Paco Montaner (Captain):

Born and raised in the East coast of Puerto Rico, Captain Francisco, “Paco” as most know him, has been sailing the Caribbean waters from an early age. Since 2008, he has been the Captain of charter vessels in locations such as the USVI, BVI, Bahamas, Mexico, and even New England.

Paco wears many hats as his maritime experience has taken him from sewing canvas sails, rigging, and fiberglass construction, to working onboard commercial tugs and barges, and performing offshore crossings ever since his early 20’s. Sailing over 50,000 nautical miles over the years, he discovered one of his most fulfilling experiences as Captain onboard a 171’ Tall Ship Schooner charter vessel. Since then, Paco has followed this career path further, seeking more intimate capacities where charters can be personalized to each group.

As a graduate from the University of South Florida and alway avid to learn more, he continually upgrades his maritime skills in attending the Maritime Professional Training Institute of Florida. His extreme interest in the wonderful world of sailing is reflected in his chartering service as Paco thrives off of sharing these experiences with guests who likewise dream of cruising in the Caribbean.

Julianna Rodriguez (Stewardess/ First Mate):

A local since birth to Puerto Rico, Julianna has an innate passion for sailing and sharing the beauty of the Caribbean with others. She also holds her 100 Captain's license and has over a decade of experience working on luxury charter vessels. With a First Mate that is also a qualified Captain, boat handing is seamless and opportunities for water sports are unlimited!

Julianna spends as much time enjoying activity and entertaining above the water as she does underwater. As a PADI rescue diver with a Bachelor's degree in Coastal Marine Biology, she connects guests to the natural wonders beneath the surface. Guests can simply be "wowed" with the visuals of dive experiences or take home some nuggets of knowledge if they are keen to learn more.

Always eager to make her own travels across the globe during her time off, there is still such a strong connection between Julianna and her love for the waters she grew up around. When she's not sailing for work, she absolutely loves sailing for pleasure-- a true sailor at heart!
