COCONUT Crew Profile
Captain: Daniel Wise
As a guest about Coconut, you’ll quickly lean that Daniel Wise has a gift for sensing just the kind of holiday you have in mind. He’ll deftly conjure up activities perfectly suited to your style, and stir in some special treats and surprises to make your time on board truly exceptional.
If you are ready for a totally relaxing interlude, Daniel and his professional crew will dedicate themselves to creating a blissfully pampering atmosphere for you. Should you wish to polish your sailing skills, he will be your able instructor. And if you have come for lots of fantastic sailing, he’ll have Coconut showing off her stuff every day, sailing on and off the anchor, tacking up small inlets, and charging across wide open bays with the spray flying.
With an outgoing manner and wry sense of humour (he’s been known to tell a good sea story or two), Daniel will make you feel entirely at home right away. In addition to manning the helm and seeing that everything is always shipshape, he will be your genial guide and gracious host, always at your service when you need him, ever discreet when you don’t.
A native of West Sussex, England, Daniel’s love of the sea began in his teens while working on a neighbour’s boat on weekends. Years passed and his dream of sailing professionally became reality when competing in the Tall Ships Race. For the past ten years, Daniel has sailed the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans numerous times, gaining a wealth of knowledge of many parts of the world.
In addition to Daniel’s sailing qualifications, he also holds a degree in Maritime Business. Daniel is also a very keen golfer and when the time allows, he enjoys checking out the courses around the world.
Daniel is a well rounded sailor and has crewed on some of the largest super yachts in the world. As a skipper he has worked training volunteers to sail against the prevailing wind and currents and more recently skippered a large Catamaran in the Caribbean. It will be his pleasure to share Coconut with you while showing you a wonderful time both on board and in all the ports you visit.

(We) were very pleased with COCONUT. Very well maintained. Crew very interactive, Captain Dan Wise very competent. First Mate Dan was key with the water sports and sailing. Special note for Chef Moira Freeman who not only prepared wonderful meals, but also found time to interact with the 14 year old guests by talking with them and playing board games with them in the evening.
Enjoyed the Grenadines. The variety of the islands does make for a wonderful sail. Guests very happy with their vacation.
