Patric and Mary

Patric and Mary have been sailing together for nearly 10 years and in that time have delighted and charmed their guests in over 150 charters over 55 000 miles with a holiday of a life time.

Now aboard the paradise "Tranquility" they are continuing to do just that throughout the Caribbean.

Captain Patric GUYAZ / Swiss
Born in Switzerland Patric has travelled extensively following his love of sailing and diving.
As RYA Yacht Master he has sailed in many of our seas. In Europe, the Caribbean and also Australia where he was able to fulfill his love of off shore racing.
As a Dive Instructor Patric has taught and dived in some of the best locations in the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, the Red Sea, Maldives and also South Africa where he met Mary up by the Mozambique boarder.
In the BVI he spent 3 years teaching Sailing and Diving to youngsters within a summer camp program before moving on to Crewed Yacht Charters with Mary 10 years ago.
A great sense of humor, coupled with a professional and open and relaxed manner will make you feel special, safe and at home the moment you, your family and friends step aboard Tranquility.
There is no request to big "except the one regarding the elephant" and no cocktail too bizarre that Patric cannot cater to.

Chef Hostess Mary HADDOW / British
Mary was born in the UK and worked in the film business before giving up the camera for a cooker.
Having had the opportunity to travel the world, from Europe to Australia, Africa to India and the USA to the Caribbean she has had the chance to sample many of the world's cuisines.
She takes great delight in sharing these flavors with you. Quality of produce remains the mainstay of her cooking and she will tailor any menus to suit you and your family's requirements.
Also a qualified Dive Master she is happy to paddle about with you in the water, lunches permitting.
Flexible with a lively sense of humour and a kind heart, her aim is to make your stay as seamless and comfortable as possible.

Stewardess Dianne Mottitt
Born in Northern Ireland, Diane has spent the last 30 years living in many interesting places. Arriving in BVI for a week in 2015, she fell in love with the place and decided to stay a wee while longer, and has been working in the industry since.
Growing up on a farm, she has a strong work ethic, and always ready to help you any way she can. With her ‘heavy handed’ pours, she'll fix you a drink any time of the day.
When not on the boat, she can be found lambing sheep in Canada, Scotland, England or France and summers driving tractors, all for fun. Diane looks forward to welcoming you on board and getting to know how you like your coffee.
She enjoys travelling, hiking, horse riding and yoga and really enjoys learning about other cultures & great food. Ask her about driving the tractor!

Mate Jack Buckler
Hailing from the cold North of England, Jack is the First Mate/Dive Instructor onboard SY Tranquillity. Growing up Jack spent most of his free time playing sport, he played competitive rugby and enjoyed hiking and skateboarding too. He has since spent the last decade travelling around the world working both above the water on boats and below the water as a scuba diver. He has a passion for all things water related, along with the diving he is a keen surfer and wakeboarder - he is always eager to introduce others to the aquatic world! He's prior work has taken him from the desert shores of the Middle East to the icy waters of the Arctic Circle and has now been settled in the beautiful Caribbean islands for five years. During he's time off you can find him cycling or backpacking around some far-flung countries exploring different cultures and landscapes.
