Hazel Ochoa-Captain
Jacolet Van Eeden-Chef

Born in the vibrant city of Medellin, Colombia, Hazel’s life took a tropical twist when his family moved to the serene coastal town of Capurgana. With the Caribbean waves lapping at his doorstep, Hazel’s love for the ocean grew as he freedived, spearfished, and hung out with local fishermen like it was his jobβ€”which, eventually, it became!

Hazel dabbled in statistics at university, but when life threw a curveball, he returned to his seaside roots, ready to chart a new courseβ€”this time on the ocean itself. Local day charters became his launchpad, and after saving every penny he made, he jumped aboard a passing sailboat, leaving Colombia behind for Panama and the wide, wide world.

Panama offered Hazel his first taste of professional yachting, from boatyard grunt work to deckhand and chef duties. Soon enough, he earned his 200T Captain’s license in Panamaβ€”right before COVID hit. When the world paused, Hazel didn’t: instead, he joined Sea Shepherd, where he protected marine life, did scientific research, and learned to fix anything that needed fixing on a boat.

After three action-packed years of eco-adventures, Hazel returned to the Caribbean, diving into the charter world and fine-tuning his skills as a captain. And then, destiny calledβ€”he met Chef Yah Yah. The two bonded over their meticulous nature and passion for hard work. Soon, they were not only crewmates but travel buddies, visiting 12 countries in pursuit of their Yacht Master and Dive Master certifications. Now, they’re a dynamic duo on the high seas, living their ocean dream!

Hailing from a self-sustaining farm in the breathtaking Cape Town region of South Africa, Chef Yah Yah didn’t just learn how to cookβ€”she was practically born with a wooden spoon in her hand! Under the watchful eye of her nanny, Yah Yah mastered the kitchen, making everything from cheese to preserves, pickles to baked goods. By age six, she was selling her creations at the local farmers market like a pro.

With a family farm bordering the ocean, Yah Yah’s culinary passions expanded beyond the kitchen. Days were spent foraging for seafood along the coast and cooking her fresh catch over a beachside fireβ€”a true farm-to-table experience! Her natural talent and love for crafting meals from scratch make her a force in the kitchen, while her adventurous spirit matches the thrill of life on the water.

From her humble beginnings to traveling the world with Captain Hazel, Yah Yah is always up for a challenge. Together, they’ve set sail on new horizons, ready to welcome guests aboard with mouthwatering dishes and unforgettable stories. Whether it’s a perfectly seared catch of the day or homemade pastries, Chef Yah Yah ensures every meal is an adventure of its own!

Dear Hazel & Yah Yah,

Thank you so much for the most amazing week in the BVI’s. Our family had the BEST time! We would love to host you if you ever come to New Orleans!

The food was amazing!! We can’t wait to buy your cookbook β€” we will still lick the plates. Thank you so much for carefully curating our itinerary and getting us to all the best spots!!

Being on ScubaDoo was the perfect way to usher in the New Year. I can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us if this is how it starts.

Hazel was so patient with us while scuba diving and so kind to pull everyone in on the dinghy.

We so appreciate your amazing hospitality and all your kindness

Lots of love,

Julie, Lance, Jake, Caitlin & Charlotte

You guys made this ship feel like home, and I couldn’t have imagined a better crew!! Y’all are the best bartenders, DJs, divemasters, guides, and multitaskers.

Yah Yah,
Huge thanks for an unforgettable week on ScubaDoo! We’re still drooling about the insanely creative and delicious dishes, as well as those next-level tablescapes (seriously Hazel, how did you do it?!).

The food wasn’t just meals β€” it was part of the adventure. Extra thanks for listening to all of Dad’s stories to keep him entertained… and all of us fat and happy!!

To Hazel, we greatly appreciate your determination for finding us the perfect spots, best adventures, coolest bartender, dinghy tubing, and wakeboarding master. You are a great captain and we appreciate you allowing the guys to help and keeping Danzi entertained.

AND let’s not forget the amazing tablescapes… honestly overachieving in the best way possible!

Hazel & Yah Yah,

Words cannot describe what an amazing trip this was on the ScubaDoo with the both of you. Every day was special because of you. We will always cherish Anegada.

Thank you for joining our family and putting such love and thoughtfulness into every meal, drink, place setting, love β€” and most of all that natural loving energy that comes from you both.

We know we are an β€œinteresting bunch”. Thanks for accepting that and going with it. Especially Michael β€” he will miss the bed ferries, food, sails, beautiful views.

But when we talk about this trip, meeting the two of you will be the number one hardest thing to walk away from.

We will be back and already planning on the next ScubaDoo adventure. Hopefully we see y’all before then.

So much love

Lauren, Kim, Jennifer, Will, Sabrina & Michael

P.S. Hazel’s neutral current really is incredible!

SCUBA DOO

Hazel and YaYa were fantastic. Hazel’s skippering ability, combined with the boats equipment, let us do more things than I have done previously. He also accompanied us on land tours (the Baths) and gave us a personal tour. YaYa is a great chef/host. Her cooking is amazing – the best I’ve ever had on a charter like this. Her passion and talent for cooking really came through. Hazel and YaYa were equally good making drinks. They have a lot of energy and really interacted with my family. We had a lot of fun with them!

This trip didn’t disappoint! You two were a delight. Hazel, the care you took of us was beyond – you vanished my dive anxiety by your calm and peacefulness.

Please look us up when you’re in Los Angeles – we would love to see you.

Thanks again!

I don’t have the words to express how wonderful and amazing this trip was. You both go above and beyond all!

Hazel, thanks for β€˜babysitting’ me on our dives – I would have missed out on so much.

Yah Yah, the food was incredible – over-the-top wonderful!

The bartender did a spectacular job as well!

We thank you for a personal experience. And… we hope to see you again soon!
