MEET THE CREW
Captain: Mike Marier
Chef/First Mate: Julie Marier
November 1 2023 -1 April 30th 2024

Mike and Julie met soon after high school and have been inseparable ever since. While raising their family, Mike & Julie took family vacations up north which always meant time on the water boating, fishing, skiing, biking and lots of great memories with the family. They also traveled to tropical destinations to escape the cold winter months. When they took a family trip to the Virgin Islands they knew they would be back for good at some point. They bought a sailboat in Florida after their family was raised, spent time there and made the jump to come back to the islands after selling their home and everything they owned in 2019. They have run successful charters in the Virgin Islands ever since.
Mike grew up in the land of 10,000 lakes and took full advantage of as many opportunities as he could to hit the lakes.
As a boy and young man he spent many summers up north at the family cabin taking advantage of all water sports. It’s here that Mike developed his love of being on the water. Mike has been an entrepreneur most of his life and has, along with Julie run a personal training business, owned a fitness center and worked in the oil fields. In his free time, Mike enjoys working out, reading and 'wrenching' on things. Mike looks forward to showing his guests a great time and all the amazing experiences the islands have to offer.
Julie was born in Minnesota and moved to California as a young girl. It was then that Julie fell in love with the ocean and the peace and serenity it brought her.
Julie’s love of cooking and food started at a young age as her mother was a wonderful cook and teacher and had Julie in the kitchen with her. Because of her early start, Julie worked in the service industry in many different fields after moving back to Minnesota. Julie loves to cook a wide range of foods but her favorites are comfort style, using fresh local ingredients. Julie’s hobbies are crocheting, cooking, working out with Mike and people watching :).
Julie looks forward to having you and your family join them for an unforgettable experience. They hope to help others create lasting lifetime memories in their dream destination.




Captain: Nick Wilson
Chef/First Mate: Kate VanVorst
May 1st - september 30th, 2024

Captain Nick has spent more of the last 20 years on the water than on land. He began his cruising career at the age of 20 in southern California, sailing an engineless 27-ft monohull from San Diego to the Sea of Cortez. After a decade of learning to sail and kiteboard while working as an engineer, he sailed to Hawaii single handed to pursue a career on the water as a Captain. He has driven thousands of charters and tours on everything from high-powered zodiacs to an 87-ft replica paddle wheel. In 2017, he took a sabbatical to prepare his own boat for sailing to the South Pacific, where he spent 6 months in the Marquesas and Tuamotus.

Kate grew up on the coast of Delaware and has loved being in and on the water from a very young age. She has spent the majority of her adult life in North Carolina, where she earned a degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management. Her catamaran experience also began in college, working as logistics manager and first mate for a liveaboard summer camp based in St. Maarten. Her cooking and service experience has included high volume beach bars, fine dining restaurants and private country clubs.

Kate and Nick met in St.Thomas, where they both relocated for work during the pandemic. After a successful charter season, they decided to take a season off and invest in their own boat. In 2022, they sailed Calypso, their 32’ monohull more than 4,000 miles from North Carolina to Grenada.The trip solidified their love for Caribbean cruising, and they look forward to running charters again on Sea Dog in 2024.

Nothing Short Of Extraordinary
Thank you for sharing your passion, expertise and the wonders of the islands and sea with us. Our vacation on board Sea Dog with you has been nothing short of extraordinary. We will carry these moments and these days as treasured memories. We loved every minute and are looking forward to our paths crossing again.
So Thoughtful In Everything You Do
Thank you for making our trip to USVI/BVI so wonderful. We had so much fun exploring the islands and beaches, enjoyed getting to know you and hearing your life story, and made so many special memories aboard the Sea Dog. You make an incredible team and are so thoughtful in everything you do.
Hospitality Is Extraodinary, A Treasure So Rare
Sailing with you on the Sea Dog
has been a dream come true.
Your company is fantastic
and you're the best crew.

Your hospitality is extraordinary, a
treasure so rare.
You've given us a vacation
of memories to share.

Captain Mike, a navigator supreme,
guided Sea Dog like a nautical Dream.

Julie, a master chef, her culinary art.
Each meal a masterpiece, a delight from the start.

To pristine beached and blue seas.

We are grateful to sail with you
For this is a dream come true!
Can It Ever Get Any Better!
Our last evening we stayed in Caneel Bay on St. John, the end of a glorious week of adventure, beauty and fun.

This was our first time to the Virgin Islands, the first time on a catamaran and I find it hard to imagine it can ever get better than this.

The natural beauty of the islands can only be seen in their entirety from the water. The many deserted coves and beaches, where we walked in the soft sand and snorkeled in the crystal clear water, were an up-close and immersive experience second to none.

Our son loved the underwater sea scooters and the wake board. Our oldest daughter would go out on the stand up paddleboards, and our youngest daughters jumped from the upper deck in between relaxing and handing out.

Mike was the perfect boat captain. Everything on board worked well, there was plenty of water for showers and all the toys and activities were already for use. He sailed us to the best of the islands, taking into account the weather and waves so we had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. On the longer stretches Miked showed anyone who was interested how to sail the catamaran, how to go fast and avoid the other ships and boats while getting to where we wanted to go. Mike led our weeklong vacation while being kind, pleasant, and confidentially in command. This certainly made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience.

As Mike led the boat, Julie led the accommodations and especially the kitchen. meals were the highlights of each day! The quantity, quality and presentation of breakfast, lunch, snack and especially dinner was wonderful. Juslie is an outstanding chef. The cuisine was fresh and flavourful while at the same time being hearty, healthy and a joy to behold!
She kept the living area neat, clean and attractive!

While exploring both the American and British Virgin Islands we felt like we were in a floating luxury hotel. Every day provided a new and unique experience and the transit from island to island was an ever changing seascape of stunning natural beauty.

Every person in our family rates this as one of our best vacations ever. The only thing that might make it better was if we had a small convoy of 2 to 4 catamarans shared with friends and family, each crewed by a couple as thoughtful and capable as Mike and Julie.

Thank you!
Blessed
Thank you for the awesome week on the Sea Dog! The food was amazing! Thankful for all your knowledge about the islands. We are blessed to have spent the week with you both.
Deep Gratitude
The work you do is so important and so appreciated. Just wanted to express our deep gratitude for the dedicated work you do day after day. Because of you Mike and Julie, our time on Sea Dog was one of the best vacation ever.
Wonderful Experience
Thank you for a wonderful experience. The meals were amazing. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to another trip soon!
Championed This Entire Memory For Our Family
GUEST REVIEW TO BROKER

We arrived home safe and sound last night. I wanted to let you know what an amazing time our family had on the SeaDog. We were treated like family by Nick and Kate and our son absolutely adores Nick. He spent so much time helping Nate fish and educating him on things, that we saw Nate come out of his shell and have great moments of dialog with Nick. We couldn’t be more happy than this.
Kate prepared amazing food all week and waited on us hand and foot.
The SeaDog was very clean and accommodating.
We couldn’t have had a better crew. We highly recommend Nick and Kate, they championed this entire memory for our family.
Thank you.!!!!

Yacht Name: Sea Dog

Rating of Yacht & Crew: 5

Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
Yes very good layout and very clean.

Was the yacht well ventilated?
Very - we kept the doors open during the day and the AC was nice and cold at night

Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
Our crew was absolutely amazing. Captain Nick was the perfect balance of fun and safe. I knew about 30 mins in to being on the boat that he had our safety as his number one priority and that he knew sailing inside and out. He took us to great spots and when he wasn’t busy sailing he was busy cleaning up, getting toys out, helping Kate, or answering any of our million questions we were always throwing at him. He fished with us every night and that was definitely a highlight of the trip. Kate…no words. I think I speak for all of us when I say we wanted to take her home with us! She was the sweetest, kindest hostess we could ever imagine. Her food was delicious and her drinks were even better! She worked so hard the week we were there and you could tell she loved every minute of it. It would be hard to imagine doing this trip with anyone else.

Was the food good and well presented?
Yes the food was amazing. Every meal was delicious and our Chef, Kate, took into consideration all of the likes/dislikes we each told her about.

Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
We can’t imagine a better time than the one we had onboard Sea Dog with Kate and Nick. Every aspect was perfect - from the planning with VI Sailing to the trip itself. The boat was beautiful and safe and our crew took the best care of us. It was hard to leave on the last day.
Cruising Area

Did you like the area you chartered in?
Yes! We were so glad we were about to visit both the USVI and BVI in one trip.
Our Crew Was Absolutely Amazing
We had the best week ever on Sea Dog with Captain Nick and Chef Kate. Every aspect of the trip far exceeded any expectations that we had. The boat was beautiful. Very spacious and the lay out was perfect for our group of 6 to be together or spread out when needed. Our absolute favorite feature of the boat was the flybridge. It was where we ended every day and I can’t imagine being on a boat without that space.

Absolute Best Way To See the USVI & BVI
We just returned home from a fabulous week aboard the Sea Dog. We were celebrating a couple of 40th birthdays with some dear friends! We could not have chosen a better boat and crew. Nick & Kate took the best care of us and made the week even that much better! They even joined in on our 80s theme night. 🙂 Loved getting to know them and would sail again with them in a heartbeat! Sea Dog was the perfect size for our group and we loved all of the snorkeling, SUP, and fishing! The sky bridge was my favorite spot for pre-dinner happy hour. This was the absolute best way to see the USVI & BVIs. We cannot wait to do it again!
Unmatched hospitality!
Thank you for all your hard work! You made our vacation relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. Your hospitality and attention to detail is unmatched!
We wish you well in your future adventures
Appreciative
Thank you so much for this vacation that I'll never forget. I appreciate everything you guys have done.
The Most Memorable Spring Break
Thank you so much for taking our family on an amazing adventure! From the first sunset to the last, the week was full of gorgeous scenery and picturesque views. Your attention to detail, expert planning, and delicious meals have truly given us the most memorable spring break!!

Highlights: avoiding the shakes with well crafted cocktails :), snorkeling with sea turtles, sea scooters, sailing....sailing....sailing, deserted beaches, food....food...gummy bears....cheese puffs..., playing family games every night while we still have the kids under our roof.

Sincerely, Thank you for sharing your expertise and "second home" with us!! We will never forget this experience or you two. Best wishes to you in your future sails!

A Good Balance - Activities and Relaxation
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for an amazing, unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. Looking forward to this, but not knowing what to expect, we relied on your guidance and knowledge. We were able to see some of God's most beautiful creations.

Thanks Mike for smooth sailing and taking us to some great snorkel spots. It was a good balance between activities and relaxation. We sure got lucky and spoiled with some amazing food and will be dreaming of how delicious everything was.... and probably need to go on a diet when we get back home :)
I think it is safe to say, that this has been the best vacation for all of us.
Best Crew Couple!
Thanks for navigating our dream vacation! Your attention to detail and your professionalism was outstanding.

We could not have had a better crew couple that treated us with the most respect, service and food I could have ever imagined.
The most amazing team!
Thank you so much for an incredible week. We had high hopes and everything exceeded our expectations. You two are an amazing team and you cover every job from Chef, to Captain, to activity leader, to bartender, and even hair stylist! It was lovely to be pampered all week and I will miss the lazy days and long beautiful sunsets. You both were a joy to have a long as company as well. We hope to stay in touch and please let us know if you ever head toward Chicago. Looking forward to coming back to the Virgin Islands soon - maybe you will have a bigger boat by then and we can all fit.

Best of luck to you both!
Thank you for some amazing memories!

Thank you so much for a wonderful charter! You both made the journey incredibly relaxing and were very accommodative. I know we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. It was a hell of a trip and seeing my mom’s reaction each day made all of it worth it. On top of that, the beautiful views, the BOMB food band the organization of the ship made this something I look forward to doing again.
A trip to remember!
What a pleasure it has been spending this week with you both. You both are incredible hosts and have made this trip one I will never forget. From the scent of coffee as an alarm clock, to our delicious dinners, to the captain’s cocktails, to letting us take over your speakers all week- you both have put so much energy into our experience. THANK YOU for spending Thanksgiving with us!

We Can't Wait To Come Back.
Thank you both for hosting such a wonderful trip for our family. She is a beautiful boat. The primary cabin is huge and was such a treat for my wife and I. There was plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy meals, play cards, read and take in the spectacular views. The food was delicious and the service was flawless. We are grateful for all the spot on activity recommendations. This was our first charter experience and we can't wait to come back and do it again!
Sun, Cocktails and Beautiful Beaches!
"Thank you" is not enough to show our gratitude to you Mike and Julie for an incredible trip!! We always felt safe in Mike's capable hands and the 5-star meals by Julie were the best part! After this vacation, we are going home well rested, pampered and wishing we could take Julie home with us to keep us fed :).

This week of sun, amazing cocktails, beautiful beaches and tons of laughs is exactly what we all needed.

So Grateful!
Thank you for treating us so well! You took incredible care of us and we are so grateful! You made our 15th wedding anniversary super memorable. We loved the snorkeling and exploring via SUP! What an amazing way to see the USVI! The food was so perfect and delicious! We will be craving your eggplant parmigiana for years to come!

Your hosting was so attentive and yet so effortless. You are both such naturals at this gig. We enjoyed our easy conversations and getting to know you both!
Watching the stars on the upper deck and listening to random 90s music was another highlight!
Thank you!!
Fantastic! Wonderful! Amazing!
I wanted to send a quick note about our trip. I’ll start with fantastic! Wonderful! Amazing! Spectacular!
It TRULY is just gorgeous. It is spacious and very well appointed. Mike and Julie were so great! They were simply lovely people who were thoughtful, kind and anticipated what we would want. They take good care all the way around. We were pampered beyond expectations.

(Our only disappointment was on Sunday following our return home we were left to our own devices in our homes to mix our own drinks, prepare our own meals and clean up after dinner! HaHaHa )

I will close with a heartfelt thank you for sharing your beautiful sailing vessel with us.
