Barefoot Cowboy comes with a third crew member — Pirate Pete, the ship's resident terrier. Captain Roy and Chef Natalie, a warm and easygoing couple, bring a refreshingly straightforward all-American vibe: cold beers, meat-and-cheese tapas, and every kind of floating lounge chair you could want. It's a genuinely relaxed, homey charter with personal touches throughout.

Reviews
Everything from ID’ing fish to answering questions about the various areas we visited to recipe questions…. There was nothing they didn’t know! We truly enjoyed getting to know them and we trusted everything they had to say, from restaurant options down to changing course because of the rough seas and winds.
We wanted for nothing all week. Emily and I felt a tad strange not helping with cleaning up… and it felt a little weird to be catered to when we are all used to doing everything on our own. That isn’t necessarily a negative!! Ha! Just took some getting used to!!!
At no time did we feel like we were not in good hands.
WE LOVED NATALIE’S FOOD. I think we would have done ALL meals on the boat had that been an option. I loved her food so much, that I looked through her cookbook and took pics of recipes!!! We told her we ate a LOT, and she nailed it!!
We did not want to leave and we are already trying to figure out when we could come back! Doing this trip with family was amazing. The kids get along so well. No one ever got bored. No snippy bickering. We truly got to relax and decompress from work, school, and sports. It was the perfect vacation!!!
Our most memorable highlight was the “Highs and Lows” discussion at the end of the day with everyone. What a special way to cement the memories made that day and hear what everyone else thought about their day!! We are grateful to Capt. Roy Pat and Natalie for introducing us to that little end-of-day discussion idea!!! Of course, the food, snorkeling, diving, laughs, island hopping, sunburns, sleeping in the beanbags, reading in the shade, fun conversations, etc…. Soooo many things made the highlight reel in our minds!!
Natalie
Take care,
Emily & Justin
Captain Roy Pat was phenomenal-navigating us to all the best spots throughout the Virgin Islands with such expertise - every day felt like a new adventure. Chef Natalie absolutely blew us away with every single meal. You could truly taste the heart and soul she put into her cooking. My personal favorites? The perfectly cooked filet mignon for dinner and the fresh, flavorful chicken avocado salad for lunch-both were out of this world!
And Pete... what can I say? He's the sweetest little pirate out there and totally stole our hearts.
This was our first trip to the Virgin Islands, and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction. We loved every stop-Willy T's, Cooper Island, everything about Jost Van Dyke, and the beauty of St. John. Every day brought something new and unforgettable.
We're already counting down the days until we can return for more sailing, more sunshine, and more amazing memories!
Lori
This was an absolute trip of a lifetime for us!! We loved every single second of our time on the boat and on the islands!!
