Francisco was born in a sailing family, having therefore his first sailing experience as a baby. This experience of course got engraved in his mind for the rest of his life. Since this family boat was sold when Francisco was around 12 years old, he didn't sail again until he got back on a boat as a result of starting to dive in Brazil after highschool. Staying in Brazil until achieving his PADI Instructor diploma, he remembered that boats were his real passion, and decided to start his formation, completing his first sailing course in 2013. After this course, and some experience, he started teaching other people the art of sailing in the challenging Rio de La Plata, and taking boats across the river from Buenos Aires to Uruguay; starting in 2018 the project of building an ocean sailboat, in order to go out to high seas. After 3 years of hard work, he took this sailboat from Argentina to Morocco and back, in a voyage of more than 20,000Nm and two Atlantic crossings. Pursuing a career as professional captain during this voyage, he completed various courses and started working in the Industry.

As the sailboat construction started, Francisco met Julieta, and found true love and companionship. When the boat was ready to go out to sea in 2021, Julieta was confident to join and stayed the whole voyage aboard; learning about sailing, and taking her culinary knowledge and experience to boats. Looking to learn local food everywhere she travels.

Testimonials

January 2023 BVI Charter
Our group of four couples just finished six nights aboard the pristine Liquid Zen. The boat is new with great amenities: air conditioning, carpet in the bedrooms, comfy beds with plenty of pillows, heavy and light covers, a separate shower and toilet, fast dinghy, dishwasher--wow! I grew up bareboating and this boat is a palace!

Captain Mike is super easy going. He is excellent with safety, navigation, and cleanliness and stays even keel and calm at all times. He was great at taking us snorkeling, diving, and to and from shore as well. Truly the Zen of Liquid Zen. With Chef Sara also having her captain's license, you are always in the best of hands. Sara's cooking and hospitality is top-notch. Though she is younger than most all of our children, we called Sara "Mom" because she was so good at keeping track of us and attending to our every whim.

A good boat is important but likely most important is the crew. They can make or break a trip and these two made our trip outstanding. I cannot recommend them highly enough. You will not be disappointed.

-Ann and Ed

Christmas 2023 BVI Charter 
In short, it was overall an amazing trip.  Mike and Sara could not have been a better crew for us.  They were very professional, responsible and just a pleasure to be with on our trip.  The boat was great and just as advertised and the food was off the charts delicious.  Everything we had asked for was onboard and plentiful and Mike even got me to a pharmacy for antibiotics after I got a tooth infection.  Everyone in our group had a fantastic time and will remember this trip for life.

We would highly recommend the boat and of course Mike and Sara to anyone wanting to take this trip and we will definitely keep your and their info in case we decide to replicate this one again.

Kind regards,
Robert 


July 2023 BVI Charter
Thank you both for being such kind and thoughtful vacation planners, our trip was wonderful. We made a lot of memories together and are grateful for everything you did to make it happen! Here are a few of our favorite memories: Gumption and all he entails: entrepreneur, DJ, Tour Guide, Lemur expert, photographer, and promoter! Michael's pants being assaulted by the chair in Anegada; may they find the courage to be worn again in public. Billy Ocean and Casey's bellowing laughs on Murder Mystery Night. Mom and her lost and found jewelry and hat nearly being blown to Puerto Rico. Of course we will always miss and remember Casey's delicious food. Thanks for being so flexible with us; it's going to be a sad farewell at the end of this vacation. We wish you both well in your next adventure and hope to see you on the islands next season!
 - The Wusterhausens

June 2023 BVI Charter
Thank you for taking us on a bucket list vacation! You both made the trip a dream - between the food, trips ashore, water sports, and your overall attention/care to all the little details - we are truly grateful. Most importantly, you gave each of us priceless memories that we will never forget! We hope to see you again soon!

Thank you so much for an amazing week of fun adventures and relaxation. The food was so good (and the cocktails!), and we appreciate y'all taking such good care of us. And a special thanks for your help with Abigail's cast cover :) We will look back on this trip fondly; we had such a great time. The snorkeling and water sports (the tube!) were a few favorites.

May 2023 BVI Charter 
Thank you for a wonderful week! Everything was perfect, from Michael greeting us warmly at the dock, Casey welcoming us with drinks and lunch, to the final gorgeous sunset at Caneel Bay. All of our group agreed that Conch Island was the Highlight of the trip, with the Baths being a close second. We missed being able to have a campfire, but playing Liquid Zen Trivia instead was so much fun (especially since mine and Bob's team won!). Your gracious hospitality made everything so special for us ~ Casey's cooking was fabulous, and Michael's patience with us less experienced seamen was much appreciated! I will wear my title of "Mrs. Phelps" proudly

May 2023 BVI Charter 
After our last charter, I think we all wondered if it was possible to match that experience...you guys exceeded it!! This was an amazing week with you both and it was so needed after a crazy, challenging few years. Casey, the food and service was perfect - we'll all be thinking of you when we're back in the gym. Thank you for making it amazing!! Michael, the quiet competence with a side of Texas sass. You did such a great job being our Captain, host, and guide. Thank you - we'd follow you both to any boat or place. This place is special to all of us and you made it more so. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

Thank you both for such an amazing and fun trip.

April 2023 BVI Charter
Where to begin? First of all, congratulations on surviving not one, but two charters with Dougie Fresh. This was a once in a lifetime trip for our family and you both made it so special! I'm sure we will go down in history as the first guests to discover a sea water snorkel allergy, so thank you for being there for that difficult discovery. Casey, your food is unbelievable, and Michael your Captianing is unmatched (try opening a map)! If you ever need a third crew member, I'll be waiting for the call in New York! I'll pack the maracas :)
 Thank You

To say this has been a trip of a lifetime would be an understatement. Your attention to detail and hospitality made for an incredible vacation. From towel animals to sailing, hiking, and absolutely delicious & beautiful meals you have made this vacation journey one we will never forget. You can learn a lot about a boat before a trip, but you need to be onboard to learn about the crew. I have no doubt that you two made our trip so much better! Thank you for the incredible memories -Tina & Tom

Thank you so much for giving us such an amazing vacation from all the delicious food to all the fun activities. We couldn't have asked for a better boat or crew! I loved all my towel animals! I had so much fun subwinging and doing everything else. You were the best crew. Thank you!

Jan 2023 BVI Charter
We stumbled aboard late, tired, stressed, and excited to start our week. Within the hour we were casually laughing and getting into the groove of the vacation of a lifetime. Words cannot express our thanks for all the delicious food, special cocktails, patience, jokes, and most of all just taking care of everything so we just had to sit back and relax. Everyone agrees: Exceeded our Expectations! 
One thing is for sure, this trip would have not been as amazing, fun, and memorable without our Crew - Michael & Casey. You are the VERY BEST. We feel so lucky to have selected Liquid Zen and spent our week with you. Can't thank you enough.

Friends, It is difficult to re-create unique and magical moments. Congratulations, you did it! This has been an amazing week. The two of you go above and beyond to create the best experiences. We will leave with hearts full. The beautiful stops, yummy meals, exploring, and lots of laughter. As a group we had several discussions on how we really enjoyed getting to know you both more.

Words cannot truly express what an amazing time you have both provided on Liquid Zen. This was an experience that we had never had, but will certainly do again. You provided the most wonderful food that anyone could imagine plus all the sailing and fun stops to snorkel and beach activities. I must mention the cleanliness and safety instructions -- plus the two of you work so well together. What a team!! We'll never forget this trip or you. Those are memories that we will have forever. Love and blessings and much gratitude. We'll see you again.

November BVI 2022 Charter

Everything exceeded our expectations! The boat is beautiful and you both take great care in keeping it that way. It is also obvious you both enjoy what you do very much. All of the work "behind the scenes" made this vacation truly restful for our family. The sailing, the delicious meals, scuba diving, snorkeling, and all the water activities were a blast. We look forward to another charter with you both someday. You are a great team

-The Valentines


November USVI Charter

This trip was absolutely incredible and that is because of y'all! It was like being at summer camp with the two most fun counselors. You guys kept us in line with good suggestions and lots of delicious food. It was so awesome getting to know y'all, learning cool stuff about the islands, exploring new spots, and so much laughing. Casey - you're an amazing chef and the kindest person. Michael - you're an effortless captain and hilarious person. Thank y'all so much for making the week so awesome. We hope to boat with the two of y'all again soon - maybe we can find a few more merch stops!

'Thank you so much for letting us come on your adventure/tack North. Your kindness and patience, especially with my scuba nerves, was so appreciated. We felt special and part of the "Team Liquid Zen" We will be preparing our trivia chops and scuba breathing before we see you next. Here's to a magical season for you two. We will be thinking of you!!' 
-Terry & Joe

'These past nine days adventuring across the high seas have birthed memories I won't soon forget. Learning how to swim and snorkel will no doubt save my life one day. Escaping the cannibals on Grenada was definitely a close call but I'm happy we escaped with their treasure. Perhaps the most fun part of our journey was cooking the lamb with you on the last night, it was a delicious dinner. I wish you both the best luck in your future journeys, and hope you might one day sail to the enchanted forests of Pennsylvania to visit us. Please be safe and stay in touch.'

July 2022 USVI Charter 

We arrived in Red Hook, St. Thomas on July, 25 2022 and were welcomed by our Captain, Michael Wilson and Chef Casey Strickland. From the moment we stepped on the deck of the Liquid Zen we felt at home. The yacht was clean and beautiful and our staterooms which were immaculate. Michael and Casey walked us through the safety procedures and what to expect on our journey. They were very thorough and made us feel very comfortable.

It’s hard to let down from day to day stress at the beginning of a vacation, but aboard the Liquid Zen we felt we were unwinding right away. Michael is an extremely competent captain. We knew at all times that he could handle waves, weather and maneuvering around other boats. Casey is an extraordinary chef. Every meal was healthy and delicious as well as unique. The presentation was gorgeous and creative. The table was always imaginatively set with the theme of the meal. We had 2 children with us who can be hard to please but Casey nailed it with the food every time.

Michael and Casey helped us learn more about snorkeling and where to swim to see the best of the area we were in. Each cay or cove we went to offered something different from the last. It was great to be able to paddle board at some spots, snorkel at some, hike and take the dingy to the beach at others. This was truly a vacation to remember. Members of our family commented more than once about this being their best vacation ever! We are so glad we chose the Liquid Zen for our trip. One of the reasons we did is because of the web site that featured the yacht and Michael and Casey. The pictures they posted and descriptions made all the difference.

We would recommend to everyone that if they are planning a yacht trip in the Virgin Islands to book with Michael and Casey. They are simply the best hosts you could have.
 - Jo

We will be forever grateful for the amazing memories you helped us make over the last week. This experience was hands down the best family vacation one could ask for. There was no detail left out. The views and food were perfect! Thank you so much for being a part of our family the past week. Can't wait to do it all over again, hopefully sooner than later! Until then I wish you the best in all your next adventures.
 -Marlo, Ian, Stella & Lola

Thank you for making our time aboard the Liquid Zen such a memorable experience. No detail was overlooked. We always felt safe and secure with Michael at the helm. The boat is beautifully appointed and comfortable. Chef Casey's meals were as beautiful as they were delicious. The cuisine added much to our experience. Thanks for the memories and good times...an unforgettable experience!

We want to thank you for such a great week. Casey, the food was amazing. Michael, your attention to detail was as good as it can get. Both of you made us feel comfortable from the first step on the boat. I even enjoyed drinking glass with Michael at Dinghys! If only Cruz had caught Moby Dick we would have had the perfect vacation.


Thanks again and see you soon!


- Kris



Thank you for the best vacation! Not everyone gets to experience what we did this week! We were able to make some great family memories together. Casey, your skills in the kitchen left a huge impression on my family. Your food will be talked about often, they will look forward to the next trip. I am appreciative of your patience and kindness, teens can at times be a challenge. Michael, you are a wonderful host. You were attentive and accommodating to my family. Your calm presence made us all feel welcome. We are all looking forward to the next trip.

June 2022 USVI Charter

Thank you for making our first trip on Liquid Zen so memorable. Your deep and thorough knowledge of the USVI made sure that our unexpected itinerary detour was nevertheless a great week! We appreciate you indulging our "the kids aren't here!" adult humor and presenting us countless opportunities to create lots of inside jokes with our guests. I am not quite sure how to go back to our regular diets after eating Casey's wonderful creations three times a day for the past week, but I'm sure my waistline will thank me. Lori and I look forward to coming back with our Molly for Thanksgiving, until then, Fair Winds!"

There really are no words I can say that express how special this week was to me. You guys are simply two of the best humans I have ever met. No detail was overlooked. I will miss our "friendly banter" Guess I'll just have to go back to Colorado and give "school aged children" a hard time. May your lives continue to be a ray of sunshine to all who are on this boat. I need to stop writing now as my eyes are misting. Be happy and safe." - Carmel 


"Please accept our sincerest thanks for an amazing week aboard Liquid Zen! Michael, thank you for your command of the week, your superb itinerary, your expert seamanship, and harassing Carmel so we didn't have to. Casey, thank you for your sunny disposition and your culinary expertise. Your food was delicious and healthy at the same time. I hope you aren't disappointed that we didn't eat until we exploded, but we came close :) This week we will never forget. We wish you much success in the future and hope to someday see you again on the water or in Vail. Hugs to you both." -Scrabbling Seniors & Jake

"To say this was the trip of a lifetime doesn't even come close to the true experience that you two created for our family. Our two families, though separated by distance, have been coming together for years, and this is by far the BEST trip we have ever taken. The attention to detail, your kindness, and patience truly stood out. We all know 100% for sure that we landed the best crew & boat in the entire USVIs. We all can't wait to return to meet again & experience the BVIs with you both. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"
 -The Zaps 
ps if you ever need an extra crew member for night watch, you know who to call ;) 

"What a treasure it was to be a part of your Liquid Zen world for a week. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this the best week ever!! It is hard to pick a favorite day/memory from the week. The sunset hike, the "icing", the scuba diving, the FOOD, the drinks, pineapple card game, the night time snorkeling, will all be in our hearts forever. Your attention to detail is so impressive. The two of you make the best team and your hard work does not go unnoticed. Grant is already plotting the next boat trip to the BVIS, but we all agree we couldn't do it with anyone but the two of you! Take care and be safe, and we hope our paths cross again!"

Well, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go :( *crying. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful, peaceful, gastronomically divine, and adventurous holiday at sea. So many wonderful memories have been made, so many new experiences have been tried, and we are eternally grateful for all you've shared with us, including your most beautiful home on the sea. These islands are magical and it has been so great to slow down and enjoy life's simple joys and nature's abundance. We can't say thank you enough for the 10 Star Service! You've knocked it out of the park!!! I hope that our paths cross again on the mega yacht in the future! Please take good care of yourselves and each other and I hope only THE BEST!!

"Thank you both for such an incredible experience on Liquid Zen! Even though our parents weren't able to make it, we had the BEST time and honestly wouldn't have it any other way (except maybe icing Brad at least *one* more time). This week truly was the best relaxation that I didn't know I needed. 

To Casey: no words other than wow - this trip was filled with the most amazing food and really not sure how I can go back to reality at this point (lol) Thank You! To Michael: Thanks for being such a fun Captain despite our plot to lose the dinghy. Also thanks for initiating Brad into the family by icing him upon arrival. We won't forget these things along with all the other great memories! 

We had such a great time hanging out with you both, and feel like we are leaving with two new friends. It's been an unforgettable trip & we can't wait to do it again! (maybe we'll even let our parents join next time haha). 
Cheers! Love Mollie, Hastings, Emily & Brad

"Thank you so much for such an amazing week. You took us to so many amazing places that when we try to pick our favorites, every one is a favorite. Thank you for taking us to places that weren't on our list, but also making the effort to bring us to the places we read about. St. John is such a beautiful place and we will definitely be back - sooner rather than later. Also thanks for all the patience with us scuba diving - actually getting down and exploring the reef was an accomplishment for all of us...and the food was totally amazing - we always looked forward to what we would come back to. Best we've ever eaten! If you are ever in the frozen tundra of Boston please call!

"I think I can speak for all of us when I say that the two of you exceeded any expectations we had as the hospitality extended to us aboard Liquid Zen. While the boat itself is spacious, luxurious, and well equipped, it is the crew that makes or breaks the voyage. And you both made our week aboard so much fun! Your knowledge of the islands, your daily itineraries, your positive attitudes - what fun we've had this week with you!! And Casey - OMG - what a remarkable chef you are!! Every meal was more spectacular than the last. I will think of you every time I try to recreate one of your dishes at home. You welcomed us into your home and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable week!! (I almost forgot - Trivia Night - Girls Rule!)" 


-All the best to you both, 
Lindsay, Renee, Doub, Patty, Steve, Linda & Eric 



January 2022 USVI Charter 
"Thank you for saving our vacation from near-certain tragedy! Not only did we get a great boat, we got an even better crew. You are a great team and top notch across the board. You enabled us to make new friends (including you) while having the time of our lives. Not a boring moment. It is rare to find people in the world who are so good at making others feel so good, have so much fun, and make them eat so much!! We will miss you." -Shaun (aka boat man) & Betty

"What a fantastic week...and unexpected given the inauspicious start having our originally planned vacation canceled the morning of our flights. As it turned out, we were lucky. This past week was better than expected - good time with great friends, of course, but with a nicer boat and (I'm sure) a better crew. You two were great, organizing a fantastic itinerary with unexpected surprises - After Irma concert, massages, Lime Out, Zozos...and what wonderful food!!! Thank You!" - Heather and Lou 

"We have lost ourselves in the moment of "today is today." I am hard pressed to think of another time in the last two years when I have felt so relaxed and carefree and slowed down. This was all possible because the two of you made things so easy, comfortable, and your knowledge of the islands and what you knew we would enjoy. There were too many highlights to pick out just one, but what I will remember the most is the belly laughs with the two of you and all our friends. Thank you for absolutely everything!" - Christine & Rob 



New Years 2021 Charter USVI

"Michael & Casey,
Thank you for giving us a week full of experiences and memories that we will remember for a lifetime! From the food that was out of this world, to teaching Shane and Travis to scuba dive, and even showing us the ropes of sailing, we've had the most unforgettable week island hopping around the Virgin Islands!

Both of you have shown unbelievable kindness, grace, patience, wisdom, joy, laughter, and love to not only our family, but to each other! Each of you are truly an inspiration to us and everyone you encounter! Thank you for being such a highlight on our trip and welcoming us to your home with open arms. We hope you have an amazing 2022!
Love, The Cristiano Family"


Christmas Charter USVI 2021

"Wow, if you want the best vacation for your family to make everlasting, very special memories, this is it! A one-week cruise with Michael and Casey, our captain and chef, was just what we all needed to reconnect and spend quality time together. Our family of eight including my husband, our two daughters, son-in-law and three teenage grandchildren spent one week on Liquid Zen, a beautiful 52-foot catamaran with all the amenities. Without a doubt, we had our best family holiday ever! Michael and Casey pampered us from the moment they met us at the dock and helped us unload our luggage from the van to helping us with our luggage into the van when we, very reluctantly, started our journey home. They had wonderful suggestions of some extras, which I fortunately said yes to. Both were surprises for my family (it was a Christmas cruise) – the first day a massage therapist came aboard to give each of us a relaxing massage, which was the perfect way to jump right into “vacation mode.” And, the last day, I surprised everyone with a super band of three and as they played and sang from the swim platform on our boat, other boats and floats came to share in the fun and frivolity. Casey is a superb chef, so consequently mealtime was a real highlight of the trip – it was magical how such yummy food (and snacks) appeared many times each day just when we started to get hungry! We ate and ate, and she prepared special food for those of us who are gluten-free and vegetarian. Fortunately, there were many activities to prevent us from having to be rolled off the deck at the end of our cruise! We swam, snorkeled, went scuba diving, paddleboarding, hiking, ate lunch one day on a floating pod (whoops, this is in the wrong category!). There were all sorts of fun water toys that kept appearing – floats, floating chairs, kayaks, paddleboards where all sorts of silly games and competitions ensued. The sea life was never ending – sting rays, turtles, starfish, tarpon, multicolored designs on a myriad of fish swimming alone and in schools. At night, we watched the same sea life from the platform at the back of the boat all lit up from above. In the evenings we played our guitar, listened and danced to music, played cards and both night and day a lot of chess matches were happening – when we could get Michael to stop working, he won every game! He also designed a very interesting trivia game, which once again brought out our competitiveness! We highly recommend this 5-star experience with Michael and Casey on Liquid Zen!! We can’t wait to go back!!!
