Crew of AUGUST MAVERICK|First Mate First Mate

Captain: Shawn Deweese

Captain Shawn Deweese:
You’re in good hands with Shawn - not only the Captain, but an owner he knows August Maverick in and out. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and a Master's Degree in Social Organizational Psychology from Columbia University. He served nine years at sea in the U.S. Coast Guard aboard cutters ALEX HALEY (Kodiak, AK), KUKUI (Honolulu, HI), CAMPBELL (Kittery, ME), and was the Commanding Officer of Cutters ADAK (Manama, Bahrain) and KISKA (Hilo, HI). He graduated from the Naval Diving Salvage Training Center (Navy Dive School) in Panama City Florida where he later retuned as an instructor for four years. He is a licensed Merchant Mariner with a 1600-ton Oceans Master, and Second Mate Unlimited License. He is also a PADI Dive Master.
​ Now that we've gotten all of the really serious things out of the way, we figured you'd like to know a little more about this one. He's pretty cool. Shawn grew up on the water and all of his memories involve being in, on or under the water; fishing off Cape Cod, snorkeling and diving on family vacations in the Caymans, and waterskiing or tubing during family reunions on the lake in Minnesota. He is great with kids and enjoys teaching them how to fish, taking them tubing behind the tender, and showing some of the little tricks he’s learned during his time on the water.


First Mate Victoria Balcheva
Victoria grew up in Varna - the sea capital of Bulgaria. She was always drawn to the water, and family vacations were always near a lake or the sea. She enjoyed fishing with her father as a child, and was a synchronized swimmer throughout high-school. Victoria attended college for International Business Management while working in restaurants, was a fitness instructor, a health coach and even did some modeling. She always loved the idea of being on the water and running a boat, so when the time was right, she did just that. She moved to Greece and quickly earned her Skipper diploma for yachts up to 72ft. She spent a year running day trips and multi-day cruises around Thassos Island: still one of her favorite places. Victoria immersed herself in the sail culture and participated in local regattas, and was a skipper for a two week trip around Greece, transiting the Corinth Canal twice and gaining more than 3500NM as a skipper. Victoria decided to expand her knowledge and went back to the USA where she gained STCW, Powerboat 2, and RYA Marine Radio Short Range Certifications. During her time on August Maverick, Victoria has completed her 100-ton USCG Captains License course and is working towards her dive certifications! Victoria superbly manages guest relations while on charter; making your time onboard as care-free and fun as possible. In addition to running August Maverick with Shawn, Victoria manages August Maverick’s social media, website and tries to keep Shawn out of trouble...some jobs are simply harder than others!

Thank you August Maverick and crew! We couldn’t have dreamt of a better New England family vacation. Great times sailing, swimming off the back of the boat (66*F water was particularly refreshing) and the food was amazing! Special thanks for finding amazing 4th of July fireworks. Heading home refreshed and relaxed. Thank you Shawn, Victoria and Blair!

Wow! What an amazing trip!!! From the moment we stepped on board, we knew this would be a trip of a lifetime. Every detail was though off…from the great meals to the wonderful moorings with great snorkeling, to even the swimming reindeer. Who knew Christmas at sea could be so fun and magical. Thank you for everything. Thanks for answering Parham’s questions, for accommodating Cooper’s fractured foot, for teaching Sam how to wakeboard and drink a beer while wearing a Santa hat, and for introducing Sambo to a moray eel, sleeping turtles, and ferocious shrimps. We are so grateful for all the memories, but even more grateful for our new friends. Look forward to seeing you soon either in NC or back on the August Maverick!
Cooper, Sam, Sambo & Parham

Thank y’all for a great week.

How can we begin to thank you for what has truly been a trip of a lifetime. Our group of ten had some unique needs, which were met with such kindness and compassion. You made time for us to have fun active outdoor activities as well as quiet, reflective moments. The boat itself is beautiful and we loved the many delicious meals shared.

What an amazing sailing yacht August Maverick is!! What is truly amazing is Shawn, Victoria & Mark! You made our trip special for each and every one of us, including celebrating our anniversary and a birthday. You all made us feel super special, but Braxton especially felt like one of the crew members. He now wants to grow up to be a captain! We are sad to see the trip come to an end, but feel like we have created life long friends. We truly cannot wait for our next adventure again! Thank you so much for such an amazing vacation.

Congrats Victoria! Sorry, Captain Victoria! We had so much fun on board! Shawn and Victoria made us feel so much at home and so comfortable. And wow is Nate a fantastic Chef. This was a first experience for all and one will won’t soon forget. We hope our paths cross again in the future. Maybe somewhere a bit more south?
July 2021
We are honored to be the first trip back aboard August Maverick. Captain Shawn (Barba Roja) always seems to help us capture the perfect day. Victoria (Vicki Poppins) seems to be everywhere at once helping pull off the most wonderful vacation - not to mention the babies love her. Blair (frosted-top chef) out did himself with the food. Who knew “elevated comfort” would be exactly what we love. Thanks again and we can’t wait for the next trip!
BLOCK ISLAND RACE WEEK & TEAM TIO LOCO

From the moment we stepped aboard August Maverick we knew we made the right choice for our vacation. Shawn and Victoria you make a great team and work seamlessly together to create a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for bringing us to beautiful snorkeling spots filled with colorful fish and arranging great dive times for Martin and Gavin. The kids loved the tubing and the yummy mocktails. Martin appreciated being able to bounce all of his boating questions off of you. The food was AMAZING! We appreciated Greg’s flexibility when it comes to our picky eaters. We can’t thank you enough! We hope to see August Maverick sailing by in New England this summer!

Thank your for making this an exceptional experience for Mike and I! 2019 proved to be a mix of wonderful experiences, and more difficult one. This trip has helped bring us back to our center.

We sailed on the August Maverick in late February 2020 Captain Shawn Deweese and his crew, Victoria and chef, Nate were incredible. The voyage exceeded all of our expectations. Shawn chose beautiful bays and coves to moor in with a good mix of serenity and activity. We had a nice mix of water sports such as SUPs, kayaks and snorkeling along with exploring local beaches and watering holes. We enjoyed cocktail hour with awesome beverages and sunsets. We chose half of our dinners on board, and the others at great beach restaurants. The accommodations on board were fabulous. Each berth has its own bathroom and the common areas are very comfortable. Truly was a trip of a lifetime, and I wanted to stay forever. In fact, I inquired if they needed a doctor on board. A lovely respite from a hectic job and cold Minnesota winters. I would enthusiastically recommend August Maverick to anyone wanting a Virgin Island sailing experience. I have traveled extensively, and this trip is tops in my book.

August Maverick is a beautiful vessel — classic design, tastefully updated and lovingly maintained — very well suited to larger groups regardless of weather. The lower salon and berths were spacious and comfortable, but the pilot house is exceptional. Bright and airy, it had enough room to shelter us from the occasional rain, and opened up easily to the aft deck when the sun was shining. It was our favorite space to hang out.

Shawn and the entire crew were outstanding hosts. They were competent, attentive and accommodating, as you would expect from a professional charter company. But what really made our trip so enjoyable was that the crew was also relaxed and fun. And patient — Captain Shawn was willing to share his local knowledge, love of sailing and pride in the August Maverick to answer our endless “newbie” questions.

We had a great trip and would recommend the August Maverick to anyone.

A Trip of a Lifetime
It was a trip of a lifetime. One where everything falls together perfectly. The weather was amazing, the boat was amazing, the food was amazing and the areas we visited were amazing. The "One Thing" that stands out the most however was the Crew! So welcoming, accommodating and thoughtful, it is because they cared so much in delivering us an amazing experience that our trip was an incredible adventure for all including our 5 yr. oId grandson who still talks everyday about going back to work for Captain Shawn and Victoria when he is older.
