Meet the Captain
Captain ‘Ret’
Captain Robert E. Tilley, ‘Ret,’ grew up sailing with his parents and sister on a 26-foot Pearson sailboat named ‘Ambiance’ throughout the late 70s and 80s. His parents, teachers with summers off, spent many weeks sailing from Narragansett Bay, RI, to Salem Harbor, MA, and all the islands in between. He learned to sail using a compass, charts, and a depth sounder, the only electronic navigation instruments on the boat. He would read the Eldridge Tide Book during long journeys and practice knot tying. These fortunate experiences cultivated his passion for the ocean, a love he now enjoys sharing with others aboard the Sara Rose.
Ret graduated from the University of Massachusetts – Lowell in 1992. Following that, he worked as an engineer, including 17 years with the Department of the Navy, providing direct support to the U.S. Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet.
For the past 25 years, Ret has been cruising and fishing the waters from Maine to Rhode Island. Additionally, he has captained various vessels, both power and sail, from Florida to Maine and the Caribbean.
