MAKIN’ MEMORIES is a 2016 Lagoon 450 (refit 2022) that delivers a surprising amount of space and a fresh, contemporary feel for Virgin Islands charters. Sleeps 6 in 3 Queen staterooms, each with individual climate control and a private ensuite. Light woods, clean lines, and plenty of natural light keep the interior bright and relaxed, while signature Lagoon wraparound windows bring panoramic views into the salon. The shaded cockpit offers two distinct seating zones with easy flow to the aft steps for quick swims. Up top, the flybridge is both the sailing action station and the best perch for dolphin spotting and island scenery. Forward, trampolines and lounge seating round out the open-air vibe. Spacious, breezy, and beautifully dialed in—MAKIN’ MEMORIES lives up to her name.

Jim Travis
Captain
<p><strong>Captain Jim Travis</strong><br>Captain Jim grew up along the beaches of Delaware, where fishing, surfing, boating, crabbing, and clamming were part of everyday life. Seafood feasts were central to family gatherings and sparked his lifelong interest in exploring different flavors, spices, and cooking techniques.<br><br>As a young adult, Jim served as a navigator aboard a Navy minesweeper during the Gulf War. The experience reaffirmed his connection to the sea and planted the seed for a future career on the water. After leaving the Navy, his passion for food led him to California’s Monterey Bay area, where he spent more than a decade developing his hospitality skills.<br><br>Jim worked throughout the food and beverage industry, gaining experience in food preparation, serving, bartending, fine dining, coffee shops, and large catered events. That background continues to shape his attentive service and talent for creating memorable moments onboard.<br><br>Today, Jim enjoys sharing the many ways guests can experience the Caribbean, from paddleboarding and kayaking to snorkeling and exploring beneath the surface. He is equally happy helping guests settle onto the floating dock with their feet in the water and one of his specialty cocktails in hand.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
Courtney Travis
Chef/First Mate
<p><strong>Chef Courtney Travis</strong><br>Chef Courtney grew up in Maryland, boating along the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay and spending summers on Cape Cod. Exploring Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Woods Hole, Buzzards Bay, and hidden beaches fostered her lifelong love for boating, sailing, waterskiing, windsurfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.<br><br>Courtney’s passion for cooking began early and led to varied roles throughout the food-service industry, including short-order cook, caterer, bartender, and server in five-star restaurants. In 2009, she began studying the relationship between food and nutrition, later becoming a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert through the Academy of Culinary Nutrition in Ontario in 2015.<br><br>Her cooking focuses on nutritious, flavorful dishes prepared with fresh, local, and organic ingredients whenever available. Courtney takes pride in creating balanced meals that nourish the body without sacrificing the memorable flavors guests look forward to on vacation.<br><br>In addition to her culinary background, Courtney holds minister credentials through the Universal Life Church.

We had an amazing time! We also made wonderful, lifelong memories - the scenery, beaches, food (Oh the food!!!) and the company! Thank you! Thank you!
~ Sara, Jess, Carmin, Gina, Jessica & Bobby Jo
Every detail was lovely and enjoyable! The food was absolutely divine - every single meal!!!
Thank you both so much for making our vacation perfect! We definitely will miss ya’ll!! Hope we can return on Makin’ Memories again!
Whether we were enjoying cocktails at sunset from a quiet cove or exploring hidden beaches, we were constantly in awe of the experience! The whole trip was a blissful escape from reality and we cannot thank you two enough!!!!
Courtney made the best food ever (my mom and dad have a competition). Best of all, you were the sweetest and funniest people ever (sorry dad!)! I enjoyed every moment! I saw an octopus and named it Jim and I saw a turtle and named it Courtney. I will miss riding on the dinghy and finding cuties - my favorite cutie, my tarpons!
Love you guys! Thanks for everything!
This was a trip of a lifetime!!!! Snorkeling, turtles, morning rainbows, funky beach bars, live music, Jim’s drink of the day, paddle boarding, shooting stars, endless giggles, and Courtney‘s AMAZING meals are just a few of the memories we will take with us. Real downtime in pure relaxation together was what these lifelong friends living in different cities needed. Every detail was so well planned and thoughtful. We loved exploring different islands each day, sleeping in a different cove each night, and even “battling” a few squalls!
This was not just a vacation, but an ADVENTURE!!! Thank you! Thank you! We appreciate all you did to take care of us, your hospitality, and for opening your amazing home and way of life to us!!
All aboard! A toast with Moët to start the trip.
Knowledgeable sailors, keeping everyone well informed & safe!
In the know of places to go!
Never disappointed with the creativity & choices of food served.
Mimosa’s a plenty! Cups never empty.
Everyday new experiences & opportunities. For Adventure.
Many duties behind the scene that do not go unnoticed!
Oh my gosh, Courtney. Paul doesn’t fit in his shorts!! LOL
Rum drinks daily by bartender Jim! Creative, again!
Island time & visits were well coordinated by Courtney & Tim.
Excellent yacht charter we chose for our trip!
Special team they are together, makin’ sure we are…
MAKIN’ MEMORIES!!

I had so much fun on this trip! Y'all made it so special for us! I enjoyed waking up in the morning and being in the water, then y'all would come out and all the fun started. We had such a fun time!

Thank y'all so much! I am so happy that I got to do all of the cool activities on your boat. I will never forget how nice and how much work y'all put into the trip to make us have a great time. This was definitely the most beautiful beach/boat trip I've ever had. Hope ya'll are able to travel the world!
You did such a fantastic job of showing us the best beaches and snorkeling on the islands. The sailing was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Courtney, your culinary skills are top notch! We ate like KINGS! Bartender Jim, your specialty cocktails were delicious. BEST margaritas on the island! You truly live up to the name of Makin' Memories! We will cherish the ones we made here with you! We will definitely recommend this charter to all our friends and family!
Most amazing, fun, lovely, exciting, and special family trip! Thank you for everything! We will never forget your hospitality, especially the food!

-The Yacht was so comfortable and spotless clean.
-We could not have asked for a more friendly and accommodating crew. They were the absolute best.
-We could not imagine a better week than what we experienced with them. -Courtney’s food was better than any food we have ever had. I do believe Courtney could beat out any chef professional or otherwise.
-Snorkeling was amazing, walking up to the old sugar cane plantation to watch the sunset and seeing all the wild goats. Siting on the 360 float having drinks in the evening. Courtney’s food and Jim’s bushwhacker. There is so much!!
-Robert G.
We were thrilled with:
The crew: Jim and Courtney are amazing! We had a three generation group and they went above and beyond to make us all comfortable. They are knowledgeable about the area and took us to amazing locations. Courtney’s cooking with Jim’s assist is beyond incredible. Each meal was presented with beauty, and most importantly, fantastic taste. They really made this an extra special vacation.
The Boat: We love the outdoor space. Several places to hang out in both shade and sun. And the water toys were so fun. We really enjoyed relaxing on the float, playing with the SubLue, paddle boarding, and hotdogging behind the Dinghy. The cabins are comfortable, especially the mattresses. Courtney (and Jim) thought of every amenity for our stay.
The USVI: location after location of great snorkeling, smooth white sandy beaches, clear clean blue/green water, and beautiful hills and mountains. Each location was more beautiful than the next.
Truly an amazing vacation!
