Captain
Javier Gorbea
Nation: USA
Born: 1959
License: USCG STCW
Languages: English
Spanish
Chef/Mate
Elizabeth Hoffman
Nation: USA
Captain Javier was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Lucky enough to be part of a big family who loved the water he spent his summers exploring every corner of the U.S., Spanish, and British Virgin Islands. Sailing, boating, and snorkeling together are the wonderful experiences that drew him to the water, and he loves sharing those secret spots with guests.
This active lifestyle gave way to a love for surfing, participating in local competitions and traveling abroad representing Puerto Rico. Windsurfing was a natural progression, as was his love of stand up paddle boarding and kitesurfing.
After spending many years enjoying his hobbies on the water, but working as a Sales Executive, Francisco decided to make the change and received his commercial captains license. He began with boat deliveries out of Puerto Rico for multiple companies. Francisco sailed up and down the coast of Puerto Rico, even helping after the devastating hurricanes of 2017. Exploring the waters he grew up sailing on, in this new way gave him a fresh perspective and he knew it was time to truly share his passion with guests.
Sailing on Tres Sueños is a culmination of all the rich experiences Francisco has had. Combining his wide knowledge of the entire Virgin Island chain, his love and experience sailing, and his incredible ability to instruct and encourage watersports from foiling to stand up paddle boards and beyond he is truly the captain to make a charter go from great to amazing.
Chef Elizabeth Hoffman
"I've travelled the States, Now I'm ready to Serve as I explore the World"
Growing up Bi Coastal, San Diego to Charlotte and everywhere in-between, Elizabeth has lived a rather nomadic lifestyle as a military brat. Early on she embraced her passion for travel and adventure while taking note of all of the diverse cultural flavors from coast to coast. From sky diving at Camp Pendleton to deep sea fishing in the Bahamas and delivering sailboats all around the eastern seaboard & Caribbean, Elizabeth has long considered the islands as home. Her passion for food & flavor made from the freshest ingredients possible allows her to create a variety of geographical dishes. From farm and sea-to-table she encompasses all aspects of what the land & sea has to offer.

We recently spent 8 days aboard a catamaran in the BVI's with Elise as our chef. Her food was wonderful and a big part of our successful vacation. We were all so happy to come back from our morning snorkel to find breakfast ready, or a beautiful fruit and cheese plate (and chilled wine!) after our afternoon adventures. I especially enjoyed her salmon, pineapple "stuffing", and pineapple/oreo bars. In addition to making delicious food, Elise was very personable and an enjoyable member of the group! We still miss her!

Hi Elise, I just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated all you did for us on the boat. The meals were absolutely delicious! We’ve been inspired by you to cook more for our boys. My husband just went to the grocery store a few minutes ago and doing a version of your chicken. You worked tirelessly each day and it didn’t go unnoticed. I hope you’ve gotten some rest today. Thank you again for everything!

Dear Elise,
I think about our adventures daily and get lost in daydreaming about the sensory overload! The beautiful surroundings, the gorgeous sunsets, the fabulous accommodations, the laughter with great friends and YOU! From the time we set sail to the end of the trip, you made our trip special and most fondly memorable.
You worked tirelessly to make sure that all of our meals were five star quality. You made preparing meals for ten people look easy and each one was made with attention to detail. Not only did they all taste delicious, they were presented beautifully! My favorite evening on the boat was the murder mystery!! It was so fun and you worked so hard to make it even more memorable with all of the different courses you prepared! Through the entire trip you were so pleasant and accommodating to our every need. You made us feel comfortable, pampered and just easy to be around. Your knowledge about sailing and all of our destinations added even more to our fabulous holiday! Many thanks for everything you did to make our Sea Esta sail one of the best vacations we have ever had! Hopefully, we will have the great privilege to see you, again!
Sincerely,
Karen & Brian

March 2021
This Crew is a 10 out of 10! Javier is so kind and considered. I love his knowledge of his boat and the ease at which he navigate and his willingness to take us anywhere. (Via boat , dinghy, paddle boarding?) The best is when we went after the beaching humpback whales.
Elizabeth works hard to make sure we are well fed and then some! Her food is delicious and catered to your specific needs/wants
Troy has been amazing with teaching us all hw to e foil- what a blast that is some of us are more graceful than others!
We have enjoyed their stories and sharing our lives. We all come from such different backgrounds and it is wonderful to see our stories converge and learn new things about the world.
We are so glad we made the trip!

My favorite parts were catching and eating fish, finding sunken treasures(sunglasses, towels, knives and conch shells) finding sea shells and playing in the water. Over all it was so awesome.

Hi Elise, I just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated all you did for us on the boat. The meals were absolutely delicious! We’ve been inspired by you to cook more for our boys. My husband just went to the grocery store a few minutes ago and doing a version of your chicken. You worked tirelessly each day and it didn’t go unnoticed. I hope you’ve gotten some rest today. Thank you again for everything!

Dear Elise,
I think about our adventures daily and get lost in daydreaming about the sensory overload! The beautiful surroundings, the gorgeous sunsets, the fabulous accommodations, the laughter with great friends and YOU! From the time we set sail to the end of the trip, you made our trip special and most fondly memorable.
You worked tirelessly to make sure that all of our meals were five star quality. You made preparing meals for ten people look easy and each one was made with attention to detail. Not only did they all taste delicious, they were presented beautifully! My favorite evening on the boat was the murder mystery!! It was so fun and you worked so hard to make it even more memorable with all of the different courses you prepared! Through the entire trip you were so pleasant and accommodating to our every need. You made us feel comfortable, pampered and just easy to be around. Your knowledge about sailing and all of our destinations added even more to our fabulous holiday! Many thanks for everything you did to make our Sea Esta sail one of the best vacations we have ever had! Hopefully, we will have the great privilege to see you, again!
Sincerely,
Karen & Brian

This Crew is a 10 out of 10! Javier is so kind and considered. I love his knowledge of his boat and the ease at which he navigate and his willingness to take us anywhere. (Via boat , dinghy, paddle boarding?) The best is when we went after the beaching humpback whales.
Elizabeth works hard to make sure we are well fed and then some! Her food is delicious and catered to your specific needs/wants
Troy has been amazing with teaching us all hw to e foil- what a blast that is some of us are more graceful than others!
We have enjoyed their stories and sharing our lives. We all come from such different backgrounds and it is wonderful to see our stories converge and learn new things about the world.
We are so glad we made the trip!

My favorite parts were catching and eating fish, finding sunken treasures(sunglasses, towels, knives and conch shells) finding sea shells and playing in the water. Over all it was so awesome.

The best part of the trip was learning to ride the E-foils. You really got to see the coast line. The fishing and food was amazing.
