Crew Information
Captain: Orlagh O'Donaghue
Sailing alongside each other in Tahiti, Croatia, Greece, and most recently BVI - Jamison and Orlagh realized they made a pretty epic team. They both love to travel and bring their experiences from around the globe to their guests. Jamison believes the best way to experience a place is through the food. She has been lucky enough to travel to over 30 countries and has been able to take in and learn from restaurants and other yacht chefs around the world. Orlagh believes the best way to create a good environment onboard is by finding beautiful bays to explore around the islands and a little bit of spontaneity always makes for the best memories as no two charters will ever be the same. Of course some good story telling always brings ambiance to a great level for everyone, between the two girls there will be plenty of stories to share and walk away with.
The pair love to entertain & wether they are at home with friends or on board with guests they make it their mission to make your time unforgettable. Both have a passion for the ocean and sea life, and love exploring every inch of each bay and island they visit to find the best spots for their guests. As avid divers and snorkelers, they know exactly where to go to spot your next turtle or eagle ray or catch a tuna!
Together the pair make great company for any occasion, and their go with the flow attitude allows them to tailor each charter to be as fast paced
Orlagh (Captain)
Born and bred in Ireland, Orlagh has always had an unwavering passion for the outdoors, and travel. Being able to horse ride since a very young age Orlagh was never seen without muddy boots and a horse somewhere nearby. At every opportunity, Orlagh would leave Ireland to compete with her horses abroad, this led her to see new cultures and sparked an interest to want to travel further. Starting her first job as a long-haul air hostess for ‘Emirates airline’ for over five years in her early 20’s, predominantly working in premium cabins for one of the worlds most prestigious airlines, Orlagh experienced a lot of the world ́s countries and vast cultures.
Orlagh greatly missed the ocean and nature, so she took some time away from flying to get back to it. She swapped her wings for sails and spent a summer working for a charter company, offering sailing trips around Greece. Naturally she fell in love with sailing and knew this is what she wanted to pursue as a life and career. Ever since then, Orlagh has been working as a professional captain in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
Jamison (Chef)
Jamison brings a classic Canadian spirit to every charter, complete with a sprinkle of "eh" and an abundance of "sorry." Her culinary journey began while working in remote reforestation camps of Northern Canada, where she took on the role of head chef early on. Since then, she's found her way to the water, working aboard a superyacht in Europe and spending several charter seasons on catamarans across the Mediterranean and Virgin Islands.
Guests on board can expect a dining experience that’s both refined and relaxed, inspired by the warmth of her Canadian roots and passion for bringing people together. Jamison specializes in crafting menus that highlight fresh, local ingredients, tailored to suit your tastes and dietary needs. Her approach to cooking blends creativity with comfort, so whether it’s a vibrant Mediterranean feast, a cozy Canadian-inspired dish, or a light, healthy lunch on deck, each meal is designed to make you feel at home on the water.
Coming from a family of seven, Jamison knows the power of food in creating connection and joy. Her goal is to make each meal a place for everyone to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company – maybe with a cocktail or two.
Outside the galley, Jamison’s passions include running, snowboarding, and cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs—at least when they're winning. Her adventurous spirit and Canadian warmth make her an exceptional addition to your charter experience.

Thank you for a wonderful week and all your hard work to make our vacation so memorable! We appreciate everything!
Oh Barefeet Retreat / Seven truly lovely days / so many memories. - Ryan and Bree are so amazing they inspire haiku! :)
Thank you for an amazing week! Incredible food! You both made us feel at home. Can’t wait to come back! - Lisa & Ray
Could not have had a better week! Every meal was fantastic! Beyond all expectations! Thanks for making memories that will last a lifetime! Hope we will meet again. - Sally & Rick
OH MY! It will take a bit to recover from our visit aboard Barefeet Retreat! The echos of laughter & the aroma of delicious food are sure to linger leaving a trail of joy in its wake. Your hospitality skills are off the charts. Who else but this dynamic duo could handle our group with such finesse. With gratitude, Debra & Lisa
What a week! Truly one of the best vacations ever - for all 9 of us! We would be hard pressed to pick a favorite destination or meal - all were 100%. Can’t wait to be back (maybe without the kids next time - ha!) Best of luck with all your future endeavors. We already miss ya’ll. XO, Kings & Harrises
Amazing Caribbean experience! Great food, great itinerary and awesome sail! Thanks for the good times! - Maggie & John
-Loraine Marous
Jenn gave us a daily game plan about stops, sails and activities each morning and was always eager for our feedback and open to changes. We had a great mix of activities - hiking one day, hitting a beach at 2 or 3 stops, tubing twice, paddle boarding, a smidge of shopping and lots of off-the boat swimming and snorkeling. Jenn even found live music on another chartered boat and "dinghyed" us over to listen. We all agreed our favorite part was sailing and being on the open water! Our 15 yo daughter claimed a spot right next to Jenn for each sail so she could chat, ask questions and have the best view.
Bree is a phenomenal chef! Hands down outstanding, 5-star meals every time! She managed to compile all of our different likes/tastes into beautiful mealtime presentations. She also cooked with a healthy note - we always had salads, smoothies and fresh fruits and veggies, which many of us appreciated. In addition, Bree was unbelievably accommodating and adjusted meals for our very picky 12yo eater. Lastly, Bree was a wonderful bartender and mixologist - she always put a fun spin on our favorites and gave us something new to try (Ask for her French 75 with lemongrass simple syrup or the Passion Fruit Margarita).
Finally, and most important to us as parents, Jenn and Bree gave our three kids oodles of attention, spoke to and treated them with respect, and patiently answered a million questions. Our 7yo was completely smitten with Bree and said to me when we got home, "Why do we have to leave when we just made friends with them?" Lots and lots of love for this crew!
We couldn't have dreamed of a better crew. - Meg S.
Highlights:
Meeting Herman the 140 years+ old turtle
Watching Capt. Jenn and Bree swim with a mom and Baby Dolphin (see below)
Eating, drinking, laughing - repeat every day!
A little competition Bar Crawl on the Boat - complete with a Congo Line (my crew is crazy)
Food was amazing
It was absolutely hands down the BEST VACATION EVER AND BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!
We made two new friends and will sail with them again- FOR SURE.
I just have to start planning the next trip!
Let me know if anyone ever needs a review! I will gladly make a high recommendation
Thank you for working with me and making this all come together.
Carla
Jenn and Bree were fabulous. They exuded warmth and friendliness and made all of us feel most welcome onboard. Mac (7) fell in love with our hosts and they with him.
Crew Knowledge:
We felt completely at ease with both crew members. It was readily apparent they knew what they were doing.
Quality of Service:
Considering there were 10 guests and just two crew members, the service was outstanding. Jenn and Bree worked tirelessly to insure we never lacked for anything. They were unfailingly pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful.
The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenn was an excellent captain and Bree an outstanding chef. Our meals were marvelous and varied. Bree went out of her way, over and above trying to please our Graham (12) who is the pickiest eater I could ever imagine. Graham was a recalcitrant eater throughout the trip but Bree never stopped trying and was always pleasant about it. She even gave Graham a two minute briefing on why he should eat fruits and vegetables. I do not think it sunk in to Graham but I was enthralled. I decided that minute to continue eating fruits and veggies when I returned home.
Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter:
For this “once in a lifetime” celebration, we accepted the financial expense involved: charter, gratuity, trip insurance, taxis to and from the Marina plus flights for three. It was a significant investment but one which made us both quite happy.
On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding!!!! Bree served so many delicious and varied meals (and oh, so much food) that our eyes popped – shortly before our stomachs! Everything was delicious.
Destination / Location:
We enjoyed the many locations we visited on St. Thomas and St. John though we surely missed revisiting our favorite BVI destinations. Having sailed the USVI the last two times, I would now be reluctant to charter again before the BVI reopens for business.
Water-Sports:
Barefeet Retreat had a large mat it put out behind the boat which the kids loved. Jenn took them tubing on two occasions and they snorkeled throughout the trip. The noodles were most welcomed by the adults. Shaun and Hayden also used the paddleboard on a couple of occasions. Mary even rode the tube once.
Overall Satisfaction:
High, high, high. We loved Jenn and Bree. The catamaran was roomy enough for 10 and I can vouch for the ample size of our shower. Everything on board was quite comfortable.
