Captain: Matt Neidlinger
Captain Matt Neidlinger
Hello, my name is Matt. I hope I’ll have a chance to meet you soon, but first, let me tell
you about myself.
I grew up boating, water-skiing, and fishing on the Mississippi River in northwestern
Illinois. Both of my parents loved the water and they taught me to love and respect the it
at an early age.
In 2005, I took a charter vacation in the BVI, and that was all it took. I instantly knew that
I wanted to share the beauty of the Caribbean with as many people as possible. One
year later, I moved to the islands to start a career as mate aboard a charter catamaran.
17 years later, I still love what I do. I’m blessed to have chartered all over the Bahamas
and eastern Caribbean, and I hope that I can help you create your perfect charter
vacation aboard the beautiful Xquisite X5 catamaran. Whether its sailing instruction,
kayaking, heading out on a paddle board, snorkeling or hiking, I’m happy to help you
explore as much as you’d like or take care of all the details while you just relax on
board.
I hold a 200ton US Coast Guard License, I’m an ASA Sailing Instructor and am a PADI
Divemaster. I look forward to hosting you.
Chef Kari Compson
After more than two decades in corporate America, I quit and went sailing. I was
blessed to have had the opportunity to take a charter on a catamaran to the
Grenadines. Once I had that amazing experience, I knew I needed to find a way to get
into the industry. I got my STCW and jumped right into the yachting world. Since then, I
have crewed in the Grenadines, Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas.
My first chef position was as a crew chef on a large motor yacht. That was a great
experience, but I realized I wanted to be on smaller boats to fulfill my passion for
making sure all guests had an amazing experience and wanted to be able to express
my culinary talent directly to the guests on charter.
My cooking reflects my adventurous spirit and love for life on the water, using only the
freshest and most wholesome ingredients. I love to incorporate local cuisine into my
meals and pay close attention to the preferences of my guests. I have a food allergy, so
I understand how important it is to work with my guest’s specific preferences while
creating a charter menu. I believe that cooking is all about sharing and being able to
share unique and tasty dishes with my guests and make their vacation unforgettable!
When I am not in the galley, I like to snorkel, paddle board and swim in the beautiful
waters. I also love to hike around the islands and learn everything I can about the land
as well as local culture. I can’t wait to meet you and share those amazing experiences!
