Crew
Nationality: South African
Captain Jamie Dehan
Growing up on the east coast of South Africa, the Indian Ocean was Jamie's childhood playground. His family being avid divers, Jamie was certified as a SCUBA diver from the age of 12.
His teen years were spent racing small monohulls and by 18 he was a SCUBA instructor, as well as an accomplished surfer, free-diver and spear fisherman. Having worked for dive companies throughout eastern Africa, Jamie made his way to the Virgin Islands in 2013. He has since captained a variety of high-end charter yachts throughout the Caribbean. Jamie’s love for the ocean and all that surrounds it, combined with years of experience in the area, make him the perfect guide to show you “Natures Little Secrets”.
Chef Nyla Dugle
Nyla spent her early teens selling produce her family grew at farmers markets. Sharing high quality produce always gave her a sense of fulfillment and when she discovered the farm to table movement, she was forever hooked on creating a successful career sourcing and serving high quality ingredients like the food that raised her. After completing University, Nyla was no stranger to the most prestigious restaurants in Denver CO. Her thirst for adventure and the sea brought her to the Caribbean where she found herself working on a luxury catamaran. Gravitating into the galley on My Ty, Nyla still boasts the same passion, drive and craving that guided her career on land - if not more!
Crew Title: First Mate
Crew Name: Ariel Thrasher
Nationality: BVI
Licenses: AEC Engineering Course, PADI Dive Master
Born and raised on Tortola, Ariel moved to Thailand at the age of 12 where he completed his schooling. He discovered his love for motorcycles at a young age and with the guidance of his older brother, became intimately familiar with engines of all types. He also spent his time competing on the professional skateboarding circuit. He switched his skateboard for a surfboard in 2017 when he returned to his homeland. With his mind set on the yachting industry, Ariel dove right in, joining one of the largest yachts in the territory as a steward, alternating days on deck with days in the galley where he shared his love of Thai inspired cuisine. His aptitude for mechanics and ability to learn were recognized early on and soon he had completed his professional engineering qualification and took on the sole engineer role on the 105 ft. vessel. On top of all of this, Ariel somehow found the time to qualify as a PADI dive-master. The perfect addition to the team, Ariel loves to show people the beauty of his home, above and below the water!

Dear My Ty Crew:
Your efforts made the week. The boat is very nice and we sailed to fabulous places, but our memories will be centered around the family time that you facilitated and made so comfortable.
“Genuine hospitality is hard to define, but it is immediately felt.”
Jamie…always with a smile. Ready to take us on the next adventure. Keeping the dishes clean! Listening intently to Wyatt’s non-stop questions. Playing the perfect music…the Captain and so much more.
Ariel…we think there are two of you that we just did not see together. Every system on the boat running perfectly. The water toys at command. Our staterooms refreshed…how did you do it all?! Most importantly, at the beck and call of Will and Wyatt. They loved all three of you, but we will not hurt anyone else’s feelings by taking a vote!
And finally…Nyla. The smiles, the care, and the FOOD! Working around a complicated set of dietary requirements, you made each meal spectacular…while also playing with the boys and so much more.
Lynn decided we should go on a crewed charter. She was smart (as always). I had the best trip to the islands ever. So relaxing. So spoiled. Not sure how we would take a chance with another crew. We have been with the best.
One last thing…I have had the honor of working with a number of teams over my career and life. What you three have is something you should treasure. Your obvious respect and support of each other is inspiring.
Thanks to the World Class crew of My Ty for giving us a week we will never forget.
Blessings,
Janaury 2023 BVI
From the Broker:
Not sure where he has been but he (client) was absolutely effusive about the trip and extolled the virtues of you, your mate, your chef and MyTy itself. He said he has never had a better vacation -and added that he has been on many - than his week aboard My Ty with you. He said you were a fantastic captain, both from the standpoint of knowing what you were doing, and managing your crew, but a great person to be with as well.
He said that the chef was a rock star. Every meal was a gourmet delight and that she even took care of two guests who had dietary requirements. (I believe that he and his family had drinks with her parents recently). He said to tell you to expect to see him again soon. He is already thinking about when that might be and said he would let me know.

Christmas week BVI 2022
Our family's catamaran trip aboard #MyTy (@sailingmyty) during the holidays was simply amazing.
We really did not know where to start when we began planning this vacation, and fortunately found [Broker]. We were looking for a nice boat with a fun crew and a lot of activities (water toys) for our adventure in the BVI. She listened to us and offered a variety of ideas and solutions based on our personalities and preferences. There was no pressure, just great information that we should consider. In the end, we choose #MyTy...and we were so glad that we did.
From the moment that Captain Jamie and Ariel picked us up on the dingy to bring us over to the boat and we were welcomed aboard by chef Nyla, we felt at home. The boat and toys are incredibly well maintained and built with the extras, including forward facing dolphin chairs and a fresh water hot tub. But, it is Jamie, Nyla and Ariel who really made the trip amazing. Their flexibility, energy, and knowledge created a once-in-a-lifetime memorable trip. Jamie playing Santa on an efoil at Soggy Dollar was also unforgettable.
Jamie's experience as a sailor and yachting the BVIs made each day fun and unique. Other captains call him for recommendations and it is easy to see why. Two of our family members love scuba diving, and he is a safety-focused & knowledgeable dive master and My Ty carries top-of-the-line equipment. Nyla's food was incredible and wonderfully wholesome. Ariel is a great sportsman and brought the entire trip together. Most of all, they made us feel like family.
It was hard to leave and we will be back. I would recommend My Ty to anyone looking for a great luxury adventure in the islands.

The week together with the thre of you on My Ty has been exceptionial. The time & effort you all put in each and every day from well before sunrise to well after sunset never went unnoticed and was most appreciated - thank you for taking us to such beatiful unspoiled andprivate bays and areas around the BVI islands - always making sure we couldanchor as close to shore as possible made things really easy for us.

November 2021 BVI Charter
We had the most incredible time on MY TY with the amazing crew. From the insane beaches and secret spots that Jamie took us to, to the awesome toys that us adults and kids got to enjoy. The food was exceptional every single day. Sue makes THE best french toast and according to our 7 year old "the best ribs she's ever had." This was our family's dream trip and and the MY TY crew did not disappoint. in fact, they made sure it was better than what we could have dreamt up. We look forward to going back on MY TY again and again for years to come.
