A special person has left us. Very few knew and loved the waters of the VI like Capt John. Our trips on Palm Tree Charters have been some of the best moments in the islands. Capt John was the reason why!

A very special man. Loved him from the moment I met him. We talked (messaged) each other frequently. The last message I got from him was 2 weeks ago. He will be missed by many.


Love sailing the BVI's with friends.

We love Capt. John. Too many memories to detail, we've been in tears today. He's one of our friends that pushed me into sailing. It was always fun to have him do a morning drive by in our favorite Leinster Bay anchorage. Miss you brother.

Cheers, RickG

A great guy who will be missed by many. Like Rick it always put a smile on my face when I got to see John and share a Presidente with him.

He was very active on youtube. He made videos of many of his day boat trips. He was so popular that it got to be hard to book a day with him. #1 on Tripadvisor.

I had the pleasure of meeting Capt. John at Soggy Dollar one day. We were there on a Sea and Ski boat anchored stern to the beach and he pulled in right next to us. I was in the water at the rear of my boat and offered to set his stern anchor for him. After his guests went off to Soggy I had a great hour long conversation with the man. I could tell from that short time that he was a great person. I'm sad for his family and friends. My condolences to all whose lives he touched.
