Captain
Inspired by his father, Finn’s passion for boats and the ocean began at an early age. He grew up sailing on the West Coast of Scotland and earned his Yachtmaster Offshore qualification by age 18, which launched his maritime career.
He spent a number of years in the Mediterranean, working on superyachts and skippering charters around Greece and Turkey, and enjoyed creating bespoke sailing adventures for guests.

Finn left the industry only to pursue his University Degree in Technology, which allowed him to broaden his technical skills and travel to South Africa and Canada. He soon returned to the marine industry and captained a charter catamaran in the Virgin Islands, building a strong reputation.

Finn is dedicated to delivering exceptional guest experiences, prioritizing safety, personalized service, and building lasting relationships with guests. His adaptability and commitment to exceeding expectations create a welcoming and memorable environment for all onboard.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, Cara spent her early years traveling through Europe in a van with her parents and always loved the idea of living on the road. After pursuing an arts degree, she left Scotland to explore the globe. She moved to Australia and got her first job in a kitchen. There was no turning back and she began her journey cooking across the world.

In 2017, Cara received her SCUBA instruction certification in Honduras and began her yachting career. Sailing became her full-time life. She traveled across 60 countries and sailed in some of the most remote corners of the earth, including Tahiti and Fiji. The British Virgin Islands has always had her heart.


First Officer/Mate
David hails from the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa, where his love for travel and the ocean was nurtured from a young age. Growing up in various parts of his home country, he quickly discovered that each new place had its own distinctive charm, culture, and people. No matter where life took him, David always found his way back to the shores of Cape Town, where he spent countless hours snorkeling, swimming, and soaking in the beauty of the South African coastline.- Read less
At just 14 years old, David embarked on his first overseas adventure to Mauritius, a trip that ignited his passion for water sports and island life. He spent a few weeks water-skiing, wakeboarding, learning about marine wildlife, and exploring the world of powerboats. This experience deepened his desire to explore the world further. A few years later, after working as a cocktail bartender, David moved to the UK to refine his craft, landing a job at one of London’s oldest pubs where he was mentored by some of the best in the business. His love for classic cocktails grew, and he never missed an opportunity to experiment with new and exciting creations.

In 2019, David made a life-changing decision. He sold his car, packed up his belongings, and set sail. He began his commercial sailing career in Croatia and Greece with a flotilla company, gaining invaluable experience on the water, learning from seasoned captains, and interacting with guests from all over the world. In 2022, David’s journey took him to the British Virgin Islands, where he worked as a charter captain for three seasons, bringing his wealth of experience and passion for the sea to each and every guest he served.

A free-spirited and fun-loving adventurer, David is always ready to strike up a conversation and ensure that every guest enjoys a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience. Whether on land or at sea, his enthusiasm and warmth shine through, making him a beloved crew member and companion on every journey aboard SÓL.

Prior to this, Naomi had worked in the hospitality industry for 7 years. She has worked in fine dining restaurants and cocktail bars, as events staff, and as a wedding co-ordinator at a luxury beach wedding venue. She then decided that working in the yachting industry was a perfect mixture of the two things she loves the most, and joined some friends working in the industry in the Mediterranean, working as a chef and sole stewardess on sailing yachts in Croatia and Greece.

She has since gained her PADI Divemaster certification, and continued to work with her partner, David, as both a chef and a stewardess on yachts in Antigua and the British Virgin Islands.
