Skip King, President:

Skip transplanted to the Virgin Islands from Norfolk VA in 1977. He is a graduate of Matthew Fontaine Maury High School and Old Dominion University in Norfolk VA. Skip holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology. Prior to his work in the marine industry Skip was an activities therapist for a private psychiatric hospital. The skills Skip acquired in this field contribute greatly to his work aboard our yachts and his dealings with the many personalities of our charter guests. Always the southern gentleman, Skip has a unique, genuine approach with each guest and his love of boats and sailing is infectious. He is an avid sailboat racer, having won two Rolex Regattas, and an avid tennis player.

Andrea King, Vice President/Secretary

Andrea moved to the Virgin Islands in January 1985. She is a native of Attleboro MA and a graduate of Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro and Westfield State College in Westfield MA where she was a starting guard for the WSC fighting Owls women’s basketball team.

Andrea started her career with IYC in 1989 after hurricane Hugo hit the island and the power was knocked out for nearly three months. Her work with Skip, picking up the pieces after the storm, was to be temporary until television was back online, however, a career change was imminent and Andrea began her full-time career with IYC. Andrea is a proud homeschool Mom, an Equestrian, sailor, basketball player & mountain biker.
