Meet Our President
JP Mancini II
Hey everyone, I'm JP Mancini II, the heart and vision behind SeaEO Luxury Boat Charters. As a Virginia native with a distinguished military background, my lifelong passion for the water and business acumen converge to create an unparalleled nautical experience. I've been recognized by Business Insider and CNBC for my innovative approach and success in steering SeaEO to become synonymous with luxury, personalization, and ethics. My leadership philosophy is unique – treating every team member as a partner, prioritizing the 'right way' over the easy way, and deeply believing in the power of putting clients and employees first. Our impeccable five-star reputation across all platforms is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence. A critical priority of mine is ensuring that every voyage with SeaEO is not just a trip, but the highlight of your journey. I leave every guest with a promise: to ensure a five-star experience on every occasion, where I always encourage your insights and feedback. While perfection may be challenging to attain, striving for excellence remains my constant objective.

Meet Our Executive Vice President
Aleah Culpepper
We, at SeaEO, are thrilled to add to our team Aleah Culpepper. Of all of the people we could add to our team, very few could meet the reputation of a "Culpepper". Aleah, a Virginia Native, happens to come from a long line of legendary mariners. She has lived, breathed, and has the water running through her veins since she was born. We often joke that she probably could fish before she walked. Her family’s “Culpepper Boats” has been a Port Norfolk staple for over 80 years; offering boat rentals, bait/tackle, fresh crabs, oysters, and everything in between.
Although fashion is Aleah’s first love, the outdoors is where she truly shines—and that’s exactly why we’re so excited about the passion she brings to our team.

Meet Our Social Media Captain
Karina Vasquez
We’re excited to introduce Karina Vasquez, our new Social Media Manager, who’s ready to bring the waves of excitement to all our digital channels!
Karina, a former college athlete and Virginia native will be steering our social media presence to new heights — from showcasing our beautiful fleet of boats to sharing incredible stories from the open sea. Whether it’s a serene sunset cruise or an adrenaline-filled adventure, she is here to make sure you feel the thrill of the water every time you scroll!
When Karina isn’t crafting engaging content, you’ll find her exploring new destinations, planning her next beach getaway, or sipping a cold drink by the shore.

Meet Our Administrator
