TEAM

Captain Dick Stuart, a mechanical engineer by training, enjoyed a successful career in construction sales management. He started his sailing career at the early age of 10 in an El Toro on Lafayette Reservoir in Northern California. Growing up, much of his time was spent sailing on San Francisco Bay and extensively bareboat chartering throughout the Caribbean.

He holds a 100 TON MASTERS WITH SAILING ENDORSEMENT, an FCC Marine Radio Operators Certification and a Dive Master Certification.

Captain Dick has an excellent reputation as “the troubleshooting ninja”, and uses his knowledge of mechanical systems to anticipate all the “what ifs.” Safety is Captain Dick’s priority for his guests, but FUN is his second! An adventure seeker and water lover, he moved to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico in 2017 and loves sailing the beautiful aquamarine waters and island hopping. Captain Dick welcomes all guests with his famous Captain’s Cocktails nightly! He is an avid cribbage player and will challenge the best!

Kim’s love for sailing began in 2012 when she first experienced a catamaran in the BVI. After completing sailing classes in Colorado and California, Kim captained several catamarans in Mexico and the Caribbean. She delights in creating the ultimate self-care venue for guests as the First Mate and Chef of Deep Blue!

Her background as an entrepreneurial healthcare consultant as well as a former ER and Critical Care RN gives her a diverse set of skills to adapt and customize your experience.

An avid traveler, Kim has a great sense of adventure. Her adventures have taken her bungee jumping in New Zealand, skiing in the European Alps, fly fishing in Montana and Utah, volunteering as a nurse in Ethiopia and Uganda, hiking in Patagonia, and Class V white water rafting in Colorado. A fitness and yoga instructor for over 30 years, she lives an active lifestyle in whatever location she may be. From her attention to detail to her carefully crafted meals and cocktails, Kim ensures your vacation far exceeds your expectations!

Nigel is part of the Ownership Team for Deep Blue.

His love of sailing started back in the sixties when his father, Victor, bought a 19 foot day boat called a Squib for them to sail at weekends in the Solent.

They spent thousands of happy hours cruising and racing around the Isle of Wight, Southampton water and the southernmost parts of England. One of Nigel’s great regrets is that Vic didn’t live long enough to enjoy sailing Deep Blue, which would have been a dream come true for him.

Nigel now lives in Denver with his family and is semi-retired. If you are interested in a charter on Deep Blue, he’ll be happy to tell you all about the boat, her crew, and the experience you’ll have.

My wife Gina and I had the opportunity to charter Deep Blue in January 2024.

Never experiencing a Catamaran Charter previously, this trip in January definitively changed our perspective with respect to a true vacation.

For the last two decades, we have been avid cruisers in conjunction with a few destination experiences.

We were so impressed with this brand new experience allowing life to decelerate, relax and take it all in to the point of inquiring with Captain Dick “Who owns this boat?, Are they interested in selling?”

Long story short this dream came to become reality. We couldn’t have partnered nor aligned with a better team! Deep Blue is a game changer in the arena of vacation getaways.

You will not be disappointed!
