Meet Tim
Captain Tim brings a unique blend of adventure, experience, and island hospitality to every charter aboard Get Along.
Originally from St. Louis, Missouri — far from the sea but full of curiosity — Tim began his career as a chef, working in kitchens and aboard vessels around the world. His passion for the ocean truly took hold during three years with National Geographic’s expedition ships, sailing the coasts of North and Central America. That journey led him to the Virgin Islands, where he fell in love with the vibrant culture, community, and turquoise waters of St. Thomas.
Over the years, Tim has captained yachts throughout the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Lesser Antilles, discovering hidden coves and local favorites few ever see. He holds a USCG Master’s License and STCW 95 certification, with over 3,000 days at sea.
Tim prides himself on creating a relaxed, personalized experience for every guest. He’s not one for rigid itineraries — he reads the vibe of each day and tailors the adventure accordingly. Whether it’s secluded beaches, world-class snorkeling, a quiet sunset, or legendary beach bars, he knows just where to go.
Known for his easygoing leadership, a knack for great cocktails, and the occasional guitar session at sunset, Captain Tim is here to make your time aboard Get Along everything you’ve dreamed of in a Caribbean getaway.
Meet Jessica
Your Friendly Galley Guide and Fearless Food Lover
Originally from South Africa, Chef Jessica brings a warm, easygoing spirit to life aboard Get Along, along with a genuine love for cooking and making people feel at home.
Her passion for food began in her family kitchen, learning from her mother the joy of creating simple, heartfelt meals that bring people together. With a background in hospitality and years in guest-oriented roles, Jessica found her perfect fit in charter yachting — where she combines her love of cooking, travel, and connecting with people from all walks of life.
Now based in the Caribbean, she enjoys using fresh, local ingredients to craft approachable, flavorful dishes that reflect the relaxed rhythm of island life. Her cooking is unfussy yet thoughtful — colorful salads, grilled seafood, and tropical flavors served with care and creativity.
Whether she’s chatting over morning coffee, accommodating special requests, or serving dinner under the stars, Jessica’s warm hospitality ensures every guest feels right at home. When she’s not in the galley, she’s likely snorkeling, paddleboarding, or exploring local markets for fresh inspiration.

The result is an atmosphere that’s easygoing, personal, and full of life — the kind of charter where guests can truly unwind, laugh often, and soak in the best of the Virgin Islands.
