Captain Lars Lindstrom
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Lars first fell in love with sailing at age 9 during a summer sailing camp on local lakes. His early passion quickly grew into leadership, eventually becoming head counselor at the same camp. After college, Lars settled in Austin, Texas, where he spent seven years working in engineering—until the sailing itch returned.

In 2012, a friend (quite easily) convinced him to buy his first bluewater sailboat in Florida. He used every vacation day exploring the Bahamas before committing to a full year-long sailing sabbatical. That journey took Lars and 34 friends island-hopping the entire Caribbean chain, from Florida to Trinidad and back, aboard a 39ft Beneteau.

Returning home, he realized desk life was no longer for him. He shifted gears and joined the professional yachting world, working as a watch leader and engineer on 100ft+ performance sailing yachts. Over the next eight years, Lars sailed extensively across the Pacific, Caribbean, and Mediterranean.

Ultimately, Lars missed the freedom and intimacy of smaller boats. Together with his partner, Jasmine, he returned to the Caribbean to run sailing charters—sharing his love for adventure and life under sail. A sailor at heart, he never misses a chance to hoist the sails and shut off the engines.

Most recently, Lars and Jasmine joined a catamaran specializing in kiteboarding and wingfoiling charters. Always up for adventure, Lars can be found teaching guests how to harness the wind—or out enjoying the breeze himself whenever conditions are right.




Chef Jasmine “Jaz” Johnson
Jasmine—known to most as “Jaz”—grew up a true East Coast baby: born in Pennsylvania, raised in Baltimore and North Carolina, and eventually joining her family in Florida. She studied exercise physiology and nutrition before moving to New York City to pursue a career in fitness. After a decade in the city, she discovered a deeper passion for travel and wellness, eventually teaching yoga around the world and opening her own studio in Key West.

From a young age, Jaz was immersed in life on the water—diving and fishing with her dad, and later learning to sail Hobie Cats with her mom in the harbors of Key West. The yachting world offered a perfect blend of her eclectic skills and passions: from hospitality and craft cocktails to her lifelong connection with the sea.

After rising to the role of Chief Stewardess on both motor and sailing yachts, Jaz made a creative leap into the galley, completing French culinary training to pursue her love of cooking professionally. Her cuisine draws inspiration from global travel, fresh local ingredients, and the nostalgic dishes of her childhood spent cooking with family.

With her warm energy, adventurous spirit, and dynamic background, Chef Jaz brings an unforgettable blend of flavor, soul, and style to every charter.
