Capt. Sean O’Grady
Captain Sean discovered a love for the ocean at an early age while sailing with his father, setting the course for a lifelong connection to the sea. After a brief time away from the water, he returned to sailing in the San Francisco Bay, where he quickly immersed himself in both racing and charter work.
Since 2018, he has worked with USA76, a former America’s Cup IACC yacht, gaining invaluable experience aboard one of the sport’s most iconic vessels. His maritime background also includes commercial fishing in Alaska, sport fish guiding, and time aboard large private yachts. He later served as both Maintenance Director and Captain for a pair of Santa Cruz 70s in Monterey Bay, where he spent two years overseeing operations and delivering unforgettable sailing experiences.
Now based in the Caribbean, Captain Sean brings his expertise, enthusiasm, and easygoing nature to every charter. He holds a 100 Ton Near Coastal Master License with STCW, Sail, and Assistance Towing endorsements, and places the highest priority on safety, service, and guest enjoyment. His philosophy as a captain is simple: create a fun, relaxed atmosphere where everyone can laugh, connect, and fully embrace the beauty and adventure of island life.




Chef/First Mate Daryl Hanna
Daryl was born in Ohio and raised in South Carolina. He moved to the Virgin Islands at the young age of 23 and has been a resident for almost 20 years now. He made his way through high school and university working in various restaurants in the Palmetto state.

After moving to St. Croix, Daryl built a full-time career as a chef, including a tenure as Executive Chef at Savant - consistently ranked among the Caribbean’s top-ten restaurants - frequented by celebrities and even a former U.S. president while vacationing with his family. During his tenure at Savant, he received numerous accolades:
2017 USA Today Top 10 Restaurants in the Caribbean
2017 Pacific Tribune Exploring Paradise without a Passport
2018 Carib Journal 10 Hottest Tables in the Caribbean
His cooking style can best be described as a fusion between French, Asian and Caribbean cuisine with a little touch of down home Southern

Cooking. It was also at this time Daryl continued his passion for sailing. He has owned multiple sailboats over the years, cruising the Caribbean and traveling the world during the Caribbean hurricane season yearly. Daryl currently holds a USCG 100 ton masters license and many other safety certifications such as Advanced Fire Fighting and Medical Care Provider. An avid fisherman, Daryl loves trolling with a couple of lines out to see what fresh catch he can bring in for guests and whip up some fresh tuna poke or mahi ceviche. He looks forward to helping guests continue to fulfill their dream sailing vacation in the extraordinarily beautiful waters of the Virgin Islands with full bellies, smiling faces and happy hearts!!!

Casa Blanca Guest Reviews

Previous Yacht NameValhalla
Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Trinidad, Caribbean
“I recently experienced a charter aboard the Two Oceans catamaran HQ2 with Captain Dylan and Kayla. Kayla, our chef and stewardess, handled her dual role with such ease.
Over the course of our charter, it became clear that she has both experience and passion for cooking a variety of cuisines, always prioritising fresh, high-quality ingredients. Our menu catered perfectly to our preferences, with plenty of seafood, meats, and gourmet nibbles. I especially enjoyed the South African braai, Japanese-style lunch, and expansive breakfasts.
Kayla went above and beyond for my birthday, baking a beautiful tropical-themed cake and organising a full celebration.
We also had a guest with a nut allergy, and thanks to Kayla’s clear communication before and during the trip, we were completely at ease regarding cross-contamination.
Her cocktail skills are equally impressive — she crafted drinks tailored to each of our tastes, and I’ve already tried recreating a few at home!
Our entire experience aboard HQ2 was elevated by Kayla’s warm, attentive service, and we have already recommended this charter to others.”
 — Telicia Campain

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Grenada, Caribbean
“What a lovely two weeks I enjoyed aboard HQ2. The weather, entertainment, and peaceful quiet were all perfect. I felt especially fortunate to be on board while Kayla was experimenting with new dishes.
Her cooking is already excellent, but the anticipation every second or third night — when she unveiled a new dish — was always met and then surpassed.
A standout dish was The Wild Thing: game carpaccio with phyllo pastry, cream cheese, and fresh strawberries dressed in a balsamic-honey reduction. Her delicate touch with vegetarian dishes also hit the mark. You have a true treasure in her.
And of course, I must mention the marvellous South African braais prepared by Dylan and Jesse. Simply unforgettable.”
 — Linda Harris

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Grenada, Caribbean
“My mom was very concerned about spending a month on board due to her disability, worried she would be a burden. Instead, it was such a joy watching the crew (my adult children) create innovative and thoughtful ways to help their grandmother on and off the yacht with dignity, ease, and fun.
They gently encouraged her to step outside her comfort zone and she ended up having the most incredible time.
Whether it was a beautifully decorated swing or a comfortable chair designed to lower her into the water, or keeping her seated in the tender until it was lifted to deck height — every movement was made safe, easy, and comfortable.
Their care gave my mom the confidence to fully enjoy swimming, snorkelling, and relaxing — something we never imagined possible.”
 — Sandy Paynter

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Grenada, Caribbean
“Your food, presentation, and hospitality were exceptional—truly faultless. You catered for groups of up to 15 with ease, offering beautifully prepared entrées and multiple selections of main dishes. Outstanding.”
 — Richard Heinitz & Jenya Alekseeva

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Saint Helena, Atlantic Ocean
“I accompanied the HQ2 crew on multiple adventures, two of which were especially memorable: St. Helena Island and Inhaca Island, Mozambique.
On our Inhaca trip, we enjoyed coconut cocktails, bar hopping, deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, and wakeboarding. The crew even recreated famous Mozambican chicken on board — perfectly paired with fresh salads.
My trip to St. Helena in April 2023 was equally unforgettable. As a fishing lover, joining the crew for fishing trips — both from HQ2 and with the locals — was a highlight.
The standout meal of the entire trip? Fresh Dorado prepared for a perfect beach braai and snorkel in Lemon Valley.”
 — Sean Roberts

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Cape Town, South Africa
“We recently sailed around Cape Point aboard HQ2, and it was a fantastic experience. We felt completely safe the entire time thanks to the professional and experienced crew.
HQ2 offered a comfortable, enjoyable atmosphere for taking in the breathtaking scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and safe way to explore this iconic landmark.”
 — Robert Louw & Meagen Van Zyl

Crew Review from Previous Yacht

British Virgin Islands
“Thanks to our new friends for making our New Year’s so wonderful! The effort the crew put in to make it over the top was so impressive. Highly recommend!”
“Dylan, Kayla, and Joe — I can´t thank you enough for the amazing charter! Fun, energetic, kind, caring, and overall just great human beings. From the food and drinks to the snorkelling, kayaking, private beach picnic, teaching us to sail, and everything in between — you turned what would have been a great week into simply the BEST vacation we have ever been on.”
“We recently cruised with Dylan and Kayla — exceptional hosts. Our group of 10 included my husband with mobility issues, and they were wonderfully accommodating, ensuring he had an incredible time. The food was excellent, and the snorkelling and swimming spots were idyllic.” — Diane
“We had the MOST AMAZING time ever on our charter!! Dylan and Ameda were beyond anything we hoped for. The islands, the adventures — everything was unbelievable. They made Christmas for our kids (and us!) truly magical. We are ready to return — and want Dylan and Ameda again!!” — Keith & Lee Ann
