MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: Jake Edwards
CHEF: Maddie Pow
Jake and Maddie, originally from England, are a dynamic duo with over a decade of experience working together in hospitality and yachting. Their shared passion for the outdoors, adventure, and delivering unforgettable guest experiences has taken them around the world — and now to the beautiful waters of the British Virgin Islands.
From a young age, Jake has been drawn to the great outdoors. He studied Outdoor Adventure at college before becoming a dinghy instructor, sharing his love for sailing and water-sports. His sense of adventure then took him and Maddie to Canada, where he worked at a ski resort. There, he developed a deep understanding of mechanics, safety, and customer service — skills that have served him well in his yachting career.
Since moving into the yachting industry, Jake has worked on vessels up to 42m, logging many sea miles and gaining invaluable experience in seamanship, guest care, and yacht operations. His approachable nature, professionalism, and extensive knowledge ensure guests feel safe, relaxed, and able to fully enjoy their time on the water. Now captaining luxury catamarans, Jake is excited to share his passion for sailing and adventure with every charter.
Maddie’s love for adventure and hospitality matches Jake’s perfectly. After studying Outdoor Adventure Education at university, she developed a strong belief in the importance of immersing oneself in nature — and for her, there’s no better way to do that than on the water. Alongside her adventurous spirit, Maddie has always had a passion for food. Maddie combines a lifelong passion for food with professional culinary training, holding a Culinary Arts diploma. She has a plethora of experience as a stewardess on yachts up to 70m, giving her a strong background in guest service and attention to detail. She went on to work as a private chef for a family on land as well as a yacht chef on a 28m motor yacht, where she created fresh, homemade dishes tailored to guest preferences.
For Maddie, cooking is about creating memorable moments around the table. She loves tailoring menus to guests’ preferences, sourcing fresh ingredients, and combining flavour with presentation to elevate every meal onboard. Her warmth and creativity shine through in everything she serves.
Together
With their combined backgrounds in outdoor adventure, hospitality, and yachting, Jake and Maddie bring energy, professionalism, and a personal touch to every charter. Whether it’s sailing through the turquoise waters, guiding a snorkel adventure, or serving up a delicious meal, Jake and Maddie are dedicated to providing you with an exceptional and seamless experience in the BVI and can’t wait to welcome you onboard Big Nauti soon.
