<b>Chef/First Mate Zara Browne</b>
Zara was born in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Long Island at a young age where she found her love of the water. She spent her weekends sailing with her Dad and exploring the North Fork of Long Island. When she wasn’t enjoying the outdoors she spent her down time at her family’s restaurant in Hoboken, NJ where her love of fresh quality food began.
Her professional background has always been in the restaurant industry and hospitality. She has over 15 years of bartending experience and another 5 years in luxury concierge services working closely with high profile NYC restaurants, planning extravagant events, and running private spas and gyms.
When Zara felt she wanted a change of pace she decided what better way to bring her love of hospitality and the water together than joining the yachting industry. She has been lucky enough to work under multiple yacht chefs where she has been able to add a new layer of knowledge to her personal culinary experience.
Zara has always had a passion for bringing a memorable experience to her guests and looks forward to helping form unforgettable memories aboard Ocelot through food, cocktails, and the ambiance of the islands.

<b> Captain Arlene Mangold</b>
Fate, or perhaps favorable winds, brought Arlene and Jason together in the Sea of Cortez. Both share a deep love for sailing, preferring the quiet power of the wind to the rumble of engines whenever possible.
Without any prior experience, Arlene captained a 47ft ketch, earning her experience the hard way. Her first voyage was helping deliver a motor yacht from Mexico to Washington. This dreaded passage is called the baja bash, it is a difficult journey against wind, waves, and current. When she returned to Mexico she cruised for 3 years with her son on her sailboat. This took her from Mexico to Key West via the Panama Canal.
She conquered the dreaded Papagayo Winds, which blow with hurricane force, cruised 400 miles off shore, and visited amazing local towns along the way. During the Panama Canal transit her boat suffered mechanical problems she had to overcome. Using local knowledge she then sailed from Panama to Key West, taking advantage of favorable currents and winds to arrive in only 7 days.
Arlene's deep love for the ocean extends beyond the surface. Her dive computer boasts over 800 dives, encompassing wrecks, caves, the thrill of night dives, and the captivating world of underwater photography. A true water enthusiast, she embraces every aspect the ocean offers, from diving and snorkeling to fishing, exploring hidden coves, and savoring local culinary delights.
