Meet the Crew
About Us
We are Kevin and Cheryl Simmons, both USCG Master Captains, married for 30 years. We've been sailing around the USVI and BVI since 2015. In addition to sailing all of the Leeward, Windward and Virgin Islands, we also sailed for 26 days from St. Thomas to the Azores, logging well over 10,000 nautical miles in total.
Throughout our travels, we've found amazing places to take guests and can't wait to share them with you. We are down-to-earth, fun-loving, easy-going people and we enjoy making our guests happy! Want to hit the hot party spots? Check. Prefer to be low-key and chill? We have you covered. Family trip with kids? We have lots of ideas for youngsters and teens to keep them engaged.
We look forward to hosting you aboard Sun Goddess where we strive to exceed your expectations by providing a personalized itinerary, delicious meals, your favorite beverages, and creating memories to last a lifetime.
Welcome aboard!
Kevin
Kevin, or KDog as he’s known to family and friends, enjoys entertaining guests and ensuring they have a fabulous experience aboard Sun Goddess. Every day brings an opportunity for new experiences. Guests appreciate his guidance and assistance fitting their snorkel gear helping them feel comfortable with snorkeling - many for the first time. He often snorkels with the guests, guiding them to the best spots and points out turtles, fish and various aquatic life. He’s also the “Coordinator of Fun” setting out couch floats, paddle boards, pulling guests in the tube behind the dinghy, hanging up the hammock for guests to lounge in, and making arrangements on the bow for guests to enjoy sleeping under the star-filled sky. Kevin loves history and can often be found reading about events that took place hundreds of years ago in the Caribbean islands. He imagines how difficult it was for sailors before engines, charts and GPS were available, and delights in entertaining guests with stories about pirates! Captain KDog looks forward to sharing his adventurous nature with you, and who knows, you might just find a buried treasure!
Cheryl
Cheryl has a passion for hosting family, friends, and guests, and what better place than the spectacular, crystal-blue waters of the Caribbean! She was rated as a Super Host for their Virginia Beach Airbnb home and has transferred her knack for details to hosting guests aboard Sun Goddess. While living in Virginia, she started a small catering company which gave her an additional outlet to showcase her love of cooking and entertaining. During the Summer 2024 break, Cheryl studied with author and culinary educator Sara Ciliberto of "The Unexpected Kitchen" fame, and looks forward to preparing some scrumptious new recipes for guests! Whether you’re planning a vacation to celebrate a special event or a relaxing island getaway from work, Cheryl welcomes the opportunity to feed your soul with delicious meals and make your trip aboard Sun Goddess a memorable one.
