MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: David Stanley
CHEF: Olivia Boyd
STEWARDESS: Naomi Timms
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, David developed an insatiable taste for travel and the ocean. Growing up over a large variety of locations, he managed to explore various different parts of his home country, discovering quickly that each place has its own unique magic, culture and people. He always managed to find himself back in Cape Town for large portions of the year, spending time snorkeling, swimming and enjoying the South African coast.
At the age of 14, David traveled to Mauritius for his first overseas trip and spent weeks on the water learning about water-skiing, marine wildlife and power boats. This prompted a further desire to see the world and travel. A few years later, having worked as a cocktail bartender for some time, he moved to the UK to hone his craft, finding work in one of London’s oldest pubs and learning from some incredible “sipsmiths”. He’s a classic cocktail fanatic and never turns down the opportunity to create something new and fun.
In 2019, David packed up all his belongings, sold his car and decided that the sea was his home. He began sailing commercially in Croatia and Greece for the flotilla company “The Yacht Week”, learning plenty from the yachts and the many guests he’s worked with. Creating many connections and friends along the way. He then migrated to the Caribbean where he has worked on a catamaran for the past 2 years.
A fun-loving, free-spirited young man, David always enjoys sparking up a conversation and showing his peers/guests the ropes of sailing.
Olivia is a natural people-person with a talent for making you feel as though you’ve known her forever – fun loving, vivacious and energetic – she will be sure to create a warm stay that will be enjoyable, carefree, unique and curated to each guest she meets! Warm weather and a love for the sea brought Olivia from Northern Virginia, USA, to The University of Tampa, Florida, where she studied communications and film photography! Olivia fell in love with the islands at an early age after visiting with her family over the years, her sailing journey began on a leopard catamaran at the age of 11. Her hospitality experience has come from helping and working in her home kitchen with family and friends. Her family are wonderfully sociable and so she has grown up in a home with great hosts as her role models. With a yacht chef certificate from The Ashburton Cookery School in Devon, UK, she took her love for hosting and food preparation to a career in yachting. Olivia has 6 years of charter chef experience, making St. Thomas her home base these past 6 years!
Always happy to whip up poké, lobster, cracked conch or whatever the islands have to offer – bright and warm flavors are key in her galley! Olivia is eager to cook for you on your Sip Sip adventure!
Naomi grew up in the UK. She studied Environmental Science at university and is passionate about marine conservation and ecology. Her love for sailing sparked when she took part in a marine conservation expedition aboard a tall ship. During this trip she learned classic sailing techniques and worked with professionals to learn about the conservation of marine wildlife.
Naomi has worked in the hospitality for the past 8 years, she has worked in fine dining restaurants, cocktail bars, catered for events and weddings. She decided that working on yachts was a perfect mixture of the two things she loves doing the most and decided to leave her hospitality job on land to work for a large flotilla company in the Mediterranean. She has worked on sailing yachts in Croatia, Greece, Antigua, and the BVI’s.
In her free time, Naomi loves exploring, hiking, surfing and paddle boarding, however her number one interest and passion is the ocean and as a PADI Dive Master Naomi cannot wait to share this love with her guests.
David, Olivia and Naomi are eager to welcome you aboard Sip Sip and offer you the most memorable vacation experience ever, in the Virgin Islands.
