ABOUT US

Captain: Kevin Tear
Chef & 1st Mate: Valerie Tear

Val and Kev met in the Caribbean and embarked on a career journey around the globe managing 5-star dive resorts, restaurants and liveaboards in the Caribbean, South Pacific and Indonesia.

Kev is originally from the UK and has been in, on or around the water for much of his life. Corporate life and a successful career in the client experience realm interrupted the globetrotting for a time, but this cemented a passion for customer excellence. He has a love for teaching and sharing knowledge, and not only holds an RYA offshore 200 tonne qualification but is also an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor, and his in-depth knowledge on many different types of sail and power vessels is an open invitation for anyone wishing to hone their sailing skills while onboard. Under the sea he is also a PADI dive instructor and passionate underwater photographer.

Originally hailing from Montana, Val left the states at a young age in search of the ocean. She is a cordon bleu trained chef with a proven track record in hotel, yacht and restaurant management. She excels in cuisine creation, menu development and food hygiene and allergen training & management.

She is also an RYA Yachtmaster and PADI dive instructor with a true passion for the sea, both above and below the waves. This combined experience of Kev and Val, coupled with hospitality and guest satisfaction being a core attribute; will ensure you have a fun, relaxing and memorable charter in the Caribbean sunshine.

We both love to get guests involved if they wish, whether its sailing, in the galley or on the water.
