So Authentic!
Best trip ever! Second time sailing in the VI’s but this crew made all the difference! Captain Jenine was accommodating on the sailing route but we let her take the lead and were not disappointed. From the snorkeling, floating, water scooters, hiking lunch at the floating boats (Pizza Pi and lime out) shopping in Cruz Bay, sunset at the Windmill Bar, and the little casino we discovered.there was plenty to do but a lot of relaxing and games with kids. Every meal Chef Luka made us was AMAZING…

St. Thomas around the Virgin Gorda and back. This was our first experience in the BVI’s and our first sailing trip as a family. From the moment we stepped on the boat it felt like a 5-star resort with incredible scenery, once in a lifetime memories, thoughtful attention and meals that made us say “This is Amazing!” over and over again. We visited so many places along our sail and had a new and fun experience at every stop. The mornings were almost surreal with warm sunshine, perfectly ne.
“This is Amazing” Over and Over!
Thank you so much for making this escape as sweet as we all imagined. We enjoyed every beach spot, meal and sunsets. Thank you for always being on top of every detail and being so flexible when we changed our route. Love you guys!! The trip would have not been the same without THE BEST crew..
Escape
What an amazing week aboard Salty Dog! We all enjoyed our stops and exploring. The kids loved tubing with Capt. Gordon. Jenine’s meals were divine and definitely Kristen’s highlight of the trip. We hope to come back! ——————————————— Sailing on the Salty Dog wa such a fun birthday trip. Spending my birthday at Soggy Dollar was great but facials at Scrub island was 100% my favorite. So lucky to go on this trip..
Enjoyed Exploring!
Thank you Gordon and Jenine for being such wonderful hosts on the Salty Dog. You created a warm and relaxing atmosphere during our week aboard. The accommodations were great and the food was consistently AMAZING! This was a wonderful week of time with family, ocean, breezes, clear waters, and awesome sunsets.
Wonderful Hosts
What an amazing week. Where you book a charter you do your best to make it a great vacation i.e. location, boat, agenda, travel but at the end of the day it comes down to the crew. hands down Gordon and jenine are the best in the business. patient, kind, attentive with ……. it is the little things that also impact the trip, teaching a son to tie a knot or stepping aboard to amazing turkey paninis or teaching “Mexican Train”. Gordon and Jenine are also so knowledgeable of the business a.
You Two Are Amazing!
We had a wonderful experience with Gordon and Jenine. This trip was a surprise honeymoon for my husband and I, from his best man. We started in St. Thomas and made our way to Caneel Bay where we jumped in the ocean and ate a lovely dinner at Zozo’s. The next day we left St. John and headed to Tortola for customs and on to Norman Island. We snorkeled the Indians, jumped off Willy T’s and spent the night. Before sailing to Coopers, we got to explore The Caves and the next stop was The Bat.
Surprise Honeymoon
Joe and Ashley got married on St John earlier in the week and we celebrated their wedding gift on Salty Dog for 5 days. We were so blessed to have such an amazing time with Gordon and Jenine. Amazing captain cocktail hour and Jenine’s fabulous meals. They really were great company and made every minute enjoyable. Very sad to have to leave but we will be coming back to sail with Gordon and Jenine on Salty Dog to finish seeing teh rest of the islands. Such an incredible once in a lifetime .
Sad to Leave
What a FANTASTIC week in paradise! We covered a lot of ground and had so many favorites along the way. The kids especially enjoyed snorkeling, tubing with Gordon. The Pirate Show conch blowing contest and the fun limbo, dance night at Potter By The Sea in Anegada. It is hard for 15 and 14 year olds to be impressed and I am certain they had a great time! Personal favs of the week for me were the beautiful beaches, snorkeling and finding live conch shells and the green helmet shell I found (o.
Never Stay At A Resort Again!
The sun was shining. The wind was breezy. The food was delish. Thank you so much Jenine and Gordon for this amazing trip and the memories I will forever have!.
Sun Shining – Breezy -Delish
What an amazing spring break trip. Out two families could not have asked for a better week. We started in St. Thomas and made our way around the BVI’s. Thank you Captain Gordon and Chef Jenine fo an amazing experience. The food was incredible and everything was planned out perfectly. We hope to be back sooner than later. We love the BVI’s – the beautiful scenery, the hospitality and the fun!.
We Love The BVI’s
We could not have asked for 2 better weeks aboard the beautiful Salty Dog! From perfect weather to the smooth sailing and unbelievable food. I wouldn’t change a thing, well, maybe I’d add on a couple of nights but that’s it!! I’ve waited nearly 25 years since my last trip and it was a dream to sail the BVI’s again…with my family! Gordon and Jenine, you delivered a perfect trip, a balance of relaxation and adventure. Our girls will never forget it. So very grateful!.
A Balance of Relaxation and Adventure
My family plus 2 friends just spent a week in the BVI on Salty Dog. We were all looking forward to the week but the week itself blew away our expectations. This was by far our best vacation ever! It’s almost impossible not to have a beautiful vacation int he VI, but the siling experience made our vacation exponentially better…..this is largely in part because of the hard work and hospitality of Gordon and Jenine. It is a huge responsibility to care for 7 people. Gordon and Jenine know a.
Blew Away Our Expectations
We could not have had a better week aboard the Salty Dog! We made memories that will last a lifetime. Gordon and Jenine made our family, spanning ages 6-64 feel extremely comfortable and pampered all week. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the boat was amazing, the sights/excursions were amazing, and the company we shared was amazing. Gordon and Jenine quickly became extended family members which made saying goodbye more difficult. If you are on the fence about booking .
Will Never Regret It!!
Thank you Gordon and Jenine for a perfect Virgin Islands getaway. Besides arranging for perfect weather so that we could experience 100 degree F increase in temperature upon arrival in STT, you knocked it out of the park with kind hospitality, conversations, spectacular meals and yummy cocktails. We were all craving a week of sun, aqua water, beautiful coral and fish, yum food, relaxation and new adventures. We got it all and can’t thank you enough..
Knocked It Out Of The Park
Gordon and Jenine are fantastic hosts. We were blessed with beautiful weather, the sun, kind service of our hosts. We are spoiled and it will be hard to find any restaurant to compare with the food (and food presentation) we were fed – this in every meal. Thank you.
Fantastic Hosts!
Another truly amazing trip with an AMAZING crew. Gordon and Jenine – You are the BEST. Thanks for letting us celebrate Gordon’s birthday with you. Food was great. we’re going home to FAT CAMP :)) We will miss you. You’re part of the family..
You Are the BEST!
From the start to the finish this trip was truly AMAZING. Getting to see so many new and beautiful places. I can’t really pick which one was my favorite. The crew was so impressive. Just want to thank them for their willingness to help us with whatever we needed..
So Impressive!
What a fantastic experience – again!! The itinerary was so much fun this time as we got to go to The Baths! Thanks to the crew on Salty Dog for taking good care of us..
Good Care Of Us
I had a great time. This trip was loads of fun and great food. I enjoyed The Baths and the snorkeling. Thanks so much for everything. Great trip and great crew. Hope to come back again sometime..
Loads Of Fun
We truly had a wonderful time! Thanks to the care of Jenine and Gordon. We wait all year long to come and visit the islands and hope it’s as magical as we remember, and having a team like Gordon and Jenine is a gift!!! They helped us create new memories by offering great ideas and suggestions for little adventures. I loved the champagne on the beach and the snorkeling adventure of Great Dog with the water scooters. But most of all I could feel the genuine care they put into making the ent.
The Crews Intergrity, Ease and Grace!
We had a lovely 4 night trip up the Drake Channel from St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda. Captain Gordon and Chef Jenine were amazing!! We hit all our favorite snorkel spots along the way – Caneel Bay, Waterlemon Cay, The Indians, Peter, Great Dog and Eustacia, and we even got to play with the water toys. We loved the underwater scooter. Thank you Captain Gordon and Jenine for the suggestion!!!! The food was first rate! Jenine is an amazing chef and we felt like we ate like gourmands every day! .
Gordon and Jenine were Amazing!
Guest’s email to broker post charter. “Would love to do a follow up call this next week! It will go without saying but honestly I do not think our trip could have been any better! Salty Dog was amazing and Gordon and Jenine truly went above and beyond and everything they did was perfect! They were freaking amazing!!! ” .
Broker Review
Trip of a Lifetime for sure. We were so blessed to have the opportunity to spend 7 nights aboard Salty Dog! Jenine and Gordon were great and by the end of the week we felt like we were all on vacation together. The meals were phenomenal and the hospitality was endless. We definitely will cross paths again and hope to be back on the Salty Dog real soon!! Thanks for being amazing!.
Thanks For Being Amazing!
As we near the end of our one week journey, it’s difficult to say what we’ve enjoyed most. I suppose for us we will miss the friends we’ve made first. Gordon and Jenine have done a fantastic job of welcoming us and providing outstanding service as captain and chef/first mate. Our food has been incredible and we’ve been spoiled by the quality, care and presentation for each meal. I could have never imagined a vacation like this was even an option. The islands and sea are beautiful and every day.
Will Never Forget Our Trip.
Wow!! From start to finish our trip on the Salty Dog was amazing. Our trip with guests spanning 3 generations had something for everyone – one favorite was seeing turtles in Maho Bay and everyone enjoyed snorkeling with the colorful fish. Waterlemon, Salt Pond and Lameshur were beautiful and secluded and the hikes had great views! A true highlight was meeting our Captain , Gordon, and chef, Jenine! We so appreciated their companionship and conversation as well as guidance, kindness and humou.
Salty Dog Was Amazing!
Gordon and Jenine made our very first boating/sailing experience beyond anything we could have ever imagined. So gracious, friendly, accommodating. So patient with our learning to snorkel and with our few physical limitations. Always suggesting alternatives so that we would enjoy the full experience of the week. Fabulous food, great conversation, lovely table settings and each meal was a particularly pleasant and delightful touch. Blessed to have shared all this with our daughter-in-law .
Fun, Wonderful Times

CHEF: Ludeke (Luka) Niehaus
Nick has been closely connected to water his entire life, growing up on a small island on Lake Superior. He started driving boats at age 11 and has been in love with cruising waves ever since. He went on to get his captain’s license and began guiding tours in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on power boat and kayak trips, eventually moving on to sailing charters.
In the off-season Nick would often escape on his sailboat seeking warmer waters; completing the Great Loop and twice sailing to Cuba and the Bahamas. He has more recently captained 40 + yacht charters in the Virgin Islands since 2022.
Living and working on the water provides the trifecta of endless novelty, challenges and rewards. For Nick there’s no better way to keep life simple yet interesting at every turn, to slow life down and fill it up. Captaining has allowed Nick to meet and share life with people all over the world and he loves to bring his excitement for life to every charter he captains in the USVI.
Ludeke grew up in a nature conservancy near Gqeberha, a small coastal city in South Africa. From a young age, he was passionate about nature and water-sports, excelling in water polo and open-water swimming. Daily cooking has been a significant part of Ludeke’s life since his teenage years, evolving into a profound passion that encompasses sourcing the finest and freshest ingredients and crafting delicious and visually captivating dishes from different cultures.
After school, Ludeke earned a Cordon Bleu Diploma from Silwood School of Cookery in Cape Town, an award-winning institution recognised by the Commandery of the Cordon Bleu of France. His culinary education included rigorous industry training at some of the world’s top restaurants, such as The Test Kitchen, Pot Luck Club, Salsify, Beau Constantia, and Chef’s Warehouse. This foundation fueled his goal to explore and experience diverse cuisines in their countries of origin.
Following his culinary training, Ludeke lectured and mentored chefs-in-training at Silwood. He also launched his bespoke chef venture, The Messy Chef Collective, providing private chef services. Despite the success of his venture, Ludeke missed the outdoors and the ocean, prompting him to combine his two passions and his goal to travel by becoming a chef in the yachting industry.
After obtaining his maritime qualifications, Ludeke worked as a qualified sole chef and deckhand on various vessels. His dedication to both his innovative culinary skills and maritime expertise ensures that he brings a unique blend of talents to enhance guest experiences.
