Captain Seth & Chef/Mate Danielle
Captain Seth traded the fast-paced life of New York City for the freedom of the open sea, finding his true calling in the waters of the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. His sailing journey began with catamaran deliveries and snorkeling adventures, eventually leading him to extensive time aboard Destiny III with renowned sailor Captain Dave Calvert.
In June 2023, Seth and his crew embarked on an epic 6,000-mile voyage, delivering a friend’s catamaran from North Carolina across the Atlantic to Gibraltar, then onward through the Mediterranean to Türkiye. Along the way, they often reeled in fresh Mahi and Tuna, refining Seth’s passion not just for the ocean, but for providing guests with incredible fresh seafood—both caught and prepared to perfection. Now, as the full-time captain of Destiny III, he brings adventure, expertise, and an eye for unforgettable experiences on every charter.
Chef Danielle was born and raised in the Florida Keys, where island life and the sea shaped her love for fresh, vibrant cuisine. Growing up in the kitchen alongside her mother—who ran a premier wedding catering business in Islamorada—Danielle developed a passion for gourmet cooking and exceptional hospitality.
Carving her own path, she successfully launched and sold a wedding planning business, as well as other ventures in fashion. Her extensive travels around the world further refined her culinary style, inspiring a fusion of global flavors with the fresh, local ingredients of the Bahamas.
Now aboard Destiny III, Danielle blends her expertise in hospitality and cuisine to craft unforgettable dining experiences. From just-caught seafood to beautifully plated gourmet meals, her dishes celebrate the flavors of the islands with creativity and finesse. Whether it’s a beachside picnic, a sunset dinner, or a casual lunch between snorkeling and fishing excursions, Danielle ensures every meal is as memorable as the adventure itself.
