Crew Profiles
Capt. Jonny Rorech
Born and raised on the Atlantic seaboard of the US, Capt. Johnny has always had a fascination with sailing, pirates, and all things nautical. His dream of sailing grew out of seeing his uncle skipper a boat for over 30 years in the Bahamas and Virgin Islands. The fond memories of his Uncle always returning on home on his motorcycle, with a deep dan and a different bohemian blonds on his arm, inspired Johnny to take up sailing professionally. As a long-time nomadic filmmaker and underwater astronaut, Capt. J. Blue has spent the last 7 years working and traveling around South East Asia, immersing himself in new cultures and always ready to try new things. Formerly, an entrepreneur, Capt. Johnny Blue has now ventured into the deep blue unknown, traveling where the wind takes him and seeking new adventures on the horizon.
Cutting his teeth in the sailing industry, while living and working in Phuket, Thailand, Johnny instructed others on this passion, while simultaneously running charters on various catamarans and monohulls, in the beautiful and breathtaking Phang Gna Bay in the Andaman Sea. After 3 year working in Phuket as a captain in Phuket, Johnny decided to take a stint in the Mediterranean, captaining a 49’ sailboat throughout the quintessentially Greek islands of the Dodecanese. Following a season there, Johnny delivered a Bali 5.4 across the Atlantic during peak hurricane season, before coming to the Caribbean to work for a company is the USVI’s. This is now his 2nd season in the Virgins Islands, and he is looking forward to many more to come. He continues to be passionate about teaching sailing to anyone that wants to learn and documenting the wonders of traveling through his educational YouTube travel channel.
Chef Joseph
When he’s not whipping up world-class meals in the galley, Chef Joseph is catching waves, chasing sunsets, and plotting a course to the next great adventure. As the boat’s chef and first mate, he’s the flavor behind the fun—serving up globally inspired cuisine with a side of salty sea breeze.
With over 24 years of culinary experience, Joseph has honed his craft in prestigious kitchens around the world—from California and Germany to Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and the Caribbean. He’s worked alongside award-winning chefs, served as a private chef for A-list actors, and was most recently featured at Alaska Boardwalk Lodge. His dishes reflect the places he sails—fresh dorado grilled off the coast of Spain, sea bass with Mediterranean herbs, or tropical desserts that taste like home wherever you drop anchor.
With a knife in one hand and a compass in the other, Joseph brings skill, soul, and a little spice to every voyage. His creativity isn’t limited to the galley—he’s an avid surfer, fisherman, musician, and skateboarder. And above all, he’s a proud father to his daughter Skye, whose spirit inspires everything he does.
From snorkeling turquoise coves to navigating through stormy skies, Joseph lives by one motto:
“Travel far, eat well, and never forget dessert.”
