Shawn Henderson-Captain
Julian Ayala-Chef/First Mate

the crew

Captain Shawn Henderson
From Texas trails to tropical tides, Captain Shawn’s journey has always flowed between two worlds. Raised in a quaint Texas town, she grew up with a blend of equestrian grace and aquatic adventure, spending her childhood either on horseback or at anchor in quiet coves. At her family’s hunting lodge, she discovered her love for cooking and hospitality, preparing meals for guests and learning the art of creating comfort through food and warmth.

Her professional path began in education, with summers devoted to water sports and exploring the cultures that shaped her passion for life on the water. Eventually, the call of the Virgin Islands became impossible to ignore. Leaving behind a career in the oil and gas sector, Shawn charted a new course — transforming a lifelong dream into a thriving reality.

As a yacht owner, captain, chef, and island guide, she first brought her talents to the jointly owned and chartered sailing catamaran, SV Cashmere, blending seamanship, service, and soul. Today, she pours that same dedication into SV Oceans 8, where her servant-hearted approach, culinary creativity, and deep local knowledge come together to craft unforgettable guest experiences.

Whether guiding guests through turquoise bays, preparing fresh island-inspired dishes, or sharing the hidden gems of the Virgin Islands, Shawn invites you to savor the beauty of the sea and the thrill of adventure. A journey aboard Oceans 8 isn’t just a vacation — it’s a memory in the making.

Chef Julian Ayala
A native Texan with a lifelong connection to the water, Julian’s love of cooking began alongside his love of the outdoors. Raised on Gulf Coast fishing trips and family gatherings centered around food, he developed a passion for fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and the kind of meals that bring people together.

Before transitioning fully to life at sea, Julian built a successful 28-year career in the energy sector after earning his degree from the University of Houston. His entrepreneurial drive led him to operate his own consulting firm, where leadership, organization, and attention to detail were essential. Those same qualities now define his approach in the galley.

As an owner-operator aboard a 50’ sailing catamaran in the Virgin Islands, Julian served as captain, first mate, and chef — managing provisioning, creating customized menus, and delivering full charter experiences for guests. He holds a USCG 100 GRT Master’s License with Sailing Endorsement, along with STCW, ENG1, TABC, and Food Handling certifications.

In the galley, Julian focuses on fresh, flavorful meals inspired by coastal living — from expertly grilled seafood and Texas-inspired specialties to island favorites and handcrafted cocktails. He enjoys creating relaxed, memorable dining experiences that reflect the beauty of the Caribbean.

With calm confidence and genuine hospitality, Chef Julian looks forward to welcoming guests aboard and sharing the simple pleasures of great food and life on the water.

Our family vacation was filled with laughter, incredible food and the generous hospitality of Shawn & Julian. They made sure we had some unique experiences that were unlike previous trips to this region. Shawn & Julian often anticipated our needs way before we realized them. Over the week we got better at realizing our needs while getting on/off the dinghy. Thank you for the wonderful time away!

Our family wanted to return to the BVI and we all had wish list wishes. Shawn and Julian listened and made sure all our wishes came true. This was a popular, tourist week so Shawn & Julian seemed to work magic to get us in and out of high volume areas. This trip was relaxing because of how well stocked the boat was (including sunscreen, towels, shampoo). Shawn and Julian were flexible and knowledgeable. Our group ranged in age from 16 yrs old to 75 years. We all had a wonderful time.

This was such a memorable trip that I will cherish forever! Shawn and Julian are phenomenal people!! Guana Island was my favorite (the prettiest water and very remote). Cooper Island was a very cute and fun spot. You really can’t go wrong; it’s hard to compare all the beautiful views.

We had a BLAST on oceans & with Shawn & Julian island hopping around the BVIS and US VI. We had our family of 4 plus two friends. It was a very memorable time for our family. My favorite was Guana Island very remote and beautiful. We loved snorkeling and swimming around Monkey point. This was an adventure I will cherish forever! Annaberg was a beautiful hike and the views were breathtaking. The food was exceptional and the attention to detail Shawn & Julian provide is outstanding! The boys caught some fish & the girls enjoyed the front of the boat subathing. The trip was beyond our expectations! Plus We saw whales!

The stop was amazing beautiful beaches and mountains. I loved sitting up front tanning (wear sunscreen !!!) enjoying the views they never get old. Foxy bar is so fun and upbeat music to dance to. The college flags all around is very neat as well. Definitely worth stopping at. Guana Island was very quaint & the water was such a pretty clear blue. Food was very yummy and Shawn + Julian are the best. Both very personable & sweet poopy!

Firstly, let me say that I am a business owner, and am eerily aware of reviews that may not be from real customers. This is a legit review, from a very satisfied customer. Recently I booked a trip on Cashmere for a week of relaxation, in the USVI. I had never been there before, and had heard great things. A good friend of mine, had called and recommended this yacht trip. At first I hesitated, because it’s a different type of vacation. Stuck on a boat for 6 days, I thought…. ? No way…. Well, let me be the first to dispel that notion. This is a one of a kind adventure, that most people in this world, wouldn’t be privy to. If you are reading this, you need to seriously look into it. Imagine sailing from beach to beach, island to island 🏝. Taking a small boat ashore, while your vessel is moored in the bay, to investigate little towns and shop for local goods. It almost makes you feel like a Spanish Conquistador, when they landed on the beaches hundreds of years ago. Sleeping on the yacht in a different bay each night. Waking up in the morning, to a freshly cooked gourmet breakfast with hot coffee. Peering down into the clearest most turquoise water you’ve ever seen. Catching a glimpse of a passing 5 foot long barracuda meandering 6 inches from the surface, for some warm sunlight. Snorkeling twice a day in different bays, coming face to face with docile sea turtles, nurse sharks, puffer fish and thousands of different colorful species of fish. Star gazing at trillions of stars from the 3rd level of the yacht at night. Have I painted the picture for you yet ? I even proposed to my fiancé on the yacht at sunset in Maho Bay. Don’t limit yourself to the same ole vacation, where you book a room and then try to figure out an itinerary. Book your trip on Cashmere, and let them do everything for you. Like I said…. One of a kind vacation.

Crew Review from Previous Yacht
OCEANS 8

I recently embarked on a mesmerizing vacation with Boatique Yacht Charters. Words cannot fully capture the sheer beauty and unparalleled experience I had during my time aboard their Cashmere. From the exhilarating sailing to the snorkeling and beach hopping, every aspect of this trip was nothing short of extraordinary. One of the highlights of this vacation was the unforgettable snorkeling experiences. The USVI are renowned for their vibrant marine life and captivating coral reefs, and Boatique Yacht Charters made sure we experienced the best of it. Beach hopping was an absolute dream come true. The crew took us to some of the most idyllic and secluded beaches. Each day brought a new culinary adventure crafted with precision and passion. It felt like indulging in a five star restaurant, but with the added bonus of dining amidst the breathtaking scenery of the USVI. I can confidently say that my vacation with Boatique Yacht Charters was the best I have ever experienced. I am already counting down the days until I can return to this paradise and create more everlasting memories.

Crew Review from Previous Yacht
OCEANS 8

My husband and I (plus two other couples) took a six day cruise aboard the Cashmere in June around the US Virgin Islands. Without a doubt, it was one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had. The crew, which consisted of a captain and a chef, were amazing. We sailed to some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever see, and we were treated like royalty. The meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) were some of the best we have ever had. The Cashmere is a 50’ catamaran with a cabin and private bathroom for each couple. The beds were very comfortable, and the cabins are air conditioned at night for a good night sleep after long days of sailing, snorkeling, and beach visits. Including the crew, there were eight people on the boat,but it never felt crowded because it is quite a large boat. If you have never vacationed like this, I highly recommend it, it is truly a unique experience. If you decide to try it, I highly, highly, recommend booking with Boutique Charters, they are true professionals and there was really nothing to complain about. God willing, we will soon go back and sail on the Cashmere again. ~Mahely
