CAPT. JACOB GREW UP IN CHICAGO AND LEFT THE
COLD WEATHER FOR SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AFTER COLLEGE. IT WAS HERE THAT HE FELL IN LOVE
WITH SAILING AND HAS NEVER LOOKED BACK! AFTER
PURCHASING HIS OWN BOAT AND BECOMING
INVOLVED WITH SEVERAL RACE TEAMS HE DECIDED
TO MAKE HIS PASSION A FULL TIME JOB.
WORKING SEVERAL SEASONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
AND AUSTRALIA, HE HONED HIS CHARTER SKILLS
BEFORE ARRIVING IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS IN 2018.
FOR THE PAST 4 SEASONS HE HAS SAILED THE USVI
AND BVI IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT LOCALES TO
MAKE YOUR TRIP ONE IN A LIFETIME!
Driven by a passion for culture, adventure and community, Alex dove
head first into the culinary world, immediately moving from Toronto
to Florence, Italy after graduating university to immerse herself in the
Italian food culture. After working in restaurants and as an Au Pair to
three children, Alex had enough confidence in her flexibility and
service capabilities to apply to work for Quarterdeck; first as
Operations Assistant. In this role, she grew the organization skills that
she would later use in her Yacht Chef career on sailing yachts around
the globe. Over the last 6 years, she has developed an exceptionally
high standard of food preparation and presentation, along with an
ever-growing knack for customer service. By paying close attention to
detail, Alex has mastered the art of going above and beyond for her
charter guests through her menu, as well as her roles on board as first
mate, guide, host and friend. Her organization, extensive experience
and cheerful personality make her a key player in the planning and
execution of every charter she runs, resulting in many of her guests
returning to charter with her again.

Synergy Guest Reviews
There will be little that can top this trip
We truly enjoyed having Jacob Beman as our Captain during our charter in the BVI. Jacob was a true professional, and handled the catamaran with skill above and beyond what I have seen on other trips.
Jacob was always up early starting coffee and performing his captain duties, and he even helped our chef with some of the meals & her responsibilities.
He was well versed in first aid, as one day I had a small cut on my ankle and he cleaned and bandaged it for me. We were quite impressed during our trip because he always sailed using the sails vs. using the motor, which may have been because of the great weather we had, but regardless, we enjoyed our time on the yacht tremendously.
Alex is a ridiculously good chef, and kept us on track and informed throughout our stay, and made every person on board feel special. She is an amazing person and part of an excellent overall team.
We felt in such good hands
Jacob was happy to answer questions and teach those that wanted to learn more about sailing.
I was so impressed by his professionalism, knowledge of the islands, and basically everything about the water. Jacob was always smiling, and he knew just where to take us to snorkel and things to tell us to look out for.
He was happy to take us to the islands in the dingy, and really made our trip so special. We enjoyed having Jacob for our charter, he is quite an impressive captain.
Alex was beyond words amazing!!
Besides being a phenomenal person, she is a gourmet chef!! She took incredible care of each one of us, prepared incredible meals, and made the entire experience perfection!!
She handled our every need, want and just made every moment fabulous!
We were blown away with how fun and beautiful everything was
There aren’t enough words to say how amazing Alex was! We wouldn’t recommend a yacht trip to anyone if Alex isn’t the chef.
I couldn’t believe how delicious all of the meals were. She made sure we were ready and on time for all events. I can’t imagine this trip without her!
Jacob is professional, smart, kind, witty and I highly recommend him without hesitation.
I would not hesitate to charter with this team again, and I plan to next year!!
Trip of a Lifetime
´It´s hard to find the words to describe how our experience was with Sailing Synergy. The beauty of the islands, the love and grace with Alex and Jacob and the majesty of this incredible boat are second to none. This was a trip of a lifetime that will never be forgotten. Thank you for the memories, Synergy.´

Alex and Jacob made the trip EXCEPTIONAL
´This trip was a family vacation to celebrate Cam´s graduation. He picked it and we were so excited to experience ´salt life´ for the first time! What an unbelievable trip! We were spoiled from the moment we got onboard until the last minute. Alex´s food is 1st class on every level- presentation, variety, and most of all TASTE! we cheered everytime she announced that a meal was ready (and took pictures of everything)! Captain Jacob was the best captain in the BVI USVI and beyond! He had mad skills as a captain and led us onshore to some superb spots for viewing and drinking. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Alex and Jacob , they are true professionals. Alex and Jacob made this trip EXCEPTIONAL and we feel so lucky to be in their care for the best 8days. Reality will be tough to return to after this dreamy, scenic, gourmet and laughter filled trip.´
