TRIWING CARIDA – Caribbean

Jonny is a qualified Charter Yacht Captain with more than 10 years of professional experience across watersports and the luxury marine industry, underpinned by a lifelong passion for the ocean.

Growing up sailing, surfing, and kitesurfing in the North East of England, Jonny naturally built a career around life on the water. He has spent the past six years living and working in the British Virgin Islands, developing an extensive knowledge of the region’s waters, anchorages, islands, and hidden locations. His first-hand experience of the BVI allows him to offer guests an authentic and highly personalised experience of one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated cruising destinations.

His career has included senior leadership positions such as Head of Watersports at Necker Island, Richard Branson’s private island retreat, where he developed extensive experience in vessel operations, crew leadership, guest safety, and delivering exceptional service in a high-end environment.

A qualified Divemaster with extensive marine knowledge, Jonny brings a calm and professional presence to every voyage while ensuring a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere onboard. His background in sailing, foiling, surfing, kitesurfing, and diving has given him a deep respect for the ocean, an ability to adapt confidently to changing conditions, and an unwavering focus on safety and performance.

Having spent six years immersed in life in the BVI, Jonny has developed an intimate understanding of the destination beyond the well-known charter routes. From finding the right anchorage and reading local conditions to discovering quieter bays, exceptional snorkelling spots, and unique island experiences, he brings valuable local knowledge to every itinerary.

Passionate about exploration and continuous learning, Jonny regularly travels in search of new destinations, experiences, and challenges, continually developing his skills both above and below the water. For him, life and work are intrinsically connected to the ocean, allowing him to bring genuine enthusiasm, energy, and authentic experience to every charter.

Molly spent her childhood exploring the world with her family, gaining a deep appreciation for other cultures and often experiencing this through food. She began solo traveling in her twenties where she fell in love with South east Asia and Mediterranean cooking. Having learnt to cook, she continued to travel in her kitchen, experimenting with new and exciting recipes.

Driven by a love of travel, the ocean, and fine cuisine, she eventually found her way to the yachting world—a place where culinary creativity meets adventure. Molly brings global flavors, seasonal ingredients, and personalised menus to life for guests exploring some of the most beautiful destinations on earth. After a couple of summer seasons in the Mediterranean exploring Croatia, Greece and Sicily, Molly swapped the sea for the slopes and worked as a private chef in ski chalets in France. Whilst she loved learning to ski, the beach called again and Molly answered, bringing her to the beautiful British Virgin Islands.

As Molly begins her second season in the British Virgin Islands, she plans to continue creating exceptional dishes to wow guests. Off the boat, Molly looks forward to putting on her scuba gear and enjoying the wonderful underwater garden the Caribbean has to offer.

Every meal is an opportunity for Molly to tell a story, and every charter is a chance to elevate the experience through food. Whether provisioning in remote ports or designing menus around dietary needs and cultural preferences, she takes pride in being adaptable, resourceful, and always passionate about what she does. Molly can’t wait to welcome you onboard Triwing Carida and cook up a storm!
