Captain Sarah and Chef Darcy
Captain Sarah was born in Seattle, Washington and moved to the U.K at an early age where she grew up in Cambridge, England. Her love of architecture and history took her down the path of academic study and she earned a double bachelors in Real Estate & International Business Management, followed by a Masters degree in Urban Planning. In her early 20s she pursued a career in property development in Central London where she worked on large property development projects, with her speciality being in Master Planning large urban spaces.
Captain Sarah switched out the hard hat and steel toe cap boots for her snorkel and sailing gear in 2017 following an extended period traveling across Europe. Captain Sarah found an irrefutable passion for the Ocean during her time in Italy aboard a classic 27ft monohull. Her passion for sailing and the simplicity associated with an ocean based lifestyle was so great that she immediately began a 4 month intensive Yacht Masters Captain License in the Isle of Wight, U.K, one of the most difficult sailing areas in the World.
Following her training, Captain Sarah worked in a variety of positions aboard yachts, from Flotilla Captain on smaller monohull sailing yachts, to deck hand on 300+ft super yachts. Captain Sarah has most recently spent two years as Chef/First Mate aboard a 56ft catamaran in the US Virgin Islands. The variety of roles aboard many styles of yacht had given her the ability to excel in all areas of the yachting industry. Captain Sarah has worked on some of the biggest and most impressive super yachts in the world and has worked and travelled across three of the four continents.

Darcy´s passion for cooking originated while standing alongside her grandmother in the kitchen as she would prepare dishes for the family and guests from around the world. Always valuing fresh local ingredients, Darcy takes pride in knowing where her food originates. Darcy studied environmental economics at the
University of Maryland, where she learned the importance and implications of sustainable agriculture. Darcy´s appreciation for fresh local
ingredients transpires through her cooking, showcasing how passion meets the plate.
After graduating, Darcy knew that she needed to experience more of what the world had to offer. She embarked on a journey of traveling, discovering, and exploring other cultures. Darcy´s love for good food and conversation led her to Europe in 2021, where she began working as a private chef on sailing yachts in Croatia. Since then, Darcy has worked across the globe, including Italy, Greece, and the Virgin Islands. She loves traveling to learn more about the local flavors of cultures worldwide and hopes to share a little taste of the world with you.
