St. John Yacht Charters Crew Bio

Hello, My name is Jason Carter.  Captain of the 46' ft. Sloop  Survivan.  Growing up in Texas, and spending my childhood summers hiking and climbing all over Colorado, I acquired a natural love for the outdoors I went to school for Anthropology at  Texas A&M University and then spent time in Alaska working as a mountaineering guide.  I spent my winters managing a snowboard shop in Breckenridge Colorado and when summer rolled around I was back up in Alaska stomping though the majestic mountains. I had a chance to travel to Thailand in the winter of 2000.  The tropical weather and the ocean were supporting the idea of change, and getting out of endless winters spent in Alaska and Colorado. Growing up around lakes in Texas, and learning how to sail at an early age, I made a choice after Thailand to move here, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.  Consequently, I have lived on the water ever since.  Sailing as well as working as a Kayak and snorkeling guide all around the area, plus years of other St. John experiences, have given me a great understanding of our  surrounding waters. As well as superb knowledge of where to find the best snorkel spots around. 

 

Ahoy! My name is Larita. Some call me “Lou”. I moved here to this beautiful island of St. John about three years ago. And on a whim, have embraced sailing as if it were air. Having several thousand miles of off-shore sailing and learning, I have truly found my heart’s desire. Being born in New Mexico and raised between there and northern Utah, I was working as a hunting guide on the western slope of Colorado when I decided on a change of pace. Come sailing and snorkeling! Jason and I know the best spots and are always accommodating.  We would love to have you along.
