With excellent communication, from the time you leave the airport to your final destination, we provide an elevated service with seamless transition from ground taxi to water taxi, direct to your resort or sailboat. We want to be the perfect start to your vacation as well as the perfect closing to your time in the Virgin Islands.
Meet the Captain/Crew
Captain Phil has over 15 years of experience as a boat captain in the Virgin Islands and has lots of local knowledge both in and out of the water. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, he was born in a boat, grew up in the water and became a show skier. Today he enjoys spending time and working with his first mate, Erika. Erika left her hometown of nearly 50 years in Colorado for the Virgin Islands with a goal of self-discovery. After 30 years as a CFO, she started designing handbags in the VI, launched a new company/brand and is now the designer/owner of Ola Kala Handbags; handmade in Spain. She enjoys playing tennis and spending time on the water with her “Boatdriver” Phil. When not working together, the couple enjoys snorkeling, beach days with their westie dog and playing Chess.
