Paul has had a love for life on the water since a very young age – sailing, surfing, free diving and competitive kite boarding. Being near or on the water has always been of great importance to him.

In 2014 Paul began his carrier as a charter captain which has brought him internationally offering crewed charters in Sweden, Italy, Greece, Croatia, the San Juan islands, Maine and the Caribbean. In 2016, Paul moved to the Virgin Islands to work as a full time captain aboard SV Pelican, a 58 foot catamaran, offering all inclusive dive sailing charters in the USVI and BVI. Having the Caribbean right off the back deck made for the chance to learn many of the locations for free diving, kiteboarding, hiking and all the fun activities that make a sailing trip a great adventure. Returning to the Mediterranean every summer Paul continues to grow his local knowledge of each location with a focus on Greece and Italy. His passion for the sailing life style and the ocean is infectious and he brings both excitement and experience to every charter.

He is also a well recognized teacher of outdoor photography and lighting. Paul happily shares his love for boating and photography as a captain who also can teach high-level photography to guests onboard in beautiful and remote locations.

Alicia grew up in the small sailing town of Annapolis, Maryland.
While majoring in Environmental Studies, she lived on her small sailing boat throughout university. During this time at college, she worked at various restaurants and vineyards, eventually working her way up to managing a small restaurant. Combing her passion for sailing, adventure, hospitality, and the natural environment, she joined the yachting industry 5 years ago, and has been cruising the world ever since. Alicia’s cuisine style can best be described as “International Bistro,” combing flavors from the various locations she has traveled around the world. Reminiscent of home style comfort with a modern twist, Alicia looks forward to welcoming you with an ultimate sense of ease while taking your tastebuds on an adventure you’ll never forget!
Alicia’s additional hobbies include: Hiking, photography, musical and cultural pursuits in each new location she’s visits, and diving. Alicia started diving in college for oyster restoration and research projects throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and has expansive knowledge of marine life. She hopes that when she is able to accompany you on your epic snorkel and dive excursions, she can share her passion and knowledge of the diverse underwater Caribbean world you are experiencing!
