Taylor grew up in Central Virginia, splitting summers between driving ski boats on the lake and traveling in the family RV to every state with a road to it. After earning a business degree from Appalachian State University with honors, Taylor pursued a passion for living outside of the box. Playing in a touring rock band transitioned to extended trekking in South America, which led to bartending in Breckenridge, Colorado. After a few years of the ski bum life, the dream of setting off for points unknown in a sailboat started to form. He jumped head first into sailing and within a short period he was a licensed captain living aboard and traveling on his own boat.

Ebb & Flow Guest Reviews
Tomlinson 5/22 - 6/5, 2023
Dear Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you for a wonderful fortnight sailing around the BVI. Anne and I had an amazing time exploring these beautiful islands under your local guidance. The trip was enhanced by your insightfulness of the pirate stories - fact and fiction - that made these lovely islands come to life. Does this make me more Whitebeard than Blackbeard?
Thank you for helping me take a walk down memory lane. Anne definitely enjoyed the diving - I certainly enjoyed supervising her from above. Also, the snorkeling was fantastic too.
Thank you, Margaret, for your delicious food and superb portion sizes. We were definitely satisfied, not stuffed. Anne took lots of food photos, which is most unusual - so you really impressed on the catering.
On the skippering side, I enjoyed our technical sailing chats. Taylor - you are very knowledgeable, most informative and pragmatic. It helped me make several decisions during the fortnight.
Overall, thanks again for making the trip a special fortnight.
Best wishes,
Blaine and Anne
Dasaro 05/13-20/2023
Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you for making this trip special for my whole family. Ebb & Flow was luxurious, comfortable, and immaculately maintained. I really appreciated coming home each night to a turned down bed (king sized!) with A/C, mood lighting, and pleasant scents.
Taylor, thank you for entertaining us with your jokes and stories, and for being an excellent guide to us in a new place. Thanks so much for setting up kitesurfing for me and helping me during it.
Margaret, thanks for taking us on snorkeling adventures and showing us lots of fish and buried treasure! The food was spectacular, I feel so much healthier overall than I did when starting this trip. My favorite meal was the snapper, indian food was a close second. Favorite dessert was olive oil lavender cake. Thanks for going above and beyond for my Mom for Mother’s Day and her birthday, we really appreciated that.
The trip was a “10” and M&T made it a “12”. What a great way to spend time with your family! BEST VACATION EVER!!
Sincerely,
AJ, Tony, Kelli, Mercedes, Alexis, Oscar
Wood 04/12-19/2023
Taylor and Margaret,
Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and immaculate boat. We felt so pampered and leave Ebb & Flow fully rejuvenated! So appreciate your healthy meals.
Highlights are snorkeling with Margaret the Mermaid, jumping off Willy T’s, Taylor’s famous bloody marys, and so much more. Please visit us in the mountains anytime and we look forward to seeing you next season!
XOXO,

This was the most fabulous trip we have ever had. We have traveled to many places around the world, but this was by far the most relaxing and enjoyable trip!
Sally, you are an amazing chef and your food was outstanding. Mark, your daily drink specials were truly delicious!
You are a wonderful team and we will miss you both. We felt like we were part of your family. Lots of laughs and adventures we shared. Couldn’t have shared this with anyone else! So lucky that you came back to charter just in time for the Judd Family to arrive.
Enjoy your new adventures in your RV!

You guys brought it up to ´TOP NOTCH´...your passion, knowledge, and experience shined through just like the sun. Thanks for the fun ride and safe travels my friends.
Margaret & Taylor - What can we say... you guys were incredible! From a super passionate captain & very thoughtful dive instructor to an amazing chef and dive master, your skills and capabilities were not soon to be forgotten.
