Your Captain

Meet Tyler, a seasoned yacht captain with more than two decades of experience creating unforgettable days on the water. During the summer, home is Newport, Rhode Island, the sailing capital of the world. When the season changes, you'll find him in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, or exploring the crystal-clear waters of the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas.

Possessing a lifelong passion for the ocean, Tyler is known not only for his seamanship but also for creating relaxed, memorable experiences for every guest who steps aboard. Whether it's a sunset cruise with family, a celebration with friends, or a luxury day on the water, his goal is always the same: to make every charter feel effortless, personal, and unforgettable.

Before pursuing a full-time career on the water, Tyler owned Cassarino's, a successful Italian restaurant in the heart of Federal Hill. Years in the hospitality industry taught him that exceptional service is about anticipating guests' needs, paying attention to the details, and making people feel welcome, qualities he now brings to every charter. Combining a passion for hospitality with a love of the sea, Tyler delivers an experience that's as enjoyable as the destination itself.
