CAPTAIN
Rorke Anderson

Rorke grew up on a farm in a small town in South Africa, finding any excuse to go fishing on weekends or holidays with his family off the East coast. He began his sailing journey by joining a catamaran that sailed from South Africa to Zanzibar hopping from island to anchorage. He later joined a world wide explorer fishing vessel sailing from Seychelles to Brazil via the southern tip of Africa. He was thrilled to complete an Atlantic crossing and did not want to stop there, ticking off bucket list ideas that he only thought were in his wildest dreams. Visiting and exploring some of the most "off the grid" locations like Madagascar, Ascension Island and sailing down the Amazon River quickly created a thirst for adventure.

Following a short stint backpacking through Central America, he joined a large luxury Sports-fisher that cruised the coastlines of Costa Rica chasing billfish. The vessel was not afraid of range and didn't hesitate to explore distant and different waters across the Pacific Coast and Caribbean, passing through the Panama Canal up to Bermuda. Rorke was also heavily involved in extensive shipyard periods with the boats he worked on, specifically positioned in the engine room. Working with his hands is something he prides himself on and he loves all things engineering related.

Both Rorke & Paige love sharing their passion for the ocean with guests, showcasing the raw beauty of the picturesque islands and the many blues that the ocean has to offer. All just one trip away. Rorke is also an accomplished fisherman, having spent time aboard a fishing vessel. If reeling in a catch of the day is on your to do list, Rorke will not disappoint.

CHEF
Paige Raw

Paige grew up exploring the rapids of the Great Usutu River and scaling the mountains in the Kingdom of Eswatini. Paige would spend the early mornings exploring the wildlife that surrounded her home, and the orange tinged afternoons dancing through the tall savannah grass.
As her story matured, she decided to follow her love of adventure and culture and received her BSc of Psychology in the USA during which the satisfaction of following the intricacies of research grew in all areas in her life. It found her traveling with the Utah Council of Citizen Diplomacy to the One Young World Summit and inspired her to continue seeking out different cultures and common grounds.

Cooking together as a family was a common and humor-filled occasion, with Paige's Granddad, as the head chef of the their bustling family kitchen. To Paige, food has always been about sharing stories. Understanding the origins of each ingredient and the meaning of each dish to various cultures was the foundation of conversations around the dinner table. Paige always dreamed of being a natural in the kitchen, just like her Granddad. She hopes to continue his story.

After her studies and travels, this is where being a chef on the yachts presented itself. She is thrilled that she has been able to find an intersection between her love for the outdoors, food, and the precision of academics. After attending cooking courses in Cape Town and workshops around the world, Paige aims to tailor an experience for you that will allow you to tell your story for many years. Paige is also a yoga instructor, so in-between memorable, delicious meals, she can help you find your Zen.
