A New Chapter Ahead 💙⚓️ With Season 6 underway, we A New Chapter Ahead 💙⚓️
With Season 6 underway, we’re stepping into a new chapter here at Shades of Blue. Transition is never easy, and while saying goodbye to Aaron was tough, I’m incredibly grateful for the strong foundation we built together — and excited for what comes next.

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce Captain Stewart as the newest member of the Shades of Blue family.

Stewart comes to us from South Carolina and brings 16 years of experience as a licensed captain, including 5 years right here in the USVI. She knows these waters well, she brings a calm and friendly energy, and she immediately felt like the right fit for the way we do things.

I feel genuinely lucky to have her joining the team. Her professionalism, experience, and sweet personality make her an incredible addition — and I can’t wait for all of you to meet her.

Whether you’ve been with us before or this will be your first adventure aboard Shady Lady, Captain Stewart and I are excited to show you everything we love about the Virgin Islands.

Here’s to smooth seas, new faces, and another amazing season ahead! 🌴⚓️💦

A Bittersweet Update 💙⚓️
As we gear up for Season A Bittersweet Update 💙⚓️
As we gear up for Season 6 aboard Shady Lady, I want to share something a little personal. After three incredible seasons together, Captain Aaron will be leaving the island to start a new chapter.

This one hits close to home. Aaron hasn’t just been a captain on our team — he’s become one of my closest friends, a trusted advisor, and truly part of the Shades of Blue family. Over the years, we’ve logged a lot of miles, shared a lot of laughs, and built something here that I’m really proud of.

His skill at the helm, the way he connects with guests, and the energy he brings to every trip have all played a huge role in shaping what Shades of Blue has become. I’m grateful for every season we’ve had side by side, and I’m going to miss working with him.

Below, Aaron wanted to share a few words of his own 👇

After 3 incredible years with Shades of Blue Charters, it’s time for me to say goodbye as I start my next chapter in life. ⚓

To all the guests who’ve come aboard -  thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your time, for sharing your stories, your laughter, and for letting me be part of your memories. You didn’t just ride along, you became part of my journey, and I’ll carry these moments with me forever. 💙

A huge thank you to Captain Mike for giving me this amazing opportunity and taking a chance on the new guy to the industry. Being part of Shades of Blue has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and they’ve become life-long family to us.

Cheers to the memories, the laughter, and friendships that will last a lifetime. 🌅 🍻

- Captain Aaron - 
#ShadesOfBlueCharters

Aaron, thank you again — not just for the hard work you’ve put in, but for the loyalty, laughs, and friendship along the way. You’ll always be a part of the Shades of Blue story, and you’re going to be missed more than you know.

And still, the adventure continues. Shady Lady is ready for Season 6, and we’re excited to keep delivering the same great experience you’ve helped shape. Can’t wait to see everyone out on the water. 
🌴💦
Season 6 starts now. Fresh upgrades, clear water, Season 6 starts now. Fresh upgrades, clear water, and Shady Lady looking better than ever. 💙
