We appreciate and understand the importance of crew designation and clear communication with guests; however, we will confirm the actual crew 30 days before arrival. We reserve the right to change/reschedule the crew based on operations.

Cliff Wilson

Born and raised sailing in the San Francisco yacht community, Cliff has been racing since 1980 with sailing experience ranging from the Pacific to the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, BVI’s, Gulf of Mexico, and the Rio Dulce of Guatemala. Cliff’s mantra is “ski boots or barefoot!” so throughout his career, Cliff has headed up mountain operations for Mount Rose Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe, worked as an environmental consultant, and captained charter sailboats throughout Belize over the last 20 years.

When he’s not at the helm, in an engine room, or teaching ASA instructional classes, Cliff loves to scuba dive, spearfish, and entertain guests. Some guests have returned six times to Belize Sailing Vacations, with Cliff being first on their request list!

Rachael Wilson

Rachael moved to Belize in early 2009 after a 10-year corporate marketing career in London and a six-month solo travel tour of South America. Before her travels, Rachael worked as a marketing and innovation manager for a luxury food company, so she brings her passion for gourmet cooking and spirit for adventure to Belize Sailing Vacations. Rachael loves playing host to our guests, sharing her experiences, and ensuring everyone has the ultimate Belizean adventure. Rachael also owns our sister business, Absolute Belize, which provides travel planning services and countrywide knowledge and expertise for guests opting to spend time on land and the water.
