Dante Crew Profile
Captain
Chef
Captain Jabez Strauss -
Raised on his parent’s 47’ sailboat, sailing around the world, Jabez makes being on the water feel like home. His American and South African heritage, coupled with his ability to absorb the cultures of the places he’s traveled to, allows Jabez to have a very unique perspective.
Jabez has had a vibrant mix of experiences; working as a ski technician in Aspen, doing the dirty work at construction sites, and farming on an island in the Azores, to name a few. His infectious curiosity and casual confidence motivated him to secure his captain’s license at an early age of 20.
Jabez’s secret talent is being able to throw together a mouth-watering meal as easy as dropping anchor. From Indian curries, to incredible paella, his love for food keeps him experimenting in the kitchen.
His friends will tell you that Jabez has some of the most interesting stories you’ll hear, and you may find yourself lost in conversation with him.
Jabez continues to learn from the world by traveling and collecting new stories, which has brought him to the Caribbean.
Chef Anjali -
Having grown up in Bangalore, India, a place with such a rich culture around food, Anjali has been creating beautiful dishes since she was 11 years old. Having travelled all across the world, picking up new skills and absorbing culinary knowledge is a passion of hers. Be it Italian, Thai, French, Japanese, Mexican, or of course, Indian, she’s dedicated to satisfying all your culinary cravings! Her objective as a chef is to create healthy, elegant, and delicious meals for those onboard and loves entertaining with the stories of how these dishes came into her life.
After graduating early from UCLA this past December with a degree in Psychology, Anjali is ready to use her education to understand a client’s needs accurately, and cater to them with great care. Her warm and sunny demeanour is sure to make you feel right at home, ready for more delicious food!
The ocean has always had a special place in her heart, especially after becoming a certified diver, and so Anjali decided to pack up her things and move out to the Caribbean to make her dreams come true and be a chef!

Dante Guest Reviews
Every Moment was Exquisite
Thank you for an unforgettable experience in the USVI and BVI´s. Your dedication, skills and kindness made every moment exquisite. The crystal waters you took us to, the painkillers, and Mindy´s gourmet dinner-- every detail was perfect! Your passion for sailing and cooking was reflected in every aspect of our trip. Thank your for turning our vacation into a dream come true. We hope to sail together again in the future!!
Extra Special For Our Children
We really appreciate the extra touches that both Captain Jabez and Chef Mindy did to help our trip be extra special for our children. Captain Jabez was very hands on showing them all about life on the boat and fun activities for kids. Chef Mindy created delicious meals that encouraged our picky eaters to try new foods and eat more vegetables. So grateful we were blessed with these two!
New Family
Where do we begin? A trip of a lifetime. Memories with family and new family (Jabez and Mindy) that we will forever cherish.
Remember, Redo, and Recommend!
Thank you for the attentions, the amazing food, the sunset drinks, very cool and relaxing ambiance. Definitely an experience to remember, to redo, and to recommend.
Above and Beyond
This trip was amazing! The beauty of this place is like no other! Jabez and Mindy went above and beyond to make our trip the BEST! We will definitely be back!
Clean Plate Club
Fantastic food all week! I´ve never cleaned off so many plates of food in my life!
Pleasant Personality
Chef Mindy prepared such delicious food, we want to take her home with us. She also has such a pleasant personality which only added to our experience.
One of a Kind
Literally amazing-- all the places we went were sooo pretty and it´s an experience that you can´t just have in your camera roll, it just stays in your heart. The food 11/10, places were a million/10. I would for sure come back-- it is a one of a kind place.
Discovered Sailing
BEST TRIP I´VE BEEN ON! (And found my newest interest- sailing!) Plus the best chef and captain!
Absolute Best Time!!
Our girls were in awe. They had the absolute best time. They kept saying that they couldn’t believe how beautiful this is. It was a trip of a lifetime at their age.
Colin and Alicia LOVED IT. They said it is the “most bada** thing they have ever done”.
Mindy and Jabez were absolutely great. Captain Jabez was so confident and was just so grounded, a good head on his shoulders and made us all feel super comfortable. When he wasn’t doing his job he was helping Mindy and asked if he needed anything to drink etc. They were an incredible team. The food was fantastic, and beautifully presented! We looked forward to every single meal. (They also loved the SA meal Jabez prepared)
Jabez was great about getting the girls and ourselves up to do activities. Mindy took the kids over one day to Bitter End and hung out with the kids before the adults came over. It was so sweet of her and the girls loved it. They would hang out if we asked them to hang out but also knew when to give space. There was lots of sailing and we felt like we covered so much ground! Jabez was full of great suggestions. The crew even bought them a map and Jabez drew out their route!
14-50 years old and EVERYONE on the boat had an incredible trip.
Can´t wait to do it again!
