Captain Dick welcomes all guests with his famous Captain’s Cocktails nightly! He is an avid Cribbage player and will challenge the best!

Dear Dick & Kim —
I could write a book of all the little things & not so little things that you did to make our time on Deep Blue so extraordinary.
Even more than what you “did” its who you are & your way of being with us this week. More than a crew… you were teachers, friends, confidants, guides, our adventure buddies.
Spectacular hospitality that is rarely experienced in todays world!
Thank you so much for everything — I am leaving rested & rejuvenated —
Cant wait to do this again —
Not goodbye — see you later!
❤️ Nancy ….

Captain Dick —
You guided & supported me through two courageous things (for me) that I never would have done without your calm, patient, kind presence —
Jumping off the Willy T was terrifying and I wouldn’t have done it… after everyone left, you stayed. Steady. Believing in me into the jump!
And… I had 0 intention of diving. You are why I feel safe & brave enough to try it again. Holding my hand the entire time. Constant. Support. Belief.
Thank you for making a difference for me! Helping me lean into fear & being an encourager without pushing me ❤️ Grateful
Nancy

Dear Dick & Kim
It is our last morning on Deep Blue and we will depart with such fond memories. The “Blue” of the Caribbean is incredible and will be missed.
You provided a wonderful opportunity for us to be together as a family - how important is that!
David’s fifth birthday celebration was above and beyond your hostess responsibilities, but is indicative of the care and kindness you have shown us!
Winds at your back and smooth sailing —

We had such a magical week sailing the BVI’s with you. The boat is so special and outfitted so thoroughly, truly one could arrive with a bathing suit and be set for the week. But the true secret sauce is you two. Kim is the most gracious hostess. Our every need and want was catered to with a loving heart. Captain Dick was so generous with his knowledge, guidance and enthusiasm. Thank you for making memories with us all . The best to you both in 2025.

Dear Captain Dick and Chef/First Mate Kim,
First things first: I wanna thank you both with all my heart—or as we say back home, from the bottom of my Talladega-loving heart—for the most unbelievable two weeks out on the shimmering seas of Antigua. If cruising were a NASCAR race, y’all just took the checkered flag and did a victory lap in a golden speedboat.
Captain Dick, you steered us through those waters like I handle my Chevy on a racetrack—smooth, fast, and making it look easy. Every turn of the boat was like hitting the perfect drift. And Kim, lord have mercy, your cooking had more flair than a pit road on race day. I swear, those meals could win championships. They fueled us up better than my crew chief does before the final laps.
Between the sunsets that looked like they were painted just for us, the laughter we shared, and the peace of being out there with nothing but the blue around us, I felt like I was in one of those fancy TV commercials. Except it was real life, and y’all were the stars of the show.
So, from the depths of my racing soul, thank you for every moment, every meal, and every memory. We might not have been going 200 mph, but I’d say we were flying all the same. Let’s do it again sometime—shake and bake!
July 2024
We recently had the pleasure of spending two unforgettable weeks sailing around Antigua aboard the magnificent 'Deep Blue,' under the expert care of Captain Dick and Chef Kim. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
**Captain Dick** is a true master of the seas. His extensive knowledge of the waters around Antigua ensured that each day brought new and exciting destinations. His navigation skills were impeccable, making us feel safe and confident throughout our journey. Captain Dick’s enthusiasm for sailing and his deep understanding of the local culture and history added a rich layer to our adventure. He was always ready with a fascinating story or a hidden gem of a location to explore, making our trip both educational and thrilling.
**Chef Kim** delighted us with culinary creations that were nothing short of gourmet. Each meal was a testament to her creativity and skill, incorporating fresh, local ingredients in ways that highlighted the flavors of the Caribbean. From decadent breakfasts to exquisite dinners under the stars, Chef Kim's meals were a highlight of our journey. She was also incredibly accommodating of dietary preferences and needs, ensuring that everyone aboard enjoyed the dining experience to the fullest.
The **'Deep Blue'** itself is a stunning vessel, impeccably maintained and equipped with everything one could need for a luxurious sailing adventure. The spacious and comfortable accommodations made our stay on board feel like a five-star floating hotel. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to provide the utmost comfort and relaxation.
Captain Dick and Chef Kim's teamwork and dedication to providing an exceptional sailing experience were evident in every aspect of our trip. Their warm hospitality, professionalism, and genuine passion for what they do created an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy that will be remembered fondly by all of us.
If you are looking for a sailing adventure that combines breathtaking destinations, top-notch service, and unforgettable memories, look no further than Captain Dick, Chef Kim, and the 'Deep Blue.' We can’t recommend them highly enough and are already dreaming of our next voyage with this incredible team.
Thank you, Captain Dick and Chef Kim, for an amazing journey around Antigua. We look forward to sailing with you again!

Captain Dick / Chef Kim
I sincerely appreciate the adventure we experienced with you & Chef Kim. Being an Ocean / Beach enthusiast, one of the things I hadn't done was to go out on a CAT vacay!! Once out on the water with you & Kim the dream became a reality. More than I expected!! The problem will be --- now that I've gone with you both on Deep Blue, I wouldn't want to be with any other crew or on any other boat (CAT). Here's to our next trip...................
PS - next time take less pics of Mark and more of ME 😂😎🌴⛵
Sincerely,

We are forever grateful to you both. You are exceptional crew, and now we get to call you family. From the bottom of our heart, thank you.

We have been to the islands, but never really to the islands, until now. Spending a Friday to Friday with the most amazing co-crew was the most memorable sailing trip we’ve ever had. Their dedication to us as guests was unmatched, and will be forever cherished. Never a dull moment, and out of this world cuisine made our trip first class.
February 2024

What an amazing experience this has been. You both went above and beyond to make this charter so memorable. Captain Dick made us feel so safe with his boat skills, and we enjoyed the chance to go diving. We loved the itinerary and knowledge of each anchorage we visited. Chef Kim was the perfect chef and hostess. She anticipated our needs and made it happen. Her food was top notch from filet mignon, seared tuna, tiramisu, and a chocolate mousse to die for. I would recommend Kim and Dick as crew to anyone looking for a fabulous time in the Caribbean.
February 2024
We had a wonderful trip on the Deep Blue with Captain Dick and his wonderful wife Kim. The 58 foot Leopard Catamaran is fantastic, Captain Dick is outstanding at the helm and his wife Kim made fantastic food and beverage. They are simply wonderful hosts and we cannot wait to return. Their non stop efforts insured that a great time was had by everyone. Great Sailboat, perfect location, superb food and even better people. We cannot wait to sail with them again!

January 2024
Not sure where we start. Of all the catamaran trips we’ve done, this was by far the best one. You both fit in so well with our group, you are like family.
January 2024
What a week, don’t even know when to start. Thank you for your hospitality, kindness, and sharing your slice of heaven with us. We are beyond grateful for this past week on the ocean with you. This is a trip none of us will ever forget.
January 2024
We can’t even put into words what an amazing week we’ve had. Every single moment was our favorite. Your knowledge, attention to detail, endless love you put into the food, the activities, the adventures, and making us feeling safe and cared for, is truly something we’ll never forget. We are forever grateful to you both. You are exceptional crew, and now we get to call you family. From the bottom of our heart, thank you.

They are passionate about the experience they deliver, cultivating a feeling of adventure and joy, that is sure to last far beyond your time in their care.
Captain Dick Stuart
Captain Dick Stuart, a mechanical engineer by training, enjoyed a successful career in construction sales management. He started his sailing career at the early age of 10 in an El Toro on Lafayette Reservoir in Northern California. Growing up, much of his time was spent sailing on San Francisco Bay and extensively bareboat chartering throughout the Caribbean. Captain Dick, in preparation for what he thought was a “retirement dream plan” continued to hone his sailing skills over the years.
He holds a 100 TON MASTERS WITH SAILING ENDORSEMENT, an FCC Marine Radio Operators Certification and a Dive Instructor Certification. Captain Dick has an excellent reputation as “the troubleshooting ninja”, and uses his knowledge of mechanical systems to anticipate all the “what ifs.”
Safety is Captain Dick’s priority for his guests, but FUN is his second! An adventure seeker and water lover, he moved to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico in 2017 and loves sailing the beautiful aquamarine waters and island hopping.
Captain Dick welcomes all guests with his famous Captain’s Cocktails nightly! He is an avid Cribbage player and will challenge the best!
Chef/Stew Kim Richards
Kim’s love for sailing began in 2012,the first time she set foot on a catamaran in the BVI. She has been“hooked” ever since! After completed sailing classes in Colorado and California, Kim captained several catamarans in Mexico and the Caribbean. She delights in creating the ultimate pampering venue for guests and sharing the magical experience of sailing the beautiful Caribbean waters!
An accomplished business owner, motivational speaker and author, she understands the ultimate importance of customer service and has a keen eye for personal detail. Kim is extremely passionate about food and hospitality, ensuring every delicious meal is prepared according to guest preference. From her attention to detail to her carefully crafted meals and cocktails, Kim ensures your vacation experience far exceeds your expectations!
An avid traveler, Kim has a great sense of adventure. Her adventures have taken her bungee jumping in New Zealand, skiing in the European Alps, fly fishing in Montana and Utah, volunteering as a nurse (former ER and Trauma RN) in Ethiopia and Uganda, hiking in Patagonia and Class V white water rafting in Colorado. A fitness and yoga instructor for over 30 years, she lives an active lifestyle in whatever location she may be.
Kim exudes a tranquility to the guests that is based on her lifelong practice of yoga and meditation, allowing everyone the opportunity to absorb the soothing nature of the sea. Come along as she paddle boards to the shore for a yoga on the beach session!

Dear Dick & Kim —
I could write a book of all the little things & not so little things that you did to make our time on Deep Blue so extraordinary.
Even more than what you “did” its who you are & your way of being with us this week. More than a crew… you were teachers, friends, confidants, guides, our adventure buddies.
Spectacular hospitality that is rarely experienced in todays world!
Thank you so much for everything — I am leaving rested & rejuvenated —
Cant wait to do this again —
Not goodbye — see you later!
❤️ Nancy ….

Captain Dick —
You guided & supported me through two courageous things (for me) that I never would have done without your calm, patient, kind presence —
Jumping off the Willy T was terrifying and I wouldn’t have done it… after everyone left, you stayed. Steady. Believing in me into the jump!
And… I had 0 intention of diving. You are why I feel safe & brave enough to try it again. Holding my hand the entire time. Constant. Support. Belief.
Thank you for making a difference for me! Helping me lean into fear & being an encourager without pushing me ❤️ Grateful

Dear Dick & Kim
It is our last morning on Deep Blue and we will depart with such fond memories. The “Blue” of the Caribbean is incredible and will be missed.
You provided a wonderful opportunity for us to be together as a family - how important is that!
David’s fifth birthday celebration was above and beyond your hostess responsibilities, but is indicative of the care and kindness you have shown us!
Winds at your back and smooth sailing —

We had such a magical week sailing the BVI’s with you. The boat is so special and outfitted so thoroughly, truly one could arrive with a bathing suit and be set for the week. But the true secret sauce is you two. Kim is the most gracious hostess. Our every need and want was catered to with a loving heart. Captain Dick was so generous with his knowledge, guidance and enthusiasm. Thank you for making memories with us all . The best to you both in 2025.

Dear Captain Dick and Chef/First Mate Kim,
First things first: I wanna thank you both with all my heart—or as we say back home, from the bottom of my Talladega-loving heart—for the most unbelievable two weeks out on the shimmering seas of Antigua. If cruising were a NASCAR race, y’all just took the checkered flag and did a victory lap in a golden speedboat.
Captain Dick, you steered us through those waters like I handle my Chevy on a racetrack—smooth, fast, and making it look easy. Every turn of the boat was like hitting the perfect drift. And Kim, lord have mercy, your cooking had more flair than a pit road on race day. I swear, those meals could win championships. They fueled us up better than my crew chief does before the final laps.
Between the sunsets that looked like they were painted just for us, the laughter we shared, and the peace of being out there with nothing but the blue around us, I felt like I was in one of those fancy TV commercials. Except it was real life, and y’all were the stars of the show.
So, from the depths of my racing soul, thank you for every moment, every meal, and every memory. We might not have been going 200 mph, but I’d say we were flying all the same. Let’s do it again sometime—shake and bake!
July 2024
We recently had the pleasure of spending two unforgettable weeks sailing around Antigua aboard the magnificent 'Deep Blue,' under the expert care of Captain Dick and Chef Kim. From start to finish, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
**Captain Dick** is a true master of the seas. His extensive knowledge of the waters around Antigua ensured that each day brought new and exciting destinations. His navigation skills were impeccable, making us feel safe and confident throughout our journey. Captain Dick’s enthusiasm for sailing and his deep understanding of the local culture and history added a rich layer to our adventure. He was always ready with a fascinating story or a hidden gem of a location to explore, making our trip both educational and thrilling.
**Chef Kim** delighted us with culinary creations that were nothing short of gourmet. Each meal was a testament to her creativity and skill, incorporating fresh, local ingredients in ways that highlighted the flavors of the Caribbean. From decadent breakfasts to exquisite dinners under the stars, Chef Kim's meals were a highlight of our journey. She was also incredibly accommodating of dietary preferences and needs, ensuring that everyone aboard enjoyed the dining experience to the fullest.
The **'Deep Blue'** itself is a stunning vessel, impeccably maintained and equipped with everything one could need for a luxurious sailing adventure. The spacious and comfortable accommodations made our stay on board feel like a five-star floating hotel. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to provide the utmost comfort and relaxation.
Captain Dick and Chef Kim's teamwork and dedication to providing an exceptional sailing experience were evident in every aspect of our trip. Their warm hospitality, professionalism, and genuine passion for what they do created an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy that will be remembered fondly by all of us.
If you are looking for a sailing adventure that combines breathtaking destinations, top-notch service, and unforgettable memories, look no further than Captain Dick, Chef Kim, and the 'Deep Blue.' We can’t recommend them highly enough and are already dreaming of our next voyage with this incredible team.
Thank you, Captain Dick and Chef Kim, for an amazing journey around Antigua. We look forward to sailing with you again!

Thank you for a wonderful week where we could unplug, relax, and escape from reality. Deep Blue is the most beautiful and coolest boat in all the places we’ve ventured to. Every single meal was absolutely delicious. The time and effort you put into our week so awesome was greatly appreciated. You two work perfectly together to make lasting memories for your guests, and we’re so blessed to have met you.

Thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime! I’ve been dreaming about it for a long time and it totally exceeded my expectations! The cleanliness of the cabins, the attention to detail, the amazing food and spectacular anchorages were wonderful but the thing we were most impressed with was how you treated us like kings and queens, catering to our every need with love and genuine care. We can’t wait to come back!

Captain Dick / Chef Kim
I sincerely appreciate the adventure we experienced with you & Chef Kim. Being an Ocean / Beach enthusiast, one of the things I hadn't done was to go out on a CAT vacay!! Once out on the water with you & Kim the dream became a reality. More than I expected!! The problem will be --- now that I've gone with you both on Deep Blue, I wouldn't want to be with any other crew or on any other boat (CAT). Here's to our next trip...................
PS - next time take less pics of Mark and more of ME 😂😎🌴⛵
Sincerely,
Kerry

We are forever grateful to you both. You are exceptional crew, and now we get to call you family. From the bottom of our heart, thank you.

Dear Captain Dick, and Miss Kim. You guys are some of the kindest and sweetest people I know, and this has been one of my favorite vacations. Kim your food was delicious, and Captain Dick, you are a funny and cool guy who was awesome to hang out with. I loved our family vacation.

Some moments in life can’t be captured in words. To say that my experience with Captain Dick and Kim will be etched on my heart forever, is an understatement.
February 2024
This is our third time in the USVI/BVI with Dick and Kim. They are the perfect crew to make a vacation memorable. If you are on this catamaran, you have made the best decision ever for your catamaran vacation experience. Dick and Kim, thank you for all your hard work. Deep Blue is a gorgeous boat.
February 2024
Our week on Deep Blue has been incredible. Dick and Kim made it feel like home. Both are a joy.
February 2024
We have been to the islands, but never really to the islands, until now. Spending a Friday to Friday with the most amazing co-crew was the most memorable sailing trip we’ve ever had. Their dedication to us as guests was unmatched, and will be forever cherished. Never a dull moment, and out of this world cuisine made our trip first class.
February 2024
Where do I begin? This was truly the most magical adventure. Thank you for embracing our silly group. It couldn’t have been a better trip, and I will never forget it. When we first started the trip, I could have never imagined the incredible time we had. You two made it so unbelievable, and I can’t thank you enough.
February 2024
What a great crew to now call family. We have totally enjoyed all the details Kim and Dick have done to make sure we all enjoyed our trip.
February 2024
It was a great trip and my family had a blast. You guys were wonderful, and we wish we could live on your boat with you. I’m buying a lottery ticket tonight.
February 2024
What an amazing experience this has been. You both went above and beyond to make this charter so memorable. Captain Dick made us feel so safe with his boat skills, and we enjoyed the chance to go diving. We loved the itinerary and knowledge of each anchorage we visited. Chef Kim was the perfect chef and hostess. She anticipated our needs and made it happen. Her food was top notch from filet mignon, seared tuna, tiramisu, and a chocolate mousse to die for. I would recommend Kim and Dick as crew to anyone looking for a fabulous time in the Caribbean.
February 2024
We had a wonderful trip on the Deep Blue with Captain Dick and his wonderful wife Kim. The 58 foot Leopard Catamaran is fantastic, Captain Dick is outstanding at the helm and his wife Kim made fantastic food and beverage. They are simply wonderful hosts and we cannot wait to return. Their non stop efforts insured that a great time was had by everyone. Great Sailboat, perfect location, superb food and even better people. We cannot wait to sail with them again!
