MEET THE CREW FOR 2019/20
Mike and Julie met soon after high school and have been inseparable ever since. While raising their family, Mike & Julie took family vacations up north which always meant time on the water boating, fishing, skiing, biking and lots of great memories with the family. They also traveled to tropical destinations to escape the cold winter months. When they took a family trip to the VI they knew they would be back for good at some point. They bought a sailboat in Florida after their family was raised, spent time there and made the jump to come back to the islands after selling their home and everything they owned. They hope to help others create lasting lifetime memories in their dream destination.
Mike grew up in the land of 10,000 lakes and took full advantage of as many opportunities as he could to hit the lakes.
As a boy and young man he spent many summers up north at the family cabin taking advantage of all water sports. It’s here that Mike developed his love of being on the water. Mike has been an entrepreneur most of his life and has, along with Julie run a personal training business, owned a fitness center, worked in the oil fields. In his free time, Mike enjoys working out, reading and 'wrenching' on things. Mike looks forward to showing his guests a great time and all the amazing things the islands have to offer.
Julie was born in Minnesota and moved to California as a young girl. It was then that Julie fell in love with the ocean and the peace and serenity it brought her.
Julie’s love of cooking and food started at a young age as her mother was a wonderful cook and teacher and had Julie in the kitchen with her. Because of her early start, Julie worked in the service industry in many different fields after moving back to Minnesota. Julie loves to cook a wide range of foods but her favorites are comfort style, using fresh local ingredients.
Julie’s hobbies are crocheting, cooking, working out with Mike and people watching :). Julie looks forward to having you and your family join them for an unforgettable experience.

Julie and Mike are our heros!
Julie and Captain Mike,
What a wonderful trip we had on the Sea Dragon!
Thank you for all that you both did to give us a wonderful time. We never had a doubt about each day being full of beautiful views, fun adventures, delicious food, and a great time. It was wonderful getting to know you both. We will leave the USVI with incredible memories!
Mike was an awesome captain and photographer for our group jump. Julie, thank you for the bottomless painkillers! Did I ever tell you, you are our hero?
-Michelle and Zach
What a wonderful 40th birthday!
Thank you for a great week and for making my 40th bday so special. We've always wanted to do this and for a while there we didn't think it would happen thanks to COVID. This was our highlight of the entire year! Julie's food is amazing. You should publish your recipes. We are definitely hooked on sailing now and hope to come back soon. The next time with our kiddos though! Thank you again for great memories, hospitality, and one amazing vacation.
-Andrea and Cayce
Prepare to be delighted!
The scenery was breathtaking, around every corner and curve was another adventure. And while the peer fellowship was fantastic, one of the most consistently fabulous aspects about our trip was the meals. Julie did an absolutely outstanding job in meal variety and preparation. I went on this trip thinking I may actually push back and saw it as an opportunity to maybe even lose a little weight… what I found was myself looking for and wanting seconds, sometimes thirds every time we sat down at the table. Julie had pre-planned a weeks breakfasts and dinners for our group of twelve. She prepared a variety of dishes that allowed me to try some foods I may not usually consider. She always served us timely, warm meals and adjusted easily to our slightly adventurous irregular schedule. Her selections looked fantastic, they were delicious; the aroma drew you in and she was prepared with sides and all the trimmings that enhanced the experience even more. It was such a wonderful way to begin and end our days. On a 1 to 10 scale I’d give Julie a 15+!! I highly recommend you letting her guide your culinary adventures, just sit back, relax and prepare to be delighted.
Very Professional
My son and I, along with 10 friends just returned from an 8 day stay. This is the second trip that Julie and Mike were our hosts. Both were very professional, knowledgeable and eager to please. Julie's meals were off the charts!! Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I ate like a King!!! Breakfasts were AMAZING, eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes along with dishes I have never had. Our dinners were FABULOUS. I highly recommend booking your adventure with Mike and Julie as your hosts!! Definitely a 5 Star rating from me!!!!
Miss you guys already!!!
Cant Go Wrong With The Mariers!
Mike and Julie have been such amazing hosts to us over the years! We are always looking forward to what is next for tasty treats, and Mike is ever the consummate server of all he encounters. We always look forward to spending time with them. Can't go wrong with the Mariers.
Food and Hospitality was Incredible!
This was my first time with Julie and Mike. When you rely on other people to plan your trip I am always a skeptic. These two made me feel like family from the start. The food and hospitality was incredible. I highly recommend them for any outing and will use them again in the future. Thanks you two .
Need I Say More
We have recently returned from our awesome vacation on board the Nadiya with Mike and Julie.
We expected it to be exceptional but were overjoyed as it was even better.
Besides the gorgeous weather, warm sun and even warmer water, the first class treatment was a perfect topper.
Captain Mike tailored the itinerary to our daily preferences including snorkelling , island excursions , virgin beach swimming and sometimes simply hanging out on Nadiya with a cold cocktail and good music.
Boat toys were great especially the floating mat which can provide hours of silly entertainment.
And the Meals.......WOW
Julie is an exceptional chief . I am a food guy and Julie did not disappoint .
Breakfasts were amazing with Julie always combining fruit and fresh ingredients
tailored to each guests portions.
Lunches and dinners were spectacular with pastas ,local seafood , steaks , burgers ....etc
Resort style dinning on a boat.
Need I say anymore .
Their knowledge of the area was very comforting and made our trip effortless.
I would highly recommend having a team like Mike and Julie to make a Virgin Island Catamaran tour complete and successful.
What An Amazing Trip!
What an amazing trip! We have just done our very first Charter! Captain Mike and his lovely wife, Chef Julie, were fantastic! Every day brought a new adventure with destinations catered to what we wanted to see. As a family of 4, with 2 teens – getting us all to be agree upon an itinerary for days on end– is a monumental challenge, but they met and exceeded our hopes! As each day passed, we actively worked with Mike and Julie to tweak this or that – to fit our mood, budget and energy level. Each port had its own unique flavor, and we each had our personal favorite – from white sand beaches, to swirling water pools – I don’t think any of us expected the variety contained in such a small patch of the world. Mike really seemed to be able to steer us to the best locations for us, while Julie kept us eating like royalty along the way. I do not exaggerate when I say that at least 2 family members (maybe more J )were caught licking their desert plates. It was that good. Julie also helped us navigated some of the down times, bringing in fun activities (my kids are card sharks, who knew?) to get us to laugh and extend the fun way after sundown.
In summary: Everyone was smiling. Everyone had fun. Everyone loved the food. Basically ….. the best trip ever! Goodbye Cruises, Hello Chartering!
Most Incredible Vacation!
thank you so much for such a wonderful week! Your were both amazing hosts and very attentive to all the little details. We ate like QUEENS and were taken to the most beautiful locations! These were by far the most relaxing, memorable and incredible vacation we've had!!! thank you both so much for everything!
The Best
You made our vacation the best ever!! Thank you for all your attentions! You guys are the best.
Gaby
Absolute Best Trip Ever!

Wouldn't have wanted any other crew!
You guys are amazing hosts! Thank you for catering to all of our every need and want and for making this trip a very special one! Wouldn't have wanted any other crew!

Exceeded Our Expectations
You are in simple words, FANTASTIC!
This trip was planned a few months ago and our expectations grew with time.... Well, now that we are almost done (last night) I can easily say you have exceeded our expectations! From best food ever to safety, from great sailing places to perfect execution of itinerary. The places we visited were beautiful, a good variety of empty bays and crowded, blue water and white sandy beaches. Your service was wonderful, from coffee to dinner desserts. Julie is a 5 star chef.
In my deepest self I truly appreciate you being as wonderful to my family as you were.
One Of The Most Tremendous Trips We've Ever Taken!
Thank you so much for a truly memorable vacation! We felt pampered the whole time by your attention to all the little detail of the trip. We were looking for a quiet vacation visiting out of the way locations and you absolutely delivered that for us. Julie is an AMAZING chef and we enjoyed every meal!
We will miss the beautiful sunsets, watching the fish at night and the most gorgeous beaches we have ever seen.
Thanks for one of the most tremendous trips we've ever taken!
Equal To The Greatest Weeks In My Life!
Where do I start. I was beyond excited about this trip. Well, as I enjoy my last lunch here, I can honestly say this is at least equal to the greatest weeks of my life. Captain Mike and Chef Julie absolutely killed it. I DO NOT want to go back to real life. I might not go :). The locations were perfect, the food was excellent and WE WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN!
There seriously aren't enough words to describe how wonderful y'all have been at making this the most amazing vacation EVER! The beautiful places, awesome company and the phenomenal meals made by Julie! Everything has been the absolute best ever! Thank you so, so much for everything.We will absolutely be doing this gain and wouldn't do it with anyone but you two! Y'all are the BEST! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Thank you for the experience that has been genuinely UNREAL. I wish we could freeze time and stay forever in this dream of a week, just snorkeling with turtles, enjoying five-star meals and hospitality and soaking up the sun and the great company. This place in and of itself would be pretty incredible, but experiencing it with y'all really took it to the next level. The itinerary, your on-point music, the impeccable service, the myriad of adventures - we really cannot thank you enough for the hospitality and patience and friendliness. And I'm not kidding when I say yall should have a cookbook of all of the incredible meals!

MEET THE CREW FOR 2019/20
Mike and Julie met soon after high school and have been inseparable ever since. While raising their family, Mike & Julie took family vacations up north which always meant time on the water boating, fishing, skiing, biking and lots of great memories with the family. They also traveled to tropical destinations to escape the cold winter months. When they took a family trip to the VI they knew they would be back for good at some point. They bought a sailboat in Florida after their family was raised, spent time there and made the jump to come back to the islands after selling their home and everything they owned.

Guest Reviews
Julie and Mike are our heros!
Julie and Captain Mike,
What a wonderful trip we had on the Sea Dragon!
Thank you for all that you both did to give us a wonderful time. We never had a doubt about each day being full of beautiful views, fun adventures, delicious food, and a great time. It was wonderful getting to know you both. We will leave the USVI with incredible memories!
Mike was an awesome captain and photographer for our group jump. Julie, thank you for the bottomless painkillers! Did I ever tell you, you are our hero?

What a wonderful 40th birthday!
Thank you for a great week and for making my 40th bday so special. We've always wanted to do this and for a while there we didn't think it would happen thanks to COVID. This was our highlight of the entire year! Julie's food is amazing. You should publish your recipes. We are definitely hooked on sailing now and hope to come back soon. The next time with our kiddos though! Thank you again for great memories, hospitality, and one amazing vacation.
-Andrea and Cayce
Prepare to be delighted!
The scenery was breathtaking, around every corner and curve was another adventure. And while the peer fellowship was fantastic, one of the most consistently fabulous aspects about our trip was the meals. Julie did an absolutely outstanding job in meal variety and preparation. I went on this trip thinking I may actually push back and saw it as an opportunity to maybe even lose a little weight… what I found was myself looking for and wanting seconds, sometimes thirds every time we sat down at the table. Julie had pre-planned a weeks breakfasts and dinners for our group of twelve. She prepared a variety of dishes that allowed me to try some foods I may not usually consider. She always served us timely, warm meals and adjusted easily to our slightly adventurous irregular schedule. Her selections looked fantastic, they were delicious; the aroma drew you in and she was prepared with sides and all the trimmings that enhanced the experience even more. It was such a wonderful way to begin and end our days. On a 1 to 10 scale I’d give Julie a 15+!! I highly recommend you letting her guide your culinary adventures, just sit back, relax and prepare to be delighted.
Very Professional
My son and I, along with 10 friends just returned from an 8 day stay. This is the second trip that Julie and Mike were our hosts. Both were very professional, knowledgeable and eager to please. Julie's meals were off the charts!! Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. I ate like a King!!! Breakfasts were AMAZING, eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes along with dishes I have never had. Our dinners were FABULOUS. I highly recommend booking your adventure with Mike and Julie as your hosts!! Definitely a 5 Star rating from me!!!!
Miss you guys already!!!
Cant Go Wrong With The Mariers!
Mike and Julie have been such amazing hosts to us over the years! We are always looking forward to what is next for tasty treats, and Mike is ever the consummate server of all he encounters. We always look forward to spending time with them. Can't go wrong with the Mariers.
Food and Hospitality was Incredible!
This was my first time with Julie and Mike. When you rely on other people to plan your trip I am always a skeptic. These two made me feel like family from the start. The food and hospitality was incredible. I highly recommend them for any outing and will use them again in the future. Thanks you two .
Need I Say More
We have recently returned from our awesome vacation on board the Nadiya with Mike and Julie.
We expected it to be exceptional but were overjoyed as it was even better.
Besides the gorgeous weather, warm sun and even warmer water, the first class treatment was a perfect topper.
Captain Mike tailored the itinerary to our daily preferences including snorkelling , island excursions , virgin beach swimming and sometimes simply hanging out on Nadiya with a cold cocktail and good music.
Boat toys were great especially the floating mat which can provide hours of silly entertainment.
And the Meals.......WOW
Julie is an exceptional chief . I am a food guy and Julie did not disappoint .
Breakfasts were amazing with Julie always combining fruit and fresh ingredients
tailored to each guests portions.
Lunches and dinners were spectacular with pastas ,local seafood , steaks , burgers ....etc
Resort style dinning on a boat.
Need I say anymore .
Their knowledge of the area was very comforting and made our trip effortless.
I would highly recommend having a team like Mike and Julie to make a Virgin Island Catamaran tour complete and successful.
What An Amazing Trip!
What an amazing trip! We have just done our very first Charter! Captain Mike and his lovely wife, Chef Julie, were fantastic! Every day brought a new adventure with destinations catered to what we wanted to see. As a family of 4, with 2 teens – getting us all to be agree upon an itinerary for days on end– is a monumental challenge, but they met and exceeded our hopes! As each day passed, we actively worked with Mike and Julie to tweak this or that – to fit our mood, budget and energy level. Each port had its own unique flavor, and we each had our personal favorite – from white sand beaches, to swirling water pools – I don’t think any of us expected the variety contained in such a small patch of the world. Mike really seemed to be able to steer us to the best locations for us, while Julie kept us eating like royalty along the way. I do not exaggerate when I say that at least 2 family members (maybe more J )were caught licking their desert plates. It was that good. Julie also helped us navigated some of the down times, bringing in fun activities (my kids are card sharks, who knew?) to get us to laugh and extend the fun way after sundown.
In summary: Everyone was smiling. Everyone had fun. Everyone loved the food. Basically ….. the best trip ever! Goodbye Cruises, Hello Chartering!

Exceeded Our Expectations
You are in simple words, FANTASTIC!
This trip was planned a few months ago and our expectations grew with time.... Well, now that we are almost done (last night) I can easily say you have exceeded our expectations! From best food ever to safety, from great sailing places to perfect execution of itinerary. The places we visited were beautiful, a good variety of empty bays and crowded, blue water and white sandy beaches. Your service was wonderful, from coffee to dinner desserts. Julie is a 5 star chef.
In my deepest self I truly appreciate you being as wonderful to my family as you were.
One Of The Most Tremendous Trips We've Ever Taken!
Thank you so much for a truly memorable vacation! We felt pampered the whole time by your attention to all the little detail of the trip. We were looking for a quiet vacation visiting out of the way locations and you absolutely delivered that for us. Julie is an AMAZING chef and we enjoyed every meal!
We will miss the beautiful sunsets, watching the fish at night and the most gorgeous beaches we have ever seen.
Thanks for one of the most tremendous trips we've ever taken!
Equal To The Greatest Weeks In My Life!
Where do I start. I was beyond excited about this trip. Well, as I enjoy my last lunch here, I can honestly say this is at least equal to the greatest weeks of my life. Captain Mike and Chef Julie absolutely killed it. I DO NOT want to go back to real life. I might not go :). The locations were perfect, the food was excellent and WE WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN!
There seriously aren't enough words to describe how wonderful y'all have been at making this the most amazing vacation EVER! The beautiful places, awesome company and the phenomenal meals made by Julie! Everything has been the absolute best ever! Thank you so, so much for everything.We will absolutely be doing this gain and wouldn't do it with anyone but you two! Y'all are the BEST! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Thank you for the experience that has been genuinely UNREAL. I wish we could freeze time and stay forever in this dream of a week, just snorkeling with turtles, enjoying five-star meals and hospitality and soaking up the sun and the great company. This place in and of itself would be pretty incredible, but experiencing it with y'all really took it to the next level. The itinerary, your on-point music, the impeccable service, the myriad of adventures - we really cannot thank you enough for the hospitality and patience and friendliness. And I'm not kidding when I say yall should have a cookbook of all of the incredible meals!
