Meet the team

Captain

William Dovey

Will’s passion for sailing took hold at a young age when he first learned the skills in his harbourside hometown of Guernsey in the UK. Years later he hopped onboard the 30m racing sloop Leopard 3 as a deckhand and kicked off his yachting career.

Next, he racked up some serious nautical miles cruising New Zealand, the Pacific, the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. His role as second mate onboard Baltic’s cutting-edge ketch Hetarios took him to far-flung corners of the globe including the Southern Ocean around Cape Horn, and into the Arctic. Shoreside, you can find Will high on a mountain either skiing, climbing, or mountaineering. During an expedition to the Indian Himalayas he climbed to an impressive altitude of almost 7000m.

Since then she’s volunteered with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and the Sea Cadets UK, completed a Foundational Degree in Operational Yacht Science, became qualified as a Yachtmaster Offshore, and earned her yachting stripes with 2 years and 4 Atlantic crossings as a deckhand on the mighty 62m schooner, SY Athos.

OYSTER 885 KARIBU

Available destinations

location	Leeward Islands (Antigua, St Martins, St Barts)

This chain of islands sits at the meeting point where the north-eastern Caribbean Sea meets the western Atlantic. Created by volcanic activity at the end of the last Ice Age, the arc of islands stretches southwest, offering an eclectic mix of untouched desert islands with some of the most luxurious holiday destinations in the region.

location	Windward Islands (St Vincent and Grenadines)

Named for its Trade winds and ocean currents, the Windwards were the destination of choice for pirates. It is the ideal cruising ground for chilled charters. With calm seas and consistent winds (10-25 knots) cruising is effortless, with line-of-sight passages that make island hopping a joy.

location	Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands are a popular charter destination for people enjoying their first charter and for families. The 50 islands have become one of the most popular sailing grounds, with steady Trade winds, gentle currents and lots of idyllic, sheltered anchorages.

location	Amalfi Coast and Sicily
dates	June - September 2022

The Amalfi Coast is famed for its stunning natural beauty, sweeping vistas and sophisticated day and nightlife. In contrast, the island of Sicily is steeped in history, with rugged terrain and coastline, peppered with beautiful beaches.

location	Corsica and Sardinia
dates	June - September 2022

Separated by the narrow Strait of Bonifacio, Corsica and Sardinia sit off the Italian and French coasts. Despite being so close, these islands display a character of their own – one Italian-inspired, the other, French. Both have tranquil bays on rugged coastlines, with beautiful beaches to relax on.
