Crew

Captain: Kyle Mealand (28)

Qualifications

Kyle was brought up on the wild west coast of Scotland and spent every moment on the sea, whether that be teaching sailing at his local club, catching the ferry to school every day or kayaking round the coast line he calls home. After a summer spent teaching sailing in France he came back and met Tilly, they quickly realized they shared the same passion for adventure and the ocean and spent two years working and exploring the Highlands and Islands. After an especially cold and wet winter they jumped on a boat and sailed across the Atlantic towards the sunshine.

Over the past 3+ years, Bryan has honed his skills as a captain, navigating the Caribbean seas with ease. His laid-back demeanor and infectious enthusiasm create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on board. Whether it's shark diving, sailing, or simply soaking up the sun, Bryan's adventurous spirit ensures that every charter is a unique experience. His commitment to providing exceptional service is evident in the countless positive reviews from satisfied guests.

Chef and First Mate: Tilly Painter Jones (32)

Tilly was always drawn to fresh food, finding joy in growing produce and creating dishes that champion local and seasonal flavours. Most of her professional life has been spent in the hospitality industry, both front and back of house, cooking in cafes, restaurants and for one summer a tent in the English countryside! After graduating university she moved to a remote Scottish island where she met Kyle. Although Tilly had plenty of experience driving power boats, sailing was a different story, and her first sailing trip was crossing the Atlantic ocean with Kyle in 2021. Completely hooked, they started chartering on a 50ft catamaran, before moving onto a larger vessel and then taking on a brand new 51ft lagoon which they delivered from Annapolis to the Virgin Islands together. After a break back home in Scotland they set out on another adventure, running vacations in the Pacific nation of Tonga on a catamaran and eco island retreat.
