Let’s Set Sail!
Location: West End, Tortola
Welcome to the good ship Avizia!
Our anticipation has never been greater. We have been working tirelessly to get our boat ready for arrival. From stocking the boat with food, filling our library with learning materials, and getting to know one another as staff, we are ready to hit the water. We can't wait to share this amazing experience with you all!
A little about your staff
Our courageous skipper and dive instructor, Stich!
Stich was born and raised in Sarasota, FL, and left to attend The Ohio State University. After graduating with a degree in Hospitality Management, she realized she missed the warmth and moved back to Florida to become a dive instructor on yachts. Stich continued to advance in her yachting career by getting her Yachtmaster and looks forward to sharing her passion for the ocean with the Avizia crew this session!
Our dedicated sailing instructor and medic, Max!
Max could not be more excited to return for his third summer as staff. He spent the last year earning his Yachtmaster and is ready to share his new knowledge with students. Max is studying design and business at Colorado College when he is not on the water. In Colorado, he enjoys exploring the backcountry on his skis and bike. Some of his favorite memories as a staff member and when he was a student are the camp barbecues. Max can't wait to get to the warm water in the Virgin Islands and meet everyone!
Our cunning Dive Instructor and medic, Ian!
Ian was introduced to sailing and diving when attending ActionQuest in 2016. Since then, he attended two more summers as a student and developed a deep love for the ocean while gaining scuba certifications and working on his sailing skills. In the fall of 2021, Ian joined Seamester's Argo on Palau to Thailand voyage. After a fantastic experience, Ian decided he wanted to share his passion for the ocean with others. He completed his Divemaster and Instructor courses this last winter in Thailand, allowing him to join this fantastic team for ActionQuest this summer!
Can't wait to meet you all!
