Captain: Kelsey Dyer
Captain Kelsey Dyer
Born and raised in New Jersey, Kelsey spent her childhood sailing all over the east coast of the US. After graduating college, she moved to The Bahamas for a marketing stint. It wasn’t long before she realized she wanted to turn her love of sailing into a career, and set off to South Africa to complete her Yachtmaster. Since then, Kelsey has been cruising her way around the world. Her yachting experience ranges from fun flotilla charters in the Mediterranean to enduring transatlantic crossings. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing, sunny vacation or an exciting ocean adventure, she is happy to welcome you aboard!
Chef/Mate Cassie Pepin
Originally from Florida, Cassie grew up on the water. Spending the weekends at the beach, grilling out with friends and family fostered her love for entertaining. Growing up as the oldest of 6, she is overqualified at managing multiple personalities and wrangling a group.
She was the go-to girl for family birthday cakes and over the years has been more than happy to use her family for countless hours of recipe testing. After college, Cassie began working in DC as an events planner, and while her family's love for entertaining helped her excel in this position, she still yearned for something more.
Deciding to take a year off to backpack through Europe, Cassie ended up on a sailboat trip with friends in Croatia and that was it. She knew she had to find a way to stay, and when the staff on board asked if she knew how to cook, she said yes - and never looked back!
During the pandemic when the tourism industry slowed, she took that as an opportunity to advance her career. Cassie took a year off from working on boats to attend culinary school in New York City, landing a job as a line cook at a well known southeast asian restaurant in Chinatown while attending school. Learning from some of the best chefs in the industry and fine tuning her own skills on the line, she gained priceless experience during her year on land.
Sailing & cooking throughout the Mediterranean, French Polynesia, and most recently BVI- Cassie has developed a love for traveling on the water and brings her experiences from around the globe to the guests. The best way to experience a place is through the food, and having traveled to over 40 countries- taking in the cuisine through restaurants, street markets & cooking classes- Cassie brings these experiences right back to her kitchen and your plate. This, alongside her professional restaurant training, is sure to make the food on each charter a highlight of the trip.
She loves to entertain & wether at home with friends or on board with guests, Cassie makes it her mission to make the guests time unforgettable.

Reviews
Our very first adventure chartering a yacht and this set the standard for all future charters.
From the first call with Kelsey, about a week before departure, we knew we were in good hands...friendly hands...someone who wanted to make this trip special...and boy did she ever.
We arrived in St. Thomas with a text from Kelsey that a car had been arranged to take us to the dock. (Already, things are being taken care of for us). Then, we met Kelsey...this happy, warm and caring young woman greeting us with open arms and hugs. We were instant friends. We came aboard and met the DELICIOUS Cassie...the chef of chefs. A brief tour, unpacking, and then the start of 6 unbelievable days beginning with special drinks and appetizers.
Our first dinner was 5 star and it only kept getting better and better. Cassie managed to make meals that were unique and delicious and beautiful to look at....AND, she navigate around dietary restrictions while managing to serve everyone at the same time. I gained 8 pounds in 6 days.....I hold Cassie deliciously responsible.
Every day brought a new adventure. Kelsey guided us through the days activities after breakfast each morning. We were in her capable and creative hands. Always going someplace interesting (she knows everything about every inch of the BVI and USVI).
This was an anniversary cruise and birthday cruise gift for my 75 year old husband. These two women made this a trip we will cherish and never forget. We are already looking into more charters as long as we can be with Kelsey and Cassie, since they are the gold standard and why would we want anyone else.
Oh, and Rachel, the rep for the boat....what a delight. Navigating me through every step until we settled on the right boat and crew. She made this first-time adventure something we will HAVE to repeat.
Thank you all. I could go on and on with every detail but I think you get the picture. The Kelsey and Cassie show is the only show in town. I'm still smiling (although 8 pounds heavier).
Hoping to hose Kelsey and Cassie at our home in West Palm Beach when they have free time in Florida.
Most sincerely and with gratitude,
David Cohen and Paul Bernabeo.
Colin and Alicia LOVED IT. They said it is the “most bada** thing they have ever done”.
Mindy and Jabez were absolutely great. Captain Jabez was so confident and was just so grounded, a good head on his shoulders and made us all feel super comfortable. When he wasn’t doing his job he was helping Mindy and asked if he needed anything to drink etc. They were an incredible team. The food was fantastic, and beautifully presented! We looked forward to every single meal. (They also loved the SA meal Jabez prepared) 😊
Jabez was great about getting the girls and ourselves up to do activities. Mindy took the kids over one day to Bitter End and hung out with the kids before the adults came over. It was so sweet of her and the girls loved it. They would hang out if we asked them to hang out but also knew when to give space. There was lots of sailing and we felt like we covered so much ground! Jabez was full of great suggestions. The crew even bought them a map and Jabez drew out their route!
14-50 years old and EVERYONE on the boat had an incredible trip.
Can't wait to do it again!
