Crew Profiles:
Captain Tim Montgomery

Captain Tim spent the first 10 years of his career as a professional chef traveling and working all over the world. He was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri, which you can imagine is not the sailing capitol of the United States. He found his love for the Ocean when he spent 3 years aboard National Geographic’s expedition ships sailing the entire west coast of North and Central America. He found his true home when he moved down to St. Thomas and fell in love with the culture and pristine Carib waters.​
​
After 3 years running chartered yachts all over the U.S and B.V.I’s, Tim knows all the secret spots and hidden gems the islands have to offer. After years of being a chef, he certainly knows his way around the bar and would be happy to mix up some delicious craft cocktails anytime. He prides himself on not having a set itinerary and having the ability to read the vibe of the day. Creating the perfect relaxing vacation everyday for guests and imparting on them the same love of the islands he has. ​
​
Tim holds a USCG masters license and STCW 95 certification and has logged well over 1000 days at sea. He would love to share his passion for the sailing lifestyle and personally tailor the perfect yacht vacation for you and yours. You can usually find him strumming his guitar or diving down to catch some spiny lobsters to throw on the grill for that night’s dinner. From his culinary skills, island knowledge, and a knack for creating the most fun charter environment possible, he’s the ideal Captain for your next vacation.



Chef Peta Daniel

Born and raised in South Africa, I was influenced by a mixing pot of different cultures and flavours from Indian to Cape Malay, Dutch to European. I grew up on a farm where growing, sourcing and thinking carefully about ingredients was part of life. Living in Cape Town for ten years I was lucky enough to gain significant experience in wine pairing working with top chefs from around the world. My most recent position serving a party of 11 was the most rewarding so far!  Providing a rich and full culinary experience for so many and fueling their need for good energy while they snorkel, swim, enjoy the beaches and stay active around all the islands have to offer is the greatest pleasure.  In serving larger groups I can be more creative in providing colorful, tasty, homey plates incorporating different textures and a fusion of flavors.   Whether its full meals, hors’ d’oeuvres, plated charcuterie and cheese boards, designed and cooked ladies lunches, afternoon teas and canapés, the creativity in providing unique experiences for every meal is my passion. I'm excited every day about sharing my skills and love for food and channeling that into creating experiences every meal with the best views possible!
