Chef & First Mate
Jennifer Coc
Nation: Belize
Born: 1997
TITLE: CAPTAIN
NAME: DWAYNE YOUNG
AGE: 44
NATIONALITY: BELIZEAN
LANGUAGES: ENGLISH, BELIZEAN CREOLE
Captain Dwayne Young was born and raised in the idyllic coastal village of Placencia, Belize. During his formative years, Placencia was a quaint fishing village, largely disconnected from the rest of the country, where fishing was the lifeblood of the community. This traditional way of life fostered a deep connection with the sea, with skills and knowledge passed down through generations.
Dwayne’s journey as a mariner began early, at the age of four, under the guidance of his father, a seasoned fisherman. His father introduced him to the fundamentals of boating, seating young Dwayne on his lap at the helm of their fishing boat, his hands on the wheel, and his father’s hand on the engine throttle. This hands-on experience ignited a lifelong passion for the sea.
The influence of Dwayne’s grandfather was equally pivotal. His grandfather, who had spent his life navigating the waters of Belize on a sailboat, shared mesmerizing tales of his sailing adventures. These stories, rich with the essence of traditional sailing and navigation by natural elements, inspired Dwayne and sparked his dream of working on a sailboat one day. It was through these familial influences that Dwayne’s destiny in yachting was forged.
With a life deeply intertwined with the waters of Belize, Dwayne developed an intrinsic understanding of the sea. In his early days, without the aid of modern technology, he learned to read the signs of nature for guidance—observing tides and currents, interpreting the color of the sky, feeling the wind, tracking the stars, and noting the behaviors of wildlife such as ospreys and hermit crabs.
Dwayne’s professional journey began in 1998 as a tour guide and divemaster, working for both marine and inland companies. His passion and expertise soon led him to join The Moorings as a captain on charter yachts. This role allowed Dwayne to indulge in his love for sailing, explore the stunning islands by day, and enjoy the luxury and comfort of the yacht by night.
Beyond his professional achievements, Dwayne enjoys traveling, spending quality time with his family, and immersing himself in nature. His connection to the water remains unwavering, and he finds great joy in sharing his passion with others. Whether it’s through fishing, sailing, or simply narrating the rich maritime history of Belize, Dwayne’s enthusiasm is infectious.
Captain Dwayne Young embodies the spirit of Belizean yachting, with a wealth of experience and generations of local knowledge. His leadership and dedication ensure an unparalleled charter experience, making each voyage a memorable adventure.

Amazing Luxury Yacht Vacation
We chartered the luxury yacht “Second Star” for an unforgettable one-of-a-kind vacation to celebrate a milestone birthday. The captain and chef were both amazing. Every meal was spectacular, and the yacht was so comfortable and beautifully decorated! We loved all the personal touches throughout our vacation. The Chef took our likes and dislikes into account for every meal and went above and beyond to anticipate our desires! We had such a great time we have already scheduled for next year! Highly recommend!

Guest Reviews
Amazing Luxury Yacht Vacation
We chartered the luxury yacht “Second Star” for an unforgettable one-of-a-kind vacation to celebrate a milestone birthday. The captain and chef were both amazing. Every meal was spectacular, and the yacht was so comfortable and beautifully decorated! We loved all the personal touches throughout our vacation. The Chef took our likes and dislikes into account for every meal and went above and beyond to anticipate our desires! We had such a great time we have already scheduled for next year! Highly recommend!
Heartfelt Thanks for the Incredible Catamaran Trip in Placencia, Belize
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the amazing catamaran trip my family and I experienced recently.
It was an unforgettable journey filled with breathtaking views, soothing waves, and memories that will last a lifetime. Captain Dwyane’s expertise and professionalism were evident from the moment we stepped aboard. His attention to safety, combined with your passion for providing exceptional experiences, truly made our trip remarkable.
We were impressed by the knowledge and friendliness of the crew.
The hospitality & culinary skills of chef Jennifer were outstanding her willingness to accommodate our needs made us feel welcomed and at ease throughout the journey.
The catamaran itself was a marvel of engineering and comfort. The smooth sailing and spacious deck allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of the voyage.
Thank you for creating such a magical experience for us. It's not every day that we get to explore the open seas in such style and comfort.
We will cherish the memories of our catamaran trip forever.
We look forward to the opportunity to sail with you again in the future and will enthusiastically recommend your services to anyone seeking a remarkable seafaring adventure.
Warm regards, Erin Strong & Family
