The Crew of Tahina
The crew of Tahina met while racing J/24 sailboats in 2004 and have sailed and cruised together ever since, eventually marrying in 2014. After sailing their current yacht, Tahina, from Panama to New Zealand as crew for her original owners, Captain Jason and Chef Lara purchased her in 2018. They have since fully refit her to the latest standards, creating the ideal platform for sharing their passions for sailing, water sports, and island life with guests.


Captain Jason Decker
Captain Jason holds an RYA Yachtmaster Ocean qualification, earned after years of competing at the highest levels of the J/24 one-design sailing class, as well as in numerous other one-design and handicap-rated sailing events around the world — from Europe to the Americas and New Zealand — coupled with a half-circumnavigation. Jason is also a qualified PADI Divemaster, an avid kiteboarder and sailor, and enjoys a morning paddleboard or surfing session whenever he can squeeze one in. He is also well known for creating delicious breakfasts at sea.

Chef Lara Ortiz
Raised in South Florida by an avid fisherman and all-around salty-living fanatic, Lara has been snorkeling, boating, and paddling for as long as she can remember. She has sailed well over 15,000 nautical miles over the years and, in addition to being the lead culinary artist on board, now focuses on helping guests plan and experience vacations of a lifetime. Lara is an expert at whipping up delicious treats to suit every craving, loves getting to know the nooks and crannies of the places they travel, and excels at matching guests’ interests with the perfect itinerary for their trip.
