Capt. Brad
As a North Carolina native, one of Brad’s earliest memories is sailing with his father in the Pamlico Sound on the family boat, a 12’O’day Widgeon. By age ten, he could singlehandedly sail the family boat, and he spent many summers attending sailing camp, ultimately joining the staffas an instructor by age sixteen. He continued teaching sailing while attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, sharing his passion by helping others learn the craft. Having graduated from N.C. State University with a degree in mechanical engineering, he also has a keen awareness of the inner workings of many vessel systems. His combination of formal engineering training and real-world troubleshooting experience means he's equally comfortable consulting technical manuals or improvising solutions when the unexpected inevitably occurs on the water. Brad also has a strong background in hospitality, having worked in both front and back of house positions in numerous hotels, restaurants and bars while pursuing his undergraduate degree. Brad worked as an engineer for a private company in Homer, Alaska, traveling throughout the U.S. and internationally to Turkmenistan for border security installations, but was soon reacquainted with his need to be on the water after taking a vacation cruising around Florida on a friend’s 28’Cape Dory. This prompted a career change into charter fishing boats in Alaska, and subsequently multiple boat deliveries along the Inside Passage, and throughout the Caribbean. With over 40,000 NM under his belt, spanning from the Atlantic coast, the rugged north Pacific and the Virgin Islands, Brad is an accomplished captain and enjoys sharing his experiences with others.
Chef Zoe
Growing up in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, Zoe developed a natural affinity for water, spending summers enjoying fishing trips, water sports, and wilderness canoeing. The family story goes that her love for fine foods began with her first ever bite of solid food as a baby: fresh homemade focaccia. Since she can remember, cooking and serving food to loved ones has been a passion and deep source of joy. With a background in a family-owned community newspaper, Zoe gained valuable experience in customer service, management, and organization. These skills translate perfectly to her role as mate and chef. Her fine arts education enhances her culinary presentations, where she combines technique with creativity to deliver meals that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Zoe's international travels have always centered around exploring local cuisines, enriching her diverse cooking style.
When the publishing industry began changing, Zoe sought new horizons and made the bold decision to drive to Alaska sight unseen. After her first day working on a charter fishing boat in Alaska, she knew she had found a special calling working on the water, and worked on a variety of vessels in Alaska ranging from 28’to 65’. Now having earned her captain's license, she continues to expand her maritime knowledge with every voyage, which includes vessel deliveries from the Virgin Islands to both Grenada and Florida.
Brad and Zoe met in Alaska almost 9 years ago (for a funny story, ask how!) and they've been working on charter vessels, both independently and as a team since then. They are happiest when on the water, whether it’s fishing or sharing good food and laughter with new and old friends alike.
Together, Brad and Zoe make an exceptional team—combining his seasoned seamanship and engineering expertise with her artistic culinary flair and warm hospitality. Whether he’s navigating the perfect course or troubleshooting systems at sea, and she’s crafting visually stunning, flavor-forward dishes, their shared love for the water and genuine delight in creating memorable experiences ensure every charter is seamless, safe, and supremely satisfying. Together, they look forward to welcoming you aboard and turning each voyage into a celebration of adventure, friendship, and outstanding service.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Wow! I don’t know where to begin! The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. The amenities on the boat are top notch, and of course the islands and scenery are beautiful; the hosts Brad and Zoe are the shining stars. We felt like welcome special guests at all times. They were ever present when needed and quietly in the background when we were relaxing. The crew is so important on this sort of vacation, and in that regard PurelyBlu is just perfect and easy. Anyone who boats will understand that there are many variables that can derail plans, but we never felt anything was a bit of trouble or out of reach. Just a special and perfect vacation for our multi-generational group.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Sailing through the islands on PurelyBlu was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Being able to stay on this boat and explore so many new places was unbelievable. Brad & Zoe make the greatest team and the success of the vacation would not be possible without them. They truly have a special place in our hearts. I am so grateful for this opportunity. THANK YOU! x 1000. Thank you all so so much for such a truly amazing week. This was something none of us have ever experienced and you all sure showed us it better than anyone else could. We will forever remember you all and this for a lifetime.

Our family had a magical week on PurelyBlu. Captain Brad and Zoe were unbelievable. Their preparation and adaptability made everyone feel special. We could not have asked for a more attentive team to take care of us. We can't wait to do this again! Cheers!

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
An unbelievable week! truly a bucket list experience for all types of people. The boat is beautiful as are the islands. However, our week was truly made by the care and effort of Brad and Zoe. I can't sing higher praises. Much love to PurelyBlu, I hope we meet again.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Cruising the islands on PurelyBlu for a week was a perfect vacation! Captain Brad and Zoe made the experience — I can't imagine having anyone take better care of us! I'm sure I gained 5lbs from Zoe's wonderful cooking, but it was worth it! Brad helped plan our days which included snorkeling, diving, sightseeing, eating & drinking!! Whatever we wanted — they were very hospitable and accommodating! The boat was always pristine and well maintained. I'm hoping I get to do this again with them sometimes — I am so thankful my son and family included me on this wonderful trip!

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Thank you, thank you so much. We had such a lovely time on PurelyBlu. Captain Brad and Zoe were fantastic. They were attentive and adaptable to all our needs. They were there when we needed them and ghosts when it was family time. They always seemed to anticipate our needs. Overall this will go down as one of our best family vacations.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Thank you so much for the opportunity to sail with Brad and Zoe. It was our first time in the area and we were not disappointed. Fantastic views, culture, beaches and the boat was pristine. Brad and Zoe were amazing hosts and we really appreciated the effort to accommodate our family’s needs. The itinerary was fantastic, especially since we had no idea what we were stepping into. Thank you again for everything! We hope to come back soon and do it again. We’ve been talking about this trip for years. We had a picture in our minds for how the week might go and PurelyBlu and Brad and Zoe did not disappoint — exceeded our expectations! It has been our very best family vacation so far. When we come back to the BVI…. we will definitely come back. Thank you so much for the fantastic week and wonderful memories.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
We had a beautiful week on PurelyBlu. The British Virgin Islands are beautiful and Brad and Zoe were experts at navigating the days of our trip. Whether we wanted a day of relaxing, snorkeling, site-seeing, they had the perfect recommendation everytime! The food was amazing with each meal more creative and better than the last. The careful attention paid to our food preferences left each of our five family members happy. The atmosphere and service enabled us to share special family time we don’t often get. We can’t thank Zoe and Brad enough for curating such a magical trip.

Where to begin...
It's hard to know where to begin but please sit back and enjoy this note almost as much as we enjoyed our trip with Kelsey and Cassie!
Our very first adventure chartering a yacht and this set the standard for all future charters.
From the first call with Kelsey, about a week before departure, we knew we were in good hands...friendly hands...someone who wanted to make this trip special...and boy did she ever.
We arrived in St. Thomas with a text from Kelsey that a car had been arranged to take us to the dock. (Already, things are being taken care of for us). Then, we met Kelsey...this happy, warm and caring young woman greeting us with open arms and hugs. We were instant friends. We came aboard and met the DELICIOUS Cassie...the chef of chefs. A brief tour, unpacking, and then the start of 6 unbelievable days beginning with special drinks and appetizers.
Our first dinner was 5 star and it only kept getting better and better. Cassie managed to make meals that were unique and delicious and beautiful to look at....AND, she navigate around dietary restrictions while managing to serve everyone at the same time. I gained 8 pounds in 6 days.....I hold Cassie deliciously responsible.
Every day brought a new adventure. Kelsey guided us through the days activities after breakfast each morning. We were in her capable and creative hands. Always going someplace interesting (she knows everything about every inch of the BVI and USVI).
This was an anniversary cruise and birthday cruise gift for my 75 year old husband. These two women made this a trip we will cherish and never forget. We are already looking into more charters as long as we can be with Kelsey and Cassie, since they are the gold standard and why would we want anyone else.
Oh, and Rachel, the rep for the boat....what a delight. Navigating me through every step until we settled on the right boat and crew. She made this first-time adventure something we will HAVE to repeat.
Thank you all. I could go on and on with every detail but I think you get the picture. The Kelsey and Cassie show is the only show in town. I'm still smiling (although 8 pounds heavier).
Hoping to hose Kelsey and Cassie at our home in West Palm Beach when they have free time in Florida.
Most sincerely and with gratitude,
David Cohen and Paul Bernabeo.
WOW WOW WOW
This was our first ever charter and there will never be another one as great as this one. Captain Kelsey and Chef extraordinaire Cassie made this trip unbelievable. Everything worked brilliantly and we cried when we had to leave. You exceeded our every expectation. We will do this again and hope we get Kelsey and Cassie again...they LOVE what they do. By the way we dined ashore one night and it didn't compare to Cassie's cooking. WOW WOW WOW!
Every Moment was Exquisite
Thank you for an unforgettable experience in the USVI and BVI's. Your dedication, skills and kindness made every moment exquisite. The crystal waters you took us to, the painkillers, and Mindy's gourmet dinner-- every detail was perfect! Your passion for sailing and cooking was reflected in every aspect of our trip. Thank your for turning our vacation into a dream come true. We hope to sail together again in the future!!
Extra Special For Our Children
We really appreciate the extra touches that both Captain Jabez and Chef Mindy did to help our trip be extra special for our children. Captain Jabez was very hands on showing them all about life on the boat and fun activities for kids. Chef Mindy created delicious meals that encouraged our picky eaters to try new foods and eat more vegetables. So grateful we were blessed with these two!
New Family
Where do we begin? A trip of a lifetime. Memories with family and new family (Jabez and Mindy) that we will forever cherish.
Remember, Redo, and Recommend!
Thank you for the attentions, the amazing food, the sunset drinks, very cool and relaxing ambiance. Definitely an experience to remember, to redo, and to recommend.
Above and Beyond
This trip was amazing! The beauty of this place is like no other! Jabez and Mindy went above and beyond to make our trip the BEST! We will definitely be back!
Clean Plate Club
Fantastic food all week! I've never cleaned off so many plates of food in my life!
Pleasant Personality
Chef Mindy prepared such delicious food, we want to take her home with us. She also has such a pleasant personality which only added to our experience.
One of a Kind
Literally amazing-- all the places we went were sooo pretty and it's an experience that you can't just have in your camera roll, it just stays in your heart. The food 11/10, places were a million/10. I would for sure come back-- it is a one of a kind place.
Discovered Sailing
BEST TRIP I'VE BEEN ON! (And found my newest interest- sailing!) Plus the best chef and captain!
Absolute Best Time!!
Our girls were in awe. They had the absolute best time. They kept saying that they couldn’t believe how beautiful this is. It was a trip of a lifetime at their age.
Colin and Alicia LOVED IT. They said it is the “most bada** thing they have ever done”.
Mindy and Jabez were absolutely great. Captain Jabez was so confident and was just so grounded, a good head on his shoulders and made us all feel super comfortable. When he wasn’t doing his job he was helping Mindy and asked if he needed anything to drink etc. They were an incredible team. The food was fantastic, and beautifully presented! We looked forward to every single meal. (They also loved the SA meal Jabez prepared) 😊
Jabez was great about getting the girls and ourselves up to do activities. Mindy took the kids over one day to Bitter End and hung out with the kids before the adults came over. It was so sweet of her and the girls loved it. They would hang out if we asked them to hang out but also knew when to give space. There was lots of sailing and we felt like we covered so much ground! Jabez was full of great suggestions. The crew even bought them a map and Jabez drew out their route!
14-50 years old and EVERYONE on the boat had an incredible trip.
Can't wait to do it again!

Capt. Brad
As a North Carolina native, one of Brad’s earliest memories is sailing with his father in the Pamlico Sound on the family boat, a 12’O’day Widgeon. By age ten, he could singlehandedly sail the family boat, and he spent many summers attending sailing camp, ultimately joining the staffas an instructor by age sixteen. He continued teaching sailing while attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, sharing his passion by helping others learn the craft. Having graduated from N.C. State University with a degree in mechanical engineering, he also has a keen awareness of the inner workings of many vessel systems. His combination of formal engineering training and real-world troubleshooting experience means he's equally comfortable consulting technical manuals or improvising solutions when the unexpected inevitably occurs on the water. Brad also has a strong background in hospitality, having worked in both front and back of house positions in numerous hotels, restaurants and bars while pursuing his undergraduate degree. Brad worked as an engineer for a private company in Homer, Alaska, traveling throughout the U.S. and internationally to Turkmenistan for border security installations, but was soon reacquainted with his need to be on the water after taking a vacation cruising around Florida on a friend’s 28’Cape Dory. This prompted a career change into charter fishing boats in Alaska, and subsequently multiple boat deliveries along the Inside Passage, and throughout the Caribbean. With over 40,000 NM under his belt, spanning from the Atlantic coast, the rugged north Pacific and the Virgin Islands, Brad is an accomplished captain and enjoys sharing his experiences with others.
Chef Zoe
Growing up in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, Zoe developed a natural affinity for water, spending summers enjoying fishing trips, water sports, and wilderness canoeing. The family story goes that her love for fine foods began with her first ever bite of solid food as a baby: fresh homemade focaccia. Since she can remember, cooking and serving food to loved ones has been a passion and deep source of joy. With a background in a family-owned community newspaper, Zoe gained valuable experience in customer service, management, and organization. These skills translate perfectly to her role as mate and chef. Her fine arts education enhances her culinary presentations, where she combines technique with creativity to deliver meals that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Zoe's international travels have always centered around exploring local cuisines, enriching her diverse cooking style.
When the publishing industry began changing, Zoe sought new horizons and made the bold decision to drive to Alaska sight unseen. After her first day working on a charter fishing boat in Alaska, she knew she had found a special calling working on the water, and worked on a variety of vessels in Alaska ranging from 28’to 65’. Now having earned her captain's license, she continues to expand her maritime knowledge with every voyage, which includes vessel deliveries from the Virgin Islands to both Grenada and Florida.
Brad and Zoe met in Alaska almost 9 years ago (for a funny story, ask how!) and they've been working on charter vessels, both independently and as a team since then. They are happiest when on the water, whether it’s fishing or sharing good food and laughter with new and old friends alike.
Together, Brad and Zoe make an exceptional team—combining his seasoned seamanship and engineering expertise with her artistic culinary flair and warm hospitality. Whether he’s navigating the perfect course or troubleshooting systems at sea, and she’s crafting visually stunning, flavor-forward dishes, their shared love for the water and genuine delight in creating memorable experiences ensure every charter is seamless, safe, and supremely satisfying. Together, they look forward to welcoming you aboard and turning each voyage into a celebration of adventure, friendship, and outstanding service.

Guest Reviews
Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Wow! I don’t know where to begin! The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. The amenities on the boat are top notch, and of course the islands and scenery are beautiful; the hosts Brad and Zoe are the shining stars. We felt like welcome special guests at all times. They were ever present when needed and quietly in the background when we were relaxing. The crew is so important on this sort of vacation, and in that regard PurelyBlu is just perfect and easy. Anyone who boats will understand that there are many variables that can derail plans, but we never felt anything was a bit of trouble or out of reach. Just a special and perfect vacation for our multi-generational group.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Sailing through the islands on PurelyBlu was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Being able to stay on this boat and explore so many new places was unbelievable. Brad & Zoe make the greatest team and the success of the vacation would not be possible without them. They truly have a special place in our hearts. I am so grateful for this opportunity. THANK YOU! x 1000. Thank you all so so much for such a truly amazing week. This was something none of us have ever experienced and you all sure showed us it better than anyone else could. We will forever remember you all and this for a lifetime.

Our family had a magical week on PurelyBlu. Captain Brad and Zoe were unbelievable. Their preparation and adaptability made everyone feel special. We could not have asked for a more attentive team to take care of us. We can't wait to do this again! Cheers!

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
An unbelievable week! truly a bucket list experience for all types of people. The boat is beautiful as are the islands. However, our week was truly made by the care and effort of Brad and Zoe. I can't sing higher praises. Much love to PurelyBlu, I hope we meet again.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Cruising the islands on PurelyBlu for a week was a perfect vacation! Captain Brad and Zoe made the experience — I can't imagine having anyone take better care of us! I'm sure I gained 5lbs from Zoe's wonderful cooking, but it was worth it! Brad helped plan our days which included snorkeling, diving, sightseeing, eating & drinking!! Whatever we wanted — they were very hospitable and accommodating! The boat was always pristine and well maintained. I'm hoping I get to do this again with them sometimes — I am so thankful my son and family included me on this wonderful trip!

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Thank you, thank you so much. We had such a lovely time on PurelyBlu. Captain Brad and Zoe were fantastic. They were attentive and adaptable to all our needs. They were there when we needed them and ghosts when it was family time. They always seemed to anticipate our needs. Overall this will go down as one of our best family vacations.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
Thank you so much for the opportunity to sail with Brad and Zoe. It was our first time in the area and we were not disappointed. Fantastic views, culture, beaches and the boat was pristine. Brad and Zoe were amazing hosts and we really appreciated the effort to accommodate our family’s needs. The itinerary was fantastic, especially since we had no idea what we were stepping into. Thank you again for everything! We hope to come back soon and do it again. We’ve been talking about this trip for years. We had a picture in our minds for how the week might go and PurelyBlu and Brad and Zoe did not disappoint — exceeded our expectations! It has been our very best family vacation so far. When we come back to the BVI…. we will definitely come back. Thank you so much for the fantastic week and wonderful memories.

Guest Review From Previous Yacht
We had a beautiful week on PurelyBlu. The British Virgin Islands are beautiful and Brad and Zoe were experts at navigating the days of our trip. Whether we wanted a day of relaxing, snorkeling, site-seeing, they had the perfect recommendation everytime! The food was amazing with each meal more creative and better than the last. The careful attention paid to our food preferences left each of our five family members happy. The atmosphere and service enabled us to share special family time we don’t often get. We can’t thank Zoe and Brad enough for curating such a magical trip.

Where to begin...
It's hard to know where to begin but please sit back and enjoy this note almost as much as we enjoyed our trip with Kelsey and Cassie!
Our very first adventure chartering a yacht and this set the standard for all future charters.
From the first call with Kelsey, about a week before departure, we knew we were in good hands...friendly hands...someone who wanted to make this trip special...and boy did she ever.
We arrived in St. Thomas with a text from Kelsey that a car had been arranged to take us to the dock. (Already, things are being taken care of for us). Then, we met Kelsey...this happy, warm and caring young woman greeting us with open arms and hugs. We were instant friends. We came aboard and met the DELICIOUS Cassie...the chef of chefs. A brief tour, unpacking, and then the start of 6 unbelievable days beginning with special drinks and appetizers.
Our first dinner was 5 star and it only kept getting better and better. Cassie managed to make meals that were unique and delicious and beautiful to look at....AND, she navigate around dietary restrictions while managing to serve everyone at the same time. I gained 8 pounds in 6 days.....I hold Cassie deliciously responsible.
Every day brought a new adventure. Kelsey guided us through the days activities after breakfast each morning. We were in her capable and creative hands. Always going someplace interesting (she knows everything about every inch of the BVI and USVI).
This was an anniversary cruise and birthday cruise gift for my 75 year old husband. These two women made this a trip we will cherish and never forget. We are already looking into more charters as long as we can be with Kelsey and Cassie, since they are the gold standard and why would we want anyone else.
Oh, and Rachel, the rep for the boat....what a delight. Navigating me through every step until we settled on the right boat and crew. She made this first-time adventure something we will HAVE to repeat.
Thank you all. I could go on and on with every detail but I think you get the picture. The Kelsey and Cassie show is the only show in town. I'm still smiling (although 8 pounds heavier).
Hoping to hose Kelsey and Cassie at our home in West Palm Beach when they have free time in Florida.
Most sincerely and with gratitude,
David Cohen and Paul Bernabeo.
WOW WOW WOW
This was our first ever charter and there will never be another one as great as this one. Captain Kelsey and Chef extraordinaire Cassie made this trip unbelievable. Everything worked brilliantly and we cried when we had to leave. You exceeded our every expectation. We will do this again and hope we get Kelsey and Cassie again...they LOVE what they do. By the way we dined ashore one night and it didn't compare to Cassie's cooking. WOW WOW WOW!
Every Moment was Exquisite
Thank you for an unforgettable experience in the USVI and BVI's. Your dedication, skills and kindness made every moment exquisite. The crystal waters you took us to, the painkillers, and Mindy's gourmet dinner-- every detail was perfect! Your passion for sailing and cooking was reflected in every aspect of our trip. Thank your for turning our vacation into a dream come true. We hope to sail together again in the future!!
Extra Special For Our Children
We really appreciate the extra touches that both Captain Jabez and Chef Mindy did to help our trip be extra special for our children. Captain Jabez was very hands on showing them all about life on the boat and fun activities for kids. Chef Mindy created delicious meals that encouraged our picky eaters to try new foods and eat more vegetables. So grateful we were blessed with these two!
New Family
Where do we begin? A trip of a lifetime. Memories with family and new family (Jabez and Mindy) that we will forever cherish.
Remember, Redo, and Recommend!
Thank you for the attentions, the amazing food, the sunset drinks, very cool and relaxing ambiance. Definitely an experience to remember, to redo, and to recommend.
Above and Beyond
This trip was amazing! The beauty of this place is like no other! Jabez and Mindy went above and beyond to make our trip the BEST! We will definitely be back!
Clean Plate Club
Fantastic food all week! I've never cleaned off so many plates of food in my life!
Pleasant Personality
Chef Mindy prepared such delicious food, we want to take her home with us. She also has such a pleasant personality which only added to our experience.
One of a Kind
Literally amazing-- all the places we went were sooo pretty and it's an experience that you can't just have in your camera roll, it just stays in your heart. The food 11/10, places were a million/10. I would for sure come back-- it is a one of a kind place.
Discovered Sailing
BEST TRIP I'VE BEEN ON! (And found my newest interest- sailing!) Plus the best chef and captain!
Absolute Best Time!!
Our girls were in awe. They had the absolute best time. They kept saying that they couldn’t believe how beautiful this is. It was a trip of a lifetime at their age.
Colin and Alicia LOVED IT. They said it is the “most bada** thing they have ever done”.
Mindy and Jabez were absolutely great. Captain Jabez was so confident and was just so grounded, a good head on his shoulders and made us all feel super comfortable. When he wasn’t doing his job he was helping Mindy and asked if he needed anything to drink etc. They were an incredible team. The food was fantastic, and beautifully presented! We looked forward to every single meal. (They also loved the SA meal Jabez prepared) 😊
Jabez was great about getting the girls and ourselves up to do activities. Mindy took the kids over one day to Bitter End and hung out with the kids before the adults came over. It was so sweet of her and the girls loved it. They would hang out if we asked them to hang out but also knew when to give space. There was lots of sailing and we felt like we covered so much ground! Jabez was full of great suggestions. The crew even bought them a map and Jabez drew out their route!
14-50 years old and EVERYONE on the boat had an incredible trip.
Can't wait to do it again!
