Meet Sasha and Tara Bouis, owners of PiZZA Pi, the Caribbean's first (and only) pizza boat. Sasha had spent years working on Wall Street. Tara was an elementary school teacher based in Indiana. The two met in the British Virgin Islands, where Tara taught summer scuba lessons. For 8 years, they operated private chartered yacht business together.
