Crew Profiles:

Captain Joe grew up just 3 miles from the US's top-rated Clearwater Beach enjoying the typical Florida lifestyle of fishing, camping, boating and beachcombing. When he was old enough to breakaway from the Florida coastline he found himself bouncing around the Caribbean from Mexico to the Lesser Antilles in search of crystalline turquoise water several times a year. The sea was always calling him. In 2009, Joe had the opportunity to captain a sailing vessel in a club race and was hooked immediately. In the last 10+ years, he has raced sailboats ranging from 21-feet to 52-feet. Joe says, “The ability to harness wind and wave to get to a destination without the means of mechanical propulsion is intoxicating and rewarding.” He now holds his USCG 100-ton master license with sailing and towing endorsement and his BVI Boatmaster in addition to his STCW, CPR, and first aid certifications.

Always the life of the party, Joe's infectious laugh can be heard across the room! With the perfect balance of comedic relief and professionalism, it was 2005 when Joe’s wife Mandy first noticed Joe at work because of his ability to lead his staff with high spirits in the most stressful situations. Within a few months, they took their first trip together to Puerto Rico, unknowing what path was laid out for them. Scuba diving (both are certified open-water divers), sailing, and land exploration took them from Alaska to Europe, South America to the South Pacific, but most frequently to Florida's backyard, the Caribbean. Since music and food are a universal language, you can find Joe and Mandy on the dance floor, at a communal table, or around an acoustic guitarist making conversation with others. To them, the most rewarding part of travel is the people met along the way which turn into life-long friendships.

After years of traveling throughout the Virgin Islands, they married on St. Thomas in 2013. On a 2015 vacation to the British Virgin Islands, Joe and Mandy met a fellow sailor, and the idea hatched of pursuing their own sailing adventure full time. The corporate grind of deadlines and politics was about to be behind them, as Joe and Mandy sold everything, quit their jobs, took command of Kuma Too, and never looked back. They have sailed Kuma Too over 15,000 nautical miles throughout Florida, the Bahamas, Atlantic Ocean, and Caribbean Sea and the meter is still running.

Offering sailing charters along the West Coast of Florida, Joe and Mandy's love of hosting guests on board Kuma Too grew, and they were ready for the next step. For their 3rd charter season, they headed south to the Virgin Islands! Joe enjoys sharing his love of the sea and sailing with guests, and Mandy looks forward to sharing her love of cuisine!

Growing up landlocked, Mandy has always had an adventurous soul from rock climbing to skydiving and with dreams of traveling the world, even as a child. She began scuba diving with her dad at age 15 which unlocked a whole new world of travel and cuisine! On every trip, she tried new dishes and flavors which would eventually shape her own culinary skills. Bringing global influences into her dishes, Mandy most enjoys creating unique sauces and seasonings. Although Joe is the Captain of Kuma Too, Mandy holds her OUPV Captain's License, STCW, CPR, and first aid certifications as well and is fully competent in safely handling their 47-foot floating home.

With 15 years in general aviation, both Joe and Mandy have traveled around the US for work, but the Caribbean kept calling. Their unique backgrounds with private and corporate aircraft included not only handling mechanical and fueling matters but also providing superior customer service to affluent passengers. They both have extensive experience coordinating major events at airports along the East Coast such as Nascar, NFL, MLB, NBA, and PGA championship games and yacht shows. Their organized manner and ability to multitask while placing safety above all else was developed over those years but is now a key element for their success in providing a personalized dream sailing vacation aboard Kuma Too.

KUMA TOO GUESTS COMMENTS

July 2020

We've been to the Virgin Islands many times and this, by far, is the best way to see it all! The BVI's borders were closed due to COVID but we loved every minute of the USVI. Our favorites included the airplanes at Brewers Bay, the beauty of Magen's Bay and Chuckles, the snorkeling off of Congo Key, the turtles and stingrays at Maho Bay, meeting up with family and friends at Waterlemon, the quietness of Lameshur, the party at Lime Out, and all the boats at Christmas Cove!

Joe - thanks for all the fun times and great experiences. Thanks for playing with the kids and taking them tubing for hours.
Mandy - thanks for all the yummy food and delicious drinks of the day!

We promise to be back again! Love, Josh, Meg, Matt, Ben, and Drew

Additional comments on your charter?
This was an amazing vacation! My husband and I didn’t lift a finger. The kids had a blast with all the water activities (floats, tubing, kneeboarding, paddle boarding & kayaking) and Josh & I were able to sit back and relax. We didn’t worry about cooking or cleaning up for any meals. Mandy provides ample snacks for my “growing” boys and did all of it with a smile on her face... even at 6am with my little one. Joe didn’t let our drinks hit the bottom and were the best “boat driver”. He found great snorkeling spots with a variety of marine life and colorful coral. Joe and Mandy have great communication and made our trip seamless. They even helped celebrate our anniversary and one of the boys birthdays. I appreciated all their efforts and we were super impressed. This boat is their home and they take great care of it.

We just returned from a spectacular week sailing with Joe and Mandy. There are not enough superlatives to describe our week with them. They were both so accommodating to our every need and want. The meals were first class and plentiful. Snacks were tasty. Joe was a great bartender, especially painkillers and bushwackers💜. Our itinerary was spot on and the made every attempt for us to see exactly what we asked for and exceeded it! Mandy’s cooking skills in the tiny kitchen was truly amazing! Thank you so much Mandy and Joe. This was a top-rated vacation and we hope to see you again.

We were not aboard long before it was obvious we could rely on Joe & Mandy's knowledge and professionalism to take us on a tour of a lifetime through the beautiful secrets held by the USVI and BVI. Aside from their gregarious and welcoming nature, Joe & Mandy created made-from-scratch culinary delights for every meal. We had no desire to eat onshore as we looked forward to the next surprise Mandy had in store for us. We were very happy to have paid for full board. We enjoyed getting in the water in the quiet coves we found each night. The colors, aromas, and sea breezes delighted 24/7. It was easy to forget we were actually guests in their home as they were constantly attending to every need of their guests. We are staying in the USVI another week, but wish we could stay on the boat with Mandy & Joe.
-Bill & Sue

Everything on board was awesome. Food was outstanding & they exceeded my expectations with dealing with our food allergies. Enjoyed the snorkeling & island hopping. Joe & Mandy did a great job in pointing out the highlights not to miss on land & in the water. Snorkeling @ the Indians was awesome. It's been awesome to have Mandy & Joe share their home. Their hospitality exceeded our expectations.
-Rich & Kathy

Favorite memory/recommendation: snorkeling @ the Indians. Mandy & Joe, the great food, etc. I wouldn't change a thing! Awesome boat, owners, itinerary & weather- Thanks, Mandy & Joe for making our vacation the best. We loved everything about this trip. Great boat, crew, meals, weather, etc! We can't wait to return.
