Cliff's love for the ocean began at a young age; A certified SCUBA diver at 12 and Captain by 20, the call of the sea came early.
While studying marine science at the Texas Maritime Academy, he was eventually led to the Caribbean, where he found his passion: discovering the islands and all the beauty found within. Now, after over 20 years of exploring, photographing, diving and sailing throughout the tropics, Cliff has plenty to offer his guests.
A USCG licensed sailing captain, NAUI SCUBA Instructor, and ASA sailing instructor, Cliff will be on hand to help as much or as little as you like.
As 1st mate (Admiral), nature guide, and chef, Liza will be on hand to guide you through the natural wonders ashore and underwater, as well as towards the delicious delicacies from her galley.
Hailing from NYC and a career in Broadway musicals, Liza is thrilled to be currently performing on the high seas aboard Solstice!
A discerning food critic / writer in Manhattan, and accomplished chef, Liza's passion for food is evident in everything she cooks for you.
Some additional specialties include navigating through the treacherous currents of local island shopping, capturing the perfect photo, and beach bar-b-que's featuring burgers and s'mores.
Customer feedback:
In short, the trip was wonderful and much of it was due to Cliff and Liza. They were just a joy to sail with. We had done a similar trip some years ago and we thought that crew was great, but Cliff and Liza were just that much better. I'd recommend them to anyone. They are truly interesting and professional people.
As far as the boat itself is concerned, it was perfect. Everything worked well and it was clean, comfortable and very nicely appointed. We are already considering another trip next year.
