Captain Jake, Chef Stef and Parker,
What an amazing week we had getting too know you and Parker. This is a vacation like no other. It was a week of beautiful weather, fabulous food and very zen vibe. It wasn’t rushed, chaotic or stressful. A true barefoot vacation…my feet don’t remember shoes. Entry back into real life will be a shock to our systems.
Thank you for the memories and great food, but most of all sharing Parker with us. Jane & Paul
Stef, Jake an Parker-
Where to begin? What to say that hasn’t already been said by everyone that has the privilege and true pleasure to sail with you guys! What an epic vacation for our little family.

There are countless gratitudes for your efforts for a most enjoyable vacation. Your attention to every detail, boat wise and creature comfort wise made the experience one beyond compare.

Thank you is not enough to say for such a glorious week. We hope to meet again one day, and we will always remember your gracious.
Our family truly enjoyed our time on the Dragonfly over the New Year’s week. From the moment we arrived, the space felt comfortable and exactly what we hoped, It was the perfect setting to welcome the new year and enjoy each other’s company.
Jake and Stef are wonderful hosts. Their care and attention to detail were evident throughout our stay. Captain Jake was very knowledgeable about the area and was fantastic when it came to scuba diving. Stef is an incredible cook &.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday week. We loved everything about the charter and really appreciate your flexibility accommodating the boys dates. It was super fun and definitely exceeded our expectations. Thank you for helping make it a memorable & perfect vacation! From the delicious: amazing food, the snorkeling, paddle-boarding, island exploring, etc., it was perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better time & experience, one we will always remember… and ended perfectly w/the mos.
Jake & Stef –
This is a terrible time to write this, because I’m so unhappy about leaving! 😥 However, thinking back on this trip brings such joy. From sharing this type of trip with lifelong friends and sharing it with you two, to the greatest adventures, this trip tops the charts for me. The conversations were fabulous, stories hilarious, and adventure exciting.
Some of my favorite moments were:

Jake, Stephanie & Parker,
When can we come back?!? Thank you so much for the best vacation we’ve taken. We couldn’t have imagined how awesome this would be.
We will see you again soon—hopefully with friends and family next time.
Thanks especially for the gourmet meals, the diving excursions, and the incredible hospitality.
Until we meet again,
Michelle and Matt
P.S. Give Parker extra snuggles for us. ❤️

Thank you for all of the wonderful memories, meals, laughs and fun! We can’t wait to come back! Favorite memory is when we got the e-foil out. Thank you for certifying us to dive! .
Parker made a difference!
Stef and Jake, from the bottom of our hearts — THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!
You guys are amazing human beings, an amazing couple, and the best crew ever.
You both gave us the best, you gave us love, and you made things happen. ❤️
Food was incredible, rooms were super clean, spectacular catamaran, service was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In only one week we got to know you guys and like you a lot.
We feel love and respect. Honestly on.
I am so glad we chose DRAGONFLY for our our inaugural catamaran charter vacation. The size of the boat and accommodations were perfect. Jake and Steph are absolutely delightful. The food was phenomenal. My favorite part of the experience was the diving. There were beautiful and fun things to see (some surprises too), but the absolute best part was the convenience of diving right off the boat. The trip was perfect."

Wow! What a week! “Thank you” seems inadequate.
From the moment we connected at our meeting spot, you made us feel like family! Every detail was planned and well thought out. Our food was amazing, table scapes beautiful, and you made sure we did nothing but relax and enjoy ourselves. Our coffee and lattes were handed to us first thing in the morning, gourmet food served, island hopping, fishing, a friendly game of Farkle, and even our drinks were made and delivered WITH love. .
This week was amazing! I have had the blessing of traveling a lot, but this one goes down as one of the best in our life. The Dragonfly is an amazing yacht – definitely a five star experience! Stef & Jake are some of the most amazing, caring, chill, friendly people who are now called friends. You are the reason that our week was so fabulous. We will never forget the delicious food and your attitude of service!
Thank you for making your guests a priority. You are great examples o.
What an amazing week on the Dragonfly! Yes, the sun, ocean and time in the BVI was awesome, but the best part was the amazing service and hospitality from Capt. Jake and Chef Stef. We so appreciate our time and fabulous vacation on the Dragonfly! Thank you, we’ll be back!

CREW REVIEW from previous yacht
5 star review!!
Best crew ever! We were totally spoiled with Jake and Stephanie and will not be satisfied with anything less in the future. We will be repeating with Jake and Stephanie in 2026!
We just finished fabulous charter with 2 other friends this past April 2024. This was our dream trip and was a so more than we anticipated.
We went to bays and be the only boat in the bay. Perfect trip. Jake and Stef we.
"It was a fabulous experience and one I would love to repeat.
For me the crew, the boat and the service were exceptional…and the food was incredible!
Was reluctant and sad to leave!"
.
My wife and I, together with our four teenage boys, booked a week aboard Dragonfly with Dave, Val and Marcus. It was, in a word, magical. It was a perfect getaway for our family. The boat is wonderful, with lots of space for everyone to move around and to each have their own lounge areas. The catamaran was even big enough for us to have two of the kids have their own rooms, which was a big help to keep the fighting to a minimum.
Dave is a true expert in the BVI and knew the be.
2nd Trip better than the first! CREW REVIEW from previous yacht
Thank you for making this trip so memorable! As you know, we knew we'd want to spend more time here to share this spectacular experience with our kids and their friends...and so we DID!
I had really only 2 goals for this trip in mind: learn to scuba for myself and have the kids learn to scuba dive as a lifelong hobby. Thank you Captain Jake for taking such good care of Clint & PM & for me as wel.
Guys Trip- CREW REVIEW from previous yacht
We spent a week led by the power duo of Jake and Stefanie. They love what they do and one can easily tell. Jake is the guy who should have been in the “Most Interesting Man in the World” Dos Equis commercials but was too busy sailing a boat, catching spiny lobsters, and folding napkins in the shape of a rose.
Stef is the Martha Stewart of the seas; a solid chef with a keen eye for everyone’s needs, but will also .
We had an amazing charter and the most memorable vacation ever! I would strongly recommend using Chef Stef and Captain Jake and their boat.
We were sure to give ALL of our dietary restrictions to chef Stef and she was more than accommodating. Our call before the charter was so helpful and we were able to explain our extra needs (we have a type 1 son).
On charter - SO much fun. I really appreciated the cleanliness of the boat and crew, the attention to detail, and the hospitality..
We will never forget all the memories made on the sea! - CREW REVIEW from previous yacht
Captain Jake & Chef Stef,
Thank you for sharing your home and your love and knowledge of this beautiful place with us for the past 7 days. It has been a once in a lifetime trip for our family!
From snorkelling in water so blue it looks like it can't be real, to amazing sunsets, to delicious meals and smooth sails - it has been the perfect adventure for us.
Thank you .

Thank you so much for opening your home to us for our Caribbean adventure.

Extra special 40th Birthday - CREW REVIEW from previous yacht
Where can I begin. My wife wanted to do something special for her birthday. We had all kinds of ideas and plans, however she wanted to do something extra special. She happened upon private charter boats and stumbled into Dreamcatcher. From the very beginning, Stef and Jake were prompt in their email replies and responses answering all the important questions as well as the ignorant ones since we had never done anything.

We had the most amazing trip thanks to Captain Jake and Chef Stef. They were perfect hosts, made us all feel welcome during our time with them, and were super fun to hang out with.

Both were attentive, patient, and made us laugh. We can&.
The Gray Christmas Vacation - CREW REVIEW from previous yacht
Dear Stef & Jake,
This was hands down the best vacation I've ever been on, and I'm sure it will be tough to beat, unless we come back. We were welcomed into your home and guests, but I feel like you guys were long-lost family. I've never had so much fun and made so many memories in one trip. All of the activities were amazing. From the diving to eating, I'm leaving more spoiled than ever. There were beautifu.
"How do we thank you for such an amazing week? Your description is spot on, because we really do feel like y’all are part of the family now.
Thank you for a week of ridiculous food. My children would never eat those items for me. Quote of the week, “Stef has better spices”. I’m not kidding when I say you should write a cookbook! I would buy your first copy. I hope my kiddos will continue to eat well at home. I’m inspired!
You all created so many won.
Last minute Christmas Miracle - CREW REVIEW FROM PREVIOUS YACHT

Captain Jake
Captain Jake’s affable good nature, easy-going personality, and caring demeanor have earned him lifelong friends and loyal returning guests. A USCG Master Captain (100-ton) and PADI Dive Instructor, Jake brings deep experience and boundless enthusiasm to every charter aboard SV Dragonfly.
Before life at sea, he was a licensed General Contractor and Real Estate Broker in California, as well as a Master Carpenter, cabinetmaker, and boat builder, skills he put to good use volunteering in Sint Maarten after Hurricane Irma. A natural athlete and lifelong adventurer, Jake played championship rugby with the Highwaymen Rugby Club and still channels that same team spirit into his crew and guests.
Born in Pittsburgh, PA, raised near Atlanta, GA, and later moving to California, Jake jokes that his “progressive spirit mixed with southern charm” makes him a captain who can fix, build, and laugh his way through anything. He loves sharing his passion for the Caribbean, especially underwater, and believes that kindness, curiosity, and connection make the best voyages.
“We live on this boat and consider it our home. We want our guests to feel the same, to relax, to laugh, and to be part of our life for a while.”
Welcome to paradise aboard SV Dragonfly!
Chef Stef
Chef Stef doesn’t just cook, she creates experiences. Her dishes celebrate the beauty of fresh, local ingredients and the joy of gathering around a shared table. To Stef, great food is about more than flavor, it’s about connection, comfort, and celebration.
Raised on a farm in Santa Rosa, California, Stef grew up cooking alongside her Nona, parents, and siblings, learning the art of slow, heartfelt, farm-to-table meals. That passion now shines through every plate she serves on Dragonfly, from her braised beef short ribs in red-wine ragu with pimento-cheese grits to her famous Peruvian chicken with fragrant green rice and vibrant green sauce.
Beyond the galley, Stef is an expert first mate, certified dive master, and warm, intuitive hostess. Whether guiding a guest through their first dive or sharing a favorite recipe, her energy fills Dragonfly with laughter and warmth.
Come hungry, come happy, and let Chef Stef feed your soul, one unforgettable meal at a time.
Jake & Stef
Together for more than 16 years and married for 10, Jake and Stef bring an effortless partnership to every charter. They worked side-by-side in Northern California before following their shared dream to the Virgin Islands, where hospitality, kindness, and adventure now define their life aboard SV Dragonfly.
They’ve been sailing and hosting in the Caribbean for more than seven years, and the 2025/2026 season marks their seventh year bringing unforgettable luxury charters to life.
They have a blended family of three grown children—a daughter (29) in Seattle, a son (26) in Southern California, and the youngest son (23) in Northern California—and are proud grandparents to two grandsons, ages 7 and the newest addition born in May 2025. During their off-season, they travel the U.S. in their 5th-wheel RV, visiting family and friends.
When they’re not hosting guests, you’ll find them diving, visiting fellow crews, or exploring hidden coves with Parker. Their favorite saying:
“We’re happiest when we’re underwater.”
Security & Cuddle Officer Parker
Meet Parker, Dragonfly’s beloved 35-lb Portuguese Water Dog and “Security & Cuddle Officer.” At just five years old, Parker has already made more than 450 guest friends! With hair instead of fur, he’s hypoallergenic and non-shedding, the perfect onboard companion.
Boat-trained since he was 9 weeks old, Parker never goes potty on the boat. He has scheduled dinghy rides to shore each day for potty breaks and loves the adventure. He also enjoys paddle-boarding, beach walks, and, of course, supervising snacks. Ever the vigilant “lifeguard,” he keeps a close eye on guests in the water and ensures everyone stays safe and smiling. His gentle nature and joyful spirit bring comfort and laughter to all who meet him.
From Parker: “I love treats, kind people, kids of all ages, and other dogs. I hope to bring you as much happiness and comfort on charter as your pets do at home.”
Whether lounging on deck or swimming by your side, Parker embodies the heart of Dragonfly: loyal, playful, and full of love.
