MARINE QUALIFICATIONS:

STCW Basic Training
PADI & SSI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Emergency First Response Instructor
Kris was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He grew up fishing off the local piers and beaches and had a summer job as a teenager, working as a mate on a fishing boat.
At 19, he began working as a line cook and a couple years later enrolled in the French Culinary Institute. He went on to work as the head chef for restaurants around the world, opening 6 restaurants from NYC to the USVI, Bangkok, and Hong Kong. One of his favorite cuisines is from Thailand, where he spent 5 years as a chef in Bangkok and where he taught scuba diving in Southern Thailand.
While living in St. John, Kris first learned to scuba dive and was hooked instantly. During his final open water training dive, a large dolphin swam up and did circles around him. Kris decided he wanted to spend as much time in the water as possible. He figured the best way to do so would be to become a Scuba Instructor. He worked for several years teaching and guiding dives on liveaboard boats in Thailand, Hawaii, and the Cayman Islands, and eventually worked his way up to becoming a Captain.
In New York City, he operated a private charter boat, running tours around Manhattan and to the Statue of Liberty.

Growing up in NYC she was surrounded by all the different types of cuisines available to her right down the block. This and her travels have inspired her cooking and love for food. She likes to take inspiration from the surrounding culture and environment. Onboard you will find combinations of Caribbean, Southeast Asian and European flavors. Her dream has been to one day open a restaurant.
Aneta has a marketing degree with a minor in fine arts from Pace University. She has studied abroad in Australia, lived and backpacked throughout New Zealand and has worked in Denali National Park in Alaska. She has circumnavigated Manhattan by kayak, guided kayak trips on the East River, and ran the NYC marathon twice. She is also on track to become a Divemaster before the 2022/23 season. Her most exciting diving experience so far was swimming with Tiger Sharks and schools of Hammerheads in Cocos Islands.
Before joining the charter industry, she had worked in NYC for 5 years as an event and hospitality coordinator where she curated luxury travel experiences and events that went into auction throughout the US. She loves the tourism industry and being involved in creating a memorable vacation for her guests.

Testimonials
November 2023 BVI Charter
It's been a week since our BVI catamaran vacation aboard the Scuba Doo. The vacation high is over, and I finally have time to relay our thoughts. As soon as we three couples boarded Scuba Doo, we knew it was going to be an epic week. Several of us had previously been on a catamaran in the BVI two other times through other companies. We knew what to expect, and what we preferred to do...or so we thought.
Kris and Aneta - WOW - you two were beyond amazing! Your attention to detail, sharing of stories and finding new places for us to explore exceeded our expectations. We had just enough activities and relaxation times to please the entire group. Snorkeling and floating at the Caves and Indians and also at two coves new to us was perfect. The two divers of the group were able to get their fill of diving without interfering with the rest of the group plans. "Bubbles Up!" Kris was also patient and attentive when one of us went on a discovery dive for the first time. Aneta and Kris also know their way around the kitchen! We did not go hungry and thoroughly enjoyed all the meals, and treats in the 'Dome of Yum'. Our highlights are The Baths, Conch Island Tour in Anegada and Saba Rock. Kris and Aneta were troopers for our White Party wine tasting dinner and Scuby Doo night. Oh the laughs! Thank you for a truly magical week!

Thank you for an amazing honeymoon/family vacation excursion in the USVI/BVI's. The diving & dining experience was absolutely top notch. This was Sonya & Kings first catamaran trip and we definitely want to do this again - and hopefully with you as our crew! We appreciated the attention to detail, hospitality and friendly yet professional approach. We highly recommend Scuba Doo & crew to anyone wanting a beautiful holiday in the Caribbean!

Kris & Aneta,
You are the friendliest, most capable crew in the Caribbean ☺️ The food was amazing - not only the crazy amazing flavor - but how do you do that in that tiny kitchen?! Cocktail hour was always spot on. No one can agree on what was best, mojitos, Manhattans, passion fruit margaritas or bushwhackers.
How good was the 50th birthday celebration? Perfect! It is now the birthday by which all other birthdays will be measured. Where else can you get a champagne toast and a light up squid hat? Only on Scuba Doo.
Diving from the boat every day was a huge highlight. You found dive sites that were a great fit for our group and made it work with all the best island side trips. Your activity recommendations were on point!!! From hikes to dives to cocktails!
Thank you so much,
Russ, Susan, Dave, Shina, Noel, John & Ramsey

Aneta & Kris,
Thank you for a beautiful and memorable adventure! This was a once in a lifetime experience that we will remember forever. We are so thankful for the amount of thought places into the location and activities every single day. The hard work and amazing food could never be better. Speaking on Grace & Liam’s behalf, this trip gave them an insight on what hard work and kindness look like. Grace has always wanted to sail, but now more than ever she really wants to! Both of you have made us feel at home even in close quarters. Thank you again for an amazing week and fantastic Easter!
Fondly, Chris, Bridget, Grace & Liam
Aneta & Kris,
Words cannot express our gratitude for all you have done for us. Being our first time on an adventure such as this, we were not sure what to expect. The two of you made this trip truly extraordinary. As a family, we have been fortunate to have traveled to many places. This trip has certainly tanked at the top. You went above and beyond to ensure we got the most of our short time onboard. The experiences you provided; the unbelievable meals (and gluten free!), the sailing, the snorkeling & diving, the wake-boarding, all of it was truly the most memorable. We all so appreciate all your hard work. I am sure as Grace and Liam look back at their childhood, this trip will surely be a high point, if not the highest. With that Bridget & I are so thankful. We all wish both of you all the best in your future.
Sincerely & with tremendous gratitude,
Chris & Bridget

Kris & Aneta,
Another day in paradise! This was an incredible week and time went by way too quickly. I easily got used to the morning swim, endless snorkeling, and the most amazing food. The diving was rich with beautiful coral, fish, lobsters, turtles, and rays. We loved the peaceful sailing, made even more fantastic by the playful dolphin that visited us. The captains’ cocktails were a treat – from painkillers to espresso martinis.
You are both amazing at what you do! You were informative before the trip and your guidance during the trip made everyday filled with fun. Your energy and positivity is a joy to be around! We will miss your home in paradise and are left wanting more! Kiki’s 5th Pirate Birthday Party was the cutest!
This trip was absolutely amazing!

Best Family Trip – I cannot say enough about our excellent experience with Michelle Heyns of Epic Yacht Charters and our crew on the Scuba Doo, Perhaps the best all-around family trip we’ve taken! Booking the charter with Michelle was easy and seamless. She is knowlegable, available and held our hands through every step of the process. Highly recommend! Our family of five (my wife and I and three daughters, ages 15, 12, and 8) chartered Scuba Doo, a 50-foot catamaran, for a week in early March for our spring break. It was PERFECT. The captain Kris and the first mate/chef Aneta were all we could have hoped for. Kris is a top-notch captain and had everything under control on the boat at all times. He’s a skilled sailor and walked us through the plan for each day. He was very helpful with our daughters and skillfully guided them on/off the dinghy when we went ashore. Kris also made some great “captain cocktail” specials for happy hour for the whole family. Really was the ideal captain. Aneta is so thoughtful and somehow turns out gourmet fine-dining quality meals from that tiny little kitchen. Three wonderful meals each day, with great variety. Honestly, the meals were so good there was no reason to have lunch or dinner ashore. My wife and I are sort of “foodies” and we were highly impressed throughout the week. We did a mix of USVI and BVI, which was perfect. Something to do each day – or nothing to do if you prefer! Island adventures, snorkeling, beach days or just cruising. Overall, our week on Scuba Doo with Kris and Aneta was probably the best family trip we’ve had. We very much hope we’ll be able to book with them again!

We can’t thank you enough for such an amazing week aboard.

Lol) And of course the fantastic meals, but most of all we will always remember your incredible hospitality! You made us feel like guests in your home not like customers. We will remember this trip forever.

I booked Scuba Doo with Captain Kris and Chef Aneta for my girlfriend and me to get some scuba diving in and to show my girlfriend the BVI. Kris and Chef were amazing and by the time the trip was over, I believe that I can count them as friends. The food Aneta made was delicious and Kris was a great dive master/instructor as well as a superb bartender. Kris and Aneta even went above and beyond to fulfill a special beach bonfire evening that I requested. You and I both know that the success of a charter is greatly dependent upon the crew of the charter, and I can say this trip was extremely successful!!
Everyone has written about Aneta’s meals and Kris’s Activities and while all that applies, the richness of spending 7 nights 8 days with them was priceless and beyond delightful! It was our pleasure to get to know you both more than just “crew.” You two are rich beyond your understanding and my prayer is that you cultivate that so you can continue to spread your joy with others!
Love you guys!

Thank you for the most fantastic week! It was the perfect way to kidnap my family and create once in a lifetime memories. The meals were delicious. I am amazed by the food Aneta poofs out of the small corner kitchen – small but mighty! The activities while onboard were pletiful, some lazy & some active – the perfect balance for us. On that note, thank you for resurrecting my scuba career! 25 years dormant!! I will cherish the map and recall each amazing detail when I look at it. This trip has been a dream of mine for years – the reality was even better than I dreamed.
Special thanks to the patience with late rising teenagers, accommodating picky eaters, being Cowboy fans!! and being able to stream the game! Setting up a special birthday celebration and of course for finding fireworks on New Year's Eve.

We had an amazing charter with you through the BVI! This trip was our familys first trip together in 7 years! We really enjoyed the entire trip but daily highlights include: St. John – snorkeling with the turtles! Jay becoming famous at Willy T’s for his backflips, (#backflipboy #willytsbackflipboy). Kris rescuing an eagle ray from the fisherman’s net – good karma for that! Thank you again for orchestrating such a beautiful birthday celebration for Lauren (24!). Aneta is an amazing chef – every meal was a standout! We especially loved the Jerk Caribbean Chicken, Sesame Tuna, and Snapper! Eggs Benedict, Taco Tuesday and the banana pancakes were also a hit.

Captain Kris and Anetta were fantastic on all aspects. The boat was amazing - super-comfortable and we’ll-equipped. I loved the layout of the salon, with the u-shaped sofa and middle console. We had all meals out on the deck - never really used the salon but I liked the open floor plan that made it seem more spacious. All of our rooms were comfortable with good mattresses and nice, efficient bathrooms.
The food was delicious - and it wasn’t easy with our dietary preferences and restrictions. All meals were delicious and well-presented. Anetta did a great job making Maddie’s meals replicate ours but vegan. And she even baked a chocolate birthday cake for Lauren (along with presenting her with an bottle of champagne and a map of the BVI with our journey charted on it). So thoughtful. Kris and Anetta joined us for dinner at Saba Rock one evening and it was much fun.
We snorkeled a ton - saw some sea turtles, sting rays, lots of amazing fish, including a few barracuda, awesome coral. Kris helped a fisherman rescue an Eagle ray from his net that Jay and Maddie found while kayaking - a happy ending to a potential for a bad outcome.
We hit great beaches and some of our top must-sees - Norman Island, Willy T’s (where Jay became somewhat famous for doing about 8 backflips from the top deck - people we saw at other islands said “Hey, you’re the backflip dude!”) the Baths, Cooper Island, the bubbly pools, the North Sound, and Caneel Bay.
It was an amazing week and something we will all remember for a very long time. Thank you for everything you did to make it happen and make it amazing.

Each day was an Adventure – a balm for the soul and an exercise in practicing daily gratitude. You guys make an incredible team! Not only were we well taken care of but we were fed like kings. We are forever changed by this trip. It’s a rare thing these days to stop and disconnect from the fast-paced world we live in and spend real quality time with friends and family. We are glad you were part of this. We will go home a little braver, a little wiser and a lot more grateful!

The sea is most definitely our “happy place” and your hard work and attention to detail really supercharged that experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving out family and experience we will forever remember and be grateful for.

First of all, "Thank you" will never be able to describe how grateful our entire group is for this pas week. With that being said... THANK YOU!!
Cammi,
Your work ethic and desire to make everything perfect is incredible. Every meal was incredible-delicious, beautiful, filling, awesome! The running joke is that we were never hungry on this trip. We probably ate less this week than we normally do and that was because every meal was perfect. You were also patient, flexible, and understanding with us.
Thank you!!
Charlie,
You are the man! You taught us more about boats, sailing, snorkeling, diving, and reef/sea creatures than we could ever learn in a lifetime. We also asked more questions than we could in a lifetime and you answered every one. I'm still not sure when you were bullshitting us... so I'm going to go with the fact that you just know way to much. thank you for putting up with our shenanigans.
Thank you!!
First of all, "Thank you" will never be able to describe how grateful our entire group is for this pas week. With that being said... THANK YOU!!
Cammi,
Your work ethic and desire to make everything perfect is incredible. Every meal was incredible-delicious, beautiful, filling, awesome! The running joke is that we were never hungry on this trip. We probably ate less this week than we normally do and that was because every meal was perfect. You were also patient, flexible, and understanding with us.
Thank you!!
Charlie,
You are the man! You taught us more about boats, sailing, snorkeling, diving, and reef/sea creatures than we could ever learn in a lifetime. We also asked more questions than we could in a lifetime and you answered every one. I'm still not sure when you were bullshitting us... so I'm going to go with the fact that you just know way to much. thank you for putting up with our shenanigans.
Thank you!!

Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you both for an amazing week! You are a fantastic team and made the week pass by in a blink. It is incredible how a trip can be so fully relaxing and so action packed. We loved every bit-snorkeling swimming, hiking, lobstering, fishing, playing on the water toys, and of course the sailing. Your shared joy of sailing was a pleasure to watch. And then, of course, was Cammi's cooking. We loved every single thing you put on the table.
Perhaps best of all was getting to know you guys a little bit. We loved Charlie's quiet confidence and stoicism. You are a true professional and all around cool guy. And Cammi you have such a warm and engaging personality with the most infectious and joyous laugh. We loved hearing about your unique background and life experience.
Our trip had been delayed 2 years due to covid but alas you made it worth the wait. We are so thankful for an amazing week on the boat with you.
-Brian and Kristin
Charlie and Cammi,
Thank you both for a wonderful trip! IT far exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible... the snorkeling, sailing, and hiking were so much fun. The experiences this week would not have been the same caliber with both of you. Your generous spirits and hard work made it all look easy. Thankful for sharing a piece of your world with us.
Until we see you again

Dear Miss Cammi and Captain Charlie
I had an amazing time with you guys. The food was amazing, and scuba diving was awesome. Hangin out with everybody made me feel peaceful.
Miss Cammi,
You made me feel like a younger sister. I had so much time to be you mini chef, and I had so much fun. I loved my hair after you braided it, and going to the beach and learning how to do one handed cartwheels was a big thing on my to do list. I will tell you when I could do it.
Captain Charlie,
I loved seeing you play with Sho. The look on his face, showed you knew your pokémon. Next up Sho champion.
With all Love Kaili (11) and Sho (5)

Dear Cammi and Charlie,
How can we begin to say thank you for the millions of little things you did to make out vacation truly memorable! Cammi, I am Italian and my love language is food and service. I see your beautiful heart in all the you do everyday. You are like a ninja, making beds (or remaking beds as I always tried, but failed miserably for a week to make our bed) while we weren't looking. Your food was made with love every single day. Thank you for sharing all your talents and your kind and beautiful heart with us.
Charlie, Thank you for being game for pretty much anything at anytime. You are gentle and fearless. You showed us so many things and were always up for the game.
This was a week full of rest, relaxation, and also adventure. I just didn't know it was possible to put all of that into a single trip. Thank you both for taking care of us with so much love and care. We will share stones of this week with our grandchildren. You firmly imprinted in our memories and we are forever grateful for the experience.
-With love and gratitude
Kate
Cammi and Charlie,
You exceeded our expectations the moment we stepped on the boat. Thank you for the greatest vacation I have ever taken! Thank you for listening to our 10,000 questions! Best of luck in all future journeys.
Cheers
Paul
Cammi and Charlie,
When we set out on out island adventure I knew we would be treated to a relaxing sail in a beautiful setting. What I could not have known is that we would be treated to spectacular cuisine, lovingly prepared at each and every breakfast, lunch, and dinner and snack break. I could not have known we would be treated to a captain who would also serve as our patient, creative, and knowledgable guide to the islands who would whisk us to the hidden gems, such as the ideal snorkeling and diving spots, that would make our trip truly special. Spending a week with your senses of humor, attention to detail, adventurous spirit, and steady hands truly took our vacation to a different level. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime and best of luck to you both.
Cheers,
Johnathon

We can't remember a time in recent years where everything was taken care of for us-hard to do, but very relaxing-just what we needed!
Your food was amazing-especially the sea bass, avocado toast with poached eggs, and those blueberry scones :). If you ever find yourself tired of this beautiful Caribbean weather and scenery, you have a baking job at the Spot on Main!
Charlie thanks for making snorkeling enjoyable and our dinghy rides fun!

New Years Eve 2021 Charter USVI
Charlie and Cammi,
What a fantastic week! Thank you for everything. We sailed around Saint John and a couple of coves on Saint Thomas. We started the week pretty timid about the water and ended with lots of growth. Ava and Ian went snorkeling at every stop seeing a nurse shark, reef shark, sting rays, a squid, and lots of fish. The nights where the underwater lights were allowed lit up large tarpin and smaller fish. Megans Bay and Christmas Cove were our favorites. Megans because of the beautiful yachts and night lights and Christmas Cove for the snorkeling and pizza boat. Charlie's knowledge of all things sailing and Cammi's amazing cooking were definite highlights making for a fun, relaxing vacation.
Thank you for everything you both made our family vacay unforgettable!

This has been a perfect week! Thank you for your hospitality. Food and sailing were amazing. Top Notch!
I can honestly say this is the most relaxed, serene, and tranquil vacation I have ever had. Connecting with the sea and the beauty it has to offer will stay with me forever. I wish I could bottle up the calm and peace. I will definitely be back to these waters someday. Hopefully sooner than later!
Safe sailing to both of you:)
