RESPITE AT SEA features 3 guest suites, 3 with queen berths, all with full A/C and ensuite toilet and shower. Starboard forward cabin is reserved for crew.
British-born physics graduate, Sam, has worked as a full-time captain for more than a decade, accumulating thousands of miles at sea, including a transatlantic passage. He is committed to ensuring the highest level of safety, service and fun for every guest. As soon as you step on board he will help you to feel relaxed and at home. His long list of interests include BBQing, making cocktails, stargazing & talking about how stuff works (his former life was spent teaching kids in London). For fitness he enjoys water sports, especially diving & anything with a sail. Sometimes he pays the guitar, quite badly, so better not to ask him for a song.
Chef Zina is Ukrainian and grew up in the seaside town of Yalta in Crimea. She worked in the hotel business from a young age and lived in Italy before meeting Sam and then training as a yacht chef in France, England and Thailand. Guests love Zina’s kindness and her prowess in the galley, where she consistently produces beautiful and delicious meals. Her other interests include music, dancing, swimming & diving.
Sam and Zina met on holiday where they spent long romantic days alone on the beach, dreaming of a life together in the sun. They married almost immediately on Little Bay Beach, Anguilla, and hatched a plan to work together in their dream job, which they call “running a floating 5-star hotel in paradise”. They have been sailing professionally side-by-side, full-time for eight years, all over the eastern Caribbean, across the Atlantic and around much of the Mediterranean. They consider themselves very lucky to be living in beautiful places, sharing their happiness, excellent food and a good vibes with their guests.

Maggie & AaoronMy husband and I recently spent 5 nights on Respite at Sea with another couple. It was fabulous! Sam and Zina are wonderful and clearly take great pride in their careers! Zina’s food was fantastic as were Sam’s drinks! We were able to try scuba diving with Sam and absolutely loved it. We hope to be back with our kids in the future. Thank you for such a memorable adventure!!
The MyersSam & Zina were absolutely wonderful hosts! It was our first-time charting for a week and could not have picked a crew who fit us better. Sam is a focused and safe Captain who clearly knows his boat (and, how to make fantastic cocktails). Zina is an amazing Chef whose food combinations will blow your mind. Both Sam and Zina made us all feel at home right away, we were comfortable upon first setting our bare feet on their boat. There are many boats and many crews, but only one Sam and Zina…Champions!
Rob and ChrissyOutstanding experience! Respite at Sea was ideal from the layout to the very comfortable seating areas and beds. The sailing was the highlight and very stable even in higher winds and some swells.
Sam and Zina deliver an amazing level of service and Sam brings good fun and humor all day long and Zina’s cuisine was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend Respite at Sea and Sam/Zina.
