Crew Information
Captain: Michael Wilson
We are a Captain/Chef duo from the US who are coming off our fourth season working as a team in both the Mediterranean and the Virgin Islands. We met in the summer 2019 in Croatia and then moved to the Virgin Islands for the 2019-2022 seasons. Here is a little bit about each of us!

He graduated from TCU with a Masters of Accounting and Bachelors in Finance and worked in Oil & Gas in Houston. After working in the corporate world for five years, he decided to make a change and enjoy the outdoors through sailing as a career! He fell in love with sailing while in the BVIs and Southern Caribbean and then completed his RYA Yachtmaster in the UK in 2018. He started off his sailing career in the Mediterranean and now calls the Caribbean home. He also loves the underwater world and got his Divemaster in Cozumel and then his Instructor License in Roatan.

Casey, born and raised in Florida, has always been happiest when on the water. After specializing in hospitality and event management at the University of Florida, she worked at luxury, all-inclusive golf resorts before transitioning into residential real estate. After years of the work grind, she decided adventure was waiting for her. She left behind the “norm” and caught the travel bug - bad! Before deciding to call the Caribbean home, she was a nomad traveling the world experiencing the kindness of strangers, new cultures and all things food!
She is a foodie through and through and her passion for food began at a young age always cooking and baking with her mom in the kitchen. She loves incorporating all different cuisines and focuses on cooking fresh and healthy dishes incorporating local delicacies with the freshest produce. She has been a yacht chef and hostess in the Mediterranean and Caribbean . Last year she attended Ashburton Culinary School Yacht Chef Program in England to hone her skills!
While onboard with Michael and Casey, guests will be encouraged to visit the “must see’s” but also to get off the grid and experience the beauty and nature that the Virgins Islands have to offer. They are excited to continue providing unforgettable experiences around these beautiful islands. They also love helping the guests capture priceless moments with their Drone, DSLR, GoPro, and Polaroid Camera.

Reviews
It’s hard to let down from day to day stress at the beginning of a vacation, but aboard the Liquid Zen we felt we were unwinding right away. Michael is an extremely competent captain. We knew at all times that he could handle waves, weather and maneuvering around other boats. Casey is an extraordinary chef. Every meal was healthy and delicious as well as unique. The presentation was gorgeous and creative. The table was always imaginatively set with the theme of the meal. We had 2 children with us who can be hard to please but Casey nailed it with the food every time.
Michael and Casey helped us learn more about snorkeling and where to swim to see the best of the area we were in. Each cay or cove we went to offered something different from the last. It was great to be able to paddle board at some spots, snorkel at some, hike and take the dingy to the beach at others. This was truly a vacation to remember. Members of our family commented more than once about this being their best vacation ever! We are so glad we chose the Liquid Zen for our trip. One of the reasons we did is because of the web site that featured the yacht and Michael and Casey. The pictures they posted and descriptions made all the difference.
We would recommend to everyone that if they are planning a yacht trip in the Virgin Islands to book with Michael and Casey. They are simply the best hosts you could have.
- Jo
We will be forever grateful for the amazing memories you helped us make over the last week. This experience was hands down the best family vacation one could ask for. There was no detail left out. The views and food were perfect! Thank you so much for being a part of our family the past week. Can't wait to do it all over again, hopefully sooner than later! Until then I wish you the best in all your next adventures.
-Marlo, Ian, Stella & Lola
Thank you for making our time aboard the Liquid Zen such a memorable experience. No detail was overlooked. We always felt safe and secure with Michael at the helm. The boat is beautifully appointed and comfortable. Chef Casey's meals were as beautiful as they were delicious. The cuisine added much to our experience. Thanks for the memories and good times...an unforgettable experience!
- Rick Weston
Wishing you both a very relaxing offseason, safe travels, and precious time with your families!
- Laurie & Stephen
Thank you for the perfect 25th anniversary trip! Both of you made the whole experience far beyond our dreams! Casey, we don't want 'french trained' cuisine ever, we just want your amazing 'Chiefdom'!! :) Captain, my Captain - Michael what an amazing leader and host you are! Thank you so much for your patience with my scuba anxiety and your tolerance for our husbands! We cannot thank you enough for all you did this week!
We will miss you both!
-Laura & Joe
Thanks again and see you soon!
- Kris
Thank you for the best vacation! Not everyone gets to experience what we did this week! We were able to make some great family memories together. Casey, your skills in the kitchen left a huge impression on my family. Your food will be talked about often, they will look forward to the next trip. I am appreciative of your patience and kindness, teens can at times be a challenge. Michael, you are a wonderful host. You were attentive and accommodating to my family. Your calm presence made us all feel welcome. We are all looking forward to the next trip.

Casey - your cooking and presentation were fabulous! You were gracious, kind, and fun host. Michael - you are a seamless, skilled Captain. Your local knowledge and expertise made for a safe and relaxing experience. Cannot wait to see the drone videos! Every experience in life comes down to the people you share it with. You guys were a true complement to our group of friends. Good luck in all your future endeavors. We hope to see you again!"

"Please accept our sincerest thanks for an amazing week aboard Liquid Zen! Michael, thank you for your command of the week, your superb itinerary, your expert seamanship, and harassing Carmel so we didn't have to. Casey, thank you for your sunny disposition and your culinary expertise. Your food was delicious and healthy at the same time. I hope you aren't disappointed that we didn't eat until we exploded, but we came close :) This week we will never forget. We wish you much success in the future and hope to someday see you again on the water or in Vail. Hugs to you both."

"What a treasure it was to be a part of your Liquid Zen world for a week. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this the best week ever!! It is hard to pick a favorite day/memory from the week. The sunset hike, the "icing", the scuba diving, the FOOD, the drinks, pineapple card game, the night time snorkeling, will all be in our hearts forever. Your attention to detail is so impressive. The two of you make the best team and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Grant is already plotting the next boat trip to the BVIS, but we all agree we couldn't do it with anyone but the two of you! Take care and be safe, and we hope our paths cross again!"

To Casey: no words other than wow - this trip was filled with the most amazing food and really not sure how I can go back to reality at this point (lol) Thank You! To Michael: Thanks for being such a fun Captain despite our plot to lose the dinghy. Also thanks for initiating Brad into the family by icing him upon arrival. We won't forget these things along with all the other great memories!
We had such a great time hanging out with you both, and feel like we are leaving with two new friends. It's been an unforgettable trip & we can't wait to do it again! (maybe we'll even let our parents join next time haha). Cheers! Love Mollie, Hastings, Emily & Brad

"What a fantastic week...and unexpected given the inauspicious start having our originally planned vacation canceled the morning of our flights. As it turned out, we were lucky. This past week was better than expected - good time with great friends, of course, but with a nicer boat and (I'm sure) a better crew. You two were great, organizing a fantastic itinerary with unexpected surprises - After Irma concert, massages, Lime Out, Zozos...and what wonderful food!!! Thank You!" - Heather and Lou
"We have lost ourselves in the moment of "today is today." I am hard pressed to think of another time in the last two years when I have felt so relaxed and carefree and slowed down. This was all possible because the two of you made things so easy, comfortable, and your knowledge of the islands and what you knew we would enjoy. There were too many highlights to pick out just one, but what I will remember the most is the belly laughs with the two of you and all our friends. Thank you for absolutely everything!" - Christine & Rob
Love Todd & RJ"
"Thank you for everything! We travel a lot and this trip has been one of our favorites. We will be recommending you to all our friends.
Love and best wishes Angie & Clint"
"Thank you so much for everything! This trip has been one of the best i've ever been on. Thanks for all the fun :)
Love Nicole & Nay"
Thank you for giving us a week full of experiences and memories that we will remember for a lifetime! From the food that was out of this world, to teaching Shane and Travis to scuba dive, and even showing us the ropes of sailing, we've had the most unforgettable week island hopping around the Virgin Islands!
Both of you have shown unbelievable kindness, grace, patience, wisdom, joy, laughter, and love to not only our family, but to each other! Each of you are truly an inspiration to us and everyone you encounter! Thank you for being such a highlight on our trip and welcoming us to your home with open arms. We hope you have an amazing 2022!
Love, The Cristiano Family"

Senior Spring Break – March 2021
‘Everything about this trip was absolutely perfect. Michael & Casey clearly love what they do and their passion shows. After a number of boat trips, this is my all time favorite and we will be back!’ – Monica
‘Thanks for the unforgettable week. Best trip we’ve ever had! Next time you’re in Rains look us up.’ – TA
‘Thanks for the perfect trip for us Newbies! The food and adventures – we will never forget. The attention to detail was on point! Can’t wait to sail with you guys again and thanks for making us “seniors” feel young again ’ – Angie
‘Thank you for an amazing week on the sea and in the sun! Top notch crew, my favorite yet, that didn’t miss a thing. I appreciate your attention to detail and how you went above and beyond on the menu and taking us to places we hadn’t been. You will be missed and y’all make us want to come back!’ - Stacey and Big Nate
"We've traveled all over the world and this has to be our favorite vacation so far! Thank you for taking such good care of us! Michael was a great Captain from working the sails to navigating the dinghy in the dark. Casey - the meals, snacks, and drinks were way beyond our expectations - every meal was the "BEST MEAL" (seriously create a cookbook and make some side $$!!). Our trip has ended much too soon - let us know where you are in a year so we can book another charter with you! If you're ever in Atlanta, you have a place to stay so give us a call (same with Nashville! Come see us & we will take you to Broadway :)). God Bless you in all your adventures!"
-The Grimes, Greg, Melissa, Conner, & Kristen Duluth, GA
Thank you for an amazing vacation. From snorkeling to fishing to hiking, you helped us create so many fun memories! Not to mention a super fun New Years Eve celebration and extra-special triple birthday party! The food was absolutely spectacular, so delicious and thoughtful. We loved seeing the kids try (and enjoy!) so many new things. We had a blast, thanks again! Until next time --
The Kinneys and Lily & Cole
"Thank you so much for guiding our Virgin Islands Adventure. Everything was fantastic! We loved all of the locations we visited and all of Casey's cooking was amazing. I think our group especially liked the sea turtles in Maho Bay and the Eagle Rays in Christmas Cove. We all really appreciate the experience you provided. We certainly will not forget it. Thank you!
Thank you for all the things you did to make our family sail an unforgettable adventure. We will never forget it! We appreciate it all.
This was a long anticipated trip, thanks for making our family time so free and easy! We appreciated your care and attention more than words can say. Lots of love from the Brodigan/Walter families!"
-Mike, Judy, Kelly, Mike ii, Joel, Grace, Jason, Misty
"Mason will never forget, or live down, night fishing in the National Park ;) Beyond that, the adventures we shared will be talked about (and laughed about) for the rest of our lives. Every time we play Pineapple and catch Ayden peeking at his cards we'll try to replicate the cold, hard stare Mike would cast his way haha. Some amazing first time experiences include swimming with sea turtles, hovering over eagle rays while listening to the band on the bow, and probably everyone's favorite fun activity was sub-winging off Great St. James. It felt wonderful to be exhausted at the end of a fun filled day and wake up to a delicious breakfast and read the Plan of the Day, knowing each day would be better than the next. After a rough year, this was the perfect way to celebrate our life together, and be thankful to have seen such a magical place. Your hospitality was amazing I hope to keep in touch over the years." With Love, The Tokarz
-Joseph, Sarah, Drew, Faith
"Thank you so much for creating all the wonderful Christmas memories. Everything has been amazing. Every morsel of food was the best. You both went above and beyond to make everything excellent. May you have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. May God show you his love and joy."

"What should we say...EVERYTHING was superb. Thanks for the great vacation! The food was so yummy, hikes, snorkeling, and boat time were on point. This is one of those vacays we would definitely do again. You guys are the best! Don't forget if you're ever in Dallas, you've got a place to stay."
