Captain: Bryan Mason Captain Bryan Mason After years of global exploration, Captain Bryan found his true home on the stunning waters of the Virgin Islands. His path to the helm was anything but ordinary, shaped by curiosity, adventure, and a desire to create meaningful experiences. Bryan’s travels first took him through Mexico and Chile, where he worked as a volunteer, and later to England and Spain, where he studied philosophy and law. He then spent more than a decade practicing as an attorney in Chicago before trading his suit for sea boots and heading north to work in commercial salmon fishing in Alaska. In 2016, Bryan relocated to St. Thomas, where his connection to the sea continued to grow. After Hurricanes Irma and Maria swept through the Caribbean, he received what he calls his “Category-5 nudge” to finally pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a captain. Since then, Bryan has built a successful career in the yachting industry, completing more than 1,000 charters and welcoming over 6,300 guests aboard. Known for his calm professionalism, thoughtful hospitality, and strong nautical knowledge, he has consistently earned five-star reviews and enthusiastic guest praise. With a deep love for the ocean, an adventurous spirit, and a commitment to exceptional service, Captain Bryan takes pride in helping guests experience the beauty of the Virgin Islands and create unforgettable memories on the water.
