MEET THE CREW
Captain: Alan Owen
Chef/First Mate: Sarah Henderson
Al was born in South Africa, and by the age of 8 he was a regular at the local yacht club, racing in Optimist dinghies. This began his long association with boats and water sports. He moved to Ireland as a young adult, and spent the next eight years as an outdoor instructor. Disciplines covered included sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and paddle sports. Archery, indoor climbing, orienteering, mountain biking and swimming.
Al has competed at national and international level in both dinghy and keelboat racing , and represented Ireland in kayak surfing at World Championships.
Offshore racing in J 24’s had whetted his appetite to pursue a career in a maritime setting and he enrolled on a Professional Offshore Yachtmaster course . He then worked as Flotilla Lead and bareboat Skipper for Sunsail, Dubrovnik, Croatia, before setting his sights on the Caribbean and fulfilling a lifelong dream to captain a yacht in paradise.
When at home you’ll find him hunting surf along the West Coast of Ireland, either on a board, windsurf, or more recently on his wing foil.
Sarah studied a business marketing degree for 3 years and in these years was when she really found a passion for cooking. Not living at home she spent time curating exciting recipes for her lunches and dinners as a relief from studying. She loved it so much that she decided to pursue this passion more fervently and attended a culinary school in Cape Town after she completed her degree.
Combining her love for nature and her love for cooking, a chef on a yacht seemed like the perfect next adventure for her.
She lived in Italy for 6 months initially, and then worked for a flotilla company in the Mediterranean for 3 years where she excelled and was promoted to a lead position in her first year within the company.
In her free time, Sarah loves scuba diving, snorkelling, yoga and pilates and babysitting.
Sarah loves creating menus and meals with seasonal, sustainable and fresh produce taking pride in plating beautifully curated dishes and spreads, and will easily adapt to any preferences or specific needs of her guests to ensure they have a unique and special experience and holiday."
Al and Sarah can’t wait to welcome you aboard Sea Dog and give you the experience of a vacation of a lifetime!

From our first conversation prior to our trip in the mid west, we knew the trip was going to be fun. Captain Al always found a hidden gem and Iona blessed up with UNBELIEVABLE meals. Our family had an amazing time on Sea Dog.
We spent our week at the best spots with the best crew, our family will be back.
Joe, Emily, Gabi, and Belle.
Al took us to the best spots and Iona (aka chef extraordinaire) would always join our fun.
The BVI was a blast but especially because of the hosts we had. They shared drinks, dreams, memories and fun times.
Adios to Jost, until Christmas 2026!
The B Sisters, New Years 2025
Our nine days on the Sea Dog fulfilled all that we hoped for in this experience, and we couldn't be happier!
From the time we stepped foot on the boat, Al and Iona made us feel at home. Al served up the perfect itinerary with amazing mooring locations and expert judgement of the sea and the weather.
Great spots in quiet coves, provided calm waters to snorkel and swim. We maximised our days with adventures on Virgin Gorda and Anegada, mixing in the best of land and sea.
We were so impressed with Al's knowledge of the area and skills as a captain!
On board, Iona served up amazing meals and delightful cocktails. We eagerly awaited each meal and were always delighted with the variety and presentation.
But as good as the sailing and the food were, it was their company that made the trip special. Lots of fun and laughter, they quickly became not just super hosts but part of our family!
We cannot wait until the next visit!"

The Sea Dog is spacious with multiple lounging areas, perfect for relaxing or enjoying group moments. This trip was unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Julie, the cooking and the meals were outstanding - a highlight of the trip
Mike, Captain, great job getting us safely to our destinations and making us feel safe. The two of you work great together and you do a wonderful job taking care of your guests. Tammy and I appreciate your hospitality and hope someday we can sail with you again.
Your expertise on these beautiful islands was so appreciated. You found the perfect mooring spot -every - single - time!
And - the food!!!! What can be said that's better than spectacular!
Thank you so much for being terrific hosts!
We fell in love with the islands, the boat, y'all, the fishing, the food (OMG! The Food!), the beaches and Captain's drinks!
You are truly THE BEST.
Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you all for an incredible vacay!
Incredible Vistas, Morning Coffee Club, Sunsets, Sunrises.... Wonderful Experience!!
Deep appreciation for Mike's steady demeanor in navigating through the beautiful islands.
Chef Julie...your gourmet meals, your attention to details, table decor were above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for recognizing the dietary restrictions and the birthday celebrations.
Hope you enjoyed the flavour of our local music - Newfoundland, Prince Edward island and Nova Scotia with our evening sing songs.
The boat was grand, and immaculate. The BVIs and USVI were spectacular. Who can resist those 42 shades of blue Caribbean waters.
But the best was Captain Mike and Julie. They made this trip all the more special. Captain made sure we visited all the places on our wish list and got us there safely and with a smile. And Julie! What a surprise at every hand-crafted meal, from homemade icecream to perfectly cooked sea bass. I regret our dinners on shore because I was sure we were missing something better on board.
They made our trip truly the best experience of a lifetime.
There are few inflection points in life - THIS was one of them.
Thank you for being part of our DREAM!
Thank you so much for making this trip so very special!!
This was our first experience on a private catamaran and it will not be our last.
We have travelled the world, but we will always remember this trip.
Thanks for a great trip and many memories with friends.
The food was absolutely incredible. I know I will miss that when we get home. We noticed all the little details you did to make our trip amazing.
I hope we can come back and do it again. If you are ever in NY be sure to look us up and visit.
Thank you so much again for an unforgettable trip!!
Appreciate all your help getting here, we had the best trip.
Thank you for being extremely flexible and making everything we wanted happen.
The food was amazing and your company outstanding!
Mike exudes confidence with the boat and can tackle anything that comes up. Very impressive.
The itinerary you arranged for us was perfect and we have fallen in the love with the area now!
Julie, you meals were off the charts. Your presentation and tablescapes were so fun and creative! But your selection of food for oure entrees and desserts was beyond our expectations.
Absolutely beautiful.
We are already planning our trip for next year!
Please stay in touch and come see us in Annapolis.
You are both A+ hosts and good people to hang out with.
has been a dream come true.
Your company is fantastic
and you're the best crew.
Your hospitality is extraordinary, a
treasure so rare.
You've given us a vacation
of memories to share.
Captain Mike, a navigator supreme,
guided Sea Dog like a nautical Dream.
Julie, a master chef, her culinary art.
Each meal a masterpiece, a delight from the start.
To pristine beached and blue seas.
The Sea Dog sailed,
The beauty of the islands
Each day wonders unveiled.
We are grateful to sail with you
For this is a dream come true!
This was our first time to the Virgin Islands, the first time on a catamaran and I find it hard to imagine it can ever get better than this.
The natural beauty of the islands can only be seen in their entirety from the water. The many deserted coves and beaches, where we walked in the soft sand and snorkeled in the crystal clear water, were an up-close and immersive experience second to none.
Our son loved the underwater sea scooters and the wake board. Our oldest daughter would go out on the stand up paddleboards, and our youngest daughters jumped from the upper deck in between relaxing and handing out.
Mike was the perfect boat captain. Everything on board worked well, there was plenty of water for showers and all the toys and activities were already for use. He sailed us to the best of the islands, taking into account the weather and waves so we had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. On the longer stretches Miked showed anyone who was interested how to sail the catamaran, how to go fast and avoid the other ships and boats while getting to where we wanted to go. Mike led our weeklong vacation while being kind, pleasant, and confidentially in command. This certainly made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience.
As Mike led the boat, Julie led the accommodations and especially the kitchen. meals were the highlights of each day! The quantity, quality and presentation of breakfast, lunch, snack and especially dinner was wonderful. Juslie is an outstanding chef. The cuisine was fresh and flavourful while at the same time being hearty, healthy and a joy to behold!
She kept the living area neat, clean and attractive!
While exploring both the American and British Virgin Islands we felt like we were in a floating luxury hotel. Every day provided a new and unique experience and the transit from island to island was an ever changing seascape of stunning natural beauty.
Every person in our family rates this as one of our best vacations ever. The only thing that might make it better was if we had a small convoy of 2 to 4 catamarans shared with friends and family, each crewed by a couple as thoughtful and capable as Mike and Julie.
Thank you!
We arrived home safe and sound last night. I wanted to let you know what an amazing time our family had on the SeaDog. We were treated like family by Nick and Kate and our son absolutely adores Nick. He spent so much time helping Nate fish and educating him on things, that we saw Nate come out of his shell and have great moments of dialog with Nick. We couldn’t be more happy than this.
Kate prepared amazing food all week and waited on us hand and foot.
The SeaDog was very clean and accommodating.
We couldn’t have had a better crew. We highly recommend Nick and Kate, they championed this entire memory for our family.
Thank you.!!!!
Rating of Yacht & Crew: 5
Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes very good layout and very clean.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Very - we kept the doors open during the day and the AC was nice and cold at night
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Our crew was absolutely amazing. Captain Nick was the perfect balance of fun and safe. I knew about 30 mins in to being on the boat that he had our safety as his number one priority and that he knew sailing inside and out. He took us to great spots and when he wasn’t busy sailing he was busy cleaning up, getting toys out, helping Kate, or answering any of our million questions we were always throwing at him. He fished with us every night and that was definitely a highlight of the trip. Kate…no words. I think I speak for all of us when I say we wanted to take her home with us! She was the sweetest, kindest hostess we could ever imagine. Her food was delicious and her drinks were even better! She worked so hard the week we were there and you could tell she loved every minute of it. It would be hard to imagine doing this trip with anyone else.
Was the food good and well presented?
Yes the food was amazing. Every meal was delicious and our Chef, Kate, took into consideration all of the likes/dislikes we each told her about.
Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
We can’t imagine a better time than the one we had onboard Sea Dog with Kate and Nick. Every aspect was perfect - from the planning with VI Sailing to the trip itself. The boat was beautiful and safe and our crew took the best care of us. It was hard to leave on the last day.

Highlights: avoiding the shakes with well crafted cocktails :), snorkeling with sea turtles, sea scooters, sailing....sailing....sailing, deserted beaches, food....food...gummy bears....cheese puffs..., playing family games every night while we still have the kids under our roof.
Sincerely, Thank you for sharing your expertise and "second home" with us!! We will never forget this experience or you two. Best wishes to you in your future sails!
Thanks Mike for smooth sailing and taking us to some great snorkel spots. It was a good balance between activities and relaxation. We sure got lucky and spoiled with some amazing food and will be dreaming of how delicious everything was.... and probably need to go on a diet when we get back home :)
I think it is safe to say, that this has been the best vacation for all of us.
We could not have had a better crew couple that treated us with the most respect, service and food I could have ever imagined.
Best of luck to you both!
Thank you for some amazing memories!
Thank you for all the memories!
Thank you so much for a wonderful charter! You both made the journey incredibly relaxing and were very accommodative. I know we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. It was a hell of a trip and seeing my mom’s reaction each day made all of it worth it. On top of that, the beautiful views, the BOMB food band the organization of the ship made this something I look forward to doing again.
Amazing week from the magical places you took us to snorkel, kayak and hike, to the absolutely delicious meals and careful attention you paid to every detail!
You two are tremendous hosts and an impressive team!
We will forever remember sailing away with you!
As soon as we stepped out of the cab and saw your smiling faces, we knew this was going to be great... and it was!!
The teamwork was amazing! The adventures and food was all 5 stars!!
We were so comfortable, pampered and relaxed!!
Our seven day journey became a lifetime memory! Thank you!
This week of sun, amazing cocktails, beautiful beaches and tons of laughs is exactly what we all needed.
For all your hard work, we say: THANK YOU!!
Your professionalism, hospitality, anticipation of every need of your guests is just incredible!
... And the food- Delicious, beautifully presented and exceeding our expectations every day.
You both took great care of us and we can't thank you enough for making our vacation an amazing experience!
If we had to rate your service, five stars isn't enough, a constellation & BEYOND!
Your hosting was so attentive and yet so effortless. You are both such naturals at this gig. We enjoyed our easy conversations and getting to know you both!
Watching the stars on the upper deck and listening to random 90s music was another highlight!
Thank you!!
It TRULY is just gorgeous. It is spacious and very well appointed. Mike and Julie were so great! They were simply lovely people who were thoughtful, kind and anticipated what we would want. They take good care all the way around. We were pampered beyond expectations.
(Our only disappointment was on Sunday following our return home we were left to our own devices in our homes to mix our own drinks, prepare our own meals and clean up after dinner! HaHaHa )
I will close with a heartfelt thank you for sharing your beautiful sailing vessel with us.
