Crew Profile

Captain Jake
I'm Captain Jake, a North Carolina native who traded the hills for the ocean waves. After studying business and EMS in Charlotte, I veered off the traditional path to become a professional Raft Guide and Rock-Climbing Instructor. My love for the sea led me back to the coast in 2014, where I started my yachting journey as a crew member, maintaining yachts both above and below the waterline.

From day charters in Miami, offering parasailing, scuba diving, and sunset sailing, I quickly moved up the ranks. I became the first mate of a mega yacht, sailing around the Great Lakes, the East Coast of North America, The Bahamas, Exumas, and Puerto Rico before finding my haven in the Caribbean.

Exploring the warm Caribbean waters is my passion. The best part of my day is guiding guests to my favorite snorkel/dive spots, sharing my knowledge and appreciation for the magnificent underwater world unique to the Caribbean. My ultimate wish is to ignite in my guests an overwhelming passion for the ocean, ensuring they leave with smiles as deep as the sea. 🌊⚓😊



Chef Nina

Ahoy there! I'm Chef Nina, a Brit with a heart of gold set on the high seas. Picture this journey: property management, security, financial services, and I even spiced things up at the British Grand Prix and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. But wait, the real adventure began when I discovered the magic of yachting!

In 2021, I kissed land life goodbye and embarked on a sea-faring escapade. From the dazzling Med to the turquoise waters of Sint Maarten, St Barths, the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique, the Bahamas, and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

My kitchen isn't just about flavors; it's a canvas for visual delights. I whip up dishes that are Instagram-worthy and taste like a slice of paradise. My mission? To ensure you leave Utopia with memories that'll be the talk of your next dinner party. Ready to set sail on a feast for the senses? Let's make waves! 🌊🍽️🛥️

Bucket List ! Must do it again.

Absolutely the most relaxing week we had!! Captain Jake took us to amazing spots and great snorkel reefs. He is a very talented and safe captain always watching his guests and commanding his boat. He has a wide variety of song lists that fits the mood of the day or evening! His dancing abilities are phenomenal and we had so much fun! Chef Janine prepared and presented our meals with such class like you see in magazines that can't be real. She always accommodated our needs with food options if needed. She worked with Jake handling of the boat with ease. Enjoyed her company and conversations of travels. I can't wait to book again with you both as i felt my youth reappear!!! Cheers, Tom Toth

The boat to take!

What a spectacular vacation!! Had the best time ever. Highly recommend this trip on the Utopia. Our Captain Jake made the trip. His knowledge of the BVI and all the right spots to see and explore, helped make it fantastic time. Not to mention, tons of fun and dancing…..be sure and ask him to show you a few moves! 😜 Our chef Janine prepared amazing meals and is just such a special person! Miss you guys like crazy, you can count on seeing us again! Your adopted Mama Now, don’t do anything I wouldn’t 😉

Group of eight great friends from Ohio!

We are a group of eight who have travelled together frequently several times on cruise ships. The Utopia is obviously much more intimate and much less crowded and we had a blast to say the least.From the time we were welcomed on board by our crew Captain Jake and our chef Janine we felt like family.Jake was an excellent captain who really took pride in his work and responsibility’s. Our safety always seemed to be his top priority.He also was very knowledgeable about our itinerary and he really seemed to hit all the hot spots in the British Virgin Islands.We departed from Sopers Hole Tortola and enjoyed stops at Jost Van Dyke for fun at the famous Foxys Beach Bar and the can’t miss Soggy Dollar beach bar.Soggys is appropriately named as you have to swim from the Utopia to get there.Not very far or difficult.Captain Jake will make sure you make it safely.This was a very fun stop. Then a stop at Anegada where Jake recommended we rent an open air transport truck that he would navigate us around the island for a very nice tour.Highly recommended. Several nice stops and you will even see pink flamingo 🦩. And your visit to Anegada would not be complete without dinner at The Lobster Trap,delicious. Virgin Gorda was another of our stops.It is a great stop where yo go on a self guided tour through what are called “the baths’. Beautiful stop. And of course you can’t sail the BVI without a visit at the famous Willy T’S. This is a double deck floating bar and restaurant permanently moored off the coast of The Bight Norman Island. Just a forewarning it can and will get a little crazy😄 lm sure Captain Jake and chef Janine will love to tell you all about it.If you are fortunate enough to have Chef Janine on board you won’t be disappointed ! She did an amazing job feeding us and would go above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and having a great time.After our trip with them both I think we made some new friends for life.Thanks again Jake and Janine! We miss you. HIGHLY recommend The Utopia and crew! We were very comfortable and well satisfied.

Memorable Trip!

Our week-long adventure aboard the Catamaran Utopia with Captain Jake was an absolute delight. Utopia offered everything we needed – from well-appointed cabins, to kitchen supplies we needed to cook on our own, to water toys ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Captain Jake's extensive knowledge added to the journey, making each stop more engaging. He was always quick to answer a question, even if we had already asked it 10 times! We had an amazing time exploring the beautiful British Virgin Islands under Captain Jake's guidance. The seamless blend of comfort, knowledge, and breathtaking views made this trip truly unforgettable. Without a doubt, we would gladly embark on this adventure again. Highly recommend for those seeking a perfect mix of relaxation and exploration!!

Incredible vacation exploring BVI/USVI

FANTASTIC VACATION!!! We had the most incredible week exploring the BVI/USVI islands!! Jake was our captain on the Utopia, he was the BEST! He worked so hard to make sure we were safe and that we had the best time possible! He made sure we hit all the great spots to maximize our fun along the way! We LOVED Anegada! Jake suggested that we rent an open air vehicle and then drove us around the island. This included a little ride in the rain, afternoon at Tipsy’s Beach Bar, goat and pink flamingo sightings and lots of laughs!! We will be back and will want Jake as our captain!!
