CAPTAIN:

Glen Hurd a sea gypsy with a wanderlust soul, Captain Glen is a Canadian born, American expat that has been based out of the Virgin Islands for 20 years, and calls his world voyaging sailing yacht home. Glen lives to travel, exploring the world and diverse cultures, thriving on good vibes and positive energy. Nurturing his lifelong love of the water, his sailing adventures include the entire Caribbean Sea, Central & South America, Panama Canal, South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Suez Canal, and Mediterranean. Having had thousands of salty nautical miles slip under his keel, Captain Glen makes it a priority to custom-tailor your adventure to your specific needs and desires, ensuring this is your trip of a lifetime!

Raised in Oakville, Ontario, but never adjusting to the freezing temperatures of his homeland, Glen immigrated to the United States at the age of 20, and continued progressing to the little latitudes through a highly successful career as a professional hotelier. Along the journey, Glen has successfully managed various luxury boutique resorts throughout the Caribbean, including the islands of Vieques, Puerto Rico, Virgin Gorda, Bermuda, St. Lucia, Jamaica, Dominica, and Nevis.
Throughout his epic adventures, Glen’s heart has remained in the Virgins - home to the finest sailing in the World! - where he has returned to share his love of sailing and passion for the sea with you. Glen has an extensive and intimate knowledge of the waters, people, and places of the entire Caribbean, especially the Virgin Islands (U.S., British, & Spanish). His familiarity includes all the anchorages, snorkel and dive sites, land and sea highlights, hiking locations, and beach bars to share with you. He has been fortunate to develop countless friendships and acquaintances, with locals and expats alike, throughout the VI and Caribbean.

Chef Alex Hurd
Born upon the edge of the Baltic Sea, along the beautiful coastal beaches of Poland, Alex, grew up in a small seaside town, where her love of the sea began. Alex considers herself lucky to have been raised in a home where the allure of the ocean was ever present, and with parents who taught her a respect of the water, an appreciation of new opportunities, a love for travel, and an appetite for culturally rich food. Passions that have determined her life!

Fortunate to develop her passions into her work, Alex was employed with a Tourism and Event Coordination Agency. Organizing tours all around the world, and showing people the beauty it has to offer, the biggest reward was witnessing her guests enjoying their time and getting hooked on travel! Worldwide adventures have taught Alex that local communities best demonstrate their culture through cuisine, by tasting the food, and simply having a great time! Extensive travel, along with living on a yacht, has taught Alex the importance of fresh ingredients, creativity in the galley, and has inspired her delicious and unforgettable meals. Alex is very happy to share all of that with you!

Presented an opportunity not to be missed, Alex realized her greatest dream come true, and biggest challenge of her life, embarking on an epic sailing adventure to the far side of the world. Upon partnering with Captain Glen, Alex came to discover a life to suit her style. At once, feeling natural and right at home, settling into the fulfillment of a happy life, living in paradise down in the islands. The ultimate expression and appreciation of this is experienced in the Virgin Islands, where Alex takes great delight in sharing wonderful meals, island adventures, great conversation and laughs, delicious cocktails, and beautiful sunsets with her guests!
