Hi I’m Kayleigh and I specialize in matching clients with the perfect all-inclusive crewed yacht. Born and raised in the BVI, and having lived here all of my life, the BVI is a part of me. I have been in the hospitality industry in the BVI all my life, starting with helping out at Horizon’s front desk during my school breaks. Since I left school in 2007 I’ve experienced all levels of the industry. I've cleaned heads, made beds, polished the stainless, set up the kids camp at the Bitter End Yacht Club, managed villas, private cheffing - I've done it all! With this experience I can offer outstanding customer care to my clients and the opportunities I get to engage with different yachts and crews means that I wouldn't offer you a yacht that I wouldn't want to charter myself! The BVI is one of the most amazing sailing destinations in the world and it brings me joy to see so many people enjoy our shores every year! If you're a first timer, this a great place to start sailing, all of the islands are line of site which means you can sail for as little or as long as you like. If you’re new to sailing, then perhaps consider chartering an all-inclusive crewed yacht first - you will be well looked after! For the seasoned sailor, it never gets old! You build relationships with people along the way and the faces never change. The BVI isn’t just a vacation destination, it often feels like you're coming home.
We believe that the Horizon difference isn’t just about our yachts, but the people who prepare them, maintain them, and warmly welcome you aboard. It’s this commitment to excellence and personal connection that keeps our guests coming back year after year.

Operations & Sailing School Manager | Since 2021
Hi, I’m Cara, the Manager of Horizon Sailing School. Originally from London and raised in Italy, I’ve been sailing in BVI waters with Horizon since I was a child. Over the years, my passion for sailing grew into a career, and I’m proud to now oversee Horizon’s Sailing School operations and instructor team.
I hold ASA 201, 203, 204, 205, and 214 certifications, as well as a Yachtmaster Offshore qualification. In 2022, I was honored as an ASA Outstanding Instructor of the Year—an award that recognizes the top 1% of ASA instructors worldwide. More recently, I earned my ASA Instructor Examiner qualification, becoming one of only about 20 worldwide with this distinction. This allows me not only to mentor students but also to qualify and inspire new instructors, helping set the standard for Horizon’s Sailing School.
While I’m now shore-based managing the Sailing School, I bring years of practical experience sailing throughout the BVI, the wider Caribbean, and internationally—from yacht deliveries across the Atlantic to racing at Cowes Week in the UK. I’m also fluent in English, French, and Italian, and bring a background as a former British National Alpine Ski Team member, PADI diver, and qualified personal trainer.
At Horizon, my focus is on ensuring every student and instructor has the tools, training, and support to succeed. My approach has always been about safety, fun, and growth, and I’m passionate about sharing that with everyone who comes through our school.

I’m from the UK but since starting working on yachts at 18 I haven’t looked back. I have spent my time on boats from South Africa to the Mediterranean and most recently, the BVI.
I am RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualified, completing my training in the UK and in South Africa. My resume includes work on multiple superyachts in the Mediterranean, so I’m no stranger to excellent service, an Atlantic crossing, which gave me plenty of time to fine-tune my sailing skills and Captain on a 22m yacht based in Monaco which I safely navigated across France, Spain and Italy.
I have a range of skills from yacht maintenance to water sports and I pride myself on always giving guests a great experience in all aspects of their trip.

Hi there, I am Captain Royce! Come with me and embark on an adventure to remember. I am lucky to be born and raised here on the beautiful Island of Tortola. Living on the north side of the island and growing up listening to the sounds of the waves, I’ve always felt a calling to the water. Naturally, I pursued a career path that allowed me to chase the rhythm of waves. I am RYA Yacht-Master Offshore certified, completing my training in the United Kingdom and in the BVI. I have numerous years of experience on and off the docks and within the customer service industry. My number one goal as skipper is to provide a worthwhile experience here in the BVI or aboard adorned in safety as well as providing my expertise in high quality seamanship. As a local it fills me with pride to be your skipper taking you island hopping in my backyard. So get your mind and body ready for the vacation and an adventure of a lifetime.

Captain, ASA Instructor & RYA Powerboat Instructor
Hi, I’m Bethany! I grew up in the UK and have always been happiest on the water. I started my career in watersports, teaching dinghy sailing, windsurfing, and paddleboarding, before moving into larger yachts after finishing school. Over the years, I’ve taught a range of RYA courses including Level 1 and 2 Sailing, Competent Crew, Day Skipper, and Powerboat and Jet Ski training. I’m also an RYA Yachtmaster and Cruising Instructor, and spent time teaching in the Solent before chasing my dream of living and sailing in the Caribbean.
I first came to the BVI last season and loved it so much I couldn’t stay away! Now, as an ASA Instructor teaching up to ASA 114, I get to share my passion for sailing with guests and help create unforgettable, tailor-made trips. When I’m not on the water, you’ll probably find me swimming, snorkeling, or enjoying the quirky charm of Jost Van Dyke.

Hi, I’m Noah. Born and raised in the beautiful British Virgin Islands, I’ve been sailing these waters since I was 8 years old. After completing high school in the UK, I earned my RYA Yacht Master certification and came home to carve out my career as a local Captain.

In addition to skippering charters, I also run Horizon's water taxi service aboard my Sunseeker 38 “Athena”, offering fast, stylish, and comfortable transfers throughout the islands.
Whether you're here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, I look forward to showing you the best of the BVI from the helm.
