Tim Clark Head Captain
Crew Profile
Captain Tim ClarkCaptain Tim hails from the Midwest, where he grew up playing sports and sailing on Lake Michigan. His dreams of traveling and living a life at sea were realized when he joined the US Navy as a Rescue Swimmer. After being honorably discharged in 2001, receiving multiple awards and high honors, including the Enlisted Surface Warfare Award, Tim continued to travel and dive around the world. He visited Europe and the Middle East, earning his NAUI Dive Master certification along the way.
Tim's love for diving brought him to coastal Texas in 2007, where he became a commercial diver, making a good living working on support vessels and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. During a Caribbean vacation, Tim discovered his true calling as a boat captain.
In the summer of 2023, Tim embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, sailing a new 2023 Fontaine Pajot 67 Alegria across the Atlantic from La Rochelle, France, to St. Thomas, USVI. Along the way, he made stops in Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. This adventure, shared with his wife and chef, Siboney, was not without its challenges, but as Tim believes, "You cannot learn much in calm seas." He lives by the saying, “You cannot control the wind, but you can adjust your sails.”
Tim’s love for people and hosting complements his passion for boats and the ocean. Since securing his USCG 100-Ton Master’s Captain License, Tim and Siboney have hosted friends, family, clients, and celebrities aboard various luxury yachts in the Caribbean and beyond. Tim’s experience and Midwestern hospitality enable him to provide exceptional guest experiences, and his attention to detail is meticulous. He and his wife share the same passion for life, people, and the sea!
Chef/First Mate Siboney Trevino-Clark
Chef Siboney (pronounced "Sea-Bo-Ney") was born in Chicago but learned to walk in Texas. Her love of cuisine and nutrition stems from her Mexican and Spanish heritage, as well as her experience as a mother. Just as Siboney delighted in preparing healthy, colorful, and delicious meals for her growing family, she now brings her passion for hosting, entertaining, and creating special memories to her charter guests, using the freshest organic, locally farmed ingredients.
Siboney's love for all things culinary is equally matched by her love of the outdoors. She excels in activities ranging from hunting and fishing to paddleboarding, boating, horseback riding, and snorkeling. Siboney’s first introduction to the charter industry came through hosting friends, clients, celebrities, and family alongside her husband, Tim. She loved the lifestyle so much that she convinced Tim to sell everything and move to the Caribbean.
In the summer of 2023, Captain Tim and Siboney spent time in Paris, where Siboney took advantage of the city's rich culinary scene, including attending Culinary Arts courses at the world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu. She also spent time in Bordeaux and Champagne, visiting wineries and learning how the right wine pairing can enhance the taste of lamb, tenderloin, and fresh seafood.
Siboney volunteers for the Virgin Island Professional Charter Association, where she currently serves as President. She believes in giving back to the community and supporting local businesses. Siboney is also eco-conscious, ensuring that every product used during charters is earth-friendly, from sunscreen to body wash and paper products.
Siboney is dedicated to providing a menu that is not only satisfying but also healthy and appealing to the most discerning palate. She has created amazing menus for pescatarian and kosher guests alike. Both Siboney and Tim enjoy spending time with children, and storytime with Captain Tim on the flybridge is always a treat.
