SUITE LIFE Yacht Charter Motor Boat

Crew Profile

Captain Roy has spent his entire life on the water working in the maritime industry, from building boats to captaining yachts and racing sailboats. Roy was born and raised on the East coast, where he gained his love of sailing from his Dad going up and down the Hudson River. Roy then felt the pull of the West coast and decided to attend University of Washington, where he earned an Electrical Engineering degree. He spent his early career working in corporate America, but quickly decided being on the water and providing guests memorable experiences was his calling. After getting his 100 ton license, the now Captain Roy, started his own successful whale watching business in the San Juan islands, of the Pacific Northwest.. He then expanded the business to include a marine adventure camp and Inn also in the San Juan islands. On a trip with friends, Roy and his family were introduced to the Virgin Islands many years ago, and it was love at first sight. Within a year, Captain Roy and his young family moved to the Virgin Islands and he focused on providing guests day charters throughout the 60+ islands and cays of the Virgin Islands. Based on much encouragement and feedback from many of his guests, Captain Roy and his partner Ann launched Suite Life Yachting onboard a 92' luxury motor yacht. Captain Roy holds his U.S. Coast Guard 200 ton captain's license and is pleased to take you safely yachting throughout the Virgin lslands. As a resident of the Virgin Islands for almost 20 years, Roy is able to provide a truly "local" experience from introducing guests to many of the infamous locals to the treasured "off the grid" destinations few know about. Welcome Aboard!

Chef Heather Hessler: Born and raised in New Jersey, Heather's dad had her up on a surfboard since she was three years old. Her passion for the ocean started then. She fell in love with the Virgin Islands after traveling there at a young age. After traveling and exploring the Caribbean, Heather took home to the Island of St. Thomas where she attended the University of the Virgin Islands. She has been in and around the Virgin Islands and other Caribbean islands for over 17 years. As much as Heather loves being in or around the ocean she has spent equal time in the kitchen. She started working in the restaurant/hospitality business at 16. She has been mentored by some of the best local St. Thomas chefs, where she also became a sought after mixologist creating inspired libations in some of the island's top martini bars. Heather specializes in preparing healthy, flavorful well-balanced meals that are also aesthetically pleasing. She communicates with her guests pre-charter to tailor a menu to suit any dietary restrictions or preferences. She is well versed in vegetarian/pescatarian/vegan/gluten free diets. Heather draws particular inspiration from Latin, Caribbean and Asian cuisine influences.
