Crew Profile

Captain Syl
Syl’s journey began on the shores of the Northumberland Strait, along Canada’s Atlantic Coast, where life revolves around the sea. From an early age, he was immersed in sailing, spending nine years at his local sailing school. While racing dinghies was a thrill, what he loved most was simply being out on the water. The salty Atlantic air has always stirred something deep within him—sailing feels like second nature, awakening a sixth sense.

After an entrepreneurial career and seeing his sons off to college, Syl decided it was time to chart a new course. He pursued his passion, earning his Captain RYA Yachtmaster Certification along with all the necessary qualifications to become a professional yacht captain. Since then, he’s never looked back.

Known for his kind and generous spirit, Syl is a calm, confident, and respectful captain who loves engaging with his guests. He collaborates closely with charter guests to design custom itineraries, whether that’s sailing to a secluded beach or exploring must-see island destinations. With Syl, you’re part of the itinerary decisions—simply choose the direction, and he’ll ensure every moment is unforgettable, creating lifelong memories while sailing in the moment.



Chef Helen
Born and raised near Los Angeles in a family with a rich culinary heritage, Helen started cooking in her grandmother's kitchen at a very young age. She learned about butchery, organic gardening, and American Southwest ancestral cooking.

Family vacations consisted of camping, boating, and deep-sea fishing in Baja California, where she would catch and prepare fresh seafood for large groups of family and friends.

Helen graduated from Le Cordon Bleu French Cooking School in 2007 and continued to fine-tune her craft as a chef at Passages Malibu Addiction Treatment Center and as a chef for top NFL players at their training institute in Irvine, CA. She has prepared food for many high-profile clients and for the most discriminating palates in private estates, corporations, and clubs.

She was the Executive Chef at the Los Angeles International Airport Private Lounges, overseeing the Delta Club, Virgin Atlantic First Class, and the award-winning ("Skytrax Lounge of the Year") Star Alliance Lounge. She also served as Executive Chef at the American Express Centurion Lounge at Miami International Airport, where she worked alongside celebrity chef Michelle Bernstein.

Helen eventually combined her passions for cooking and being at sea by working as a professional yacht chef. She has worked on many yachts, cooking in various parts of the world, inspired by the adventure, the guests, the locale, and unique culinary finds. She loves what she does, and it shows.


Third Mate Liz Beal
Growing up in North Carolina, Liz was drawn to water and adventure from an early age—it was hard to pull her out of the water during family trips filled with boating and beach outings, as well as summers spent as a white-water canoe guide and camp counselor. After graduating from college in 2009, Liz pursued her dream and moved to the Virgin Islands.

In St. John, Liz honed her skills through a mosaic of opportunities in the watersports industry, ranging from scuba diving and sailing to eventually owning and operating a kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and hiking tour guide business. She spent 14 years in the Caribbean creating meaningful, fun, and safe adventures for all types of travelers. Liz continues to feel immense gratitude for the opportunity to facilitate special moments and recognizes the sacredness and joy inherent in exploring a new place or learning a new skill.

Fueled by black coffee and bad jokes, Liz is excited and motivated to work with a high-caliber team and use her skills and experience to build the best charter experience possible.
