Captain James has worked on the water since he was a teen. He attended Maine Maritime Academy for Marine Engineering and began working charters in the Hamptons. After making the move to Miami, he expanded his knowledge of the Caribbean, especially the keys and the Bahamas. He is called Thor by friends because of his resemblance to the Norse God.

Veronika Leshko
Captain
Fate definitely had a hand at making me a captain and now I can’t imagine life without yachts and water. Everyday I get to see the most wonderful people having a time of their lives, celebrating anything and everything I can think of and creating happy memories that the yacht crew becomes a part of. “Find a job you love, you’ll never work again…”- for me it’s being a Captain.
Keith

Capt Keith was born in Miami, FL and grew up boating and fishing on the waters of South Florida. He is retired US Navy and has been a licensed USCG 200 ton Master for 30+ years.
Manny

Scott Stearns
Captain
If there was person who truly captained for the joy of giving people unforgettable experiences on the water, it is Scott. Scott has broad experiences on boats, from racing on professional sailboats internationally to delivering and running yachts. Scott studied engineering at Georgia Tech and now works in private equity. He is our favorite weekend captain because he shows up to the boat excited to meet the clients and make their time out on the water one of a kind.
