Captain Jack Boye USCG: FEATURED CAPTAIN OF THE MONTH @ www.charterwave.com
Your Captain, Jack Boye has a Master's USCG 100 ton license. His sailing experience is very extensive. He
is the only American to have completed three major world solo races. The BOC Around Alone, The French
Route du Rhum and the OSTAR Challenge. Add four Bermuda one-two's, yearly voyages to and from Maine
and the Caribbean, Jamestown R.I. to Norway, Cape Town South Africa to Rio, Jack has at least 80,000nm
under his keel and counting.
Jack attended Penn State on a football scholarship and played football for Coach Joe Paterno. He graduated
with a BA in American History. After serving his country in Viet Nam, a highly decorated Army Airborne
Captain, Jack then went to Wall Street for the next 25 years. While there, he started one of the first discount
brokerage firms and largest wholesale execution firms.
With his love of the sea, Jack started many children's charities beginning in NYC to promote mentoring inner
city youth through the sport of sailing. He dedicated his races to the charities and named his boats Project
City Kids and Ocean Kids. His latest charitable endeavor was as chairman of the board of Pier's Park Sailing
in East Boston.
Before turning to life aboard Pride, Jack started mini class US to promote 6.5 racing in the United States. Built
and purchased in France, his mini 6.5 was one of the first in the U.S. and with great effort he has rebuilt and
redesigned her for the last 12 years.
Jack now enjoys sailing catamaran Pride in the islands of the Caribbean and the coast of New England. He is
particularly fond of Eco-Charters where Pride can take guests to unspoiled locations. Yacht Pride can access
remote unspoiled nature preserves which are unavailable to larger vessels.
Susan Boye Chef/Mate:
Susan grew up in Barrington R.I. and was an active member in the Barrington Yacht Club. She spent all of her
childhood summers sailing Narragansett Bay and Newport and her winters skiing in the White Mountains.
Susan attended Prep school and then early admission to the Univ. of New Hampshire. She had and still has a
love of science and art so she majored in Botany and minored in Fine Art. In her early years she managed
greenhouse production in Washington State. Susan then purchased and developed wild blueberry fields in
rural Maine.
She later earned a B.S. degree in Nursing and worked in Orthopedics and Neurology in major Boston
Hospitals. Susan owned and operated a successful business as a RN muscular therapist working with MD
referred patients with chronic pain conditions.
As an active outdoors person, Susan has hiked and skied throughout Switzerland,Germany, Scotland, the
Sierra Mountains, and Olympics in Washington. She still looks forward to new challenges in sailing and
mountaineering.
Susan has lived and worked in the Caribbean and sailed the Leewards, Windwards, BVI's and USVI's aboard
both mono-hull and catamaran yachts. Her culinary forte is primarily French in influence, as she does most of
her culinary training in Quebec. A student of Bon Appetit, she also enjoys traditional New England fare as
well as casual and elegant creations inspired by the great tastes of the Caribbean.
