Meet our Crew
Captain Harry and Chef Kristen are an adventurous couple who met on a bus while traveling through Morocco and have been exploring the world together ever since, whether it is on land or at sea.
Captain Harry was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. Harry has always been drawn to the water. He began sailing at just six years old, racing Sabots and Flying 11 dinghies before progressing to larger yachts as a bowman. With over five years of professional experience in the industry, Harry has turned a lifelong passion into a rewarding career. After earning a degree in commerce, Harry quickly realized the corporate world wasn't for him. Instead, he chose to follow his love for the ocean, skippering yachts along Australia's east coast, working aboard charter super yachts, and completing sailing passages across the globe. A passionate ocean lover, Harry has been a certified SCUBA diver since age 17 and an instructor for over three years. He enjoys taking guests to vibrant reef systems and historic wrecks, sharing the unique marine life and stories of each cruising area. For Harry, the best part of skippering is discovering new destinations and uncovering hidden gems. Whether it's a secluded bay, a thriving reef, or a laid-back beach bar, he's always seeking out special places to share with guests.
Chef Kristen Born and raised in Maryland, Kristen developed her love for the ocean sailing with her family on the Chesapeake Bay. Her passion for cooking has always been part of her travels, whenever she visits somewhere new she immerses herself in local food traditions. After taking a break from her career as a software engineer to travel the world, Kristen's cooking career began during the pandemic when she worked as a chef at an eco-lodge in Colombia, preparing farm to table plant based meals. She later spent summers in Costa Rica at wellness retreats creating health-conscious meals. While building an app to teach sourdough baking, she was able to learn the skill on her own and now she loves finding a way to incorporate sourdough in any baked goods. Now, Kristen has combined her two passions of cooking and the ocean. She's excited to share her love of healthy and nourishing cuisine with her guests. When she's not cooking in the galley, Kristen is out with Harry exploring the world; hiking volcanoes, cycling, skiing, scuba diving and surfing wherever adventure calls.

Dearest Harry and Kristen,
We cannot thank you enough for every single thing you did for the 8 of us. Every meal, boat ride, bed making, the thoughtfulness of the route and each and every stop. Y'alls attention to every detail was top notch and your attitudes and energy made the trip. Your tenderness to our kiddos was top notch and how you strived to make each of their days the best possible meant the world to us. We are so thankful for the friendships made and all the memories made. We appreciate the two of you more than we can say! All out love!

November 2025 BVI Charter
Dear Harry and Kristen,
We can't thank you enough for your incredible hospitality during our time with you. Your attention to detail is truly exquisite! I planned this trip to surprise my husband for his 40th along with his very best friends, and you all made this trip memorable from start to finish. The course you plotted for us was exactly perfect. The diving was fantastic, but the meals were a personal highlight... Kristen wowed us every night, every morning and every lunch! The boat was also the most perfect place for us to have our wholesome reading time, cocktails, and lounging on all the rafts. You have without a doubt set a new standard for all future vacations. I can't thank you enough for this experience.

Dear Captain Ivan and Chef Marisia,
We had a spectacular, once in a lifetime (but we'll be back) trip!!! It was the perfect combination of relaxation, activities, and first-class hospitality!
You made Olivia's 18th birthday an awesome memory - from diving to great meals and festive decorations, we could not have asked for more.
The diver was incredible. The swimming and snorkeling as beautiful as we dreamed and every shore experience was perfect!
The food could not have been better! Chef Marisia is incredibly talented and prepared all of our favorite foods every day, ending with sushi experience our favorite ! But most of all, it was both of you that made this the best vacation ever! Your energy. Laughter and kind spirits made us feel not just like your friends but like family!
We hope to see you both of you again very soon.

We could not have hoped for a better and more attentive crew for our first attempt on a boat charter. You made our week with our kids such a special memory. Thank you for all your work coordinating with our friends on two other boats with two other sets of crew as we realize that could not have been an easy ask. You are both such positive lights and bring joyful energy to the room. Thank you for anticipation of our every need. This is one of the most special trips we have ever experienced. The two of you are such wonderful people and made us feel special the entire trip. The two of you make a perfect team, and anyone would be lucky to have you as their crew. From the food to the stops the safety and helping all of us , you have created something truly special.

Exploring the sea creatures educating us all about BVI wild life all of these fantastic memories were effortlessly provided while creating delicious meals (Marisia queen of the sea and kitchen)and guiding the vessel like pro captain Ivan is.

Wow, what a great experience. Ivan and Marisia went above and beyond our family expectations. They were knowledgeable about the area and extremely experienced in the realm of sailing. Marisia even helped entertain our 5 year old daughter and truly went above and beyond, teaching her to snorkel and to be comfortable in the ocean. Was HUGE! She also did such a fantastic job with the menu that the meals that's heaven prepared, were delicious, varied, and presented beautifully. They were flexible with our itinerary and did such a great job guiding us through the amazingly locations. It's clear they take pride in their work, work well as a team, and take care of their vessel, so it's in tip-top shape at all times.
We can't wait to book again.

This was our best catamaran trip yet. The crew were a fantastic crew who understood all we were looking for & had great knowledge to share & such enthusiasm for life! Our group of 6 all loved our time on Ether!
May 2024
This trip was absolutely perfect and it was all thanks to Ivan and Marisia! We were absolutely spoiled and no other sailing trip will ever compare. We all got to experience new things and some of us conquered our fears of the ocean thanks to the calm and expert guidance of our crew. When we get home we will all forever be longing to hear the conch shell for the chef's spectacular meals. Please come visit us. Thank you for a week of unforgettable memories.

This week has been incredible starting with the warm welcome and big hugs. It was easy to see your genuine personalities and bubbling energy. We knew you were the perfect fit for us! Chef-your attention to meals was over the top and much appreciated. I don't think we ate one thing that we didn't like. We also appreciated the variety of snacks set out for any time. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious never lose that ! You both made us feel at home and inspire us to return sooner than later. We will definitely miss you especially Monday morning when we are making our own breakfast! You are truly something special and we feel blessed to know you. We wish you all the luck. Thank you for the most unforgettable week and for letting us be part of your world. Stay in touch .

We just competed an 8 day charter with Ether and her crew and had a wonderful time. They are both kind and energetic people who are outstanding professionals. I would not hesitate in the future to book them for a repeat charter and hope to do so. I can highly recommend them for your next BVI trip.

The crew of Ether were just incredible. As I shared with them there is customer service and there is customer experience. Customer service is how you treat someone, customer experience is how that person feels treated. I believe I can speak for each and every one of us that were on the trip that they treated us like Royalty! The food was better than a 5 star hotel and their patience, kindness, and humbleness is unheard of in today’s world. If there is anything that we can do to pass on our gratitude to whomever they work for or our appreciation please let us know. Again I lack the words to convey how amazing they were. THEY made the TRIP!!

I know I speak for all of us when I say WOW! We all expected the BVI to be gorgeous, and it sure was, but what we didn’t expect was just how great the actual charter experience would be. Karma was a beauty! She was perfect for the 4 of us; giving everyone plenty of room to spread out and relax, or allowing us all to join together for dinner/drinks/music/story time. The provided towels, sunscreen, cups/koozies, shampoo and conditioner really put the cherry on the top. Extra kudos to the AMAZING AC in the cabins. Very unexpected and greatly appreciated. Carol and I also really enjoyed our time up front during the sailings and also was our favorite way to end our nights with some music from their provided speaker. 10 out of 10 for Karma!!
Now onto our top notch crew….Jake and Mackenzie could NOT have been any better. From our communication beforehand, all the way to our “forced” departure from Karma was nothing short of perfection.
Jake wears 100 hats on that yacht: some being captain, plumber, electrician, dingy transporter, keeping everyone informed of the daily plans, leading you in scuba dives, arranging on shore transportation, and our favorite hat was his patience and sweet smile/smirk while listening to our LOUD antics. Jake is so knowledgeable about all things BVI and yachting, we all felt completely safe and in good hands.
And now let’s talk about Mackenzie…THIS FOOD!!!! We woke up every morning to the unreal smells of her breakfast filling our cabins. Mid day “snacks” were gourmet and mouth watering even for our picky boys. And her dinners…..HOLY SMOKES!! I have no clue how she was able to do it every single night, but she did!! Top tier meals and desserts that left all of us ready to pop. We told her in advance our boys like plain food and she took “plain food” and elevated it into a three MICHELIN star meal that had our boys cleaning their plates. She is so thoughtful in everything she makes and it shows in taste and gorgeous presentation.
On top of shared yacht time, we were able to spend some time with them off yacht, per OUR request, and really feel like we left with two more family members. From Shark Shots, family meetings, lobster dinner ashore, random story times, the 7/14 game at Hendo’s, girl time in the water at Soggy’s, my surprise 50th bday decorations and cake, to the real sign of adoration…nicknames!!! Jake Ma Boy and Mack Daddy will come highly recommended from our group to anyone and everyone that asks, and they have an open invitation to stay with us in San Antonio!
Another Happy Karma Guest,

From the hugs at greeting us on Day 1, to our daily 'Captain Lectures', the Hoyle 7 had a memorable and fun week courtesy of you. So many highs - from tubing, wakeskating, hiking, the Baths (scaring you both and Patsy by "disappearing" ;) ) to paddleboarding, chilling at Soggy Dollar and snorkeling! I'm sure I'm forgetting a few! The experience was 5 stars and you both were so warm and welcoming. Last bu not least - the food was absolutely AHMAYZING! If you're ever in San Diego, please look us up! Lots of love, the Hoyle 7
