CAPTAIN
Hugo O'Kelly
Hugo is a seasoned sailor who has been captivated by water from a young age.
He grew up in England, in a small county just outside of London and spent most holidays by the seaside of Cornwall. At the tender age of seven, Hugo discovered his passion for sailing, racing lasers and 49er's while at school. Later in his youth he became an instructor for this.
Hugo's passion for sailing and the ocean grew stronger after school, so he headed to the South of France to work on luxury Superyachts. At 18, he was selected and sponsored to race across the Atlantic being the youngest crew in the fleet. This is when Hugo realized his true calling. He completed his Yacht Masters amongst other qualifications with the dream of becoming a captain.
Hugo has at present, worked as Skipper and 1st Mate on luxury yachts of up to 100ft. From sailing charters to sea-life safari tours - he's been sailing in some of the most beautiful and exotic locations around the world. After completing his second crossing to Antigua, he is currently obtaining his Ocean Master.
When he's not at work, Hugo is an avid water-sports enthusiast and instructor.
He loves to coach waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wake-surfing. Surfing, diving and fishing are also just a few of his many hobbies. Whether on the water or on land, Hugo is always seeking new adventures and finding ways to connect with the sea.

Reviews
Thank you both for making this the most incredible week. You truly exceeded all expectations. The itinerary was perfect - such a great variety of activities and the flexibility to change things up as we went - for instance, "Hugo, we can't get to Ivan's, please come help us!" (Ha). Your hospitality and PATIENCE with us was most appreciated.
Judith - the meals were spectacular! The presentation and variety - always something to look forward to. The attention to every detail didn't go unnoticed.
Above all - we truly enjoyed your company. You two are quite the duo! Thank you again for taking the best care of us!
Thank you both for such an incredible adventure! This has truly been the trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget! Hugo, thank you for planning such a wonderful itinerary for us and keeping the whole crew safe and having a blast! Dash may have asked to fish a dozen times while Hunter was asking for the sea scooters at the same time and you never lost your mind! Judith, your cooking was incredible and better than any restaurant on island - everything was fresh and beautifully prepared and thoughtful. Thank you for taking the time to make cookies with the kids, they will always remember that! The music and cocktails were always a hit and will be greatly missed! Please come to Seattle to visit soon!!
We have been overwhelmed with your hospitality this past week. J-Dog - the food as out of this world. So many unique flavors and presentations. We were amazed at how well you accommodated our gluten & dairy free granddaughter. And to also go out of your way to help us make our beach barbecue real - thank you!
Hugo - Thank you for the smooth sailing, how you 'cleaned up' after all of our spills with a smile, and making our happy hours 'happy' in so many ways with all your special drink concoctions. Thank you for making an effort to hunt for my lost sunglasses. That was above and beyond and I knew if you couldn't find them, nobody could. Thanks for taking the kids for their 'joy rides' and taking us out of your way to Sandy Spit. We created so many memories - not the least of which was our celebration dinner that you helped us arrange.
We are so grateful that we met you both and had your as our captain and chef. You are the best and we will always recommend you to friends who would like to take a BVI adventure! Take care and thanks for all your efforts. They made a difference.
Thank you so much for an epic vacation! We really appreciate you both - from delicious food and jamming playlists, to the unforgettable adventures, y'all went above and beyond!
Judith - you are so talented, every meal was amazing. Your attention to detail and creativity shined in every dish. Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine!
Hugo - thank you for saving us on numerous occasions! Your kindness and patience are much appreciated. The sailing was such a highlight, we all learned so much! I promise we will never forget what you taught us!
Thank you for memories that will last a lifetime!
WOW!! We were so lucky to have you for our captain and chef. Not only did you go far above and beyond to make our trip so wonderful, you did so with great patience and a sense of humor. Hugo, you were so kind and have taught us all we now know about sailing! We promise to remember it! You also treated us to the BEST cocktails!
Judith, you are an incredibly talented master chef! Everything you make is delicious and you make the most wonderful and flavorful dishes that i never thought possible on a boat! Thank you for feeding us so well!
Thank you both for making our trip so special!! Until next time!
This has truly been the trip of a lifetime! Exceeding all expectations in every way! What a treat to be pampered by you both. The food was beyond delicious with such beautifully presentations and careful attention to the details - and the cocktails - WOW!
We had a blast on our adventures this week! Hugo - thank you for coming to our rescue....more than once and for your patience all week! We so appreciate you both catering to our every whim and making the magic happen!
it was so fun to spend 9 days on the Lola with you both, we loved learning to sail!
Wishing you both all the best and many many more fun adventures!!
We are a group that has done a lot of boating, on our own boats and charters, and can say that this was an exceptionally great week on the water. The boat is terrific, but you two are the 'secret sauce'. You are so talented - individually and together and have such fun and friendly personalities. I can't believe you are so young! I felt perfectly confident in your abilities.
We loved your choice of activities and meals. We are sad to have the week end. We are counting on our paths crossing again!!
Thank you for such a dreamy week aboard the Lola! Every single detail has been perfect. We appreciate your professionalism, your humor, your attention, and your willingness to join in all of our shenanigans! We have been so spoiled this week and are wondering how we can possibly go back to our landlocked lives. Thank you for everything!!
More than a trip of a lifetime, the tailored experience and food will be unmatched without you.
Forever burned in our memories will be snorkeling, beautifully displayed tasty food, sunsets, night skies, fast storms, lounging rooftop hangouts and dance parties!
Thank you just isn't enough! You are much adored!
The boat (Lola) was wonderful, clean, comfortable and just the right amount of space for everyone. We loved sitting on the bow or upon the flybridge - especially while underway. We appreciated learning more about what we were seeing and hearing about your experiences.
We have traveled extensively, including previous catamaran charters in the BVI, and this has been a family favorite. You made everything easy thanks to your impeccable organization. We had so much fun and hope to travel with you again soon!
There was a young bloke from Suffolk
Who brought Christmas crackers like St. Nick
In every port and bay and bight
He would say, "Jalright"
No better sea captain could you pick
To Judith
There once was a woman from Holland
She didn't want to live on land
So she took to the sea
And she cooked duck confit
With her, no better time could be spent
To our wonderful Lola crew,
Thank you (times a million!) for an absolutely unforgettable adventure. The food was astounding, the sailing was delightful, the company was sweet. We are so grateful for all your hard work. Thank you for being part of our family.
Judith - thank you for making meals that could suit royalty, and accommodating our preferences. Hugo - thank you for putting together a WONDERFUL itinerary for this week.
This trip was a blessing in so many ways. The adventure, sight, food and memories made were some of the highlights expected coming into this trip. You two were put in our paths for a reason. The love and passion that you showed with us was amazing. Tiffany and I are blessed in so many ways, but you two have enriched those blessings tenfold this week. We have shared so many laughs and laughed so hard we cried. You two are so much fun to be around. Our group has prayed for both of you our entire trips and we will continue to pray for you, your safety and that you will continue to share your love and passion with others.
Hugo, your knowledge of the boat, islands and local culture amazed us.
Judith, Your ability to prepare the most amazing meals in a short period of time in a small kitchen is truly inspirational.
The both of you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you both for sharing your love and passion with us.
Love, Jon + Tiffany
The boat is amazing, the sights seen are amazing, but…. Hugo + Judith’s beautiful souls are what made the trip! There aren’t enough words to describe our week! Too many laughs + memories to describe our week! Too many laughs + memories to describe. Thank you to the best crew around! Love you guys!!! The Yarbrough’s
Ps. See you in Texas
You have given us so many memories, we loved breakfast on the beach. The amazing stops/ports just when we thought we had a favorite stop, you surprised us. The water sports and snorkeling, the meals were amazing. Not having a worry in the world makes a vacation. Everything was taken care of. The ice coffees and cocktails to start the day and end it. Thank you for making this trip the best trip ever. Thank you for keeping our family safe. You’re the best you always have a place to stay in the States.

It is hard to put into words what an amazing experience this has been. Truly a once in a lifetime experience enjoying some of the most beautiful of god’s creations on an outstanding boat, with the best crew we could have even imagined. We are so impressed with how talented and professional you have both been throughout the entire week. The two of you and all your hard work added sooo much to our vacation. We are so grateful that we got to spend this time together making such wonderful memories that we can cherish for years to come. We pray that god blesses you in all your future endeavors and adventures.

thank you both for such an amazing week. Of all the trips we have been on, this one is at the top! Your graciousness and hospitality are first class. Having y’all hang out with us on and off the boat really make it a good time. This is our happy place and you both hold a place in our hearts and memories here. There are countless laughs and memories that made this week! Your knowledge and willingness to explain things about sailing is very appreciated Hugo. Also your sense of humor and cutting up with us was great. Judith, your cooking and recipes were all over the top. Definitely 5 star meal.s You gave me some new ideas for dishes to make for Traci and our kids!
Oh yeah, can’t forget about the cocktail of the day, they were all amazing! And thank you both for playing five second rule with us. It was so much fun!! Sorry we had to beat you both at Tipsy’s on the ring game, hahaha!
We pray for gods blessing and favor for both of you in your future ventures.
