ADVENTURE US

Captain: Jeff Black

Nationality: USA

Jeff is originally from California and spent most of his childhood as Freestyle skier and snowboarder in Lake Tahoe. In the summers, he would enjoy the waters of the lake parasailing, jet skiing and boating. He found his true calling was watersports. In search of warmer weather and salt water, he moved to Key West. He got his foot in the door with the boating world with boat building which progressed quickly into becoming a chief mate and ultimately the worldwide Captain he is today. Jeff established himself as an exceptional Motor Yacht and Sailing Yacht delivery Company working all over the world including Trans-Atlantic crossings. Captain Jeff finally discovered the USVI and BVI for term charter operations, one of his favorite places in the world. Jeff followed his thirst for the ocean and developed his passion for spear fishing, scuba and snorkeling, sailing, free diving, lobstering, and enjoying marine life.

Captain Jeff has sailed all over the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Wherever you want to sail to find your dream vacation Jeff will know the perfect spot, whether you want to be in the mix of the island, hiding with the locals, or even on a private island.

Ashleigh grew up on the shores of a small beach town called Ballito, South Africa. During her junior and teen years, she swam breaststroke for Nationals as well as captained the South African Action Netball team while touring to Australia. When she is not in the pool or on the court you can find her free diving crayfish with her father, going hunting with her family in the bush, cooking food for friends and family, mountain biking, dancing, surfing, basically doing absolutely anything outside in the sunshine.

Ashleigh has a great love for people that fuels her love for food. She believes that when there is great food around there will always be people around. This is what draws her to cultures, cuisines, countries, and new sports around the world.

Her love for food is almost as great as her love for family and God. And so, with very little convincing needed and a lot of prayer, her father bought a 53Ft Catamaran and decided to sail across the Atlantic with her to fetch their new boat that awaited them all the way in St Thomas. Ignorance was bliss as they had never sailed before, but 2 months straight at sea during Covid was the best time of their lives. It brought Ashleigh into the world of yachts and sailing, and she has not left it since.

She has spent the last year (2021-2022) onboard a luxury superyacht as the soux-chef for a crew of sixteen as well as assisting in cooking for twelve guests when on charter. She did a dual season (Caribbean and Mediterranean) and enjoyed it thoroughly. Now she is excited to start this great journey where she can cook and bring people together as well as have fun on the water and bring adventure to anyone who joins her onboard.
