Captain "Hollywood" Joe Alvarez is a permanent fixture in St. Thomas/St. John. Hailing from Miami, Florida "Hollywood" grew up in the Florida Keys where his parents owned and operated a fish camp complete with restaurant, campgrounds and bait shop.

A former U. S. Marine Captain Alvarez was discharged in Puerto Rico. It was a natural transition to St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. "Hollywood" spent ten years denying his love of the Virgin Islands. Chartering in Palm Beach and Cozumel, fishing in Costa Rica and Jamaica but it all kept leading him back to this true home; St. Thomas.

When Treazzure and "Hollywood" first met it was love at first sight. For the past two years Treazzure has been pampered, polished, sanded, varnished and improved. Captain Alvarez, also an accomplished Chef, welcomes you aboard Treazzure with a hearty laugh and an attitude sure to please.

Captain "Hollywood" Joe has had his Captains license and has been sailing the waters of the Virgin Islands for 30 years. His knowledge of the islands waters, history, folklore and tall tales will keep you enthralled and begging for more!

Knowledge of the waters of the Virgin Islands will assure that you get to really great spots that may not be traveled by other day sail boats. Many new or first-timer Captains often have a set course that they follow regardless of weather/water conditions. We have gorgeous clearwater here in the Virgin Islands, but nature has a hand in stirring things up occasionally, like after a big storm perhaps, and you want your Captain to be able to chart a course for exceptional snorkeling.
