Introducing the power team aboard the Painted Pelican!
Captain Joe brings years of experience navigating catamarans through some of the world’s most beautiful waters. Chef Mel and Chef Casey curate exceptional vibrant menus that blend Caribbean flavors with global influences, always using local, seasonal ingredients. Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or just adventurous with your palate, the team can accommodate any dietary need. Together, they’ll deliver the vacation of a lifetime for your family and friends.

Joseph Paolone: Captain

Joseph hails from the sailing community of the Niagara-on-the Lake in Ontario, Canada. He began boating as a baby on the shores of Lake Ontario, sparking a lifelong love for adventure and discovery on the open water. While studying history at Brock University, Joseph spent many summers working as a sailing coach at neighboring yacht clubs. It was during these years that he realized his passion for boating and his dream of a life at sea could be fulfilled by moving to the Caribbean.

For nearly a decade, Joseph has worked as a charter captain around the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Pacific Ocean. He has completed multiple deliveries and was part of a Pacific crossing on a 32-foot sailboat in the spring and summer of 2024.

Joseph is excited to take you to the most incredible spots in the Caribbean on your charter. He is more than happy to teach guests anything they want to know about boating while sharing his passion for the sea. Joseph also enjoys staying active and can show you his favorite trails and snorkeling spots if that interests you. To top off an exciting day of activities, he would be delighted to make you your favorite cocktail as you relax and enjoy an amazing sunset. Whatever type of charter you fancy, Joseph will make it happen. 


Casey Wichman: Chef/Stew/Mate (Please see Chef Schedule for your charter)

Casey is an Estonian-American yacht chef who splits her time between Italy and the Caribbean. Trained at culinary school in Italy, she combines Mediterranean influences with fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create vibrant, beautifully presented dishes. Inspired by travel, wellness, and seasonal flavors, Casey loves crafting memorable dining experiences—from relaxed lunches in the sun to elegant dinners under the stars. Her warm, approachable style and passion for great food help guests feel at home from the very first meal.
 

Melissa Fulmor: Chef/Stew/Matex(Please see Chef Schedule for your charter)


 Melissa was born in San Diego, California but if you ask her, raised in a kitchen. Coming from a family of chefs and restaurateurs, the culinary industry is second nature. She quickly found a love of travel and has been to over 35 countries and lived in several along the way.

In 2017, Melissa found a way to combine her two great loves: cooking and traveling as she sailed through the stunning waters of Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and the BVI's. Melissa thrives on giving her guests not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience, because in her world, the best memories are made around the dinner table.
