Crew Info:

Jason Mead (Captain)

Captain Jason hails from Columbia, Maryland, where his love for sports and the outdoors began. He earned a degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Maryland before relocating to the Virgin Islands in 2009, a place he has proudly called home for over 15 years.

Jason’s professional journey began in the hospitality industry, including fine dining, where he gained extensive experience hosting elegant, high-end events that prioritized exceptional guest experiences. Following the devastation of Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, Jason shifted his career focus to the sea, discovering his true passion for life on the water.

Since then, he has spent the majority of his time captaining day charters from the Ritz-Carlton and Westin resorts, serving guests exploring the stunning waters around St. Thomas and St. John.

When he’s not on the water, Captain Jason enjoys snowboarding, golfing, and exploring new travel destinations. His dedication to providing unforgettable experiences and his enthusiasm for adventure make him a valued leader and host on every voyage.
