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.
Denise Dobbs - Chief Stewardess
Denise was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She was
introduced to the yachting industry after graduating from the
Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale with a Degree in Commercial Photography.
She worked for one Winter in the Virgin Islands and was hooked.
Now ten years have passed and she has enjoyed all of her adventures
around the world as a Mate, Chef, and Stewardess. Other yachts
that she has worked on include 126’ KAORI, and 112’
SIETE. Denise comes with two big attributes - she is a licensed
Massage Therapist and Certified Advanced Scuba Diver. With her
creativity, energy, and great relationship with the Chef, Denise
is the perfect compliment to the crew of ARMS REACH and ready
to ‘wow’ the charter guests. She has been with the
boat and Captain Brit since the boat launched over three years
ago.
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.
