Our Story
A love for the water, reggae, and a will for adventure brought us together, and a thirst for good food and entrepreneurship started us on this wild dream. We are excited to share this perfect storm of circumstances with you and hope you enjoy our products as much as we do.
Patrick Gruber,
President and Owner
My love for food started at a young age cooking with my mom in south Denver. Making all types of art was my main obsession growing up, but after aspirations of becoming the next Salvador Dalí were stifled, I decided to use my artistic ability in a new way. I joined culinary school and started honing my skills. My love for the beach and island flavor started with vacations to visit my grandpa, “Big Russ” in the Virgin Islands. It was there that I first tasted unique flavors from locals right on the beach. I enjoy most everything about the Island way of life and have made it my mission to share that love with my community.

My adventurous spirit brought me west from St. Louis to Colorado in 2011 and my love for food came along with it. Working in the Denver food scene gave me a deep appreciation for the industry. I have always gravitated to water ever since I was a little girl spending my summers on the Missouri and Mississippi river with my family. I am excited to bring several of my passions together with this next journey, and I look forward to providing unique experiences that will ignite new passions within all our followers.
