Our take: Stella Mare
The detail worth knowing about Stella Mare is her captain. Ariel Thrasher was born and raised in the BVI — sailing camps and surf breaks as a kid, then years working local boats before earning his 200-ton ticket — so you're not getting an import who learned these islands last season. You're getting someone who grew up on this exact water and knows which anchorage stays calm when the wind clocks around, and where the good snorkeling is once the crowds find the obvious spots. On a brand-new 2025 Lagoon 55 — cork decking that stays cool underfoot, a covered flybridge with a wet bar, an espresso machine on the bow — that local knowledge is what turns a nice week into a great one.
A couple of practical notes. The galley leans toward fresh, balanced cooking rather than a week of heavy plates — a welcome change of pace if you'd rather not roll off the boat at the end of the trip — and the toy locker covers the bases with an e-foil, sea scooter, paddleboards, and the usual tow toys. Worth flagging, especially for our veteran guests: Stella Mare offers a military discount, so if you've served, ask and we'll get it applied. For a group of eight who want a current-generation catamaran and a captain who genuinely calls the BVI home, she's an easy one to recommend.

Julia Creigh - 2026-2027 Season
Ariel Thrasher - Born and raised in the British Virgin Islands, my connection to the ocean started early with sailing camps and surfing. In my teenage years, I had the unique opportunity to move to Thailand, where I completed my secondary education and gained a broader perspective on the world.
At 18, I returned home to the BVI and began my journey in the marine industry, taking on a variety of roles aboard local vessels and building hands-on experience along the way. Over time, I developed a strong foundation in seamanship, guest service, and yacht operations.
Now, as a captain, I take great pride in sharing the beauty of the BVI with guests guiding them through the islands and helping create unforgettable experiences on the water.

Matea Kosovic - through to end of July 2026
My culinary journey began in the heart of my home of Croatia, where cooking and sharing meals with loved ones sparked my passion for food. Inspired by my mum's recipes, I developed a creative flair by adding my own unique twist to her dishes.
This early love for cooking set the foundation for my career. As I matured, my interest in health and fitness deepened, prompting me to pursue a Bachelor of Nutrition Science degree. This academic journey expanded my understanding of the intricate relationship between nutrition and culinary arts, fueling my passion even further.
I am dedicated to crafting balanced, healthy, yet delicious meals that not only nourish the body but also delight the senses.
Julia Creigh - 2026-2027 season
Coming across the seas from the East Coast of Australia, Julia grew up baking alongside her mother and grandmother learning the home classics and passed down family recipes. After a challenging few years working as pediatric nurse during the global pandemic, she took the opportunity of the world opening back up to explore the world, tasting culinary delights in many parts of Asia and Europe. During these travels she found her passion in cooking and explored the idea of cooking on yachts full time. Now in her 4th season, Julia continues to create nutritious and delicious food in the galley.
Julia comes from a strong hospitality background working in several established venues in Sydney both behind the bar and front of house. She has completed a number of culinary courses with Le Cordon Bleu and the Australian Patisserie Academy and is so passionate about delivering delicious food and a unique hospitality experience.
Coming from a large family, bringing people together around a table to enjoy a meal and share stories is one of life’s greatest moments in her eyes and she cannot wait to welcome you onboard Stella Mare and share this experience with you all.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard Stella Mare!
