Captain: Roy Pat Rucker
Nationality: USA
Captain Roy Pat Rucker
Captain Roy Pat Rucker has helped dozens of clients experience unforgettable dream vacations since 2013. He has spent over 4 years sailing around the Virgin Islands and is a certified advanced diver. He’s a Texas-born-and-raised cowboy who worked on ranches and rodeoed in his youth.
He recently retired from BP after 30 years of service, where he held many roles including mechanic, lead tech, maintenance team leader, fireteam leader, and maintenance planner working on offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caspian sea off the coast of Azerbaijan.
In 2017, he lost his Three Moons Charter yacht to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. He was devastated at seeing the damage the island had taken and all his hard work in utter desolation. He did everything right, but in the end, he lost his dream and his crew lost their jobs.
Through the ordeal, however, he ended up getting married and realized how much he had loved his time on S/Y Three Moons. He and his wife, Natalie decided to get a catamaran together and start over.
Chef Natalie Rucker
Natalie’s background is in the optical world, where she spent 29 years as a certified optician. She loves working with people and customizing their experience. Customer service is her forte! Natalie will tell you she has the best job in the entire world. She gets to help make sure you eat delicious food, drink the best drinks, and have the time of your life! And as an added bonus, she can adjust your sunglasses if you sit on them. Natalie’s favorite destination is Dinghy’s on Water Island for Sunday Fundays and live music. She also loves Hull Bay for is quiet local vibe. For drinks, she’s a sucker for Diet Coke & Cruzan Rum and Margaritas!
First Mate/ Security Officer/ Cuddle Buddy "Pete"
You won’t find a better First Mate than this handsome, well-mannered Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund. As a mature 5-year-old, Pete is dedicated to keeping the crew and all aboard the Barefoot Cowboy in good spirits. He’s laid back, enjoys chasing reflections, riding in the dinghy, long walks on the beach, swimming, loves naps and acts as Captain Roy’s shadow when off-duty.
He has made over 200 friends in his first year of duty! He enjoys the dock hands stopping by to say hello and bring him treats.
Pete also specializes in security detail. He ensures that any dropped food on deck is cleaned up ASAP.

Fantastic. I noted to Capt. Roy Pat and Natalie about halfway through the trip that I thought we were lucky and so grateful to have gotten THEM as our crew. As we progressed through the trip and saw the other boats and people with their crew out at restaurants, I knew we had won the lottery! Capt. Roy Pat, Natalie and Jenna were wonderful, totally our speed, and we really enjoyed getting to know them and hear their stories!!
Everything from ID’ing fish to answering questions about the various areas we visited to recipe questions…. There was nothing they didn’t know! We truly enjoyed getting to know them and we trusted everything they had to say, from restaurant options down to changing course because of the rough seas and winds.
We wanted for nothing all week. Emily and I felt a tad strange not helping with cleaning up… and it felt a little weird to be catered to when we are all used to doing everything on our own. That isn’t necessarily a negative!! Ha! Just took some getting used to!!!
At no time did we feel like we were not in good hands.
WE LOVED NATALIE’S FOOD. I think we would have done ALL meals on the boat had that been an option. I loved her food so much, that I looked through her cookbook and took pics of recipes!!! We told her we ate a LOT, and she nailed it!!
We did not want to leave and we are already trying to figure out when we could come back! Doing this trip with family was amazing. The kids get along so well. No one ever got bored. No snippy bickering. We truly got to relax and decompress from work, school, and sports. It was the perfect vacation!!!
Our most memorable highlight was the “Highs and Lows” discussion at the end of the day with everyone. What a special way to cement the memories made that day and hear what everyone else thought about their day!! We are grateful to Capt. Roy Pat and Natalie for introducing us to that little end-of-day discussion idea!!! Of course, the food, snorkeling, diving, laughs, island hopping, sunburns, sleeping in the beanbags, reading in the shade, fun conversations, etc…. Soooo many things made the highlight reel in our minds!!

We had a fabulous vacation sailing through the BVI's on Barefoot Cowboy! Many thanks to you for linking us up with Captain Roy Pat & Natalie. We appreciate all the information and communication you provided us with leading up to our trip. We would absolutely give the 9 items you listed a 10 out of 10. Roy Pat, Natalie & Jenna were so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire trip. They knew we were an active group and did a great job of finding fun spots for us to snorkel & explore. The meals they prepared were delicious and always crowd pleasers! Highlights for us were definitely seeing all the awesome sea life on our snorkeling adventures, exploring The Baths on Virgin Gorda, and just spending quality time together as a family. Thanks again for helping us organize an unforgettable vacation!
Take care,
Emily & Justin

We just returned from a glorious 7 days aboard the Barefoot Cowboy, and we're already dreaming about when we can return. To say we were spoiled would be an understatement!
Captain Roy Pat was phenomenal-navigating us to all the best spots throughout the Virgin Islands with such expertise - every day felt like a new adventure. Chef Natalie absolutely blew us away with every single meal. You could truly taste the heart and soul she put into her cooking. My personal favorites? The perfectly cooked filet mignon for dinner and the fresh, flavorful chicken avocado salad for lunch-both were out of this world!
And Pete... what can I say? He's the sweetest little pirate out there and totally stole our hearts.
This was our first trip to the Virgin Islands, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction. We loved every stop-Willy T's, Cooper Island, everything about Jost Van Dyke, and the beauty of St. John. Every day brought something new and unforgettable.
We're already counting down the days until we can return for more sailing, more sunshine, and more amazing memories!

We loved the front trampolines and all the extras on the yacht! The paddle boards and the mega chill were a huge hit. There was nothing we missed. They had everything!! One tiny down side was the bathroom sizes but you can live with it for a week or two in paradise. We loved the crew!! The yacht pup was the cutest extra!
This was an absolute trip of a lifetime for us!! We loved every single second of our time on the boat and on the islands!!

We sailed with Roy Pat, Natalie and pirate Pete June 2024. It was without a doubt the most amazing vacation. Words can't describe the hospitality that was received and the friendships that were made. I highly recommend sailing with Barefoot Cowboy, simply the best!!

Beautiful boat with an outstanding crew! They know all of the best spots to visit around the VI, and all of the tips and tricks to make sure you get the most out of your vacation. It’s like having your own local guides as your hosts. Can’t wait to go back. This is a trip that you won’t soon forget!

It’s was all we dreamed it would be…Food was delicious and beautifully served…The staff exceptional, will go every chance we get!!!

To say this is a once in a lifetime vacation sounds cliche but its just amazing. The crew, the food, the islands. Everything is top notch. Can’t wait to set sail again. This is so much more than a “cruise” could ever offer.
December 2022
This catamaran and the crew are first class. The crew is very attentive and accommodating. We can’t wait to sail again with Captain Roy Pat and Chef Natalie!
