Terry has been messing around on boats since he was a child. Growing up on the east coast of Ireland, he started sailing dinghies and soon graduated onto larger boats. Even as a qualified electrician and optical technician, Terry yearned to turn his sailing hobby into a career. After his first trans-Atlantic crossing with friends, he did just that. A commercially endorsed MCA Yachtmaster (both sail and power), Terry previously served as both helm and launching authority for his local branch of Ireland´s volunteer lifeboat service.
With almost 40 years diving experience and a passion for underwater photography, Terry and Ruth are happy to accompany their snorkeling guests in viewing the underwater world from the surface.

Ruth also sailed the Irish east coast from a very young age. She was also a volunteer crew for the lifeboat service. Their combined lifeboat experience makes safety a priority for all on board. Before joining Terry in a sailing career Ruth was a teacher. She always enjoyed cooking however and widened her culinary expertise with courses at Ashburton Chef’s Academy in Devon, England and Dunbrody House Cookery School in Wexford, Ireland, The Ritz, Paris and Cooks Academy in Dublin. Ruth prepares a diverse range of meals, and particularly loves using local fresh produce whenever possible. She will happily accommodate any special dietary requests.
Ruth and Terry have been running boats, both charter and private, for 20 years. They have clocked up tens of thousands of sea miles. They crossed the Atlantic together 4 times. They have worked in the Bahamas, many of the Caribbean Islands, the Mediterranean and around the Irish and UK coasts. When they arrived in the British Virgin Islands more than 12 years ago, the realization that this is where they would make their home was almost immediate.

They are a warm welcoming couple that works as a team in all aspects of the running of the boat. It is important to them that each guest on board enjoys every moment of their stay. They especially love chartering with kids on board (and adults are welcome too!)

Crew are fully vaccinated for Covid 19.

Rhapsody II Guest Reviews

Comments from previous guests of Terry and Ruth

Hi [Broker],

Terry, Ruth, the Yacht, the entire trip was fabulous! We were able to enjoy all the amenities, (diving, waterskiing, banana boating, paddle boards), the food was fabulous, cocktails were flowing, and perfect weather. And yes, the only negative is the week went by too quickly.
My husband Vince even asked if they had limoncello and there was only one drink left so Ruth surprised us by contacting her off charter crew friends who arrived in their dinghy with a full bottle!
I would definitely recommend this crew without hesitation.
Thank you!
Cindy

9. Overall Satisfaction: The entire experience was amazing. Terry and Ruth were wonderful. You can really tell the difference between a seasoned crew and the younger crews we’ve experienced in the past. Terry was always whistling and cheerful, had endless patience teaching us all about Cat vs Mono sailing and the quirks of the yacht, answered a thousand questions and never once seemed put out by our endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Ruth’s meals were outstanding and she is a warm and cheerful presence on the boat. We loved the size of yacht for 8 of us-her spacious deck space, the big fly deck, the cabins…everything. The layout with the galley being down below made it seem as if meals magically appeared out of nowhere. That was a fun surprise as we hadn’t been on a Cat with that configuration before.

We would give this boat and crew our HIGHEST recommendation. This is now our 4th crewed charter in the VI’s and they the prize in every category. First class crew, first class cuisine, first class vessel.

___________________________________________________________________________________

My experience was by far better than I could have imagined. The boat fit all of us perfectly with enough room to find our own space, yet small enough for intimate meals. It was important to all of us to have our own bathrooms, so enough said about that.

Let´s talk crew -- Ruth & Terry... I do not know where to start as they were flawless, fun, communicative, smart, detailed+++! Every question we asked about the BVI´s or the ocean in general they could answer. To watch the dynamic duo in their element was a spectacular flow of energy whether it was anchoring, sailing, making beds, meal prep, dive prep, cooking spectacular meals, showing us brilliant dive/snorkel spots and following us around to pick up after us made our journey unforgettable. I highly recommend choosing this crew hands-down! Terry´s sense of humor (his April fools joke got us good!) suggesting to take slow-mo video from his dingy and his quick comebacks kept us laughing. Ruth´s MOST AMAZING meals EVER!!! Nuff said! We are a group of well-traveled individuals, with sophisticated palates and she blew our minds night after night. They are a solid team and so refreshing to watch them do their thing, whatever it was.

Thank you to all of you! You guys make travel dreams come true.

Fondly,
Arden G
