***BOAT SHOW AWARDS***
Chef Maya Walsh
VIPCA YACHT SHOW 2022
1st Place Best Cocktail & Award for Best Designer Water
Captain Doyle Van Horn
Doyle was born in the heart of Arizona, where he grew up with a ranching background, spending his childhood exploring the woods and rivers of northern Arizona. After high school, he set off on a journey across the U.S., working various construction jobs and other odd gigs. One of these jobs took him to Valdez, Alaska, where he discovered the local marina. Seeing the boats lined up at the docks, he instantly fell in love with the idea of working at sea.
That moment changed everything. Determined to follow his newfound passion, Doyle set his sights on the Virgin Islands. At just 19, he moved to St. Thomas, eager to start his life on the water. Though he started as the "annoying kid" at the dock, constantly asking for work, someone finally gave him a chance. Over the next few years, he worked as crew on a 65-foot sailing catamaran, accumulating sea time and mastering the skills needed to excel on deck. His dedication eventually led to earning his 100-ton master’s license.
In 2003, Doyle was promoted to captain, officially launching his dream career of sailing through the Caribbean. Over the years, he had opportunities to captain various boats, from 100-foot motor yachts to 50-foot day sail cats. His experience took him from running boats for major hotels like The Ritz Carlton to private term charters. His adventures carried him not only through the Virgin Islands but also to Hawaii, the Great Lakes, and down the Eastern Seaboard.
In 2015, he built a boat and launched a small, high-end private day charter business throughout the Virgin Islands. However, in August 2017, hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the region, forcing Doyle to return to the mainland. Back in Arizona, he embraced his roots, working as a cowboy for various ranches, sleeping under the stars, and raising cattle. Although he enjoyed the cowboy lifestyle, he always knew his heart belonged to the sea.
In 2021, Doyle sold his horses and moved to St. Augustine, Florida, ready to reignite his seafaring passion. With a renewed sense of purpose, he returned to the islands to pick up where he left off. Now, Captain Doyle is excited to share the secrets he's discovered over two decades of exploration. Whether he’s showing guests the wonders beneath the surface, harnessing the wind to sail between islands, or playing a few tunes on deck during cocktail hour, Doyle ensures that your adventure is tailored to your desires.
Captain Doyle and Chef Maya warmly welcome you aboard Reverie, where you’re sure to experience the trip of a lifetime!
Chef Maya Walsh
Maya spent most of her childhood in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., but also lived between her parents' home countries of Japan and Canada. A lifelong lover of water, she enjoyed body surfing on the beaches of California and sailing and canoeing on the lakes of Ontario. After graduating from the University of Toronto, where she studied Japanese, Spanish, and biology, Maya realized she wanted to pursue a deeper involvement in the culinary world. Her food journey began with six months of WWOOF-ing in Spain and Portugal, followed by a move to Baltimore, where she immersed herself in the vibrant organic urban farming scene. During this time, she worked at an award-winning French bistro, bartended at a natural wine and sake bar, and roasted and served coffee.
In 2020, Maya lived in Japan, where she interned at a Michelin two-star restaurant and worked in a traditional noodle shop. She is a graduate of the Ballymaloe Cookery School, located on an organic farm in Cork, Ireland, as well as the Ashburton Yacht Chef Academy. Having traveled to over 30 countries, her culinary expertise is broad and eclectic. Her passion for food goes beyond cooking; she is committed to sourcing high-quality, seasonal, and local ingredients, fostering strong relationships with producers. Maya particularly enjoys foraging, fermenting, and pickling.
During recent off-seasons, Maya deepened her knowledge of ancient wine culture in the Republic of Georgia and worked the harvest at a low-intervention winery in Slovenia. She spent time in Honduras earning her PADI Rescue Diver certification and has since advanced her training to achieve the PADI Dive Master qualification. Maya’s relentless pursuit of gastronomic knowledge, combined with her ability to cater to guests' dietary restrictions, preferences, and culinary aspirations, ensures a unique and memorable dining experience.
Deck Stew Tacaro Bester
Tacaro Bester grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, where her youthful passions were split between riding horses and motorbikes. She competed in showjumping for 10 years while nurturing her equestrian talents. After high school, Tacaro initially studied BSc Mathematical Statistics but realized she wanted something more adventurous in her life. This led her to volunteer with turtles in Madagascar for 3 weeks, an experience that sparked her desire to pursue a career involving the ocean.
With a newfound clarity of purpose, Tacaro moved to the south coast of Durban, South Africa and started a diving internship. She went on to become a certified dive instructor, spending three years working at a renowned dive spot known for its shark diving experiences. Tacaro also worked in Mozambique before embarking on a period of global travels and maritime training.
In 2022, she completed yacht courses, opening up new opportunities including working on a dive boat in Greece for three months. After Greece, she traveled to South Korea and the Philippines to further pursue her passion for diving as an instructor.
Tacaro then set her sights on breaking into the yachting industry. In late 2023, she attended a 10-day yacht bootcamp in the Dominican Republic to prepare. She subsequently traveled to Fort Lauderdale, rapidly building her experience through multiple day-work yachting jobs before landing a temporary position on the 40m sailing yacht Kaori - her first yachting role that brought her to the US Virgin Islands. After her stint on Kaori, Tacaro helped deliver a 50ft catamaran from the Bahamas to the US Virgin Islands, standing watch throughout the day and night to gain valuable nautical miles. She then worked on various other boats in the Virgin Islands, gaining invaluable experience in the area.
It is in these Caribbean islands that Tacaro's future vision has come into focus. Her heart is now set on building a long-term career in the US Virgin Islands running charter catamarans as a Captain. With her diverse skillset as a deckhand, stewardess and dive instructor, Tacaro is equipped to turn her maritime dreams into reality. Wherever her adventures take her, she's sure to make a mean cocktail and greet guests with her bright, signature smile.

Thanks for an awesome adventure this week. What a treat to get to sail with you. We will never get over this trip. The service was unlike anything we have done.

Much love,
Carly, Lindsay, Collins, Matt, Jeffrey, Brett, Beth, and Alice
The yacht was very clean and they maintained it that way throughout.Their attention to detail was apparent but we were also able to live on the boat and enjoy all parts. we loved all aspects of the boat.
Food was amazing. We moved to half board and thought getting off the boat would be a good idea. We had some great meals and experiences off boat...Maya's food was the best!! She was very accommodating and listened to everyone!! It was personalized and perfect.
Jonathan
Where do we even start? From #Beryl/schedule changes to laughing so hard until we cried at Doyle during the name game, there isn’t a memory we won’t cherish for many years to come! The seas were rocky, but the times were good! Thank you for celebrating our 50th with us. You made the entire trip a fantastic trip with our favorite people.
I will never look at a sheet of paper, the same again. Thank you for opening up to us and sharing food, discussions, and loads of comedy! Thank you so much! I am not as gay as Brittan, but I am way more exciting! It’s not goodbye it’s see ya later! So grateful and thank you for answering all my questions, and inquiries!
The cookies! So good! The food and the steak and the rancheros and the ceviche and more good appetizers and cookies, so good! Can’t wait to sail again !
Heather, Jonathan, Dhani, Marsha, Britton and Will
Thank you for welcoming us into your home. You treat this boat with lots of care, love and respect and it shows!
We started this awesome vacation as strangers, and I feel we are leaving as friends! This has been an experience of a lifetime. I appreciate you learning all the little details of love makes each of us feel a little more special.
Maya… All I can say, is you are one HELL of a cook. Fabulous… each meal.
Discovering the different islands and learning about BVI was another highlight!
Doyle makes sure you see all of the best spots! Sorry for all the questions!! And for bringing Jack!
Enjoyed it all!!
Mark and Julie
I seriously don’t know where to start! I knew this trip would be amazing but you guys blew those expectations out of the water! All of my research did not even compare to this experience. You are both amazing at your jobs and amazing as beautiful people too. I only hope our paths cross again somewhere in the future. The beautiful places you took us, the amazing food, the peaceful and relaxing days that turned Into beautiful night. All the fun and laughter and we are so glad we all finally figured out each others humor!!! You work like a well oiled machine together and the eight of us will forever remember this trip and how you both made it even better! Remember, if you ever get to SoCal, we have lots of room for you to stay, and you won’t have to do a damn thing… Just relax like we did. Thank you for the best vacation I’ve ever been on! Keep in touch!
Sammi
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for one spectacular vacation. Giving 110% all day, every day as you both do is no easy task yet you both flow seamlessly together and make it appear a piece of cake!
Anticipating our needs is a knack you also both have. Doyle– I believe you may know Jack a tad better than I might. What a gift for seeing people and perhaps that is part of the reason this trip is so special.
Each and every spot we anchored, each and every meal we ate, just kept getting better and better. Maya, your talents know no bounds.
All the best wishes,
Lynne and Jack
Thank you both for an incredible trip filled with unforgettable memories. Both of you were a perfect team and made us feel so welcome the minute we stepped on the Nae Kae. This trip has far exceeded expectations and we will definitely come back for another excursion in the near future.
Doyle, your command of the boat was flawless and made us feel so comfortable and safe. Thank you for putting up with our little nuances and especially for the priceless drone flying lessons.
Maya, thank you for your exquisite culinary skills, for delighting our tastebuds, and for the many wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Your attention for detail did not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for you!
I hope both of you will consider visiting Costa Rica in your next travel endeavors.
Pura Vida,

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip! You made everything enjoyable for our celebration. The impressive meals and going over and above for Aaron‘s dietary needs.

Until then-
Brian
Wow! That doesn't begin to cover how this trip played out. From the moment we stepped on board you made us feel welcomed and comfortable.You have created a special space and truly brought us into your home. We Loved hearing your stories, getting to know you both, and experiencing the beauty of the BVI. The roses…Maya's food... appetizers on the bow, dinner up top (felt like celebrities), the snorkeling and other water fun, watching Doyle kite surf, getting a taste of both “touristy” at Willie T’s to experiencing the wild nature at the Bubbling Pools. I loved watching the sails unfurl, seeing the dolphins, eels and rays. The time spent with dear friends and making new ones in you both was priceless. Next time we will let Brian win the Euchre tournament.
A toast to you both with “mini-beers”
Casey and Brent :-)
P.S. Doyle - Iguanas do have brains! :)
Doyle & Maya - We are all so very grateful for the energy and heart that you poured into each ofus to make this such a memorable adventure. My rose and thorn intersected as it was truly amazing to have the trip go so fast and flawlessly with 10 people but flying by too fast for us... aspect of the journey felt relaxed, easy and therefore very enjoyable as we navigated the BVI islands and the fun each had to offer. It was a perfect combo of relaxation and doing! Obviously, we can't say enough about the food...every meal was incredible and Maya spoiled us and amazed us with her creativity in the kitchen. Seriously we’d buy the Maya-Nae Kae cookbook :)) And Doyle's stealthy dance around the boat was confidence inspiring and made us all feel safe and comfortable the entire time! We hope that Denver is on both of your travel schedules in the near future. We'd love to host you (although the food may not be as spectacular). Again, thank you both for welcoming us into your home, sharing your beautiful surroundings, navigating an unforgettable trip and rewarding us with your friendship!
Here's to more adventures to come!

Thank you so much for such a special experience, this has been the best trip of my life. It was so special to experience one of the most beautiful places in the whole world but getting to know both of you has been equally special. You are both truly such special souls, and what you create on this boat together can only be described as magic.

Much love,
Lucie
P.S. we’re so sunburnt our cats won’t recognize us
How can we ever express on paper the extraordinary, larger than life week of perfection we experienced on Nae Kae with you‽ You crafted each day to be special and centered around our hopes for the most spectacular week we could imagine. Your thoughtfulness each day, each meal, each activity was evident. As ours was a 60’s cruise, with four of us having a birthday party, one each evening, you were able to create a special event every night. We laughed, we danced, snorkeled, dined, and explored with such joy. Thank you both for welcoming us into your home and showing us the beauty of the USVI’s and the BVI’s. We can never forget these happy memories.
Love, the Arnold and Baker Family
Words can’t express how grateful we are for the most amazing week. If you bottled joy that best describes how I felt and the energy on board. Thank you for helping us create new lifelong memories, you are a part of our family now! You two are world class and make such an amazing team. My mom turned 60 this year so it was really special to make her feel loved and spend this time all together. Please come visit us in Alabama anytime. We’d love to have you for a proper football game.

We can't thank you enough for creating such a magical week for our group. We knew from the moment we stepped onto the beautifully decorated boat that we were in for a treat and you not only did not disappoint but went above and beyond to help make every minute of the trip extra special. The beautiful scenery was surpassed only by the gourmet meals and kind gestures you told to make us feel welcome and cared for - from delicious jello shots for our dance party to ensuring we didn't step on sea urchins to everything in between. Thank you for being so amazing - we will be back for sure! ❤️

Thank you for being the individuals that you are and for bringing all of your incredible skills and attributes to create an amazing week for our eclectic group. Your patience, kindness, thoughtful caring and wonderful sense of humor made this time very special. Creating and curating spaces in and around the boat for a choose your own adventure vacation to meet everybody's needs—both those they expected and those needs they didn't even know existed. You are an exceptional team, and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making that teamwork seem so natural and effortless.
What an incredible week of memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Love & hugs. Please look us up if you're in Maine.

Thank you for the most memorable 40th birthday a girl could ask for. Unequivocally, the trip of a lifetime. I don’t think there was ever a moment on our trip where we weren’t laughing or smiling.
The sensational food, incredible itinerary, and the access to everything on board really made the trip extra special. But most importantly, your warm and welcoming personalities. We felt like family immediately.
Thanks for the memories!
This has been about the most incredible week of my life!!! If I had a bucket list, this would have been on it for sure!! Spending a week with my children has been so satisfying to my heart! I am so enjoyed getting to know Maya and Doyle!! Such lovely, kind and caring people!!! The Lord bless you, and keep you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and give you peace.
Love,

Thank you for an amazing experience aboard the Nae Kae. You both made the experience unforgettable with all the little extras along with the amazing food and beach time. Necker island was an added bonus Dash completely surprising! A highlight I won’t forget! Blessings on both of you for all you do for those who come to the BVI’s.

Thank you both for creating an unforgettable experience for our family. So many memories made on our journey through the BVI. Your thoughtfulness, attention to details, amazing meals, and overall care for every person on this charter made it a trip will never forget,
Incredible experience,

Thank you so much for such a memorable trip for the six of us! We not only enjoyed every meal, game, swim and sunset… but the safety measures were bar none.
On a personal note, Maya, thank you for helping me when I got sick. Your kindness shines. Doyle, never ever stop playing your music. You’re blessed with such talent.
Please contact all six of us. If you were Everett in or near Sarasota, we’d love to host y’all.
Stay safe, stay full of love, and most of all stay grateful for all the many gifts you give to this world.
With love,
Valerie, Brian, Jerica, Shannon, Mathew and Jen
