Dante Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/Mate
Captain Kelsey Dyer
Born and raised in New Jersey, Kelsey spent her childhood sailing all over the east coast of the US. After graduating college, she moved to The Bahamas for a marketing stint. It wasn’t long before she realized she wanted to turn her love of sailing into a career, and set off to South Africa to complete her Yachtmaster. Since then, Kelsey has been cruising her way around the world. Her yachting experience ranges from fun flotilla charters in the Mediterranean to enduring transatlantic crossings. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing, sunny vacation or an exciting ocean adventure, she is happy to welcome you aboard!
Chef/Mate Cassie Pepin
Originally from Florida, Cassie grew up on the water. Spending the weekends at the beach, grilling out with friends and family fostered her love for entertaining. Growing up as the oldest of 6, she is overqualified at managing multiple personalities and wrangling a group.
She was the go-to girl for family birthday cakes and over the years has been more than happy to use her family for countless hours of recipe testing. After college, Cassie began working in DC as an events planner, and while her family´s love for entertaining helped her excel in this position, she still yearned for something more.
Deciding to take a year off to backpack through Europe, Cassie ended up on a sailboat trip with friends in Croatia and that was it. She knew she had to find a way to stay, and when the staff on board asked if she knew how to cook, she said yes - and never looked back!
During the pandemic when the tourism industry slowed, she took that as an opportunity to advance her career. Cassie took a year off from working on boats to attend culinary school in New York City, landing a job as a line cook at a well known southeast asian restaurant in Chinatown while attending school. Learning from some of the best chefs in the industry and fine tuning her own skills on the line, she gained priceless experience during her year on land.
Sailing & cooking throughout the Mediterranean, French Polynesia, and most recently BVI- Cassie has developed a love for traveling on the water and brings her experiences from around the globe to the guests. The best way to experience a place is through the food, and having traveled to over 40 countries- taking in the cuisine through restaurants, street markets & cooking classes- Cassie brings these experiences right back to her kitchen and your plate. This, alongside her professional restaurant training, is sure to make the food on each charter a highlight of the trip.
She loves to entertain & wether at home with friends or on board with guests, Cassie makes it her mission to make the guests time unforgettable.

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!
