QUEST Crew Profile
Your crew aboard Quest - Cameron and Rhonda
Cameron and Rhonda hail from Alberta Canada and their passion for sailing and adventure has driven them to pursue a diverse range of sailing locations and experiences. One of their favorite sailing sites is the British Virgin Islands where they hope to share their excitement for the region and all it has to offer with their guests aboard Quest.
Cameron has been sailing most of his life, beginning at age 12 aboard his family’s sailboat in Vancouver and later competing nationally on the British Columbia Provincial sailing team. He has crewed in numerous distance and offshore races in the Pacific Northwest and is MCA certified. Prior to skippering Quest, Cameron spent many years in the marine shipping and transportation industry in a variety of roles. When not on the water, Cameron, enjoys being in the water and is a PADI Divemaster with many specialties. He has been diving since 1988. His skill, professionalism and enthusiasm makes for a fun and safe sailing vacation.
Rhonda is also an avid sailor, having completed numerous Canadian Yachting Association certifications and the Master of Yachts 200 Gross Ton (Mate) qualification. Her passion for sailing is matched by her enthusiasm for cooking and entertaining. Her use of fresh local ingredients to add local flavor to her dishes makes for a wonderful dining experience. Prior to boarding Quest, she spent 12 years as a pharmaceutical sales representative and before that worked in the horse industry as a Canadian Equestrian Federation riding coach. She is also a PADI Open Water Diver.
This outgoing and personable couple have a variety of interests outside of sailing including fly fishing, horse racing, travelling and horseback riding, to name a few. Come and enjoy their western hospitality and the vacation of a lifetime in a beautiful Caribbean setting!

We have had lots of wonderful vacations...but none that will leave us with the experiences and memories that this trip did. QUEST was the PERFECT boat for us, and Cameron and Rhonda exceeded our expectations each and every day. The food, the sights, the service...it was all absolutely amazing! 5 out of the 6 of us had never sailed the BVI's ... and we will ALL be back again. Thank you for all the work you did to make sure our trip was exactly what we were looking for -- right down to the birthday cake for Joy's birthday and the champagne for New Year's Eve. There was NOTHING left that you didn't think of -- and NOTHING that we would do differently. We will be back...THANK YOU for one of the best weeks of our lives!!!!!!!

Guests aboard Quest in mid-November, 2010
Cameron and Rhonda,
Thank you for the amazing week aboard Quest. We loved all the water sports - snorkeling, tubing and the kneeboard. Loved the mooring spots, especially Norman Island.
Food was awesome. The ribs were the best, worthy of Texas BBQ anytime! Kids loved the desserts and daily treats.
Thanks again and hope to see you again in 2011.

It was very comfortable and maintained throughout our stay.
3. Was the yacht well ventilated?
The air conditioning was fabulous in the evenings when we were in the salon or in our cabins.

The food looked as if it were out of Gourmet Magazine, and tasted even better. We will all miss Emily's cooking.
5. Did you like the area you sailed?
We were very familiar with the area and truly enjoyed our trip.
6. Could we at Virgin Island Sailing, Ltd. have helped you further in any way?

8. Additional comments on your charter?
We have no negative comments. The King's Ransom is a very special yacht with an exceptional crew. We were a family or nine with ages ranging from 19 to 66 and a great time was had by all. I highly recommend this trip.
