Alan Roberts Captain /Chef / Dive Master

Ritz Admiral

Alan Dive Master

Captain Alan
Alan’s love for the water began early, during family sailing vacations on Cape Cod and Lake Huron’s North Channel—home to some of the finest freshwater sailing in the world. Those formative experiences sparked a lifelong connection to the sea and set the course for the life he now leads.

Before trading city life for island time, Alan spent over 20 years in Canada’s hospitality scene in Ottawa, mastering his craft in top restaurants and nightlife venues. From busboy to bartender, restaurant manager to nightclub owner in Ottawa’s vibrant Market district, he developed a deep understanding of exceptional service, attention to detail, and the art of a perfectly crafted cocktail—skills that now elevate every moment onboard.

Now in his 20th season chartering in the Virgin Islands, Alan brings a wealth of experience as both an owner-operator and private charter captain. With years of sailing these waters, he is known for his calm, confident presence and his unwavering commitment to guest comfort and safety. His intimate knowledge of the BVI allows him to effortlessly curate days filled with hidden anchorages, turquoise bays, and just the right amount of adventure.

As a certified Dive Instructor, Alan offers Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) experience as well as full scuba instruction for those ready to go deeper. He leads all in-water activities—from guided dives and snorkeling to water sports and sea scooter exploration.

Randeen – Chef / Mate
Originally from the Canadian prairies—where winter is more of a lifestyle than a season—Randeen made the inspired decision to swap snow boots for sandy toes and sunshine. Leaving behind a successful corporate career, she followed her passion for hospitality, food, and adventure to the Caribbean.

With a background in corporate event planning and customer service, Randeen brings a refined sense of organization, creativity, and attentiveness to every charter. She has a natural talent for anticipating guests’ needs and creating an experience that feels both effortless and thoughtfully curated.

In the galley, Randeen blends creativity with Caribbean flair, crafting fresh, vibrant dishes using local ingredients and global inspiration. Her menus are as flexible as they are flavorful, with a keen ability to cater to dietary preferences while still delivering beautifully presented, satisfying cuisine.

A natural social host with a quick wit and easy charm, she effortlessly sets the tone onboard—whether it’s a relaxed afternoon, sunset cocktails, or a lively evening under the stars. She leads everything from scenic island hikes and hidden beach escapes to expertly curated beach bar outings and lighthearted game nights, always with a touch of style and a sense of humor that keeps guests smiling.

Client Feedback

We had a wonderful time aboard Free Ingwe for a full week during spring break 2026!! We spent time on all of the large 5 British Virgin Islands as well as may of the smaller islands. Highlights were snorkeling, hiking, relaxing on the beach and on the boat! It was very interesting to see the experience the different culture/vibes on each of the islands we stopped. A few of our favorites were Norman Island, Anegada, the Baths at the Virgin Gorda, and St.John (actually part of the US virgin islands that wee visited the last day of our trip after disembarking the yacht and heading back to St. Thomas).

Our Captain and first mate/cook were incredible and made sure we were all well-looked after. Overall an amazing trip and the kids are already asking when we are going back!

March 2026

We had a fabulous time aboard Free Ingwe—a truly unforgettable trip filled with special moments and memories we’ll carry with us forever.

Randeen was truly a bright spot. Her cooking was exceptional—thoughtful, delicious, and tailored to accommodate our group’s various allergies and dietary needs. She also crafted creative drinks that made each evening feel special.
When Sam experienced some seasickness due to her pregnancy on rougher sailing days, Alan and Randeen were helpful in coming up with alternative options. We appreciated their flexibility and ultimately decided to skip Anegada, adjusting our itinerary to something that worked better for everyone.
The beauty of the islands, the memories made, and Randeen’s culinary talents made this a trip we will always remember.

Patchouli family vacay. Super fun. We had a great time, and the food was awesome. We love snorkeling, and Alan taking us on snorkel adventures through the Indians and the caves. Alan made sure we had to experience a different beach every single day. We really loved the dog, Ritz, so cute.
Mike, Rita, Emmy and Sam.

Thank you Randeen and Alan for a fantastic tour of paradise. This was a week of firsts, visiting beaches, bars, anchorages, all very beautiful and entertaining your hospitality and planning, to gourmet food was top notch. I can’t think of a better way to enjoy the BVI.
Thanks again.
Anne and Mark.

Captain, Alan Randeen, are most help. A Heartfelt Thank you for an amazing week in the BVI. You were the first charters we thought of when we when friends said they wanted to do a cruise, and you did not disappoint.
Your knowledge of the islands made it possible to tailor the trip on the fly, which was priceless for us. Every meal was nothing short, was simply amazing.
Just wow.
Thanks again, and hope to see you soon.

March 2025

Thank you Alan and Randeen, we truly enjoyed this trip of a lifetime experience. The food was fabulous, and the hospitality was so great. We are so happy for the opportunity to dive a few and it was a treat to be able to do it off the boat.
I appreciate Alans help when I had a tough time equalizing. Ritzy is the sweetest travel companion.

All our very best in your future travels. If you are ever in St Pete’s, we’d love to show you some hospitality.
Kind regards, Rick and Amy.

February, 2025 what an awesome, amazing, breathtaking, wonderful, super, fantastic vacation. Thanks Alan and Randeen for spectacular week in the BVI aboard Free Ingwe
We had very high expectations for this long awaited and much anticipated bucket list vacation. You delivered. We’re leaving with great memories, pictures and the desire to do this again.
Thanks for a yummy, curated menu, menu. Chef Randeen gets five stars and was 20 out of 20 (perfect scores) on the food front. Captain, bartender, MC, Dive Master, life guard, Allan made us feel like we were guests on a luxury mega yacht. I am leaving quite happy and relaxed,

fondly Sunshine & Mike Schmidt,

February 2025

Thank you for the most amazing week. So many memories made scuba diving and late night games. How did Randeen know every single artist and Alan had stories from so many others. He makes the best painkillers in the BVI – tied with soggy, dollar. We had delicious meals every day and great little adventure stops such as the bubbly pools.
Alan and Randeen were the perfect hosts, adding laughs and stories to our evenings and especially tolerating our shenanigans. White Night, especially the party favors and play off football nights on the big screen. How about those chiefs?

A special thanks to Ritz. He’s the coolest boat dog ever.

January 2025

The most beautiful place on the planet. Meals were scrumptious, and itinerary took us to all the best spots to be had on our limited time. Thanks for the five-star treatment.

Thank you for allowing us to share your home on the water. I appreciate so much that you cater to each of our unique dining preferences. Sorry for breaking the seat back on your dinghy. Ritz, thanks for sharing your people with us and letting me scratch you behind the ears without getting upset.
Chris

Thanks for taking us as your last trip of the season. The food was better than any five star restaurant. You were both so kind and generous. We had the best time and wished we could have stayed longer. Robin Lynn, Levi

April 2024

Free Ingwe was spotless and very well maintained. Comfortable and no maintenance or performance issues.
Very relaxing. Food was outstanding as was the snorkeling. We wanted to snorkel and were never disappointed!
The food and its presentation were outstanding and better than anything we had on shore. We all gained weight! Alan and Randeen worked perfectly together. Both are accomplished captains and chefs. They worked together harmoniously and effortlessly. A delight to be with.
