Captain: Gordon Holden
Nationality: USA
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Gordon Holden
Chef: Jenine De Kock
Meet Gordon Holden, your Captain on Salty Dog! He is 28 from Buffalo NY and has been around the water his whole life. He grew up on the shores of Lake Erie sailing/swimming/waterskiing with family and friends in addition to spending summers at Lake Muskoka in Ontario Canada doing much of the same.
His family owns a C&C 33ft sailboat on Lake Erie that he and his 3 brothers learned to sail from an early age. In addition to sailing, he was the captain of my high school swimming and diving team as well as the local rugby club. He has always had a passion for the water and has sailed in a variety of locations across the globe.
During summer breaks in college, he worked in high end hospitality establishments in East Hampton & Montauk NY and enjoyed providing unique experiences to guests. A few years after graduating college with a Business Administration & History Degree, he worked in Corporate for some time and decided to leave his desk behind and hit the water full time! Gordon went on to obtained his captain and sailing credentials, spent a season working flotilla charters in the Mediterranean, mainly Croatia and Greece, and has spent the last season captaining term charters in the Virgin Islands.
Jenine is a culinary trained chef from Cape Town, South Africa. After completing her Bachelor of Commerce Degree and subsequently working 4 years in corporate retail, she left Cape Town for a brief traveling sabbatical and never looked back to “conventional” life again. She was an avid traveler in her 20’s and after spending 6 months in India she decided yet again to make a major change and seek work on superyachts. Although she initially joined superyachts to continue her nomadic lifestyle; a deep love for being on the water, and expressing herself creatively through food, is what kept her there. After 5 seasons on superyachts, Jenine transitioned to catamarans where she can have a more hands on experience with both guests and sailing alike. She is a passionate sailor, holding a yacht masters license and loves any activities to do with water, especially scuba diving. Jenine is very social, loves water sports and exploring new, undiscovered places.
Gordon and Jenine look forward to hosting you on Salty Dog and creating wonderful memories for you.
Reviews
Gordon and Jenine made our family, spanning ages 6-64 feel extremely comfortable and pampered all week. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the boat was amazing, the sights/excursions were amazing, and the company we shared was amazing.
Gordon and Jenine quickly became extended family members which made saying goodbye more difficult. If you are on the fence about booking this trip, don't be! You will not regret it!
Besides arranging for perfect weather so that we could experience 100 degree F increase in temperature upon arrival in STT, you knocked it out of the park with kind hospitality, conversations, spectacular meals and yummy cocktails.
We were all craving a week of sun, aqua water, beautiful coral and fish, yum food, relaxation and new adventures. We got it all and can't thank you enough.
Thank you
Thanks for letting us celebrate Gordon's birthday with you. Food was great. we're going home to FAT CAMP :))
We will miss you. You're part of the family.
The itinerary was so much fun this time as we got to go to The Baths!
Thanks to the crew on Salty Dog for taking good care of us.
Hope to come back again sometime.
We wait all year long to come and visit the islands and hope it's as magical as we remember, and having a team like Gordon and Jenine is a gift!!!
They helped us create new memories by offering great ideas and suggestions for little adventures. I loved the champagne on the beach and the snorkeling adventure of Great Dog with the water scooters. But most of all I could feel the genuine care they put into making the entire experience special for us - Thank you.
Jenine, the flowers, the incredible meals, great conversations, your integrity shines through in all you do!! - Thank you
And Captain Gordon, your confidence and skill managing the eacht, and care of us was wonderful and done with ease and grace - Thank you
We hit all our favorite snorkel spots along the way - Caneel Bay, Waterlemon Cay, The Indians, Peter, Great Dog and Eustacia, and we even got to play with the water toys. We loved the underwater scooter. Thank you Captain Gordon and Jenine for the suggestion!!!!
The food was first rate! Jenine is an amazing chef and we felt like we ate like gourmands every day!
Thank you sincerely for a great trip, and we hope to be back with you in the future.
"Would love to do a follow up call this next week! It will go without saying but honestly I do not think our trip could have been any better! Salty Dog was amazing and Gordon and Jenine truly went above and beyond and everything they did was perfect! They were freaking amazing!!! "
I could have never imagined a vacation like this was even an option. The islands and sea are beautiful and every day was different and offered a new adventure. We were able to relax or enjoy as much activity as we wanted.
On our final night our farewell party was filled with laughter by people who loved and cared for each other. We will never forget our trip on Salty Dog :)
A true highlight was meeting our Captain , Gordon, and chef, Jenine! We so appreciated their companionship and conversation as well as guidance, kindness and humour.
So gracious, friendly, accommodating. So patient with our learning to snorkel and with our few physical limitations. Always suggesting alternatives so that we would enjoy the full experience of the week.
Fabulous food, great conversation, lovely table settings and each meal was a particularly pleasant and delightful touch. Blessed to have shared all this with our daughter-in-law and grandchildren. memories for a lifetime. Fun wonderful times.
