Julianna Rodriguez (Captain):

A local since birth to Puerto Rico, Julianna has an innate passion for sailing and sharing the beauty of the Caribbean with others. She also holds her 100 Captain's license and has over a decade of experience working on luxury charter vessels. With a First Mate that is also a qualified Captain, boat handing is seamless and opportunities for water sports are unlimited!

Julianna spends as much time enjoying activity and entertaining above the water as she does underwater. As a PADI rescue diver with a Bachelor's degree in Coastal Marine Biology, she connects guests to the natural wonders beneath the surface. Guests can simply be "wowed" with the visuals of dive experiences or take home some nuggets of knowledge if they are keen to learn more.

Always eager to make her own travels across the globe during her time off, there is still such a strong connection between Julianna and her love for the waters she grew up around. When she's not sailing for work, she absolutely loves sailing for pleasure-- a true sailor at heart!

Chef Ursula Schultz (Chef):

Schultz's love for food started during her childhood on her family's farm in rural Quebec. Her parents taught her the art of farm-to-table cooking, and she learned valuable culinary skills like cheese-making, butter-churning, and gardening. These early experiences laid the foundation for her culinary journey.

Driven by her passion to further her culinary knowledge and skills, Schultz decided to pursue formal education at Le Cordon Bleu in Ottawa, Canada. This educational experience opened doors for her to work as a private yacht chef in the Caribbean, where she catered to discerning clients and celebrities with sophisticated palates. Alongside her yacht chef career, Schultz also successfully manages her own catering business in Canada, which continues to thrive as she travels the world.

In addition to her culinary expertise, Schultz is also an accomplished violinist, recognized internationally for her exceptional talent. She has had the privilege of sharing the stage with renowned artists such as Pink, Usher and Weekend. Schultz has also performed for esteemed individuals including the Royal Family, Canadian Prime Ministers, and Richard Branson, among others. For an unforgettable experience, she offers charters with the option to include a mesmerizing musical performance. In my role as Deck/Stew on the yacht, I’m the go-to person for making sure, every aspect of our guests’ experience is top-notch. Inside, I create a warm and inviting atmosphere, ensuring everything is spotless and guests feel pampered with personalized service. Whether it’s setting up a beautiful table for dinner, managing laundry, or attending to special requests, I’m all about the details that make the difference. On the exterior, I handle everything from keeping the deck immaculate to assisting with docking, anchoring, and setting up water sports gear. I love the variety of tasks and the challenge of balancing my dual responsibilities, all while being part of an incredible team that keeps the yacht running smoothly.
