Island Hoppin' 55

Crew Profile

Born and raised in Jupiter, Florida, Bryan's love for the ocean runs deep. As a teenager, he spent countless hours diving, exploring the underwater world. After a few years in the hospitality industry, he yearned for something more. At 21, he took a leap of faith, joining a charter boat crew in St. Croix, USVI.

Over the past 3+ years, Bryan has honed his skills as a captain, navigating the Caribbean seas with ease. His laid-back demeanor and infectious enthusiasm create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on board. Whether it's shark diving, sailing, or simply soaking up the sun, Bryan's adventurous spirit ensures that every charter is a unique experience. His commitment to providing exceptional service is evident in the countless positive reviews from satisfied guests.


Patti grew up in Jupiter, Florida where she worked in the hospitality industry for several years at numerous restaurants in the south Florida area. In 2016 she met Bryan at a beach party and they immediately hit it off, spending the next several years traveling all throughout the states and even lived on St.Croix in the USVI for a year. They eventually were offered a dream job in 2020 on a charter catamaran in the USVI, and have worked in tandem since then. Patti enjoys cooking all kinds of cuisines and can easily work around any dietary restrictions one might have. On her off time she enjoys going to the beach to read a book or paddle board and also finds happiness in finding new recipes to try out for future guests.
