Daniel Davies  |  Charter Broker
Â
Daniel discovered his love for sailing at a young age, dinghy sailing in the Greek islands with his family and friends. He progressed to monohull yachts and eventually onto motor yachts and catamarans. At the age of eighteen, Daniel decided to defer his Business School place at Portsmouth University for one year, so that he could train for his commercial Yachtmaster certificate with the UK Sailing Academy in Cowes. This involved almost six months of winter sailing in the English Channel, experiencing much hardship and every conceivable type of bad weather, including ice on the deck!
Warm weather eventually followed with six months of skippering a fleet of up to 15 yachts from Dubrovnik along the coast of Croatia, working on custom itineraries according to the prevailing weather conditions and leading his crew and his flotilla as far as Hvar. Customer feedback was always extremely positive and complimentary.Â
Daniel's family are keen sailors and together they have literally travelled around the world on sailing holidays - cruising the Mediterranean destinations in the summer and in the winter, his favourite, the BVI and surrounding Caribbean waters. As a genuine foodie, he brings a wealth of experience and passion into client itineraries, on and off the water with valuable insights into activities for kids and the best restaurants! Ask Daniel anything food, destination or boat related - he loves to help out in planning the most memorable vacations for you and your family and friends! Daniel recently attended the Miami Yacht Show, EMMYS in Greece and the International Charter Expo 23' in Zagreb, meeting friendly faces in the industry while working to establish new connections across multiple Mediterranean destinations. Â

Jackie Morrison |  Charter Broker
Â
Jackie began her love for sailing at the age of 7 at her tiny local yacht club in Rhode Island. She quickly developed a passion for racing and moved from Optis to larger dinghies that she then went on to race in both high school and college. Jackie sailed on her collegiate team at both Eckerd College and the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg. Following college, she began competing in larger dinghy classes internationally such as lightnings, j22s, and snipes, and remains active in the classes today.
Due to the very fortunate circumstances of her cousins living in the Bahamas, Jackie grew up visiting the Southern Abacos with her family every year. From fishing to lobstering, to endless island hopping, who can blame her for falling in love with this fabulous tropical oasis?
When COVID hit during college, Jackie took a year off of school and spontaneously landed a job crewing on luxury catamarans out of St. Thomas and St. John in the USVI. It was then that her love for sailing, the charter world, and the Caribbean became utterly undeniable!
Following college, Jackie went on to work in charter sales for a leading Fleet Manager in Florida, booking and organizing bareboat excursions for clients in the North Americas and the Caribbean. She then returned to St. Thomas this past spring and sold charters and a variety of island excursions.
Having just recently moved back from her second stint in St. Thomas, Jackie can provide incredible insight into the many unforgettable wonders that the Caribbean islands have to offer. She regularly attends the USVI and BVI Yacht Charter Shows to ensure that our clients have the most up-to-date, first-hand insights into both their catamarans and their respective crews. Additionally, she attends the Greece and Croatia shows to keep up to date with the best crews and boats in the business. She is thrilled to assist in the creation of your next tropical escape!Â

Rachel Maddock | Charter Assistant
Rachel discovered a deep love for the water and sail early on in her gap year, setting off to maintain tall ships in dry dock and later going on an array of adventures on the three-masted ship all around Europe. She was grateful that the Bay of Biscay was kind to her when she was crossing that! She always seeks out to catch a sighting of the latest ship in town when in a coastal destination. She has attended ship festivals in Europe, where crews gather from all over the world. She later went on to gain her RYA competent crew in Devon and did her Youth Leadership at Sea award whilst on her gap year. She is a self-confessed yacht spotter, wherever she finds herself in the world!

Looking for a new adventure she relocated back to Europe to teach English to children in Madrid. Unable to settle and shake off the travel bug, she then found herself backpacking her way around India and South East Asia.Â
Kim spent seven years of her career in England specializing in expeditions to the Polar regions. She managed operations on the ground and tailor-made charter experiences throughout the Arctic and Antarctica. Her love for boats and wildlife soon introduced her to the Galapagos Islands which is where she has resided for the past three years. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, and free diving.

Isabella Pisciotta | Marketing Executive
Â
Isabella grew up with a deep love for the water. She spent her summers island hopping on paddle boards, swimming along sandbars, and wake surfing with her family. This adventurous spirit developed further when she began cruising everywhere from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean. She also recently obtained her scuba diving certification. With many cities still on the bucket list, she hopes to explore the world one coral reef at a time.
While Isabella believes the world has an abundance of unique experiences to offer, she will always find her way back to Italy, where her father’s family is from. After a summer spent exploring the terrain, she learned that Italy offers undeniably beautiful landscapes, an unmatched culinary experience, and historical roots that run deeper than the oldest oak.
Following the completion of her English degree, Isabella spent the summer traveling Northern and Eastern Europe, eventually landing in St. Petersburg, FL with Boatbookings. Having attended the BVI yacht show, she is equipped with travel tips and insights into the most exclusive locations on the islands. With a passion for storytelling, Isabella hopes to show others just how big and beautiful the world is through her writing. Her cruising experience has made her knowledgeable in all things luxury, from delectable dishes masterfully created by award-winning chefs to the perfect guided itinerary through the best parts of history.

Isis Lelaure | Marketing ExecutiveÂ
Â
Isis is our French Riviera expert; with a passion for traveling, she has been out and about all over the world, but her favourite holidays remain the ones on private charter yachts with her family.Â
When she isn't shopping in the French Riviera, you can find Isis skiing in the Alps or making the most of her PADI certification. Her favourite dive sites are in the Maldives, Indonesia, and Thailand. French Polynesia is next on the hitlist! She grew up spending her summers on the small island of Aegina, Greece, which she likes to call her home away from home, and where she cannot get enough of the food!
Isis wants everyone to see the beauty that comes with traveling, learning about new places and their history, and hopes to convey that through her words. She has always loved writing and is excited to help others discover her favourite global destinations, like the Amalfi Coast (one of her number one shopping spots). She will be doing a BA at NYU next year, which will enhance her skills to further support Boatbookings in their tourism endeavors.Â
