ISLAND STANDARD TIME

CAPTAIN VICTORIA LITTLE

Vicky comes from a family of sailors who gave her a love and passion for sailing that goes back to her earliest childhood memories. The first time she took the helm, she was only four years old, and those years of experience show in her skippering today. Never happier than when she is on the water and sharing her love for the sea, she has taught others to sail across the world from Australia to Greece. 

Always a very hands-on person, Vicky is always keen to get stuck into the engineering (less picturesque) aspects of yachting to make sure it's a smooth trip for everyone else. When not sailing, Vicky makes a mean rum punch, loves a board game, and keeps up to speed with all things sail racing! Having spent many years teaching others to sail, Vicky has most recently been skippering a 1930s classic yacht on the south coast of England. 

With a host of qualifications including Yachtmaster Offshore (commercially endorsed), powerboat instructor, and approved engine course 1+2, you will instantly relax knowing you are in a very safe and competent pair of hands. Your chances of learning some niche yacht trivia are fairly high! 

CHEF GEORGE TURNER

George grew up in the landlocked midlands of England, but spent every holiday at his grandparents’ home by the sea, which gave him a lifelong love of all things nautical. Coming from a family of self-professed foodies who loved to throw dinner parties, food and hosting have been the central tenets of George’s life. 

Whilst at university, George started working in the craft beer industry, learning all about the fundamentals of flavor and food pairings, alongside sharpening his barista and cocktail skills. George relishes the challenge of food intolerances and preferences always striving to create dishes which bring everyone together. 

After nearly ten years in the hospitality business, George found sailing and took every opportunity to learn and spend time on the water, gaining his Yachtmaster Offshore (commercially endorsed) qualification. Combining all of his passions in cooking and hosting whilst under sail! A classic generous chef, George loves to create menus and meals that stay in your memory and bring you back to that feeling of holiday bliss for years to come.
