Crew Profiles: Brit Robinson
Captain
Captain Brit has been with ARMS REACH for seven years. Born and raised in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, he spent most of his life around the beaches of the Atlantic and his family was involved with commercial fishing. He says his greatest memories as a teenager were going out on a 13’ flat bottom boat to go ‘clamming’ everyday after school with his best friend…his dog! He knew then that he would grow up and do something with boats. He has worked on other private yachts over the years including SEA EAGLE for two years and DYNAMIC DUO for eight years. Captain Brit holds a USCG 1600 ton Oceans Master License. Since Brit has been involved with other businesses such as managing a marine supply store and owning an Internet Coffee House, Brit has plenty of amusing stories to tell while sitting back and spending the day fishing, his favorite pastime. He is looking forward to showing off his Southern hospitality to the charter guests on ARMS REACH.
Daniel Toro
First Mate
Daniel Toro has recently moved from Deckhand/Steward position to First Mate on ARMS REACH. Captain Brit and crew are very proud of his hard work and ‘can do’ attitude that helped raise him up in rank. Born and raised in Medellín, Colombia, Daniel moved to South Florida at a young age and spent most of his days at the beach. He served four years in the U.S. Coast Guard and was a first responder in New Orleans, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. Daniel’s good friend, who works in the industry, suggested to him that yachting would be a good job for him with his background; thus he had no reservations to accept the position on ARMS REACH. He holds a USCG 100 ton Oceans Master license. You can find Daniel fishing or diving in his spare time.
Anthony Sexon Engineer
Anthony Sexon, engineer, was born in Cleveland Ohio and moved to South Florida at a very young age. He grew up loving the outdoors, fishing and water sports. He has been a general contractor/business owner for 12 years and working part-time on Sport Fishing boats all over the east coast. After working during Hurricane Katrina rebuilding he realized it was time to work on boats full time. He now holds his MCA approved engineers’ license and USCG 100 ton Master License. Anthony's outgoing and friendly nature always makes everyone ready for the next good story.
Joseph Henningsen
Chef
A lifelong interest in cooking led Joseph Henningsen to culinary school at the Belvoir School of Cookery in Zurich, Switzerland. Upon graduation, he apprenticed in restaurants around Switzerland, specializing in the Ticenese cookery.
After returning to the United States, Henningsen worked in numerous restaurants in Colorado, Wisconsin and the Napa Valley. Henningsen enjoys working with wild game and fresh seafood. In the past, he has created several wild-game, multi-course menus as well as seafood celebrations in different restaurants across the United States. He also participated in a culinary contest sponsored by Cervena Venison of New Zealand, where he took third place.
Someday, Henningsen would enjoy owning his own restaurant, where he can be creative and develop recipes using ingredients from around the world to tease his clients. He is now enjoying his 10th year in the yachting industry.
Jamaica Dolinsky Second Stewardess/Massage Therapist
Jamaica was born Middleberry, VT and spent her life growing up on the sunny beaches of Naples, Fl and Kennebunkport, ME. Her love of the ocean made her want to pursue a career on yachts. After working as a massage therapist for over four years in South Florida she was introduced to a crew agency, Hands On Crew, that places massage therapists & yoga instructors on yachts. Her extensive service experience, great attitude, and welcoming nature have been a great addition to the Arms Reach Crew. Her passion for massage and helping others will be a great benefit for any charter guest.
