CAPTAIN Derek Carlow & CHEF/HOSTESS Viera Chuda
Derek Carlow Captain
With over two decades of maritime experience and a passion for delivering unforgettable journeys, Derek brings both expertise and heart to every charter.

Before turning his love of sailing into a full-time profession, Derek built a career in the film industry, working behind the camera in fast-paced, high-profile environments. That background sharpened his attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and calm leadership under pressure—qualities that now define his approach at sea.

Note to Broker -
Our week aboard Relentless has been nothing short extraordinary. From the moment we stepped aboard, Orlagh, Haley and Jamison made us feel completely at home. Orlagh's calm leadership, deep knowledge of the BVI and her attention to safety allowed us to relax and fully enjoy every stop on our journey. Haley's warmth and attentiveness made every moment effortless - she anticipated our every need and always did it with a smile. AND Jamison...WOW! Every meal was a masterpiece - thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious!
If we had to choose one word to describe this incredible crew it would be CARE. they care about the details, they care about their craft, and most importantly they care about their guests. This has been a special experience for our family - one we'll never forget.
Thank you ladies for everything!♥️
