Captain
Ryan Adelmann
Nation: USA
Born: 1975
License: 100T USCG Master
Languages: English
Chef/First Mate
Stephanie Grace Simpson
Nation: USA
Born: 1972
License: STCW
Ryan was introduced to sailing at the young age of 8. Raised in Minnesota, he learned the finer points of sailing on the numerous lakes and rivers, including the Great Lakes. By his late adolescent years, he had sailed the Florida Keys, Bahamian Islands and had spent many months off the N.E. coast, fine tuning his passion for the sea. Though life guided him through many ventures including a prosperous run in semiconductor manufacturing and real estate investing; the “Pirate” in Ryan hailed strong!
He found himself engulfed in the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean and the USVI/BVI waters in 2007. He honed his sailing skills by delivering yachts to/from the Virgin Islands to the States. He yearned to take on new waters and sailed further south to St. Lucia, St. Vincent, the Grenadines and Grenada, but Ryan has always found his home to be in these Lesser Antilles waters. His love of BVI and USVI shows as his vast knowledge and passion flow from him as you are enchantingly guided through the blissful calm waters.
Holding a 100GT Master USCG Mariner’s Credential along with STCW (International Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers), Auxiliary Sail endorsement, BVI Boatmaster endorsement , he is also safety trained and certified in CPR, First Aid, AED and Child CPR. Ryan’s numerous land-based safety credentials have translated easily as he learned to “breathe” underwater as a PADI SCUBA certified diver.
Ryan’s quick wit, plethora of bad jokes and charm have earned him a reputation second to NONE. His famous signature quote, as you’ll happily fall influence to, “Buy the ticket, take the ride!” will follow you home to your own next adventures.
Stephanie comes from Memphis, Tennessee – As with all mermaids, her timeline is mysterious. As a young woman, Stephanie found herself being pulled to something-somewhere. As an only child she laid her own tracks and set her own sails. Luckily for us, Stephanie chose a path through the warm waters of the Caribbean. She set her compass early on for the slow paced, simple life of island living and found her ‘forever harbor’ in St. Thomas in 1998.
Her time on island has laid many entrepreneurial avenues such as opening an upscale boutique, bar/restaurant & Good-Time Guru. Throughout her adventures, she discovered her passion for the tranquil blue waters surrounding the Virgin Islands and beyond.
Starting from the bottom and moving up, Stephanie acted a muse to captains of large capacity day boats, as well as, crew for mega yachts owned by astute, nameless persons of fame and fortune. Her life on boats offered her a way to express herself in the galley and as she works to ensure you have a memorable and fantastic vacation.
With her sweet southern charm, Stephanie strives to give you an experience to never be forgotten. Her passion for pleasing is apparent once board, whether she is “mermaiding” her way through the waters to show you the beautiful aquatic life or when you set at her table and she presents your specially considered meals, she shines with enthusiasm and joy. Humble as she may be, Stephanie puts together simple meals in extraordinary fashion.
Stephanie and Captain Ryan have found a partnership aboard that sets them worlds apart from others, working in perfect harmony as Captain and Crew. They are also loving partners in life, working and living their dream.
Stephanie is certified in STCW; Personal Safety, Survival, Social Responsibilities and CPR. She holds her Advanced Open Water SCUBA certification. In her downtime loves to hike the many trails of the Virgin Islands, beach comb for unique shells, and simply relax in her island home, swaying in the breeze in her hammock, reading or just enjoying mother nature at her finest.

Where to start? How could the week get any better? Beautiful beaches, wonderful food, great friends, sailing, and snorkeling! Steph & Ryan were amazing- knew our every need and want, even before we did. So many personal touches, like they had known us forever. We have found new friends and we will be back soon! Thank you Steph & Ryan, you were truly the best host and guides! Best wishes to you both!

What an amazing vacation!! Being in a different, beautiful location each evening was such a unique part of the trip. Our captain and first mate always knew the best stops on each island and we were able to see things that we would have never known about otherwise. Our whole group was extremely fond of the ‘noodle train’ and the time that we spent snorkeling and sailing. The food and service were top notch. I could not have imagined a more perfect week. Thank You Ryan and Steph!!

Capt Ryan & Chef Steph, What an incredible trip!! We have been to the islands many times but this experience exceeded our expectations.... awesome food, great overnight spots, snorkeling, turtles, and the huge dolphin on our last day... WOW! Your hospitality will keep us coming back! Thank YOU!
June 2019
Ryan and Stephanie, the anticipation and excitement for our trip was over the top and you both far-far exceeded our expectations! “The Girls” have been making memories for years and we are so blessed that you are part of our journey! Your attention and service were extraordinary, but we will always cherish the laughs and fun times! You are both the best and we send our heartfelt thanks!!

Janet’s 50th Celebration
From the moment we stepped foot on the yacht we left the world behind..... When asked about sailing, Ryan’s grin was a sign of what the next 8 days would hold. He went from expert sailor, to fishing guide, to dive buddy, scooter leader, master griller, pro snorkeler, history teacher, and dance moves that stop fish from swimming just to watch. Maybe his best move ever though, was finding Stephanie to be his mate. No sea too rocky for our little spider-monkey to keep our drinks full, and our giggles endless. She delighted us with 5-star meals, made with 5-star love. She makes mooring the boat look as effortless as her mouthwatering desserts... Words cannot express our gratitude to Ryan and and Steph for making this experience as beautiful as the surroundings blue sea. Best of all, are the memories we now hold near and dear to our hearts, and the new friendships that will span for years to come. Thank You for an adventure of a lifetime!!

I don’t really want this to become a sappy note but not sure how else to show my appreciation. There is not enough paper in this book to thank you for all the things you have done for us this weel. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom about life, the BVI, snorkeling, and wildlife. Thank you for keeping us safe, well fed & liquored up. Thank you for never making us feel like a burden when we asked for something or when we asked a question. Thank you for making us feel like family. Thank you for catering to ALL of our personalities. Thank you for the countless laughs and the amazing jokes. Thank you for amazing views everyday and one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you for not cooking with onions! Thank you for making sure the coffee was made for me every morning so I could thoroughly enjoy my morning sunrise. thank you for paying attention to details because life really is about the little things. Thank you for dancing. Thank you for loving your job and your life and sharing it with us. I really can’t be grateful enough for this opportunity and for the starts to align to have you both as our captain and crew! One last thing, thank you Steph for wiping the bird poop off my face and waiting to laugh at me.

There ae moments in life that are memorable and worry free. They don’t come every day but when they come you feel happier and lighter. But then there are moments in life that are so special that come very seldom if at all. The kind of moment that you carry forever, that make you grow, that builds friendships, that strengthens family bonds, and change your life. Our trip with Ryan and Steph was one of those moments. You opened our eyes to another area of the world. To lands so beautiful. To the world under the sea, and to living on top of the sea, with the basics- great food, friendship, and LOVE. What else is there really? From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You for all that you have done, thank you for dedicating your time and love. Thank you for letting us into your lives. Thank you for keeping us happy and safe. Thank you for the wonderful memories and thank you for giving us these moments that have changed all of our lives in every way.
With all of our heart and soul, The BXXXX Family, NY

This trip has been on our bucket list for some time. We finally made it happen and are so glad to have sailed with you two as our host. We were able to learn the local history, learn so much about the coral and fish, and eat and eat and eat to our hearts content. You knew all of the best spots and then some! The sailing was amazing, feeling the best, effortlessly across the ocean, the sound of the vessel breaking the silence. Heaven on earth! In all of our travels, the best part has always been the people we meet. Loved you two the best! We wish you luck with your next adventure and hope we can join you again...

Holding a 100GT Master USCG Mariner’s Credential along with STCW (International Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers), Auxiliary Sail endorsement, BVI Boatmaster endorsement , he is also safety trained and certified in CPR, First Aid, AED and Child CPR. Ryan’s numerous land-based safety credentials have translated easily as he learned to “breathe” underwater as a PADI SCUBA certified diver.
Ryan’s quick wit, plethora of bad jokes and charm have earned him a reputation second to NONE. His famous signature quote, as you’ll happily fall influence to, “Buy the ticket, take the ride!” will follow you home to your own next adventures.
Stephanie comes from Memphis, Tennessee – As with all mermaids, her timeline is mysterious. As a young woman, Stephanie found herself being pulled to something-somewhere. As an only child she laid her own tracks and set her own sails. Luckily for us, Stephanie chose a path through the warm waters of the Caribbean. She set her compass early on for the slow paced, simple life of island living and found her ‘forever harbor’ in St. Thomas in 1998.
Her time on island has laid many entrepreneurial avenues such as opening an upscale boutique, bar/restaurant & Good-Time Guru. Throughout her adventures, she discovered her passion for the tranquil blue waters surrounding the Virgin Islands and beyond.
Starting from the bottom and moving up, Stephanie acted a muse to captains of large capacity day boats, as well as, crew for mega yachts owned by astute, nameless persons of fame and fortune. Her life on boats offered her a way to express herself in the galley and as she works to ensure you have a memorable and fantastic vacation.
With her sweet southern charm, Stephanie strives to give you an experience to never be forgotten. Her passion for pleasing is apparent once board, whether she is “mermaiding” her way through the waters to show you the beautiful aquatic life or when you set at her table and she presents your specially considered meals, she shines with enthusiasm and joy. Humble as she may be, Stephanie puts together simple meals in extraordinary fashion.
Stephanie and Captain Ryan have found a partnership aboard that sets them worlds apart from others, working in perfect harmony as Captain and Crew. They are also loving partners in life, working and living their dream.
Stephanie is certified in STCW; Personal Safety, Survival, Social Responsibilities and CPR. She holds her Advanced Open Water SCUBA certification. In her downtime loves to hike the many trails of the Virgin Islands, beach comb for unique shells, and simply relax in her island home, swaying in the breeze in her hammock, reading or just enjoying mother nature at her finest.

What an amazing vacation!! Being in a different, beautiful location each evening was such a unique part of the trip. Our captain and first mate always knew the best stops on each island and we were able to see things that we would have never known about otherwise. Our whole group was extremely fond of the ‘noodle train’ and the time that we spent snorkeling and sailing. The food and service were top notch. I could not have imagined a more perfect week. Thank You Ryan and Steph!!

Janet’s 50th Celebration
From the moment we stepped foot on the yacht we left the world behind..... When asked about sailing, Ryan’s grin was a sign of what the next 8 days would hold. He went from expert sailor, to fishing guide, to dive buddy, scooter leader, master griller, pro snorkeler, history teacher, and dance moves that stop fish from swimming just to watch. Maybe his best move ever though, was finding Stephanie to be his mate. No sea too rocky for our little spider-monkey to keep our drinks full, and our giggles endless. She delighted us with 5-star meals, made with 5-star love. She makes mooring the boat look as effortless as her mouthwatering desserts... Words cannot express our gratitude to Ryan and and Steph for making this experience as beautiful as the surroundings blue sea. Best of all, are the memories we now hold near and dear to our hearts, and the new friendships that will span for years to come. Thank You for an adventure of a lifetime!!

I don’t really want this to become a sappy note but not sure how else to show my appreciation. There is not enough paper in this book to thank you for all the things you have done for us this weel. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom about life, the BVI, snorkeling, and wildlife. Thank you for keeping us safe, well fed & liquored up. Thank you for never making us feel like a burden when we asked for something or when we asked a question. Thank you for making us feel like family. Thank you for catering to ALL of our personalities. Thank you for the countless laughs and the amazing jokes. Thank you for amazing views everyday and one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you for not cooking with onions! Thank you for making sure the coffee was made for me every morning so I could thoroughly enjoy my morning sunrise. thank you for paying attention to details because life really is about the little things. Thank you for dancing. Thank you for loving your job and your life and sharing it with us. I really can’t be grateful enough for this opportunity and for the starts to align to have you both as our captain and crew! One last thing, thank you Steph for wiping the bird poop off my face and waiting to laugh at me.

There ae moments in life that are memorable and worry free. They don’t come every day but when they come you feel happier and lighter. But then there are moments in life that are so special that come very seldom if at all. The kind of moment that you carry forever, that make you grow, that builds friendships, that strengthens family bonds, and change your life. Our trip with Ryan and Steph was one of those moments. You opened our eyes to another area of the world. To lands so beautiful. To the world under the sea, and to living on top of the sea, with the basics- great food, friendship, and LOVE. What else is there really? From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You for all that you have done, thank you for dedicating your time and love. Thank you for letting us into your lives. Thank you for keeping us happy and safe. Thank you for the wonderful memories and thank you for giving us these moments that have changed all of our lives in every way.
With all of our heart and soul, The BXXXX Family, NY

This trip has been on our bucket list for some time. We finally made it happen and are so glad to have sailed with you two as our host. We were able to learn the local history, learn so much about the coral and fish, and eat and eat and eat to our hearts content. You knew all of the best spots and then some! The sailing was amazing, feeling the best, effortlessly across the ocean, the sound of the vessel breaking the silence. Heaven on earth! In all of our travels, the best part has always been the people we meet. Loved you two the best! We wish you luck with your next adventure and hope we can join you again...
