Captain John Yoxall
Originally from England, John has embraced a truly international lifestyle, having lived in seven different countries. His love for sailing blossomed while studying at the University of Toronto, leading him to transition from a corporate career to professional sailing. John has expertly navigated yachts across the Caribbean and the stunning waters of Greece.
In addition to his passion for sailing, John is a wine enthusiast with extensive experience in the wine industry. He once managed Canada’s largest wine auction and holds a sommelier certification, allowing him to expertly pair exquisite wines with the chef’s culinary creations.

Chef Bryny Van Wyk
Bryny grew up along the beautiful coastlines of South Africa, as a passionate surfer, chasing waves at dawn and spending countless hours in the water. This ignited a lifelong love and deep connection for the ocean.
Blending her love for the sea with the joy of cooking meals on the water. “There’s something magical about preparing food while being surrounded by endless blue, where the oceans energy fuels my creativity”
Later in life Bryny discovered the thrill of dinghy sailing, a new way to explore the natural forces of wind and water. This experience sparked a deep passion for sailing and navigating the open seas. Constantly inspired by its power, beauty and unpredictability.
As a surfer, sailor & chef every wave, journey & meal is a reminder of life’s simple, yet profound pleasures. “The ocean is not just my playground, but my home”

Taking us to snorkeling locations with so much to see and it felt safe to swim there. It was perfect. Even though Captain John was very knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. JulieAnna’s sublime cooking and presentation is top on my feedback when I’m recounting my trips highlights to my friends. She truly made this an amazing experience. -JD

Quite Simply The Best
Our captain John Yoxall was quite simply the best skipper we've ever sailed with. The safety of his guests was always priority #1 throughout the charter… We came to realize that John considers one of his roles as skipper to be Ambassador to the BVI for his guests, a role he performed beyond expectations… We had an informal talk every morning about what to do that day, including John's wonderfully entertaining stories about the history of the BVI. His stories were so much fun that one of our guests promptly began videotaping him…In terms of drinks, not only was the wine and beer we requested available, but John mixed up a different, delicious Caribbean concoction for us every night, all of which were new to us. In fact, it's safe to say that John's talents on the grille were exceeded only by his bartending skills. His wine selections were well received by our group, especially the reds. And after dinner, port was served every night, our favorite! Vic & Marnie S

Simply unbelievable!
