Mike and Lizzy can’t wait to share their love and knowledge of the Caribbean and all it has to offer! Their excitement is contagious. They met racing yachts in their home waters over 10 years ago. After cruising around the Mediterranean; Greece, Croatia, France and the Amalfi coast they turned their love of sailing into a full-time career: moving to the British Virgin Islands to run crewed yacht charters in 2014.

With 100+ charters to their names, Mike and Lizzy have taken their guests sailing not only in the Virgin Islands, but also other amazing locations including St Martin-St Barths-Anguilla, Antigua-St Kitts & Nevis, Martinique-St Lucia and the unforgettable St Vincent and the Grenadines-Grenada.

Mike and Lizzy pride themselves on making guests feel safe, welcomed and pampered with their friendly, warm, professional approach and an eye for detail, leaving you with nothing to do except focus on the beauty of your surroundings and enjoy your holiday of a lifetime!

Mike loves the ocean and has been sailing all his life. His passion has gained him a list of maritime credentials and a wealth of knowledge on sailing and motor yachts. He likes to pass on his enthusiasm to everyone on board, encouraging and teaching others more about sailing. A great sense of humour combined with an open and relaxed manner, not to mention his skills behind the bar, ensures Mike gets all guests to enjoy every moment aboard.

Lizzy grew up cooking with fresh local produce in her family farm kitchen before her adventurous spirit took her to university, where she learnt to sail, and then around the world by land and sea! Her experiences influence her cooking and expand her repertoire. She added some finishing touches at the prestigious Ashburton Chefs Academy in the U.K., and now delights in 2 of her passions – serving up beautiful tasty food she knows her guests will adore and sailing!

Mike and Lizzy, thank you so much for everything this trip. I’ve had such a fun time playing Yahtzee, sea scootering, snorkeling and more y’all made this trip something I won’t forget. Thanks AKM

Thank you for an epic vacation! The sailing was amazing. Food, fun, water and sun. Thanks Lizzy for the yummy food. SP

Mike and Lizzy, After years of searching for a charter, you came highly recommended. I wanted to bring my family to the BVI because I had such a great experience sailing around the islands in 1993 when I was in 8th grade. You’ve given us more than a family trip. This will be a trip that ignites A lifelong love of exploring and travelling for all of us. I pray that it is also just the beginning of many new foods for the children! You both complement one another so well – making for an unforgettable experience for everyone. We have truly been spoiled by all the food, sailing and exploring. We’re ready to sail again! Love KP

BVI 21st – 28th March 2026 “Food, fun, water and sun.”

Star gazing, Mabel tours, remote search and rescue, secret baby turtle spotting, baby goats, beach walks, bar pops, delicious lobster and even more delicious Lizzy creations, sun rashes, sea scooters, Tarpons, high seas, mangrove canoeing, snorkeling galore through rough currents and sprinkles, spilling all of our drinks, and feeling so loved and cared for the entire trip by the best crew we could have hoped for! A spring break never to forget and to do again so soon! Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! A,D,P & B G

BVI 13th – 20th March 2026 “A spring break never to forget.”

How can I put into mere words what has been an over-the-top sailing trip? I have done two previous sailing trips to the BVI, but this one was 300% better than the others. Mike and Lizzy you are the ultimate dream team. Mike’s expertise with sailing and acting as tour guide (especially on Anegada!) and Lizzy’s five star meals were absolutely fabulous. Thank you both many times over for a wonderful, memorable vacation. God bless! LK

From initial on board, everything couldn’t have been more excellent: Many thanks CP

My first time sailing! I was worried about being seasick and I shouldn’t have done so! What a fabulous experience. Mike and Lizzie really treated us like family. Mike was an outstanding captain and guide; Lizzy, a five star gourmet chef – she made magic happen in the small kitchen! Truly a trip of a lifetime – thank you so much BP

Dear [Broker]

We are on our way home after an amazing week on Sandy Cinco. Thank you for all your help choosing the right yacht and crew. Mike and Lizzie did an incredible job and created the conditions for us to have exactly the vacation that we wanted with our family.

I would highly recommend Mike and Lizzie – they are very experienced and that translates into a very high-quality experience and an ability to avoid crowds and only experience the best anchorages and locations. The food was also excellent.

I hope that this feedback is helpful.

Thanks so much for helping me make a good choice of yacht and crew – as you know, it makes all the difference.

Best,
John
