CAPTAIN BRYAN & CHEF/ MATE PATRICIA (CURRENT CREW)
First photo. Bryan was born and raised in Jupiter, Florida, where his love for the ocean began. As a teenager, he would spend his days with his friends at the beach, often free diving just off the shore or near the Jupiter Inlet for lobsters. After graduation, Bryan spent a few years working in the hospitality industry, in various country clubs and restaurants, but always yearned for more. At 21, he got a job as a deckhand on board a charter boat in St. Croix, USVI, and never looked back. Eventually, working his way up to becoming a well-respected catamaran sailing Captain. He is an avid adventurer who enjoys shark diving, sailing, hiking, and anything to do with the ocean. Bryan’s laid-back but charismatic personality seems to be the perfect combo for entertaining and providing an excellent experience on board and he has a long list of great reviews from guests who were able to call Bryan their captain.
Patti grew up in Jupiter, Florida, where she worked in the hospitality industry for several years at numerous restaurants in the South Florida area. In 2016, she met Bryan at a beach party and they immediately hit it off, spending the next several years traveling throughout the states and even living on St.Croix in the USVI for a year. They eventually were offered a dream job in 2020 on a charter catamaran in the USVI, and have worked in tandem since then. Patti enjoys cooking all kinds of cuisines and can easily work around any dietary restrictions she might have. On her off time, she enjoys going to the beach to read a book or paddleboard and also finds happiness in finding new recipes to try out for future guests.
CAPTAIN KYLE & CHEF/MATE TILLY (2026/27 CREW)
Kyle and Tilly have been running luxury charters for the last 4 years and bring a wealth of experience, energy and fun onboard. With over 60 charters around the Virgin Islands and time chartering in the Windward Isles, Scotland and even Tonga together, Kyle and Tilly know how to make your vacation truly unforgettable.
Kyle was brought up on the wild west coast of Scotland and spent every moment on the sea, whether that be teaching sailing at his local club, catching the ferry to school every day or kayaking round the coastline he calls home. After a summer spent teaching sailing in France, he came back and met Tilly; they quickly realized they shared the same passion for adventure and the ocean and spent two years working and exploring the Highlands and Islands. After an especially cold and wet winter, they jumped on a boat and sailed across the Atlantic towards the sunshine.
Tilly was always drawn to fresh food, finding joy in growing produce and creating dishes that champion local and seasonal flavours. Most of her professional life has been spent in the hospitality industry, both front and back of house, cooking in cafes, restaurants and for one summer in a tent in the English countryside! After graduating university, she moved to a remote Scottish island where she met Kyle. Although Tilly had plenty of experience driving power boats, sailing was a different story, and her first sailing trip was crossing the Atlantic Ocean with Kyle in 2021. Completely hooked, they started chartering on a 50ft catamaran, before moving onto a larger vessel and then taking on a brand new 51ft lagoon which they delivered from Annapolis to the Virgin Islands together. After a break back home in Scotland, they set out on another adventure, running vacations in the Pacific nation of Tonga on a catamaran and eco island retreat.
As a captain in the Virgin Islands, Scotland and Tonga, Kyle is known for his level-headed attitude, commitment to creating the best vacation ever and his slight Scottish cheekiness! Charters with Kyle never have a dull moment, whether that be non-stop activities or finding the calmest bay with no other boats around to simply float and be. Tilly prides herself on making real connections with everyone that steps onboard through good food, special moments and her infectious laughter. Often found up early making homemade sourdough or sneaking in an early morning snorkel, she is our onboard marine biologist after all! Kyle and Tilly are delighted to now be chartering in the Virgin Islands, where their career began, and can’t wait to welcome you aboard.
