Ever sail along the Sir Frances Drake Channel & see someone in an inflatable dinghy trying to get right smack in front of you? Chances are that's one of the Yacht Shots shooters. Don't worry, you won't hit us. We're professional yacht photographers.
With a longtime love of sailing & a new discovery of photography, Guy created Yacht Shots in 1995, getting the one shot sailors could never get themselves. In the beginning, he photographed boats entering the North Sound, Virgin Gorda with film; hand developed it & delivered prints to boaters personally before they left the next day.

With the overwhelming workload and ever increasing number of vessels in the British Virgin Islands, he gladly teamed up with newcomer Brynley Argast in 2000 and taught her everything he knew about driving a boat while shooting at the same time. It wasn't long after she was spotted bobbing up & down in the dinghy, half way out to Anegada.

Over time, personal events led them both off the secluded island & a new game plan emerged: Photograph boats coming out of Norman Island & they can see the photos when they arrive in North Sound.
In December 2006, the Nanny Cay team expanded with Gemma Salaman from the UK. In November 2008, Charlene Massac from New York joined the Virgin Gorda operation to help sailors find their photos when they reached the North Sound. And our newest shooter, David Coulas, hails from Mississauga, Canada. Keep an eye out for him on the water near Norman & Peter Island this fall. |

Weather permitting (with at least 11 kts of wind and a drop of Sunshine) one can find Yacht Shots snapping away near Norman & Peter Island daily from 8:30-11:45am (November- August). Have at least two sails up and head upwind for the best chance of being photographed. Power boaters- if you're interested in photographs give us a call the day before hand, so that we can keep an eye out for you- or if you spot us out on the water- drive straight for us and wave.
Guy is now back up in Virgin Gorda & we’re expecting another photographer to join him this fall. Come mid-November, they’ll be shooting both yachts & watersports activities in the North Sound daily. |
