Onboard catamaran ELYSIAN for lunch in St Thomas
There is no better way to win my heart than with a great meal - and Chef Kelsey Wilson managed to do that 100%. Trained at Asburton in southern England Kelsey is confident, knowledgeable, versatile and creative. Today she is serving a delicious Asian peanut noodle salad with raw tuna seared in sesame oil and soy marinated tofu for the vegans. And chocolate mousse with a Thai spice twist in coconut milk - topped with fresh ginger, lime zest, Thai basil and mint. Honestly the best mousse I have ever tasted.
The only 5.4 with an efoil. Liam has s an expert and can teach you how to use it in a couple of days.

Captain: Liam Wilson
Jonah walked away from an engineering career to chase wind full-time, and now runs Elysian with a calm, dialed-in style that lets guests feel both safe and unleashed. He reads a group fast, then builds routes that hit the sweet spot between easygoing luxury and serious adventure.

- Certified in STCW, ENG1, RYA VHF Radio, RYA First Aid, and RYA PPR.
- Professional sailing instructor, happy to teach guests the helm and sail handling underway.
Nicole shifted from the classroom to the galley and now turns fresh island ingredients into sharp, memorable plates that match your pace—slow sunrise breakfasts, long-table feasts, or kid-ready comfort, all dialed in without fuss. Her easy energy keeps the boat bright, from dance tracks at sundown to quiet coffee at first light.

Liam came off big Aussie race dinghies and into pro skippering and sail instruction, running Elysian with quiet control while slipping guests into exactly the right mix of hidden anchorages, drone-shot sunsets, and hands-on wheel time. He tunes each day to your speed—float-all-afternoon calm or throttle-open island-hopping.
- Professional captain and ASA-certified sailing instructor.
- Charter experience across both the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
- Background in surveying and mining engineering before moving full-time into yachting.

She keeps things human and easy, so guests drop their shoulders and stay present.

Reviews
Liam’s experience and knowledge is incredible and made our week so much better than we could imagine!
Kelsey’s food was not only beautifully plated - every time, but the taste was delicious! So creative and unbelievable that you can create all of it on a boat! Thank you for accommodating our different likes!
Along with the many cuisine favors made, the creative drinks were great!
Thank you! Take Care!
We are so fortunate to have gotten you guys as our crew. You helped turn a vacation into a life experience. We hope to travel with you guys again in the future!!!
Health and happiness and safe travels.
Our time in the BVIs could not have gone any smoother without Liam’s expertise and knowledge of the region. We hiked, snorkeled with turtles, sting rays, and star fish, visited local beach bars, and relaxed in the Caribbean sun. We’re forever grateful and impressed by his drone footage and ability to maneuver through the crowds for the best anchor spot.
Chef Kelsey hit the ball out of the park with each and every meal that she made. She catered to each of our palates with ease. Olive oil and citrus cake, Mediterranean lamb and chicken, shakshuka, mahi tacos and peanut butter pie were among our favorites. The combination of flavors and textures showed her true skill and passion for crafting incredible meals.
Our only hope is that they visit us in Nevada to reciprocate their genuine hospitality while we were with them!
Double tubing with Griffin and Rawson and the grill out thanks for making my birthday special.
Connecting boats with all of our friends and all the amazing food.
Waking up on Weston’s b-day and seeing all of the fun decorations. The delicious morning caramel lattes!
The food, the playlists, the expert “captaining” - could not have been better. You two are A+!!
professional and fun. She is incredibly knowledgeable regarding sailing and has unique and personal stories about everywhere we go and everything we see. She also knows how to have fun and gives the best recommendations on day activities we should participate in because she always has the best relationships with locals, and knows what fits for her guests. I could literally write about Orlagh singing her praises forever, but you get the gist.
So intelligent, sweet, and goes above and beyond.

Jacob was always up early starting coffee and performing his captain duties, and he even helped our chef with some of the meals & her responsibilities.
He was well versed in first aid, as one day I had a small cut on my ankle and he cleaned and bandaged it for me. We were quite impressed during our trip because he always sailed using the sails vs. using the motor, which may have been because of the great weather we had, but regardless, we enjoyed our time on the yacht tremendously.
Alex is a ridiculously good chef, and kept us on track and informed throughout our stay, and made every person on board feel special. She is an amazing person and part of an excellent overall team.
I was so impressed by his professionalism, knowledge of the islands, and basically everything about the water. Jacob was always smiling, and he knew just where to take us to snorkel and things to tell us to look out for.
He was happy to take us to the islands in the dingy, and really made our trip so special. We enjoyed having Jacob for our charter, he is quite an impressive captain.
Alex was beyond words amazing!!
Besides being a phenomenal person, she is a gourmet chef!! She took incredible care of each one of us, prepared incredible meals, and made the entire experience perfection!!
She handled our every need, want and just made every moment fabulous!
I couldn’t believe how delicious all of the meals were. She made sure we were ready and on time for all events. I can’t imagine this trip without her!
Jacob is professional, smart, kind, witty and I highly recommend him without hesitation.
I would not hesitate to charter with this team again, and I plan to next year!!
