Joseph is excited to take you to the most incredible spots in the Caribbean on your charter. He is more than happy to teach guests anything they want to know about boating while sharing his passion for the sea. Joseph also enjoys staying active and can show you his favorite trails and snorkeling spots if that interests you. To top off an exciting day of activities, he would be delighted to make you your favorite cocktail as you relax and enjoy an amazing sunset. Whatever type of charter you fancy, Joseph will make it happen.

Reviews

Painted Pelican
Exceeded Expectations
Our charter exceeded our expectations in every area - I had a list of places and I wanted to see and things I wanted to do and Captain James made sure every box was checked! He was professional, hospitable, and fun to be around! In addition, Chef Julia created the most amazing meals every single day! The food was outstanding - so much so we cancelled some reservations and opted to eat on the boat instead because her meals were DIVINE! Our boat was beautiful and spacious. We could not have asked for anything more!

Great job James and Julia. Thank you, Raul
Painted Pelican
Bucket List Items
This was a bucket list for us. We expected it to be fun but it totally was absolutely a wonderful and extremely awesome trip. Our captain James and Chef Julia made it just perfect. They were always attentive and constantly making sure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious and over the top beautiful. James was the best captain ever. If you decide to take a trip of a lifetime please ask for James and Julia and by all means do it with Marine Max. No hidden charges and we were told upfront how everything would be. I can’t brag enough on this beautiful vessel and wonderful team. James and Julia … you are the best out there! Lots of laughs and fun.

Trip of a lifetime!
We completed a trip of a lifetime on March 3, 2024. We rented an Aquila 545 from Marine Max complete with Captain James & Chef Julia and toured the BVI’s. I can’t express how special this bucket list trip was. The food was amazing and Chef Julia just raised the bar everyday of our trip. We wanted for nothing and both crew members made this trip special for all 6 of us. The boat was the perfect size for 6 people and Captain James was amazing as well. I highly recommend booking a charter with the two of them. You won’t be disappointed and to us this was a 10 star review!! 😎
Painted Pelican
Loved every minute!
The 7 days on Painted Pelican were perfect, loved every minute of it. Captain James and Chef Christina were amazing.
I truly did not know what to expect and was so happy with everything.
Looking forward to going again in the future…
Thanks for your help!
Painted Pelican
EPIC!
The trip was EPIC!

James and Julia were fantastic, and I couldn't provide enough praise for them if I tried.

Expectations were exceeded, and we will definitely be doing another trip in the future.
