Jacek started his sailing career quite young at the age of 8. As a junior, he raced Optimists, Lasers, 420s, and FJs. As he got older he got into cruising due to his father who was in the yacht brokerage industry. Together as a family, they cruised their Golfstar 41 Ketch all over Florida. His knowledge of the Caribbean expanded while he worked for Virgin Islands Cruising Guide Publications for 10 years.
Jacek then became a sailing instructor and climbed the ladder to a regional operations manager within the sailing school. While working for the sailing school, he taught many courses in the Virgin Islands. He has spent the last 10 years travelling the islands.
He finally made the leap and moved to the Caribbean in 2016. Using his intimate experiences of the Virgin Islands and local hot spots Jacek delivers a marvelously guided sailing experience.
Jacek is PADI certified and speaks Polish, Spanish, and English.
Maya's love for water and food comes from her background growing up in the Mediterranean. After living in beautiful (but landlocked) Utah for 14 years, she finally decided to go back to her aquatic roots and made the move to the Caribbean.
Pursuing her dream, she moved to the USVI in 2014, and has worked as a yacht chef since. Her passions include cooking, literature, travelling, and music. Maya believes that there is nothing better than gathering friends over plates of great food and seeing their smiles and enjoyment as they eat, talk and relax around the table. Her favorite cuisine is Mediterranean- but loves trying new things. Maya has made many strong bonds with local farmers, fishermen, and specialty food makers in the islands over the years and can guarantee the freshest ingredients in her galley. She strives for local, fresh, seasonal, and sustainable when creating her menus, also offering gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options.
Maya was awarded the best Stoli cocktail in the 2018 USVI VIPCA Charter Show- so you can leave the cooking and mixing of cocktails to her!
“I look forward to sharing my culinary passion with you, and making your experience on Sta Ana unforgettable!”
Maya is PADI and STCW certified and speaks Arabic, French, and English.
Jacek and Maya met when a friend asked for them to sub on Devine Sailing a Saba 50 in January 2016. Their shared passions for sailing, travelling, music, and food made them fall for one another. Jacek was working on Loveboat, a Lagoon 440 at the time, and convinced Maya to join him on board as the chef. Their year on Loveboat was “exciting and new” and they truly honed their strengths together to show guests the ultimate experience. They spent two seasons on Loveboat, and then made the leap to Sta Ana in May 2018. During their off time, Jacek and Maya enjoy globe trotting and exploring new places, jamming some tunes, diving and snorkeling, cooking together, and making each other laugh. Together, Jacek and Maya would like to show you the best the islands have to offer!

Wow, I never imagined such fine people to be with us to meet our every need. You are both the best! Food was GREAT! So appreciative of helping with our kayaks, paddle board, our noodles, snorkeling, you name it, and there you were. Also, Connie and I had fun with you Maya in the Captain's chair:) Your music was so beautiful. I had a great time!
Thank you for everything,
Patty

Dear Jacek and Maya,
Thank you so much for making our Caribbean adventure so much fun!! We enjoyed every minute of the sailing, snorkeling, and of course the AMAZING food. You made us all feel so comfortable and welcomed. The children loved the experience - especially swimming with the sea turtles and learning to play Farkle:) We will treasure the memories of this trip.
All the best,
The PXX Family

Maya & Jacek -
Holy cow! What a fantastic week - we could not have had a better crew. The nonstop smiles, jokes, and laughter have made this trip unbeatable! Both M & J went out of their way to make sure everyone in my crazy family was busy and happy - which is not an easy task for 17, 16, & 15 year olds!!
I cannot tell you the last time we have all enjoyed each other's company so much! The laughter among all of us made the trip even more priceless - Very limited technology:) - just enjoying swimming, water sports, Farkle, charades, singing, dancing, talking and laughing - this is a vacation I will cherish always.
The food is amazing as well. Teenagers are always hungry and Maya made sure they were never hungry. Snacks and fresh smoothies daily - yum! Adult beverages were always flowing as well!
All in all I can't imagine a better spring break. We started our vacay not knowing < & J and we are leaving kmowing they have become part of our family. Next time we will definetly be requesting M & J!
Love,
The SXXXXXXX Family

Jacek & Maya -
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our week in the US and British Virgin Islands! Our kids, Carter and Caroline will surly remember this experience, and we hope to bring them back again as adults in a few years. Caroline overcame her snorkeling fears in the beautiful, warm Caribbean waters, and enjoyed seeing the wreckage of the Rhone, coral, fish, and rays. Carter learned how to assimilate to sea conditions, and loved hanging with Jacek on the boat, and especially getting pulled around on the tube, and lounging on the hammock. Melanie and I fell in love with Maya's cooking, and will miss the incredible meals served with the style to us all week. What a treat to find out that Maya can sing beautifully and Jacek is an axe-master on the guitar!
What a wonderful trip!
-Joel, Melanie, Carter, and Caroline
P.S. 4,000 points in one possession of the dice from the 2-time champ.
P.S.S. Stay Farkly

What time is it? Turtle Time - while I leave somewhat jaded without a Farkle win, I do leave with lifetime memories and two new members of the family. You gave us a break from reality and much needed distraction. Thank you! Maya, the meals were fantastic and kept us going. A new experience each day. Jacek thanks for being a great instructor and entertainer. We hope to see you on your next visit to the states, an ATV adventure awaits! We hope to do this again...and soon!!!
Love,

Dear Maya and Jacek,
Thank you for giving my family a wonderful time! Wish you both great winds and happiness.

This trip was a 10...
Being from the Midwest we had no idea what to expect out of this adventure. We were concerned that we would be bored, sea sick, and be abducted by pirates. Other than the pirate part, the outcome couldn't have been more to the contrary! Every moment was new and exciting. The views in the BVI were breathtaking and we never once felt sea sick. And, the pirates were very nice :) This was a dream come true, we'd recommend it to anyone that can swim. We don't usually tell a lot of friends about the trips we go on, but this is one we just can't stop talking about!!! Scale of 1 - 10 I'd give this trip a solid 10! Our Captain and Co-Captain were incredible as well, we left feeling like old friends!
Amazing time together as a family...
Today is the 3rd day off the boat and we are all missing our amazing time together as a family. Yes, the crew actually became like family. We couldn't have asked for a better crew. Jacek and Maya worked so well together that you would never know that this was their first time to crew as a team.
We were very happy with all of the meals prepared for us. At the end of the trip, we were talking about which meal was our favorite and no one could decide because they were all yummy. We felt completely safe with Captain Jacek at the helm and his knowledge and professionalism was unsurpassed. The boat was kept in pristine condition throughout the entire 7 days, which was a team effort of the crew.
The very first night we had a "jam" session playing guitar with Maya, Jacek, my son and husband, which set the mood for the entire trip. Jacek and Maya put us all immediately at ease. As a team, they fulfilled our every whim.
Our days were filled with wonderful food and drink, beautiful sun and sea, card and dice games, dancing and lots of laughter. My son, who I was a little worried about whether he would adapt to being on a yacht for 7 days, said it was the best time he had ever had and didn't want to leave. I completely agree!!
So to answer the question of whether I enjoyed the trip...Beyond My Wildest Dreams!
Thank you Captain Jacek,and Maya! My heart is full! ~Anne and family
April 2018
Wow!! What an amazing family experience you provided us. We couldn't have imagined a better crew to share this with...Thank you!!! Jacek, your sailing instruction and patience were unmatched. Maya, we loved every dish you served. The Loveboat was the perfect vessel for our family.

Hey. It’s Amy and I haven’t had a chance til now to thank you guys for the most amazing trip on the boat!!! We got back Sunday and I haven’t stopped talking about our time on the boat and how dreamy it truly was. You both made the trip so special for our family. The kids miss you and want to come back.
It’s hard to see your IG posts of others on the boat and not be jealous of them! Ha!
You treated us like family and made us feel so special. This was a trip of a lifetime and we owe so much to you both! Thank you!!!!
I just told a friend today that I just had the best birthday ever on a boat in the Caribbean. It’s hard to describe to someone who’s never been how magical it really is to be in one of the most beautiful places on the earth....getting treated like royalty!!
Wishing you all the best this year!

I highly recommend Maya and Jacek for the Santa Ana. They worked well together to make it a memorable experience for all who sailed on this trip.

The Santa Ana was in perfect shape when we arrived and it stayed that way throughout the length of the cruise. The crew did a good job keeping her in ship shape.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes. At times it was warm in the cabins at night.

The food was one of the best parts of the trip. Maya was amazing! She did a fantastic job cooking and preparing the food. Every meal was well thought out and perfectly executed.

7. Additional comments on your charter?
It was a trip of a lifetime! The group that chartered the boat has been to beautiful places all over the world and had never experienced something like we all did on the Santa Ana. I highly recommend that once in your life you take a trip like this. I believe you would have the same experience we all did.

Really well designed for living. Feels very spacious and comfortable. She is also a beautiful cat and Maya and Jacek are such great hosts and crew! The are extremely accommodating, thoughtful and helpful. The food was really delicious and I'm a picky eater. Wondering if I can ever come back to the VI and have such a wonderful experience! Thank you so much Jacek and Maya. We miss you!

May 2019
Our trip has been fantastic. Our Captain Jacek and Chef Maya could not have made our trip more pleasurable. Great attention to detail and very accommodating in every respect. We chose to go with a pescatarian diet for this trip and Maya prepared fabulous and imaginative meals day after day. I only wish we could somehow replicate once we return home. The catamaran was very clean and comfortable. The pictures you sent us at the beginning reflected well on the type of boat we thought we were chartering.

Words can’t describe this week and our gratitude for an amazing week. We started out just wanting to spend some time together, enjoy this place we love so much.

Ed, Cherie, Dan, Kate, Riley, Lydia and Evan
Thank you for the best vacation we have ever had. We will always remember this vacation not only because of all the amazing places you brought us but also because of you two.

Next year! You both are the best! Love— Joy and Kirk

Jacek started his sailing career quite young at the age of 8. As a junior, he raced Optimists, Lasers, 420s, and FJs. As he got older he got into cruising due to his father who was in the yacht brokerage industry. Together as a family, they cruised their Golfstar 41 Ketch all over Florida. His knowledge of the Caribbean expanded while he worked for Virgin Islands Cruising Guide Publications for 10 years.
Jacek then became a sailing instructor and climbed the ladder to a regional operations manager within the sailing school. While working for the sailing school, he taught many courses in the Virgin Islands. He has spent the last 10 years travelling the islands.
He finally made the leap and moved to the Caribbean in 2016. Using his intimate experiences of the Virgin Islands and local hot spots Jacek delivers a marvelously guided sailing experience.
Jacek is PADI certified and speaks Polish, Spanish, and English.
Maya's love for water and food comes from her background growing up in the Mediterranean. After living in beautiful (but landlocked) Utah for 14 years, she finally decided to go back to her aquatic roots and made the move to the Caribbean.
Pursuing her dream, she moved to the USVI in 2014, and has worked as a yacht chef since. Her passions include cooking, literature, travelling, and music. Maya believes that there is nothing better than gathering friends over plates of great food and seeing their smiles and enjoyment as they eat, talk and relax around the table. Her favorite cuisine is Mediterranean- but loves trying new things. Maya has made many strong bonds with local farmers, fishermen, and specialty food makers in the islands over the years and can guarantee the freshest ingredients in her galley. She strives for local, fresh, seasonal, and sustainable when creating her menus, also offering gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options.
Maya was awarded the best Stoli cocktail in the 2018 USVI VIPCA Charter Show- so you can leave the cooking and mixing of cocktails to her!
“I look forward to sharing my culinary passion with you, and making your experience on Sta Ana unforgettable!”
Maya is PADI and STCW certified and speaks Arabic, French, and English.
Jacek and Maya met when a friend asked for them to sub on Devine Sailing a Saba 50 in January 2016. Their shared passions for sailing, travelling, music, and food made them fall for one another. Jacek was working on Loveboat, a Lagoon 440 at the time, and convinced Maya to join him on board as the chef. Their year on Loveboat was “exciting and new” and they truly honed their strengths together to show guests the ultimate experience. They spent two seasons on Loveboat, and then made the leap to Sta Ana in May 2018. During their off time, Jacek and Maya enjoy globe trotting and exploring new places, jamming some tunes, diving and snorkeling, cooking together, and making each other laugh. Together, Jacek and Maya would like to show you the best the islands have to offer!

Dear Jacek and Maya,
Thank you so much for making our Caribbean adventure so much fun!! We enjoyed every minute of the sailing, snorkeling, and of course the AMAZING food. You made us all feel so comfortable and welcomed. The children loved the experience - especially swimming with the sea turtles and learning to play Farkle:) We will treasure the memories of this trip.
All the best,
The PXX Family

Maya & Jacek -
Holy cow! What a fantastic week - we could not have had a better crew. The nonstop smiles, jokes, and laughter have made this trip unbeatable! Both M & J went out of their way to make sure everyone in my crazy family was busy and happy - which is not an easy task for 17, 16, & 15 year olds!!
I cannot tell you the last time we have all enjoyed each other's company so much! The laughter among all of us made the trip even more priceless - Very limited technology:) - just enjoying swimming, water sports, Farkle, charades, singing, dancing, talking and laughing - this is a vacation I will cherish always.
The food is amazing as well. Teenagers are always hungry and Maya made sure they were never hungry. Snacks and fresh smoothies daily - yum! Adult beverages were always flowing as well!
All in all I can't imagine a better spring break. We started our vacay not knowing < & J and we are leaving kmowing they have become part of our family. Next time we will definetly be requesting M & J!
Love,
The SXXXXXXX Family

Caroline overcame her snorkeling fears in the beautiful, warm Caribbean waters, and enjoyed seeing the wreckage of the Rhone, coral, fish, and rays. Carter learned how to assimilate to sea conditions, and loved hanging with Jacek on the boat, and especially getting pulled around on the tube, and lounging on the hammock. Melanie and I fell in love with Maya's cooking, and will miss the incredible meals served with the style to us all week. What a treat to find out that Maya can sing beautifully and Jacek is an axe-master on the guitar!
What a wonderful trip!

What time is it? Turtle Time - while I leave somewhat jaded without a Farkle win, I do leave with lifetime memories and two new members of the family. You gave us a break from reality and much needed distraction. Thank you! Maya, the meals were fantastic and kept us going. A new experience each day. Jacek thanks for being a great instructor and entertainer. We hope to see you on your next visit to the states, an ATV adventure awaits! We hope to do this again...and soon!!!
Love,

Dear Jacek and Maya,
We had an absolute amazing time! You both are BOMB! Even when we were all schwitzing!!! From the very start, you both didn't miss a beat, always wanting to make sure we were having a great time!

Hope we keep in touch and hopefully sail again sometime soon! 5 stars for our bucket list experience!

Dear Maya and Jacek,
Thank you for giving my family a wonderful time! Wish you both great winds and happiness.

This trip was a 10...
Being from the Midwest we had no idea what to expect out of this adventure. We were concerned that we would be bored, sea sick, and be abducted by pirates. Other than the pirate part, the outcome couldn't have been more to the contrary! Every moment was new and exciting. The views in the BVI were breathtaking and we never once felt sea sick. And, the pirates were very nice :) This was a dream come true, we'd recommend it to anyone that can swim. We don't usually tell a lot of friends about the trips we go on, but this is one we just can't stop talking about!!! Scale of 1 - 10 I'd give this trip a solid 10! Our Captain and Co-Captain were incredible as well, we left feeling like old friends!
Amazing time together as a family...
Today is the 3rd day off the boat and we are all missing our amazing time together as a family. Yes, the crew actually became like family. We couldn't have asked for a better crew. Jacek and Maya worked so well together that you would never know that this was their first time to crew as a team.
We were very happy with all of the meals prepared for us. At the end of the trip, we were talking about which meal was our favorite and no one could decide because they were all yummy. We felt completely safe with Captain Jacek at the helm and his knowledge and professionalism was unsurpassed. The boat was kept in pristine condition throughout the entire 7 days, which was a team effort of the crew.
The very first night we had a "jam" session playing guitar with Maya, Jacek, my son and husband, which set the mood for the entire trip. Jacek and Maya put us all immediately at ease. As a team, they fulfilled our every whim.
Our days were filled with wonderful food and drink, beautiful sun and sea, card and dice games, dancing and lots of laughter. My son, who I was a little worried about whether he would adapt to being on a yacht for 7 days, said it was the best time he had ever had and didn't want to leave. I completely agree!!
So to answer the question of whether I enjoyed the trip...Beyond My Wildest Dreams!
Thank you Captain Jacek,and Maya! My heart is full! ~Anne and family
April 2018
Wow!! What an amazing family experience you provided us. We couldn't have imagined a better crew to share this with...Thank you!!! Jacek, your sailing instruction and patience were unmatched. Maya, we loved every dish you served. The Loveboat was the perfect vessel for our family.

Hey. It’s Amy and I haven’t had a chance til now to thank you guys for the most amazing trip on the boat!!! We got back Sunday and I haven’t stopped talking about our time on the boat and how dreamy it truly was. You both made the trip so special for our family. The kids miss you and want to come back.
It’s hard to see your IG posts of others on the boat and not be jealous of them! Ha!
You treated us like family and made us feel so special. This was a trip of a lifetime and we owe so much to you both! Thank you!!!!
I just told a friend today that I just had the best birthday ever on a boat in the Caribbean. It’s hard to describe to someone who’s never been how magical it really is to be in one of the most beautiful places on the earth....getting treated like royalty!!
Wishing you all the best this year!

We hope your charter lived up to your expectations. We would love to know some of your impressions about your yachting vacation. Please answer the following questions and add any comments you may have.
1. Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
I highly recommend Maya and Jacek for the Santa Ana. They worked well together to make it a memorable experience for all who sailed on this trip.
2. Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
The Santa Ana was in perfect shape when we arrived and it stayed that way throughout the length of the cruise. The crew did a good job keeping her in ship shape.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes. At times it was warm in the cabins at night.
4. Was the food good and well presented?
The food was one of the best parts of the trip. Maya was amazing! She did a fantastic job cooking and preparing the food. Every meal was well thought out and perfectly executed.
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
We loved every stop! Since we had a shorter trip than most we were able to cover a lot of ground and sea. Jacek did an excellent job directed us to the places we wanted to visit.
6. May we post this review on our website?
Yes
7. Additional comments on your charter?
It was a trip of a lifetime! The group that chartered the boat has been to beautiful places all over the world and had never experienced something like we all did on the Santa Ana. I highly recommend that once in your life you take a trip like this. I believe you would have the same experience we all did.

Really well designed for living. Feels very spacious and comfortable. She is also a beautiful cat and Maya and Jacek are such great hosts and crew! The are extremely accommodating, thoughtful and helpful. The food was really delicious and I'm a picky eater. Wondering if I can ever come back to the VI and have such a wonderful experience! Thank you so much Jacek and Maya. We miss you!

Our trip has been fantastic. Our Captain Jacek and Chef Maya could not have made our trip more pleasurable. Great attention to detail and very accommodating in every respect. We chose to go with a pescatarian diet for this trip and Maya prepared fabulous and imaginative meals day after day. I only wish we could somehow replicate once we return home. The catamaran was very clean and comfortable. The pictures you sent us at the beginning reflected well on the type of boat we thought we were chartering.
