Captain Matt Neidlinger 

Hi, I’m Matt—and I’m looking forward to welcoming you aboard. Before we meet in person, let me share a bit about my journey. I grew up on the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois, where boating, water-skiing, and fishing were part of everyday life. My parents instilled in me 
a deep respect for the water from an early age, and that connection has shaped everything since. 

In 2005, I took a charter vacation in the British Virgin Islands—and it changed everything. The beauty of the Caribbean, the rhythm of life on the water, and the joy of sharing it with others sparked something permanent. Just a year later, I moved to the islands and began 
my career as a mate aboard a charter catamaran. Twenty one years later, I’m still doing what I love. I’ve had the privilege of chartering throughout the Bahamas and the eastern Caribbean, and today, I’m proud to welcome guests aboard the Mother Ocean. Whether you’re eager to dive, paddle, snorkel, hike—or simply relax and soak in the scenery—I’m here to help you make the most of every moment.
I hold a 200-ton US Coast Guard License, am a certified ASA Sailing Instructor, and a PADI Divemaster. More than anything, I’m passionate aboutcreating unforgettable experiences on the water.

Chef Kari Compson 

After more than two decades in corporate America, I traded boardrooms for blue water and never looked back. My journey into yachting began with a charter in the Grenadines, and that experience lit a fire in me. I earned my STCW certification and dove headfirst into the world of crewed charters, working in the Grenadines, Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. My first chef role was aboard a large motor yacht, but I quickly realized my heart belonged 
to smaller boats—where I could connect directly with guests and craft meals that truly elevate their experience. My cooking reflects my adventurous spirit and deep love for life on the water. I focus on fresh, wholesome ingredients and love weaving local flavors into every dish. I also understand the importance of dietary needs—having a food allergy myself—and I take great care to tailor menus to each guest’s preferences. 
When I’m not in the galley, you’ll find me snorkeling, hiking, paddle boarding, or swimming in the turquoise waters. I can’t wait to welcome you aboard Mother Ocean and share the flavors, sights, and serenity that make this lifestyle so unforgettable.

Mate and Dive Master Kelly Jastremski

Guest Comments Barefeet Retreat 2026

Dear Captain Matt and Chef Kari,
Thank you for and unforgettable five nights at sea. From the moment we stepped onboard, we felt completely taken care of. You made every day feel effortless. Whether we were exploring new anchorages, soaking and floating in the sun, or having a dance party after a fabulous meal, the care you put into every detail did not go unnoticed. You elevated this trip from just a simple vacation to a truly specialized and well curated experience. We will always remember the amazing adventure with you. Bob in particular enjoyed learning about sailing and boat life. Chef Kari’s chocolate chip cookies and creative meals were a highlight – along with your help celebrating Bob and Phoebe’s 10th anniversary.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Your Minnesota Crew! Bob, Phoebe, Jeremy, Janessa, Matt, Katie, Danielle and Derek
