Captain Jamie – What a dream come true this trip has been!



Grand Sue has been talking about taking all the grandkids sailing since our last sailing trip in 2004. Amazingly, it has happened! Though chartering the catamaran wasn’t in our original plan, thank goodness we found you and Rapscallion!



You’ve been super flexible and accommodating, while also leading the way to some of the best spots in the BVI. How deluxe to have a guide, captain, chef, and boat connoisseur to lead the way!



And you were such a good sport to join us in dancing to Yuck! It’s hard to beat the day in Anegada and that incredible lobster feast, but my favorite nights so far have been relaxing under the stars and making drinks to share together.



Gratitude, much respect! Fingers crossed we’ll recreate this reunion again.

Captain Jamie and the Rapscallion turned our BVI charter into a masterclass in how to live well and sail better. From the moment we stepped aboard, Jamie's planning was tighter than a ship's rigging-every stop, from the Rhone's haunting wreck to Anegada's lobster-laden shores, felt like he'd whispered to the islands ahead of time. He tailored the trip to our interests as he got to know us, weaving in Northern Sound's rugged splendor, Smuggler's Cove's raw edge, and Sandy Spit's tiny paradise-each a perfect match by the journey's end. His know-how was encyclopedic; he navigated us through Jost Van Dyke's party pulse and pristine snorkeling spots with the ease of a man who's memorized the Caribbean's heartbeat. Recommendations were spot-on-RMS Rhone's underwater cathedral left us awestruck, Anegada's beaches were a revelation, and Jost's Soggy Dollar was a triumph of timing. The snorkeling? I've got a new standard for 'clear water' now. Bonus points: his connection to Sweet Tea Willy, the taxi driver with more charm than a barrel of rum, added a local flavor we'll never forget. Jamie didn't just captain a boat-he orchestrated an odyssey. The Rapscallion's a gem, and

we're already plotting our return.

Jamie, thank you so much for a wonderful sale and adventure. I felt safe the whole time and was amazed of your knowledge you have of the boat and of the seas. I wouldn't do this voyage with any other Captain than you. You are a wonderful, delightful, handsome man. The perfect one is out there so don't give up and we wish you a safe, healthy happy life ahead of you.

Thanks again, Shelly and Jack

What an amazing experience Jamie! We are so thankful for all the time and care you put into planning our trip and for always being willing to leave early in the morning to secure those coveted mooring and anchor spots. From jumping off the Willie T, to the scooters, the epic New Year's Eve, to painkiller comparisons, and everything in between-- we will all treasure these memories! Thank you for everything!

Susan’s 60th birthday week!! Don’t Worry –Be Cappy!



Cappy did a fantastic job planning a fun filled adventure for five old people. Favorite memories were scooting around Anagada, floating at JVD all day and the adventure to and from the Windmill Bar in St. John. Lots of good snorkeling spots and beautiful stargazing at night. Sunsets were absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking such good care of us, Captain Jamie!

It was a great size for our family of 5. Plenty of room to sleep, with private bathrooms in each of the quarters. The kitchen was a little tight for all of us to gather, but it served us well for many meals. Lots of great space on the deck for lounging, and sunning. Easy to get on and off for snorkeling. Fun toys for activities, we used the SUP's the most. Captain Jamie was very accessible and accommodating. He was great with the kids and became a part of the family!



We were very satisfied with the cruising itinerary. We had to make a few adjustments along the way, but all of the destinations were still beautiful and unique. Lots of snorkeling and beach time, which we requested! The floating restaurants were a great experience as well. Super fun itinerary!



We were very impressed with the level of service and professionalism from Captain Jamie,

and all of the vendors we encountered. This was a bucket list trip that went very well for us! We can't wait to come back and do it all again soon!

Jamie, thanks so much for the unforgettable vacation. Thanks for keeping us safe from Beryl! Ryan’s favorite part was renting the mini-moke at Anegada. Kevin’s was all the sailing, and mine was the beach @ Jost. Loved Leala again as the second time we got to have her! Hope to see y’all in two years for another sail! Rapscallion rules!

I couldn’t imagine a better vacation celebrating our girls graduation from college and high school. It’s difficult to put into words the beauty and the splendor of wind pushing our beloved Rapscallion through the water. The peace and beauty of the sounds, water and sky passing us by is heavenly. Skipper, Jamie, was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of our voyage. We’ll miss him and hope to see him again! Godspeed Rapscallion. We’ll be back.

My favorite part of Holiday was trying the painkillers (frozen is my fav). I also love swimming and tanning on the boat. The food is something I will never forget. I also loved seeing sea turtles and a stingray (love those sea creatures). I had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for being a wonderful captain. 15 men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! -Treasure Island

My fav part was 100% the last dinghy ride. Also won’t forget when Sophia took her first shot of rum. You should come down to JMU and watch some football and try the drink machine! Hope to see you soon and thanks for giving us a good time!
