Born and raised on South Africa’s Western Cape coast, I seamlessly turned a lifelong love for the ocean into a professional yachting career. After gaining my captain’s qualifications and working extensively as a bosun and delivery skipper, I entered the charter industry with my partner, Lida. As an accomplished Dive Master and all-around water sports enthusiast for surfing, kitesurfing, and wakeboarding, I love sharing my passion for the water with others. Whether navigating open seas, leading watersports, or ensuring every detail of your stay is taken care of, my focus is on delivering a seamless, stress-free charter. Lida and I can’t wait to welcome you aboard!

My journey into yachting grew from a deep love for hospitality and great food in South Africa. With professional fine dining training at the Ashburton School and 7 years of experience in the luxury yachting industry with captain Chris I love combining rich experiences with a personal touch—sourcing quality, locally grown ingredients to deliver creative, delicious, and beautifully plated dishes. Whether catering to specific dietary needs or crafting a custom menu, I loves making guests feel completely at home while creating culinary moments that remain memorable for a lifetime.

My love for the ocean started early, growing up on the water in Kraalbaai and Langebaan, South Africa. That early start running watersports and guiding guests on the bay sparked a lifelong passion for marine life, seamanship, and hospitality—and I’ve been sharing that love for the water ever since! As a qualified Divemaster, my favorite part of the job is taking guests underwater. Whether you’re an experienced diver ready to explore vibrant reefs or a first-timer trying out snorkeling or watersports for the very first time, I’m here to make sure you feel completely safe, relaxed, and confident. Having been close friends with Captain Chris and Chef Lida for many years, our team operates like a well-oiled machine. We share a deep trust, a easy natural dynamic, and a mutual commitment to making your time on board warm, welcoming, and truly unforgettable. I can’t wait to show you my favorite spots, get you out on the water, and welcome you to your ultimate getaway!
