Paul and Jody joined Sea Chateau after chartering and gaining a vast amount of experience over the past 4 years. Their love for the islands is evident when you first meet them and step aboard. Paul has been living in the Caribbean for the last 12 years, but hails from North Carolina. In addition to being a previous dive instructor and aquarist at Coral World in St. Thomas, Paul holds his US Coast Guard Masters License. He also has CPR/First Aid and PADI Certifications. His love of sailing, tales of local lore, and genuine Southern hospitality will make your vacation safe, fun and entertaining.  Paul loves to share his knowledge of sailing, the lifestyle, and the unbelievable marine life below the surface.

Jody, a native Californian, has combined the two things she loves most; cooking and playing in the water. From fresh breads and pastries to delectable desserts, she will present you with an array of goodies to tempt your taste buds. Her culinary technique has developed from years of experience working on charter boats and utilizing small galleys, cozy spaces, and modest conditions. Now that she has joined Sea Chateau, the luxury of the large well-equipped galley has allowed her to show off her years of training. Whether it's a casual lunch served in the cockpit overlooking Sandy Cay or formal dinner served while anchored at Norman Island, she will provide a comfortable environment and superb cuisine, especially prepared with your preferences in mind.

Jody is also a PADI certified Scuba Instructor and is a CPR and First Aid Instructor. Prior to arriving in St. Thomas, she worked as an Education Volunteer at the Los Angeles Zoo, Long beach Aquarium of the Pacific, and Jenkinson's Aquarium in New Jersey.  She used this knowledge to obtain an Aquarist position at Coral World where she met Paul. Immediately they both knew they had found their perfect match. This background and knowledge of all aspects of coral and sea life makes her unique. She is a people person and she will lead you on dives or snorkeling excursions teaching and exploring the wonders of the underwater world.

Paul and Jody believe that great food, great drinks, great sailing, and great company make lasting relationships. As your crew, mates, and tour guides, they will direct you to the best shopping, diving, and snorkeling spots in the islands. They will introduce you to local characters, find the perfect beach bar for a cold concoction, and take you to the best anchorages for your perfect vacation. Whether it’s toasting a spectacular sunset in a secluded cove, snorkeling with the kids, hiking scenic trails or diving a sunken wreck, they will exceed your expectations.
