my guests and make their vacation unforgettable!
When I am not in the galley, I like to snorkel, hike, paddle board and swim in the beautiful waters. I can’t wait to meet you and share those amazing experiences!

I hope I’ll have a chance to meet you soon, but first, let me tell you about myself. I grew up boating, water-skiing, and fishing on the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. Both of my parents loved the water and they taught me to love and respect the it at an early age. In 2005, I took a charter vacation in the BVI, and that was all it took. I instantly knew that I wanted to share the beauty of the Caribbean with as many people as possible. One year later, I moved to the islands to start a career as mate aboard a charter catamaran. 17 years later, I still love what I do. I’m blessed to have chartered all over the Bahamas and eastern Caribbean, and I hope that I can help you create your perfect charter vacation aboard the beautiful Royal Cape catamaran, Manna. Whether its SCUBA diving, kayaking, heading out on a paddle board, snorkeling or hiking, I’m happy to help you explore as much or just help you relax on board. I hold a 200ton US Coast Guard License, I’m an ASA Sailing Instructor and am a PADI Divemaster. I look forward to hosting you. Chef Kari Compson After more than two decades in corporate America, I quit and went sailing. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to take a charter on a catamaran to the Grenadines. Once I had that amazing experience, I knew I needed to find a way to get into the industry. I got my STCW and jumped right into the yachting world. Since then, I have crewed in the Grenadines, Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. My first chef position was as a crew chef on a large motor yacht. That was a great experience, but I realized I wanted to be on smaller boats to fulfill my passion for making sure all guests had an amazing experience and wanted to be able to express my culinary talent directly to the guests on charter. My cooking reflects my adventurous spirit and love for life on the water, using only the freshest and most wholesome ingredients. I love to incorporate local cuisine into my meals and pay close attention to the preferences of my guests. I have a food allergy, so I understand how important it is to work with my guest’s specific preferences while creating a charter menu. I believe that cooking is all about sharing and being able to share unique and tasty dishes with my guests and make their vacation unforgettable! When I am not in the galley, I like to snorkel, hike, paddle board and swim in the beautiful waters. I can’t wait to meet you and share those amazing experiences!

This trip is the best trip I have ever been on and I am always gonna remember to keep my elbows off the table. Hound-dog-ee! Stanley The past week has been amazing with you guys, not only was the food the best I ever had, but all the fun activities were awesome. I want to say it in Hebrew: תודה רבה לך Todah Rabah. Thank you so much! Simon You knocked it out of the park for us, in every way possible. The food was outstanding both in preparation and presentation. You mastered a whole set of dietary rules and accommodated us as if it was no big deal, but we know it was. You were amazing with our grandkids, engaging each and providing fun and laughs for all. This was a trip of a lifetime. Forever grateful! There are no words to adequately convey, as we have tried, how appreciative we are for all you did to make our charter as wonderful and memorable as it was for us and our grandkids. You both worked so hard to understand and accommodate our special dietary needs and equally hard to prepare and present meals that were delicious and beautiful to look at. And you were just as determined to provide an itinerary and activities that were perfect for us. Our grandkids will remember this trip for the rest of their lives. We have you to thank for that. We will forever be grateful!

Can’t thank you enough! Taylor Cheers to the best way to celebrate a 40th birthday with the family. Thank you for making this sailing trip so special for my family. All of the beaches and bays we visited were great, with lots of snorkeling/scuba diving, swimming and water activities for Taylor and Payton.

From the very first time they contacted us to even now, we still keep in touch even though our charter has ended. They were amazing! Everything Lu cooked and Allen grilled was perfect! They are so much fun to do things with and hang out with. They absolutely feel like family!! We could not have asked for any better experience and crew to spend our vacation with. When we book again, we will be booking with Manna and Lu and Allen for sure!! Everything was just perfect and amazing and they are just the best people to charter with and the boat was great, clean and perfect for our family and everything we wanted to do. The food was awesome, oh my goodness. Lu is such an amazing cook. Everything was outstanding. Allen grilled, and he did that to perfection. The presentation was always gorgeous and Lu always presented what we were having. Manna was seriously perfect. They had everything you could have wanted to do with water sports and the space was great!! The cabins were comfortable and super clean (again I truly am unbelievably picky - as in I typically pack my own sheets in vacations). Our family was more than comfortable and everything was actually spotless and clean. The crew, I really can’t say enough good things. The food, the conversation, the plans and change of plans on things to do and see. Allen was amazing at teaching us how to scuba dive and Lu having her go pro was awesome for our dives that followed. We played cards at night or just hung out and talked. We wanted them to come with us to the Baths and our dinner at Saba Rock. They became our friends and we’re just so fun and easy to be around. We just wouldn’t sail with anyone else now that we’ve met them and been on their charter. Words can not express this past week and spending it with you all. From the minute we met and set foot on Manna until the "see you next time", everything has bee the best of the best. Lu, your cooking is absolutely outstanding and Allen, you are the best grill master! Thank you for hanging out with us and being a part of every experience we have had. I would not have wanted it any other way. Now you are stuck with us. Karrie This amazing week included adding both of you to our family. The BVI is known as "Nature's Little Secret" and Manna is part of that secret. I have wanted to share this experience as a family and you both made this wish all I would want it to be. From teaching the family to dive, how to play 7's and a 5 star dive experience. Peace, Love and Sandy Feet. Tim This spring break trip with my family has been one of our best, due to the amazing hospitality extended by the 2 of you. You completely exceeded our expectations and truly made us feel like part of the family. From learning to scuba dive, to the gourmet meals you made, Manna fell like home. The memories we have made this week will last forever and I hope to be searching for sea turtles again with you soon. Brynn I have had a great time this week. I have really enjoyed everything that we have done. I mostly enjoyed scuba diving and you're teaching it to us. It was a great experience. The food was to die for. It was amazing. I also enjoyed playing 7's every night. In all, it was a great trip and an amazing experience. Bryce This week has been amazing and the food even better. I really appreciated the hospitality towards me and making me feel welcome. During the week, I have had a great time bonding with you all and our family. Some of the best parts were the Baths, Scuba, water sports and 7's. My favorite meal was the Mahi Mahi and blue rice.I truly felt I was in a 3rd home and very taken care of.

Wayne and Lu were the best! Thanks for a great adventure. Ronnie What an unbelievable adventure. Water has never been a sport that we have embraced.

Discover scuba challenged me to overcome fears and I'm a better person for completing the adventure. The hospitality was genuine and easy going.

And the answer to that is a simple one no”. The crew of Manna goes above and beyond to exceed all expectations the only disappointment is the day we have to stay, see you later we don't say goodbye, We say see you later because we will see the crew of Manna the next time we sail with them.

From the moment of flexibility surrounding COVID and then the hurricane. Our smiles began the moment Captain Wayne saw our luggage, followed by a welcome aboard by co-captain Emily. Your laughter and warmth made us feel at ease and at home on the seas. Your laughter was contagious. Your dive instruction led us to new adventures below, your food preparation and dining lead our pallets and bellies embracing the goodness, your catamaran made us live the dream, and your remarkable history and knowledge lead our ears to listen. Although the initial plan was to be a different celebration for my 50th God laughs when we plan. Without a doubt, my week was filled surrounded by our daughters, family, and friends. A time of healing with new beginnings. As I leave a piece of myself in the USVI I am brace a new found me at 50. Be still and know I am God Psalms 46:10. People come into our lives for unknown reasons only to stay a moment or a lifetime. I memories last a lifetime and a wise man once told me not to live and what if.

Until then guardian angels, star salon and compass laid your way. ~Jeanie We had a wonderful time here in the VI even with Covid.

Thank you for a memorable time. ~J & Adam Thank you so much for an incredible journey around the US via scuba diving is an experience I will never forget and even after seeing the shark, will do it again.

Wayne & Emily can take credit for 99% of the greatest vacation we’ve had (the weather and beautiful blue water get 1%). Great food, great stories and vast knowledge of the area. If only the trip could have been more than a week. Wayne & Emily are the salt of the sea! Wendy & Bill Nergard-St. Michael, MN I had a wonderful time aboard Manna. Wayne and Emily are friendly, good-humored, and lots of fun. I’d think they were pirates in a past life except that they are charitable and loved by all of the locals. The food was excellent and I ate too much every day. I especially loved scuba-diving, riding the sub-wing, and the pirate show. There was never a dull moment. I hope to make it back someday. Thanks for a fantastic trip! Crystal Weech-Crystal, MN We had a great time with Wayne and Emily on Manna! They did an excellent job of taking us around to a lot of great spots in the Virgin Islands. They were welcoming and fun hosts. We had a ton of activities to keep us constantly entertained. The food and rooms were perfect! We would definitely book another trip on Manna. Dan and Heather, Reno, NV The best trip ever! Two years ago we chartered Manna for our first ever yacht trip and loved every second of it. We loved it so much, in fact, that we booked it again this year.True to form, Wayne and Emily produced the best vacation ever. Again. We snorkeled, scuba dove, paddle boarded, sub-winged, kayaked, fished, and drank plenty of cocktails. We covered as much of the Virgin Islands as possible in a weeks time, and never once felt hurried, or anything but relaxed. Emily provided great meals everyday, and Wayne never said no to a request. From the minute we stepped on board we felt like old friends with our crew. The pirate show at Leverick Bay was again our highlight of the trip, so much fun! I would like to thank Wayne and Emily for being such gracious hosts and treating us as family. I give Manna my highest recommendation to anyone who wants to relax and feel like they are not only a guest, but a part of the crew. Raise a toast to Manna, she's my lady of the sea.

Kathy Toasts for Captains cocktail: Somewhere In the BVI’s a sailing vessels floating She rocks and rolls and taps and groans to give them all a warning. The 9 on board ignore her talk they know of no foreboding, but when the full moon clears the ridge, they will all will be transforming into frothing, drooling beasts of the darkest pirate tales and only if they drink rum all night Will they live to tell their tale. In the heart of the Virgin Islands there's a captain known to all His specialty is running relief supplies to all. Hurricanes can not beat him all through the night he sails Manna the far yacht carries him while on the radio Waylon wails. Then when the skies clear up and turn blue and the sea calms to turquoise green. He carries with delight his passengers to Foxy's and Michael beans. Virgin Gorda , JVD , Tortola and St. John too. The rum just keeps on flowing and when we leave we will leave a tear or two. Until then we sail, snorkel, dive and have fun, until we part , we toast and of course drink more rum.";s:12:"yachtGC115P1";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests9669-1.jpg";s:12:"yachtGC115P2";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests9669-2.jpg";s:12:"yachtGC115P3";s:83:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht4520/4520guests9669-3.jpg";s:15:"yachtGC116Title";s:34:"February 19-26, 2018 Seeds of Hope";s:10:"yachtGC116";s:4204:"The past 6 days have been amazing, beautiful and breathtaking. I cant begin to put into words the week I’ve had with 7 other wonderful friends. Wayne and Emily are amazing hosts . There was never a dull moment. Emily’s cooking was out of this world. Every meal was better than the last and every meal was delicious. Wayne was the consummate skipper. Lots of fun stories and his care for us was evident. Dancing at Foxy's was so fun. Thank you Manna for making this once in a lifetime trip the most memorable ever!! Dana This trip has been the most amazing Time of my life! There have been so many things that have made this trip memorable, swimming with turtles, paddle boarding in the sunset , and the clearest blue water I've ever seen. I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to go on a trip like this . I could've never dreamed it up to be this incredible. But overall , over everything we got to experience Emily and Capt. Wayne have definitely been my favorite part of the whole experience. They make an amazing team and they did so much for us daily, always making sure we have what we need and that we were having fun. Emily is so sweet and caring and her cooking is so heavenly. I never felt so much love through food. She loves it when you help her serve and plate desert and she is seriously considering me to be her sous chef! I think I made it. She's also very funny, funnier than Capt. Wayne. ha ha! Whoever gets on this boat, know that when you meet Emily you will be taken care of and you will have all you need and an amazing woman to take care of you. And Capt.. Wayne, well he's memorable alright. Everything he does to make you laugh and have a good time. Both of them together have never been such a treasure towards us. We feel so cared for and loved through every Little thing on this boat . I’m so happy to call them friends. Amy Cannot even begin to express how I feel and how healing this trip has been for Chris and I. I feel so loved by God that he amazed this incredible gift for us. You're so generous and every little tiny thing has been Beyond our wildest dreams. The food has been so good, actually I’ve probably never had a week of such incredible food. You both have such humble and beautiful hearts. Praying God will continue to richly bless you with adventures and love because of all that you do for others. Penny and Chris The trip of a lifetime!

The baths were awesome, and the coves were always clear. Wayne and Emily were really nice. They told us funny stories and pulled us behind the dinghy whenever we wanted. Wake boarding rafting and sub winging we're some of the best experiences ever. The addition of George made it so much better. Sean This trip was very fun. The food was so good.

We love exploring new areas with our guys and are blessed to have you as our guides and friends. Our entire family are taking many wonderful memories, new accomplishments ( learning to water ski, wakeboard and subwing) and seeing a new part of the world in the most unique way possible. I could never imagine spending days on private beaches (the most beautiful blues and clearest water I have ever seen) while exploring so many islands. I will cherish stargazing, learning new games, your hospitality and yummy meals. Thank you for a spectacular adventure. Best wishes with Manna for Missionaries! Elaine and GT I liked playing with George and subwinging. I liked everything we did. Harrison 9 yrs I loved the water sports and tubing. I also loved George, snorkeling and subwinging. Truman 12 yrs I loved diving the Kodiak Queen and the Chimney. Water skiing was fun , too! Grant 16 yrs I loved diving the Wreck of the Rhone and the Kodiak Queen. It was fun tubing and waterskiing. Carter 14 yrs After Charter Follow up review- How did you enjoy your cruising vacation? Best vacation we’ve ever taken as a family How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable? Wayne and Emily were awesome. Very patient with the kids, knowledgeable about the area, fun tour guides and very welcoming hosts. George the dog was fun to have on board as well! Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets? Great meals. With picky eaters we can be a challenge but Emily knew that some of us didn’t eat seafood while others love it. She always had options for us. I think most people want more gourmet meals but with kids, she adapted nicely and had some homestyle dinners that the kids loved (spaghetti, pot roast, etc.) How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Was the cockpit comfortable? Was there enough shade? I was worried that our family of 6 would get sick of spending so much time in close quarters but there was plenty of space for each of us. Outdoors at the front and back, the indoor sitting area and our cabins gave us plenty of space for alone time or hanging out with eachother. Very clean boat, Emily did a great job keeping it that way. What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? With 4 kids, I was concerned that they’d each have plenty to do. Lots of toys on the boat. The dinghy was strong enough to pull water skis, wake boards and tubes so the kids were never lacking. Wayne was always willing to take it out and entertain the guys. Wayne was a great divemaster as well. We went on 8 dives over the 11 days of our trip. He knew of some great spots that weren’t crowded where the non divers could snorkel above us so they didn’t feel left out. How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation? I’m glad we did 10 days. 7 would have felt rushed. We fished for 1 day (we shouldn’t have spent money on fishing licenses).

The girls loved the Subwings. First time waterskiing, up on the first try, incredible! Hiking, paddle boarding with George our constant companion.

Your infectious enthusiasm and flexibility made our trip that more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation on board manna.

We’ve done this trip a few times and I’d say it takes a lot to impress us but we were more than impressed with the food, the dives, the sailing, and the water sports! You were always ready to assist us with everything we needed and wanted. Nico and Elyse~ Thank you for the amazing adventure! We had such a great time!

At the rain's edge, a sail. Slowly the sail will lose sight of islands; into a mist will go the belief of harbors of an entire race. The ten-years war is finished. Helen's hair, a gray cloud. Troy, a white ashpit by the drizzling sea. The drizzle tightens like the strings of a harp. A man with clouded eyes picks up the rain and plucks the first line of the Odyssey.

Pat and Julie~ Email received a few weeks later; Hello Emily and Wayne, I just wanted to thank you once again for taking us into your home and making us feel so welcome. This was a vacation I had been dreaming about for years and I had extremely high expectations, and you far exceeded them. I am attaching some music (Meat & Taters) for your listening pleasure. The first song is Caribbean Love. It was the first song I wrote that had any Caribbean flair. The second is called heaven and it is basically a dream I had of taking a boat through the Caribbean, that incidentally, you helped come true. Thanks again, Dave~ Just a note to say thanks again for our best vacation ever. We have only been home a few days and hated to put on “real” clothes for work on Monday. You run a terrific business. We have always talked about moving to the Caribbean some day after our moms no longer need us. After our visit it seems we can make that a reality. We would love to sail Puerto Rico with you sometime. If a short week comes up or you have a last minute opening, Pat and I can usually make a quick trip. We would love for our kids to experience your Manna as well.

Having previously chartered in the BVI many times, we found it fun to explore new locations in the Spanish and USVI. Each day was a new adventure with Captain Wayne giving us several options to choose from to ensure that each of us got to hit our bucket lists for the trip.

We felt safe, well informed at where we were, where we were going and what we were going to do. Best vacation ever! Toy~ You both have been so wonderful to be with. Celebrating Vicki's Birthday has been a blessing! We got to celebrate with 2 heaven sent people! So glad God works in mysterious ways. So glad our paths crossed. This vacation has been so exciting, fun and adventurous! The meals, swimming, snorkeling, games have been so much fun. Thanks for a wonderful vacation and adventure. May God keep you both healthy, happy and safe travels. Hope to share more adventures with you both. Thank you for sharing you home! Keep the Faith. Cheryl~ Thank you guys so much for the hospitality and wonderful experience this week. Emily you have been my "Momma on Manna" and where do I start on the Food! Wayne thanks for your knowledge and patience with us and hopefully you can take my dad up on his offer to be your "Deck Hand". Everything has been great but what made it special were you guys. Hope to see you soon! Nic~ Emily & Wayne, Thank you all so very much for making my mothers 60th birthday one to remember. Also, thank you for not throwing my father overboard. I've never quite had a vacation this relaxing or adventurous. I may be leaving sunburned, scratched, and dehydrated [Symbol], but it was definitely worth it. Thank you for all the memories!

She is a true 53' ocean going vessel customized for the Scuba Diver with water level dive entry and ladder. Once the yacht was launched and sea trails were completed, Manna sailed across the Atlantic to the Caribbean islands. Manna’s team consists of Captain Allen and Chef Lucrecia “Lu” Lawson who are also from Texas. Allen Lawson was raised in a family that loved boating. At a very young age, he found his first love and bought a Cabin Cruiser at the age of 24. For the last decade, Allen has been sailing the seas around the world with friends and family, so you can sail in peace knowing that your Captain is up for any task at hand. Chef Lu started her journey under the guidance of a family of chefs. With a hit of Southern style to her cooking, Chef Lu will keep your palates entertained, and wondering how it is even possible that each meal gets better and better! Wow, my taste buds are getting excited just thinking about it. Together they make the Ultimate team and on the Seas it’s a combo that spares no attention to detail. With Allen’s “ Get’er Done” mentality, fun and lovable personality matched by the attentiveness and out-going personality of Lu, trust us when we say you will wish your trip never ends! If you’re looking for a Charter Group you can trust in delivering the knowledge, skill, safety and expertise, along with the needed excitement to make your vacation special, look no further. The Team with S/V Manna is your ticket. Take a moment and read the reviews and you will find the they can customize any vacation for anybody, including your own group. Simply tell them what you want and sit back and watch the Magic happen. Scuba Dive? Of course. Allen is a PADI Instructor with a strong passion for diving. When divers come onboard, S/V Manna offers "Unlimited" dives to all certified divers. Who does that? Forget about the need to schedule and pay the additional cost for rendezvous diving or dives onboard. It's all part of the package and Allen will dive with you as much as you would like at no extra charge. Now that’s walking the talk. Not a diver? No worries we have plenty for you to do above the water including skiing, wake boarding, towable's, hiking and dancing among a few. Who knows maybe you would like to give diving a try through a discover scuba course or even complete a scuba certification while onboard. There is a charge for the PADI Certification but no charge for your dives. If that is of interest, visit with Allen before your Charter starts and he will be more than happy to put a plan together just for you. Some studies will need to be done online prior to arriving. To wrap this Crew profile up, Allen has an experience level of over 20+ years sailing and learning some of the best locations throughout the Caribbean islands in order to share the Magic with you. So, wait no longer! Come aboard and let’s get this party started! Side Note from the Crew: We strongly believe it’s every individual Choice whether or not to get the vaccination. We do not judge one’s decision, that’s your Choice. For your peace of mind along with the ease of clearing customs in different countries we travel, we the crew decided to go ahead and receive both vaccines for COVID along with the booster shot. Unlike the airlines and regardless of one’s decision, No Mask, No Shoes and No Shirt is no problem on board. Yay! Crew are fully vaccinated for COVID 19 </div> </div> </div> </div>
