  CAPTAIN JAMIE & CHEF/MATE JESSA

  Jamie grew up just outside landlocked London, although this didn’t stop him from finding his way to the water. He started racing dinghies at eight years old and turned his hobby into a job at thirteen as a sailing instructor throughout his youth. Whilst at university studying mechanical engineering, he progressed to a Commercially Endorsed Yachtmaster and spent the summers skippering throughout the Mediterranean.
  After a year of office life working in the tech sector, Jamie chose to swap the desk for the waves and became a full-time yacht crew member. Captaining SY Solitaire a 75ft sloop on charter for a season, multiple stints on superyachts and ocean crossings and term charters on sailing catamarans in both the Med and the Virgin Islands.
  He has amassed in excess of 15000 miles at sea. He is also a keen skier and enjoys anything out on the water or outdoors.

  Born in Colorado and raised in Texas, Jessa has always had a passion for being in nature. While she grew up in the city, her family took vacations to the beach and mountains every year and these holidays are what fueled her love for the great outdoors. After she got her degree in Psychology at Texas State University, she worked in the corporate world for a few years in Human Resources until making the radical decision to leave the hustle and bustle of a big city to pursue the spontaneous lifestyle of living on the ocean. In 2017 she began her career in Croatia as a Professional Yacht Chef. Since then, she has had the privilege of exploring and working in many places all over the world including Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and many of the Caribbean islands.
  The Virgin Islands quickly became one of her favorite places after sailing and working there at the end of 2018. She knew instantly that she wanted to make the Caribbean her home.
  She enjoys traveling, hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, exercising, and most importantly, curating unique and delicious meals for her loved ones and for her guests.
  In addition to Jessa’s many hobbies and extensive experience in the industry, she has completed multiple certifications in the last couple of years that have helped her evolve personally and professionally. She has her 100 Ton United States Coast Guard Captains License, her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate, and her Level 2 Certification in Culinary Arts.

  She believes that cooking is all about sharing and being able to share unique and tasty dishes with the guests is so important to her!
  One of her favorite parts about traveling is being able to experience new cultures and cuisines and incorporating these cuisines into her menu. Seafood is a personal favorite of Jessa’s, to cook and to eat! Jessa finds it very special to be able to use the local seafood for her dishes. On board Pura Vida, Jessa will ensure that your vacation is filled with wholesome, fresh, and local meals. She has experience working with all dietary restrictions and food allergies and will work with you and your group to create the perfect menu for your week.
  Jamie and Jessa are looking forward to receiving guests onboard Pura Vida and ensuring they have a fun-filled charter experience.

  Favorite Trip To Date!

  Our favorite spots were the Baths and the stunning water at White Bay. We loved snorkeling at the Indians, and we especially enjoyed our time on the boat with the crew. This was our favorite trip to date! We enjoyed everything about our vacation on Pura Vida. We made so many family memories. We really want to do this again!!

  Favorite Vacation Ever!

  Truly hard to pick a favorite given the ground we covered in Paradise. Snorkeling at Anegada and exploring the Baths standout. It was the beautiful scenery and family time which will always be remembered. We had heard great things about this trip, But the crew exceeded our expectations in every way. They make you feel so relaxed; attend to your every need; prepare perfect meals; and plan the perfect itinerary. We cannot say enough about those two. They made it our favorite vacation ever.

  Favorite

  Our favorites in no particular order were The Baths, snorkeling with a barracuda for 45 min, snorkeling in the many various locations seeing stingrays and identifying different fish, being served marvelous tropical drinks and BEAUTIFUL meals...... and the bean bags when under sail.

  Would Recommend This Trip

  This trip was literally the best vacation I’ve had. The boat: impeccable. The service: top tier. The BVI?? Insanely beautiful!! We went for my partner‘s 50th birthday and it was the best decision we’ve made. The crew gave us the best trip we could possibly imagine and more. Anything we wanted, they helped us get. From deciding where to go on a day by day basis, to offering activities, we can try, to the food that was prepared, the whole thing was amazing. There was always a delightful spread on the table and drinks flowing. We were able to go on hikes, sea waterfalls, go to caves and pools, and explore some of the islands. There is something for everyone. Would recommend this trip, and these hosts to anyone!!
