Captain Owen Aschoff
Growing up in Florida, I spent much of my time in and on the water, often accompanying my parents to Florida BASS Federation tournaments, where they served as Directors. My love for the ocean quickly led me to offshore sportfishing, where I started as a mate and gained valuable experience as crew. This passion expanded when I was invited to join a sailboat racing crew aboard a 38' Hinckley, and it was there that I fell in love with sailing.
During this period, I worked various jobs in the service industry, including bartending, while also touring the U.S. as a drummer for many years. These experiences eventually brought me to the USVI, where my boating career truly took off.
As a 100-ton Inland and 50-ton Near Coastal Master Captain, I’ve spent the last ten years captaining boats ranging from 35 feet to 60' catamarans, along with many others in between. I’ve had the privilege of racing both Swan 90s and 60m Perini Navis in international mega yacht regattas, experiences that have been instrumental in shaping my yachting career.
The past decade has been a fulfilling adventure, filled with diving, freediving, fishing, and hiking. I’m excited to bring all that I’ve learned to the next level with KASIOPEJA.
