〰 Zephyr 〰

She began her love of the sea when her family moved to Gabriola Island as a baby from the plains of Saskatchewan, Canada. After moving to Costa Rica with her mother at 15 and and graduating high school at 18, Zephyr worked cleaning boats in Los Sueños Marina where she became stewardess on her first private luxury yacht launching her career as yacht crew where she gained experience sailing the world on different types of vessels.

Zephyr has sailed the Caribbean, Australia, Indonesia, Maldives, Seychelles, Egypt, the Mediterranean, USA, and Mexico taking crew certifications along the way such as the 200 Ton Yachtmaster captain license in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and logging over 40,000 nautical miles.

In 2009 she returned to Costa Rica where she started a family and in 2014 founded La Fragata Sailing Club.

Currently, Zephyr lives in Playa Hermosa, Jacó with her son and daughter and runs the sailing club and offers wellness sailing experiences.
