In 1994 Leslie Jones left her job at an international lettering arts magazine in Norman, OK to go with her future husband Charles on his 50 foot sailboat to sail the Caribbean. After sailing from Florida, through the eastern Caribbean to Trinidad, Venezuela & Bonaire and learning about all the great anchorages, the wonderful snorkeling spots and the cultures of each island (no, they are not all the same), Leslie and Charles decided to base out of the Virgin Islands, and began chartering their sailboat. They did more than 260 charters over 15 years all over the Eastern Caribbean. By the end of their chartering career they had a 60% repeat clientele. This experience and knowledge gives Leslie a better understanding of the term charter industry from the yacht and crew’s perspective. She knows that picking a beautiful boat is only part of the process and she works hard at pairing you and your interests with that of the crew, assuring you the best vacation ever.
Leslie now happily spends half the year on the water in the Virgin Islands and half the year in the mountains of North Carolina.
