U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captain and Certified Scuba Instructor Jim Ringland was born in New Hampshire and attended Northeastern University School of Engineering. He is an avid outdoorsman and while in New Hampshire enjoyed sailing, water-skiing, dirt biking, camping, and hiking. He has won awards for downhill skiing and jumping, marksmanship, swimming and business management.
Jim owned a successful real estate business and an automobile dealership. In his late twenties, he gave it all up to cruise the Southern Islands on a sailboat and began his career of yacht charters in 1976 in Florida and the Bahamas. After chartering as a single Captain in the Virgin Islands from 1981 to 1987, he moved back to New England to develop real estate, where he met his wife Lisa.
Born and raised in Keene, New Hampshire, Lisa attended Franklin Pierce College for Business Management and Accounting. Also an outdoor enthusiast, Lisa enjoys sailing, snorkeling, hiking and knee boarding. She is also a Certified Scuba Dive Master.
Lisa's love of cooking began at an early age with a stepfather who attended the New England Culinary Institute and enjoyed passing on much of his experience to Lisa and her brother. After college, Lisa began to work for a local CPA and started her own catering service specializing in private cocktail and dinner parties in the client's home. Lisa and Jim met while catering the wedding reception of a mutual friend.
Captain Jim has enjoyed entertaining guests on private yacht charters since 1976 and together with Lisa in the Virgin Islands since the fall of 1990. Their expertise and extensive experience at navigating the waters of the Caribbean, combined with their attention to the care and needs of their chartering guests, assure a delightful and memorable vacation experience. | |
