Captain Tim Shiaris
Born and raised around the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, Tim has spent most of his life on boats — both motor and sail — developing a deep respect for the sea and a passion for adventure. His love for exploration and connection with people has taken him far and wide, eventually leading him to the Virgin Islands, where he now shares that sense of wonder with every charter guest.

With a strong background in racing yachts and a drive to continually expand his skills, Tim has earned advanced certifications that reflect both his commitment to safety and his passion for sailing. His calm, steady leadership makes him a natural on the water, creating a safe and relaxed environment where guests can fully enjoy island-hopping, snorkeling, and soaking in the Caribbean sunshine.

Beyond sailing, Tim’s interests are as hands-on and adventurous as his charters — from snowboarding and traveling to restoring historic homes. He’s also a master of the grill, known for taking home awards in BBQ competitions and bringing serious flavor to the table.

Tim lives by the motto: “It’s all about the experience.” Whether it’s your first sail or your tenth, he’s dedicated to crafting unforgettable days on the water, with just the right mix of adventure, local charm, and laid-back island vibes.

Chef Zara Browne
Zara was born in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Long Island at a young age where she found her love of the water. She spent her weekends sailing with her Dad and exploring the North Fork of Long Island. When she wasn’t enjoying the outdoors she spent her down time at her family’s restaurant in Hoboken, NJ where her love of fresh quality food began.

Her professional background has always been in the restaurant industry and hospitality. She has over 15 years of bartending experience and another 5 years in luxury concierge services working closely with high profile NYC restaurants, planning extravagant events, and running private spas and gyms.

When Zara felt she wanted a change of pace she decided what better way to bring her love of hospitality and the water together than joining the yachting industry. She has been lucky enough to work under multiple yacht chefs where she has been able to add a new layer of knowledge to her personal culinary experience.

Zara has always had a passion for bringing a memorable experience to her guests and looks forward to helping form unforgettable memories through food, cocktails, and the ambiance of the islands.

Sample Menu

DAY BREAKThe Sunrise BurritoGenerously stuffed with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory crumbled sausage, golden-brown potatoes, and melted cheddar and jack cheese. We wrap it all in a toasted flour tortilla and serve it with a side of zesty homemade salsa and sour cream.
Artisan Avocado ToastA thick slice of our rustic, boat-baked sourdough is toasted to golden perfection, providing the perfect canvas for a generous spread of creamy, fresh avocado. We finish it with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, fresh-ground black pepper, and a drizzle of vibrant extra-virgin olive oil.
Classic Continental BreakfastEnjoy a freshly baked pastry served alongside sweet butter and fruit preserves. Eggs to order paired with a morning protein of your choice. Can’t forget the yogurt and fresh homemade sourdough.
Bagel, Eggs & Lox PlatterA true delicatessen classic. Your choice of a freshly baked, toasted bagel served with cream cheese, delicate slices of premium smoked salmon (lox), thin-sliced red onion, and briny capers. This generous platter is accompanied by eggs, fruit and bacon.
Maryland Crab Cake BenedictA decadent taste of the Chesapeake. Two perfectly poached eggs sit atop authentic, lump-filled Maryland crab cakes, pan-seared to a beautiful golden brown. Served on a toasted English muffin and draped in a rich hollandaise sauce, then finished with a light dusting of Old Bay.
Sweet Potato PancakesA unique and comforting twist on a breakfast staple. Our fluffy, warmly-spiced sweet potato pancakes offer a beautiful earthy sweetness, stacked high and drizzled with a rich, velvety coconut cream sauce. Finished with a sprinkle of toasted pecans and a dash of cinnamon.
Classic French ToastThick slices of rich brioche bread are soaked in a warm vanilla and cinnamon custard, then griddled to a perfect golden-brown. This timeless classic is served with a pat of sweet butter, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a generous side of our vibrant, homemade blueberry compote.

MIDDAYTuna Poke BowlA fresh, vibrant taste of the islands. Cubes of sushi-grade ahi tuna are tossed in a light soy-sesame dressing and served over a bed of seasoned sushi rice. This healthy and satisfying bowl is loaded with colorful toppings, including creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, edamame, pickled ginger, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
Pan-Seared Mahi MahiA beautiful, flaky fillet of Mahi Mahi, pan-seared to a golden-brown with a delicate, crisp crust. It’s served over a bed of light and fluffy Mediterranean couscous salad, tossed with tomatoes, crisp cucumber, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and a bright, zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.
Flank Steak TacosTender, marinated flank steak, grilled to perfection and thinly sliced, is piled into warm corn tortillas. We top them with a bright, crunchy cilantro-lime slaw for a burst of freshness, a cool and creamy avocado crema, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese.
Cheeseburger in ParadiseFind your escape with this perfectly grilled beef patty, smothered in melted American cheese. It’s served on a toasted brioche bun with crisp iceberg lettuce, ripe tomato, sliced red onion, and tangy pickles. A generous helping of our signature “paradise” sauce brings it all together for a truly transportive bite.
Taste of the MediterraneanA generous family style meal of grilled chicken souvlaki, served with warm, fluffy pita bread. This feast is accompanied by a classic Greek salad with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and creamy feta cheese. Finished with a side of tangy fresh tzatziki sauce and fresh hummus.

HORS D’OEVRESGuacamole, Queso & Salsa TrioEnjoy our boat-made chunky guacamole, zesty fire-roasted salsa, and a warm, creamy queso dip. Served with a generous bowl of crispy tortilla chips.
Vietnamese Summer RollsLight, fresh, and vibrant. Delicate rice paper wrappers are filled with crisp lettuce, fragrant herbs like mint and cilantro, cool vermicelli noodles, and plump, poached shrimp. Served chilled with a rich and creamy homemade peanut dipping sauce.
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed DatesA perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy. Plump Medjool dates are stuffed with creamy, tangy goat cheese, then wrapped in savory, crisp-smoked bacon. Baked until caramelized and served warm for an irresistible bite.

Artisanal Pizza BoardA flight of flatbread pizzas, perfect for sharing. This board features three distinct flavors: classic Margherita with fresh mozzarella and basil, a savory pepperoni with zesty tomato sauce, and a gourmet white pizza with roasted garlic, ricotta, and a drizzle of hot honey.
SpanakopitaA classic Greek delicacy. Flaky, golden-brown phyllo dough is layered and baked to perfection, encasing a savory filling of tender spinach, creamy feta cheese, and fragrant herbs. Served warm for a crisp, flavorful bite.

MAINPan-Seared Chilean SeabassA truly elegant main course. A thick, buttery fillet of Chilean Seabass is pan-seared until it-boasts a perfectly crisp, golden-brown crust. It’s served over a bed of fragrant saffron rice and accompanied by sautéed baby bok choy with a hint of garlic and soy.
Filet Mignon MedallionsIncredibly tender, sous-vide then pan-seared Filet Mignon medallions are cooked to your exact preference and draped in a rich port reduction. This luxurious dish is served with a side of classic, decadent potato dauphinoise—scalloped potatoes baked in cream and cheese—and slightly blistered asparagus.
Thai Green Curry Mahi MahiA taste of the tropics. Fresh, locally-caught Mahi Mahi is gently poached in a rich, aromatic Thai green curry broth, bubbling with coconut milk, kaffir lime, and lemongrass. This vibrant dish is served over a bed of fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice and finished with fresh cilantro and thai basil.
Sous-Vide Pork TenderloinExperience pork tenderloin at its most tender. This premium cut is cooked sous-vide to a perfect, succulent medium, then seared for a delicate crust. It’s sliced and served over a bed of crispy, herb-roasted fingerling potatoes and finished with a savory pan sauce infused with fresh sage and rosemary.
Sesame-Encrusted Ahi TunaFresh, local Ahi tuna is rolled in a blend of black and white sesame seeds and seared rare to perfection. This stunning dish is sliced and fanned over a bed of chilled green tea soba noodles, accompanied by a crisp, tangy Asian cucumber salad and a savory seaweed salad.
Seared Sea ScallopsJumbo sea scallops, pan-seared to a perfect golden-brown crust, are presented over a bed of ultra-creamy Arborio rice, slow-simmered with earthy porcini mushrooms and a touch of Parmesan. Finished with a drizzle of white truffle oil and fresh chives.

DESSERTWarm Apple CrumbleA comforting classic. Tender, cinnamon-spiced apples are baked until bubbly under a buttery, golden-brown oat and brown sugar crumble. Served piping hot with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream that slowly melts into a rich, decadent caramel sauce.
Eton MessA delightfully chaotic and classic English dessert. We fold crisp, broken meringue pieces and a vibrant swirl of strawberry coulis into mounds of fresh, lightly sweetened whipped cream. Topped with more fresh berries for a perfectly light, sweet, and textured finish.
Classic Crème BrûléeA timeless French classic. This elegant dessert features a rich, velvety vanilla bean custard hidden beneath a delicate, paper-thin crust of caramelized sugar. Enjoy the satisfying crack of the spoon as it shatters the glassy, torched topping to reveal the cool, creamy custard below.
Key Lime PieA true taste of the tropics! A perfectly tart and wonderfully creamy key lime filling, made with real key lime juice, is chilled in a buttery graham cracker crust. This slice of sunshine is finished with fresh whipped cream and a zesty lime twist.
Boat-Made Biscoff Ice CreamAn irresistible, creamy, boat-made ice cream loaded with the caramelized, spiced-cookie magic of Biscoff. Every scoop is packed with crunchy cookie crumbles and rich cookie butter swirls.
Captain’s Chocolate MousseA decadent, velvety-smooth chocolate mousse, whipped to airy perfection by the Captain. This rich yet light dessert is finished with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra touch of luxury.
Seasonal Sorbet with ProseccoA bright and refreshing end to your meal. We take a scoop of vibrant sorbet, made from the best local and seasonal fruits, and serve it in a chilled glass. To make it extra special, we pour a splash of crisp, bubbly prosecco over the top, creating an elegant and effervescent dessert.

Tim and Zara
Thank you for a trip of a lifetime! You took a fabulous experience and made it spectacular. Of course all the wonderful places we went to were unforgettable but it was the extra special moments and all the laughter that will live in my heart as my memories when I think back on this vacation. I mean, who couldn’t plan to swim with dolphins, or be involved in dance parties (with an amazing disco ball and a dance platform) night and day – I will always remember Jen driving us around Anegada and sharing Bloody Marys, then music and dancing with you both. I wish you both all the best as you start your lives together at least you know you will always eat well – since you both are amazing chefs for which we were so lucky and happy to enjoy. I hope our paths cross again over the years. Please stay in touch!!

Where do I even begin?! you made my 50th birthday celebration so memorable. the Hawaiian celebration on the beach with all the attention to detail. I loved the pineapples stuffed with rice and that chicken was some of the best chicken I have ever had! It was an unforgettable evening. The birthday cake was delicious and the disco ball and birthday banner added to the party atmosphere. Your energy and enthusiasm was contagious. “Just jump on the Dolphins!” Night time swims with tarpons and spying on other boats.. and all of the amazing food I’m so grateful to have met you two and the trip wouldn’t have been the same without you. You must come visit us in Boston! Best of luck on an amazing life together!

Tim and Zara,

Over the last week, you both have become family! You have welcomed us on our maiden weeklong sailing adventure, and made us both feel comfortable beyond measure, but also loved. The beauty of the BVI has only been out done by the care you took in making sure that Sophie, Mia, and I always had fun. Thank you, and god bless!

Dear Tim and Zara,

Thank you for making our dreams come true! This week was truly amazing. Thanks to the both of you. I had no idea that my expectations could be exceeded like they were. The food was out of this world and Zara taught me that I do like fish. 🙂
You guys have a gift for making us all feel at home and well cared for. We felt pampered all week! We very much enjoyed getting to know you. Thank you for your patience and kindness. I know us Texans can be a lot to handle.
