Crew of the “Morning Mist”, San Francisco Charter Yacht
The crew makes all the difference on a small yacht charter. Get to know the warm
and hospitable crew of the Morning Mist, San Francisco’s premier charter yacht.
Captain Jack Bell has over twenty-five years of experience navigating the waters
of North Americas west coast from California to Alaska. He is a U.S. Coast Guard
certified master of vessels to 100 tons and is trained and certified in first aid
and CPR.
Captain Jack was born in Ontario, Canada but has been a citizen of the US since 1967.
Captain Jack and his lovely wife Tricia are semi-retired from corporate life. The
company they owned was a consortium of 1,200 travel agencies throughout the US and
Canada. Much of their work was associated with the cruise line industry. They were
VIP guests on almost every new cruise ship inaugural sailing that has been built
in the last ten years. Their work in the travel industry privileged them with being
able to travel all over the world participating in seminars and meetings in many
countries. They sold their company a few years ago and are doing what they love,
boating in San Francisco Bay up to Sacramento. Captain Jack and Tricia make great
hosts and can turn a normal charter into a fun filled warm and pleasant experience.
The highlight of their summer is when their grandkids are on board and Captain Jack
is taking them exploring in the tender. Captain Jack is a licensed Merchant Marine
Captain. He is meticulous and consciences about safety on board the yacht, which
starts with a brief safety lecture at the beginning of each cruise. Captain Jack
says “We have never had a close call safety wise” and he is determined to keep it
that way.
Tricia’s duties at their company were to manage the office and staff and from time
to time lead groups of travel agency owners to places like the Caribbean, Mexico
and Alaska. Most of these trips were on cruise ships. She now says that traveling
by private yacht is far superior in many ways than cruising on cruise ships. Tricia
was born in San Diego and attended college in San Francisco. Besides helping Captain
Jack as First Mate with duties on the yacht, Tricia is also the chef and plans all
of the meals. If you want to know what a fabulous cook she is, just look at the captain’s
waistline.
