Meet the Crew of LA PERLE
Where Seamanship, Fine Dining & Island Adventure Unite.
“Every voyage aboard LA PERLE is an immersion in the art of ocean living.”

Captain Jaden Butterworth
Master of Seamanship • Fishing & Dive Specialist
Born along South Africa’s north coast, Captain Jaden grew up on the water—fishing, diving,
and navigating the wild Indian Ocean. That upbringing shaped a lifelong instinct for the sea,
now refined through years of professional yachting and scuba instruction across the
Caribbean. Calm, confident, and endlessly enthusiastic, Jaden brings precision seamanship
and a deep respect for the ocean to every voyage. Guests benefit from his intimate
knowledge of secluded anchorages, vibrant reef systems, and uncharted fishing grounds.
Whether you’re joining him on a dawn fishing run, exploring hidden dive sites, or gliding
into a sunset mooring, Captain Jaden ensures every detail is effortless, safe, and
unforgettable.
“Jaden’s passion for the ocean is magnetic—you feel it the moment he sets the sails or drops
anchor over a coral reef.”

Chef Michael O’ Brien
Culinary Artist • Dive Master • Creator of Moments
From Pretoria’s rolling farmlands to the galleys of luxury catamarans, Chef Michael brings a
soulful approach to cuisine that blends technique with imagination. A culinary-trained chef
and certified dive master, he turns fresh Caribbean ingredients into sensory art—handcaught fish grilled to perfection, tropical fruit coulis, and breads baked at dawn. Michael’s
culinary philosophy is simple: authenticity, freshness, and joy. He curates each menu to
reflect the mood of the voyage—vibrant seafood lunches after a dive, refined wine-paired
dinners beneath the stars. His plating is elegant; his flavors, unforgettable.
“The ocean provides the ingredients—Michael provides the magic.”

Deck/Stew Jessica Dawn Scott
Hospitality Expert • Open-Water Diver • Water Sports Guide
Jessica embodies the grace and versatility of modern yachting service. With a background in
hospitality and an adventurous spirit, she moves seamlessly between deck and interior—
ensuring every guest experience is refined yet relaxed. From elegant table settings and
silver-service dining to assisting with scuba gear, paddleboards, or E-foils, Jessica makes
every moment flow beautifully. Her warm, attentive energy transforms LA PERLE into a
sanctuary at sea. Whether she’s serving sunset cocktails, leading a guided snorkel, or
arranging a private beach picnic, Jessica’s touch elevates each experience into something
personal and memorable.
“Jessica has a rare gift—she makes luxury feel natural.”


The LA PERLE Experience
Fine Dining • Scuba Adventures • Sport Fishing • Water Sports •
Island Luxury
Your days aboard LA PERLE unfold like the tide—each moment a new discovery. Begin the
morning with a sunrise dive led by Captain Jaden, then reel in the day’s catch as the first
rays touch the bow. Chef Michael turns it into a delicate lunch, perfectly paired with island
flavors. Spend the afternoon wakeboarding, paddleboarding, or simply floating in turquoise
serenity as Jessica attends to every detail on deck. As dusk settles, champagne bubbles, the
sky blazes gold, and another unforgettable evening begins—where stories, laughter, and the
rhythm of the ocean come together under Caribbean stars.
“Step aboard LA PERLE—where luxury meets adventure, and every wave tells your story.”
