Tim and Julie have extensive knowledge and love of the Virgin Islands ensures that you will have the best vacation of your life. While developing their charter yacht business, they have maintained and upgraded the McGregor so that it is now one of the finest vessels in the Caribbean charter fleet. Their success in the charter world is reflected by their repeat clientele! Over 80% of their guests have been back to charter McGregor at least 3 times!!
Captain Tim Miller hails from Colorado, where he graduated from C.U. with a degree in Biology. He has been teaching SCUBA diving since 1979 and is a certified instructor with PADI, NAUI, SSI and CMAS certifications. He spent six years teaching diving worldwide, including Mexico, Tahiti, the Red Sea and extensively throughout the Caribbean. With Tim, your snorkel and dive experiences will always be safe, relaxed, and unforgettable.
Capt. Tim has had his 100-ton U.S. Coast Guard license since 1986, when he departed the mainland and headed toward the Virgin Islands. After exploring these magnificent islands, he set up home base in St. Thomas aboard McGregor I and began showing family, friends, and guests the hidden treasures of the Caribbean. An avid sailor as well, Tim has made two Trans-Atlantic crossings on 100' sailboats. His other interests include horses, hiking, snow skiing, and running a small adventure camp for children.
Chef Julie Brown has been exploring the many coves of the Caribbean Sea for the past 15 years. Living in Southern California’s wine country, Julie’s culinary education specialized in the elegant balance of nutritional foods and fine wines. Her cuisine features fresh fish, tropical fruits & vegetables and, of course, mouth-watering desserts, such as the Captain’s favorite, wild berry cheesecake.
Before joining McGregor, Julie’s background in catering and her love for the sea lured her to the warm, blue waters of the Virgin Islands. Her interest in the underwater world began during her years at Mary Baldwin College and the Duke University Marine Laboratory. During her final year at the Marine Lab, she passed her days studying and training octopuses. An avid snorkeler and certified SCUBA diver, Julie is always on the lookout for her old eight legged friends.

“This was an awesome trip! I loved Julie’s cooking. Screaming was great! It was cool getting up on water skis. Jumping off the top of McGregor was awesome. My brother and I set a new record jumping off McGregor’s top deck. I jumped 63 times and my brother jumped 66 times. We had an awesome trip! THANK YOU!!!” - Chase C. (13 years old) “P.S. Screaming is the source! It’ll change your life!”
Our family & friends have been chartering with Tim and Julie for over 15 years. They are very gracious hosts and will customize the charter for you. Tim is great fun and Julie's cooking is absolutely amazing! Good people. Eric B. and Family
You want to have the best time of your life??? Make sure to go with Tim and Julie on the McGregor III! I have never met such fabulous hosts. You will never eat such fantastic food, laugh so much and be so entertained, and be totally relaxed and happy all in one place! I am not much of a water person, but along with my family, Julie and Tim encouraged me to try new sports, and made me feel good about myself. I love these people, and you will too!!!!!!!
Tim and Julie are the best! They are true professionals who will completely cater your charter to your individual wants and needs. Anyone who has chartered with them before knows that Julie's cooking is incredible and that Tim finds the most fantastic snorkels. We had beautiful sunsets, amazing star-gazing and a lot of good laughs. We had the best time hiking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling and enjoying the breathtaking water. If we could give 6 stars we would! We can't recommend chartering with Tim and Julie highly enough!
Tim and Julie are absolutely brilliant at what they do. This summer was our fourth time chartering with them. Their “new and improved” boat is comfortable and functional and this vacation includes practically everything! Julie’s gourmet food is such a treat (I’m not going to lie I want to go back on there now just for this alone;)....Tim took us scuba diving daily (we did all of our dives with him back in 2015 to become certified); sun bathing, paddle boarding, kayaking, water skiing, snorkeling right off of the boat, and visiting different places on the islands are among the few things available....but whatever you do they attend to every detail and make you feel completely cared for. Evenings are relaxing with beautiful cocktails and dinners under the stars. Hands down, to have the ability to be on the moorings and sleep in little coves around the islands is just a unique and special experience. We have traveled all over, but cruising with Tim and Julie is our favorite. They are family to us and are forever present in our vacation memories.
