Your crew: Zane & Shivani

Zane grew up in the mountains of Colorado where he developed a deep passion for the outdoors. After college Zane could not resist the allure of the ocean and moved to San Francisco to pursue his dream of sailing professionally. He has since been working in the marine industry on a variety of sailing and motor vessels throughout North America, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe. Through these experiences Zane earned his USCG masters license and has worked in the capacity of rigger, carpenter, engineer, chief mate and captain. When he is not sailing, Zane continues to enjoy the outdoors, spending time camping, fly fishing, surfing and SCUBA diving, he is always excited to share these pastimes with guests.

Shivani grew up in southern California where she attended college and earned a B.S. in Marketing. Her parents owned and operated a small restaurant there where she worked just about every day for 4 years. Watching the restaurant’s patrons swoon over her mother’s fresh, healthy and thoughtful array of recipes was the spark that commenced her interest in cooking. Soon after college she moved to New England where she worked in admissions at a university. Shivani’s position at the university allowed her to travel around New England and eventually meet Zane who introduced her to a life and career on the water. She has now earned her Captains License and has sailed from Maine to Aruba as Captain, Chef and Mate on several different yachts.

In deciding to begin a life together, Zane and Shivani are thrilled to do so through their passion of working on the water. They are excited to offer their guests a diverse itinerary, an exciting menu and an idyllic atmosphere aboard Trident Tides.
