| CREW PROFILES |  | | Captain: Randy Zurrin | Nationality: USA | | Number of Crew: 3 | | Crew Profiles:
Your Captain, Randy Zurrin, is a Western Massachusetts native who began his boating career in the waters off Southern California, taking weekend cruises with friends aboard sailing vessels from 30' up to 47'. After a 6 year hitch in the U.S. Army, he made his way to the sunny Caribbean and found work on a variety of vessels, eventually purchasing along with his wife Sandy, their own boat, a 41' sloop, which they sailed from Florida and chartered around the U.S. & British Virgin Islands for four seasons before stepping up to the helm of Obsession. He holds a 100 ton Masters License, is a PADI certified Diver, and has been known to captivate guests with his knowledge of Island lore.
First Mate and wife, Sandy has been boating since she was 17, when she would trailer her own 19' skiff to the seaside beaches along the Central Florida coast, venturing out as far as 20 miles offshore to pursue her passion for fishing. Her enthusiasm for boating in general landed her a variety of jobs, including a management position aboard one of the worlds’ fastest Coast Guard Certified Passenger Vessels, plying the waters of the USVI.
Another passion of hers is travel; she went along with the U.S.V.I. Olympic Bobsled Team to Albertville, France in 1992 as Team Photographer. Sandy ran her own Tour and Travel company in Daytona Beach before settling in St. Thomas. This hospitality background is evident in the way she caters to her guests every whim. Her menu runs the gamut from traditional American fare, a touch of Southwestern, a pinch of Caribbean, and a lot of imagination.
Your Personal Chef, Ashley Hotchkiss
Ashley left her hometown of Austin, Texas, armed with a degree in the culinary arts, a few years of practical experience, and a desire to see the world. Her travels landed her in St. Thomas, where she was the Sous Chef for a well known hotel and restaurant high on a hill overlooking St. Thomas Harbor. Watching the boats come and go piqued her interest in working aboard a charter yacht, and when opportunity knocked, she answered, and found herself aboard ‘Obsession’.
Preparing special diets are no problem for Ashley, with prior notice she can plan and serve a wide range of meals to please carnivore and vegan alike, and knows exactly which wine to serve with your evening meal, to ensure your gastronomic delight.
When Ashley finds herself with a little free time, she enjoys going to the beach, reading, traveling, and is always looking for new recipes to try out on Obsession’s guests.
