TESTIMONIALS
K&B, I could talk for hours, and I still wouldn’t be able to fully describe how perfect and unforgettable this trip was. The kindness, care, understanding, and skill you shared with us allowed me to feel secure and fully happy every single day. From joking about the Barracuda and Mrs. Debie missing nap time, talking on deck, and traveling on the dinghy, every single second was breathtaking. Karen, You show so much love to others and have a way of making people feel at home on a boat i.
June 2024
Captain B & Karen, What a wonderful time we have had! I cannot imagine a better experience than what you provided. Karen - you are an amazing chef, everything was so delicious. You nailed it every meal. Captain B - we always felt safe and needed tended to. You are a wonderful pair! I will definitely be recommending you to others so don't be surprised when you start to see a lot of south Tampa guests, lol. Thank you again, our time here was exceeded our expectations for our first time on a cat.

Dear Captain B & Karen, I would have never imagined we could be so lucky finding Blue Pepper and meeting you both. You are the reason our trip has been so fabulous. You both will be in our memories forever. It has all felt so natural and comfortable. You are both so kind to us and each other. The way you accommodate each of us including a pregnant (surprise pregnant!) guest like me, was just so special and unforgettable. Thanks for also always laughing at our silly, mostly inappropriate comme.

December 2023
Dear B and K, Words cannot express how incredible the two of you made my birthday/what an experience of a lifetime! You guys are the most thoughtful and sweetest couple, and we are beyond lucky to have spent the last week with you! We have been so spoiled and it’ll definitely be hard to adjust back to reality/and land, ugh! Land pools will never be the same. Nor will regular bacon! I still will never understand how K worked her magic in that tiny kitchen plus broken freezer/it is truly wiza.
Incredible Birthday
B & K, Thank you for such an unforgettable experience! Few people can leave such an impression on our hearts, and I know we will never forget you! You both made the trip, so incredible. We are so grateful for all you did for us. It is so appreciated, thank you!! Until our paths cross again, we wish you all the best! You have to promise to visit us in San Diego. Love always, Jean & Nick .
Incredible Trip
Brendan and Karen, You guys are incredible and you made our lives so much better. A lot of firsts for us on this trip and you made them unforgettable. Our first sailing trip, first time snorkeling with Rowan and so much more. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. Rowan is especially appreciative and will never forget this trip. Please come visit us in San Diego and hopefully by then Rowan will be saying more than oh no! Dan & Bud .
November 2023
Brendan, I enjoyed our conversations of love ballads, pizza, milk, and raising our hands to speak. I respect your professionalism, and being a captain, and how you approach your craft. Hope to take you out one day on the bay in San Diego. Karen, the quality of your food and efficiency in packing and prepping for the week with the freezer down is unworldly. The little touches of edible flowers on your plating, saving the last sausages for the birthday girl and homemade breads did not go unnoti.
Fantastic Crew
Good Morning! Although I am so sad to be leaving today I am incredibly thankful to have crossed paths with such amazing individuals. How did we get so lucky? Your warmth, kindness and thoughtfulness has made our time here truly unforgettable. You’ve provided extraordinary hospitality plus exceptional service, (we’ve already jealous of your next sunset!)

Blue Pepper and the staff were the best! They blew away my expectations! The food was superb and the service is exceptional.

Not just because of the AMAZING food (way better than my moms), the delicious mocktails and being able to see beautiful sights.

I know I only met you a week ago, but it feels like I have known you guys for so much longer. I will mis.
New Years 2023
Captain B, Karen & Mariana, Wordscannot describe how great this trip was. Between the amazing meals, jokes, and all the cool activities you all provided us with The week could not have been better. Seriously, I do not know how you all put up with Towne and I's craziness, my dad's jokes, and much more. I think it is safe to say that Captain B is a better motor boats man than my dad, but don't tell him I said that. All 3 of you impressed me since day one. We are all beyond lucky to have had you.
New Years 2023
Thank you for giving us the vacation and experience of a lifetime. Your smiles, laughter, guidance and hospitality made it magical. Every time we sat around the table, we would try to decide which meal was better, as each one seemed to top the next and each persons favorite was different, so much so that Taylor wants to collaborate on a cookbook. And thank you for finding ways to make each person feel special. Taking Weston fishing on every part of the VI's (I'm so glad he caught on) to setting .
New Years 2023
Not sure where to begin. From the second we stepped on the boat, our expectations had already been impossibly high (you met my wife) have been exceeded in every way! Our family and the other we were with have been incredibly fortunate, enjoying a dozen amazing vacations together over the past several years. This trip has been, by far, with no close second, the single best vacation we have EVER had. The quality fun we've had with each other and especially our children is something no paren.
New Years 2023

The fabulous drink of the day to the abundance of delicious food - and that you managed to feed 4 teenage boys their endless food - quite the feat!

Thank you so much Branden and Karen for making this best family vacation. After two years of COVID it was great to have a wonderful family time.

We will always treasure our time with you!.

Brendan fell in love with sailing watching the 1983 America’s Cup in Newport (still jokes that he is upset that we lost that one) and fantasized of a life aboard a boat ever since. Growing up in New Hampshire, he spent as much time as possible either in or on the frigid water at his families summers house in Maine, learning and enjoying every moment away from dry land. Then he went off to college in Florida, chasing the warm weather and adventure he always dreamed of. He has always had a love for travel and scoured the travel magazines looking at the exotic lands and places he wanted to see and experience. As they say, life gets in the way sometimes and until a few years ago he would say “my international travel experience was pretty much limited to EPCOT!” Ha Ha. After a career in NYC mixing sound for Television and Film and then reconnecting with with his High School dream girl Karen (she was the super hot athletic girl, he was the dorkish A/V squad type) he decided there was no time like the present to make the most of life and make the move to Florida and then into the yachting world so he could show people the natural beauty and experiences of the Virgin Islands! Brendan loves meeting and entertaining new friends each charter and his Captain's drinks of the day are something to look forward to! He loves making drinks for his guests as it is a great time of the day to relax and enjoy friends and family while watching the sunset! Whether sailing or motoring to the next adventure, you will always find Brendan incredibly happy with a smile on his face. Brendan enjoys every minute of every day, living the life he dreamed of for so long, and truly appreciates even the smallest things that life has to offer. There is no doubt you will enjoy spending time with Brendan as he is so incredibly helpful and fun and makes people around him feel happy and special too.
Chef Karen Rogers
Karen grew up in New Hampshire and moved to Florida for college, following her love of athletics but mainly following her love of the warm weather. Her true passion for traveling blossomed in graduate school when her fellow students (who were from Europe) invited her over, and off she went living the backpack life! Eventually, her new career as a commercial real estate broker finally pulled her back home but it didn’t take her long to figure out that she could work and travel too! Whatever rainbow or fun adventure she was chasing, she always went back to Florida to work a little and spend time with her wonderful family. For years she lived and loved her extensive travels all over the world, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures and foods, so when the opportunity to work on a yacht came up in a conversation on a plane to Hungary, she was all in! She then found another perfect blend of what she loved in life…travel, food, adventures, and people! So, Karen started her career in yachting in Croatia where she began cooking for guests on their magical vacations. She creates delicious meals, snacks, and treats for her guests that make their spirits and their tummies happy! She has been honing her skills in the Virgin Islands for the past few years where she loves preparing delicious food for her guests and making sure they eat to their heart's content! After all of her travels around this amazing world, it is incredible that she reconnected with her high school friend, Brendan (who was almost literally the boy next door) and they started the next chapter of their lives together! You may never find another person like Karen in this amazing world, the combination of her magnetic smile and infectious laugh, incredible personality and love for people, animals, and nature will put a smile on your face for a long long time, even after you return from your vacation in paradise.
