Captain Rob -
I'm a dynamic yacht charter captain and PADI Divemaster with over 15,000 nautical miles under my belt, always on the lookout for the next thrilling adventure. My recent role as Captain of the Leopard 58, S/Y Leeway, with Paradise Yacht Management has been an exhilarating experience. I've been hands-on with an exciting offseason refit, adding a generator and dive compressor to gear up the vessel for dive charters. My days are filled with planning unique itineraries, ensuring smooth operations, and creating unforgettable vacation experiences for our guests while exploring the stunning waters of the BVI and beyond.
Before this, I had the pleasure of captaining the Lagoon 52, S/Y Ventana. From sailing the picturesque NY Harbor to handling maintenance and repairs, every day brought new challenges and rewards. I also successfully managed the transfer of the vessel to new owners and delivered it to Belize for its next chapter as a term charter boat. My time with Sailaway New York at Chelsea Piers on a Jeanneau 50 was equally exciting, where I juggled daysails, annual Coast Guard inspections, and even stepped in as chef and photographer, making every moment count.
My journey also includes a stint as Senior Project Manager at WoodHull Maine, where I led luxury home construction projects, ensuring top-notch quality and client satisfaction. As Captain of the Fountain Pajot 50, S/Y Oceanfront Property, I planned week-long charters, maintained the vessel, and engaged with guests and brokers to create amazing sailing experiences. With certifications like USCG 100 Ton Master and PADI Divemaster, and a degree in mechanical engineering, I blend technical expertise with a passion for adventure, making each charter a joyful and memorable journey.
Chef Jeremiah -
With over 8 years of culinary expertise, I am a seasoned professional dedicated to the art of fine dining, artisan baking, and exceptional barista skills. My passion lies in exploring diverse cuisines, mastering various techniques, and innovating new dishes that cater to the tastes of all guests. My extensive knowledge of wines complements my culinary skills, enhancing every dining occasion.
Throughout my career, I have upheld a commitment to operating pristine and secure kitchens, always prioritizing guest needs, dietary requirements, and food safety. I excel in accommodating individual preferences while ensuring a memorable dining experience.
I am a proud alumnus of The Culinary Institute of America, where I honed my craft and developed a deep appreciation for culinary excellence. Passionate, meticulous, and committed to delivering culinary perfection, I invite you to join me on board Buena Vida to explore the island while indulging in delicious meals crafted with care.

It was also apparent that the other captains and crew in your fleet have a network of friendship and support. It is obvious you've built a great team....and you get to live in paradise. So, congratulations, well done!
Friends on the journey, Lora & Paul DiNardo
After reading the entries from my siblings there is not much more I can add. I would like to say that there is so much love in our family and a family with great hearts and kindness. When we were with you we felt your love and kindness for our family too! So we now officially consider you ‘family’. You also shared your love of sailing, your love of the ocean, your love of cooking and your love from this amazing boat. You cared for it like it was yours. Thank you for an absolutely amazing trip. From the blue waters to snorkelling, to petting sharks, it was the trip of a lifetime, and you all made it special. I wish you love and success as you move forward. Love, Jimmy D
