Captain and Chef
Captain: Mike Marier
Mike and Julie met soon after high school and have been inseparable ever since. While raising their family, Mike & Julie took family vacations up north which always meant time on water boating, fishing, skiing, biking and lots of great memories with the family. They also traveled to tropical destinations to escape the cold winter months. When they took a family trip to the Virgin Islands, they knew they would be back for good at some point. They bought a sailboat in Florida after their family was raised, spent time there and made the jump to come back to the islands after selling their home and everything they owned in 2019. They have run successful charters in the Virgin Islands ever since.
Mike grew up in the land of 10,000 lakes and took full advantage of as many opportunities as he could to hit the lakes. As a boy and young man he spent many summers up north at the family cabin taking advantage of all water sports. It’s here that Mike developed his love of being on the water.
Mike has been an entrepreneur most of his life and has, along with Julie run a personal training business, owned a fitness center and worked in the oil fields. In his free time, Mike enjoys working out, reading and 'wrenching' on things. Mike looks forward to showing his guests a great time and all the amazing experiences the islands have to offer.
Julie was born in Minnesota and moved to California as a young girl. It was then that Julie fell in love with the ocean and the peace and serenity it brought her. Julie’s love of cooking and food started at a young age as her mother was a wonderful cook and teacher and had Julie in the kitchen with her. Because of her early start, Julie worked in the service industry in many different fields after moving back to Minnesota. Julie loves to cook a wide range of foods but her favorites are comfort style, using fresh local ingredients. Julie’s hobbies are crocheting, cooking, working out with Mike and people watching. Julie looks forward to having you and your family join them for an unforgettable experience.
They hope to help others create lasting lifetime memories in their dream destination.

42 Shades of Blue Caribbean Waters
My husband and I just returned from a glorious week aboard Sea Dog, with Captain Mike and Julie. It was the experience of a lifetime.
The boat was grand, and immaculate. The BVIs and USVI were spectacular. Who can resist those 42 shades of blue Caribbean waters.
But the best was Captain Mike and Julie. They made this trip all the more special. Captain made sure we visited all the places on our wish list and got us there safely and with a smile. And Julie! What a surprise at every hand-crafted meal, from homemade ice cream to perfectly cooked sea bass. I regret our dinners on shore because I was sure we were missing something better on board.
They made our trip truly the best experience of a lifetime.

Magical
We will never forget this adventure. The entire week was magical. We anticipated this for over a year and you made it come alive beyond our expectations.
There are few inflection points in life - THIS was one of them.
Thank you for being part of our DREAM!

What a Week!
What a week! We had a fantastic time! Your hospitality is amazing. The itinerary was perfect for the little people with us. I can't think of anything I'd change or any improvements I could recommend.
You are both A+ hosts and good people to hang out with.
Hospitality Is Extraodinary, A Treasure So Rare
Sailing with you on the Sea Dog
has been a dream come true.
Your company is fantastic
and you're the best crew.
Your hospitality is extraordinary, a
treasure so rare.
You've given us a vacation
of memories to share.
Captain Mike, a navigator supreme,
guided Sea Dog like a nautical Dream.
Julie, a master chef, her culinary art.
Each meal a masterpiece, a delight from the start.
To pristine beached and blue seas.
The Sea Dog sailed,
The beauty of the islands
Each day wonders unveiled.
We are grateful to sail with you
For this is a dream come true.
Our last evening we stayed in Caneel Bay on St. John, the end of a glorious week of adventure, beauty and fun.
This was our first time to the Virgin Islands, the first time on a catamaran and I find it hard to imagine it can ever get better than this.
The natural beauty of the islands can only be seen in their entirety from the water. The many deserted coves and beaches, where we walked in the soft sand and snorkeled in the crystal clear water, were an up-close and immersive experience second to none.
Our son loved the underwater sea scooters and the wake board. Our oldest daughter would go out on the stand up paddleboards, and our youngest daughters jumped from the upper deck in between relaxing and handing out.
Mike was the perfect boat captain. Everything on board worked well, there was plenty of water for showers and all the toys and activities were already for use. He sailed us to the best of the islands, taking into account the weather and waves so we had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. On the longer stretches Mike showed anyone who was interested how to sail the catamaran, how to go fast and avoid the other ships and boats while getting to where we wanted to go. Mike led our weeklong vacation while being kind, pleasant, and confidentially in command. This certainly made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience.
As Mike led the boat, Julie led the accommodations and especially the kitchen. meals were the highlights of each day! The quantity, quality and presentation of breakfast, lunch, snack and especially dinner was wonderful. Julie is an outstanding chef. The cuisine was fresh and flavourful while at the same time being hearty, healthy and a joy to behold!
She kept the living area neat, clean and attractive!
While exploring both the American and British Virgin Islands we felt like we were in a floating luxury hotel. Every day provided a new and unique experience and the transit from island to island was an ever changing seascape of stunning natural beauty.
Every person in our family rates this as one of our best vacations ever. The only thing that might make it better was if we had a small convoy of 2 to 4 catamarans shared with friends and family, each crewed by a couple as thoughtful and capable as Mike and Julie.
Thank you!

Blessed
Thank you for the awesome week on the Sea Dog! The food was amazing! Thankful for all your knowledge about the islands. We are blessed to have spent the week with you both.
Deep Gratitude
The work you do is so important and so appreciated. Just wanted to express our deep gratitude for the dedicated work you do day after day. Because of you Mike and Julie, our time on Sea Dog was one of the best vacation ever.
Wonderful Experience
Thank you for a wonderful experience. The meals were amazing. We appreciate your hospitality and look forward to another trip soon!
Thank you for your sense of humor, patience (mom forgetting her shoes) and genuine enthusiasm for EVERYTHING!
The love you share for each other overflows into everything about this trip. :)
Thanks a million.
Please come and see us so that we can make you feel as much at home as you have made us feel this week.
Please make plans to come see us when you are in the states.
Have fun and stay in touch.
You have thought of everything - all we had to do was relax and enjoy!
As you know our True Story trip almost didn't happen as our oldest daughter and her husband cancelled for a great reason. Now we all can't wait to come back to stay with you on True Story next year with all the family including the blessing of a new baby granddaughter too!
Thank you Jaco and Simone for a truly wonderful and memorable week!
Thank you for a tip of a life time! absolutely unforgettable!
You both made this trip so fun and full of laughs! So many great adventures!
Just AMAZING!
No words!! Thank you for the experience, the most amazing that we have ever had!
Thank you so much for an amazing time. Both of you do such a great job. Hope to be back soon.
The cocktails were never ending! We have done these trips before but never with such a great crew. We hope to see you again on our next cruise.
It was incredible!
Thanks for making memories.
Fantastic - Personable - Great Chef - Great Captain
