About Me

Saling BVI
Saling BVI

Hi, Olivia here! If your soul is fueled by sailing, snorkeling, and the rhythmic pull of the Caribbean, then let me introduce you to the British Virgin Islands. Having lived on Tortola and explored every hidden cove from the sandy flats of Anegada to the legendary Willy T, I’ve learned one thing, once you experience the BVI, it never stops calling you back. Whether you're docking at Saba Rock or anchored in the Bight, here, the best day is simply every day. 

The British Virgin Islands are often called Nature’s Best Kept Secret, but to me, they are the world’s most sophisticated playground. Having navigated the "Sailing Capital of the World" firsthand from the bustling docks of Tortola to the most secluded, unnamed cays...I don’t just book trips here; I craft immersive island-hopping legacies.

The BVI experience is defined by a freedom you won't find anywhere else in the Caribbean. I’ve spent my mornings waking up to the gentle trade winds aboard a luxury crewed catamaran, watching the sunrise over the Sir Francis Drake Channel with a coffee in hand. I’ve hiked the lush trails of Sage Mountain and hitched rides on local provision boats to reach the famous Willy T. These are the authentic, moments I now bring to my clients.

While there’s never truly a bad time to hoist a sail in the BVI, each season offers a different soul. April to June is our 'Sweet Spot' the crowds thin, the water warms, and the breeze is nothing short of perfect. December to March brings the 'Sporty Season.' If you love a spirited sail, you’ll want to be here for the Christmas Winds, those steady trade winds that make for an exhilarating ride between islands. November is my 'Secret Month.' It’s for the savvy traveler who wants to see the islands waking up, lush and green, just as the season begins. Staying on land? You aren't grounded! The ferry system is the heartbeat of the islands, making it easy to hop from Tortola to the white sands of Anegada or the bars of Jost Van Dyke.

When I plan your journey, I look beyond the standard itinerary. We might coordinate a private technical stop at The Baths in Virgin Gorda, ensuring you explore the towering granite grottos and hidden tidal pools before the crowds arrive. From there, you'll sail to North Sound, where I can recommend the perfect slip at the newly iconic Bitter End Yacht Club or a sunset table at Saba Rock to watch the tarpon feeding. For those seeking the quintessential BVI "vibe," I’ll guide you to the barefoot luxury of Jost Van Dyke. Whether it’s a celebratory "Painkiller" at the Soggy Dollar Bar or a world-class lobster dinner on the sands of Anegada, I ensure every stop feels like a discovery.

In the BVI, luxury isn't just about the thread count of your linens, it’s about the exclusivity of an empty bay and the seamless service of a crew that knows exactly where the sea turtles graze. Let’s leverage my boots-on-the-deck experience to turn these turquoise waters into your next unforgettable escape.

Best of Beaver Creek
Reviewed By Ski Time - Lakewood, CO | Traveled to Beaver Creek | Colorado | USA
I can't thank Olivia enough for organizing our trip to Beaver Creek. From the Vilar Performing Arts tickets to our dinner reservations at Beano’s Cabin, she knew exactly how to make our time off the mountain just as magical as our time on it. Her insider knowledge of the resort’s different villages made our stay feel intimate and exclusive. We will definitely be booking our next winter getaway through her!
