CAPTAIN Kevin Simmons & CAPTAIN/CHEF Cheryl Simmons
Kevin, or KDog as he's known to family and friends, enjoys entertaining guests and ensuring they have a fabulous experience aboard Sun Goddess. Every day brings an opportunity for new experiences. Guests appreciate his guidance and assistance fitting their snorkel gear, helping them feel comfortable with snorkeling - many for the first time. He often snorkels with the guests, guiding them to the best spots and pointing out turtles, fish and various aquatic life. He's also the "Coordinator of Fun" setting out couch floats and chairs, paddle boards,pulling guests in the tube behind the dinghy, hanging up the hammock for guests to lounge in, and making arrangements on the bow for guests to enjoy sleeping under the clear star-filled sky. Kevin loves history and can often be found readingabout events that took place hundreds of years ago in the Caribbean islands. He imagines how difficult it was for sailors before engines, charts and GPS were available, and delights in entertaining guests with pirate stories! Captain KDog looks forward to sharing his adventurous nature with you, and who knows, you might just find a buried treasure!
Cheryl has a passion for hosting family, friends and guests, and what better place than the spectacular, crystal blue waters of the Caribbean! She was rated as a Super Host for their Virginia Beach Airbnb home and has transferred her knack for details to hosting guests aboard Sun Goddess. While living in Virginia, she started a small catering company which gave her an additional outlet to showcase her love of cooking and entertaining. During the Summer 2024 break, Cheryl studied with author and culinary educator Sara Ciliberto of "The Unexpected Kitchen" fame, and looks forward to preparing some scrumptious new recipes for guests! Whether you're planning a vacation to celebrate a special event or a relaxing island get-away from work, Cheryl welcomes the opportunity to feed your soul with delicious meals and make your trip aboard Sun Goddess a memorable one.
Here's a favorite quote we love from Paulo Coelho:
"One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now!"
So let's go! Book with Sun Goddess now and we'll show you how to live for moments you can't put into words, and memories to last a lifetime!

This was our first trip to the BVI, and we had such an amazing time twith Captains Cheryl and K-Dog that we are already planning another trip with family and friends! Sun Goddess is spacious, clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. Our captains took us to so many fun places and were thoughtful in advance planning to avoid crowds, particularly at The Baths. A highlight of our trip was Anegada. We spent 2 days there, went on Sherwin's Reef Tour and were treated to freshly made conch ceviche afterwards, and toured the island in a moke. We ate out a few times to experience the local cuisine which was great, but agreed our meals onboard prepared by Cheryl were the best!! Looking forward to a return trip!!

Sailing with K-dog and Cheryl on Sun Goddess should be put on top of your bucket list! We came as strangers and left as family. Everyday they provided us with a fantastic adventure perfectly suited for our active group. K-Dog’s stories kept us laughing and Cheryl’s culinary skills and presentation were better than a 5-star restaurant!<br />
We had an incredible time exploring, snorkeling, hiking and laughing the entire trip.<br />

We had an absolutely amazing 8 day charter adventure on Sun Goddess sailing around the British Virgin Islands with Captains Cheryl & K-dog! Plenty of snorkeling, hiking and exploring various spots. The accommodations on the Sun Goddess were so comfortable and we had the ability to spread out throughout the week. One of the highlights of the week was the spectacular meals that were prepared by Cheryl and grill master K-dog. We hope to replicate some of them back home. We are already talking about coming back with our immediate family. Thanks Sun Goddess for a lovely week that we will never forget!<br />
