Your Crew

CAPTAIN Mike Marier & CHEF Julie Marier


Mike and Julie met soon after high school and have been inseparable ever since. While raising their family, Mike & Julie took family vacations up north which always meant time on water boating, fishing, skiing, biking and lots of great memories with the family. They also traveled to tropical destinations to escape the cold winter months. When they took a family trip to the Virgin Islands, they knew they would be back for good at some point. They bought a sailboat in Florida after their family was raised, spent time there and made the jump to come back to the islands after selling their home and everything they owned in 2019. They have run successful charters in the Virgin Islands ever since.

Mike grew up in the land of 10,000 lakes and took full advantage of as many opportunities as he could to hit the lakes. As a boy and young man he spent many summers up north at the family cabin taking advantage of all water sports. It’s here that Mike developed his love of being on the water.
Mike has been an entrepreneur most of his life and has, along with Julie run a personal training business, owned a fitness center and worked in the oil fields. In his free time, Mike enjoys working out, reading and 'wrenching' on things. Mike looks forward to showing his guests a great time and all the amazing experiences the islands have to offer.

Julie’s passion for cooking began long before she stepped into a professional galley. Raised between the lakes of Minnesota and the coastline of California, she grew up with a deep appreciation for both the ocean and the simple joy of creating meals that bring people together. Some of her earliest and fondest memories are of cooking alongside her mother, learning to work with fresh ingredients and to approach every dish with care, creativity, and heart.

Her culinary foundation continued to evolve as she refined her technique, expanded her flavor repertoire, and strengthened her commitment to thoughtful, ingredient‑driven cuisine.
With more than six years of experience as a charter yacht chef, Julie has become known for crafting meals that elevate the onboard experience. She loves sourcing fresh, local ingredients and designing menus that balance comfort with elegance — from familiar favorites prepared with finesse to beautifully plated dishes tailored to each guest’s tastes and dietary needs.

For Julie, food is a way of creating connection. Every meal is an opportunity to celebrate the moment, spark conversation, and help guests make memories that linger long after their charter ends. When she’s not in the galley, Julie enjoys crocheting, staying active, and savoring the small joys of everyday life. She looks forward to welcoming you aboard and sharing her love of food, hospitality, and the magic of dining at sea.

Mike and Julie hope to help others create lasting lifetime memories in their dream destination.
