CAMILLE Yacht Charter Experience | Luxury Crewed Yacht

the crew

Captain Matthew Burns – Matt hails from Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. As a French West Indian, farming and fishing has been a large part of life since birth. Matt started working on the water at 12, working the decks onboard his cousins’ commercial fishing boat whenever possible. By 16 he was running the deck of the commercial boats alone. He would fill in as the mate for any boat in the fleet as needed just to get out on the water more. At 22 Matt started running day charters in the US and British Virgin Islands. At 25 he moved to Los Angeles, CA and immediately started running larger multi-passenger vessels for fishing and booze cruises. Shortly after, he found his way into Yachting and has now been a Yacht charter captain for 8 years.

Mate Jackson Bowman – Born in Acworth, GA, Jackson grew up playing basketball and baseball, fostering a strong work ethic and team mindset. With a background in hospitality and physical labor, he thrives in hands-on roles and delivering great guest experiences. After a year of backpacking through Southeast Asia, he moved to Florida to pursue a yachting career, combining his love for travel, the outdoors, and life on the water. Dedicated and hardworking! Jackson is passionate about maintaining vessels, assisting guests and ensuring unforgettable experiences at sea.

Chief Stewardess Stevi Gregorios – Stevi is from Long Beach, CA. Growing up a swimmer, she has always been attracted to the ocean. This lead her to the University of Hawaii, where she studied broadcast journalism and swam competitively. She also worked in several client facing roles in the hospitality industry; serving, bartending, and catering for 5 years. Upon her return to California is when her yachting career began. She worked high end charters in Marina Del Rey before diving into a full-time, live aboard position in 2018. Since then, she has had successful seasons in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northeast & the Bahamas.
Being Chief Stewardess has taught her to lead by example, be flexible, and always expect the unexpected! Her competitive drive and passion to please others means she puts her heart into every trip. Whether it be for the new charter guest or the owners who have been onboard countless times, her goal remains the same… to give the guests the best experience possible with memories that will last a lifetime.

Deckhand/Stewardess –Emily Markham – Born and raised in Kennesaw, GA, Emily brings a background in cosmetology, bartending and customer service. After leaving her hairdressing career to backpack through Southeast Asia, she discovered the industry through friends and never looked back. With a passion for hospitality, a keen eye for detail, and a love for fast-paced environments, she thrives on creating exceptional guest experiences. Always eager to challenge herself, she is dedicated to delivering seamless service and unforgettable moments onboard.

Chef Eli Pomerantz – Eli was born and raised in rural foothills of the Appalachian Mountains outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In his youth, he spent all his time outdoors or playing competitive lacrosse and wrestling. He began working in the culinary arts at just 15 while he was still just in 10th grade. His first job was in a fish market outside of Philadelphia where he learned to steam blue crabs and butcher whole fresh fish. After high school, Eli moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University where he studied Mechanical Engineering. To fund this endeavor Eli worked at some of Boston’s top restaurants after class. Upon finishing school, Eli worked in his educational field for just three months before receiving a job offer to run a restaurant in Cape Cod. He never looked back and has since worked as a chef in New York City and Philadelphia. Over the past 6 years Eli has traveled the world as a yacht chef on a variety of vessels. He specializes in cooking different cuisines from across the globe. You may even see him jump in the water with a spear to catch your lunch himself.

From Primary: Our family and I want to thank you for arranging our recent charter on Camille and helping us out on the details. Sending this e mail in hopes that you will also share it with crew and owners.

All in all, the 6 days were fantastic due to both the vessel and the crew. Camille was in excellent shape, and well designed for our family group. It looked good, was well-appointed, and immaculately maintained both initially and throughout out trip. Captain Matt Burns and his team couldn’t have done more for us. He, Martin, Stevi, Rachel and Brianna were more than attentive, and great with our two granddaughters as well. Always friendly, upbeat and cheerful. And Chef Eli was in a class of his own. He planned meals and themes well, improvised when needed due to things like the tastes of our grandchildren. His meals were easily comparable to (or exceeded) the best of the restaurants and clubs we go to. And he has a great ability to purchase the freshest and most tasty groceries, meats, seafood, and produce.

The seadoos and launch were always ready before we needed them. And Captain Matt arranged for top notch anchorage and dock locations.

Our very best, and thanks for all you did in smoothing out the process. Our entire family will have excellent memories of the trip.

From Primary’s Wife: Let me add my comments to my husband’s. This was the best family vacation we ever had. Everybody had a great time. The boat was gorgeous, luxuriously appointed, and perfect for our family. The crew was in a class by itself. Can’t imagine a better crew. Captain Matt kept the boat in pristine condition, and carefully steered us through harbors full of hundreds of other boats. He even went out to get pizza for our grandkids one night. Chef Eli’s food was in a class by itself: superb. One night he cooked a complete Indian dinner for us. Another night he baked a beautiful three-layer birthday cake for our granddaughter. We’re all spoiled now. Don’t know where we’ll ever find cuisine this good. Stevie was the den mother who kept everything together. First-mate Matt piloted the tender boat on sightseeing tours for us, and even helped us try fishing. Brianna was a fun and cheerful addition to the crew. She even created a custom cocktail for our son, Ted, called the “Tedonator.” Rachel completed the team; she was calm and professional, and did a beautiful job of decorating the back deck for our granddaughter’s birthday. All members of this crew knocked themselves out to please us, and we will miss them all. Please convey our comments to the owner of the Camille. Many thanks for putting this unforgettable trip together for us.
