Dick Stuart, Captain:
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 Richards, chef and steward:
A former ER and Critical Care RN, Kim’s love for sailing began in 2012, the first time she set foot on a catamaran in the BVI. She has been “hooked” ever since! After completed 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 and sharing the magical experience of sailing the beautiful Caribbean waters!
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.
Kim exudes a tranquility to the guests that is based on her lifelong practice of yoga and meditation, allowing everyone the opportunity to absorb the soothing nature of the sea. Come along as she paddle boards to the shore for a yoga on the beach session!

Reviews
For the first time in my life I was in heaven for a week!
The warm breezes of the Caribbean, the teal blue water, the beautiful sunsets and snorkeling were only a mere mention compared to the amazing attention we received from Adrien our captain and our chef Christina.
From the safety to the gourmet meals, this team surpassed even my wildest expectations. I have never felt so cared in all of our travels.
The presentation of the food was incredible. Every detail was attended to and we had to beg to stop feeding us so much. But that’s not what was most incredible. Christina Merianos hit every meal out of the ball park with flavor, wine parings and selections that only added to our enjoyment each and every day. Her commitment to service was continually present every single day and she didn’t skip a beat. By the time we left we felt like family… no we were family.
Adrien as a captain was equally amazing. His attention to the positions of the boat and our personal safety was held in the highest esteem every single day. It was over the top fun to sail sitting on the trampoline!
Adrien was flexible and yet instructive on where we stayed and how we experienced each over night. Not once was I concerned over any issue being my first sail trip.
He watched over us at every turn, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming and getting into that bouncy dingy!
If we sail again, which I hope we can, I can only pray we get this amazing team each time.
With great appreciation;
Kristin and Bob
Christina was instrumental in ensuring everything went smoothly, from pre-trip with meal and itinerary planning, through the trip in its entirety. She ensured we had everything we needed.
She was so great with our kids. Our meals were amazing, both parent and kid approved !
I highly recommend Deep Blue and their crew!
