Captain: Craig Weaver (48)
Craig has owned NEON MOON, a Lagoon 450F since 2017. He's been coming to the British Virgin Islands since 2012 and has over 800 days of sea days.
Raised in Montana, Craig now splits his time between there and the British Virgin Islands.
Craig has completed two careers, the first as a firefighter for 22 years in Salt Lake City retiring as a captain in 2022, and the second career was as a helicopter paramedic. He did this for 24 years during and after the firefighter career.
Craig also has his commercial pilots license with over 2000 hours of flight time, though he decided airline life wasn’t something he wanted to chase anymore and turned to the sea.
1st Mate: Tara Swift (46)
It’s my pleasure to introduce my first mate and best friend.
Tara has her degree from Oregon State in Biology. She has had one of the most interesting lives of anyone I have ever met. She was a river patroller, microbiologist, has starred on three full season adventure reality tv shows, was a cell tower climber, crossbow performer touring the world, and currently works as a wildlife pencil artist, real estate broker, and loan signing agent.
She’s lived the ocean life for several years and is an advocate for the environment with an appreciation for all things natural..... she will humbly educate us along the way.
She brings an intelligence and thirst for knowledge that is inspiring to anyone who meets her.
She’s lived, worked, and traveled throughout the world and currently resides close to family in southern Oregon.
