Crew Information
Captain: Jamie Young
Jamie & Thea
Jamie was born in Zimbabwe and started out working life in the field of electrical engineering and building construction. After leaving Zimbabwe in 1984 with his wife Thea and their young children, they lived for 11 years in the beautiful wilds and outdoors of Botswana. Subsequently they spent 8 years in Cape Town and here Jamie started following his dream and with friends and family began recreational sailing around the unpredictable African wild East and West coasts and off Cape Town. After landing a job as a Projects Manager in the UK, he and Thea moved to the United Kingdom where they have lived for 10 years. It was in these waters Jamie decided that a 9 to 5 job was not for him and so decided to pursue a professional sailing career in the yachting industry and in the process has sailed the strong tidal waters of the Solent off Portsmouth and Southampton and up the West and East coast of UK, including cross channel sailing to the Channel Islands, France and the Brittany coasts. He now holds the RYA Yacht Master Certification. In addition to sailing the coasts of South Africa, the U.K., he has also sailed briefly in the Bahamas and the Caribbean islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Jamie’s electrical engineering, building and managerial background contribute to his captain’s skills, expert seamanship and in-depth understanding of the varied mechanical, electrical and digital systems aboard Yachts. Jamie also holds the PADI open water diving qualification and loves exploring the beauty below the waves.
Thea was born in South Africa and at a very young age moved to Zimbabwe, where she met and married Jamie. She pursued careers in retail merchandising, accounting and hospitality both in Africa and the UK. She has always loved cooking and whilst in Cape Town owned her own bistro. Thea loves sports and the outdoors, having played tennis and hockey at club level and enjoyed water skiing. Since moving to the UK, Thea took more interest in yachting, and immediately hopped on board with Jamie’s decision to pursue a sailing career and rekindled her love for cooking by attending the renowned Ashburton School of Cookery in Devon, England where she did the Mediterranean and Fish and Seafood courses. She is looking forward to putting her culinary and social skills to work for guests aboard BLOSSOM in the BVIs with her husband Jamie.
Jamie and Thea’s life experiences in Africa and the United Kingdom combined with their sailing, world travel and gourmet cooking, and not forgetting the best BBQ's / South African 'Braai's', and their warm hospitality, will guarantee you the vacation of a lifetime, every time, aboard the Luxury Catamaran MOON BLOSSOM.

Words cannot express how wonderful the two of you are - we are leaving this trip of a lifetime feeling blessed to have met you. Both of you made this trip special. Your help in coordinating our engagement is so appreciated. We were lucky you guys were there to share it with is. It was truly spectacular! We hope that you will come stay with is in Neptune Beach, FL. You are charming, funny, and have an amazing spirit. Thank you for everything! Love, Chrissie and Johnny
Thank you for hosting this amazing voyage. You are so much more than a crew to us. You gave us the gift of yourselves - your personality, humor, candor, and friendship. In sharing your thoughts, advice and experience with marriage. You have impacted 3 couples more than you know. Your influence will travel home with us and enhance how we regard ourselves and our spouses. For this, I am ever grateful. Of course, the fabulous food, tending after us and making sure we had a lovely time are also greatly appreciated. Thanks for considering us your "favorites"!
Love,
Liz & Dan
Thank you for a wonderful vacation! Everything was amazing! We are so glad we finally made it even though COVID is still around. We will miss being so pampered and all the great times we had with you! We hope to be able to come back and do it again in the future. I hope you get to see your grandson in person very soon.
All our best,
Gerard, Susan, Heather, Lizzie & Helena
Thank you for a fantastic trip. Loved the new boat. We were so happy to be your first trip in the BVI post-covid.
Fantastic food and views. Gary enjoyed being able to help sail. We all enjoyed being pampered for an entire week. You create such a fun and friendly atmosphere on board that makes each day a joy.
We hope to be sailing with you again!

It has been a pleasure to meet you guys! It has also been a great week of snorkeling ad navigating to all the awesome islands in the BVI. Thea, your food was so special! You both took such good care of us and made us feel right at home.
Love ya!
-Joe & Carol
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect crew for the six of us. We now consider you friends as well, and would love to have you visit us in Texas. Thanks for a first class trip, and we appreciate your professionalism.
Mary & Henry
Let us as well express our gratitude to spending a week with you on Moon Blossom. EVERYTHING was prefect, from the wonderful cooking, navigating, mooring sites, snorkeling (you still owe us a turtle!) and accommodations. It was as well a pleasure to get to know both of you and converse over a myriad of topics. We clearly made the right choice in choosing you guys and Moon Blossom. Not only that, but we greatly appreciate you controlling the weather for us!
Echo above. Getting to know both of you was a wonderful experience. The entire week was Spectacular.
-Susan & Michael
Dear Jamie & Thea,
Ed & I join in Michael & Susan's note. What an amazing week!! Thank you for making it so terrific! Wishing you fair winds!
-Debbie & Ed
Thanks for a wonderful week and taking us to some spots that were new to us in spite of several previous BVI trips. The food and hospitality have been amazing
-Steve & Mimi
Warm regards,
Andre, Trish, Rachel, Lily & Ryan
Wanted to express how amazing the trip was. First, the boat - Moon Blossom is beautiful and unbelievably comfortable. Everyone had their own space and the fly bridge is nothing short of awesome. Second, the islands - the anchorages, scenery, and activities were exactly what we were looking for. Last, but certainly not least, the Crew - you guys are great. No matter the situation you guys nailed it. Every anchorage was just right, every meal was spot on, you engaged but provided space, the little details were awesome and the Thanksgiving meal was memorable. Everything you did was classy and well thought out. Not only will we be back but we'd be happy to share our great experience with anyone who asks.
-Todd, Maria, Will, Emma
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This trip was absolutely amazing and incredible. Thank you all for the laughs and guidance in every activity, the AMAZING food, and just the best friendship we have formed! I loved every second of this dream tip and am so sad to be leaving Moony (aka Moon Blossom). Thank you times a million!
Emma
THANK YOU FROM OUR HEARTS!!
Maria & Todd
PS Please look us up if you are ever in Boston!
Thanks for a truly outstanding Virgin Island vacation. It truly exceeded all of our expectations. The food, the conversation, attention to all the little details, the scenery, the weather and your kind consideration were outstanding. We appreciated all you did for us.
Peace,

7. It is our pleasure to keep you informed of relevant specials / updates for your next charter. When do you plan to charter next?
Am interested in a charter next February or March near Granada. Can you provide info as to available yachts. If the "new" Blossom is going to be available in Grenada area I would certainly want to be with Jaime and Thea again.
Just want to thank them both for a job well done, it will be an experience that I will always remember and that is saying a lot because I don't remember much. I believe Jeff was very impressed as well because he told me so.
We wish them all the best of luck with future charters and hope all their guests as as pleased as we were. No doubt about that.
Many more good years to you, we can tell you love what you do!
Hugs & stay safe!
Jeff & Adele

We wanted to thank both of your for a spectacular & brilliant week! Thanks for everything & looking forward to the next trip!
Hope to see you all soon!
Betsy, Kelly, Alex, Sarah & Emily
Thank you so much for a most delightful trip! Right from the moment we stepped on board we felt at home. Every aspect of the experience made it a dream - the food, the fun, the secluded beaches, the starry nights! Even the "Great Northern Caribbean Orange Spotted Towel!" Or the casually floating away little cushion!
Or the casually floating away little cushion! We really enjoyed every little thing this boat had. You two are the ultimate dynamic duo! We loved getting to know you and hearing your stories. Thank you for showing us the best the BVI has to offer, and for all the new experiences (waterskiing for starters)! Not to forger all the healthy morning smoothies & yoga!!
Thank you for a wonderful time on board blossom! It became our home, you were both wonderful. Hope we see you again!
All the best,
Nikhil, Mandria, Rohan, Rishabah
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. I am very grateful for your hospitality and warmth. I enjoyed your presence very much and I will be incorporating some of your words into my life, especially cheeky monkey! Fate thee well for the next leg of your journey!
-Sara
Thank you so very much for a thoroughly enjoyable time from our point of origin to our point of departure. Everything exceeded our expectations. Captain Jamie's patience in explaining navigation and endless runs to shuttle us was greatly appreciated. Thea's cooking and kindness was the best. You both love what you do, and it was so obvious to both of us.
Love,
Roy and Erin
Happy Sailing,
Brad and Tracey
Where do we begin? Such a wonderful trip!
Thank you so much for showing us around the BVI. We can't wait to return. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home and treating us as if we were family. You two make such a wonderful team. Please keep in touch with us and would love to see you guys when you arrive in Florida.
Love,
Matt, Shannon, Gavin, and Madison
We can't thank you enough for your kind and generous hospitality. The trip exceeded all expectations and created memories that will last a lifetime. The opportunity to spend New Years eve at the Bitter End was made even more special with your son Grant and his Fiance Tara. We felt like honorary members of your clan and ringing in 2016 could not have been better! Your attention to every detail made our every hope for this trip a reality. It is great to see a couple as happy together as the two of you. Your enthusiasm and passion is truly infectious.
Alright, enough of this sentimental stuff...Lets raise a glass of Rum and celebrate great times + great new friends.
Love, Bobby, Mellissa, Mike & Kelley
What an adventure we have had together. Beautiful bays and coves, perfect overnight locations, crazy strong winds, rain clouds keeping Jaime on his feet, THE BATHS, seeing most of the best spots the BVI has to offer. Thea's and my crazy steep drive over Tortola to the Road Town clinic, coughing & more coughing, Jaime putting on the Chefs hat, beautiful sunny days & clear blue water.
Thea you have wrecked my husband for my future cooking. I will aspire to follow in your amazing food foot steps.
Both of your big hearts, kind nature & "welcome aboard to your boat" attitude made our week with you amazing!!
Adriane & Michael
Thank you both for such a wonderful week. The food was absolutely delicious every night (as were the drinks...) and you took us to some wonderful places that suited us perfectly. Thank you also for being so kind to the kids (and chatting with them while we slept) You were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome and incredibly well looked after!
The Sacks family
Our vacation was perfect from start to finish. The hospitality incredible, the food wonderful and the destinations just beautiful. Thea & Jamie were gracious hosts and WOW can Thea cook. Jamie knew exactly where to take us for the best diving and scenery.
We highly recommend J&T for the very best vacation.
Stacey and Larry
Best wishes and thank you for everything.
Jeremy and Emily
Dear Jamie and Thea,
We want to thank you both for the wonderful opportunity to spend our vacation with both of you. We have sailed in the BVI many times since 1980.
You were both accommodating, helpful, friendly, kind and generous with your time and talents. The food was delicious and presented in such a lovely way. Your knowledge of the islands was unsurpassed. Thank you for keeping is SAFE.
Love,
Bill and Robin
We would love to do this again.
Janis and Guy
"We sailed with my wife and 2 daughters, 9 and 8. We all loved Jamie and Thea and highly recommend them for any charter. "
"From the moment we met Jamie and Thea it was if we had known them for years. They are the consummate hosts and meet your every need before you even know you have one! This is the best boat with the best hosts in the BVI. We will be back!"
"What a wonderful experience this was! Jamie and Thea were an absolute joy to be around. They had a wonderful sense of humor and great knowledge of the BVIs. We loved spending NYE with them. I can't wait to book our next adventure!"
"It was our friends first time chartering and in the BVI so it was great fun to be with them and share. Thea and Jamie were exceptional hosts! Clean and relaxing environment, wonderful sized staterooms and baths, Thea's food was wonderful and she did a great job catering to one of our folks who is a "little bit picky", Jamie and Thea both showed us the ropes on chartering - teaching us along the way. Couldn't have asked for a better boat or crew! "
Thank you for an amazing week of food, snorkeling, and exploring the beautiful islands. You have made us feel completely at home and relaxed. It has been therapeutic and wonderful family time. We are blessed to have met both of you and look forward to sailing with you again in the future.
All the best to you-
Doug, Sharon, Joseph, and Lilli
Just wanted to say thank you for the amazing week we spent on the boat. It was our first time sailing, but definitely not our last. The boys had a blast and don't even want to go home. Thank you for the amazing food and Elan's birthday party. Hope to see you again on our next charter!
-Akiva, Ora, Elan, and Eliam
We can't thank you enough for the great vacation. Your knowledge of the islands and kindness with putting up with 3 crazy teenage boys is everything we could have hoped for. The food and drinks were incredible and your attention to us was something we aren't used to! Wishing you many happy sunsets in the future.
I had a fabulous time! Thank you for teaching me everything.
-Marshall
This was probably the most relaxing trip I've ever taken. Thank you for your generosity.

There are no words to describe how amazing both of you are! We are truly blessed to have met you on this amazing trip. You are both so very generous and full of life. Thank you for everything this week Thea - you went out of your way for me to make sure you prepared food I could eat. Thank you!
Jamie - you were always right there to help with anything we needed THANK YOU! The love you have for each other is amazing and I hope Chris and I can mirror your marriage! We truly felt right at home. The life you are living here in the BVI is so amazing and we hope to be here soon!
We would love to bring our family back to meet you! Can't wait to see you both again.
With love, Chris & Mandy
