Winners of Best Crew In Show & Best In Show at the 2024 VIPCA Charter Yacht Show
Captain Christian
Christian grew up dreaming of one day becoming a captain. Having a father in the boating industry along with a mentor allowed Christian to acquire skills and knowledge faster and more in depth than any classroom could have offered. He realized his dream, and achieved his goal spending as much time as possible exploring above and below the waters he travels. His adventurous and fun spirit will lead all passengers on a journey they will thoroughly enjoy, especially those who want to experience the water sports One Love offers. Christian will take you to the most beautiful spots the USVI has to offer. Captain Christian Is qualified in all aspects with his Captains license, sailing and tow endorsements. As well as his STCW, AED and First Aid certification. Captain Christian enjoys guests who are interested and have questions or stories about sailing to join him at the helm. Captain Christian is a fun loving guy who loves to laugh and enjoys having a good time but also knows safety on a sailing vessel is first priority through simple but important rules to be kept on the vessel. That being said, Christian will make sure the entire trip is smooth sailing.
Chef Nikki Compson
With over ten years of culinary experience in the U.K., Nikki is excited to bring her passion for bold flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients to Leopard 50. She began her culinary journey at 18, catering high-end weddings and private dining events, where she gained skills in service, flexibility, and working under Cordon Bleu-trained chefs. She then honed her skills in prestigious kitchens, including the two Michelin-starred The Fat Duck in Bray, and since 2021, has served as the senior head chef at My Neighbours the Dumplings in Hackney, London, a beloved East Asian dumpling house.
She has previous experience as a pastry chef and extensive knowledge of various cuisines from her diverse work background. Alongside her restaurant work, she teaches cooking to both children and adults and has even worked in prisons, where she learned the art of making fresh food accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
Nikki specializes in creating memorable dining experiences tailored to client preferences, combining her expertise in restaurant, catering, and private chef work. She’s a team player with a positive attitude and a love for adventure. Having completed the Ashburton Yacht Chef Course with Laura, the previous chef now on maternity leave, she’s ready to jump on board and bring her culinary expertise, creativity, and fun-loving spirit to this award-winning Leopard 50 catamaran.
---------------------------------------------
Captain Christian is expecting his first baby in April 2025 with his fiance and former One Love chef, Laura! As a result, Chef Laura will be taking maternity leave starting in February. During this time, Captain Christian will start paternity leave March through mid-May. Rest assured, One Love will continue to operate smoothly. Captain Christian will return to the helm of One Love in mid-May and will be accompanied by a professional yacht chef to finish out the season.
During this period (March-Mid May), we are pleased to welcome Captain Wayne Keese (previous owner operator of sailing vessel Manna) with his chef Jules, who will be stepping in to ensure our guests continue to experience the same high standards of service and hospitality. We are confident that they will do an amazing job and provide you with memorable, top-tier charters.
Captain Wayne Keese
Over the previous 11 years, Captain Wayne made the islands of the Caribbean his fulltime home. Traveling from Island to Island with a passion for learning and sharing the experience and knowledge with others. Along the way he has identified the very best in anchorages including dive and snorkel sites. The most impressive activities found on shore including the best in nightlife or you may choose to stay aboard and star gaze in the relaxing atmosphere of the upper deck. You will have that sense of feeling as though you’re a local traveling the islands and not just a tourist. With Chef Jules years of experience onboard and her amazing culinary experiences, compliments the entire experience. She has so much to share outside the gallery. Adding the magic for celebrating those special occasions, hiking, snorkeling, games are just sitting around in the evening visiting and enjoying a nice sundowner. We can honestly say, you have found the most diverse and unique Crew available to explore the Islands with.
Captain Wayne has not always lived in the islands. Like you he was land based at one time. Yet he has lived a very unique and diverse life. An entrepreneur by spirit, he became a pilot at the age of 16, enlisted in the military at age 17 with his dad’s consent volunteering to go airborne. Later he founded Eagle Flight Skydiving and spent years teaching in the civilian world earning every license USPA (United States Parachute Association) had available. He continued pursuing his education and eventually started up a successful technology-based company. Affording him the opportunity to have his own yacht built off the east coast of South Africa in 2013. He sailed her across the Atlantic and up the Caribbean chain on into Florida and joined back up with his wife Emily. With her encouragement, they together founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization called “Manna for Missionaries” to utilize the Yacht in the off season, running humanitarian aid as a way of giving back. Captain Wayne as a PADI Dive Master / Open Water instructor has allowed him a way of fulfilling a passion of introducing people to the underwater world of scuba diving. With so much more to be added Captain Wayne is the real deal. One of the few that walks the talk, inspires and has helped so many others fulfill their own dreams.
Chef Jules
Jules earned her bachelor’s degree in marketing from New Mexico State University. Enjoying the highly rewarding experience of helping others find the homes of their dreams for two decades as a real estate broker. In her spare time, she too discovered two true passions she never realized: cooking and sailing. Obtaining her Captain’s license along with the needed STCW certification to cross international waters. Allowing her the freedom to navigate countless Caribbean islands over the last eleven years preparing amazing meals and entertaining Guest along the way. She believes that the crystal blue waters, gentle breezes, colorful sunrises, and sunsets along with the freedom of sailing, brings a special peace and tranquility to life she so much enjoys sharing. That blissful feeling becomes evident in all the dishes she prepares, making your meals utterly delightful. Jules always looks forward to sharing her spectacular menu with a variety of delectable dishes, assuring an extraordinary culinary experience.

Reviews
The Chef/Mate (Julia): What a woman! Similar to the Captain- highly qualified, and added to the fun! The meals were fantastic. Crème brûlée and tiramisu with filet and grilled shrimp? We felt spoiled at every meal. - Lori
Our charter with Captain Wayne and Chef Julie was absolutely incredible! Captain Wayne took us to the most amazing spots for diving, ensuring we had unforgettable underwater adventures.
Chef Julie was outstanding—every day, she had delicious snacks ready for us, and her dinners were nothing short of spectacular. From pasta to perfectly cooked steak and the freshest fish, every meal was a highlight of our trip. She always had something fun up her sleeve. She made my son’s 17th birthday spectacular.
I can’t say enough great things about our experience, and I already can’t wait to hire Julie again for our next charter. If you’re looking for top-notch service, adventure, and amazing food, this is the crew to book!- Misti Newton
Michael
We truly appreciate your hospitality! It was fantastic to explore the BVI with such a knowledgeable captain! Scuba diving with someone who has as much experience as you and continues to dive was truly enjoyable. We will always consider ourselves lucky to have you as our guide!
Dave and Kelly
We can not thank you enough for your hospitality and skill in navigating us through the BVI. Our trip was a trip of a lifetime and that was mainly because of you, your knowledge/stories and of course Julie and her culinary skills! We loved the comradery, snorkeling, diving, and all the dice games. We hope our paths and friendships will continue to cross paths again soon. Arrr! Here’s to the best Pirate.
Trish and Gary
Wow! What a great trip! We continue to think about and laugh remembering the great hospitality and adventure you showed us. The diving absolutely made the trip. BVI is so gorgeous, and the boat was amazing! It was a pleasure hanging out with you and Julie.

Gail
Wow! What a week it has been. From the moment we stepped on the boat, I knew we would be forever friends. This experience has been one for the books. The dives with Wayne were beautiful. The sailings, fishing, wake boarding, all so fun!! I loved that my kids, got to be kids and do so much. You are amazing! Julie, your meals were outstanding and you made everything so nice! I am so forever grateful our paths crossed. I can’t wait to see you again. I loved our talks and giggles. We are two peas in a pod. You guys are family and we love you both!
James and Misty
It has been a great adventure through the BVI. I have enjoyed everything we have done. Thanks to Captain Wayne for taking us places I’ve never been to and thanks to Julie for giving us great food. Thanks for everything.

I had so much fun with you guys this week. I loved every second of it. I hope I can come and be with you guys again maybe sometime next summer. It has been a pleasure being a guest aboard One Love. Best of luck and have fun and don’t forget what your tattoos say… “Imagine more and never give up!”
With Love,

Michael, Polly, Blake, Will and Julie
Thank you so much for a simply amazing week aboard One Love! From the pre-trip zoom call to learn more about our preferences and trip goals to the final morning on the boat, we appreciated the planning and attention given to every detail. Christian smoothly sailed us through the beautiful waters while Laura prepared gourmet meals that rivaled any high end restaurant. We enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding and swimming in the beautiful waters of the Virgin Islands. Evening activities of ukulele/guitar sing along, card games and of course Pirate/Karaoke night were all so much fun.
Something we didn’t fully appreciate until we were on the trip, was how important it was to get along with the crew while living in close quarters for a week. We would say we not only got along but we all really enjoyed getting to know Laura and Christian. They are warm, friendly and interesting people and we hope our paths cross with them again in the future!
Thank you, Laura and Christian!
The Frugonis
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. You listened to us and created a vacation around our interest and values. We weren’t sure what to expect. You cared for us through our fears, sea sickness, and through our laughter. That level of care and love, helped, create the most amazing experience and relaxation that all of us needed. Laura, the food was incredible. Christian, you were such a joy. Our favorite memory was playing music together as a family. All of this has nourished, our hearts, body, mind and soul. Thank you!
- The Manning's
Thanks for an amazing week. We loved seeing so many new fun spots. Thanks for joining in all our family card games. The food was awesome. Especially spider crab night, the best spider crab we have ever had! We loved all the snorkeling spots especially Salt Island. Our week on One Love was perfect and we are grateful for all the fantastic memories we made with our boys. Until next time!
Lime Out and tubing, cactus candy, and petting a goat were some of our favorite activities and memories from this trip along with jumping off the Willie T and Salt Island snorkeling. Dinner at Cooper Island, and finding an octopus again along with swimming with turtles. Karaoke night plus ringing the bell at Woody’s.
-The Louella's
Thanks, Laura and Captain Christian for all the good conversations and for taking such good care of us. Laura, the food was outstanding, and made with such love. Christian, thanks for making sure we got some good sailing done and for letting the guys help a bit. We wish you both a wonderful future making your dreams come true. If you are ever in Lititz or Gilbert, give us a call!
We loved the sailing and the food aboard!! The most quiet coves were the best.
Saba Rock was interesting. The views, the sunsets, all so beautiful!
-Frank & Susanne Dombrowski and Dave, & Kathy Byrne
We could not have picked a more perfect crew! Laura is a master chef and she never cease to amaze us with her creations. As delicious as they were each, and every meal was fantastic. Mahi, snapper, wahoo, shrimp and scallops, all prepared with an Asian flair!
Our captain, Christian was equally amazing with his quick wit and skills. Always willing to share tips and advice on sailing and island activities. Our trip definitely exceeded our expectations!
