the crew

For the most majority of his career, Ken has been a part of the hotel and customer service industries. He began his working life in the family steakhouse in Calgary, Alberta, where he spent his formative years. The “Blackbeard’s” steakhouse was designed to resemble a pirate ship, right down to the nautical details like miles of rope, a crow’s nest, and a plank. After giving it some thought, Ken concludes that the event may have played a role in determining his fate.

In Mexico, he had his first scuba diving experience and immediately recognized it was a passion he wanted to turn into a career. An adventurer at heart, Ken found a job teaching scuba diving at the Bahamian resort Club Med. After relocating to the British Virgin Islands, I worked as a diving and sail charter captain for five years. The welcoming locals and breathtaking scenery of the BVI won him over.

Ken started a real estate profession after five years away, when he returned to Canada to raise a family. He decided to create a sailing school and purchase a sailboat on Lake Huron since he missed scuba diving and sailing. Despite having experienced some of the world’s finest freshwater sailing, he couldn’t resist the allure of the ocean. He went back to the BVI to pursue the passion project that has always thrilled him and the location he holds dear.

For vacationers of various backgrounds, Ken is the go-to guy because he loves to share his enthusiasm for sailing, diving, and marine life.

Picture this: Julie, hailing from a captivating French town in Ontario, Canada. Her summers were filled with the ethereal beauty of the lake, indulging in swimming, boating, fishing, and camping. Yet, the cold winters left her longing for a life by the warm embrace of the ocean.

From her early days as a Developmental Service Worker to her experience in Customer Service, Julie always sought to provide the best service possible. However, her true awakening came when Captain Ken introduced her to the world of sailing.

For three enchanting summers, Julie lived on Ken’s majestic sailboat, learning the art of sailing. This experience taught her the importance of embracing life and happiness. Following her heart’s desire, Julie embarked on a journey to become a Chef, graduating with honors from Ashworth College.

Now, as a Crewed Yacht Chef and 1st Mate, Julie proudly lives her dream. Infusing her passion for cuisine with her commitment to excellence, she creates unforgettable experiences for guests onboard.

Client Feedback

E-foiling for Jax was a WIN! The bote hangout was one of our favorite ways to waste the day away. This was exactly the relaxing trip that we all needed and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts! Julie-your cooking inspired me to be more creative and change things up! and your food was better than anywhere we are out – including the lobster! And all the thanks for pulling out the toys and floats all day and making all the islands – we enjoyed every minute! Also going to have to introduce the Captains beer shots to our friends back home. Thank you for a truly wonderful and relaxing week for the entire family!

Such an amazing week on Ruby One! The boat was extremely comfortable and the food was SO GOOD. Chef Julie is very talented and puts so much thought into every single meal. Captain Ken is a great captain and took us to great places and was wonderful at making sure we were always happy and the kids entertained. He also makes a delicious margarita and rum punch. We even got a private concert from him. Overall, a fantastic trip, the crew couldn’t have been better for our family charter. Loved every minute!

The Graham Family

Dear Capt. Ken and Julie,
Thank you both for a fabulous week touring the BVIs.
We were able to create many family memories over the past 7 days. Julie, your food was absolutely amazing and every meal was a surprise with 5 star quality. Captain Ken, everyone loved your cocktail skills and certainly taking us to all the beautiful locations to snorkel.
We loved Peter Island, dancing in Leverick Bay and getting to tour with Sweet Ice. We have so many memories for girls and their boyfriends for years to come. We appreciate your hospitality and loving personalities. Wishing you all the best for 2025 and hope to see you again soon.
Love,
The Sands family
