Will grew up on the water spending summers sailing, fishing, water skiing and wake boarding in Ireland. He began working in the sailing industry at the young age of 16 as an instructor. Each year working his way up the ranks gaining the skills to eventually start teaching learn-to-sail holidays in Greece. He then moved on to be a charter skipper while studying for his degree in Computing. At the time, sailing was a fun summer job. He never thought of it as a full time career until Anna joined him in Croatia.

The dream of working in the Caribbean formed quickly between them but they decided to finish their studies and gain experience in respective fields before taking the plunge. Will took a job as a Graphic Designer for a PR company in London which really taught him what kind of life he wanted to live. He appreciates living on the water everyday and knows how lucky he is to do so! He loves delivering holidays of a lifetime to guests, with many of them becoming lifetime friends.

Anna grew up in Dublin, Ireland. After graduating University she went into education and became a teacher for children with special educational needs. However, her love for cooking kept growing, when Will began working in the charter industry she jumped at the opportunity to go with him and become a chef on board.

Anna always dreamed of attending the world renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School to expand her culinary skills, which finally became a reality in 2021. The intensive 12 week course taught so many new skills and gave her invaluable experience. Anna also studied cooking further last summer at the Ashburton Yacht Chef course. She loves learning new techniques that she can bring into the galley. Her biggest passion is creating food that brings joy to guests and makes their holiday that little bit more special.

Alicia grew up in Sweden, spending much of her childhood outdoors- on the lake, in the forest or skiing in the mountains. Her genuine interest for helping people is what inspired her to pursue a service centered career. After completing her studies, she moved to the United States for three years, working as an au pair and exploring the country. She left knowing that she wanted to keep challenging herself and exploring more of the world. By chance, Alicia secured a job in the British Virgin Islands where she managed a busy bar for three years, while gaining valuable yachting experience in her free time. The transition to yachting felt like a natural next step- where her biggest interest in providing an extraordinary and personal service is possible in a more refined setting.
Alicia takes pride in creating memorable and seamless experiences- whether by crafting a great cocktail, offering a listening ear, or ensuring that even the smallest details are perfectly executed. She provides a warm, genuine and detail oriented service where guests can fully relax and trust that they’re about to have a trip of a lifetime, sailing around the BVI and enjoying themselves to the fullest.
