Capt. Jonny Rorech
Born and raised on the Atlantic seaboard of the US, Capt. Johnny has always had a fascination with sailing, pirates, and all things nautical. His dream of sailing grew out of seeing his uncle skipper a boat for over 30 years in the Bahamas and Virgin Islands. The fond memories of his Uncle always returning on home on his motorcycle, with a deep dan and a different bohemian blonds on his arm, inspired Johnny to take up sailing professionally. As a long-time nomadic filmmaker and underwater astronaut, Capt. J. Blue has spent the last 7 years working and traveling around South East Asia, immersing himself in new cultures and always ready to try new things. Formerly, an entrepreneur, Capt. Johnny Blue has now ventured into the deep blue unknown, traveling where the wind takes him and seeking new adventures on the horizon.
Cutting his teeth in the sailing industry, while living and working in Phuket, Thailand, Johnny instructed others on this passion, while simultaneously running charters on various catamarans and monohulls, in the beautiful and breathtaking Phang Gna Bay in the Andaman Sea. After 3 year working in Phuket as a captain in Phuket, Johnny decided to take a stint in the Mediterranean, captaining a 49’ sailboat throughout the quintessentially Greek islands of the Dodecanese. Following a season there, Johnny delivered a Bali 5.4 across the Atlantic during peak hurricane season, before coming to the Caribbean to work for a company is the USVI’s. This is now his 2nd season in the Virgins Islands, and he is looking forward to many more to come. He continues to be passionate about teaching sailing to anyone that wants to learn and documenting the wonders of traveling through his educational YouTube travel channel.
