Zara was born in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Long Island at a young age where she found her love of the water. She spent her weekends sailing with her Dad and exploring the North Fork of Long Island. When she wasn’t enjoying the outdoors she spent her down time at her family’s restaurant in Hoboken, NJ where her love of fresh quality food began.
Her professional background has always been in the restaurant industry and hospitality. She has over 15 years of bartending experience and another 5 years in luxury concierge services working closely with high profile NYC restaurants, planning extravagant events, and running private spas and gyms.
When Zara felt she wanted a change of pace she decided what better way to bring her love of hospitality and the water together than joining the yachting industry. She has been lucky enough to work under multiple yacht chefs where she has been able to add a new layer of knowledge to her personal culinary experience.
Zara has always had a passion for bringing a memorable experience to her guests and looks forward to helping form unforgettable memories aboard Evenstar through food, cocktails, and the ambiance of the islands.

Zara and Tim,
Thank you for allowing us to be your first Ladies Only Boat! When you can keep eight ladies happy for five nights you are obviously special people. Every meal was better than the next time and we knew it was gonna be a fun time and we walked onto the boat to a bottle of Veuve! Not only did you never judge us but you always helped us take whatever idea we had (neon parties, Pirate night) to the next level. You made the birthday girl feel so special while also catering the trip of a lifetime for everyone on board. We will think of you every time we have hood rat ratchet hour! Let me ride that dinghy dinghy!!
