Laura was born and raised in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 30-something years ago (she has stopped counting) Cooking and the sea were both an integral part of her early life.
Growing up with fresh local cuisine at her disposal, she has learned to prepare food from the greatest cooks around, her grandmother and mother. As she has grown and sampled, dabbled and researched cuisines, it comes as an enjoyable ongoing learning experience for her. Sailing also runs through her blood; her grandfather captained schooners sailing in the Caribbean which explains her continuing love of sailing.
She has attained jobs as a cook or crew on charter yachts since 2004, mainly the Caribbean chain from the BVI to Grenada, not only for the experience and to build her portfolio, but just for the sheer love of doing it. Her easy-going, pleasant, witty disposition, combined with her attention to detail are just some of the attributes that continue to make her guests feel comfortable, relaxed and appreciative of their time spent with her.

Captain & ASA Instructor
Brian Mascoll is an ASA-certified instructor qualified to teach courses from the basic keelboat sailing course (ASA101) through to the Bareboat cruising course (ASA104) and the Catamaran cruising course (ASA 114). From St.Vincent and the Grenadines, Brian grew up in a small fishing village. Being so close to the waterfront, he would spend most of his free time at the beach, snorkelling and spearfishing and being around boats with his older brother and dad. He also got involved with helping the local fishermen, and this is where he developed his love of the ocean. Brian became one of the youngest divemasters in the region and then ventured on to achieve his sailing certifications and to work as a professional skipper. Never stopping, Brian then went on to achieve his ASA instructor qualifications and now works for us as either a skipper or ASA instructor.

Guy Hadley is an RYA and ASA certified instructor qualified to teach courses from the basic keelboat sailing course (ASA101) through to the Bareboat cruising course (ASA104) and the Catamaran cruising course (ASA 114)
Born in St.Vincent, Guy grew up on the water, swimming, fishing and being on boats with his family. This is where his love of sailing and all things water came from. His family owned a speed boat as well as a 50ft Beneteau so hours were spent on the water learning new skills.
At the age of 20, Guy decided to pursue his passion for sailing and travelled to the UK to achieve his sailing certifications in the Isle of Wight. He became RYA Yachtmaster certified and chose to become a professional skipper back home in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, using the family boat “PUKA” to operate charters throughout the Grenadines.
After years on the water, Guy became interested in sharing his skills by becoming a sailing instructor, working for a variety of charter companies throughout the islands. His time with these companies included sailing further to Trinidad, Martinique and St. Lucia as well as exploring his home waters.
With over 20 years’ experience of sailing in the Grenadines, Guy knows the islands inside out. He enjoys meeting new persons, teaching and sharing his knowledge of the beautiful SVG!
Whether you're looking to learn, wanting the support of an experienced sailor onboard, or the luxury of a fully crewed yacht, we offer flexible, personalized options across the world's most breathtaking cruising grounds.
When you arrive at the office, please have your passports ready for copying – we will return these to you. We will then undertake the paperwork in terms of taking the Hull Damage Waiver, Security Deposit, and any provisioning payment that has been ordered in advance. You will be given the KIT BAG, which contains charts, binoculars, and safety equipment.
We will then undertake a chart briefing in the restaurant area, where you will be shown the white customer folder and will read through this with our customer service manager. After the Chart Briefing, you will receive your Boat Briefing. It is a good idea to save time to send some of the crew to the supermarket for provisioning while the briefing is going on.
You’ll be glad to hear you may board the yacht at noon (charter contracts start and finish at noon). Allow at least a couple of hours to complete the chart and boat brief procedure before you are ready to leave the dock. If you have arranged a sleep aboard prior to your charter start, then boarding is at 5 pm and your charter will start at noon the following day.
If your arrival is scheduled outside of hours, we will arrange for one of our taxi drivers to meet you and escort you to your yacht. We will then commence the briefing with you the following day at noon.
Since some flights arrive too late in the day for you to start your charter, where possible, we offer the option of a sleep aboard on your first night at an additional charge. Boarding is after 5.00pm, and the yacht will be prepared for your late arrival. One of our staff will meet you at the yacht to go over the basic sleep aboard procedures, which includes the operation of lights, heads, stove, and point out shoreside facilities etc.
