Captain Taylor Smith
Taylor grew up in Central Virginia, splitting summers between driving ski boats on the lake and traveling in the family RV to every state with a road to it. After earning a business degree with honors from Appalachian State University, Taylor pursued a passion for living outside of the box. Playing in a touring rock band transitioned to extended trekking in South America, which led to bartending in Breckenridge, Colorado. After a few years of the ski bum life, the dream of setting off for points unknown in a sailboat started to form. He jumped head first into sailing and within a short period he was a licensed captain living aboard and traveling on his own boat.

The Cuisine- Chef Margaret Harrington
The Onboard Dining Experience
On Ebb + Flow, we offer a very unique menu style. Through observation and direct feedback, we’ve created a menu plan that caters to more time in and on the water, adventure and activities and less time feeling tired from eating too much. Because Margaret is a bonafide mermaid, Dive Master, Yoga Teacher, underwater hunter, and avid hiker, she can dedicate her time towards activities with you in the morning while showcasing her best culinary skills in the afternoon and evening.
What we offer is better… think “energize”. We want you feeling satiated, not heavy and tired from eating all day.
Our premier menu plan is two fully cooked meals: Brunch + Dinner. To start the day, a lighter continental style breakfast* will be available to graze on as individuals rise and shine. Additionally, appetizers and homemade desserts will be served as desired. Snacks will be available all day.
*Options are chosen as a charter entity prior to charter, in the preference sheet.
Chef Margaret will work with you and your group to determine the best options in a phone call about a month prior to your charter date. She maintains flexibility and welcomes an open conversation throughout the charter experience in regards to timing meals and specific needs. Her ultimate goal is to have people feeling vitalized through a nutritional, healthy, and even indulgent week aboard Ebb & Flow through her attentiveness and care.
Please keep in mind, planning is essential. Because we often visit remote places, access to provisions can be limited and extremely costly. Prior to your charter, each charter guest will be required to fill out a “Guest Profile + Preference Sheet”, which is a place to share your specific provision needs, preferences, and allergies.

A great meal nourishes the body and captivates all the senses, while bringing family and friends together in a setting that completes the experience.
