Captain Stephen Powell
 

Captain Stephen brings decades of maritime experience and a deep understanding of luxury service to every charter. With over 60,000 nautical miles sailed, including multiple ocean crossings, Stephen combines exceptional seamanship with thoughtful itinerary planning and meticulous attention to detail.

 

Raised sailing in Newport Beach, California, Stephen’s connection to the sea began early. Over the years, he has built an impressive sailing résumé, including international regattas and extensive charter management experience. He holds a USCG 200-Ton Master license, Yachtmaster Ocean certification, and is a PADI Divemaster.

 

Before yachting full-time, Stephen spent many years in real estate development and luxury hospitality, including time with Four Seasons Hotels. This background shapes his calm leadership style, strong organisational skills, and intuitive understanding of guest expectations.

 

Guests appreciate Stephen’s relaxed confidence, local knowledge of the Caribbean, and ability to tailor each voyage — whether focused on adventure, culture, or pure relaxation — into a seamless and memorable journey.
