David Cuevas
Captain
<p>Captain David grew up in a boatyard in Oceanside, California, where life around the water sparked an early connection to boats and the sea. He later moved to Kauai for a fresh start and quickly embraced island life, racing Olson 30s in local regattas and sailing across the challenging Kauai Channel to Oahu.</p><p>While working as a finish carpenter on luxury estates, David spent his free time sailing Hanalei Bay with Emily aboard their Nacra 20. Soon after they married, they purchased a 44-foot Kelly Peterson, closed their businesses, and began preparing for long-distance cruising.</p><p>In December 2018, they departed San Diego and sailed south along Baja and the Mexican coast before eventually completing a 21-day Pacific crossing to Hawaii. Their adventures have included surfing remote coastlines, fishing offshore, exploring secluded anchorages, and returning beneath the Golden Gate Bridge on a clear morning.</p><p>David brings an adventurous spirit, practical skill, and confident energy to life onboard. He enjoys keeping the sailing experience active and engaging, whether trimming sails, sharing his knowledge, or trolling lines in hopes of catching dinner.</p>
Emily Cuevas
Chef/First Mate
<p>Chef Emily moved to Kauai from Jackson, Wyoming, where she had been operating an organic and vegan bakery. After discovering the world of private cheffing, she immediately recognized it as the perfect fit. A successful tasting for a head concierge helped launch her career preparing personalized meals for private clients.</p><p>Emily draws inspiration from sourcing the freshest and most beautiful ingredients available. She especially enjoys visiting farmers markets, meeting growers and producers, and discovering foods that bring vibrancy, color, and character to each dish.</p><p>After meeting and marrying David in Kauai, the two purchased a 44-foot Kelly Peterson and began a new life at sea. Their journey took them from California down the coast of Mexico and across the Pacific to Hawaii, giving Emily the opportunity to cook with local ingredients and flavors throughout their travels.</p><p>Now based in Mexico, Emily continues to blend her culinary background with the bold, fresh influences of coastal living. Guests can expect colorful, flavorful meals with plenty of personality, warmth, and spice.</p><p>Together, David and Emily welcome guests to relax, get involved, learn more about sailing and fishing, and embrace their motto: “We out here living our best life!”</p>

Charter Reviews
Thank you both for the most amazing, memorable trip that has provided us experiences that will live in our memory(ies) a lifetime! Having the opportunity to bond like we’ve been able to on this trip is really because of you both! Watching Wake & Bella live their best lives over the last week has been a dream. Wake fishing until the wee hours, treasure hunt, learn to eFoil, & become our little captain – all you!!
Bella’s confidence has bloomed during this trip & enabled us to see our little girl in a whole new light. Watching her get up on that wakeboard made my heart explode. I think she may even have imprints from goggles that never fade. We sincerely can’t thank you enough!! This was everything our family needed! We’re leaving with new bonds with each other that I hope to maintain & strengthen as we go. We’ve been on lots of trips, but I can sincerely say that this one hit a little differently 💖 We love you both for everything you’ve done.
Love,
The Garault Family
Adrian, Amber, Bella, & Wake 💗
We have such good things to say about David and Emily – from the moment we stepped onboard, you made us feel at home.
Emily- you’re amazing and we loved every one of your incredible meals, also you make theeee best painkillers in the world (better than that soggy dollar place).
David – we loved having you join our card games every night and always being so accommodating. By the end of the week you and Emily felt as another member of our family, and we are so grateful for that.
You both compliment each other in every way. David, you showed us incredible spots around BVI and Emily’s cooking was stunning. We loved hearing about your journey together so far and feel so lucky to be a part of it.
You are always welcome in Oconomowoc, WI! Thanks for all the laughs, funny dances (margarita song!) and unforgettable memories. Much love, The Dunton Family
Now queue the Margarita song!!
I’ve found it really is the crew that makes the trip and this boat trip has been the best one yet. Thank you so much for everything this trip. Whether it’s the meals, sailing, or watersports, you guys were so kind and amazing. Thank you for making Thomas’ trip so special and my guest room is always open to you guys in Atlanta!
Thank you so much for an amazing and unforgettable trip. You both have truly made the trip (and by far have been my favorite crew). You both are so incredibly nice and I love yall’s personalities and I have had the best trip. Hopefully we will keep in touch! Thank yall so so much.
Thanks for a fantastic BVI trip. The family had a great time and we loved your hospitality and guidance. Emily, the meals were perfect and the timing of snacks and cocktails were seamless every day! David, thanks for being a great captain and friend. The gang loved the water sports, the swimming, and sailing with you. Thanks again for everything. PLUS 10 is Perfect with David and Emily!!
Had the best time tackling all of the water sports. Jealous of the life on the water and had the best screenless week. Meals were phenomenal and I’ll be dreaming of the snapper/coconut rice for many years to come.
XOXO, Betsey

Thank you for creating an extraordinary trip for us in the BVIs! You are both such wonderful, talented, attentive, charming, grounded and capable people, and you work so well together! Everyone in our family just loved being on Plus 10 with you.Thank you for taking the time to find special places for us to discover, for creating the perfect itinerary, for making such extraordinary snacks and delightful healthy meals that perfectly suited our family, and for making all of the magic happen each and every day! Plus 10 and the BVI setting are extraordinary, but it's the two of you that made our adventure truly sparkle. We can't wait to come back to sail with you both again!

We have been looking forward to this trip for so long, and you exceeded our expectations. You took us to the most beautiful places. We appreciate the thoroughness in the way that we felt cared for. Your calmness in situations that could have been stressful was appreciated too.
Emily, the meals, drinks, snacks, desserts were perfection. Thank you for making everything so seamless. You make a great team! You are definitely doing what you were called to do. Safe travels.
Thank you again for everything!
♥ David & Laura
What an amazing couple you both are! Steve, being a captain, and me, coming from the hospitality business, we were just thrilled with everything. Traveling with two of our closest friends and 4 of their dear friends was just perfect. Never meeting you both and feeling instantly at ease. David was just a treat to travel with. As I know, boating can be so stressful. He was always calm and naturally talented.
Emily, the food… you were so creative with all courses! Simple, delicious, creative, and the highest quality. I ADORE the French Market and Steve & I adore you both! Thank you, a million times over!
♥ Karen & Steve
Thank you for an absolutely amazing trip on Plus 10. It was truly wonderful to be on her maiden voyage. You two are an incredible team. The yacht is gorgeous and you manage her to perfection. The itinerary was perfect, and the meals continued to impress us day after day. You both attended to our every wish—every day. From the water toys, the snorkel gear, and the Zodiac runs to the incredible cocktails and meals, the week was truly flawless!
Until next time…
♥ Walter & Janet
Wow! We love our boat—but, most importantly, love the two of you taking care of her. We waited over three years to get the 59 Samana, and you have perfected everything on it. From the plates to the towels and pillows, we really appreciate all of the work you did to make Plus 10 a welcoming home.
Beyond your creating such a beautiful, peaceful space on Plus 10, the two of you are wonderful in every way. David handles the boat with ease and confidence. Emily tirelessly keeps incredible treats and meals flowing. The support you show each other truly creates a smooth, happy, and joyful environment! We are more than blessed to have the two of you caring for Plus 10 and her guests. We look forward to a long and wonderful relationship with you over the years.
Thanks for a perfect inaugural trip on PLUS 10!!
See you in May!
With love,
Mary and Mark
Thank you so much for such an amazing trip! Emily, thank you for taking Mason snorkeling & catering to both him & Gavin this week. David, thank you for taking care of all the “boys” on this trip. You were always so calm & accommodating. Watching all of you wrestle the sail was actually something I will never forget. #makingmemories!
You both are so in tune with your guests’ needs. When I had a not-so-great day, the facial & pampering & the dinghy “Rips” made my day ♥. Thank you for making this trip for my family & friends—one we will never, ever forget!! We will for sure see you both soon!
♥ Carrie, Jer, Gavin + Mason
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for an amazing experience! This was a trip of a lifetime for Pascal and I. You two spoiled us rotten. You both have the best energy and are so fun! Emily—your cooking is fantastic. David made sure we all were set up to explore the ocean. You both are the best team. I couldn’t have imagined being on plus 10 with anyone else. So many wonderful memories were made on this trip. We appreciate all that you did for us. Best vacation ever!
Love,
Pascal + Alisha
Thank you for an amazing week, for taking good care of us, and for showing us all the beauty of the British Virgin Islands. This was our first sailboat experience and has been a special week for our family. We are not boat people, and didn't grow up boating, but after this experience, we all can understand the appeal and the allure of the open sea. Safe travels to you both, and best of luck in all your future adventures. You are both such wonderful people and we are so thankful we got to meet you.
All our Love,
Shawn, Andrea, Connor, and Paige
Wow! A week flies by so fast and we are sad to see it end. But what a week it was!! I knew from our initial call that this week was going to be very special but both of you "blew it out of the water"!
Thank you so much for some very memorable meals & cocktails Emily. Your passion for healthy cooking shines through and the food was so good! David, thank you for showing our group all the beauty that is the BVI. We were so fortunate to see so much in such a short time.
We especially want to thank you for planning an itinerary that included some dives, wildlife (such as hiking), snorkeling, and beach trips. We had an amazing time and I can say this was the best trip I've been on (You can tell Gailin Hank I said that!).
Stay in touch and best of luck with your future plans.
Daren & Anita, Edmonton, AB
Thank you for your hospitality, professionalism & kindness. You two run the boat flawlessly & effortlessly. Your teamwork as a couple is fun to watch. Our family had an enjoyable time decompressing, relaxing, and "chillin" on Lady Catron. The week flew by! David - your boatmanship is top-notch - you proved your merits as a sailor & captain. We felt safe and confident every nautical step of the way. Emily - your food was simply delicious. I say simple because you made it look effortless. When did you do all that?? Fresh, flavorful and thoughtfully adapted to our kids' preferences! While our Christmas celebration was short, we were happy to share it with you two. We wish you both a journey in life with calm waters, beautiful sunsets and memories deep as the ocean.
Much aloha
This was high key the best vacay EVER!!! Fish galore spotted rays and a misplaced octopus - what else can we say?? Oh yeah, the food - AMAZING... Fresh caught Spanish Mackerel ceviche?? Need I say more?? Everything was top notch, drinks and meals were so tasty. Kids loved the fruit selection and adults the drink selection (kid too)! Thank you most for taking care of us - watching us while we snorkeled, sailing us safely & ensuring everyone got the food/drinks they want. Happy and healthy 2024!!!
XOXO
