Capt. Stefan Gashus
I love teaching clients to sail, and I enjoy being able to take them to interesting islands and places they may have never traveled before. Because I hold a Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant designation, as well as my sailing credentials, I feel qualified to recognize the true value of boating and providing a quality experience. I have captained ocean yacht deliveries and charters throughout the Pacific Northwest, Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Grenada, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, U. S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands and Dominican Republic.


Chef Rachael Denning
Come Adventure in the Caribbean with Chef Rachael!

East coast, born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Rachael spent her summers living with her extended family in Newburyport, MA, and North Wildwood, NJ. These places are where sailing first caught her eye. For the past two years she has been a crew member of Sail Wild Hearts in sweet home Orange Beach, Alabama. Rachael enjoys surfing, yoga, tennis, playing her steel drum, braiding hair, and making people laugh. She attended the majority of her college years at the University of Pittsburgh Johnstown, majoring in Chemical Engineering with career aspirations of, one day, starting her own Holistic company. Having a deep passion for clean personal care products, Rachael aspires to fulfill a greater purpose by protecting public health from dangerous ingredients that are commonly found in our everyday household items.

Her culinary experience has been exemplified in her nine years dedicated to the restaurant industry. Fulfilling every position from the front of the house to the back of the house, Rachael took the most liking to the Food aspect of a restaurant. Notably, her “cheffing journey really took off after her first sailboat delivery, where her crew consisted of two Israelis and a South American. This inspired her to continue developing the diversity of her culinary expertise in various locations including a Mediterranean kitchen and a quaint Italian cafe. Gaining knowledge every day through worldly experiences, Chef Rachael offers a wide variety of cultural cuisines. Today, her culinary style renders flavors of American, Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican, and is working on incorporating flavors of the Caribbean. As her grandmother always says, “If you can read a recipe, you can cook anything!.

Rachael is truly someone who cares about others. Understanding the role of her job, her goal is to ensure her guests are enjoying their time to the fullest. Nothing is too extravagant; she finds it important to go above and beyond for her guests to ensure your vacation will be unforgettable!
