---- 2026/2027 SEASON CREW ----
Captain Solomon Wood and First Mate/Chef Cian Browne join KaYachtic after a successful season together aboard Island Standard Time, a BVI based Bali 4.8. Their wealth of knowledge of the cruising grounds, the yacht, hospitality experience makes them the perfect crew for your charter vacation.
— CAPTAIN SOLOMON - 2026/2027 SEASON —
Solomon first learned to sail in the rugged waters of Scotland, where the mix of wild seas and sweeping coastlines sparked a passion for sailing that has only grown stronger over the years. What began as a pastime soon developed into a lifelong passion for the sea.
With years of experience captaining yachts and guiding guests through some of the most beautiful sailing waters in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, Solomon takes great pride in creating unforgettable experiences to ensure every guest has the best week of their lives onboard.
Holding an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualification with both STCW and Commercial Endorsement, Solomon brings both professionalism and passion to every charter. Beyond the technical skills, what sets Solomon apart is a deep love for introducing people to sailing and sharing the joy of life at sea.
Whether it’s navigating turquoise bays, teaching guests how to sail, or simply creating moments of calm on deck, Solomon embodies both adventure and hospitality.
CERTIFICATES
— FIRST MATE CIAN - 2026/2027 SEASON —
Cian trained at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, graduating with first-class honours. The farm-to-fork ethos there gave him a deep respect for ingredients,
seasonality, and the power of simple food cooked with care. During his time, he also worked service at Ballymaloe House, plating five-course dinners for over 80 covers a night—an experience that sharpened both his technical skills and his ability to
thrive under pressure. He went on to do stages at Margaret’s and Quay in Sydney, both 2- and 3-hatted restaurants, where he gained invaluable insight into fine dining kitchens at the highest level.
Since then, Cian has cooked across a wide range of kitchens and settings. He has worked as a private chef, and spent a winter season in the French Alps, preparing multi-course meals for new groups of guests each week. That role taught him how
to adapt quickly, balance precision with warmth, and bring a restaurant-level standard to a homely setting.
Cian returns to the BVI for another Caribbean season working alongside Solomon. Life at sea demands flexibility, creativity, and the ability to design menus that suit diverse tastes and dietary needs—all in the tightest of kitchens. It is as much about creating an experience as it is about the food, which is exactly what he loves about this career.

I have never seen my family have so much fun. Both of you guys are amazing and the best yachting experience we have ever had. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts y’all are now family!

Crew review (Kayachtic 2024)
Truly grateful for the chance to have this amazing trip with our family. What an incredible week we had on the beautiful boat and all the great locations, the fabulous food & drinks, and the sun & fun with you two. Thank you for the memories!
Crew review (Kayachtic 2024)
Thank you for making our sailing trip amazing.
Taylor, you thrilled me with delicious vegetarian meals that exceeded anything I would do for myself.
Xander, you’re so kind to answer all my questions about the yacht and to go in the water to take pictures of the group. The two of you work effortlessly together and it's nice to see. Lastly, KaYachtic is a well-outfitted yacht and there was nothing we said “oh I wish it had this or that”. It was perfect.
Crew review (Kayachtic 2024)
What a wonderful excursion you have created for us!
Xander, your sailing itinerary brought us to so many exquisite island locations. We loved anchoring off Little Jost Van Dyke tucked into a little bay where we faced a tiny island with two cute palms standing side by side. Our starry night with sparkling boat lights while buoyed in North Sound, Virgin Gorda was magical! We loved sailing and returning to Anegada bringing back memories from 35 years ago. Among other special spots and sails you topped it off with a snorkeling destination at the Indians where we found ourselves surrounded by tropical fish of all hues and sizes.
Tay, your culinary talent and offerings were amazing! The presentation is a work of art! We could taste the love in each bite and meal. You outdid yourself with every breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Thank you for all the dietary accommodations. The jerk chicken and jollof rice followed by a gluten free chocolate birthday cake for Gary and me topped off the delectable culinary experience! Your kindness, care, joy, and flexibility made our sailing adventure on Kayachtic’s maiden voyage a dream come true!
Thank you so very much! Xoxo

The food was amazing. Taste, quantity, and quality was all taken well care of.
She made us feel at home. The food was amazing. Taste, quantity, quality was all taken well care of. She always had a smile on her face which made it even more special. Thank you Taylor!
Crew Reveiw
Thanks so much for an awesome week. We had so much fun getting to know each of you. You both made the experience one that we will never forget. The food and hospitality were above and beyond. Can't wait to come back! Thanks again!
Crew Reveiw
We challenged you to free us from quarantine and pandemic induced claustrophobic blues while also keeping us safe. You were wildly successful! Xander sailed us to beautiful hidden harbors and secluded beaches without requiring us to look at our watches or a calendar for that matter. Xander accommodated our desire to feel productive by accepting less than effective gestures of help in anchoring and mooring making us feel like contributors despite increasing his workload. Taylor's meals were inspired, delicious, and beautiful gourmet courses. When the local restaurants shut down mid week, new onboard menus were planned and delivered without missing a beat. Not only were you competent at adjusting to unplanned curveballs, you did so in a way that made it seem like the plan all along. By the end of the trip we were calling you "mom and dad" despite us being twice your age. You were the coolest "parents on the boat" since you fed us a never-ending stream of painkillers. We highly recommend you as perfect hosts for any group looking to dip their toes in the water and adolescence, secure that you'll keep them from drowning in either.
Crew Review
When I think of peaches I think of Taylor. Her energy and smile alone made the week that much more fun. Her food was Michelin 3 stars. She was always on point with everything, from getting our tables set up to helping us with jet skis. Taylor is an Aussie but moving to the US and I can't wait to reunite with her in October.
Crew Review
I LOVE TAYLOR. That’s my girl!!!! Food was fire, so so good always. Not only were the meals always different, but always fresh, always creative and so well thought out. We had so many different options, everyone always had enough. We kept saying she couldn’t top one meal, and then she’d top it with the next one. If we ate a lot at breakfast, she was flexible about lunch time. She was very attentive and was quick on her feet to making use of what was available. She was super friendly, talkative, energetic, bubbly, funny, and we loved hanging with her. Especially me I got to talk to her a lot and she was awesome. Up early, working hard, on task, cleaning up, not leaving any messes, washing dishes right after meals, and always so helpful to us on setting up/coordinating dinners and hanging with us. Really feel like I made a genuine friend with her too.
Crew Review
Xander's knowledge about the boat, the sea, each island and yacht week was stellar. He was exceptionally helpful in communicating updates, recommending things to do/dinner venues and booking said venues. He was really great at reading overall energy levels of the group and matching them. Also hyping us up when needed! He was accommodating and understanding - reminding us all that it was our trip and tailoring it to us.
Crew Review
Captain Xander was the absolute best!!! Always super helpful in suggesting plans, super calm and collected amidst a few boat issues we had, and always encouraging of a good time. Not to mention he found us some awesome swim spots and amazing places to eat. We all met as strangers and left as friends. We definitely know our experience would not have been nearly as amazing if it weren’t for him. We can’t wait to request him next time!!
Crew Review - Dec 2024
Xander and Taylor,
Thank you both for the most amazing week! Our best family vacation to date. The food was five stars - breakfast lunch and dinner. Especially loved happy hours 🙂 can’t wait to come back for another week of “snorkel, swim, chill!”
Crew Review - New Years Eve 2024
Xander and Taylor,
What an epic trip! Absolutely fabulous from the food to the adventures, we loved it all. You both destroyed trivia nightly and kept us all laughing. You are true professionals and we will forever treasure the memories you helped us to make as a family. Cheers and happy new years!
Crew Review - Feb 2025
Absolutely loved our Kayachtic experience. Best vacation ever - Taylors food was exceptional and every meal was better than most restaurants we’ve been to. Xander navigated us through an amazing week (while bartending!) for the whole family. Both Taylor and Xander made sure we had a lovely time and were especially wonderful to our 3 young kids! We were comfortable, happy and laughing the whole trip. Can’t wait to sail with them again!

Our Hearts are full leaving here today.
Crew Review - May 2025
Taylor and Xander, Thank you for an amazing week filled with beautiful memories, fabulous food, and fun adventures. The thoughtfulness, details, and planning were exceptional. You both were wonderful hosts & company! The memories we all shared as a family will be cherished for a lifetime! Hope to be back in the future for more Painkillers, "snacks," and adventures! P.S. Thank you for tolerating "Kenny" music all week!
Crew Review - May 2025
We had a great time as a family cruising the BVIs on Kayachtic. The yacht was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. There were multiple areas to sit and we were always able to find shade when we wanted it. The snorkeling equipment was in good condition and our Captain found some great snorkel areas.
The crew was very accommodating and flexible if we wanted to adjust our daily plans. The food was outstanding! Lots of variety, beautiful presentation. Taylor paid close attention to our preference sheets and we enjoyed every meal. Xander & Taylor were a great crew. They were courteous, helpful, knowledgable, and flexible. We would highly recommend sailing with Xander & Taylor to others.
Crew Review - June 2025
Taylor & Xander, This truly was the trip of a lifetime! We are so grateful for y’all and this opportunity! Every detail, every meal, every bay - it was all perfect! I had high expectations and yet y’all exceeded them! Thank you so much for this experience and for everything!!
Crew Review - December 2025
Thank you Taylor & Xander for a magical week! It is hard to imagine anything more perfect - the meals, the stops, the food, the drinks, the adventure! We all agree this trip will forever live large in our memories & our hearts. We so appreciated your patience, your encouragement, your friendship, & of course your resumes (always with a smile). We look forward to a future opportunity to sail with you again. We are sad to go home and we will miss waking up to the sunrise and delicious smell of breakfast. Please come visit us in San Diego! Good luck with the wedding!
Crew Review - December 2025
Taylor & Xander, Wow what do we even say that adequately thanks you for such an amazing week? From start to finish the food was excellent and the service was first rate. Best of luck in the coming year and what a great year you have ahead of you! This was a great trip and we don't know what lies ahead for us as our kids are in their early 20s. So there may no be many more family trips with all the kids with us, but this trip may get them to want to all get together in the BVIs again.
Crew Review - January 2026

Thank you for an amazing 6 night unforgettable bucket list trip! You are both so carefree and kind and professional. This was a milestone trip for our crew and I could not have imagined a more perfect crew duo. Taylor, the food was all so incredible - you are so talented, thank you! We have never been so well fed. Xander, your drinks and navigation were fire - Thanks for putting up with Ray this week and my one million questions and requests leading up to this trip! The itinerary and pace of the trip and days was perfect. I would recommend you all and this boat to anyone! Congratulations to you both and thanks again!

What a glorious way to spend Thanksgiving!! And with our loved ones, including Solomon & Cian, they are now family.
Captain Sol & Chef Cian far exceeded all expectations! Their willingness to take us to the most special waters off the beaten path truly made for everlasting memories. They are so kind and professional.
Cian's meals can be considered works of art. It is said 'first we feast with our eyes', and we did, every day, all day!! The BVI waters are so inviting, every stop was another opportunity to swim, play, relax. True luxury. Till we meet again (and we will), thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

The trip was absolutely outstanding. The boat and crew were truly top-notch, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. If you’re ever looking for two people to sail with, these are definitely the guys.
They were incredibly accommodating, and the food was unbelievably good. Each meal somehow topped the previous one, every single one was outstanding. It honestly exceeded all expectations. I can send photos if you’d like.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip! 100%, five-star service all the way around. Great fun, beautiful boat, wonderful crew, and an unforgettable experience.

Thank you so very much for an absolutely awesome week. We loved every moment on the boat. The food was so delicious and beautifully decorated. It is going to be hard to go back home to our boring meals.
You guys did such a fantastic job hosting us! Your kindness and caring was boundless! Thank you also for letting Ken be part of the sailing experience. I know he loved it and will be telling everyone at home how he helped sail the boat 🙂 You guys rock!!
We are so thankful that you were our crew and we sure hope to be back on one of your boats again one day soon. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

This was the best trip ever. We were treated like kings and queens and the food Cian prepared was absolutely superb. We appreciate all the planning that Sol did and hitting all of the highlights we had bookmarked before the trip. It was a first class trip all the way. Thanks so much!
