Sunseeker 86 (2018) 'Synergy'

Crew Profiles:
Captain – Jacob Beman

Captain Jacob grew up in Chicago and left the cold weather for sunny Southern California after college. It was there that he fell in love with sailing and yachting and never looked back. After purchasing his own boat and becoming involved in several race teams, he decided to make his passion his full-time career. Jacob travelled the world to gain experience and hone his skills, working several seasons in the Mediterranean and Australia. He arrived in the Virgin Islands in 2018 and he has never looked back!

For the last four seasons, Jacob has been a Captain in the USVI and BVI, and it is his favourite place to charter and show his guests the trip of a lifetime. Last season, Jacob was the captain of S/Y Synergy in the BVI. When his same owner recently purchased the beautiful M/Y Synergy, Jacob was thrilled at the opportunity to stay with the family, and move aboard as the captain of M/Y Synergy!

He first stepped aboard yachts as a toddler and has progressively turned his passion into an established career. Working professionally across the globe and logging over 20000 miles, his experience spans everything from 20ft clippers to superyachts.
