Crew Profile
Growing up among the mountains and lakes in the resort town of Whitefish, Montana, Jake has always loved the outdoors and being on the water. Always exploring, Jake moved east for his undergrad at Georgetown University, studied abroad in Budapest, and after graduating with a business degree, headed for the hustle of New York City. After taking a sailing vacation in the Caribbean, Jake was inspired to continue his passion on the water and he left his desk job behind to pursue sailing and diving full time! Jake has now chartered guests throughout the Virgin Islands, Croatia, and Italy and attained his Divemaster Certification in Portugal. Jake is excited to continue sailing in the Caribbean creating amazing experiences and unforgettable memories with his guests. When not sailing, you’ll find Jake exploring new places and cultures, mountain biking, golfing, skiing, playing soccer, and eating as many new foods as he can find along the way
Also from Montana, Mackenzie studied at the University of Oregon before trading in her small town roots for an array of passport stamps from around the globe. She’s spent time learning in restaurants in Australia, Vietnam, and France and held onto the cuisines from every culture. Before working in the Mediterranean, Mackenzie was managing a high end beach club in Bali, where she dealt directly with guests and staff from around the world, providing exceptional service to her clientele. She now combines her love of cooking with her love of life on the water with her guests. Mackenzie has chartered in the BVIs, the USVIs, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Florida, and the Bahamas. She earned her Divemaster certification from Portugal, and now gives her guests another way to explore the beautiful Caribbean waters. She loves to connect with her guests and show them a truly unique holiday, and knows that with the help of her dynamite captain Jake, everyone will walk away with some amazing memories.

March 2021 USVI Charter
Thank you for a fantastic week in paradise! Mat loved the snorkeling in Warerlemon, I loved the Maho Bay hike, the kids loved Cinnamon Beach snorkeling and all the gaming. Camden will remember all the Monopoly and Dominoes. The food was fantastic and the rum punch and bushwhackers were superb! We will be back unless we buy our own boat. Thank you for the best family vacation. -Ursula and MatApril 23rd 2021 USVI Charter
Tom and Hannah, What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sailing expertise, and hospitality with us. We enjoyed the USVI. there are now words to describe the week we had with you both! To the best captain and chef ever! We will never forget any of it. Keep in touch! Thank youApril 2021 USVI Charter
Wow-how do we even put into words what this trip has been for us. Our expectations were incredibly high an they were constantly exceeded. Thank you for an amazing week. Not sure what was the best part-the food, the drinks, the laughs, the great vistas? Thankfully the only casualty was one apple watch. Not sure how we can ever top this trip. Thank you Tom and Hannah for making this all that it has been! Love Kyle and Brooke We are at a loss for words to adequately capture how amazing this trip has been! Hannah and Tom went above and beyond to make this our best vacation ever! Gourmet food, beautiful bays, unimaginable rainbows, peanut butter bushwhackers and the best gin fizz ever. snorkeling with seat turtles, sunrises and sunsets, best Kentucky Derby party with caribbean hats to boot. All of it was so fun and special. Even a torrential down pour at Lime Out was fun! Thank you for an amazing vacation. Out hearts (and tummies!) are full. We leave rested and relaxed and hoping to do it again. -Rachel and RobertJune 2021 USVI Charter
Hi guys! If you are reading this know we miss you tons! You guys were the absolute best! The food and drinks and activities were fun-but what we enjoyed most was your company! You are both such kind, interesting, and fun people and I'm so lucky that we booked with you! We must go diving in Truks or skiing in Jackson Hole together! I will always remember your family and I hope this not the last time we meet. Love Always KaleighJuly 2021 USVI Charter
Toma nd Hannah How can we begin to thank you for giving us this amazing, beautifull, memorable, perfect vacation? We will always remember the two of you and the week on Karma. We loved the FOOD, the two of you, the perfect spots you chose, tubing, hiking, shopping, and the snorkeling. Your hospitality was over the top. We are definitely going to come back for another trip. Safe travels to Grenada! Anytime you are in Maryland look us up, so we can return the hospitality. Thank youNovember USVI 2021
Hannah and Tom are really special people…friendly, thoughtful, service oriented, always available to help, professional, lovely. They are truly amazing crew. We highly recommend them. No words would adequately describe the miraculous dishes that came out of that galley! I was wondering how Hannah would pull off another week of fabulous cuisine without repeating dishes we experienced last year, but she did!! We didn’t request new dishes but her creativity and presentation impressed everyone. Our experience on Karma was top class, and we will most certainly do it again! -EhrhartsChristmas 2021 USVI Charter
Hannah and Tom, It is so hard to find the words to say for what this trip means to us. Family, friends, Xmas, and these good islands all together is incredible but then to have the 2 of you guiding us, cooking for us, sharing tips and smiles makes out hearts so full. Amazingly you showed us new things, new places, new drinks and recipes, and bioluminescent fish on our last night. We all feel reenergized and are already looking forward to next year (we will need time to diet before returning). Lionfish, lobsters, mahi-mahi, turtles-we felt like we were in heaven. Bravo! Standing Ovation! And all our love. -Connie and Miles, Ron and AndyNYE 2021 USVI Charter
Hannah and Tom, You are amazing! Always a smile and a helping hand when needed. Amazing food putting us in all the right places to really enjoy a spectacular week. You are an amazing team and we wouldn't have had the special experience we all had without all you did for us. Thank you! While you "say" no one saw more octopus that us, it was your guidance that got us there! Octopus, squid, rays, eels, and so many turtles. You always put us in the right spots! We certainly are leaving with a few more pounds than we came with! Hannah -your menus were great! We leave with many fond memories and will think back on our grand adventure with delight. We will miss you both and hope you have a wonderful life and many great adventures ahead. -Amy, Steve, Drew, and Cole Hannah and Tom, Hopefully the pounds will leave while the memories linger-we had a marvelous week and took joy in your seamanship and teamwork. You truly are a dream! Love to both of you and our very best wishes on continuing adventures. -Dick and MaxineJanuary 2022 USVI Charter
Chef Hannah and Captain Tom Wow- I honestly have no adequate words to thank you enough for sharing your "Karma" with us all. I knew this would be an amazing trip, but I had no idea how beyond amazing it would be. The setting, the adventure, all of our experiences were magnified by your grace and hospitality. From the depths of my heart I say "Thank You" Many blessings on your adventures to come. Joan and Jeff Hannah and Tom, Thank you for a great adventure, sailing, eating, atmosphere. Everything was perfecto. We are thankful for this amazing week. Best of luck in your future adventures -Bill Tom and Hannah, Your hospitality is superb!! Karma is such a great boat to entertain. Hannah's cooking has been so delicious. Tom's expertise in everything has been amazing. We have had the most wonderful time this week. You have made it one of our most memorable vacations!! Best wishes for your future together. Trey and CindyJanuary 2021 USVI Charter
The crew is what made Karma so perfect. Captain Tom and Chef Hannah..I don’t have adequate words to describe them. They work so well together, are so welcoming and accommodating, anticipated any need we might have before we even knew we wanted it, generous with their time and talent, friendly—we felt at home the moment we came onboard. Honestly, I could keep going. We are all ruined now because they set the bar so high.
February 2022 USVI Charter
Best care anywhere! Charming and incessantly attentive. Hannah and Tom made for a care free week on Karma. The natural beauty of paradise was heightened by our amazing crew and boat. Thanks for the memories! -Carlos What an incredible week of great food, beautiful views, fun times, and lifelong memories. Thanks to Hannah and Tom for all the great attention, food, and time! -Michelle Both the boat and crew rocked! Thanks Tom and Hannah. Can't wait to sail with you both again! -Pete and Dani Such a great time better than we hoped for with outstanding food and service. Hope we can cruise with you two again soon! -Love Kate and Kevin Thank you so much for the most memorable vacay! Hannah and Tom exceeded all expectations. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future for sure! -George and MitzyJake and Mackenzie Past Reviews
Cieciuch Family, US Virgin Islands “Jake and Mackenzie, there are not enough adjectives to explain how AMAZING you both were! Kind, warm, fun, energetic and knowledgeable. The food was incredible (and we are not easy to cook for with allergies and vegetarians amongst us). Mackenzie was so creative. Her presentations were gorgeous. We ate like royalty. Our older daughter - who has the allergies - was thrilled, as were we all. And Jake was a blast and has good karma as we always found the best mooring spots! He was always happy to teach us about the boat and about sailing, and energetically facilitated all the activities of our active family. Both of them tirelessly played games and swam with us and the girls in their down time. Our younger daughter cried all the way to town after they dropped us off because she was missing them so much. We would absolutely book another trip with this duo!” Johnson Family, US Virgin Islands “I cannot thank you two enough for such a fantastic trip. Y'all are the best! We really needed the down time and we are so appreciative of you both for taking such great care of our family. Y'all make a great team and you provided our family with an outstanding vacation.” Herold Family, US Virgin Islands “Thank you for an amazing experience! You make a dynamic duo. This trip was definitely memorable and that is a big part to do with your amazing hospitality!! The island hopping, the games, and the snorkeling were so fun, and we appreciate all of your hard work and efforts to make this the best trip ever." Oren Crew, US Virgin Islands “Wow! What an amazing time we’ve had exploring St. Thomas and St. John with you! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect match than you both. You made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and you embraced our quirkiness and adventures! You chose perfect spots to explore and did a perfect job listening to our interests and needs and creating a great itinerary accordingly. Mackenzie – the food was top notch! We got so spoiled with your delicious cuisine. We created lasting memories and have enjoyed every moment. The anniversary celebration, “bachelorette party,” and 40th birthday bash were all so fun! We all hope to make a return visit and wouldn’t think to sail with anyone other than you two. Whether it’s here or Croatia, this won’t be the last you see of us!”Nov 2022 USVI Charter
While the boat is beautiful, the magic of this trip was Mac and Jake! The memories made will feed our souls for years, the laughs will be the music in our dreams, and the music of the sea will be a soundtrack we will play on repeat. There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this week has been. Thank you Jake and Mackenzie - AMAZING! Thanks for the memories and birthday wishes! Love our time with you guys.
Dec 2022 BVI Charter
"Dear Mackenzie and Jake, What a wonderful week we had. The cruising, sailing, snorkeling, and the meals were beyond our wildest expectations!

We thank you so much for making a most memorable time in the BVI and USVIs.
February 2023 BVI Charter
"Best. Week. Ever! We owe it all to ya'll Jake and Mackenzie! You've set the bar high for any and all future vacations. Thanks for the adventures, '10 minute' walks, shark shots, morning meetings, skis of shots (shot skis?), games, and everything in between. But mostly thank you for having us in your home and sharing your love for these islands. It's not goodbye, it's 'see you later!'" There are truly no words to express my gratitude towards the two of you. Thank you thank you thank you for making this an experience of a lifetime! You two have made this trip truly priceless! Thank you for everything - the friendship, food, little details, captain's skills and knowledge, and of course the 'shark shots!' have been unmatched! I could go on and on, but we will miss you and we will carry these memories forever.
March 2023 BVI Charter
Jake and Mac, Dream come true! We always wanted to do this and two of you made it even better than we hoped for! We had a beautiful week with nice weather, fun outings, and incredible food. Your gracious hospitality is so very appreciated! Wish you both the very best and don't hesitate to call if you ever get to the DFW area.

It's hard to tell you how much this trip meant to us. The girls were in awe of the islands, the boat, the wildlife, and your incredible hospitality. This was the trip of a lifetime and you two absolutely made it. You are both tireless and went above and beyond in every way. So much love, can't wait to see you again! This trip has been nothing short of awesome! It literally was the best family vacation we have ever done and we can't thank you both enough! From snorkeling to breakfast cake and goat spotting, we had a blast! We hope to be back but wish you both the best. You are always welcome in Philly and Avalon!

Thank you so much for such an incredible week on Karma. We had so much fun! It's hard to pick one (or even a few) favorite when we enjoyed so much. The diving was amazing, as were the on land excursions at The Baths, Anegada, and Soggy Dollar. We loved those adventures but also had such a blast on the boat - a magical home away from home for this week. The family breakfast / lunch / dinner table with all of us together is a gift that is somewhat elusive during this chapter of life, and this time together will be cherished forever. And the food. Truly magnificent every time. Works of art!!! Since I'm delivering these thanks I'll add a special shout-out for the TSwift dance parties - and I'm sure the whole family would concur - the games, music, conversations, and boat vibe provided much needed connection and relaxation! Thank you!!"

From the moment we stepped aboard - no actually even before that - you were both gracious, hospitable, and attentive beyond measure. Mackenzie - your warm and loving demeanor are welcoming like a dear friend, and Jake, your chill vibe exudes confidence and capability to ensure your passenger's safety. You each bring an easy, good-time-to-be-had-by-all tone that is delivered day after day. From beginning to end, we could not have been more fortunate to have you as our hosts for this long-desired experience. You each embody the name of the boat you crew, and you created not just a great week, but a lasting reminder of how to live. I am deeply grateful and appreciative of all you did for us this week. Thank you for an awesome week of beautiful coves, great underwater adventures, and amazing food and beverages! Couldn't have asked for better hosts! You guys ROCK! I appreciate your time and efforts to make everything so perfect - even the last minute surprise wedding. Magnificent! Pretty sure there was never a crew so perfectly suited to a boat's name - it was a karmic pairing to be sure! Thank you for the early AM SUP sessions, watching waves at Little Jost Van Dyke, and creating a perfect wedding day for our friends! You two created a perfect experience. Thank you Mackenzie and Jake!
