Crew
Crew Information
Captain
Chef
Captain: Travis Townsley
Captain Travis has been known to say he likes Fast Cars and Slow Boats… Born in Georgia, but raised in Texas, Travis spent the early part of his career working on race car teams (and racing whenever he got a chance). He has worked on everything from Vintage Can Am cars, Formula Fords, Toyota Atlantic, F2000, World Challenge, and Nascar Super Trucks. Life in the fast lane certainly was a good time, but there was something about the calmness, and challenges, of sailing that caught his attention. He eventually hung up the tools and helmet, and bought himself a Hobie Cat and learned to sail. He also started and grew a family business with his Father and 3 siblings, manufacturing product that was supplied to the Land Yacht industry (motorhomes). Raising two kids kept him on land but once they became adults themselves, he knew that a life on the ocean was where he wanted to be. While the kids were home, he started them off on a Sunfish and then went through owning progressively larger monohulls. Once the kids graduated and moved on to college, he and his wife bought a 47’ monohull which they lived aboard for over a year before deciding to change their path in life and purchase RumAway, a 53’ luxury catamaran so that they could share their passion with others. He still enjoys driving a Fast Car now and then, but Slow Boats (sailboats), and life in the warm, blue waters of the Caribbean, are what brings him joy. He looks forward to sharing that joy with you on RumAway.
Tara has always had a love of the water. You could say it’s in her blood; she was born on a boat (technically she was born at the hospital, but came “home” to a boat). After spending her first few years on a boat in Santa Cruz Harbor, California, her parents decided keeping Tara out of the water and on the boat was more than they could handle; so they sold the boat and bought a Land Yacht (motorhome). The next few years were spent living on the road, seeing the sights. (If you can’t tell, her parents were borderline gypsies, so it’s no surprise that Tara would one day be drawn back to life on the sea). Tara moved around quite a bit before settling in Texas. Corporate America was Tara’s career path where she has worked for several major corporations that sent her travelling all over the world implementing various systems. Tara has always been passionate about cooking, and it’s no surprise that her first job was in the food industry. She got sidetracked with other positions in Corporate America before going back into the food industry for the last 10 years of her career. To say again that Tara is passionate about cooking is an understatement. Tara finds great joy in preparing tasty meals for others to enjoy. She looks forward to sharing with you her creations in the galley.
Tara and Travis were MFEO (made for each other). After raising two children of her own, it was in Texas where she met Travis. Travis had a 30’ monohulled on a local lake, and it wasn’t long before Tara was back on the water, where her life started. Travis and Tara were the perfect match; Travis had a dream (to live on a sailboat) and Tara had a plan (how to make it become reality). After surviving (actually thriving) raising 4 teenagers with their new blended family, Tara and Travis set their sights on the prize; to live on a boat. They have been “captain and crew” for many groups bareboating in the islands, and the one common thing that everyone said is “Y’all are so good at showing us a good time and taking care of every last detail, you should do this for a living”. Well 5 boats, ASA certifications, and USCG Captain’s school later, here they are ready to share their love of sailing the islands with you on RumAway.

Travis and Tara
Wonderful trip!!! Despite the threat of 2 tropical storms (neither of which touched us) you were very flexible and allowed us to go to all of the amazing spots we wanted to visit. Your suggestions on places to go was spot on. Really liked the land tour of Virgin Gordan (particularly the Copper Mine and Savannah Beach). All the meals were amazing! I think I put on 5 lbs. We loved the foredeck with the dock and the 4 Bote chairs. We hope you have a wonderful and successful charter season. Be safe. Stay in touch.

Travis and Tara,
What else can we say but Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! This week was absolutely fantastic. This truly was a trip of a lifetime as you promised. The hospitality and food was amazing. Both of you felt like you were part of the family. We also have to thank you for taking care of the “Mash Unit”. We promise to keep Julie in a rubber ball NEXT TIME (LOL). We are definitely Team Tarpon and Anne Loves BATS. Zack will return to be a deckhand whenever needed. We could go on and on.
THANKS AGAIN.
Oh, one last thing next time you see or hear – LSD, think of the group from LOWER SLOWER DELEWARE.

Our family vacation to the BVI was exhilarating and relaxing at the same time. While out at sea, the sail, the scenery, and yacht made the trip refreshing and chill. The land tours and snorkeling was amazing. The Baths and Copper mine tour were extremely unique and each snorkel spot held different underwater creatures and colorful coral. Our charter, Rum Away, had the perfect layout to accommodate our family of five. The Crew was amazing! We now count Captain Travis and Tara as part of our family and can not wait to explore with them again. Chef Tara's food was amazing and Captian Travis was super engaged with a family members interest in sailing. The Crew knew exactly the best harbors to stay and places to visit. Though our vacation only lasted a week, the memories made will last a lifetime!
The yacht was extremely roomy for 5 adults. We used three bedrooms each with its own bathroom. The bedrooms had ample storage and wonderful bed linens that were decorated beautifully and extremely maintained. Seating on the front of the yacht was very comfortable for stretching out and relaxing while sailing as well as a great hangout when docked.
I am thankful our days were active as we were fed extremely well. Chef Tara's stuffed French Toast topped with berries was such a treat to start the day. Lunches ranged from salads with homemade dressings to smash burgers, and dinners consisted of Tara's chicken scampi and ribeyes with au gratin potatoes which we continue to talk about. But, to top it all off were DESSERTS! Her Key Lime pie is heavenly, while her rum cake was very moist and dreamy, the rum bread pudding was yummy and we could have licked the dish that held creme brûlée!
Rum Away had individual snorkel gear, individual paddle boards, a multi-person paddle board, a floating dock, and floating FatBoy bean bag chairs/loungers (which were our favorites on and off the boat).
We now count Captain Travis and Chef Tara as family! We were welcomed at the airport by Travis and had a quick walk to the dock and boat where we were greeted by Tara and refreshing scented towels. Our group consisted of two young pilots right out of college and one was extremely drawn to Captain Travis and soaked up as much knowledge as he could.
I want to go back!

We will all be dreaming of your ahi nachos! What an amazing week we had! We knew it was going to be a great week when we got the best mooring ball at Kelly’s Cove. We were all blown away by our day adventure on Virgin Gorda. We saw 23 shades of blue water and each beach just kept getting better. No guest should miss a night of sand dancing and lobster dinners at the Wonky Dog.
Thank you for giving us a week that was more than we could have asked for!

We had such a great time aboard the RumAway. You keep your ship in tip-top shape with everything one would need to have an excellent experience! Travis, we felt totally secure with your Captain capabilities and Tara, kept us about as well fed as we have ever been….IN OUR LIVES!!! You noticed everything from a weirdo in the group who didn’t like fruit to an obsession by the group for Steely Dan music and now, thanks to Saba, we will jam to “80’s Sing” on Apple! We will have great memories to share with each other (and bore our children with!) Best wishes for success!

Dear Glitter Freckles Bestie and Travis,
Wow! You had your hands full with 8 ridiculous adults. The way you navigated rough waters, a cold (Dang, sorry Trav!), and folks up at sunrise past sailors’ midnight. RumAway is a true Beauty. We see your attention to detail in every aspect of things. But what truly mattered to us was how you made us feel. Our stomachs are full, hearts are fuller. Bestie – I’ll never forget our epic dancing night, “Anne – lift me up!!” (or so I thought you said.) Will be sure to share your goodness and plan to be back.

Tara and Travis – Thank you so much for an amazing week that far exceeded our expectations. RumAway is beautifully decorated and so comfortable to be on, every detail is so well thought out. I loved how every day was different and the land excursion day was awesome. We loved the floating dock and bean bags, had a great time on the paddleboards and snorkeling. Most importantly your knowledge of the islands, where to go and when, was fantastic and really made the week so relaxing – we never worried about a thing. And Tara’s cooking – soooo good! We were never hungry and everything hit the spot everytime. Thank you for making Jake a special bday dinner – it was so memorable we loved hanging with you and getting to know you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your amazing life/boat with us. We’ll be back! Fondly. The Homillers. Jake, Abby, Emily, Olivia and Will

WOW, WOW, WOW, DID WE HAVE FUN! Such a stunning boat, even equipped with dancing poles, lucky us! The food was fancier than Applebees on a date night - seriously yummy. The sailing was epic. Being lulled to sleep each night will be a big miss when we get home. Love your fun and hospitable personalities. Next time we hope to find that lost shaker of salt!

What a very special and memorable week this has been for our family. Your hospitality, food, fun and itinerary was what made it amazing and the scenery wasn't too shabby either. Thank you for ALL you did to make our first voyage so perfect. We will never forget this week and all the great laughs around the dinner table, comfy beds, smooth sailing and great tines, but best of all our new friends - who live on the sea! Loved getting to know you both and we look forward to another trip one day.

Thank you for the very special and memorable week in the USVI. We adored St John - all the nature, stars/darkness, hikes, snorkels, and beaches. It was a perfect fit for our family. We (the kids especially!) enjoyed the tubing and fast dinghy rides :)
You accommodated all our interests and food requests which made it fully relaxing, but also lively and fund with good cocktails, Carib beers, dice games, and dock walks. It was the perfect balance.
I think everyone's favorite memory will be feeding and cannonballing the tarpons at night.
Truly a vacation of a lifetime!
Love and good luck to you both!

Our week aboard the Rumaway far exceeded our expectations, and then some! It was our first time staying on a catamaran and sailing around the USVI, sleeping at sea, visiting hidden away coves and beaches. What a thrill! What a joy! And having the two of you as our hosts, Captain and "Captainess", our guides, and our charming company for the week was magical. You treated us like royalty, and we think you are USVI royalty. Thank you for creating so many unique experiences and showing us the special St John that you know so well. We will be counting the days until we're able to return for another adventure in paradise!!

Thank you so much for the most relaxing week ever! Our family of 5 from NJ who had never done a sailing vacation before had the most amazing time! The boat was amazing, and we loved all the toys! We loved all the snorkeling experiences - turtles, shark(!), fish, the Lime Out Taco Bar was the most unique experience along with pizza on the water and a convert! You made us feel so welcome, accommodated all our needs and took us to the most beautiful places with the most amazingly blue water we have ever seen. We will definitely recommend Rumaway to all our friends! Hopefully the pictures of all the food with help with the media.

Tara & Travis,
Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy the experience on your amazing yacht. From the food, to the excursions, to the attention to every need our family had, it was a once in a lifetime event. We especially appreciate your assistance in accommodating Chris's disability. We know Chris was not easy for you and it was much appreciated. We will definitely recommend the Rumaway to family and friends. You always have a place to stay in Condado if you are ever this way.

Wow! What a week we've had - celebrating Larry's 60th, being together as a family and R&R. This has been such a great experience on the most beautiful waters we've ever seen. The meals were delicious and plentiful. Your service to us was so appreciated - pillows behind my back, floats waiting in the water, tent on the beach; your constant care and concern for our health, safety and enjoyment didn't go unnoticed! Thank you for sharing paradise with us!

We cannot say enough to express what an incredible experience it was to charter with Travis & Tara aboard RumAway. From picking us up at the airport with “Welcome to St. Thomas” refreshments to the send-off breakfast on our last morning, we were blown away by Travis & Tara’s hospitality, warmth, passion, and excitement for life and commitment to providing the ultimate experience for their guests. RumAway is a beautiful vessel and perfectly suited for exactly whatever type of vacation you desire whether that is relaxing in the sun on the deck or on the oversized bean-bag chairs in the ocean, snorkeling with sea turtles, paddle-boarding or hiking to sugar factory ruins. Travis and Tara are very gracious hosts and put forth extreme effort to ensure their guests have a great time. Tara is an excellent chef and presents meals carefully crafted toward the requests of the group. We enjoyed every meal and never went hungry! Travis is an exceptional captain and knew exactly which cove we should go to for the experience we were looking for that day. We enjoyed listening to Travis explain the history of the area and point out various points of interest as we sailed along. Of all of the vacations we have taken, this was certainly at the top of our list. We cannot recommend Travis and Tara enough – we look forward to our next vacation aboard RumAway!

Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed this experience! Our family loves vacations, especially in new places like the Rumaway charter cat! We felt at home from day one and that only grew as the days and sunsets passed! Your hospitality was top notch, the best experiences, including the floating dock, paddle boards, kayak, and especially the tubing led to days of full enjoyment. We loved spending the time chatting over coffee or cocktails, especially the sundowners (kids and adult versions of course) enjoyed while we heard Travis blow the conch - then letting the kids have fun. The food was absolutely amazing, especially thankful for your outstanding gluten free menu - truly appreciated! I guarantee we will be back, either here in the USVI, or somewhere around the world for another amazing Rumaway experience!

I spent my whole life visiting the VI and this was my first time spent aboard a catamaran. It exceeded my wildest expectations by far! We all felt welcome and safe from the moment we stepped foot on the dock. The food was amazing and there wasn't anything they would not do to try and accommodate us. Tara and Travis are exceptional at what they do! Thank you both for making this experience special for all of us! We can't wait to Rumaway with y'all again!

This has been on our bucket list for a long time - and the trip exceeded our expectations! Thank you for a fabulous trip! We loved all the beautiful beaches, cays, coves, etc. The sunsets were spectacular (loved the blowing of the conch shell!) And I have to mention, the kayaking and paddle boarding - loved it. The whole trip was great. Thank you (and Scott's cooking was 5 star)

We went sailing in the most beautiful sea in the world - with turtles and fish to the side of us, famous sunsets to awe over (and a conch shell to note it!) The only pare of the rip better than this is our Captain Travis, smooth sailing, very accommodating, and wanted only to be sure our trip was prefect. And it was! Hats off to Travis and to Scott, vacay was a very memorable week!

June 2021 - broker provided survey
How did you enjoy your cruising vacation?
We loved our trip with Travis and Tara. It was our first catamaran charter and we had high expectations going into the vacation. It lived up to and even exceed all of them.
How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
We can’t say enough about the crew. That was probably our biggest fear going into the trip. Could we get along with strangers for 6 nights. They quickly put that fear to rest from the first minute we met. They were engaging and excellent at making us feel right at home (on their home). They were great with our kids too. They shared interesting facts about the islands and the boat. And all with a smile on their faces.
Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
Tara is a great chef and the food was delicious and varied. She catered to both adults and the kids. The menu was exactly what we discussed and they had provisioned the boat with all our preferences we shared in advance. She made great daily cocktails at sunset which was really cool and fun.
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Were the outdoor spaces adequate for lounging? Was there enough shade?
We loved the boat. It was clean and well-maintained. The cabins were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. We liked the front lounging areas and they had plenty of comfy seating options. The back swim platform was great too. There was plenty of sun and plenty of shade depending on what you wanted.
What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? What would have made you more comfortable or satisfied?
The boat had ample room for all of us both below deck and above. One of the cool things about Rumaway was all the toys they have on board. We used them all. Kayaks, paddleboards (including one stable and big enough for all 5 of us that was the envy of others all stops), a floating dock, water beanbags, cool rocking chairs and hammocks, a tube and sub-wing for the dinghy to pull. There wasn’t much we didn’t like. Perhaps a flybridge would have been nice, but we knew the boat didn’t have this going into the trip so it wasn’t a big deal for us.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
The pace was great as Travis and Tara gave us plenty of options. They were active when we were active and gave us breaks when we wanted to relax. They never said no to any of our requests. The itinerary was a little of everything which is exactly what we wanted on our first charter experience. A trip to town for shopping, quiet secluded coves, great beaches and snorkeling, hiking, a cool party with live music at Christmas Cove.
Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:
Yes, we can’t think of much that could have been better! We would highly recommend Rumaway and Travis and Tara.

May 2021
From the moment I stepped onto RumAway, I knew it would be an experience like no other! And it certainly did not disappoint!! We were greeted with smiles and hospitality. My husband, who stays curious, eagerly started exploring the Catamaran with Travis. While, Tara, took right away to making sure she had everything we needed or wanted in our cabin and aboard the boat. I loved sitting at the bow while we sailed from bay to bay! The water is so crystal clear that you could see the bottom of the ocean at a depth of 60+ feet! The views seem to have no end, along with the cool breeze and mists of salt water as the waves crest, make you realize that you are in paradise! It is truly fascinating to watch Travis sail with such ease. You can tell they are both passionate, experienced, and knowledgeable of the area. We started our days with sunshine, fresh coffee and breakfast every morning! We were so impressed with the meals Tara prepared for us! The Ahi Tuna nachos were a favorite that we have tried to mimic since we have been back home! We paddle boarded, which my husband is way better balanced than I am, apparently, and relaxed on the floating dock by the boat for hours. We ended our days with cocktails and the most breathtaking sunsets, that you have to see to believe!! We loved snorkeling at Maho Bay with sea turtles and tropical fish in every color! We even had our first experience scuba diving, since they are both certified and have all the gear! Travis took us for a fun ride in the RumRunner to the beach at St John for us to have lunch and pick up some souvenirs! The sightseeing is unmatched by any other place I have been! If you are considering a vacation to the Virgin Islands, this is the way to go!! I couldn’t imagine being cooped up in a hotel or Airbnb after experiencing the luxury of living on RumAway for a week! The sights, the smells, the salt, the food, the company, the laughs, the rum! Everything was absolutely perfect!! We are so grateful for Travis and Tara for giving us the vacation of a lifetime!! We will definitely be back aboard the RumAway as soon as we possibly can!! #letsrumaway

"RumAway voyage blew our minds. Who knew these land people loved to sail? This was an entirely new experience for us and simply relaxing and having a jolly good time with great attention and care from Tara and Travis was beyond what we could anticipate. Looking forward to more awesome adventures aboard this splendid boat with its spectacular crew!
