About Us
Chef Kara
Kara was born in West Australia in 1988 and moved to Darwin, Northern Territory at a young age. Kara is the oldest of eight adventurous children raised in the bush of the Outback. Her father inspired the love of the sea with sails along the coast of north Australia and throughout Indonesia. After a career driving haul trucks in the mines she set off to explore the world. Living throughout Indonesia, Thailand, and Europe she eventually found her way to the US. She lived in New York City for two years working in event management, but whilst on holidays in Key West she realized she wanted to be back at the ocean. She was hired by Fury Water Adventures, where she worked for almost 5 years. Her long list of experience and credentials include chef and mate for a charter spearfishing company as well as chef and ground support for a TP52 Series Team in Europe. She is a USCG 100 ton captain and accredited Ashburton Chefs Academy graduate.
Captain Sy
Originally from Atlanta, Ga, Sy was born in 1987 to a family rooted in hospitality and travel. His passion for the ocean began early during his summers on the shore of Amelia Island, Fl. After college he spent nearly a decade in hospitality management. Prior to finding his passion working on the water he managed an event venue and historic bed and breakfast in Amelia Island. In early 2017, Sy stumbled upon the beautiful islands of the Florida Keys. The crystal clear waters, fruitful life, and a certain Aussie sheila captured his heart. He spent three years captaining with Fury Water Adventures; taking thousands of guests a year snorkeling, on backcountry mangrove tours, and parasailing!! In December of 2020 he married the love of his life and together they set off south for the USVI's.
