Crew Profile

Captain Mark
Meet Mark, your accomplished and adventurous captain aboard Ripple. Born in Japan and raised in England by American parents, Mark has always possessed a deep-seated passion for voyaging and all things nautical.
Mark's sailing journey began at the tender age of 13 when he completed his RYA day skipper course on a 32' sloop, navigating the picturesque French and English coasts. His love for the sea led him to pursue a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth, where he also obtained his Yacht Master certification. During this time, Mark worked as a local dive guide and RIB pilot, honing his skills and knowledge of the marine environment.
Driven by a desire to explore the world, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor, working in various locations across the globe. With thousands of dives under his belt, including a remarkable 4.5-hour dive to 260' on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu, Mark's expertise in the underwater realm is unparalleled.
Over the past 17 years, Mark has been an integral part of the luxury yachting industry, earning his MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable highlight of his career was his time spent with the race vessel 'Earthrace,' where he and a team of four crew members circumnavigated the globe in a record-breaking 60 days aboard a 78' motor yacht – a World Record that still stands today!
As your captain on Ripple, Mark brings his wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion for exploration to ensure that your charter experience in the Virgin Islands is nothing short of extraordinary. His love for the region and its vibrant culture, coupled with his expertise in all aspects of yachting, guarantees an unforgettable adventure filled with fun, discovery, and natural wonders.
With Mark at the helm, you can rest assured that your journey aboard Ripple will be safe, exciting, and tailored to your every desire. Get ready to embark on a voyage like no other, guided by a true master of the seas.




Deckhand / Stew Caitlin Green
With a deep love for the ocean and a drive for adventure, Caitlin Green has spent the past three years working aboard sailing and power catamarans along the East Coast and beyond. She has logged over 8,000 nautical miles, from the quiet anchorages of Chesapeake Bay to Fort Lauderdale’s busy waterways and through the locks of the Panama Canal.

As a Deck/Stew, Caitlin brings a solid foundation in both exterior and interior yacht operations. Whether handling lines, assisting with water sports, standing watch, or setting up for guest arrivals, she approaches every task with focus and enthusiasm. She’s equally at home mixing an Espresso Martini as she is running the deck, and her dedication to seamanship and safety is reflected in her recent achievement of a 200 Ton Captain’s License.

Earlier in life, Caitlin worked in hospitality, first waitressing and later managing a bed and breakfast overlooking a bay known for its whales. Those experiences honed her eye for detail and service, skills she now brings to life at sea.

Joining Ripple is a proud step for Caitlin, and she’s eager to help create smooth sails, good memories, and plenty of laughs for guests along the way.
