RJ AND LESLIE
Leslie has a zest for life and loves meeting new people. She believes that strangers are just friends that she hasn't met yet. She enjoys exercising, telling stories, traveling and planning the next adventure.
Leslie was born in Nebraska, grew up in Virginia and returned home to "The Good Life". This is where she met her husband R.J., at a Nebraska Football tailgate. Their first adventure together was to the British Virgin Islands where they fell in love with each other and the boating life.
Her real calling was to be a rockstar but instead she became a nurse :). Leslie worked in surgery, trauma and then as an Hematology/Oncology nurse. More recently, she has joined R.J. in their business doing occupational nursing and safety training.
She is considered by many, as a rainmaker. She can take an idea and run with it.
She enjoys cooking for friends and family. She has taken the Rouxbe Culinary course, studied in Thailand and attended Yacht Chef training in London.
Leslie and RJ have two children, and one amazing grandchild.
R.J.'s purpose is to have fun and live a life of adventure with passion while inspiring others. He grew up in Lincoln, NE and obtained a BS degree from Oklahoma State University and now owns a business in his hometown.
He is often quoted as saying "we only live once, let's do it right". He loves a new adventure and really is a genuinely nice human. He is always smiling and willing to lend a helping hand, support, or a compliment. Leslie has often been asked if RJ really is as nice as he seems and the answer is undeniably, Yes! He really is.
R.J. enjoys outdoor activities, investing, real estate, golf and snow skiing.
Sailing and boating have been a big part of R.J.'s life as he has lived on a lake for the last 22 years. With a motorboat and sailboat in the backyard, it has been a lifestyle rather than just a hobby.
RJ and Leslie have shared many adventures over the years including fun trips like the Oktoberfest in Munich, Songkran in Thailand and the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota. They too are very involved in multiple ongoing fundraisers and philanthropic activities.
Their boat BelieveN came from such travels. Her red “N” pays homage to their Nebraska roots. They named her BelieveN, as a reminder to Believe in yourself. Pursue your dreams. Know that you are worth it. Take the leap. Sing the song. Make friends. Live a life – don’t just live. And whatever else you put your mind to, just don’t stop BelieveN
Please come on down and experience the life in this magical part of the world with us!

Amazing Week Aboard
What an amazing week aboard BelieveN! Our family can't thank you enough for the great experiences, hospitality, Michelin Star food, specialty cocktails and island history.
We were cautious about what "living on a boat" would be like. You have easily converted us! Our girls really enjoyed the local beaches, sights and of course all the Instagram opportunities.
We appreciated the level of genuine mid-western hospitality and the care of our family. We've traveled a lot as a family and this trip and your approach to it all has made this a top experience for us an done we truly want to do again. Whether it's the Virgin Islands, Greece or some other outpost we look forward to reconnecting soon. Wishing you all a great and safe sailing season.

One Of The Best Adventures
Thank you to captain RJ and Admiral Leslie :) for making this trip the best it could be.... we totally disconnected!
From the beautiful beaches, to the tours around town, to snorkeling....and the AMAZING meals..it was one of our best adventures. Safe travels to your future destinations and hope to see you both again in the future!

A Million Thank You's!!
Most amazing vacation ever (Evah if you are from Boston).
So many firsts for us - eat and sleep on a boat and spending happy hour floating endlessly in the sea. perfect combo of activities (Bubbly pool, snorkeling, sugar cane history, a few drinks ashore and the Piece-De-Resistance: Sandy Spit) balanced by chill time.
Service was amazing at all times and beyond all expectation and the food OMG, the FOOD! Healthy, tasty, lots of TLC in every bite.
Leslie nailed it with wonderful flavor profiles, local seafood and fresh fruit. The cocktail captain mixed a mean mango margarita with fresh mango a la Leslie.
Trip of a Lifetime!

No words!!
No words to describe how wonderful our VI/BVI week has been! We could stay forever. Every single detail was planned and executed beautifully. Leslie's cooking has changed our lives - hopefully for good! RJ's steady hand at the controls gave us complete confidence and ability to truly relax. Their willingness to go ashore and take us to all the "cool" spots made it all that much more fun!
We are already planning our return!!
Sending love and safe travels.

Greatness!
Very sorry to take up a second page of your guest book but the experience requires it. From the first step on the boat, I knew it would be a great trip. On day 7 as we prepare to leave the boat, I now know I underestimated the GREATNESS! Other than our bedroom :) , the boat was spotless the entire trip . Obviously, the condition of our bedroom was caused by us.
RJ's emphasis on safety, his stories of the sea, sharing of knowledge on how everything on the boat works will be remembered forever.
From the table decorations to each and every quality meal, Leslie hit a grand slam with every meal. I would not be able to come up with one suggestion to make the trip better. The laughter, conversation and experiences and good natured fun will be remembered forever as long as I take my memory pills!
Thanks to RJ and Leslie.

Thank You From The Bottom Of Our Hearts
Sharing your amazing lifestyle with the 4 of us this past week has been not only amazing - but has created memories of a lifetime.
Your knowledge and professionalism of the boating world and your slice of paradise were so amazing to experience.
And the meals..... My Goodness! The Meals! Dining at the very finest.
Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts.

20th Anniversary Trip
What an absolutely incredible week on BelieveN! R.J. and Leslie made our 20th anniversary celebration so special and memorable. They are down-to-earth, midwestern polite, and just plain fun! It took no time at all to feel safe and comfortable with them. The food was spectacular, and service was excellent. Our cocktail captain made delicious painkillers and rum punch, and we’re still dreaming about Chef Leslie’s eggroll in a bowl, huevos rancheros, and lobster scampi! We really enjoyed snorkeling in a new spot right from the boat each day. We saw beautiful coral, a variety of fish, and even an octopus! Our favorite excursions off the boat included playing (and winning!) bingo at the Windmill Bar on St John, exploring the beautiful Baths on Virgin Gorda, and jumping from Willy T’s! This was by far our favorite vacation we’ve ever taken!
Highly Recommend
We recently chartered BelieveN with our family of four (2 adults, 2 children in grade school) and cannot say enough good things about Leslie and RJ! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel at home and treated us like family. They had been very attentive during our prior conversations/emails and created an amazing itinerary and menu.
We experienced beautiful sunsets, gourmet meals, snorkeling excursions, guided hikes, serene beach days and more. We honestly do not have any negative feedback and would highly recommend BelieveN to anyone looking to have an unforgettable experience in the Virgin Islands!

By Far Our Favorite Trip Ever
Thank you guys for an absolutely incredible trip! You made our 20th Anniversary celebration so special and memorable.
The food was spectacular, and we both really enjoyed snorkeling each day. This was by far our favorite trip we've ever taken. We can't wait to talk our friends and family into coming back with us.... or maybe just us :)
We're looking forward to jumping off Willy T's again and having your perfected Lime in Da Coconut cheescake.
Until next time!

Life-long Friends
Thank you both for a wonderful experience! You are the most amazing hosts and made our trip easy and incredibly relaxing. It was exactly what we all needed as we left freezing temperatures behind.
We felt very pampered and the food was spectacular!
It was a pleasure to finally get to meet you both and have now made life-long friends.
Thanks also for making Sonya's birthday so special and letting us host the band on our last day. A special thanks to Leslie to allow our "eggplant" flag to fly on the boat to celebrate the Chiefs Super Bowl win!
You both are the best and we will be back!

Next level Of Awesome!
Every day is a new favorite day! As soon as I think "this is the highlight of the trip", the next day somehow achieves a higher level of awesome. Chef Leslie is an inspiration. Captain RJ a trusty sailor. We avoided the snow in Nebraska in the best way possible.
Can't wait to come back.

Meeting all of your friends and having the boat party was great.

You Are Simply The Best!
Thank you for simply the best vacation ever! We couldn't imagine a better team to celebrate our 10th anniversary with. You absolutely nailed everything we hoped for and were so much fun to hang with. Your home is beautiful and we're grateful for sharing it with us. The experiences you provided were fantastic, the scenery beautiful, the sailing exceptional, but as with most things in life, the people you do things with make all the difference. You two are simply the best pair and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Until we see you again.....
Incredible Adventure
Thank you both for an incredible adventure! We had the best time ringing in 2024 with you two. We're going to miss waking up in paradise with fresh hot coffee and tasty breakfasts. Thank you for welcoming us into your home in the BVI!
Until we meet again.
Until we meet again.
Private and Unique
We cannot thank you enough for all the hospitality you showed us this week. It has felt like the most private and unique experience we've ever had and something we will never forget. Thank you for getting to know us and spend so much time showing us all the best spots.
The food was amazing!. We can be picky and Leslie you knocked it out of the park for us - even making impromptu Alex's favorite dip!
by the end of the week it feels like we're on vacation with good friends and we have truly enjoyed you both so much this week.
We will 100% see you guys again and please come and see us in NC anytime!

Unbelievable Experience!
There isn't enough room on this page or enough words to express our happiness for such an unbelievable experience! Everything was exquisite and first class. We never enjoyed such incredible food and service.
We will always treasure these memories - the laughs, the conversations, the food, the drinks, snorkeling, sites and on and on.....
A week ago we were total strangers and now we are friends and that was an unexpected bonus. You two are incredible people and we feel blessed to have met you and to have shared in your dream.
Thank you for making my "Birthday Float' so special....it was a dream come true and completely unforgettable.
You are about to take me off kicking and screaming and ugly crying when we say goodbye....but we will be back! We can't wait to do this again with you.

Outstanding!
We chose BelieveN and found it amazing. RJ and Leslie are outstanding! The food alone put the vacation over the top. Leslie is a fabulous chef. We loved the opportunity to sail into all the beautiful bays in the USVI and snorkel with the sea turtles and go to sleep with the gentle rocking of the yacht. They made us feel at home instantly and it was perfect! Could not have asked for a better crew!
The most enjoyable part of the trip was getting to know the two of you!
Don't know where to start! Had no idea what to expect. Thank you so much for sharing you “home” with us! The beaches you took us to were all amazing in their own way. We enjoyed the diversity of each and every place you showed us. But I think the most enjoyable part of the trip was getting to know the two of you. Fun, welcoming, accommodating! And the food! Every single meal and snack was amazing, as well as the presentation. Loved the spices and the heat. Thank you for an amazing vacation.
The food was fantastic!!!
Thank you for the fabulous experience. The food was fantastic!!! There was always plenty to eat and drink. The tomkwa was a favorite but it was hard to pick. Favorite activity was just bobbing in the bay and waking up to a different view each day. The service and the attention to detail was perfect. Thank you!
Believen is a beautiful diamond!
Some days I find gems searching the internet and your boat is a brilliant diamond! So happy we we’re able to follow thru and make the trip. Your hospitality was fantastic and all the food and drinks puts your charter above the rest. Thank you for all the details (table settings and all the amenities. Love, loved it!
A great week, with great crew and amazing sites!
It’s been an unforgettable week! We will hold it forever in our memories. These days were unique, special and unforgettable. We felt at home or even better, it was everyday in paradise, with the family. The views, the dinghy, the food, the drinks and how you took charge of us, made a big difference, and it felt really like family. A special mention to Leslie, our Masterchef and her delicious and lovely dishes, full of love and great task. Also RJ, our Captain, guide and host, who was always taking care of every detail and need we might have. Best caipirinha in town!!
In summary, a great week, with great crew and amazing sites!
You will remain in our hearts forever!

Thank you for one of our favorite weeks ever! Your attention to detail of each guest is second to none. Our excursions were perfect and well planned. Now the food - best ever! Leslie knocked it out of the park with our meals.

You know that saying "third time's a charm"? Well it's true!! This is my third trip to the USVI on charter and it was the best trip YET! You two have the perfect personality for this. Chef Leslie is the BOMB. The meals were scrumptious.
Every activity was a blast from chillin' on the boat, to hikes, to going to dinner, to snorkeling - all of it ...super! I absolutely can't wait to come back SOON
