Crew Information
Captain: Rj Lipert
RJ AND LESLIE
Leslie has a zest for life and loves meeting new people. She believes that strangers are just friends that she hasn't met yet. She enjoys exercising, telling stories, traveling and planning the next adventure.
Leslie was born in Nebraska, grew up in Virginia and returned home to "The Good Life". This is where she met her husband R.J., at a Nebraska Football tailgate. Their first adventure together was to the British Virgin Islands where they fell in love with each other and the boating life.
Her real calling was to be a rockstar but instead she became a nurse :). Leslie worked in surgery, trauma and then as an Hematology/Oncology nurse. More recently, she has joined R.J. in their business doing occupational nursing and safety training.
She is considered by many, as a rainmaker. She can take an idea and run with it.
She enjoys cooking for friends and family. She has taken the Rouxbe Culinary course, studied in Thailand and attended Yacht Chef training in London.
Leslie and RJ have two children, and one amazing grandchild.
R.J.'s purpose is to have fun and live a life of adventure with passion while inspiring others. He grew up in Lincoln, NE and obtained a BS degree from Oklahoma State University and now owns a business in his hometown.
He is often quoted as saying "we only live once, let's do it right". He loves a new adventure and really is a genuinely nice human. He is always smiling and willing to lend a helping hand, support, or a compliment. Leslie has often been asked if RJ really is as nice as he seems and the answer is undeniably, Yes! He really is.
R.J. enjoys outdoor activities, investing, real estate, golf and snow skiing.
Sailing and boating have been a big part of R.J.'s life as he has lived on a lake for the last 22 years. With a motorboat and sailboat in the backyard, it has been a lifestyle rather than just a hobby.
RJ and Leslie have shared many adventures over the years including fun trips like the Oktoberfest in Munich, Songkran in Thailand and the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota. They too are very involved in multiple ongoing fundraisers and philanthropic activities.
Their boat BelieveN came from such travels. Her red “N” pays homage to their Nebraska roots. They named her BelieveN, as a reminder to Believe in yourself. Pursue your dreams. Know that you are worth it. Take the leap. Sing the song. Make friends. Live a life – don’t just live. And whatever else you put your mind to, just don’t stop BelieveN
Please come on down and experience the life in this magical part of the world with us!

Reviews
We were cautious about what "living on a boat" would be like. You have easily converted us! Our girls really enjoyed the local beaches, sights and of course all the Instagram opportunities.
We appreciated the level of genuine mid-western hospitality and the care of our family. We've traveled a lot as a family and this trip and your approach to it all has made this a top experience for us an done we truly want to do again. Whether it's the Virgin Islands, Greece or some other outpost we look forward to reconnecting soon. Wishing you all a great and safe sailing season.
JJ, Emery, Sophie and Tom
From the beautiful beaches, to the tours around town, to snorkeling....and the AMAZING meals..it was one of our best adventures. Safe travels to your future destinations and hope to see you both again in the future!
So many firsts for us - eat and sleep on a boat and spending happy hour floating endlessly in the sea. perfect combo of activities (Bubbly pool, snorkeling, sugar cane history, a few drinks ashore and the Piece-De-Resistance: Sandy Spit) balanced by chill time.
Service was amazing at all times and beyond all expectation and the food OMG, the FOOD! Healthy, tasty, lots of TLC in every bite.
Leslie nailed it with wonderful flavor profiles, local seafood and fresh fruit. The cocktail captain mixed a mean mango margarita with fresh mango a la Leslie.
Trip of a Lifetime!
A million thank you's!
We are already planning our return!!
Sending love and safe travels.
RJ's emphasis on safety, his stories of the sea, sharing of knowledge on how everything on the boat works will be remembered forever.
From the table decorations to each and every quality meal, Leslie hit a grand slam with every meal. I would not be able to come up with one suggestion to make the trip better. The laughter, conversation and experiences and good natured fun will be remembered forever as long as I take my memory pills!
Thanks to RJ and Leslie.
Your knowledge and professionalism of the boating world and your slice of paradise were so amazing to experience.
And the meals..... My Goodness! The Meals! Dining at the very finest.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.
We experienced beautiful sunsets, gourmet meals, snorkeling excursions, guided hikes, serene beach days and more. We honestly do not have any negative feedback and would highly recommend BelieveN to anyone looking to have an unforgettable experience in the Virgin Islands!
The food was spectacular, and we both really enjoyed snorkeling each day. This was by far our favorite trip we've ever taken. We can't wait to talk our friends and family into coming back with us.... or maybe just us :)
We're looking forward to jumping off Willy T's again and having your perfected Lime in Da Coconut cheescake.
Until next time!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
You are masters of sailing and make everything you do seem effortless. Leslie, your meals were sooooo good!
We love everything about how you have become such a big part of our annual trip with dear friends, and can't thank you enough!
See you in 2025!!!
I will not forget the beautiful waters, the calm of the boat and your kindness.
We hope to see you both on another beautiful trip in the future.
All the best to you both
You guys provided memorable ones!
RJ and Leslie are now formally part of the Hegan/Johnston crew
We felt very pampered and the food was spectacular!
It was a pleasure to finally get to meet you both and have now made life-long friends.
Thanks also for making Sonya's birthday so special and letting us host the band on our last day. A special thanks to Leslie to allow our "eggplant" flag to fly on the boat to celebrate the Chiefs Super Bowl win!
You both are the best and we will be back!
Can't wait to come back.
Meeting all of your friends and having the boat party was great.
Loved the band and the unicorn :).
I don't have the words ro describe the great time we had!
The food was amazing!. We can be picky and Leslie you knocked it out of the park for us - even making impromptu Alex's favorite dip!
by the end of the week it feels like we're on vacation with good friends and we have truly enjoyed you both so much this week.
We will 100% see you guys again and please come and see us in NC anytime!
#BelieversForLife
We will always treasure these memories - the laughs, the conversations, the food, the drinks, snorkeling, sites and on and on.....
A week ago we were total strangers and now we are friends and that was an unexpected bonus. You two are incredible people and we feel blessed to have met you and to have shared in your dream.
Thank you for making my "Birthday Float' so special....it was a dream come true and completely unforgettable.
You are about to take me off kicking and screaming and ugly crying when we say goodbye....but we will be back! We can't wait to do this again with you.
In summary, a great week, with great crew and amazing sites!
You will remain in our hearts forever!
You both have given us a trip that we will never forget and will talk about for years to come. We will definitely be back to travel with you all again. Your story has been amazing to hear and such an inspiration to follow your dreams. We look forward to our next trip experiencing the beautiful USVI. You have hooked us on the yachting vacation!
Leslie, the food was absolutely delicious. It was beautiful to watch you both work with each other. We felt so taken care of, you were always asking if we needed anything. You both are absolutely a pleasure!
Thank you.
Thank you for giving us a delightful and unforgettable week in the USVI.
Both RJ and Leslie have been the most gracious crew we could ask for and hope to bring our kids back to join us for another trip.
Every activity was a blast from chillin' on the boat, to hikes, to going to dinner, to snorkeling - all of it ...super! I absolutely can't wait to come back SOON
Thank you for having us.
