OCEAN KITTY is a 50 ft Aquila sailing catamaran accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. Built in 2026. Cruising areas: Caribbean Virgin Islands (BVI), Caribbean Virgin Islands (US), Caribbean Virgin Islands (US/BVI).

OCEAN KITTY is a 2026 Aquila 50 sailing catamaran built for spacious, breezy getaways and effortless island-hopping.

Captain Blaine Kubesh
Captain Blaine Kubesh brings an adventurous spirit, extensive technical expertise, and a genuine passion for hospitality to every charter. A licensed U.S. Coast Guard Captain, RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, and airplane pilot, he has spent much of his life exploring—by sea, beneath the surface, and in the air.

Blaine's love of sailing began at the age of ten and was further inspired by a close family member who circumnavigated the globe. Since then, he has sailed extensively throughout the Caribbean and Mediterranean, developing particular knowledge of the Leeward and Windward Islands. Now in his eighth charter season, he has captained hundreds of successful charters, creating thoughtfully planned itineraries that balance adventure, relaxation, and authentic island experiences.

Whether guests are looking to discover vibrant reefs, enjoy world-class snorkeling and diving, fish for dinner, explore scenic hiking trails, visit lively beach bars, try watersports, or simply unwind in a secluded anchorage, Blaine enjoys tailoring each charter to their interests. His local knowledge, calm professionalism, and guest-focused approach allow every voyage to feel seamless, personal, and unforgettable.

Before pursuing a full-time career in yachting, Blaine grew up on a farm and ranch in Montana before spending more than 20 years working in electrical and software engineering and cybersecurity. That background instilled a practical, safety-conscious mindset and exceptional attention to detail, while his Montana upbringing shaped the strong work ethic, easygoing personality, and appreciation for the outdoors that guests quickly come to appreciate.

Blaine especially enjoys introducing guests to the underwater world, sharing stories about the islands, organizing fun activities both on and off the water, and serving up a freshly caught fish after a successful day of fishing. Above all, he loves meeting new people and helping guests leave feeling they've truly experienced the Caribbean—not simply visited it.

Chef Kimberly Peters
Chef Kimberly Peters brings a creative spirit, refined culinary skill, and genuine passion for hospitality to every charter. A private chef with more than a decade of experience serving high-net-worth and VIP clients, she has built her career around transforming fresh ingredients into thoughtful, memorable dining experiences.

Kimberly’s love of cooking began as a child in the kitchen with both of her grandmothers, sparking a lifelong curiosity about global flavors and the connection created around the table. She went on to cook privately for ultra-high-net-worth families in Los Angeles, Dallas, and Seattle, designing personalized menus that balance nourishment, indulgence, and authentic local flavor.

Her culinary approach is flexible, polished, and deeply guest-focused. Whether preparing vibrant island-inspired lunches, elegant plated dinners beneath the stars, relaxed family-style meals, fresh-caught fish straight from the grill, or menus tailored to gluten-free, vegan, keto, paleo, or kosher preferences, Kimberly enjoys creating meals that reflect each guest’s tastes. Her careful provisioning, premium sourcing, and calm professionalism in the galley help every dining experience feel seamless and personal.

Before entering yachting full time, Kimberly grew up in Texas, where Southern hospitality became the foundation of her service style. Her background in private service shaped her discretion, organization, adaptability, and attention to detail, qualities that guests quickly come to appreciate aboard.

Kimberly holds HACCP food safety certification and STCW Basic Safety Training, and she completed the Ballymaloe Sustainable Food Program in Ireland. At home, she is developing her own sustainable farm and shares her life with horses, dogs, and cats. Her connection to the land inspires her farm-to-table approach, while her Pilates and yoga practice supports her love of creating healthy, wellness-minded menus.

Above all, Kimberly believes a great charter is often remembered around the table. Through warm service, beautiful food, and thoughtful attention to each guest, she makes everyone feel welcomed, cared for, and truly at home onboard.
