Crew Profiles:
Joseph and Britta grew up a world apart but ended up finding each other and true love in the beautiful Virgin Islands. He grew up on a small family farm in the Pacific Northwest and she grew up with her toes in the sand on the white sandy beaches of Florida. Before moving to the Caribbean, Joseph received degrees the Culinary Arts and Patisserie and Baking from Western Culinary Institute in Portland Oregon. In 2009, he packed his bags for the islands where he immediately bought and resided on his new boat in the Virgin Islands. Britta came to St Croix as a PADI dive instructor in 2005. She worked in local dive shops and in the hospitality industry while taking advantage of the best scuba diving in the Caribbean. She honed in her skills as being one of the premier dive guides and instructors while living in St Croix. While the couple lived in St John Britta spent time aboard a 36′ Pearson- “Kiote” offering day sailing excursions the shallow reefs that fringe the East end of the island. Her love of all things underwater is apparent by her enthusiasm to share her discoveries of animal and plant life while on your water adventures! Whether you’re a beginner snorkeler or advanced scuba diver, her knowledge and expertise always deliver an amazing custom-designed experience for everyone.
Before embarking on the New Luxury Catamaran “Grace”, Joseph and Britta were on the 50ft Catamaran “Dianna Rose” for 3 years and worked in tandem, perfecting a concierge experience with world-class cuisine and custom-tailored scuba and snorkel adventures for all levels. Proud to partner with the Virgin Island community, Joseph and Britta take a lot of pride in buying local. These key relationships with farmers and fisherman have elevated their status as having the freshest ingredients on board at all times and have been a key to their success. Prior to “Dianna Rose”, Joseph spent 5 years aboard 120′ Broward Motor Yacht “Freedom” as chef perfecting the art of fine cuisine adapting the premiere culinary French ideology of “Mise en Place” within the luxury yachting experience.
Our extensively trained dynamic duo, Captain/Chef – Joseph and his First Mate/Dive Instructor/Mermaid – Britta is excited to take you away on a beautiful journey aboard “Grace”.

Aileen, December 2018Joseph and Britta were phenomenal. Everything was very well kept. We miss the breezes already. The food was beyond compare. It was like sailing with a Michelin starred Chef. We loved the BVI’s and loved the Baths.
Marc, Jara, Emily, Steve, Amy & Mark, March 2018The Dianna Rose was the best vacation EVER. We can’t thank you enough for the unmatched hospitality and food. Everything exceeded our expectations. We dined like royalty and drank like rock stars. It was such a memorable experience to swim with wild dolphins. Thank you for sharing your passions with us. The snorkelling was amazing! You will forever be remembered with much love in our hearts and minds as Mermaid Britta & Captain Commando.
See you next time on the intoxicator!
Drew & Ellen, March 2018What a wonderful week! Your care and attention to our vacation is greatly appreciated – you truly anticipated our every request!! We wish you safe travels this next year… and we look forward to another great adventure in 2019!! Come see us in DC!
Janet & Glenn, March 2018Thank you for the most wonderful and amazing week. Words can’t fully express our appreciation of everything you did to make it the best week ever – the snorkelling, diving, paddle boarding, and just relaxing were amazing – and a great hike too – to see the most beautiful view in the world! The food was beyond words – Joseph your are an amazing and gifted chef! And having Zoe on board as the C.M.O. was so fun. Britta – you are so great at making everything go smoothly and anticipating our needs. We can’t wait to spend another week with you next year. Thanks for everything it was us who received the pleasure this week!
John & Kim, March 2018This is our second time aboard and you once again exceeded our expectations. Joseph did a masterful job planning our week, finding spectacular locations in spite of some challenging seas. The food, of course, was the best in the Caribbean and I once again leave baffled on how you manage to pull these amazing multi-course meals together (all from scratch), with such ease. The highlight for me this week was the three discovery dives with Britta. I was so comfortable and relaxed through all three dives and I know it was due to Britta’s presence. She also, along with Zoey, made sure our every need was taken care of along the way. We are sad to leave but excited to come back. Memorial Day 2019 baby!
Kim, March 2018Thank you both for another amazing week – our expectations were exceeded again! It was a week filled with fun, laughter, beautiful views, amazing food & drinks! the two of you make everyone feel so comfortable and take care of every need possible. Thanks for the pumpkin butterscotch muffins Joseph – so delicious! We look forward to seeing you again and let us know if you make it to Virginia – we would love to see you! Thanks again!
