Crew Profile

We appreciate and understand the importance of crew designation and clear communication with guests; however, we will confirm the actual crew 30 days before arrival. We reserve the right to change/reschedule the crew based on operations.


Rueben Trejo

Another San Pedrano, Rueben, has been an integral part of one of Belize’s top destinations, having worked as a Master Scuba Diver, avid (and competitive!) fisherman, and tour guide for over 20 years. As a successful entrepreneur, he specializes in private diving excursions, snorkeling, and fishing, including reef, spear, and deep-sea.

Having been with us for over 8 years, Rueben brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the BSV Family, especially as the company’s passionate Head Captain. In addition to his duties, you will find him leading his guests on epic diving and snorkeling adventures along the coast. And when he is not on a charter, he remains actively involved in all aspects of Belize’s tourism industry, serving in the Belize Tourism Industry Association (BTIA) and as a Tour Guide Director for the Tour Guide Association in San Pedro.

Nathalie Manuel

Meet Nathalie Manuel, who hails from the popular tropical hot spot of San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. An energetic team player, she joins BSV following a 10-year career working as a skilled Head Chef at an exclusive private villa on the island's secluded northern shores.

Trained in Seasonal American Cuisine at John Bentley's in California, Nathalie's culinary passions are cake making, pastry, and decadent creations and presentations of fresh-caught lobster.

Nat, as she is affectionately known by her colleagues and friends, is also the sister of our lead and legendary first mate/chef, Kainie Manuel, so her reputation precedes her!
