Crew Profiles

Captain Stephen Fallon - Stephen’s first encounter with yachts was 26 years ago. The opportunity to deliver a 100-foot yacht from Chicago to Antigua, with a family friend who is also a yacht Captain. This trip encompassed the Great Lakes, Welland and Erie Canals, Hudson River and Atlantic Ocean. The ever-changing scenery and diverse work load, was an immediate attraction. After a few years as Deckhand, Mate, it was clear this could become a career. Stephen has cruised extensively all along the East Coast of the United States, from Halifax Canada to the Florida Keys, including 3 visits to Bermuda. A good portion of Stephen’s experience is doing charter work in the Caribbean, BVI USVI, and the Bahamas. An opportunity to build a 142’ Christensen over 2 years, has afforded Stephen cruising experience from Washington State thru California and beyond into the Baja Peninsula of Mexico

After the summer season she drove to Florida got her first permanent job and never looked back. Jennifer has traveled and chartered extensively throughout New England, Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mexico. She looks forward to sharing her experience with charter clients aboard M/Y Temptation.

First Mate Paul Schiller - Having owned a small sailboat for some years on Florida’s Central-East Coast and Intercostal waterway, Paul always had the desire to be on the water but didn’t always have the time. In late 2019 he left an executive job in the wide-format digital print industry to pursue new ventures. This was immediately followed by a global pandemic, which afforded him the time and opportunity to discover a new career path. He quickly acquired a captains license and began running deliveries. Paul’s first delivery job was bringing a 100’ Broward yacht down from East Hampton to Southern Florida. It was a great way to see the eastern seaboard and most of the Intercoastal from north to south. He continues to gain knowledge and experience as well as many great friendships in the yachting industry.

Stewardess/Deckhand Emery Wallerich - Originally from Seattle, WA, Emery went off to college to play soccer at Oregon State University while getting her major in Digital Communications. A week after she graduated, she caught wind of the elusive yachting industry and immediately got her courses. On her first yacht job she traveled into the West Coast of Canada. Seeing pods of orcas, humpback whales, and the beautiful scenery Canada has to offer, Emery was hooked. Her passion for the ocean, travel, and meeting new people fueled the love she has for her job.
