Sand Star Crew Profile
Captain
First Mate/Chef
We appreciate and understand the importance of crew designation and clear communication with guests; however, we will confirm the actual crew 30 days before arrival. We reserve the right to change/reschedule the crew based on operations.
Cliff Wilson
Cliff was raised in the heart of San Francisco’s sailing scene and has been racing since 1980. From the Pacific to the Gulf of Mexico, through Guatemala’s Rio Dulce, and into the Caribbean - Bahamas and BVIs - he has logged countless nautical miles with a steady hand and a sailor’s intuition. His mantra? “Ski boots or barefoot!” - a reflection of a life split between mountain summits and open seas.
Before taking the helm of Belize Sailing Vacations from his parents, Cliff led mountain operations at Mount Rose in Lake Tahoe and worked as an environmental consultant. But for the past 20+ years, it is Belize’s turquoise waters that have become his home and playground, where he has earned a reputation as one of the region’s most seasoned and sought-after captains.
As an ASA Master Instructor, Cliff does more than teach sailing - he instills skill, confidence, and a deep respect for the sea. Off the clock, you’ll find him scuba diving, spearfishing, or swapping stories with guests who return again and again just to sail by his side.
Rachael Wilson
Rachael moved to Belize in early 2009 after a 10-year corporate marketing career in London and a six-month solo travel tour of South America. Before her travels, Rachael worked as a marketing and innovation manager for a luxury food company, so she brings her passion for gourmet cooking and spirit for adventure to Belize Sailing Vacations. Rachael loves playing host to our guests, sharing her experiences, and ensuring everyone has the ultimate Belizean adventure. Rachael also owns our sister business, Absolute Belize, which provides travel planning services and countrywide knowledge and expertise for guests opting to spend time on land and the water.

Sand Star Guest Reviews
Cruising and ASA Courses on the Sand Star
My husband and I spent six days on the Sand Star, a 50-foot luxury catamaran, to take American Sailing Association (ASA) courses. This was our first trip on a catamaran and we loved the pleasures of sailing 24/7. Outdoor dining at every meal, swimming off the boat, and stargazing were delightful. We felt pampered with all-inclusive food and drink service. Watching dolphins swim next to our boat was exciting. Each day was truly unique and we got to see and explore a few Belizean islands while learning how to sail the Sand Star. We are happy we got ASA certified and look forward to future sailing trips!
