MARIA THERESE Yacht Charter

Captain: George Vaughan

CAPTAIN George Vaughan
Meet George, whose lifelong love of sailing began in the most imaginative way—crafting makeshift sails from fishing rods and roller blinds as a child. He soon honed his skills racing dinghies, including Lasers, eventually earning a spot on the Olympic youth team.

At just 17, George’s thirst for adventure took him to the south of France, where he began his yachting career. From humble beginnings as a deckhand, he quickly rose through the ranks to become Chief Officer on a 40m superyacht.

Yet, despite his success, something was missing—the feeling of wind in canvas and the romance of traditional sailing. That longing led him to ‘Stormy Weather’, a beautifully restored 1934 classic sailboat, which reignited his true passion for the sea.

Still, George wanted more: to share that passion with others. This calling brought him to charter sailing across the Caribbean. With nearly four years of hands-on experience and a wealth of hidden anchorages and sailing stories, George now looks forward to creating unforgettable journeys—offering his guests something truly special, both on and off the water.
