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 the winter of 2000.  The tropical weather and the ocean were supporting ideas of change, and getting out of endless winters spent in Alaska and Colorado. Growing up around lakes in Texas, and learning how to sail, I made a choice after Thailand to move here, St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Consequently, I have lived on the water ever since.  Sailing, exploring, as well as working as a Kayak and snorkeling guide all around the area have given me a great understanding of our  surrounding waters. The snorkeling around St John is excellent and Lou and I have a superb knowledge of where the best snorkel spots are and what we will see there.

Ahoy! My name is Larita. Most people on island call me “Lou”. I moved here to this beautiful island of St. John about four 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.
