Crew Information
Captain: Colben Holmes
Colben was born and raised in Ballito on the North Coast of South Africa. Colben grew up at the beach and has an avid love for the ocean. He grew up paddle ski fishing and more often than not was found out on the water hauling in tuna and mahi mahi. After Colben and Teagan met while working in a fishing shop, they bonded over their love for the ocean and future plans to go sailing. In 2019 they got married before setting out on the great adventure of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Colben has worked on super yachts but much prefers the simple yet exciting sailing yacht lifestyle. Colben loves to be able to make other people's experiences on the water amazing and exciting so they can share the love and passion he has for the ocean.
Teagan grew up in the small town of Ballito on the North Coast of South Africa. She worked at summer camp in the USA for a season and also traveled the USA for 6 months. Teagan loves to explore and learn about new cultures and places. After her family sold up everything they owned in South Africa, they bought a catamaran and started their journey sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from South Africa to Brazil. Over the last year and a half they made their way up to the Caribbean in search for beautiful new places, people and the best underwater life. Teagan loves to cook and bake and loves any occasion to bake for and celebrate.
