Captain Mark
Meet Mark, your accomplished and adventurous captain aboard Ripple. Born in Japan and raised in England by American parents, Mark has always possessed a deep-seated passion for voyaging and all things nautical.
Mark's sailing journey began at the tender age of 13 when he completed his RYA day skipper course on a 32' sloop, navigating the picturesque French and English coasts. His love for the sea led him to pursue a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth, where he also obtained his Yacht Master certification. During this time, Mark worked as a local dive guide and RIB pilot, honing his skills and knowledge of the marine environment.
Driven by a desire to explore the world, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor, working in various locations across the globe. With thousands of dives under his belt, including a remarkable 4.5-hour dive to 260' on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu, Mark's expertise in the underwater realm is unparalleled.
Over the past 17 years, Mark has been an integral part of the luxury yachting industry, earning his MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable highlight of his career was his time spent with the race vessel 'Earthrace,' where he and a team of four crew members circumnavigated the globe in a record-breaking 60 days aboard a 78' motor yacht – a World Record that still stands today!

Chef Kathryn
Born and raised in Central Florida, Chef Kathryn developed a deep love for the ocean early on—surfing and fishing along the coast before eventually taking up sailing as an adult. Her natural affinity for the water has grown over the years through racing regattas on the Chesapeake Bay, sport fishing, and crewing passages aboard private yachts. These experiences have awarded her thousands of nautical miles throughout the Caribbean and along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

Kathryn’s culinary journey began at just 14, working in a local deli after school. She quickly rose through the kitchen ranks, eventually stepping into line cook roles in high-volume restaurants, where she thrived under pressure. After time away to explore other ventures and raise a family, she returned to hospitality to run her family’s bar—reigniting her love for crafting meaningful experiences through food and service.

Over time, Kathryn’s relationship with food evolved into something deeply holistic. Cooking became a way to connect people, honor local environments, and nourish both body and soul. Inspired by her extensive travels, her cooking style is eclectic and intuitive—she may serve fresh ceviche one day and prepare local fare from the port the next. She is passionate about clean, fresh ingredients and tailoring every meal to guest preferences and dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and allergy-conscious requests.

A registered nurse as well as a chef, Kathryn embodies the intersection of care and cuisine. After the COVID pandemic, she leaned into travel, cooking, and mindful living—which eventually led her to the world of yachting, where all her passions converge.

When she’s not in the galley, Kathryn enjoys staying active and grounded—spending time with her three children, camping, fishing, hiking, skiing, golfing, going to concerts, and working out. For her, cooking aboard a yacht is not just a job—it’s a mindful labor of love, delivered with warmth, skill, and a genuine joy for making every moment onboard unforgettable.

“Cooking is not just what I do. It’s a mindful labor of love—to create something with quality ingredients, that is nourishing and delicious, tailored to the client’s preferences and conscious of the environment.” – Chef Kathryn




Deckhand / Stew Caitlin Green
With a deep love for the ocean and a drive for adventure, Caitlin Green has spent the past three years working aboard sailing and power catamarans along the East Coast and beyond. She has logged over 8,000 nautical miles, from the quiet anchorages of Chesapeake Bay to Fort Lauderdale’s busy waterways and through the locks of the Panama Canal.

As a Deck/Stew, Caitlin brings a solid foundation in both exterior and interior yacht operations. Whether handling lines, assisting with water sports, standing watch, or setting up for guest arrivals, she approaches every task with focus and enthusiasm. She’s equally at home mixing an Espresso Martini as she is running the deck, and her dedication to seamanship and safety is reflected in her recent achievement of a 200 Ton Captain’s License.

Earlier in life, Caitlin worked in hospitality, first waitressing and later managing a bed and breakfast overlooking a bay known for its whales. Those experiences honed her eye for detail and service, skills she now brings to life at sea.

Joining Ripple is a proud step for Caitlin, and she’s eager to help create smooth sails, good memories, and plenty of laughs for guests along the way.
