The Crew
 
Rapscallion - Captain
Charter Catamaran Rapscallion - Chef / 1st Mate

Stephanie and Captain Ryan have found a partnership aboard that sets them worlds apart from others, working in perfect harmony as Captain and Crew. They are also loving partners in life, working and living their dream.
 
This crew is fully vaccinated for Covid-19.

 
Ryan Adelmann - Captain
 
Ryan was introduced to sailing at the young age of 8. Raised in Minnesota, he learned the finer points of sailing on the numerous lakes and rivers, including the Great Lakes. By his late adolescent years, he had sailed the Florida Keys, Bahamian Islands and had spent many months off the N.E. coast, fine tuning his passion for the sea. Though life guided him through many ventures including a prosperous run in semiconductor manufacturing and real estate investing, the “Pirate” in Ryan hailed strong!
 
Holding a 100GT Master USCG Mariner’s Credential along with STCW (International Standard of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for seafarers), Auxiliary Sail endorsement, BVI Boatmaster endorsement, he is also safety-trained and certified in CPR, First Aid, AED and Child CPR. Ryan’s numerous land-based safety credentials have translated easily as he learned to “breathe” underwater as a PADI certified diver.

Ryan’s quick wit, plethora of bad jokes and charm have earned him a reputation second to none.
 
 
Stephanie Grace Simpson - Chef / First Mate
 
Stephanie hails from Memphis, Tennessee. With her sweet southern charm, Stephanie strives to give you an experience to never be forgotten. Her passion for pleasing is apparent once board, whether she is “mermaiding” her way through the waters to show you the beautiful aquatic life or when you sit at her table and she presents your specially considered meals, she shines with enthusiasm and joy.

Stephanie is certified in STCW; Personal Safety, Survival, Social Responsibilities and CPR. She also holds an Advanced Open Water scuba certification. 
 
In her downtime she loves to hike the many trails of the Virgin Islands, beach comb for unique shells, and simply relax in her island home, swaying in the breeze in her hammock, reading or just enjoying mother nature at her finest.

 
Comments from recent charter guests
 
From the moment we got out of the cab in St Thomas we knew it was going to be an awesome vacation with Steph and Ryan. They were so welcoming and so excited to meet us. Rapscallion was the perfect choice for our group. It was beautiful. Plenty of room inside and out. 
 
The food Steph prepared was out of this world. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. All were beautifully presented and very delicious. 
 
The US Virgin Islands was spectacular. Ryan and Steph put together an itinerary based on our requests that showed us the best areas. This trip exceeded any and all expectations. Can't say enough about our new friends Ryan and Steph. They made all our dreams come true with this trip. It was most relaxed and fun trip any of us had ever had. The scenery, the food and drinks, snorkeling, shopping, sailing and all the great floating toys on the boat were spectacular. It was a trip we will remember for a lifetime.

Dylan guides you to perfect bays and secret spots, pairing your expectations and his knowledge to make exploring the Islands all the more enjoyable. Nothing is too much for any of his guests, whether sun tanning on the flybridge with a cocktail in hand, or getting you involved in sailing Odyssea.

Fully qualified and commercially endorsed as a MCA/RYA Yacht Master Offshore 200GT, he is also a certified PADI Dive Master.

Gi grew up in Mozambique, a country on the east coast of Africa famous for its tropical beaches, fresh seafood and Portuguese influences. At 16 years old she began leading guests on private safari tours where she specialized in identifying birds and expanded on her knowledge and love of animals. Later on she would discover her interest in local and international cooking, learning from seasoned chefs operating within the Safari. In 2017, she made the decision to advance her skills by completing the Capital Culinary School Diploma in Professional Cookery, affording her the opportunity to return to Mozambique to delight guests with her refined culinary skills. Gi now looks forward to welcoming you aboard Odyssea and creating delicious meals for you and your friends and family.
