Co-owners Jared and Daisy have always had a dream of owning and operating their own sailing yacht. In 2019 they jointly purchased the Anne Bonny and have just spent the last year restoring her to the splendor she now offers to the discerning tourist.
Daisy was born in the UK where she spent her early childhood and youth sailing dinghies and keelboats on the rivers near her home town. In her early twenties on a family sailing holiday in Greece she made the snap decision to ask for a job. Ten years later she was still working on boats having travelled the world on yachts and motorboats of all shapes and sizes. Eventually at some point all sailors wind up in the BVI. When this happened to Daisy she fell in love with the small town easy going vibe of the Islands, and decided it would be a great place to stay…
Born in the town of Durban, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, Jared spent much of his youth living the coastal life. Initially qualified in pattern making and construction skills, he changed his career in 2015 to follow his passion for the sea and a career in the marine industry.
After a year of intensive training Jared achieved his PADI dive instructor at Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Following this he scored his first job in the BVI working at a commercial dive shop in Tortola, learning everything about the island waters, above and below the sea.
In 2018 Jared gained his RYA Yacht Master certificate after six months delivering yachts across the Caribbean chain and training at Ondeck sailing School, Antigua. Now a professional in his field he took on the role of full time Captain in his first gig running a dive catamaran. It was at this time he and Daisy dreamt up the idea of owning and running a daysail Pirate ship named The Anne Bonny.
In January 2022 Natalie joined the crew. Formally bar manager at one of the most iconic restaurants in Tortola Natalie has hung up her apron and polishing cloth to become First Mate on the Anne Bonny. Amongst her numerous skills are master painkiller mixer, fabulous host and Anne Bonny The Pirate lookalike.
