Read Bio
For more than four decades, Castaways Travel has helped travelers explore the world with confidence, curiosity, and connection. What began as a couple’s vision from Donna (aka Champagne) and Jim, two passionate travelers who turned their love of nude exploration into a trusted travel brand, has grown into a company known for expertise, authenticity, and service.
From luxury lifestyle cruises to clothing-optional resorts, Castaways built its reputation on relationships, matching travelers with mild to wild experiences that only dreams are made of. Our story is rooted in warmth, trust, and the belief that travel should always feel personal.
What began as a couple’s passion continues to thrive today, guided by a new generation of leadership and vision.
As Castaways Travel moves into its next chapter, Jennifer and husband Chris Mccoy continue the legacy built by her mother and stepfather, honoring their decades of experience while bringing her own modern perspective to the brand. Her goal is simple: to keep the welcoming, personal spirit of Castaways alive while evolving to meet the needs of today’s travelers.
Under her leadership, Castaways embraces innovation and connection, leveraging technology, partnerships, and a deep understanding of what travelers truly value. Whether you’re planning a luxury lifestyle cruise, a couples-only getaway, or an all-inclusive escape, Jennifer and the Castaways team are here to craft every detail with care.
With lifelong roots in the business and a genuine love for exploring the world, Jennifer is committed to ensuring that every journey with Castaways reflects the same values that started it all, authentic experiences, personalized service, and the freedom to love without limits.
At Castaways Travel, we’ve been helping people find their tribe since 1984

Life happens, we get it. If your plans change, our flexible transfer program lets you move your booking to another qualifying lifestyle vacation in our portfolio, or even a vanilla getaway booked through Castaways Travel, giving you added peace of mind.
We proudly honor those who serve. Military members and first responders receive exclusive discounts, and every Castaways client enjoys complimentary roundtrip airport transfers to resorts at no extra cost. It’s our way of saying thank you.

Turning Bucket Lists Into Boarding Passes
For more than 15 years, I’ve been helping travelers turn dream vacations into unforgettable memories. From hosting adults only cruises and group trips to exploring six of the world’s seven continents, I’ve experienced many of the destinations I recommend firsthand. Antarctica is the only one still on my bucket list.
When I’m not planning incredible getaways, you’ll usually find me enjoying South Florida with my family, scuba diving, exploring new places, or dreaming about the next adventure. My husband and I were even married underwater, so it’s safe to say travel and the ocean are a big part of who I am. My favorite part of this job is helping clients experience those unforgettable wow moments that become memories for a lifetime.
Your Vacation Matchmaker
One Bliss Cruise changed everything.
I’ve been cruising my entire life, but one Bliss Cruise introduced me to an incredible community that completely changed my trajectory. Now, I love helping others discover that same unforgettable experience.
You’ll usually find me on the dance floor. I’m a social butterfly at heart and have earned the reputation as the unofficial matchmaker, bringing couples together, turning strangers into lifelong friends, and helping everyone feel like they belong.
I can’t wait to help you find your perfect getaway and welcome you into the amazing community that made me feel at home from day one.
Your Story Starts Here
I’ve spent more than 15 years helping trade everyday stress for sunshine, ocean views, and unforgettable memories. I’m the person who obsesses over the little details so you don’t have to. Finding the perfect room, the perfect resort, or that hidden gem that makes you say, “How did you know about this?” is my favorite part of the job.
Lifestyle travel has a special place in my heart because it’s about so much more than the destination. It’s about relaxing, reconnecting, making new friends, and being completely yourself. My husband and I love exploring these cruises and resorts together, so when I make a recommendation, it’s based on firsthand experience.
Whether you’re planning your very first lifestyle vacation or you’re already part of the community, I’ll make sure every detail is handled with care, discretion, and lots of excitement for the adventure ahead.
Helping you find your happy place
I’ve been turning vacation dreams into reality since right after high school, took a brief detour while life happened, and happily found my way back to the travel industry in 2014. After helping travelers from our Texas office, I traded cowboy boots for flip flops and returned to Florida to be closer to family. These days, nothing makes me happier than helping people discover the kind of vacation they’ll still be talking about long after they unpack.
The overwater bungalows at Palafitos at Maroma Beach will always have my heart, while Couples Sans Souci in Ocho Rios is one of my favorite places to completely unwind. Having personally experienced many of the resorts we offer, I can help you understand the little differences that don’t always show up in a brochure but can make all the difference in your vacation.
When I’m not planning incredible getaways, you’ll probably find me clipping into a Peloton ride, taking Molly, my spirited Jack Russell, for a walk, spending time with my grandbabies, or enjoying a relaxing day at the beach. Those simple moments remind me exactly why vacations matter so much. They give us time to reconnect, recharge, and make memories with the people we love.
I can’t wait to help you find your next favorite destination.
The calm behind the storm
Every great vacation needs someone behind the scenes making sure all the pieces come together, and that’s where I come in! As Castaways Travel’s Chief Chaos Coordinator, I keep the wheels turning so our travelers can focus on making memories. Whether it’s organizing group details, solving last minute challenges, or keeping our Pleasure Planners on track, I thrive on turning organized chaos into unforgettable vacations.
I found my passion for travel in 2019 after spending decades in specialty and luxury retail, and I’ve never looked back. My favorite part of what I do is helping create experiences where people can truly relax, reconnect, and be themselves, whether that’s on a lifestyle cruise, at an adults only resort, or somewhere completely off the beaten path.
When I’m not keeping the Castaways crew sailing smoothly, you’ll probably find me cheering on my son at a baseball tournament, visiting my Aggie at Texas A&M, or dreaming up the next adventure. After all, behind every unforgettable vacation is just a little organized chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
If it floats, chances are I’ve been on it.
I’ve spent more than 30 years helping people find their happy place, and if it floats, chances are I’ve been on it. As the second-generation owner of Castaways Travel, I grew up in this business and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
Desire and Bliss Cruises will always have a special place in my heart because they bring together amazing people, unforgettable experiences, and friendships that last long after the cruise is over.
When I’m not planning clothing optional vacations, I’m probably giving belly rubs to Lilly, my four-legged first mate, dreaming about my next cruise, or convincing someone that “just one more vacation” is always the best idea.
My favorite part of this job is watching people step away from everyday life, reconnect with each other, and discover a community where they can truly be themselves. Nothing makes me happier than welcoming clients back year after year because, once you’re part of the Castaways family, you’re family for life.
