Click each crew profile to learn more about their background, experience, and personal story. Captain: Dick Stuart Captain Dick Stuart Captain Dick, a mechanical engineer by training, enjoyed a successful career in construction sales management before turning his lifelong love of sailing into a full-time adventure. He began sailing at the age of 10 in an El Toro on Lafayette Reservoir in Northern California. Growing up, much of his time was spent sailing on San Francisco Bay and bareboat chartering extensively throughout the Caribbean. In preparation for what he once thought would be a retirement dream plan, Dick continued to hone his sailing skills over the years. He holds a 100 Ton Master’s License with Sailing Endorsement, an FCC Marine Radio Operator Certification, and a Dive Instructor Certification. Known for his excellent reputation as “the troubleshooting ninja,” he uses his knowledge of mechanical systems to anticipate the “what ifs” and keep the experience running smoothly. Safety is Captain Dick’s top priority for his guests, but fun is a close second. An adventure seeker and water lover, he moved to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico in 2017 and loves sailing the aquamarine waters and island-hopping throughout the Caribbean. Captain Dick welcomes all guests with his famous captain’s cocktails nightly. He is also an avid cribbage player and is always ready to challenge the best. Chef/Stew: Kim Richards Chef Kim Richards Chef Kim's love for sailing began in 2012, the first time she set foot on a catamaran in the BVI. She has been hooked ever since. After completing sailing classes in Colorado and California, Kim went on to captain several catamarans in Mexico and the Caribbean. She delights in creating the ultimate pampering experience for guests while sharing the magic of sailing through the beautiful Caribbean waters. An accomplished business owner, motivational speaker, and author, Kim understands the importance of exceptional customer service and has a keen eye for personal detail. She is passionate about food and hospitality, ensuring every delicious meal is prepared according to guest preferences. From carefully crafted meals and cocktails to thoughtful touches throughout the charter, Kim works to make each vacation experience exceed expectations. An avid traveler, Kim has a great sense of adventure. Her travels have taken her bungee jumping in New Zealand, skiing in the European Alps, fly fishing in Montana and Utah, volunteering as a nurse in Ethiopia and Uganda, hiking in Patagonia, and Class V whitewater rafting in Colorado. A former ER and trauma RN, she brings both calm confidence and care to everything she does. Kim has also been a fitness and yoga instructor for over 30 years and lives an active lifestyle wherever she may be. Her lifelong practice of yoga and meditation brings a sense of tranquility to guests, offering everyone the opportunity to absorb the soothing nature of the sea. Guests may even join her for paddleboarding to shore for a yoga-on-the-beach session.
