Captain Sam Baker
Captain Sam was born and raised in the beautiful coastal town of Beaufort, SC. Growing up he was often on the water, whether it was deep sea fishing, shrimping, water skiing, knee boarding or swimming, most activities included a boat and water! He comes from a large family that was well known around town for their hospitality and love of food, and that legacy continues with him today. Entertaining is in his blood, whether it’s game night, being a tour guide, or showing you how to sail, Sam’s upbeat personality is sure to shine through. Snorkeling and spear fishing are at the top of his list of fun things to do, along with hiking and exploring new and exciting places. No matter the activity, he is sure to keep you entertained and laughing all along the way!
Along with having over 5,000 nautical miles under his belt, he also has his captains license and has completed all the safety training in STCW to ensure his guests can have a great time and know their captain will keep them safe at all times.
Chef Carrie Baker
Carrie was born in the suburbs of Chicago, then at the age of 14 she moved with her family to Beaufort, SC. It was there that she met Sam and the story is one she can’t wait to share! Along with the title of “mom” comes a lot of cooking! Carrie has always enjoyed preparing delicious and healthy food sourced from local ingredients. She can accommodate guests with different dietary restrictions such as gluten and dairy free, vegetarian and pescatarian. Carrie also has a love for baking and guests can enjoy waking up to the amazing smell of fresh bread baking in the oven! Regardless of the preferences, guests are sure to enjoy Chef Carrie’s culinary creations!
When not in the galley, Carrie enjoys snorkeling, scuba diving, paddle boarding, hiking, and going for long walks on the beach looking for sea glass to make jewelry and crafts. She also enjoys a good game night, too!
Crew Bio
We have been happily married for 28 years and have children that Carrie was able to homeschool while we lived in Beaufort, SC. Having lived in a coastal town, it allowed us to grow our love of the ocean. As homebuilders running our own company for over twenty years, we realized that we wanted a hobby that was a little slower pace and quiet. So, in 2016 bought our first sailboat; a 23 ft O’Day Tempest! After learning to sail on Lake Murray in SC and loving it, we decided to try out ocean sailing and booked a charter in Grenada the summer of 2019. We were hooked! It was from this trip that we knew we wanted to make this a lifestyle and share it with others. By 2020, we had upgraded to a 42 ft sailboat and have since logged over 5,000 nautical miles including sailing in the Virgin Islands.
We love everything the islands have to offer and would love to share that with our guests too! From snorkeling with turtles to diving shipwrecks, hiking to ruins and learning their incredible history to relaxing on gorgeous beaches and experiencing the vibrant beach bars, we will be able to cater to our guests’ preferences and give them memories they will never forget and a vacation of a lifetime!

We are leaving with our favorite memories and new friendships with you both. Safe travels throughout your days, and cheers to more wonderful voyages throughout your life. With love, Missy, Rona, Jen, Duane, Joelle, Shorty
Words can hardly capture what an unforgettable experience you both provided for us. The food was absolutely incredible. We shared so many laughs together, making this our favorite family vacation. You didn't just make the trip better, you became part of our family. Thank you for creating memories we will cherish forever! Matt, Rachel, Avery, Parker, Jack & Nana

I like your banana pudding. -Jack
Captain Sam and Carrie - We looked forward to this vacation for six months and all our expectations were blown away! We had sooo much fun snorkeling, visiting the beaches, and eating all the yummy food. Adrian and Dylan experienced so many firsts...from swimming with the turtles to kissing their first salt-water fish. Thank you so much for working around our schedule and helping us track down our friends in the BVI. Your patience with the kids went beyond...the harmonica will definitely make it to this year's Christmas lists! Really hope we get to repeat this in the not-to-distant future! Big round of applause! Antonio, Sara, Adrian and Dylan
Sam and Carrie (Varn...we've adopted you!) Trip of a lifetime! My kids have all said that this trip has moved into the #1 spot on the Family Favorites. We can't thank you enough for being flexible with us to accommodate us (5 different individuals) in making this trip special. We checked off all our "to-do" items and listened to your wisdom and added a few more. Food was awesome, snorkeling was incredible, fun times around the table was a blast! You both are excellent at doing your God-given gifts to serve others and I hope you are blessed for doing so. My only suggestions for your future in this industry is to improve your attempts at humor (Sam) and never fly a Gamecock flag while sailing. Go Tigers! Hope our paths cross again in SC! In Christ, The Varns
Sam and Carrie, Thank you for all your hard work to provide us an exceptional trip and experiences we could not have had on our own. We will have dozens of good memories to last a lifetime! Our kids had a blast being pulled on the tube and snorkeling for creatures. We loved exploring the shipwreck, baths, learning to sail and enjoyed all of Carrie's amazing meals, to name a few. Thank you for your unending patience and hospitality. Best wishes for the rest of your charter season and a restful week off with your kids. Lots of love - Mike, Kim, Oliver, Roman and Gemma

You all are the best. Thank you for it all and we hope to see you all again! Love, Bruce and Janna, Coppell TX Kaylie and Ryan, Fort Worth TX Ranell, Vera TX
Sam and Carrie - You know it's a great sign of an amazing trip when you never know what day it is! From the moment we stepped foot on La Speranza, we were amazed! The snorkeling was the best we have ever seen. It made it more magical to have Capt'n Sam join us for a lobster find or a speared lion fish. We saw incredible creatures and loved every second. Sam and Carrie, you made sure we had everything we needed and always surprised us with a little extra, like a tube ride on the dingy or fishing for tarpon or going for our first night snorkel. The food was fantastic and you made sure there were choices for all of us! Sam even removed all the gluten from things for us! Ha! The boat was beautiful and very comfortable. We were able to rest, relax and have adventures. We hope to keep in touch with you both and hear about your excursions and travels. Thanks for letting us be part of your boat family! Love, Clay, Amie, Shea, and Joe P.S. Sam - your Uno game is a lot of big talk!!

Dear Captain, Thank you sososo much for driving us to new places. If it weren't for you, we would've been in the same spot in the water for a week, and that wouldn't be fun.

Please stay in tough and look us up in Cape Cod. Nicholas

Your food was AMAZING! And you guys brought me so much joy talking about your lives and stories. These are memories I hope I never forget. -Turd 1 or Ellis
Dear Captain Sam, I should have started writing two days ago instead of waiting until we're pulling into port...but that's just a great testament to how busy you kept us. Words can't properly express what a perfect week we had. You navigated us perfectly with each changing wind and took us to every single stop we wanted, plus plenty of surprises mixed in. This will go down in history as our best vacation ever. We're sorry we missed Carrie, but Martin was wonderful and Kept us well fed. Happy Birthday my friend! Love, Kylene and Ryan
