THE
CAPTAIN
Captain Caleb Zuill was
born and raised in the Islands of Bermuda.
His family has been a part of Bermudian culture
since the very early 1700’s, with the first
mention of a Captain
Robert Zuill in 1713.
From that time on, the Zuill
name has been synonymous in Bermuda
with shipbuilding
and ocean voyaging.
Caleb carries on his family heritage today as a fully
qualified charter sailing captain.
As well as being a sailing captain,
Caleb is a firefighter
and E.M.T. (Emergency
Medical Technician). His shift schedule, however,
allows him plenty of time to engage in his first passion
– Sailing. Caleb
has been sailing Bermuda’s waters since the
age of eight, learning to sail in small “enterprise”
vessels. He later graduated to larger craft, working
in the summer on a 40 foot
yacht with his father (also Robert), a charter
sailing captain as well. Caleb learned much about
chartering and handling larger yachts from his Dad,
who still sails today under a pirate
flag (just kidding!). Soon after that, Caleb
moved on to skipper
a local 53ft Sail Catamaran,
but the desire to
be captain of his
own vessel began to grow.
He purchased Shekynah in the early Summer of 2001,
and has been chartering
her locally ever since.
Caleb plans to eventually sail Shekynah around the
world.
