CAPTAIN PATRIC
Born in Switzerland Patric has traveled extensively following his love of sailing and diving.
As RYA Yacht Master he has sailed in many of our seas. In Europe, the Caribbean, and Australia, he fulfilled his love of offshore racing.
As a Dive Instructor Patric has taught and dived in some of the best locations in the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, the Red Sea, Maldives, and South Africa.
In the BVI he spent 3 years teaching Sailing and Diving to youngsters within a summer camp program before moving on to crewed yachts.
A great sense of humor and a professional, open, and relaxed manner will make you feel special, safe, and at home the moment you, your family, and friends step aboard Tranquility. There is no request too big “except the one regarding the elephant” and no cocktail too bizarre that Patric cannot cater to.
CHEF/HOSTESS MARY

STEWARDESS DIANNE
Born in Northern Ireland, Diane has spent the last 30 years living in many interesting places. Arriving in BVI for a week in 2015, she fell in love with the place and decided to stay a wee while longer, and has been working in the industry since.
Growing up on a farm, she has a strong work ethic and is always ready to help you in any way she can. With her ‘heavy-handed’ pours, she’ll fix you a drink any time of the day.
When not on the boat, she can be found lambing sheep in Canada, Scotland, England, or France and summers driving tractors, all for fun. Diane looks forward to welcoming you on board and getting to know how you like your coffee.
She enjoys traveling, hiking, horse riding, and yoga and enjoys learning about other cultures and great food. Ask her about driving the tractor!
MATE JACK
Hailing from the cold North of England, Jack is the First Mate/Dive Instructor onboard SY Tranquillity. Growing up Jack spent most of his free time playing sports, he played competitive rugby and enjoyed hiking and skateboarding too. He has since spent the last decade travelling around the world working both above the water on boats and below the water as a scuba diver. He has a passion for all things water-related, along with diving he is a keen surfer and wakeboarder – he is always eager to introduce others to the aquatic world! His prior work has taken him from the desert shores of the Middle East to the icy waters of the Arctic Circle and has now been settled in the beautiful Caribbean islands for five years. During his time off you can find him cycling or backpacking around some far-flung countries exploring different cultures and landscapes.
CAPTAIN JARED
Born in the town of Durban, South Africa, Jared spent much of his youth living the coastal life and working with his father in boat and house renovations. Seeking adventure in 2015 Jared undertook a year of training at Sodwana Bay Academy where he achieved his PADI dive instructor certification. Shortly after he scored his first job in the BVI working at a commercial dive shop, learning everything about the island waters, above and below the sea.
Three years later Jared gained his RYA Yacht Master certificate. In 2019 he jointly purchased a 51ft sailing Ketch which operates popular daycharter trips in the BVI. Since this time he has worked on Tranquility for two seasons as First Mate and since January 2024 the rotation captain.
