Captain: Jim Travis

Capt. Jim Travis

Jim grew up on the beaches of Delaware, spending much of his free time boating and playing on the local waters, fishing and surfing year-round. Local fishing, crabbing and clamming were a way of life growing up on the Delaware shores. Seafood feasts were a central part of his family’s customs and celebrations – and the beginning of Jim’s love for exploring the endless spicing and cooking combinations with seafood.

Jim spent his early adult years as a navigator on a minesweeper in the navy during the Gulf War, which, despite the obvious dangers this involved, reaffirmed his love for life on the water and ignited the beginnings of the dream to eventually transition to a full-time career on the water. However, following his career in the navy, Jim’s passion for food and cooking steered him in another direction and he spent the following 10+ years on the west coast in the Monterey Bay area developing and honing his skills in all aspects of the food industry food prepping, serving, and bartending in a variety of environments from eclectic coffee shops to fine dining establishments to large banquet catering events.

Jim is looking forward to sharing his love of the water and all the different ways you can explore the water from Makin’ Memories…from our paddleboards, to kayaks, to underwater SubLues, to snorkeling gear, to relaxing on our 360 floating dock, with your feet in the blue Caribbean water and one of Jim’s specialty cocktails in hand, letting all your worries float away!

Chef Courtney Travis

Courtney grew up in the Maryland area boating around the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, and spending many summers on Cape Cod, MA, exploring Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Woods Hole, and all the many islands and hidden beaches around the Buzzards Bay area boating, waterskiing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing – playing in or on the water is Courtney’s happy place! Courtney’s passion for food and cooking led her to spend much of her youth working in many different roles in the food service industry from short order cook to catering, bartending, and serving at 5-star restaurants.

In 2009 Courtney began exploring the relationship between food and nutrition and spent many years studying culinary and functional nutrition, and eventually became a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert from the Academy of Culinary Nutrition in Ontario, Canada, in 2015. Courtney’s culinary passion and expertise focuses on creating nutritious dishes using the best and freshest local organic ingredients possible. Courtney loves spending time in the kitchen and is excited to create delicious meals for you and your guests that feed the body with healthy and balanced foods that will make your taste buds dance!

Courtney and Jim

We met in our early 20’s and became roommates and best friends, bartending together at a local bar in Santa Cruz, CA. Our friendship was instant as we were both very young and a long way from home, but excited for the year-round warmth and endless opportunities to play outside, especially boating, sailing or surfing on the water. We loved working together bartending and providing exceptional service and memorable nights for our customers and friends at the bar. However, as with all things, life moved on and we lost touch over the years. It was over 20 years later when we finally reconnected. Once again, the connection was instant, and we were married 8 months later!

Our shared love for food, warmth, sunshine, boats, entertaining and any and all things water-related was an easy and natural pathway to a shared dream, which is now our reality, buying the boat of our dreams and living full-time in the gorgeous Caribbean waters, hosting memorable vacations and sharing all of our favorite passions in life with others!

We are excited to share this dream with you and your guests, to spoil your taste buds with our years of culinary experience, and to create memorable adventures sailing, swimming, snorkeling . . . and just allowing you to become fully immersed in the natural beauty and island-style pace of life!

We look forward to meeting and serving you….and Makin’ Memories that will last a lifetime!

Reviews

April 2024
-Our family had the best week of our lives with Jim and Courtney on Makin Memories.
-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!!

How can we ever thank you for the best trip ever! Personally, I have never felt this relaxed and cared for on any vacation! Courtney, the delicious meal you prepare were above our expectations and made us all feel so healthy and satisfied. I’m leaving with some of your recipes for sure. I doubt they will be as good as yours, but I will try. Jim, you were the captain of fun! We had a ball on the boat toys and off island adventures. You both thought of every detail before we could have imagined. I cannot say enough about your beautiful boat either. No question it was the prettiest out there. Thank you both SO SO much for the vacation of my dreams. I truly appreciate everything you did for my family on this trip, and I am happy to have made two new friends! You two are the best!!!

I expected to have a great time, I expected gorgeous blue water, and I expected to enjoy being taken care of.  What I did not expect was to meet two incredible people who put their heart and soul into every single part of the experience. Courtney, the food was beautiful scrumptious and healthy. You are a master chef. I so much appreciate the thought and care that went into every meal.  Jim - I dub the “possibility man“!  Every toy that got used, every drink that got drunk, every jump that got jumped - you suggested what was possible, and we knew that taking these suggestions would lead to nothing but a great time. You both worked behind the scenes to keep everything on track, and all we had to do was “Be“. You executed every expectation and met hopes we didn’t even know we had. Best trip ever!!!

What a fantastic trip! The food was amazing! You guys are terrific hosts, who went above and beyond in all aspects. Every day was memorable, but the second to last day was the cherry on top. On that day, we caught the mahi-mahi and within a couple of hours you guys had cleaned it and served fresh ceviche for an appetizer, and then an unbelievable fillet. Top-notch food and service to make that happen. The locations you guys picked were all great, and the snorkeling was out of this world. Thank you guys for the unforgettable trip, being amazing hosts, and all the memories that were made these last six days.

There aren’t enough words or time to say how much we appreciate the two of you in the special memories we will cherish for years to come.

“This week so far exceeded my expectations!!! Everyone in our group agrees that this was the BEST trip of our lives!! I’m never going to sail again without thinking of this week. The effort and planning that you both do is “above and beyond the call.” Meals and cruises were perfect! Not only will I highly recommend you to others, I hope to return for a new Makin’ Memories week!”

“OMG! After dreaming and planning this bucket list trip for 30 years, we can’t believe how wonderful everything was! Far exceeded our expectations! Courtney and Jim, thank you so much for the personal touches on everything you did! We felt like we were staying in a five star hotel! The food and presentation was so impressive! Healthy and delicious! Truly awe-inspiring! We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives as the best vacation ever and having made such good friends in you both! Thank you so much! We can’t say enough about Makin’ Memories!”

“What an amazing experience…everything was perfect – a 5 star sail! From the minute stepping foot on the boat until we stepped foot off….so many wonderful memories were made as well as seeing places and doing things we would never have had the opportunity to do. We were treated like royalty – such pride in all aspects – the food, the fun, the fact that the crew make such an awesome team and work so well together - and delivered beyond any and every expectation. So very accommodating no matter what our requests may have been. They delivered without hesitation and willingly…with excitement and a smile. We are so grateful and so glad to have been part of the experience aboard Makin’ Memories!”
April 2023
“OMG! I don’t even know where to start. The absolute best vacation in my 55 years of life!! I fully expected the beautiful scenery because I’ve been to the islands before. What I did not expect was meeting and being looked after by 2 of the kindest, most genuinely good people!! I also could not have dreamed for better food. Again the best I’ve ever had. My 23 years in the military has taken me all over the world and I thought I had some great experiences. But this topped them all!!!”
April 2023
“Courtney and Jim – Truly enjoyed every moment of our time spent on Makin’ Memories! Your hospitality is next to none. One of, if not the best vacation we have ever taken. You guys have thought of everything and make it the most relaxing experience. Food and cocktails are all 5 Star! We will be back to try Itinerary #2!!!
April 2023
“Wow! Wow! Wow! What an amazing vacation! We had SO much fun and it was so relaxing. We have traveled all over the world, but this was one of my favorite trips! Loved all the drinks and the food was amazing! Thank you so much for spoiling us! Totally Amazing!”
March 2023
“We had a great time! The amenities were new and high quality (e.g. water toys, towels, furniture, etc.). The food was outstanding! Courtney and Jim were very friendly and professional. We’ve already recommended to friends and family!”
March 2023
“Courtney and Jim, this was an amazing vacation!! The two of you are wonderfully thoughtful and a pleasure to be around. The work you do is very much appreciated not only for the quality (which can’t be beat), but also for the graciousness. You are able to make a crew of people who are normally very uncomfortable being served and taken care of, feel at ease and relaxed. You are consummate professionals with a welcome friendliness. And let’s not forget that the food and drinks were amazing! We loved every single gourmet meal and surprise drinks! We won’t sail with anyone else after this – never would stand up to your complete comfort and adventures. We wish you the greatest success and hope to vacation with you again soon!”

“Every aspect of our trip exceeded our expectations by miles. Each meal was carefully thought out and somehow was better than the last. I can say I have never had so many consecutive awesome meals. It was like picking your all-time favorite meals and having them prepared for you throughout the week. Unreal! This has been by far the most unique and enjoyable vacation I have ever been on. The most important aspect has to be the crew. You are the ones who allow us to relax and enjoy experiences. Jim and Courtney were the most impressive part of this trip. I had so many enjoyable conversations with you both! Thank you for being so hospitable, accommodating and for pouring your heart and soul into this boat and business!”

Can’t wait for the next trip!!”

“I am so grateful for all the accommodations that you both worked hard to make us feel so good the entire week! Food was unbelievable and my stomach felt great the entire time. All the spots on the islands were awesome! I would definitely take another time to visit and have you both host us again. Thank you for welcoming us to your boat!”

 “Fantastic trip! Lots of sun…lots of relaxation! Fantastic food by which we were routinely impressed. Courtney and Jim were very attentive and doted on us all day long and were super flexible regarding activities. The SubLues were a total hit and the snorkel spots were awesome. We did not want to leave and we will do this again! By far, the best vacation ever! The Aperol spritz’s were terrific – so were the Painkillers, Zombies, Bushwackers, etc. Courtney and Jim are the ultimate hosts!”

I cannot say enough about our vacation on Makin' Memories.   Everyone in our family has nothing but positive and fond memories that are going to last a lifetime.

Courtney and Jim are owner operators and work as a fantastic team.  The new boat upkeep and details to guest amenities is impeccable.  Both take pride in the care and comfort of their guests.

“The beautiful catamaran's name Makin' Memories is exactly what all of us did from the moment we boarded the boat until our adventurous vacation came to a close.  Courtney and Jim went the extra mile to ensure we had our wish list of what we would like to do during the week happen.  It was incredibly important for us to spend time as a family, laugh, relax, and be outside.  Our 2 teenage boys had a ton of fun.  Let’s just say my husband and I were thrilled the cell phones were not the main focus of the day!

“What a fantastic way to celebrate Christmas through New Year’s!! Captain Jim and Courtney thought of everything and left us longing to come back for more. “Makin’ Memories” held up to her name as we ventured, snorkeled, sailed and scuba dove. Courtney (a certified Culinary Nutritionist) provided endless meals, each one packed with variety, color and flavor. No one in our party is going home hungry. Captain Jim at the helm navigated us from location to location providing us with breathtaking views of the island while giving us plenty of time to relax and explore. We’re looking forward to coming back in the future!”
