Captain: Lukata Samuel
Capt. Lukata Samuel
Lukata Samuel is a 100-ton Master Captain, born and raised in the beautiful Virgin Islands. With a deep-rooted knowledge of the Virgin Islands and surrounding areas, his love for the sea began at just 8 years old at the St. Thomas Yacht Club, where he first discovered his passion for sailing. His journey in sailing grew as he learned, taught, and shared his skills. Determined to make an impact, Lukata traveled to St. Vincent and the Grenadines to teach sailing to local youth. Afterward, he returned to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, where he worked on day charters.
In addition to sailing, Lukata is a well-known local runner and triathlete, having competed in multiple triathlons across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. In his downtime, Lukata and Benita can often be found racing sailboats, volunteering in the local community, or relaxing on some of their favorite hidden beaches. They also dedicate their time to a sailing and wellness program, teaching youth in St. Thomas both the fundamentals of sailing and the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Lukata has a deep passion for sharing the island experience with his guests, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the Caribbean lifestyle. He is committed to pushing the boundaries of ocean adventure, crafting a tropical oasis experience for all who join him. Every charter he leads offers a rich, diverse experience, including farm-fresh provisions, special island tours, visits to local eateries, encounters with local artists, and much more to give guests an authentic taste of the islands’ food, fun, and culture.
Lukata’s greatest joy comes from helping his guests live their dream island experience. His pride is in providing a magical journey that stays with them long after they leave. Inspired by a quote that he lives by, “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience,” Lukata invites you to embrace the island spirit. Come be "irie" and catch the wind of wonders on Some Kind of Wonderful, as Captain Lukata sets sail for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the Virgin Islands.
Chef Benita Marshall
Captain & Chef Benita Marshall radiates bright energy and has a deep love for sunset swims and fresh pesto. With over two years of experience and more than 1,000 nautical miles sailed in near-coastal waters, along with her USCG Master 100-ton license, Benita feels truly at one with the ocean, embracing wherever the waves lead her. Her family roots stretch across the Caribbean, from Cuba to Trinidad, making her a true "local island explorer" when it comes to food, culture, fun, and, of course, the sea.
Benita truly shines in the kitchen, where she transforms cooking into an art form. With over five years in the culinary and restaurant industry, she is experienced in accommodating various diets and allergies, believing that food should always make you feel better. Her favorite thrill is watching guests "dance when they eat," a joy she looks forward to with every meal she prepares. Alongside Lukata, Benita helps operate their family farms, Meder Mogzit and Greenridge Guavaberry, incorporating a farm-to-table approach to dining, ensuring every dish is infused with freshness and love.
Rising with the ocean's rhythm and the sun's light is how Benita envisions living her life forever. As a certified yoga and Pilates instructor, she believes that health is wealth, and she loves connecting with guests through mindful movement, meditation, and breathwork. Whether in prayer and meditation at dawn or doing flips off the boat by midday, Benita is passionate about nurturing both the spirit and the joy of life, making every moment count.
Together, Benita and Lukata offer an array of experiences, from farm tours and historic hikes to intimate encounters with local musicians and artists. They also create unforgettable adventures on the water, giving guests intangible souvenirs of their time in the islands. With their authentic Caribbean essence, Benita and Lukata invite guests to dive deep into island culture, food, fun, and the true essence of "island life."

Gunnar and I are so incredibly grateful for you both on this trip. This was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for us and you both have made our honeymoon unforgettable! You both work so well together as partners in life as well as work . We wish you both the very best in your futures and I hope your honeymoon is as memorable and special as ours was. Every ounce of effort was noticed and appreciated. From the INCREDIBLE food , to the picture perfect drinks and all the attention in between. Hopefully this isn’t a goodbye but see you soon !
With all the love in the world,
Becca & Gunnar
I had no idea what to expect, but you guys made this vacation so comfortable and relaxing. Your cuisine was beyond compare! I knew once I booked this trip in Oct ‘23 I would love it once I saw the picture of you both.
There was nothing more I could have expected, I don’t think there is anything I could change except packing less (lol) . You guys should buy you own charter and do this yourself.
Let us know of all your plans!
-Ann& Larry S.
