Crew Information
Captain: Luke
Your Skipper: Luke
Luke was born in Johannesburg but grew up in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The lifestyle that a small city offers allowed him to fully participate in schooling activities, club sports and the time to maximise all that life by the ocean has to offer. Luke has always been an outdoors person since he can remember, enjoying the raw beauty nature has to offer which is all around us. He believes this is where his passion for yachting stems from and satisfaction he gets from being your Captain.
His captaining experience since his first catamaran navigating the entire Croatian coastline to more recently crossing the Atlantic Ocean from South Africa to the Caribbean, has indeed taught him many valuable lessons and allowed him to develop a high level of responsibility.
Luke defines himself as energetic, helpful, persistent, hardworking, and possesses a strong willingness to learn. Not only this, but Luke’s determined to provide an unforgettable charter experience.
Luke’s motto: “Life is an adventure, and creating great experiences for people is what makes it that way!”

She draws inspiration for her dishes from her travels around the Caribbean islands, techniques learned during professional culinary training in New Orleans, as well as her passion for unique flavour profiles from all around the world. She is currently taking a nutritional therapy course, and loves to utilise this knowledge to create balanced meals, practice healthy living, and share tips with her guests.

Captain Rolf
Meet Rolf, a Viking at heart from the stunning fjords of Norway. With an undying love for sailing, he's dedicated to sharing the thrill of the open sea with others. Nothing brings Rolf more joy than seeing the excitement on someone's face as they raise their first sail. After a day of adventure, he savors dropping anchor in a peaceful bay, enjoying a feast prepared by the onboard chef.
Rolf's journey with the sea began racing dinghies along Norway's coastline. His talent led him to international competitions and coaching at just 15. Now, as a Captain, he's tackled daring voyages, including crossing the Atlantic.
With over 15,000 miles of experience and extensive navigation skills, he has become adept at handling vessels and ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers. Rolf possesses a knack for problem-solving, qualities that have proven invaluable in his role as a captain.
In addition to his sailing endeavours, Rolf has also worked in the Adriatic Sea, gaining valuable experience in crew management, vessel maintenance, and delivering exceptional customer service. Sailing isn't merely a profession for him; it's his life's passion, driving him to share the thrill with all who join him on the waves.
