Crew Information
Captain: Riley Morrison
MEET YOUR CREW:
Captain: Riley Morrison
Chef: Glen Massey
Stewardess: Airiana Ramos
Riley grew up in Nova Scotia, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Spending time outdoors was a large part of his childhood and was where he got his first taste of life on the water.
After graduating from university, he completed his 200ton Captain's license and has been working at sea ever since. He’s been employed as a captain for the past six years and has completed over 70 charters. Riley has sailed throughout the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, around South Africa, across the Atlantic, and the coast of England and Ireland. He’s experienced on a multitude of sailing yachts, high-performance racing yachts, large motor yachts, and sailing super yachts. Riley will make sure you have a safe and memorable time onboard!
Chef Glen is South African with a passion for all things flavourful. With 10 years of hospitality background as a mixologist and restaurant manager, he decided to take his creative streak head-on and pursue the wonderful world. He completed his culinary training at the Super Yacht Culinary Academy in Cape Town, South Africa. He loves to travel and bring his experiences and stories alive through the dishes he serves. Glen specialises in fresh light meals bringing a sense of place to your vacation. Still, like any good chef, he hides up his sleeve a repertoire of culinary delights from around the world. He enjoys the challenge of cooking for a different group of individuals and loves the personal touch of working on a yacht.
Airiana grew up standing on a chair at her grandmother's side in the kitchen. There she was taught to cook and bake and to this day can make a perfect cookie and a mean zucchini bread. On weekends and on vacation, she was out exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with her friends, camping, hiking and rock climbing.
After school she found her way to Florida and with hard work and determination she got her foot in the door and on the her path within the yachting industry.
She feels that her heart belongs in the Caribbean where she has worked on yachts as a stewardess and also became a PADI Divemaster.
Airiana is kindhearted and vivacious, always placing the interests of her guests first.
Striving for the best possible service she can offer!

Comments:
For the first time in our lives, we wanted no agenda - and that is what we had - no agenda/itinerary; we sailed when we were done swimming and kayaking, we ate when we were hungry - we never really knew what time it was unless we smelled the wonderful aromas from the kitchen! - PERFECT!
