Crew information
Captain: Trevor Hope Crew: Natalia Walden Captain Trevor “Trev” Hope and Chef Natalia Walden bring together a shared love of sailing, the ocean, and relaxed Caribbean living. Trev’s full-time liveaboard experience, sailing instruction background, and deep knowledge of Caribbean anchorages pair naturally with Natalia’s coastal-inspired cuisine, entrepreneurial culinary background, and hands-on experience both in the galley and on the water. Together, they create a charter experience that feels easygoing, personal, and connected to life at sea. Whether guests are exploring quiet anchorages, snorkeling, heading ashore for local flavor, or gathering around the table for made-from-scratch meals inspired by the coast and Caribbean, Trev and Natalia are dedicated to sharing the special rhythm of the islands. Click each crew profile to learn more about their background, experience, and personal story. Captain: Trevor Hope Captain Trevor “Trev” Hope Captain Trevor “Trev” Hope grew up in California’s Bay Area with an early love for the ocean and a natural curiosity for travel. His sailing journey began in 2012 during a class at San Diego State University, which led to a position teaching sailing at Mission Bay Aquatic Center, where he spent four years helping others build confidence on the water. His sense of adventure later took him to Croatia and Greece for two consecutive summers as a Yacht Week skipper. It was there that Trev realized his dream was to live aboard his own boat and sail full time. That dream became reality in 2021, when Trev left his career as an electrician and set sail from the Bay Area with his partner and dog aboard their Morgan 43. Since then, they have lived aboard full time, and Trev has captained them more than 10,000 miles to the Caribbean, traveling through the Channel Islands, Sea of Cortez, Mexico, the Pacific Coast of Central America, and Colombia before transiting the Panama Canal in 2023. Trev holds a USCG Captain’s License and STCW safety qualifications. Since arriving in the Caribbean, he has become intimately familiar with the islands from Puerto Rico to Grenada and enjoys sharing his knowledge of local anchorages with guests. A relaxed sailor who prioritizes a safe, low-stress environment, Trev loves helping guests enjoy the Caribbean at an easy island pace. Whether swimming, snorkeling, hiking, exploring town, or finding a great local eatery, he looks forward to sharing the special vibe of the islands with every guest aboard. When he is not captaining, Trev enjoys cooking, walking the dog, music, movies, and working on the endless projects that come with life aboard his own boat. Chef/First Mate: Natalia Walden Chef Natalia Walden Chef Natalia Walden’s passion for cooking began in her Italian grandmother’s kitchen, where days were spent covered in flour, rolling gnocchi from scratch while homemade sauce simmered for hours in the background. Those family Sunday dinners became a lasting influence, shaping both her core values and her culinary path. Natalia went on to study Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University in North Miami. Her adventurous spirit and entrepreneurial drive later led her to create Gypsy Fish, a successful seafood festival business known for made-from-scratch recipes and a creative blend of coastal and Caribbean-inspired comfort dishes. Over the years, her cooking earned awards and media attention, further fueling her love for creating food that feels both memorable and deeply personal. Her connection to the ocean extends well beyond the galley. Natalia is a certified kiteboarding instructor and holds a USCG Captain’s License. She has navigated her own sailboat throughout Florida, including a solo crossing of the Okeechobee Waterway, and has completed numerous yacht deliveries along the East Coast and throughout the Caribbean. Natalia found the charter industry to be a natural fit, allowing her to combine her culinary roots, creativity, and love of life on the water. Having worked as a chef aboard a private vessel as well as in freelance charter roles, she sees every charter as an opportunity to bring people together through fresh, thoughtful meals and memorable experiences that celebrate the beauty of life at sea.
