TWO OCEANS – Winter Yacht Charter

Captain: Jason Collier

Captain Jason

With over three decades of maritime experience and a deep passion for the sea, Captain Jason brings a steady hand, a warm personality, and a guest-focused mindset to every charter. Originally from Hanover County, Virginia, Jason’s love for the water began in the Chesapeake Bay and Outer Banks, fishing with his family as a teen. That connection only grew stronger during his service in the U.S. Navy, where he served as assistant to the navigator aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Jason’s diverse professional journey—ranging from Navy navigation to seafood entrepreneurship and a successful real estate career—has given him a unique edge when it comes to leadership, hospitality, and problem-solving. But it was his deep-seated dream of becoming a full-time captain that led him to the Virgin Islands, where he now delivers unforgettable experiences on the water.

Since making the career switch, Jason has logged thousands of nautical miles across the USVI, BVI, Bahamas, and Florida Keys as captain aboard luxury catamarans such as numerous Bali 5.4's and Lagoon 56's. Whether navigating customs, leading snorkel excursions, maintaining complex onboard systems, or helping serve dinner, Jason is a true team player who prioritizes guest safety, comfort, and enjoyment at every turn.

Holding a USCG 100GT Master’s License with sailing endorsement, STCW, ENG1, and CPR certification, Jason also brings strong mechanical and technical knowledge to every vessel he commands. He’s equally comfortable at the helm, on the swim platform helping guests into snorkel gear, or setting the tone for a relaxed and fun onboard atmosphere.

Above all, Jason’s goal is to make each guest feel at home on the water, creating space for lifelong memories and a deep appreciation for the islands he now calls home.
