Meet Captain Adrian and Chef Emma. Option to add a 3rd crew member for an additional cost.

Captain Adrian
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Adrian grew up surrounded by the ocean. Whether it was racing Hobbes and wakeboarding on lakes, free diving in the sea, or fly fishing on mountain streams, Adrian spent every opportunity on or in the water. He quickly found his passion for sailing and began honing his craft. It was no surprise when he decided to forgo the traditional route of university and instead pursue his RYA Yacht Master.

After a year in the super yacht industry, Adrian longed for a more purist approach to life on the water and began captaining catamarans in the Mediterranean for large flotilla companies. Adrian quickly worked his way up the ranks, becoming Route Manager where he was responsible for the organization and coordination of up to 80 sailing vessels, over 800 guests and 160 staff per week. Having reached his potential, Adrian was ready for a new challenge and set his sights on the Caribbean. The crystal-clear waters and incredible marine life had Adrian hooked the minute he stepped foot in the Virgin Islands.

With more than 9 years of industry experience and over 30 000 nautical miles under his belt, Adrian is always eager to pass on his knowledge to those on board with him. Whether you want to throw a dollar in at Soggy or sit on the silent beaches of Guana, Adrian prides himself on being able to curate the perfect charter for you and your guests both on and under the sea.

Chef/First Mate Emma
Raised in the Natal Midlands, South Africa, Emma's upbringing was filled with outdoor adventures. Her mother's unwavering passion for cooking and hosting paired with her father's love for the water lay the foundations for Emma's career at sea. While studying at university, Emma spent much of her free time pursuing her passion for cooking, working under highly trained Chefs, volunteering in soup kitchens and developing small businesses selling ready-made meals. Her passion for nutrition saw her complete a certificate in Sports Nutrition through the Health and Fitness Professionals' Association which she used in conjunction with her certificate in Personal Training to provide insight to those looking to transform their lives. Following the completion of her tertiary studies in Speech and Language Pathology and a year on the frontline, Emma swapped her hospital crocs for flip flops and hasn’t looked back since (although, you’ll still catch her in her crocs).

Drawing on inspiration from her travels, Emma prides herself in her ability to incorporate local flavors into diverse cuisines, providing you with a unique culinary experience in your home-away-from-home. Beyond her culinary abilities, guests comment on Emma's warm, welcoming nature and often compare it to stepping into a friend's home for dinner. No matter your dietary restrictions or personal preferences, Emma is able to design a menu that will leave your camera roll as full as your belly with Instagram-worthy food pics and memories to last a lifetime!

Certifications:
- Sports Nutrition & Personal Training
- Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety

When not on the water, Adrian and Emma love to travel. Their appreciation for new cultures and adventure has taken them to all corners of the earth: seeing them complete the 800km Camino de Santiago together, step off the world’s highest bungee jump and sail across the Atlantic Ocean. The couple have worked together for 5 years in the industry and have a phenomenal professional relationship. Be it Emma helping at the helm or Adrian firing up the grill, the pair are committed to providing you with an incredible charter you can’t help but write home about.
