Susan’s 60th birthday week!! Don’t Worry –Be Cappy! Cappy did a fantastic job planning a fun filled adventure for five old people. Favorite memories were scooting around Anagada, floating at JVD all day and the adventure to and from the Windmill Bar in St. John. Lots of good snorkeling spots and beautiful stargazing at night. Sunsets were absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking such good care of us, Captain Jamie! Susan, Barb, Rick, Laure, Dave
It was a great size for our family of 5. Plenty of room to sleep, with private bathrooms in each of the quarters. The kitchen was a little tight for all of us to gather, but it served us well for many meals. Lots of great space on the deck for lounging, and sunning. Easy to get on and off for snorkeling. Fun toys for activities, we used the SUP's the most. Captain Jamie was very accessible and accommodating. He was great with the kids and became a part of the family! We were very satisfied with the cruising itinerary. We had to make a few adjustments along the way, but all of the destinations were still beautiful and unique. Lots of snorkeling and beach time, which we requested! The floating restaurants were a great experience as well. Super fun itinerary! We were very impressed with the level of service and professionalism from Captain Jamie, and all of the vendors we encountered. This was a bucket list trip that went very well for us! We can't wait to come back and do it all again soon! Scott
Jamie, thanks so much for the unforgettable vacation. Thanks for keeping us safe from Beryl! Ryan’s favorite part was renting the mini-moke at Anegada. Kevin’s was all the sailing, and mine was the beach @ Jost. Loved Leala again as the second time we got to have her! Hope to see y’all in two years for another sail! Rapscallion rules! ❤️ Katie, Kevin & Ryan
I couldn’t imagine a better vacation celebrating our girls graduation from college and high school. It’s difficult to put into words the beauty and the splendor of wind pushing our beloved Rapscallion through the water. The peace and beauty of the sounds, water and sky passing us by is heavenly. Skipper, Jamie, was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of our voyage. We’ll miss him and hope to see him again! Godspeed Rapscallion. We’ll be back. Bibbo
My favorite part of Holiday was trying the painkillers (frozen is my fav). I also love swimming and tanning on the boat. The food is something I will never forget. I also loved seeing sea turtles and a stingray (love those sea creatures). I had a wonderful holiday. Thank you for being a wonderful captain. 15 men on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! -Treasure Island Sophia
My fav part was 100% the last dinghy ride. Also won’t forget when Sophia took her first shot of rum. You should come down to JMU and watch some football and try the drink machine! Hope to see you soon and thanks for giving us a good time! Jules
What an amazing adventure! We all thoroughly enjoyed our week on the Rapscallion, thanks to our wonderful captain. We appreciate Jamie’s attentiveness, flexibility, and knowledge- made for a fantastic family vacation with our kiddos.

Nolan- Meeting some new friends on Maho Beach and playing football with them. Anna- Snorkeling at Diamond Reef and relaxing on the boat! Ben- Jumping off of Willy T’s Thanks Jamie! We will never forget this trip! Kris, Matt, Nolan, Anna and Ben

We had the perfect vacation with our 3 adults children, great snorkeling, beaches and bards and a great night sleep. Thanks Jamie!
REVIEWS BELOW ARE FROM PREVIOUS CREW Dear Steph and Ryan, this entire week I have struggled to find the right words to say anything. You guys have given my family and I the trip of a lifetime. But still, to write that out simply does not give justice to our true feelings about how life-changing an amazing this experience was. I learned a long time ago that just the right people come into your life when you need them the most. I never thought I’d meet such a loving eccentric and hysterical people such as yourselves and for that I am forever grateful. I’ll be honest, I struggle to comprehend the inner workings of fate but I do believe in it. I believe faith brought us together and I am confident faith will bring us all together again one day. We wish you a happy marriage and a good few cheer for yawls next adventure. I love you all, we love you! And we will miss you guys dearly! With love Preston Cooper Collier
Ryan and Steph, with our past experiences on chartered catamarans, we had high expectations for the experience and crew Dash you exceeded them on this trip!! When Kimberly and I wanted our team and their spouses to experience a relaxing week, we couldn’t think of a better trip then sailing in the Caribbean with them. You made the trip even more special. The little, yet big, details like the specialty drinks, the flavored spa waters daily, making sure we always had what we needed to make this a pure vacation were appreciated! We love the games, conversations, flowers, snorkel trips, my platform, the perfect island stops, the cold drinks, watching Chef Steph dancing in the kitchen making the perfect and delicious five-star meals and all the other work that happen behind the scenes so we could relax in paradise. The hospitality was five-star! What you do every week is incredibly hard but the impact you have on each of us is not even measurable. THA K YOU BOTH!! Kimberly & John
Ryan and Steph, thank you doesn’t seem like enough. Your hospitality made us feel like family. The laughter until we cried- the stories- and conversations were so enjoyable. Steph thank you for the amazing meals, and I would never have an enjoyed snorkeling without your guidance and patience. You gave me a memory I will never forget. The beaches, views, different bays were priceless and will be our trip of a lifetime. U2 are the best crew and now friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you both did to make us so comfortable and see that we had the time of our life. Ron and Deena
Ryan and Steph, just wow!!! Nicci and I came on this boat not knowing what to expect. Our minds are blown! Ryan, thanks for being the perfect captain. You know the answer to every question we had. True or not it felt true. Taking us from Cove to Cove, it’s been the most beautiful experience we have ever seen. You’re kind and gentle heart close and made it easy for us to relax a special thank you. Steph your hospitality has no limit. The food was amazing, unbelievable! Your energy was contagious. Which made it easy for Nicci and I to have fun. I believe that Nicci and I have made two new friends this week and that we will talk about you more than you will ever know. Absolutely amazing trip open my eyes to an unbelievable experience we love you. Scott and Nikki

They helped arrange a band on the boat for a birthday celebration that turned into a “block party “ on the bay. Would definitely hire again. Cruising Area Did you like the area you chartered in? Yes went to Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix.
Thank you for a fun filled week! Amazing food! Great sailing! And the very best crew!! We thoroughly enjoyed each stop and loved St. Croix! ❤️ Best to you until we meet again. John and Bethany
Ryan and Steph, words can’t describe how wonderful you made our week on the Rapscallion. The highlights are many but traveling with a school of dolphins, watching whale swim, and walking Shawshank redemption Beach top the list. Beyond the incredible locations and sites, your attention to detail on food, beverage, and boat worse unsurpassed. We never had a warm beer, empty glass, or dull moment! We love you both!

Stephanie and Ryan, words are inadequate to describe the memories and emotions the Rapscallion helped create. We would scream it, but that isn’t how writing works. Your hospitality reflected the beautiful landscape of the VI. After Irma was definitely a highlight. Collectively we have gained an ass load of weight because the food was excellent. Thanks for all the attention to our preferences, even if three of us didn’t get the email forwarded. Lol. Ranks as one of the best vacations ever! Stay in touch. Joy, Tim, Landon, & Riley

Thank you for sharing your heart and for working so hard. We will never forget this trip and both of you as part of it. Love, Sara & Bracken Ostler
A Christmas trip aboard the Rapscallion Ship From our very first call, I knew we’d be welcomed by Steph southern drawl And Ryan to navigate through every single squall With Ryan at the helm where the sea is his realm we never did think that in the sea we would sink. With the realm of the galley steered by the smiling stef we knew we had a wonderful chef The meals were more delicious than we ever could wish, Steph amazed us with every dish. Ryan found as great places to swim, where many beautiful fish we saw with mass snorkels and fins. They took us to line out, where we ate tacos on a float. Then with full bellies we swim back to our sailboat. On Christmas Eve they swam us to tunes where we heard some fiddling and a Rastaman croon. Ryan and Steph are a wonderful crew, when we leave them we will be filled with many boo-hoo‘s Over this Christmas week we did spend, a week with a couple we call marvelous friends! Know that Kathy, Charlie, Cate, Tess, and Chris it is you Ryan and Steph we will definitely miss! We hope to see you again on a near future date. Know that you were always welcome to stay in our home to visit San Francisco and our town by the Golden gate! Lots of love, The Wilmoths
Ryan and Steph, Thank you so much for all the things you did to make us feel so special aboard the fabulous Rapscallion.(including the things we probably had no idea you were doing)!! Thank you especially for sharing your islands and the things that made this week so amazing: Sunset hikes, ancient lighthouses, dinghy swinging, cooking so much wonderful food in such a small space, beach trips, shipwrecks, swimming, Disney magic, all year mini kind words and all the animal sightings, dolphins turtles so many fish, pelicans diving, and of course all the brown boobies! And who could ever forget Felicia! Thank you again! Until next time… Kevin, Sharon, Gunnar,& Amelia

From Hikes (more challenging to some than others end) snorkeling, Saint Croix jeep tour!! U2 are the very best!! Never wanting for a thing this week makes it tough to head back to reality. We love y’all Grant and Kathryn Larlee Steph and Ryan, thanks for an awesome trip from a guy that has had a hard time relaxing you sure succeeded. I learn the important things in life on this trip. No shoes no pants and few possessions are important. Thanks again! Grant Steph and Ryan, Thank you for one of the most adventurous, Chill, drinking, eating, laughing vacations we’ve ever had.

Thanks for the journey to St. Croix and for spoiling us yet again. We will see you soon! Love Will and Dana Curry
Where to begin? We have loved our two short week with you! Things we’ve particularly enjoyed, in no particular order. 1. The soothing sounds of the islands, like waves crashing on the shore, frog singing at night, and that Eazy-E station blasting through the speakers! 2. Hiking! From Beta Bay, checking out ruins, possibly trespassing, Ramshead and petroglyphs. 3. Amazing snorkeling at every stop. 4. Stephs ridiculously good kitchen creations. #DropItLikeIt’sHot 5. I got to see a lunar eclipse Dash reward for being up at 5:45 every day! And it was a full moon! 6. Shutting the box!!! 7. Taming Felicia! It took a little waterboarding, but I like her spunk! And most of all, making two wonderful friends! Can’t wait to see y’all again either here or in TN. We hope we’re not your easiest charter this season! Love, Darsi and Ben

June, 2021 Captain Ryan and chef Steph, it is easy to thank you for taking us to all the beautiful sites. Your knowledge of the USVI is amazing.

Giving us space at times, being our tour guide, and being one of the family at other times! What an amazing and complicated job you do. My prayers are with you both. Hopefully the connections you foster and the grace you give will be something that continues to strengthen your own relationship. Thank you for the amazing experience! Love, The MXXXXXS
Cu & Cu Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime! As a mom, we worry about the right food accommodations, safety, fun drinks, and with you too there was zero need to stress about anything.

Ryan and Steph put together an Itinerary based on our requests that showed us the best areas 6. Additional comments on your charter? This trip exceeded any and all expectations. Can't say enough about our new friends Ryan and Steph. They made all our dreams come true with this trip. It was most relaxed and fun trip any of us had ever had. The scenery, the food and drinks, snorkeling, shopping, sailing and all the great floating toys on the boat were spectacular. It was a trip we will remember for a lifetime!!!!
Hi Steph and Ryan, I don’t know which of you is more lucky to have the other. The highlight of our week has been you guys and your fabulous sense of humor. You have an uncanny ability to give us exactly what we want, both giving us space and being there, for laughs, for cocktails, for snacks, and constantly offering entertainment options. Steph, everyone raves about your food, and it is heavenly good. If you forced me to pick favorites, it would be the evening fish dishes, and the massive breakfasts that were perfect after an hour of wobbly dawn yoga on deck, an early morning snorkel, and plenty of coffee. BTW that coffee was always there and freshly brewed no matter what ridiculously early time I got up. I couldn’t beat Ryan out of bed, even once, although Liz managed it, but only on day one, getting up at 3:30am she was so determined not to miss a minute of vacation. Steph, I loved our land hikes to get the views, and seeing you sweat like crazy and assure me that you loved climbing hills too, while downing gatorade. Ryan, you showed us beautiful cove after beautiful cove, and stunning sunset after stunning sunset. You gave me my first taste of tubing, and it was a blast! There was no way I was flying off that thing, although you tried hard, and I swallowed half the ocean laughing. Andrew got his first taste of paddle-boarding (I have the hilarious video to prove it). It was no mill-pond, we had a big-swell week, and he wisely decided to stick to the kayak to explore the places you took us, but Liz went out most days (an experienced paddle-boarder and she could handle the chop). Thank you for towing the kayak out to the very windy tip of Magens bay, so we had the perfect easy kayak back, going with the wind, watching the turtles surface, and nosying some of the most beautiful houses on Saint Thomas. Thank you for paying attention to our safety at all times, and racing across the bay to look for us when you thought we’d gone astray (we hadn’t, a false-alarm, we were having fun kayaking the coves, seeing goats play, and were just out of sight behind the massive boat, Felix). I’m the first to fall off Felicia, but apparently not the first to accidentally dump technology overboard. Thank you for rescuing my GoPro when I dropped it in the dark, minus its floatie bubble case. Thank you for tolerating our (slightly drunken) whim to night snorkel, inspired by the underwater flashlight/GoPro incident, and wisely advising how to do it safely (noodles and buddies), and then killing the boat lights and blasting out the Jaws theme-tune as we swam back (OMG we laughed!). Thank you for tirelessly hunting lobster with William (yum, the sashimi appetizer Steph created from it was delicious!). Thank you for filling your tiny freezer with his bait, and zipping along at plenty of knots so he could fish off the back of the boat. I loved when we had both sails up, the noise of the boat whooshing through the water, and we flew across to Buck Island, where I got those gorgeous turtle photos. Thank you for cleaning up after us, constantly, and the miraculously appearing towels, just when we needed them. You keep the yacht spotless, there are so many different places to chill, the cabins are beautiful, the water is hot, the beds are comfy, and the closet space surprisingly large (who knew there were drawers under the beds, and the bathrooms have six shelves). The evidence of how much fun we had is captured in so many photos of so many memories that we will treasure, and you Captain Ryan and First Mate Stephanie, are right there, starring in tons of them. Thank you. Jane.
Dear Ryan and Steph, thanks for such a beautiful and relaxing cruise. We will have wonderful memories of our time with you and all the cool destinations we arrived at each evening. The food was fabulous Steph! Thanks for all your efforts. We hope to do this again sometime. We wish you both many blessings always. Love, Peggy and Dave
To Stephanie and Ryan Best ship crew ever!! Words cannot express how wonderful you both have been. You have made our trip an experience to remember! You catered to our every need. You were both so professional yet personable. You made us feel at home on the rapscallion. You took us to such magical places – the West Cay being my favorite. Stephanie- you are an awesome chef! Every meal was splendid. Ryan- thanks for being my snorkel buddy! My only regret is that we didn’t get those three lobsters we tried for. We could not have had a better trip… Thanks to the two of you-thanks for making it so memorable! Please keep in touch, all the best Carol and Don
Ryan and Steph, thank you for the best week ever! Jack and I haven’t had this experience before and after this we will definitely want to join you on another adventure. The thing is, the boat is great and Energy beautiful, but You two made the trip! You both were so welcoming and worked so hard to ensure everything and everyone had a perfect vacation. Ryan knows all the secret spots to snorkel and visit, Steph continued to delight us with delicious and beautiful presented fair. Wow! It’s just so much to mention. Please know our trip with you was fantastic. With love Linda and Jack
We just returned from a fabulous New Years week cruise in the US virgin Islands aboard “Rapscallion” crewed by Captain Ryan and First Mate/Chef Stephanie. First of all, the boat itself is beautiful. For a 45 foot catamaran, it was extremely spacious and modern with plenty of room for all us to relax and enjoy the trip. Each stateroom was well appointed with its own head and separate air-conditioning control. The crew were professional yet by the end of the cruise we all had become dear friends. Stephanie is an excellent chef who worked tirelessly to feed us the most exquisite meals and keep us all hydrated with infused waters, a coffee bar, and delicious cocktails. Stephanie is also one of the best First Mates in the Caribbean. Captain Ryan is one of the best skippers I have ever sailed with and his knowledge of the local waters is extensive. Every night and again each morning, he surveyed the weather, radar, and marine chatter to find us the most beautiful locations with the calmest seas for the journey. Captain Ryan took us to see turtles, coral reefs, floating tequila taco bars, beach bars, sunset hikes, secluded beach hikes, and much more. The crew arranged for some of our guests who scuba dive to be met by a charter boat for a day of diving while the other passengers enjoyed a day on the beach. For New Years Eve, since everything was shut down due to COVID, Captain Ryan and Stephanie arranged for a local musician to be dinghied to our boat for a floating sunset concert along with other vessels. This was followed by a fantastic dinner in St. John followed by a fire juggling show on the beach all before we counted down the new year with new friends back on our boats. We so appreciated all their attention to detail and the fact they really love to do what they do. I have been on several charters in the USVI and BVI and this one was the best by far. Thanks
Captain Ryan & Chef Steph Thank you for the most amazing week, fabulous food, and great adventures. We'll never forget the week that Will turned 40!! Just a few of our favorite memories on Rapscallion: *Desserts!! Birthday cake, key lime pie, and cheesecake YUMMY! *Drinking 7 cases of Ultra when we only ordered 5 *The Sunsets *Our girl Felicia (The Unicorn) *Snorkeling with the turtles(from the play-pad) *Magen's Bay tow home from beach *Shopping with Steph *Teaching you the 'Booty Song'- Captain booty, cooking booty, dripping booty,.... *And who could forget Matt's elevator?!?! There are so many more memories that we will hold dear from our trip! We hope to do this trip again and maybe get to see the BVI. Wishing you both the best on all your adventures ahead on Rapscallion!! Love your favorites: Will & Dana, Matt & Brandy, Nathan & Jess
Can't think of a more perfect getaway than this week aboard Rapscallion. we have so enjoyed every part of it. By far the best part has been having Ryan and Steph as captain and chef. You two have made our experience even better than expected. We especially enjoyed our excursion over to St. Croix- it was such a charming little town and the dinner at Savant was outstanding. Buck Island in STX was beautiful and finishing up our trip at the shipwreck was a great snorkeling experience with the best sunset of the week. Were are so happy to have met both of you and hope that you will join us in New Orleans one day soon!! Regardless, we will be back to take another trip with you again in the future!! Love, Kerri & Franklin and Katie & Vincent New Orleans, LA

What an amazing week for the Family! This was originally a 2020 spring break trip but luckily we were able to make it happen over Thanksgiving break and what a MAJOR treat! Captain Ryan and Chef Steph could not be more wonderful. Steph's attention to detail for all of our desires was amazing. Captain Ryan was more than awesome pulling all of our kids tubing and waakye boarding. We all feel so lucky to have escaped covid even for a small break of normal!! We will be forever grateful and will cherish the family memories. Thanks to you both!! Love, Karee, Lauren, Ashley, & Teddy

This trip has been on our bucket list for some time. We finally made it happen and are so glad to have sailed with you two as our host. We were able to learn the local history, learn so much about the coral and fish, and eat and eat and eat to our hearts content. You knew all of the best spots and then some! The sailing was amazing, feeling the best, effortlessly across the ocean, the sound of the vessel breaking the silence. Heaven on earth! In all of our travels, the best part has always been the people we meet. Loved you two the best! We wish you luck with your next adventure and hope we can join you again... Beth and Gary, OH
Captain Ryan & Chef Steph- Thank you both for making our dream come true.

Thanks for taking our husband-wife teams and making us feel comfortable and welcome at all times. You two have a special gift together- keep sharing with everyone else! The meals-awesome!

Our trip forever etched in our memories!! Thank you both for paying attention al ALL the details- it was noticed and appreciated! Skip and Sammy, FL
Ryan & Steph, here is a list of my favorite experiences. 1. Your loving, caring, kind attitudes. 2. Your expertise in boating and cooking with excellent customer service. 3. Salt Pond Bay with so so many turtles and the most amazing views from the hike that Steph took us on! 4. The beautiful ocean and relaxing while sailing. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, you make it look effortless. The G*****t Family
There ae moments in life that are memorable and worry free. They don’t come every day but when they come you feel happier and lighter. But then there are moments in life that are so special that come very seldom if at all. The kind of moment that you carry forever, that make you grow, that builds friendships, that strengthens family bonds, and change your life. Our trip with Ryan and Steph was one of those moments. You opened our eyes to another area of the world. To lands so beautiful. To the world under the sea, and to living on top of the sea, with the basics- great food, friendship, and LOVE. What else is there really? From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You for all that you have done, thank you for dedicating your time and love. Thank you for letting us into your lives. Thank you for keeping us happy and safe. Thank you for the wonderful memories and thank you for giving us these moments that have changed all of our lives in every way. With all of our heart and soul, The BXXXX Family, NY
I don’t really want this to become a sappy note but not sure how else to show my appreciation. There is not enough paper in this book to thank you for all the things you have done for us this weel. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom about life, the BVI, snorkeling, and wildlife. Thank you for keeping us safe, well fed & liquored up. Thank you for never making us feel like a burden when we asked for something or when we asked a question. Thank you for making us feel like family. Thank you for catering to ALL of our personalities. Thank you for the countless laughs and the amazing jokes. Thank you for amazing views everyday and one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you for not cooking with onions! Thank you for making sure the coffee was made for me every morning so I could thoroughly enjoy my morning sunrise. thank you for paying attention to details because life really is about the little things. Thank you for dancing. Thank you for loving your job and your life and sharing it with us. I really can’t be grateful enough for this opportunity and for the starts to align to have you both as our captain and crew! One last thing, thank you Steph for wiping the bird poop off my face and waiting to laugh at me. Susie, NJ
Capt Ryan & Chef Steph, What an incredible trip!! We have been to the islands many times but this experience exceeded our expectations.... awesome food, great overnight spots, snorkeling, turtles, and the huge dolphin on our last day... WOW! Your hospitality will keep us coming back! Thank YOU!
Ryan and Stephanie, the anticipation and excitement for our trip was over the top and you both far-far exceeded our expectations! “The Girls” have been making memories for years and we are so blessed that you are part of our journey! Your attention and service were extraordinary, but we will always cherish the laughs and fun times! You are both the best and we send our heartfelt thanks!! Donna, Lisa, Laurie, & Dee Dee, NY
Janet’s 50th Celebration From the moment we stepped foot on the yacht we left the world behind..... When asked about sailing, Ryan’s grin was a sign of what the next 8 days would hold. He went from expert sailor, to fishing guide, to dive buddy, scooter leader, master griller, pro snorkeler, history teacher, and dance moves that stop fish from swimming just to watch. Maybe his best move ever though, was finding Stephanie to be his mate. No sea too rocky for our little spider-monkey to keep our drinks full, and our giggles endless. She delighted us with 5-star meals, made with 5-star love. She makes mooring the boat look as effortless as her mouthwatering desserts... Words cannot express our gratitude to Ryan and and Steph for making this experience as beautiful as the surroundings blue sea. Best of all, are the memories we now hold near and dear to our hearts, and the new friendships that will span for years to come. Thank You for an adventure of a lifetime!! Keith & Janet Ulinger, CA
Where to start? How could the week get any better? Beautiful beaches, wonderful food, great friends, sailing, and snorkeling! Steph & Ryan were amazing- knew our every need and want, even before we did. So many personal touches, like they had known us forever. We have found new friends and we will be back soon! Thank you Steph & Ryan, you were truly the best host and guides! Best wishes to you both! Allison & Johnny Willroy, NC
What an amazing vacation!! Being in a different, beautiful location each evening was such a unique part of the trip. Our captain and first mate always knew the best stops on each island and we were able to see things that we would have never known about otherwise. Our whole group was extremely fond of the ‘noodle train’ and the time that we spent snorkeling and sailing. The food and service were top notch. I could not have imagined a more perfect week. Thank You Ryan and Steph!! Molly Leonard, NC
