MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: JAMES ELLWOOD
CHEF: ELLIE ARCHER
James, hails from England and has always had a love for the water.
This love took its first official steps when he achieved his PADI Junior Open Water Scuba Diver at age 10, progressing on to the professional PADI Divemaster he is today.
In 2015, James took up sailing at the Hartlepool Yacht Club, spending a great deal of time cruising the North Sea aboard the Black Diamond of Durham and partaking in numerous Tall Ship regattas.
In 2018 James became a RYA Yachtmaster and began his career as a professional captain.
Running vacations in the Mediterranean, James has taken guests on charter in Spain, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Italy and Montenegro. James has also undertaken many ocean deliveries, enjoying the tranquility of spending continuous weeks at sea.
More recently James has enjoyed the sailing and diving lifestyle that the Caribbean has to offer. He is committed to delivering that “awe and wonder” experience to all those that come aboard making sure they have a truly unforgettable vacation!
Having grown up in Australia, Ellie has always lived a life of adventure in the outdoors. She fondly recalls the many weekends of hikes and camping her friends and family would go on, and the adjoining activities such as kayaking and rock climbing that would occur.
Since childhood, Ellie always had a passion for showing love through food. Whether that meant bringing people together through a shared bite, or perhaps dropping off a sweet treat to brighten someone’s day, she knew how much a meal could mean to people. After a few years of travelling the world, Ellie, or known affectionately as “Archie” by her cheffing peers, decided to pursue her commercial cookery and patisserie qualifications. This led her to work for some of the most renowned restaurant groups and cafés in Melbourne, where her skills were able to exponentially skyrocket.
After having worked on yachts in both Europe and the Caribbean previously, Ellie knew it was her calling to come back to where she was able to combine her two loves of cooking and outdoor adventure. She loves welcoming guests on board and providing the best curated experience, not only cooking for guests but also taking them on water and onshore adventures. On charter, Ellie loves nothing more than to see clients genuinely enjoying themselves under her care, and understands that it's the small details that really make a trip memorable. You’ll wake with a sense of excitement, and end the day with a full belly and a mind full of memories.
With her and James’ enthusiasm and knowledge, they know that after a week with them their guests will leave having just experienced one of the best weeks of their lives.

Detail and Grace
Three Roberts and an Audrey can't express enough thanks to both of you for a WONDERFUL vacation. Expert piloting and exquisite food only start to describe the attention to detail and grace which you brought us this week.
You both have a berth in our home if you ever make it to New York!
Guest Review to Broker
I wanted to reach out and just say how much we enjoyed having Finlay and Rose as our captain and chef.
I cannot say enough about the dynamic and positive, fun atmosphere they created for us. the food was amazing and the trip was an absolute blast. They really enjoy what they do and it shows.
I would highly recommend them to anyone and would request that they be our crew on ouyr next BVI adventure.
Time Spent Planning The Best Week Ever!
Thank you so much for such an amazing trip! Thank you so much for all the time you have spent planning the best week ever (again!). The food was always amazing and I can't wait to come back and spend another week with you!!! Next time I think we need to put a limit on the magical elixers. I couldn't think of a better crew for my first time in the BVI's and I can't wait to come again.
You've Done It Again!
You have done it again. Another perfect week. We love our time with you guys and look forward to coming aboard again and again! You guys are the absolute best and are now grateful to call you friends
AMAZING
Thanks you for the best rip ever. Period.
First off, the food YUMMMMM!! I'm sorry I didn't beat my pancake eating record again. Thank you for going out of your way to make this week as magical as it could be. The snorkeling was AMAZING. As my first time ever going to the BVI's it sure was the best it could ever be. the sailing was so much fun because we could just relax and like an hour later we were in the most calm and beautiful places. Also, the sea scooters were the most fun things I have done. I could not stop playing. Your new boat is amazing, the layout is different but we love it.
thank you too for going out of you way to make the scuba dives happen and getting all of us set up.
Priceless!
All the planning and hours, days, weeks and months of your sweat that goes into making one week for us perfect will never go unnoticed by our family. Being with the two of you is icing on the cake! The food, the experience and the ability for our family to enjoy one another is priceless.
Our family only has a few more vacation weeks until our girls go to college. there is a reason we wanted to be with you again! We are forever grateful to you!

Thank you!
One of the best weeks of my life!
Magical is the word that comes to mind when I think about our week. It was truly magical. You took care of everything and my experience was amazing.
Thank you, thank you for making our week one of the best weeks of my life!
Perfect charter - You are both so kind to accommodate our every request!
Your hospitality is so appreciated. We enjoyed getting to know you and to hear your life stories. We have been in awe of your ability and expertise in the kitchen, at the helm, and all over the sailboat and ashore. One image I will never forget is Rebecca in warrior pose, positioned to nab a mooring ball. You are both so kind to accommodate our every request and handle our foibles with grace. As you conclude your maiden voyage on Tedavi, we wish you a 2023 on this gorgeous boat, a year ahead filled with discovery, adventure, good health, safe travels, deep dives into each other eyes.
Thank you!
AWESOME trip! The food made this trip fantastic!
AWESOME trip! Heiko was very patient with all the questions about sailing, diving and the reef. I enjoyed you sharing your knowledge and I also enjoyed eating all of the fantastic meals Rebecca made. Food can make or break a vacation for sure. This food made this trip for sure. Thanks for making this family trip of ours so fun, tasty and special.
What an amazing trip!
We didn't quite know what to expect and both of you exceeded our wildest dreams about a boat trip vacation! From the amazing breakfasts to desserts.. the meals were outstanding. You really need to assemble a "Rebecca Cook Book. The daytime adventures with Heiko were always memorable. He was always so patient and anticipated everything we all needed. We can't thank you enough for making this an amazing family vacation!
Unbelievable!
Heiko and Rebecca were unbelievable! From the first moment we stepped on board we felt 100% comfortable and relaxed. The accommodations were perfect and immaculate (The entire trip!) The food and drinks were exactly what you would want to eat on a tropical vacation. Heiko and Rebecca knew exactly what we wanted before we knew what we wanted. Heiko made us so comfortable in the ocean and gave us a five star snorkeling experience (MULTIPLE TIMES)
Rebecca's food was INSANELY delicious and was perfectly complimented with heinous cocktails/desserts. We will truly remember this vacation forever. THANK YOU!
The Best Vacation We have Ever Gone On!
As the father and planner of our family vacations, it is always difficult to plan a trip that all four kids will love. We have been all over North America together and my wife and kids all say that THIS was the best vacation we have gone on.
On this trip we got to experience the Virgin Islands. This is experience was because of Heiko and Rebecca. My kids think that Heiko is a super hero. He took us to places in the ocean that were truly amazing. He taught us how to hold our breath for 1.5 minutes and free dive to 25 feet. He even found our lost phone at the bottom of the ocean. He is a real life Aquaman!
In all of our vacations we have never had such awesome eating experience and that was because of Rebecca! Every meal, every snack, every dessert were truly delicious. The whole family is asking if we can do this trip again but only if we can do it with Rebecca and Heiko!
They really made this trip truly special. We all now consider them friends and we WILL see them again.
Five Stars!
To say Rebecca and Heiko exceeded expectations is an understatement. A nice boat is nice boat but the crew makes it special. These two are fantastic! They made our family vacation so special from the 50th anniversary banner, cups and welcome champagne to the wonderful meals and snorkel trips. We would do this trip with this crew all over again!
The Best Crew To Have On A Boat!
Heiko and Rebecca are the best crew to have on a boat. Heiko was basically Aquaman and found all the sea creatures for us to see!
Rebecca was the most amazing chef, I looked forward to every meal the entire trip!
The entire trip was amazing from start to finish!
WOW!
This has been hands down our best family vacation!
From day 1 to day 7 there was so much to see and so much fun had by all. It was amazing to have such a great duo Heiko and Rebecca!
Rebecca had the most amazing meals planned for breakfast, lunch, dinner and appetizers. to make all the member of our family happy with food, is one GREAT accomplishment!
Heiko thank you for all your help (and patience) with our crew. All the pointers on breathing techniques given were so helpful. You were the BEST dive master. All the things we got to see and learn about during our scuba and snorkel dive are unforgettable.
With a family of 6 it is rare that we all agree but without a question this will forever be our FAMILY'S BEST VACATION EVER (until next year and we see you guys again.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this such a memorable bonding family vacation for us.
Attention To Detail Is Second To None!
We had a wonderful time this week and you both played a role in the experience. The information you shared along the journey added a special touch. All of the food was amazing!!
Your thoughtfulness and attention is second to none!
What A Fabulous Vacation!
The attention to detail was impressive. Placemat changes; shampoo and conditioner bottle placement; bed making perfection; everything was thought of!
Our our hosts were incredibly generous with amazing food and fabulous wines.
We Will Never Forget This Trip!
Heiko & Rebecca,
Thank you! You provided new memories for all of us that we will never forget. Every snorkel trip provided even more underwater treasures. The food tailored to my family was "lights out" fantastic!! The snacks-dream for all of my active people.
Thank you for sharing your home with us. Everything was so personalized and special. We cannot say thank you enough from our family to yours.
You two make an amazing team and work so hard to provide a fantastic experience for us!
We will never forget this trip.
