Crew Information

Captain: Jage Martin

Captain Jage
Jage grew up in Scotland in the 70's and 80's. Having very mixed ancestry he inherited an insatiable passion for the unknown and adventure. He began traveling at the age of 15 by hitchhiking to France.
Drawn by the great mountains, oceans And peoples of the word he has travelled and worked in every continent since. Even taking an old VW van and driving from Europe to Australia through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Asia.

He has done many jobs from a lowly kitchen hand in the Greek islands to a ski guide in the French alps to qualified construction worker in Australia. Eventually putting down roots in the French alps and starting a construction business and a family, he pursued his dreams of becoming a sailor by qualifying as a captain in 2009 and buying his first yacht "Nomad".

He then took his young family to experience the wonders of this world by sail, voyaging all over the world including the Seychelles, Thailand, Greece, Turkey and the Caribbean. Settling for a while in Dominica and St Vincent and the Grenadines where he began working in the yachting industry. He is a commercially endorsed RYA Yachtmaster and Dive Master with a huge respect for our oceans and all life in them.

Loving the feeling and freedom of life on the water he likes nothing more than to share that passion with others. Very much a fun loving person he enjoys meeting new people from all walks of life and having a good laugh. He has clocked up over 35,000 logged miles including 3 ocean crossings most recently in November 2024.

He is also a qualified scuba Recue Diver, Marine Engineer, Electrician and Stone Mason (not much use on a yacht). He is fluent in English, French and also speaks Spanish. He is really looking forward to making sure you have a truly unforgettable vacation.

Chef Janine
Janine is an adventurer at heart, equally drawn to the land and sea. She grew up in the Eastern cape, South Africa, where she planned events for top South African bands and DJs. In her spare time, she could always be found on the beach, spearfishing along the Wild Coast, cooking fresh fish, crayfish, mussels or whatever she caught that day.
A former national representative for Drum Majorettes, Janine was also part of "Friends of the Bull" performing fire dancing for Red Bull - an experience that sharpened her ability to entertain.

She studied Banqueting Management, Customer Relations and Communications, receiving classical training with Blue Ribbon. Highly technical and hands-on, Janine has a logical mindset and a keen eye for detail.
Her passion for cooking and event planning stems from her large Irish family, many of whom have worked in the hospitality industry in various capacities.

In 2024 Janine moved to Cape Town and in 2023 she completed a 42-day transatlantic sail from Cape Town to the British Virgin Islands aboard a 59ft catamaran. She was introduced to yachting by her uncles and aunt, who have been in the industry, sparking her own love for the profession.

In her free time, Janine enjoys exploring, hiking, paddleboarding, creating art and playing the Ukelele. She takes pride in cooking wholesome food, infusing her African flavors into every dish she creates. Janine looks forward to expanding your culinary experience and looks forward to meeting you.

BAREFEET RETREAT

April 2025 - Wedding Charter

Jage and Janine - There are not enough words to express how much fun we had with you this week. You went above and beyond – attending our wedding & playing the Uke for my walk down the aisle, turning Sam into a mini bosun, playing liars dice many evenings, the list goes on…. We will cherish this trip for the rest of our lives and you two are a big part of that. Thank you for the laughs, the fun, the new experiences, and the memories. Thank you all for making our wedding week so special. We look forward to our paths crossing again one day (hopefully soon)! We will miss y’all dearly.”
- Cheers from your favorite piggies! Sam & Lauren

You both have been such a huge, integral part of our positive memories from this trip – it wouldn’t have been the same without you! Thank you for all that you did behind the scenes, I bet it is not easy but it doesn’t go unnoticed.

- Love yall, Meredith & Will
“Start to finish, top to bottom, can’t say enough to fully say how great you have made this trip. The excursions on Anegada and the Royal evening in Guana to the wedding, Meredith’s birthday, and walking Lauren down the “aisle” to the uke stylings of Janine. All unexpected and over the top. You both have made this week unforgettable in so many ways. Thank you for all you did. May our paths cross again!
- All the best! Steve and Kelly
“A special shout-out to Jage and Janine for making our experience unforgettable. As Jage said, “Leave only footprints – take away the memories.” We have followed his wisdom. Blessed to do this.”

Amazing Vacation

It was an amazing vacation. Jenn and Bree were great to sail with and took us to so many islands. Loved their suggestions on islands and things to do. The food on the yacht was five star. The snorkeling and paddle boarding and exploring all the beaches where are favorite. Yacht was very clean. Cabins were comfortable. There was enough areas with shade .The food was amazing. Such a variety. The food was 5 star. I felt it was very healthy also beautiful presentation. They did have some great signature drinks. Jenn and Bree were great. Professional but also so pleasant and friendly. Very knowledgeable and had great suggestions. Would love to sail with them again.

Special lifelong bond that cannot be forgotten

"Creating lifelong memories is a special treasure that so many of us take for granted until it is too late. However, the week we spent on Barefeet Retreat with Captain Jenn and Breezy Cooking will always hold a special place in our hearts and our entire group is excited to be back on the boat with them again in the future. When a trip ends with genuine hugs and tears, that sums up that not only did everyone very much enjoy themselves, but we all made a special lifelong bond that cannot be forgotten. First, Breezy Cooking’s cuisine and special beverages would rival any fine restaurant, however the hospitality from Jenn and Bree make the trip even more special. Let me tell you, these two ladies worked hard the entire trip to make everything perfect for us, but they always were enjoying themselves, had smiles on their faces and had this contagious positive view on life that continues to resonate with us. These two special ladies are making the world a better place purely from being in it and spreading their infectious positivity to everyone who is around them. The boat’s layout was perfect, the beds were comfortable, everything was immaculate and clean and with scenic background accompanied with our new found family in Jenn and Bree made for a perfect trip that we will never forget and hope to duplicate soon. " - Steve E.

BAREFEET RETREAT

The dynamic duo

Bree and Jen are like the dynamic duo. Their personalities and dedication to a great charter, I imagine will be hard to find again. The food was amazing and Bree got it right every meal. Jenn was not only an awesome captain, but a great Scuba instructor as well. From the moment we stepped on the Yacht, the two of them really made us feel at home, comfortable, relaxed and in a mindset to have a great time. We only hope to bring our children back with us next time. p.s They found us front row mat position for "After Irma Band"......try that StubHub! - Matt F.

BAREFEET RETREAT

Fantastic week

What a Fantastic week we had with Mary Poppins (Bree) and Wonder Woman(Jenn)! They made all our adventures come true! We had a group of 8 with 6 divers and they made us extremely comfortable, paying attention to every detail possible. Food was out of this world and the sailing was very fun. You will be so happy you picked these two. - Troy K.

BAREFEET RETREAT

We are ready to book again

Our stay was beyond comfortable because Captain Jenn and Chef Bree exceeded all our expectations and truly brought our preferences to life! With children on board, we were amazed at the endless activities and constant attention that they provided to help us feel at home. Captain Jenn amazed us with her skill and knowledge, but also was warm and patient with our gang. And, Chef Bree is a ray of sunshine! She prepared five star meals for every seating and amazed us with daily cocktails of the day and delicious desserts! The crew duo serving Barefeet Retreat are so warm and caring that you’ll leave with 2 new family members! And, the boat was kept immaculate and stocked with water toys. We are ready to book again! - Jenni B.

BAREFEET RETREAT

Couldn't have dreamed of a better crew

Jenn and Bree were outstanding! Both ladies were gracious, welcoming and good humored hosts every day. They were very knowledgeable about all things sailing/St.Thomas and St. John related and maintained the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness with all of us.

Jenn gave us a daily game plan about stops, sails and activities each morning and was always eager for our feedback and open to changes. We had a great mix of activities - hiking one day, hitting a beach at 2 or 3 stops, tubing twice, paddle boarding, a smidge of shopping and lots of off-the boat swimming and snorkeling. Jenn even found live music on another chartered boat and "dinghyed" us over to listen. We all agreed our favorite part was sailing and being on the open water! Our 15 yo daughter claimed a spot right next to Jenn for each sail so she could chat, ask questions and have the best view.

Bree is a phenomenal chef! Hands down outstanding, 5-star meals every time! She managed to compile all of our different likes/tastes into beautiful mealtime presentations. She also cooked with a healthy note - we always had salads, smoothies and fresh fruits and veggies, which many of us appreciated. In addition, Bree was unbelievably accommodating and adjusted meals for our very picky 12yo eater. Lastly, Bree was a wonderful bartender and mixologist - she always put a fun spin on our favorites and gave us something new to try (Ask for her French 75 with lemongrass simple syrup or the Passion Fruit Margarita).

Finally, and most important to us as parents, Jenn and Bree gave our three kids oodles of attention, spoke to and treated them with respect, and patiently answered a million questions. Our 7yo was completely smitten with Bree and said to me when we got home, "Why do we have to leave when we just made friends with them?" Lots and lots of love for this crew!

We couldn't have dreamed of a better crew. - Meg S.

Get ready to worry about nothing at all

“You have arrived, do yourself a favor and stop searching now, you will not find a better combination of craft and crew than this. Sailing aboard Barefeet Retreat with Captain Jenn & Chef Abrye is as good as it gets. We truly cannot think of a single thing that we would have changed during the entire week we spent. This newer yacht is very roomy, has all the comforts of home, and plenty of covered space for all to enjoy. Jenn & Abrye are intelligent, skilled, and kind, both with great senses of humor and delightful wit. Whatever your taste buds desire, Chef Abrye can make it happen, every meal was fantastic and full of flavor. I think this lady is the next big thing just waiting to be discovered, so amazingly creative. Captain Jenn is a divemaster, accomplished sailor, knowledgeable hiker, and a confident leader. You just know that you are in good hands with Jenn at the helm. So finish up your To Do List, pack lightly, and get ready to worry about nothing at all, and have one of the most wonderful weeks of your life.” - Dennis C.

BAREFEET RETREAT

Broker provided survey

Crew Friendliness:
Jenn and Bree were fabulous. They exuded warmth and friendliness and made all of us feel most welcome onboard. Mac (7) fell in love with our hosts and they with him.

Crew Knowledge:
We felt completely at ease with both crew members. It was readily apparent they knew what they were doing.

Quality of Service:
Considering there were 10 guests and just two crew members, the service was outstanding. Jenn and Bree worked tirelessly to insure we never lacked for anything. They were unfailingly pleasant, polite, friendly and helpful.

The Professionalism of Crew:
Jenn was an excellent captain and Bree an outstanding chef. Our meals were marvelous and varied. Bree went out of her way, over and above trying to please our Graham (12) who is the pickiest eater I could ever imagine. Graham was a recalcitrant eater throughout the trip but Bree never stopped trying and was always pleasant about it. She even gave Graham a two minute briefing on why he should eat fruits and vegetables. I do not think it sunk in to Graham but I was enthralled. I decided that minute to continue eating fruits and veggies when I returned home.

Value of the Cost + Expenses Charter:
For this “once in a lifetime” celebration, we accepted the financial expense involved: charter, gratuity, trip insurance, taxis to and from the Marina plus flights for three. It was a significant investment but one which made us both quite happy.

On-Board Cuisine:
Outstanding!!!! Bree served so many delicious and varied meals (and oh, so much food) that our eyes popped – shortly before our stomachs! Everything was delicious.

Destination / Location:
We enjoyed the many locations we visited on St. Thomas and St. John though we surely missed revisiting our favorite BVI destinations. Having sailed the USVI the last two times, I would now be reluctant to charter again before the BVI reopens for business.

Water-Sports:
Barefeet Retreat had a large mat it put out behind the boat which the kids loved. Jenn took them tubing on two occasions and they snorkeled throughout the trip. The noodles were most welcomed by the adults. Shaun and Hayden also used the paddleboard on a couple of occasions. Mary even rode the tube once.

Overall Satisfaction:
High, high, high. We loved Jenn and Bree. The catamaran was roomy enough for 10 and I can vouch for the ample size of our shower. Everything on board was quite comfortable.
