No Inheritance

Captain Owen Aschoff
Captain Owen grew up in Florida, spending much of his time in and around the water. He often accompanied his parents to Florida BASS Federation tournaments, where they served as Directors, and soon developed a love for offshore sportfishing. Beginning as a mate, he gained valuable hands-on experience before joining the racing crew of a 38-foot Hinckley, where he discovered a lasting passion for sailing.

During this time, Owen also worked in the service industry, including bartending, and toured the United States as a drummer for many years. Those experiences eventually brought him to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where his professional boating career truly took off.

Owen holds a 100-ton Inland and 50-ton Near Coastal Master Captain’s license. Over the past ten years, he has captained vessels ranging from 35-foot boats to 60-foot catamarans and many others in between. He has also raced aboard Swan 90s and 60-meter Perini Navi yachts in international superyacht regattas, experiences that helped shape his seamanship and yachting career.
