Captain
Chef/First Mate
Captain: Jon Kingsley, Jr
Captain Jon
Right after crossing the stage at his 1987 high school graduation in Houston, Jon wasted no time. He hopped into his packed truck, determined to chase adventure. Twenty-three hours later—after two warnings for speeding—he arrived in Miami, Florida, ready to follow his dreams. His journey began aboard a 50-foot Bertram Sportfish with one goal: to fish in every major billfish tournament in the Caribbean. Living aboard full-time, Jon crisscrossed the Bahamian and Caribbean islands three times, from Walker’s Cay in the north to Grenada in the south, stopping at many islands in between.
After four years of life on the water, college, a business career, and family obligations brought him back to land. But even then, Jon couldn’t stay away from the sea—most weekends and holidays found him back on the water. Eventually, he became captain of the vessel, logging over 6,000 hours on the engines and continuing to freelance on boats up to 63 feet. By 2015, however, the fast-paced tournament lifestyle started to lose its shine. That’s when Jon’s interest turned to sailing—a huge shift for someone who once called sailboats “blow boats!”
Semi-retired from business, Jon sharpened his sailing skills, became an ASA instructor, and returned to the Caribbean. A pivotal moment came when he repositioned a 47-foot Leopard catamaran from Grenada to Turks and Caicos, solidifying his passion for sailing and making it part of his DNA.
Now at a stage where he wants to give back to the lifestyle that has brought him so much joy, Jon is eager to share the knowledge and experience he’s gathered over the years. Teaching others is his way of passing the torch, hoping to inspire a similar love for adventure in those he instructs.
Jon holds a USCG 100T Master’s license, is an ASA instructor, FAA private pilot, and an advanced scuba diver (NAUI, SSI, & PADI). And when he’s not in the air or on the sea, he’s a dedicated family man. To close, one of Jon’s favorite quotes from Anthony J. D’Angelo sums up his outlook: “Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.”
Chef/First Mate Suzanne
Chef Suzanne began her journey into the food service industry while in college, working for a large family-owned restaurant chain in Houston, TX. Gaining knowledge of the hospitality and culinary world, she started as a hostess and worked her way up to kitchen manager. Always eager to learn, she continues to educate herself to stay up to date on the latest culinary trends and techniques. Her attention to detail ensures that she creates healthy, gourmet meals using fresh, locally sourced, and organic ingredients. Exploring new cultures and flavors inspires her to bring innovative culinary ideas to Soggy Doggy's charter guests. She is also known for her homemade pasta sauces, breads, spice blends, dressings, desserts, and charcuterie boards.
Suzanne's love for culinary creations is equally matched by her passion for nature, water, and the outdoors. Exploring new places, traveling, snorkeling, and swimming with turtles are at the top of her adventure list. Certified in CPR and first aid, she also holds SWCT and food safety certifications.
A wise mentor once told her, "Figure out what you love to do, then find a way to make a living doing that." And she has done just that, feeling blessed to "work" in paradise.

Reviews
Thank you for the great adventure! This was our first experience like this and you did not disappoint. Your effort to accommodate was truly appreciated and noticed. Every day was a new adventure and a lot of laughs. We like to learn and you both are great teachers- that says a lot!
Suzanne, your chef skills were awesome and seemed almost too easy, haha.
Jon, thanks for all the patience. Stay tuned – could see everyone again?
Steve and Alicia, the Arkansas travelers.
This week was truly amazing. The islands we visited, the sunrises, the sunsets, my special birthday week. It will be tough to top this next year.
The food was awesome, the drinks, the desserts and appetizers. Your knowledge of the islands and where to go with me this experience special. Hope you will come visit on your way up 75 north in Texas. Thank you for everything you did for us to make this week special. Once in a lifetime trip.
Jan and Greg
Despite being limited to the USVI (passports on our end) and some unseasonably high winds, Jon and Suzanne pulled out all the stops to ensure a fantastic memory making experience for the entire family! We swam, snorkeled, hiked the ruins, had a lily pad party, shopped and ate our face off both on the boat and on land. A standout experience for everyone was when we visited Mongoose Crossing and Suzanne finagled a highly coveted reservation at Morgan's Mango, we witnessed a tandem night swim and true "eye of the tiger" moment to retrieve the dinghy before heading back to the boat.
Staying with Jon and Suzanne feels like you're staying with family. THANK YOU so very much for helping create this bonding experience for our family (and baby-to-be) on board! We'll never forget it and have already begun plans for our next excursion!
Lauren, Jimmy, Pete, Linda, Dan and Tanya
Thank you for the amazing journey. Our family enjoyed this trip immensely. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity to make wonderful memories as a family. We will never forget the beautiful beaches, snorkeling, the kids' jumps at Willy T's and the delicious food that Suzanne prepared daily. Suzanne Rocks!!! Captain Jon is the best Captain in all of the Virgin Islands. We can't wait to see 'Captain Babe's Spicy Margs' at our local grocery store soon.
We don't want to leave!
Thank you both!
Ricardo, Maria, Adrian, Chloe, Sebas and Christy
Perfect balance of adventure, exploration, fun, family time, sunsets and relaxation. Soggy Doggy and her crew were great and we loved the tandem sail with One Love. HIghlights included snorkeling Christmas cove, swimming with sea turtles, and cocktails at Tipsy's!
Thanks for everything and we look forward to being back someday.
Ryan, Suzy, Riley, Mitch, Jessie and Chase
Suzanne and Captain Jon~ you two are the best! The food and navigation were top-notch and we couldn't have asked for better friends to spend the week with. Thank you from all of us~ hope to see you again soon!
Love,
Melinda, Bart, Kitty, John, Yasmina and Stephen
Your work ethic and teamwork made our trip stress free and beyond enjoyable. You both worried about details so we didn't have to. Jason, Sarah, Troy and I had more time to enjoy each other's company because of your planning and organization. You are living the life most can only dream of. I appreciate you sharing a bit of that with us.
May safe journeys be ever in your future.
Steve K.
It is heartwarming to witness friends who plan, execute and then LIVE the life they intended. And I do appreciate the opportunity to share a few legs of that journey with you. Your guests are grateful for the "above and beyond" attitude you have for each one of us. From foods to stops, activities and music, you always went out of your way to customize the trip and make it genuinely unique.
Until we meet again, wishing you the very best in all of your future travels.
Troy K.
Thank you for our amazing week full of adventures from exploring The Baths to sailing to/from Anegada. I believe we hit all the hotspots in the BVI but I know we have a ton more to explore next time! We had a tough group with food likes and dislikes but Chef Suzanne did an amazing job offering selections that catered to everyone's tastes!
It's sad that we are on our last day but so happy we have wonderful memories to take home with us!
Thank you both!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Love,
John and Jean H.
We could not have picked a better crew and had a more incredible experience in the USVI's and BVI's! Celebrating Amie and Suzanne's birthdays... every stop was incredible.. Every meal and snack was incredible! The tradition of Captain's happy hour was so much fun! The Baths and private concert in Christmas Cove were the highlights!
You made our week so special. Thank you so much!
Dave, Nicole, Amie & Brock
Where to even begin... this week far outshone anything we could have imagined. It absolutely turned into a trip of a lifetime and we cannot thank you enough for making it such an amazing week. From visiting different islands, snorkeling and just sailing around to being TOTALLY nurtured and taken care of by Suzanne. You make a wonderful team and we are grateful to have been taken care of by you BOTH!!
Much gratitude!
Robin, Carin, Michael and Joel.
