Captain Mark Robinson:
Captain Mark Robinson traces his seafaring roots to Ireland where his great grandfather crewed aboard the sailing yacht Myra in Strangford Lough during the late 1800s. He began his own maritime career sailing the world aboard ocean liners, freighters and research vessels in the U.S. Merchant Marine. Having seen the Caribbean from the decks of large ships, he returned to the Virgin Islands as a deckhand aboard the Brigantine Romance.
For nine years he and three partners built a 57 ketch, aptly named Perseverance. He and his wife sailed and chartered her extensively throughout the Caribbean. Eventually they were based in Tortola, British Virgin Islands where they operated charter yachts for Endless Summer Charters. In 1987, they moved back to Massachusetts to raise a family. After 20 years of operating private yachts in New England, Florida, the Bahamas and the West Indies, Captain Mark returns to chartering in the Virgin Islands.
An avid SCUBA and free diver Captain Mark holds a USCG 500 ton masters license, and complete STCW certificates, along with CPR and First Aid training. He brings a lifetime of experience and enthusiasm to Island Voyager. He is professional yet easy going, with an excellent reputation in the yachting industry. An engaging raconteur, he is able to establish a rapport with guests of all ages. He has extensive knowledge of the Virgin Islands and enjoys creating a custom vacation for all his guests. A charter aboard Island Voyager with Captain Mark is a truly enjoyable and memorable holiday.
