Chef / First MateZara Browne


<b>Captain Tim Shiaris</b>
Growing up in the Chesapeake Bay area, Tim has been privileged to spend most of his time on a variety of boats, both motor and sailing. Tim is a fan of traveling and exploring the world around him in search of local adventures. Tim’s appetite for adventure and people has brought him to the Virgin Islands. His experience on racing yachts, enhanced his passion for crewing and sailing and encouraged him to pursue advanced certifications to expand his capabilities. In addition to sailing, Tim has other interests including snowboarding and restoring old houses. He is also known for taking home awards from BBQ competitions! He lives by the motto “It’s all about the experience” and looks forward to sharing and guiding guests to experience the beauty and adventure of the islands. His calm demeanor, attention to safety, and dedication to his guests’ time in the islands will ensure the best experience for everyone aboard.




<b>Chef Zara Browne</b>
Zara was born in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Long Island at a young age where she found her love of the water. She spent her weekends sailing with her Dad and exploring the North Fork of Long Island. When she wasn’t enjoying the outdoors she spent her down time at her family’s restaurant in Hoboken, NJ where her love of fresh quality food began.

Her professional background has always been in the restaurant industry and hospitality. She has over 15 years of bartending experience and another 5 years in luxury concierge services working closely with high profile NYC restaurants, planning extravagant events, and running private spas and gyms.

When Zara felt she wanted a change of pace she decided what better way to bring her love of hospitality and the water together than joining the yachting industry. She has been lucky enough to work under multiple yacht chefs where she has been able to add a new layer of knowledge to her personal culinary experience.

Zara has always had a passion for bringing a memorable experience to her guests and looks forward to helping form unforgettable memories through food, cocktails, and the ambiance of the islands.

April 2024 - Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Zara and Tim,

Thank you for everything! You have made both of our trips with you above and beyond our expectations! We feel like you’re a part of our Tennessee and Florida family!
Every experience from Willie T’s, to the bubbly pool, our favorite Anegada experiences were amazing! The food…OMG! The food, drinks, and fellowship was wonderful!
From what we thought would be a once in a lifetime trip is now an annual event. The two of you truly have a gift of making us all feel and experience the Bvi‘s in the most fun and beautiful way with all the fun packed in as well! We love and appreciate you so much!
PS thanks for introducing Casey to food!

Zara and Tim,
Than you for allowing us to be your first Ladies Only Boat! When you can keep eight ladies happy for five nights you are obviously special people. Every meal was better than the next time and we knew it was gonna be a fun time and we walked onto the boat to a bottle of Veuve! Not only did you never judge us but you always helped us take whatever idea we had (neon parties, Pirate night) to the next level. You made the birthday girl feel so special while also catering the trip of a lifetime for everyone on board. We will think of you every time we have hood rat ratchet hour! Let me ride that dinghy dinghy!!
Love you both, Erin

You both went above and beyond and exceeded all of her expectations. Besides being great hosts you were so much fun to hang out with and we’re always up for anything. From Willy T’s to the full moon party I loved every minute. I hope we can all do this again and have y’all as our crew!

You guys are the best! We knew this would be a great trip, but the two of you made it amazing. You took us to places we won’t forget, the food wasn’t fantastic, and we had so much and we had so much fun hanging out with you. We will always be thankful that you made our friends birthday trip unforgettable. And we know you won’t have dance parties like ours again. Good luck with the new boat and if you’re ever in North Carolina come see us!

Zara and Tim,
We cannot thank you enough for the amazing time! From the moment we stepped on board we felt completely at home. You both are so warm and gracious. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Our every want and need was anticipated.
We will never forget all the different sites, activities and excursions you planned for us. We would have a difficult time picking a favorite. Each day was better than the last and the meals were so delicious that many nights we chose to eat on board rather than venture out. When we did go dine on land your recommendations were just right!
We hope to see you back in the states- you are welcome at our home anytime!

March 2024 - Crew Review from Previous Yacht

How can we begin to thank you for the incredible week we’ve gotten to spend on your incredible boat?! We will cherish every memory. The fishing, the snorkeling, the hiking and all the laughs! You offered unparalleled hospitality and treated us like family.
Thank you for curating the best stops, incredible meals, perfect cocktails, fantastic conversation but most of all for putting up with the Thornton family chaos and shenanigans! We miss you already! If you ever need a Texas ranch fix we’re a call away!

January 2024 - Crew Review from Previous Yacht

Dear Tim and Zara,
Thank you for making my last break for a while so magical! Thank you for the rare opportunities (like water skiing and knee boarding) that even if we drove you crazy you still let us keep trying until we got it. The food was absolutely incredible along with the visual. You guys are so amazing and I will miss you both endlessly. Zara, thank you for letting me cook with you and showing me the behind the scenes in the kitchen. Tim, thank you for putting up with my stubbornness when I was attempting to waterski and then hyping me up when I went knee boarding. I would also like to thank you guys for teaching me how to sail, maneuver a boat as well as how to tie them off. I couldn’t ask for a better crew to spend my vacation with! I wish you the best and I hope to see you guys again some day!

January 2024 - Crew Review from Previous Yacht
