Matt and Tara are an experienced energetic couple with a great sense of fun. They have a diverse range of skills above and below the water. A highly motivated, organized couple with an eye for detail and the desire to ensure their guests have the vacation they have been dreaming about.
Captain Matt, an RYA/MCA certified Yachtmaster, boasts over 15 years of professional sailing across Australia, Italy, the UK, and the BVI. His journey includes a two-year tenure as a charter skipper in Italy’s southern waters, where he led a diverse array of boats and groups.
Prior to his transition to private crewed yachts, Matt imparted his knowledge as an RYA & ASA sailing instructor in the BVI, focusing on beginner to intermediate courses. His role as Sunsail’s flotilla skipper saw him navigating up to fifteen boats through the islands’ serene waters. Passionate about sailing, Matt thrives on the camaraderie with guests, the thrill of new challenges, and the joy of discovering novel locales and cultures.
A professional chef, Tara spent two years at one of London’s top catering colleges, and 10 years working in some top restaurants and hotels in London. Wanting to travel she became a diving instructor and started exploring the world, including spending 7 years on Grand Cayman as a diving instructor and underwater videographer. In her free time, she set up her own company, catering for cocktail parties and small business lunches. Here is where she combined her two passions: cooking and the ocean.
In 2010, Tara’s journey brought her to the BVI, where she served as the chef aboard a 105-foot trimaran, navigating the Caribbean waters and delighting up to 20 guests with her culinary creations. Her impeccable organization skills were key to satisfying the appetites of 27 people daily. With her extensive training, Tara adeptly tailors her menu to accommodate any dietary needs, continually crafting innovative dishes to offer an unforgettable dining experience to her guests.
In 2012, Matt and Tara united as a dynamic Captain and Chef duo, committed to providing top-notch charter experiences in the stunning British Virgin Islands. Their collaboration has set a high standard for sailing adventures, blending expert navigation with exquisite culinary delights, all set against the backdrop of the BVI’s breathtaking scenery.
