Crew Information
Captain: Andre Carmo
<b>About André and Fifi</b>
André and Fifi are a young couple with a great sense of adventure and love for exploring the world. They have been together for +7 years and recently got married in Portugal (summer 2024). They work great as a team and have a very positive and happy attitude towards life. Now heading to a second season in the BVI, they have also operated luxury charters in Sint Maarten and Croatia.
<b>About Captain André </b>
Captain André started sailing optimists when he was 7 years old in the Atlantic Ocean. Coming from a family of sailors, the passion for sailing is in his blood. After a couple of years racing, at age 16, he started to instruct young sailors and coach them for racing regattas.
Eventually he started to teach adults and getting his licenses for open water deliveries, thus becoming one of the youngest ocean captains in Portugal.
During this journey, he also kept working on another passion of his: Photography and Cinematography. So it didn’t take long until he joined these two skills and set a goal to be part of the Ocean Race (former known as Volvo Ocean Race). He started his own production company and shot and filmed onboard a lot of performance racing yachts including VO65 and Imocas. He also worked for the biggest sailing YouTube channel in the world: Sailing La Vagabonde. With 4 Atlantic Ocean crossings completed, he has a goal of crossing solo the Atlantic Ocean on a 21 ft. boat racing the mini transat.
André holds the Portuguese ocean skipper license, IYT/MCA 200t and STCW. He has a true passion for the ocean and everything related to it. And together with Chef Fifi, they provide one of a kind charters filled of good times.
<b>About Chef Fifi</b>
Chef Fifi grew up in Portugal, always near the water and sun. Her family had a small boat with which she would explore the beaches in the south of Portugal. She took her day skipper license while studying in college - bachelor degree in Cell and Molecular Biology and Masters degree in Data Science.
When André suggested doing charters together, she of course thought it was a perfect idea as she loves boats, cooking and hosting! So, once she finished her studies, she jumped right away on this adventure. She constantly seeks to perfect her cooking skills, including taking a course in one of the most renowned cooking schools in London- The Avenue Cookery School.
She has since sailed in the BVIs, Sint Maarten and Croatia, cooking local specialties from each place and always loving to host with a big smile on her face.

Reviews
Beautiful surroundings & a well appointed vessel. Brynn and Amber were a great team, working together to keep us fed, entertained and safe.
Amber is a fantastic chef, creating beautiful and healthy/tasty meals and snacks for us, accommodating food allergies/sensitivities and preferences.
Bryan skillfully navigated us around the BVIs with a great sense of humor and mixology skills! Always helping with whatever needed to be done!
Highly recommend this crew and would certainly do this trip again. Great views, great time and great crew.
Thank you!
Craig & Cindy Perry
Amber may as well be a floating Michelin star restaurant- holy smokes can she cook!
Bryan is an expert navigator whom also "does it all" while keeping people laughing with his wit and a smile on his face.
There is zero doubt, I will be taking this trip again and will be requesting both of them.
Headed home to try to replicate Bryan's painkiller cocktail!

Captain Lily handled the boat expertly and meticulously with an eye on our safety at all times, from the first safety briefing to our very early in the morning departure. On top of that she is always pleasant , flexible and eager to be of service. She is also full of fun stories when encouraged to share and happy to share her sailing knowledge. She planned a great itinerary for us around the islands, keeping us COVID safe, and was flexible to accommodate changes as circumstances changed. The water at the Baths were too ruff when we arrived, with red flag out, so she took us to another bay, and with our Chef Amber, arranged for a taxi to take us to the Baths by land. They were spectacular and a highlight of our trip. Lily worked in great partnership with Amber to create a seamless team providing for all our needs and going well beyond. I eagerly look forward to our next trip with Captain Lily. She and Amber make an amazing team. Peter.
Chef Amber creating culinary delights:
Chef Amber loves to be creative with her cooking and ensuring she meets every passenger’s culinary needs. Our meals were always very nutritious, healthy, delicious and beautiful to look at. We took pictures of every meal, they were that good looking. Could not have asked for better. For me I wanted to make sure not to over eat so I asked Amber to adjust my portions. She made sure that I got the right portions for me every time. Amber was fantastic with deserts. I am a chocoholic and have sampled many chocolate brownies, but Amber’s was the best I have ever had. On top of all that she is always smiling and eager to be of service. Can’t wait for our next trip on Island Kisses to sample Amber’s new creations. Peter.
Knowledgeable. Flexible. Good communicator. Cool, calm & collected. Made us feel safe. Explained things very well. Great balance of being with us and yet not being in our business and professional. Only regret is not playing more Mexican train with her. Excellent at tubing.
Chef Amber
Delicious food. Wonderful variety and flexibility. Positive disposition and again, cool, calm & collected. It made us feel at home for a week. Can level up to adults and level down to children with great ease. We were all happy campers with our chef and she took it from good to great for us.
MXXXI Family
Hands down the best captain. She radiates skill, confidents and poise. When you step on the boat you know immediately that she has everything under control. She makes you feel comfortable and safe. Not only is she a phenomenal captain, she is genuine and fun. Her cocktails are amazing and her cultural knowledge that follows it is very impressive. You will want her on your team when playing games!
Chef Amber -
It is impossible for Amber to make anything less than five stars. Her creations are next level and truly elevate the boating experience. She is extremely considerate of your dietary needs and you will never be hungry. Along with her phenomenal cooking skills is a hilarious personality. Her mannerisms and comedic timing are impeccable. I look forward to the day her cookbook is published!
-Emily, Kim & Nadine
Talent, confidence, calmness and experience all combined in one amazing person. Thank you for making our work a trly memorable one.
-Mike & Brenda
Chef Amber -
Dang girl - you can cook! We loved having your creations excite both our eyes and our taste buds. The love you add to every meal or snack is truly amazing and appreciated. The experience would not have been the same without your smiling face presenting another incredible delight.
-Mike & Brenda
S/V Island Kisses -
Beautiful vessel with all the comforts of a 5-star motel. It is incredible that a sail boat can be this comfortable and capable. Thank you to the crew for maintaining her so well.
What a treat it was to be your guest this week! We loved all of your itinerary suggestions and all the extra touches that ensured the most wonderful holiday week aboard the yacht! We felt like royalty on the prettiest boat (also prettiest crew) with the most skilled captain in the BVI. Thank you for taking all the craziness that comes with our family with grace, warmth & humor. 10/10 above and beyond!!
Amber Rose -
There are no words to describe how amazing our week has been. From our first incredible lobster pasta to the last Christmas brunch. Everything was incredible. Who else would make a daily specialty cocktail, daily "happy muchies" along with honoring every single request made by my crazy family. Thanks even more for being a fun mate, a friend to my girls, and a lovely addition to our squad. If I could sail with you again, my response would be IMMEDIATELY YES!!
Love Ann-Marie
