Meet the Skipper - Emily Caruso

Who is Emily Caruso?

Emily grew up in Somerset, England and has spent the last 18 years sailing professionally, leading crews on unforgettable ocean adventures. From skippering Gipsy Moth IV—Sir Francis Chichester’s legendary round-the-world yacht—to training Clipper Round The World crews, Emily has a wealth of experience navigating the world’s most incredible and remote destinations.

With an MCA Master >200 unlimited ticket and an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor qualification, Emily has shared her expertise with thousands of sailors, from novices to seasoned adventurers. Her fervent belief in making sailing accessible, enjoyable, and truly transformative is at the core of her work.

When Emily is not navigating the seas, she indulges in her love for swimming, and writing about her adventures. Her captivating stories have been featured in top yachting magazines, offering readers a glimpse into the thrilling world of sailing.

When we asked Emily about her passion for sailing, she described it as a journey of discovery, learning, and creating unforgettable moments on the water.

We are delighted that Emily will be leading our one-week Relaxing Croatia Adventures in 2025.
