“Home is on the ocean.”
Findlay
Captain
Inspired by his father, Finn’s passion for boats and the ocean began at an early age. He grew up sailing on the West Coast of Scotland and earned his Yachtmaster Offshore qualification by age 18, which launched his maritime career.
He spent a number of years in the Mediterranean, working on superyachts and skippering charters around Greece and Turkey, and enjoyed creating bespoke sailing adventures for guests.
Finn left the industry only to pursue his University Degree in Technology, which allowed him to broaden his technical skills and travel to South Africa and Canada. He soon returned to the marine industry and captained a charter catamaran in the Virgin Islands, building a strong reputation.
Finn is dedicated to delivering exceptional guest experiences, prioritizing safety, personalized service, and building lasting relationships with guests. His adaptability and commitment to exceeding expectations create a welcoming and memorable environment for all onboard.
"The best crew bring the best energy."
Mitch
First Officer
Mitch’s passion for life on the water began nearly a decade ago, when his father purchased a boat and he quickly immersed himself in every aspect of its care, operation, and maintenance. What started as hands-on experience soon developed into a clear path into the yachting industry.
Since then, Mitch has worked aboard 54- to 80-foot charter catamarans throughout the Caribbean, as well as on larger superyachts, building a strong foundation in guest service, deck operations, and vessel upkeep.
As First Officer aboard SÓL, he is known for his upbeat nature, approachable personality, and ever-present smile. Attentive without being intrusive, Mitch takes great pride in ensuring the yacht is maintained to an impeccable standard while helping guests feel relaxed, safe, and well cared for throughout their time on board.
“Traveling is food for the soul.”
Cara
Chef
Born and raised in Edinburgh, Cara spent her early years traveling through Europe in a van with her parents and always loved the idea of living on the road. After pursuing an arts degree, she left Scotland to explore the globe. She moved to Australia and got her first job in a kitchen. There was no turning back and she began her journey cooking across the world.
In 2017, Cara received her SCUBA instruction certification in Honduras and began her yachting career. Sailing became her full-time life. She traveled across 60 countries and sailed in some of the most remote corners of the earth, including Tahiti and Fiji. The British Virgin Islands has always had her heart.
"Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown."
Naomi
Chief Stewardess
Naomi grew up in England, and has always had a passion for adventure and travel. Her first experience on the water was when she stepped onboard an ocean research expedition ship. During this trip she learned classical sailing techniques and worked with professionals to learn about the conservation of marine wildlife.
Prior to this, Naomi had worked in the hospitality industry for 7 years. She has worked in fine dining restaurants and cocktail bars, and as events staff. She then decided that working in the yachting industry was a perfect mixture of the two things she loves the most, and joined some friends working in the industry in the Mediterranean, working as a chef and sole stewardess on sailing yachts in Croatia and Greece. She then went on to work on yachts in Antigua and the BVI.
Naomi prides herself in bringing precision, creativity, and a calm, service-driven presence to life onboard. She excels in tailoring bespoke charter experiences, offering guests a blend of comfort, personalization, and memorable service with each adventure aboard SÓL.
