Iate privado SILENT WINGS

Sally was born in Kiombi, Tanzania, and lived in Africa, the U.K. and Portugal as a child. Her father worked for the British Foreign Office of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in East Africa, advising on local needs. Sally says, “My first experience with boats was in dugout canoes, where hippos are the main risk in the water!” They returned to the U.K. when she turned six, but the connection to water played an important family role forever after.

Sally was educated in England. After achieving an Honors Degree in Economics from Kent At Canterbury University, she accepted a corporate position in London. Three years later, Sally and Steve’s daughter Charlotte was born, with a potentially fatal allergy to nuts. In an effort to remain with her, Sally completed a post-graduate Montessori Teaching qualification and opened her first of four Children’s Nursery/Preschools. Today, Sally’s charter guests benefit from her many years of research and dedication to well-being and special needs. Her expertise in diet and nutrition, and training in Reiki, massage, aromatherapy massage and yoga, allows her to offer guests a vacation of exquisite meals and blissful relaxation.

In addition to Sally’s coursework in nutrition, provisioning and cookery, she is an expert mariner. She has completed courses for RYA Day Skipper, RYA Coastal Skipper, Sea Survival and First Aid. She happily teaches guests to trim the sails or stand upright on a paddleboard. However, her greatest passion is sourcing (straight from the farm) and preparing fresh, organic meals. She says, “I bake all our bread and make all our jams and preserves. I bake banana bread, coconut cake and so on!” With all that fabulous food, it’s a good thing that for most guests, swimming a few pre-breakfast laps around SILENT WINGS in the balmy Caribbean Sea is also absolutely delicious!
