This Trip Tops Them All!!
Dear Riley, Glen and Airiana. What a wild and luxurious ride! We came as a family and left as a team of e-foiling pros!

Meet Captain Ryan, a seasoned mariner (RYA Yachtmaster Offshore) , born and raised in Southern Africa, where his love for the ocean was nurtured from a young age. Growing up, he spent his mornings catching lobster and riding the waves as a surfer and kitesurfer before heading to school. After completing his Yachtmaster Ocean certification, he set sail on an epic journey through the Indian Ocean, exploring the vibrant coastlines of Madagascar, Mozambique, Seychelles, and Mauritius. He then established himself as a respected charter captain in the Mediterranean, sharing his expertise and stories with guests from around the world.
In 2021, Captain Ryan made the Virgin Islands his new home, drawn by the crystal-clear waters and warm Caribbean hospitality. With over 100 charters under his belt, spanning an impressive 40,000+ miles sailed, he's now eager to share his passion for the ocean with you on Mahasattva ensuring an unforgettable adventure that exceeds your expectations.
Chef Glen is a South African culinary artist with a decade of experience in the hospitality industry. Originally a mixologist and restaurant manager, his passion for flavor led him to pursue formal training at the Super Yacht Culinary Academy.

Jessica grew up on the wild and beautiful Vancouver Island in Canada, where her love for nature and the ocean was fostered through hiking adventures and endless hours spent in the water. After years in the service industry and a life-changing solo trip to Central America, she discovered diving and committed herself to exploring the ocean, community work, and environmental care.
For the past six years, Jessica has worked as a dive instructor in the Caribbean and Mexico, with the last two years in the British Virgin Islands, earning her Elite 100 status from PADI in 2023.

In 2024, she joined the yachting industry, completing an Atlantic crossing on a 62ft Sunreef from the BVI to Naples, Italy. She led the team in provisioning and made significant contributions to cooking, cleaning, and watch duties during the 34-day, 4000 NM journey, which solidified her desire to work on sailboats.
