Captain
Matthew Ross

Matthew was born in the UK but moved to Jamaica when he was eight years old. Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, it was inevitable he would find a career on the water. Matthew is a true water baby, having both swam and played water polo for Jamaica. His journey to yachting started when his family purchased a Sadler 32' when he was fifteen. Although learning on smaller sail boats from the age of ten, the 32' Sadler was a great stepping stone into what would train him to become a sailor.

He worked for seven years in the field of architecture, as well as growing his honey business in Jamaica. He then decided to test the waters as a professional captain in the Mediterranean. Matthew has now worked seven summer seasons in the Med, chartering in Croatia, Greece, Italy, and Spain. He has also spent a season in the Virgin Islands and a season in the Bahamas showing guests all over the world what amazing experiences can be had on a charter yacht.

Matthew is an avid yachtsman, Kiteboarder (also instructor) and Beekeeper, spending his off seasons kiteboarding and tending to his bees back home in Jamaica. Matthew has a true love for the Exumas, saying: "It's like another planet, it's unreal" and looks forward to showing you all it has to offer.



Chef
Todd Corboy

Chef Todd lives a life driven by two of his biggest passions: cooking and sailing (traveling the world). He grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis, MD and it is there that these passions were born.

Todd was introduced to sailing at the age of 6 and has been involved in racing, cruising and, on occasion, even coaching, ever since. The freedom which sailing allows and the ability to harness wind energy have carried him across both the Chesapeake and San Francisco Bays, up and down the eastern seaboard, across the Atlantic Ocean and throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Bahamas.

At the age of 15 Todd began to explore his passion for cooking. He cut his teeth in a local seafood restaurant before learning classic French technique and later focusing on regional Italian cuisine. He went to Europe to further hone his craft as a Sous Chef in Vienna, Austria and apprenticed under a famous butcher in the hills of Tuscany. He has also attended cooking schools in Vietnam, Thailand and Mexico.

It is through the yachting industry that Todd has been able to combine these passions. He has been a private chef aboard 150’ motor yachts cruising the Caribbean as well as a 90’ sailing yacht on an Atlantic crossing which then continued throughout to the Greek Isles.

As a Chef, Todd describes his style as New American with Coastal Mediterranean influences. His focus is on local and sustainable seafood, meats and produce. Todd’s travels have brought him all over the world and he brings the experience, flavors, techniques and inspirations with him and is eager to share them with you!
