Crew Profiles:

Sergio is a young, fun, and adventurous sailor.

Growing up in South America, it was during his summer beach vacations that he fell in love with the sea and made a promise to himself that someday he would live near the ocean.

After graduating high school, he relocated to Puerto Rico where he completed his degree in marketing and pursued sailing. His passion for sailing grew extensively which led to the purchase of his own sailboat and many hours of sailing in his spare time.

4 years ago, Sergio decided that sailing was what really ‘fueled his soul’ and decided to make a career change and sail full-time.

He is a licensed RYA Yacht master, offshore commercially endorsed, USCG captain and Dive Master. He has delivered outstanding charter vacations in Greece, Croatia, Florida, and the Caribbean.

Sergio speaks fluent English and Spanish, enjoys water sports, and loves a good conversation while guests enjoy his most favored creation, Captain's Old Fashions!!

Neen:

A five-year resident of the Virgin Islands, Neen, is now enjoying her first year as Chef aboard Valhalla, the past three years she was Chef and First Mate aboard S/V Winters Coming.

As a Midwest Ohio native and lifelong traveler, she enjoys creating a wide and exciting array of dishes for your enjoyment. Her creations and methodology have been influenced by cuisines of Lebanon, Japan, Italy, Korea, Denmark, Austria, France, the Philippines, the American South, Southwest, and Midwest and of course, her current home, the Caribbean Islands.

In addition to traveling and experimenting with food, Neen dedicated much of her life to the study of fine art. Upon moving to the Caribbean, she found an intense love for life on the water, and so, transitioned her work from paper to plate. “In the past I created art you simply looked at, now I create art you smell, touch, see, taste, devour and even sometimes hear..”

One of the most rewarding elements of life on the water for Neen is life IN THE WATER! As a certified Dive Master and avid snorkeler, she will be your guide in the breathtaking underwater world of the Virgin Islands. You may even be lucky enough to snare a lobster for lunch! If not, try your hand at catching a Mahi Mahi, Tuna or Wahoo to be enjoyed as ceviche, tartare, tacos... the options are limitless with Chef and First Mate Neen.


Britnie is an adventurous and creative individual who was born in Upstate New York and grew up all over the country. She found herself living in the Virgin Islands seven years ago. She spent many years in the service industry as a bartender, cocktail waitress, and server throughout and after her college career while also freelancing as a photographer. Britnie got her STCW in 2016 and worked as a first mate and tour guide on day charter boats throughout the islands. After experiencing hurricanes Irma and Maria she left Island to enter the yachting industry and worked her way up to Chief Stew due to her attention to detail and dedication to guest’s needs. The call of the islands was too great and she’s back to her home with us here in St. Thomas.
