For over 40 years, Captain Phillmore has been a BVI legend—a mentor at Sunsail and The Moorings and a "General" on our waters. He’s spent his life ensuring we all navigate safely. Now, he’s in the fight of his life to keep his sight.

The Mission:

Captain Phillmore is battling aggressive Glaucoma and advanced Cataracts. We have secured a world-class specialist in the UK for urgent surgery this April.

To be clear: This surgery isn't about perfect 20/20 vision; it is a critical "rescue mission" to save the little sight he has left. Without this, he loses his independence and his life on the water.

The Plan:

We urgently need to get the Captain to the UK for several months of treatment and recovery.

Your donations cover:

• Specialized Surgery (Costs insurance won't touch)

• Travel & Housing (Months of recovery in the UK)

• Medical Aftercare

Help the Captain Stay on Board!

Phillmore is the heart of our village—the man who catches one fish and shares half. Whether you’ve sailed with him, learned from him, or just know his kindness, it’s time to rally.

Let’s get our Captain the help he needs so he can stay on his boat for years to come.

All donations are being transferred directly to Captain Phillmore’s niece in the UK, as this is where his treatment will be undertaken. As his primary caretaker during his surgery and recovery, his niece Jessica will manage all donations to ensure every penny goes exclusively toward his medical needs and wellbeing.
