CAPTAIN TOBY FELIX
Toby began his journey to becoming a yacht captain in St. Thomas as a dock attendant for Caribbean Yacht Charters and quickly worked his way through the company to the position of assistant manager.  His responsibilities, including detailing yachts for charter, mechanical work, boat handling, customer checkouts and customer relations, were perfect training for charter.  After a few years of watching boats full of happy people sail away from the dock, he switched to the other side of the business and worked as a bareboat captain for CYC for a year.
From 1997 to 2001, Toby cruised the East Coast and the Caribbean as first mate aboard two classic Alden yachts, the 65 foot yawl Id and the 92 foot ketch Isabelle.  Over the last five years he has captained charter and private vessels ranging from a 1920’s commuter yacht built for the grandson of the founder of the Canadian Club distillery, to a 54 foot Little Harbor sloop.  During this period of time he spent a year and a half managing a full restoration of the classic 92 foot Fife ketch Adventuress. 
Captain Felix holds a USCG 100 ton Masters License with sailing & Assistance Towing Endorsements.  He has qualifications in Yacht Fire Safety Training; Adult, Infant & Child CPR; and First Aid & Safety.
