She has always had a great passion for the ocean and moved to Thailand after graduation where she completed her PADI Divemaster course and worked for different recreational dive centers for two seasons.

On her travels to South Africa she came to meet her partner Brandon, our Deckhand onboard, who introduced her to yachting. Combining her earlier service and diving experiences she felt that this industry was a perfect match.

Brandon grew up in a small town outside of Cape Town, South Africa where he spent his youth surfing, fishing, and playing sport. With his intense love for the ocean he longed for a way to spend his adult life on the water, that’s when he found the yachting industry.

Entering this industry at the age of eighteen has allowed him to learn early about the high standards that come with yachting. He enjoys his job and his energy and commitment onboard reflects just that.

He strives to give the best experiences on water toys as well as fishing. Saying this, if there are any edible fish lurking below the waterline, it's probably going to end up on the dinner table. Brandon speaks English and Afrikaans.
