CAPTAIN
Milla-Emilia Makela

Milla grew up in the coastal regions of Finland, and from the time she was just an infant, her parents had introduced her to the world of sailing. This early exposure turned into a lifelong passion, and as she grew older, she continued to sail with her father on their H-boat.

Professionally, Milla has had a dedication to social work, finding contentment in roles that have allowed her to support individuals of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly. In the past four years, she turned back to her love of the sea, serving as a Captain in the Mediterranean. She approaches life with a strong work ethic, always striving to turn her passions into reality.

Milla is an avid outdoor enthusiast. She loves hiking and skiing. Her passion for the outdoors led also her to study to become a wilderness guide. Her journey from the Finnish coast to the warm waters of the Caribbean reflects her unwavering dedication to sailing and adventure, as well as her undying love for the sea.

CHEF
Georgie Boxall

Georgie is a Holistic Nutritionist and passionate Private Chef from the UK, who was most recently based in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. She specializes in creating vibrant, nourishing meals that fuel adventure and well-being.

Raised in the English countryside among horses, home-cooked meals, and cozy pub fires, Georgie’s first career began in film and TV -from Sky Sports in London to advertising production in Vancouver. But it was a personal need to heal her gut that sparked a new path. Self-taught in the kitchen, she discovered the power of food as medicine. This journey led her to work with a wellness meal prep company, luxury ski chalets in the French Alps, and eventually into her favourite kitchen yet-the galley.

Over the past year, Georgie has worked as Sole Chef on sailing yachts in the BVI, France, and the Bahamas, creating high-vibe, globally inspired meals tailored to every palate. She’s also catered retreats, bachelorettes, and film crews, always bringing bold flavours, beautiful colours, and a soulful, creative touch to the plate.

Her kitchen secret? She doesn’t follow recipes-she creates, turning food into art. With a flair for sauces, an intuitive sense of flavour, and a background in wellness, Georgie brings warmth, energy, and a deep sense of care to life onboard.

Outside the galley, Georgie is an avid outdoor enthusiast. A skier, surfer, and passionate water lover, she thrives in the elements- whether snorkeling, gravel biking, cold dipping, or guiding yoga sessions on deck. Her bubbly energy and love of connection make guests feel instantly at home, ensuring every charter is as nourishing as it is unforgettable.

Milla and Nicole, we had such an amazing week and you both are experts in your fields. We felt safe and secure so we relaxed completely! The food was so delicious and so pretty. We are inspired to try these things at home. We loved how you both shared your authentic selves with us! A special gift to us!
April 2025
What a week! We cannot thank you enough for making our trip through the BVIs on Apricity such an amazing and memorable experience. Bryce and Chase lovedthe sea scooters and tubing behind the dinghy and the 50+ frozen drinks they probably had! Jessie and Travis loved every island stop on our tour, especially Peter Island, Norman Island, Anegada, Jost and North Sound. Thanks for giving Travis an introduction to sailing. Milla - we were all so impressed by your knowledge of sailing and appreciative for your work and of Apricity. You are great! We could go on and on about how special the week was. THANK YOU both for making it so!
February 2025
Thank you for the incredible week. We were blown away starting at our first step on the boat by the welcoming crew and beautiful boat. Each day on the trip was accompanied by delicious meals by Elif, which were all well prepared, planned and full of flavor. While sailing Milla took the time to teach our group to sail and made us feel part of the crew. Our favorite stops through out the trip were Anegada and Virgin Gorda - Tipsy’s was such a fun spot! This will forever be on the top of our trips. We are forever grateful to have experienced sailing on the Apricity.
February 2025
Thanks for the around the world experiences - from the drinks to the food to the cheers (cheers, skål, serefe, sagligimiza, kippis, salute, huzzah). While the wind was strong, we cruised right along. But you didn’t steer us wrong. All the stops were the tops, and the drinks really rocked. The meals were the deals, and you really set our mood, with the amazing food! The tables were set with blingy, and you gave us rides in your dingy. This trip went fast, but it won’t be our last.
February 2025
We cannot thank you enough for making our week in the BVI so incredible! From the moment we stopped onboard, you created an experience that was not only seamless but beyond anything we could have imagined.

Every detail, from the thoughtful itinerary to amazing meals - was perfect. We loved every snorkel spot, every stunning view, and every moment of simply soaking in the beauty of the islands. And our adventures of saving baby goats and sneaking conch shells onboard will definitely go down as highlights. It was clear how much care and expertise went into planning our journey, and we truly appreciate it.

Beyond that, getting to know you both and seeing your passion firsthand was a special part of the trip. Your warmth, energy, and love for what you do made all the difference, and we feel so lucky to have shared this adventure with you.

Thank you again for everything - you made this week one we will never forget! Wishing you smooth sailing and we hope our paths cross again someday.
January 2025
Honestly beyond expectations. You are a great team. Everything was perfect, From the spots you chose to anchor, every meal, the little things you both did. Thank you both for a great memory we will cherish for a long time. Don’t be surprised if you see us again. Fair warning. Greatly appreciated! -Jeff

Thank you guys for all the time spent to make this trip perfect. For the amazing food and for showing us around all the islands. Thank you for spending time with us and we are all super grateful! -Cort

Thank you for making this trip incredible!! I had an amazing time seeing and exploring the islands and tasting different foods. New Years I will never forget! Y’all are so cool and I wish you both the best on the rest of your time here! Until next time. - Ellen

Thank you for an amazing experience aboard Apricity. Everything was just exceptional, including the both of you. All the very best in your future ahead. Hope our paths cross again. Cheers. - Tracy

Dear Milla and Elif, Thank you for hosting us on the most special vacation. You both have a heart of service. You give with joy. This made our trip! Milla, you really paid attention to the things that mattered to us and were so invested in making each day a special adventure. You do your work with love, flexibility, and playfulness. Even though you were working so hard you made it look fun. I think that makes a mast captain. Also, I felt very safe with you. You were careful and thoughtful in your decision making. Elif, you delighted us with such a range of foods. Sitting down to a beautifully prepared table time and again brought our family rest and connection. Thank you for managing the gluten free needs. Thank you for taking on that extra work with good spirit. We will always remember the special brownies that your surprised us with. I hope you both will treasure this year in paradise working alongside each other. We will think of you often and hope that God will bring us together again for another adventure. I hope both of your dreams come true. My blessings to your future.

We just returned home from the best vacation of our lives. My wife, three teenagers, and myself spent 6 perfect nights on Apricity with Mente and Annick. I can’t even begin to tell you how thoughtful and attentive they were to our every need and want. They were thorough but not overbearing at all. Mente kept us safe while teaching my son and I the basics of sailing, mooring, and anchoring the entire trip. He was happy to answer any questions we had about sailing and the boat in particular. Mente was very particular to pick the very best mooring ball or anchorage at each location. I’m sure he could have chosen other locations which would have been easier for him, but he wanted us to have the best experience available. Everything on the boat worked flawlessly because they are maintain as if it were their own. Annick prepared the most splendid meals, snacks, and drinks that you can imagine. Every meal was an absolute masterpiece that kept us wanting for more! They catered to our desired meal times and preferences, and she even made a key lime pie for me on the fly!! It was amazing!! The drinks were incredible and she taught us some new recipes along the way. Our relationship started as a contractual agreement, but we left as friends! If you’re considering an all inclusive trip to the BVI, do NOT pass up this wonderful team. You can thank me later!!

I've been visiting the BVIs periodically since 1999 (at least 10 times). Some of the visits have been in our boat, others in bareboat charters. This was the first time we went for a crewed charter. The decision was made in part because not all in the group had sailing / boating experience and mostly because we wanted to rest and not worry about logistics, provisioning, cooking, reserving moorings, etc. The result...best vacation ever in the BVIs. Perfect combination between a great group of friends, very nice boat, great weather and above all, a superb crew. Annick and Mente made our trip truly memorable. In the food department, every day we woke up to experience a new height in delightful meals, fruit, snacks, desserts, etc. They made sure our favorite drinks were available throughout the week + we got to try some of Annicks and Mente's delightful concoctions. On the cruising department, we felt very safe throughout the trip, testament to the crew's experience, judgement calls and professionalism. They got us to popular sites at times when these were not crowded and got us to less visited yet beautiful sites at peak times. They also kept the boat clean and in excellent working order. This is as far as I can go with words. Go ahead and book your trip. Life is short, enjoy!

Having returned from a week aboard Apricity in the BVIs, we are frequently asked "what was your favorite part"? Our response's have been consistent - Mente and Annick made this trip exceptional! The BVIs are wonderful, but having their experience, expertise, and positive attitude was wonderful. The food was consistently amazing and they both endeavored to ensure no obstacle would interfere with our celebrations. The two of them worked non-stop to ensure we had the best time on our trip, and truly were the difference between a good vacation and an exceptionally wonderful experience!

-Alicia and Joey



First and foremost, we can’t say enough great things about Mente and Annick - they were fantastic. From the moment we met them at the ferry until the last day when they walked us to the ferry; they were awesome. They made our charter what it was - great.

They both are extremely skilled. We felt like we knew them for years; they were courteous, kind, humorous and simply fun to be around. We were spoiled by them daily and they made all of us feel welcome and at ease.

Having spent most of my life on boats, I was impressed daily with Mente’s seamanship skills; he taught me something new almost every day. One would have not known that they were new to the Charter business had we not asked. Annick is a skilled boater as well yet her forte was her cooking. We never had a bad meal and were impressed daily with not only her presentation but the amount of work and thought that went into most of the meals; impressive.

I could go on about them but you probably already know this since you hired them. Challenge them with increasing responsibility as I am confident they will not disappoint.

You have a dynamic crew with Mente and Annick - we can’t wait to see them again.

A week with the best

​Mente & Annick - my family and I know this is see ya later not goodbye. We have made friends and memories that will last a lifetime! From the food to the boating knowledge nothing has gone for want!

​Annick was fantastic, food was even better, and the attention given to my kids . . . the best!! She always met any want or need with a warm cheery smile! She curtailed her weeklong menu to meet our rather "plain" diet and managed to make even our simple food beautiful and delicious, she truly has a server’s heart! From wonderful chats to delicious food, she always goes above and beyond!

Mente, always eager to answer any and all questions from adults or kids. Always involved doing something. Making drinks (even a kid’s version to make the kids day). Do not miss trying the pina colada, honestly the best I've ever had. Mente's knowledge and willingness to share it is truly remarkable, from great conversation to "intense" card games. There is never a moment he isn't willing to engage! He was so thoughtful he even went very above and beyond to plan an anchorage where we had good cell service for an "important" baseball game we "couldn't miss". To say he is a great captain would be selling him way short!

In closing we are so sad our trip has come to an end but are filled with so much emotion recalling the memories made and there is no doubt that these are memories will be forever etched in our minds. We will see you again sweet friends!

We don't really know where to begin. If we were to summarize our journey with THE best team - Will & Kylie :) Great itinerary planning - Norman, Peter, Salt, Gordon, Leeboy, Guana and Sandy Cay.​

The best food and some super surprising dishes! So diverse, sophisticated and well prepared. Thank you Kylie!

​The best captain in the BVI - you took such a good care of us! From water scooters to masks to dingy rides . . . Also - paddle boards, go pro camera and last but not least - the captain cocktail! - it's the best :)

Apricity will be remembered as an incredible experience in the BVI, one that will get us back sooner than later.

Thank you from all of us. P.S. If you ever come to PR - please keep in touch.

A family sailed on Apricity, in the British Virgin Islands, filled with joy and glee. Father Andy, with daughters Abbey and Bella, Mother Reina, with son Barrett and daughter Quinn, oh what a stellar crew! They embarked on a New Year's trip, exploring the beauty of the ocean, on a catamaran ship. At Foxy's in Jost Van Dyke, the celebrated the night. With laughter and cheer, under the starry light. Snorkeling in Peter Island, they dove deep, discovering the wonders of the sea, in a world so unique. Hiking the Bath in Virgin Gorda, a true natural delight. Captain Will guided them with skill and grace, navigating the waters, at a steady pace. Chef Kylie prepared meals, delicious and healthy, feeding their bodies and souls with flavors so wealthy.

The Apricity sailed, with love and delight, a journey of togetherness, shining so bright.
