Captain: Connor Burns
MEET YOUR CREW: Connor Burns and Ada Cruz
Growing up beside the breathtaking shores of Cape Town, South Africa, the calm certainty of the ocean’s rhythm is ingrained in Connor’s soul. His upbringing was a mix of saltwater, sand and awesome adventures.
An opportunity of a Trans-Atlantic crossing ignited his passion for sailing. “Nothing beats the thrill of catching the wind and guiding a vessel through the water with no one in sight”. Connor was hooked! His sailing has taken him from Cape Town, to Panama, to the Mediterranean, and more recently to the Caribbean where he has run term charters within the BVI.
Connor embraces his role as a charter captain and host, introducing his charter guests to the world of sailing by curating unforgettable experiences in the beautiful setting of the Virgin Islands.
Adamaris (Ada) Cruz, a true Puerto Rican at heart. Born and raised in the beautiful town of Trujillo Alto, she has a genuine passion for all things water related, whether it’s swimming, diving, or simply enjoying the soothing sound of waves on the shore. When it comes to food, Ada is an absolute connoisseur - savoring the traditional flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine and exploring culinary delights from around the world. Ada not only appreciates good food, but she also has a true passion for cooking. Experimenting with new recipes and placing her own twist on traditional dishes, she loves the creative process of preparing delicious meals that bring people together. She has recently completed a two-week culinary course at Stir Crazy, Super Yacht Training Academy in Cape Town, South Africa.
Together, Connor and Ada create amazing charters for their guests that forge connections, take pleasure in culinary delights and create life lasting memories!

Reviews
The trip hit everything we wanted to do for our first time on a catamaran.
The crew made it so relaxing and they were really fun to hang out with.
Thank you Connor and Ada for everything. You are both wonderful.
Connor and Ada, you took the experience to a new level! Your hospitality and character couldn't be beat.
We will remember this trip for a lifetime.
The night of Cards Against Humanity made us laugh crazily! You both took such good care of us to make sure we had the best week of 2024.
Thanks for all the fun.
Our sincere thanks for your impeccable service and kind friendship during our journey. It was truly unforgettable. The food was delicious, and Connor's drinks so fun and delightful. Our very best wishes for your continued success and adventure on LIBRA
It's is what we all needed
Thanks for all the fun times
Well worth the long journey from Australia!
To Connor, thanks for always mooring us in the best spots and the great history lessons at every location!
Ada, thanks for always keeping us well fed, the meals were awesome every single time - fresh, tasty and filling!
Libra is a fantastic yacht but without the crew it would not be!
Great food and great times!
Ada - your meals were wonderful and every day we looked forward to what you were going to create for us. I especially loved waking up to the breakfasts and the evening desserts. Tim loved your dinner creations. The charcuterie boards were always "right on time" as sailing makes you so hungry. LOL. Everything was perfect!
Playing Catchphrase with you both was a highlight as you had fun with this insane crowd. It was impressive how you were not deterred from the playful "smack-talk" either. Coming back from an evening at Soggy Dollar Bar to find a lovely birthday surprise with balloons and decorations was so nice for Vicki - she was very touched.
Connor you have a great knowledge of the different islands. We appreciate you getting us to the Baths before the the crowds - how amazing to see it as the first footprints on the sand for the day. The snorkeling spots were so cool for me as I had very little knowledge of snorkeling. Thank you for taking us to Anegada, it was so beautiful touring the island to see the flamingos and beautiful water and beaches. The fresh Anegada lobster dinner was amazing!
Thank you again for making the tour exceptional and one we will never forget. We all said that you and Ada will always be our captain and chef when we return - hopefully in the very near future. Tim is sailing again with his buddies in the Spring and he will reach out for sure to maybe see you and Ada.
Our group was, well, "eventful" 😉 and maybe just a bit hard to manage...but you guys were just perfect and so flexible about what we needed.
The food was terrific and you made sure we had what we wanted and also where we wanted to go. Our schedule was your schedule...doesn't get much better than that.
Vicki and I keep talking about this trip (and always will)...her birthday was so much fun and much of that was due to both of you making sure we were all happy.
Thank you again Connor and Ada...we hope you have a terrific 2024 and hope to see you soon
Captain Connor is a true professional, navigating the crystal-clear waters with confidence and expertise. His knowledge of the area is unparalleled, ensuring that every moment of our journey was filled with breathtaking views and exciting destinations. Connor's friendly and accommodating demeanor made us feel not just like passengers, but like honored guests on our private floating paradise.
Chef Ada, a culinary wizard in her own right, delighted our taste buds with every meal. From sunrise breakfasts to sunset dinners, each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Ada's attention to detail and ability to craft delicious meals, even in the confines of a catamaran's galley, left us in awe. Dietary preferences were not just accommodated but elevated to gourmet experiences.
Together, Captain Connor and Chef Ada created a seamless and unforgettable vacation for us. The catamaran was pristine, the atmosphere was relaxed, and every request was met with a smile. It's evident that this dynamic duo takes immense pride in ensuring their guests have the time of their lives.
If you're considering a catamaran vacation around the British Virgin Islands, look no further. Captain Connor Burns and Chef Ada are the dream team that will turn your holiday into an adventure of a lifetime. We can't wait for our next voyage with them!

Everything from the food, to the watersports, to the snorkel spots, to the cocktails and cappuccinos was just perfect!
I think after this week, we can all say that "Boat Life Is The Best Life".

Cant wait to explore more with you all in the future.
Your kindness and hospitality truly made this special place blossom. The adventures (especially turtle and eagle ray sightings) were moments of pure joy and happiness.
We so enjoyed getting to know you both. Cheers to new friends near and far - we can't wait to explore with you both again one day soon!
What a wonderful week we had and so much is due to your amazing hospitality and hard work. From the beautiful bays and beaches to the wonderful food, we will remember this trip for years to come. My personal favourite was Little Lamshur Bay - simply gorgeous!
I could never get David to the USVI but I think he has been converted and is now a big fan.
Your hospitality, captivating personalities and your positive energy are amazing! Never stop being YOU.
We loved hearing the passion in your stories of South Africa and hope to get there some day to see if ourselves.
Be it the cappuccinos, delicious meals, PAIN KILLERS, games played after dinner or just life on Libra, you made it special for me and my dear family. Many memories were made!
The way both of you love your job and love people is so evident. No bad day aboard Libra!
I cant say thank you enough!
It was awesome starting mornings with fresh coffee and cappuccino. The food was fresh and amazing.
We were the envy of every other boat thanks to the "reverse cabungee" and incredible water sports experiences.
I also appreciated the depth of the conversations and personal connections.
It's almost as if you could read our minds and anticipate our every desire in advance.
Thank you both for making such a memorable holiday for us.
I am excited to leave this trip with two new friends in y'all and cannot wait to see y'all again - there WILL be an "again".
Y'all are the hardest workers I have ever met and truly have a passion for people, service and your jobs. Keep on!
Thank you for making this one of the most memorable holidays to date. We cannot wait to see you two again.
A wonderful experience to refuel our spirits with nature and our connection with our family.
may God bless you and continue to give you the joy and strength to continue giving your guests so much joy and peace.
Lida, your cooking is delicious and proves that Peyton actually will eat ! :) Thank you for sharing your recipes - we will let you know how we do.
Chris, we love your energy. Not only do you have every fun sea toy available at a seconds notice but you do it with such a happy, fun-living vibe. We have never seen someone take such meticulous care of water toys)
We will truly miss the both of you the most from this trip. We will also miss our morning cappucchino's and endless cocktails.
It was a "pleasure" meeting you guys.
Indeed, we had a wonderful time with your very professional crew, Chris and Lida. Chris, is at the top of his game and most certainly the best skipper that I have had the pleasure of meeting.

beside the breathtaking shores of Cape Town, South Africa, the calm certainty of the ocean’s rhythm is ingrained in Connor’s soul. His upbringing was a mix of saltwater, sand and awesome adventures.<br /> An opportunity of a Trans-Atlantic crossing ignited his passion for sailing. “Nothing beats the thrill of catching the wind and guiding a vessel through the water with no one in sight”. Connor was hooked! His sailing has taken him from Cape Town, to Panama, to the Mediterranean, and more recently to the Caribbean where he has run term charters within the BVI.<br /> <br /> Connor embraces his role as a charter captain and host, introducing his charter guests to the world of sailing by curating unforgettable experiences in the beautiful setting of the Virgin Islands. <br /> <br /> Adamaris (Ada) Cruz, a true Puerto Rican at heart. Born and raised in the beautiful town of Trujillo Alto, she has a genuine passion for all things water related, whether it’s swimming, diving, or simply enjoying the soothing sound of waves on the shore. When it comes to food, Ada is an absolute connoisseur - savoring the traditional flavors of Puerto Rican cuisine and exploring culinary delights from around the world. Ada not only appreciates good food, but she also has a true passion for cooking. Experimenting with new recipes and placing her own twist on traditional dishes, she loves the creative process of preparing delicious meals that bring people together. She has recently completed a two-week culinary course at Stir Crazy, Super Yacht Training Academy in Cape Town, South Africa. <br /> <br /> Together, Connor and Ada create amazing charters for their guests that forge connections, take pleasure in culinary delights and create life lasting memories!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ";s:14:"yachtCrewPhoto";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew1Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht6954/6954crew1.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew2Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht6954/6954crew2.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew3Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew4Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew5Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew6Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew7Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew8Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew9Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew10Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew1Name";s:12:"Connor Burns";s:14:"yachtCrew2Name";s:8:"Ada Cruz";s:14:"yachtCrew3Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew4Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew5Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew6Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew7Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew8Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew9Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew10Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew1Title";s:7:"Captain";s:15:"yachtCrew2Title";s:15:"Chef/First Mate";s:15:"yachtCrew3Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew4Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew5Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew6Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew7Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew8Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew9Title";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtCrew10Title";s:0:"";s:9:"yachtFlag";s:3:"BVI";s:13:"yachtHomePort";s:16:"St. Thomas, USVI";s:14:"yachtWBasePort";s:16:"St. Thomas, USVI";s:8:"yachtRig";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGrossTons";s:0:"";s:12:"yachtAcNight";s:3:"Yes";s:16:"yachtAcSurCharge";s:2:"No";s:9:"yachtTubs";s:1:"0";s:20:"yachtLocationDetails";s:72:"St. Thomas, USVI.

From the beginning you both made us feel welcome and very safe. Your confidence in sailing and top notch service were impeccable. You made sure we were well fed, having fun, and had all the comforts in place for us. <br /> <br /> Ada - your meals were wonderful and every day we looked forward to what you were going to create for us. I especially loved waking up to the breakfasts and the evening desserts. Tim loved your dinner creations. The charcuterie boards were always "right on time" as sailing makes you so hungry. LOL. Everything was perfect!<br /> <br /> Playing Catchphrase with you both was a highlight as you had fun with this insane crowd. It was impressive how you were not deterred from the playful "smack-talk" either. Coming back from an evening at Soggy Dollar Bar to find a lovely birthday surprise with balloons and decorations was so nice for Vicki - she was very touched.<br /> <br /> Connor you have a great knowledge of the different islands. We appreciate you getting us to the Baths before the the crowds - how amazing to see it as the first footprints on the sand for the day. The snorkeling spots were so cool for me as I had very little knowledge of snorkeling. Thank you for taking us to Anegada, it was so beautiful touring the island to see the flamingos and beautiful water and beaches. The fresh Anegada lobster dinner was amazing!<br /> <br /> Thank you again for making the tour exceptional and one we will never forget. We all said that you and Ada will always be our captain and chef when we return - hopefully in the very near future.

Our schedule was your schedule...doesn't get much better than that.<br /> Vicki and I keep talking about this trip (and always will)...her birthday was so much fun and much of that was due to both of you making sure we were all happy.<br /> <br /> Thank you again Connor and Ada...we hope you have a terrific 2024 and hope to see you soon";s:11:"yachtGC12P1";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC12P2";s:0:"";s:11:"yachtGC12P3";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGC13Title";s:18:"True Professionals";s:9:"yachtGC13";s:1657:"We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a seven day catamaran vacation around the stunning British Virgin Islands, and it was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the exceptional team of Captain Connor Burns and Chef Ada on Libra.<br /> <br /> Captain Connor is a true professional, navigating the crystal-clear waters with confidence and expertise. His knowledge of the area is unparalleled, ensuring that every moment of our journey was filled with breathtaking views and exciting destinations. Connor's friendly and accommodating demeanor made us feel not just like passengers, but like honored guests on our private floating paradise.<br /> <br /> Chef Ada, a culinary wizard in her own right, delighted our taste buds with every meal. From sunrise breakfasts to sunset dinners, each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Ada's attention to detail and ability to craft delicious meals, even in the confines of a catamaran's galley, left us in awe. Dietary preferences were not just accommodated but elevated to gourmet experiences.<br /> <br /> Together, Captain Connor and Chef Ada created a seamless and unforgettable vacation for us. The catamaran was pristine, the atmosphere was relaxed, and every request was met with a smile. It's evident that this dynamic duo takes immense pride in ensuring their guests have the time of their lives.<br /> <br /> If you're considering a catamaran vacation around the British Virgin Islands, look no further. Captain Connor Burns and Chef Ada are the dream team that will turn your holiday into an adventure of a lifetime.

A beautiful and memorable trip. We had two of us who had never cruised before and safe to say they will do it again! <br /> <br /> Great food and great times!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> One We Will Never Forget</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We are writing to let you know how much we were blown away by our sailing trip to the Virgin Islands with you both! From the beginning you both made us feel welcome and very safe. Your confidence in sailing and top notch service were impeccable. You made sure we were well fed, having fun, and had all the comforts in place for us. <br /> <br /> Ada - your meals were wonderful and every day we looked forward to what you were going to create for us. I especially loved waking up to the breakfasts and the evening desserts. Tim loved your dinner creations. The charcuterie boards were always "right on time" as sailing makes you so hungry. LOL. Everything was perfect!<br /> <br /> Playing Catchphrase with you both was a highlight as you had fun with this insane crowd. It was impressive how you were not deterred from the playful "smack-talk" either. Coming back from an evening at Soggy Dollar Bar to find a lovely birthday surprise with balloons and decorations was so nice for Vicki - she was very touched.<br /> <br /> Connor you have a great knowledge of the different islands. We appreciate you getting us to the Baths before the the crowds - how amazing to see it as the first footprints on the sand for the day. The snorkeling spots were so cool for me as I had very little knowledge of snorkeling. Thank you for taking us to Anegada, it was so beautiful touring the island to see the flamingos and beautiful water and beaches. The fresh Anegada lobster dinner was amazing!<br /> <br /> Thank you again for making the tour exceptional and one we will never forget. We all said that you and Ada will always be our captain and chef when we return - hopefully in the very near future. Tim is sailing again with his buddies in the Spring and he will reach out for sure to maybe see you and Ada.<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Doesn't Get Much Better</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>It is hard to explain how wonderful our trip with you two was. We had such a great sailing adventure...and we all felt so secure with you two guiding us! Your competence, professionalism and sense of humor is hard to find...anywhere! Libra is very fortunate to have you both.<br /> Our group was, well, "eventful" 😉 and maybe just a bit hard to manage...but you guys were just perfect and so flexible about what we needed.<br /> The food was terrific and you made sure we had what we wanted and also where we wanted to go. Our schedule was your schedule...doesn't get much better than that.<br /> Vicki and I keep talking about this trip (and always will)...her birthday was so much fun and much of that was due to both of you making sure we were all happy.<br /> <br /> Thank you again Connor and Ada...we hope you have a terrific 2024 and hope to see you soon</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> True Professionals</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a seven day catamaran vacation around the stunning British Virgin Islands, and it was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the exceptional team of Captain Connor Burns and Chef Ada on Libra.<br /> <br /> Captain Connor is a true professional, navigating the crystal-clear waters with confidence and expertise. His knowledge of the area is unparalleled, ensuring that every moment of our journey was filled with breathtaking views and exciting destinations. Connor's friendly and accommodating demeanor made us feel not just like passengers, but like honored guests on our private floating paradise.<br /> <br /> Chef Ada, a culinary wizard in her own right, delighted our taste buds with every meal. From sunrise breakfasts to sunset dinners, each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Ada's attention to detail and ability to craft delicious meals, even in the confines of a catamaran's galley, left us in awe. Dietary preferences were not just accommodated but elevated to gourmet experiences.<br /> <br /> Together, Captain Connor and Chef Ada created a seamless and unforgettable vacation for us. The catamaran was pristine, the atmosphere was relaxed, and every request was met with a smile. It's evident that this dynamic duo takes immense pride in ensuring their guests have the time of their lives.<br /> <br /> If you're considering a catamaran vacation around the British Virgin Islands, look no further. Captain Connor Burns and Chef Ada are the dream team that will turn your holiday into an adventure of a lifetime. We can't wait for our next voyage with them!<br /> </div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Best Family Vacation!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We had the best family vacation onboard the Libra.
