  CAPTAIN JAGE

  Jage grew up in Scotland in the 70’s and 80’s. Having very mixed ancestry, he inherited an insatiable passion for the unknown and adventure. He began traveling to France at the age of 15 by hitchhiking. Drawn by the great mountains, oceans, and peoples of the world, he has traveled and worked on every continent since. I even took an old VW van and drove from Europe to Australia through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Asia.
  He has done many jobs, from a lowly kitchen hand in the Greek islands to a ski guide in the French Alps to a qualified construction worker in Australia. Eventually putting down roots in the French Alps and starting a construction business and a family, he pursued his dreams of becoming a sailor by qualifying as a captain in 2009 and buying his first yacht, “Nomad”.

  He then took his young family to experience the wonders of this world by sailing and voyaging all over the world, including the Seychelles, Thailand, Greece, Turkey, and the Caribbean. He settled for a while in Dominica and St Vincent and the Grenadines, where he began working in the yachting industry. He is a commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmaster and Dive Master with a huge respect for our oceans and all life in them.

  Loving the feeling and freedom of life on the water, he likes nothing more than to share that passion with others. Very much a fun-loving person, he enjoys meeting new people from all walks of life and having a good laugh. He has clocked up over 35,000 logged miles, including 3 ocean crossings, most recently in November 2024. He is also a qualified scuba Rescue Diver, Marine Engineer, Electrician, and Stone Mason (not much use on a yacht). He is fluent in English and French and also speaks Spanish. He is looking forward to making sure you have a truly unforgettable vacation.

  CHEF JANINE

  Janine is an adventurer at heart, equally drawn to the land and sea. She grew up in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, where she planned events for top South African bands and DJs. In her spare time, she could always be found on the beach pr spearfishing along the Wild Coast, cooking fresh fish, crayfish, mussels, or whatever she caught that day.
  A former national representative for Drum Majorettes, Janine was also part of “Friends of the Bull,” performing fire dancing for Red Bull – an experience that sharpened her ability to entertain.

  She studied Banqueting Management, Customer Relations, and Communications, receiving classical training with Blue Ribbon. Highly technical and hands-on, Janine has a logical mindset and a keen eye for detail.
  Her passion for cooking and event planning stems from her large Irish family, many of whom have worked in the hospitality industry in various capacities.

  In 2024, Janine moved to Cape Town, and in 2023, she completed a 42-day transatlantic sail from Cape Town to the British Virgin Islands aboard a 59-foot catamaran. She was introduced to yachting by her uncles and aunt, who have been in the industry, sparking her love for the profession.

  In her free time, Janine enjoys exploring, hiking, paddleboarding, creating art, and playing the ukulele. She takes pride in cooking wholesome food, infusing her African flavors into every dish she creates. Janine looks forward to expanding your culinary experience and looks forward to meeting you.

  Above and Beyond

  There are not enough words to express how much fun we had with you this week. You went above and beyond – attending our wedding & playing the Uke for my walk down the aisle, turning Sam into a mini bosun, playing liars dice many evenings, the list goes on…. We will cherish this trip for the rest of our lives and you two are a big part of that. Thank you for the laughs, the fun, the new experiences, and the memories. Thank you all for making our wedding week so special. We look forward to our paths crossing again one day (hopefully soon)! We will miss y’all dearly.”

  Incredible

  What an incredible week this has been! So much to celebrate starting with my birthday (best cake ever), Will’s first bonefish, conch diving and so much more! You both have been such a huge, integral part of our positive memories from this trip – it wouldn’t have been the same without you! Thank you for all that you did behind the scenes, I bet it is not easy but it doesn’t go unnoticed. We had so much fun getting to know you, laugh with you, play games with you, and be ourselves around you! Until next time, Do More, Say Less!!”

Your hospitality skills are off the charts. Who else but this dynamic duo could handle our group with such finesse.

  Perfect Trip

  Creating lifelong memories is a special treasure that so many of us take for granted until it is too late. However, the week we spent on Barefeet Retreat with Captain and Chef will always hold a special place in our hearts and our entire group is excited to be back on the boat with them again in the future. When a trip ends with genuine hugs and tears, that sums up that not only did everyone very much enjoy themselves, but we all made a special lifelong bond that cannot be forgotten. The cuisine and special beverages would rival any fine restaurant, however the hospitality from them make the trip even more special. Let me tell you, these two worked hard the entire trip to make everything perfect for us, but they always were enjoying themselves, had smiles on their faces and had this contagious positive view on life that continues to resonate with us. These two special people are making the world a better place purely from being in it and spreading their infectious positivity to everyone who is around them. The boat’s layout was perfect, the beds were comfortable, everything was immaculate and clean and with scenic background accompanied with our new found family made for a perfect trip that we will never forget and hope to duplicate soon.

  Roomy Enough For 10

  The crew were fabulous. They exuded warmth and friendliness and made all of us feel most welcome onboard. We fell in love with them! We felt completely at ease with both crew members. It was readily apparent they knew what they were doing. Considering there were 10 guests and just two crew members, the service was outstanding. They worked tirelessly to insure we never lacked for anything. They were unfailingly pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful. The chef served so many delicious and varied meals (and oh, so much food) that our eyes popped – shortly before our stomachs! Everything was delicious. The captain took them tubing on two occasions and they snorkeled throughout the trip. The noodles were most welcomed by the adults. Our satisfaction was High, high, high. The catamaran was roomy enough for 10 and I can vouch for the ample size of our shower. Everything on board was quite comfortable.

  Bucket List Trip

  Thank you so much for making our first charter boat trip and first trip to the Virgin Islands so awesome! We enjoyed relaxing in the sun, swimming in the beautiful blue waters, the great food and cocktails! We appreciate your gracious hospitality and knowledge of the islands. This was a bucket list item for us, and it was wonderful! The magic tricks and playing “cards against humanity” with you was a bonus!
