Captain: CJ
Nationality: South Africa
Meet the 2024-2025 crew!!
Captain CJ -
I grew up in a small town in the west coast of South Africa named Langebaan. It's a beautiful rural town with a breathtaking coastline with many water activities right at your doorstep.
Since I can remember, I've always been out at sea with my father and his friends, catching fish, diving, surfing, and sailing the west coast and around Cape Town. From a young age I have been taught about the ocean and the beauty of it, in some ways it has become an addiction of mine to spend every day out at sea.
As I got older, I got a scholarship to play rugby for a school in South Africa and had to move away from the ocean. My plan was to pursue a career in Rugby but unfortunately COVID-19 came along, and I had to work to earn an income. I was unsure on what to do, so I turned to the thing I know and love most, spending my time at sea! This is when my career in the yachting industry began. I have been in the industry since 2021 and had the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge in many different aspects of the industry.
I greatly enjoy entertaining guests, showing them around on the water, and teaching them the beauty of the ocean.
Chef Tilley -
Having grown up in the waterfront city of Portsmouth in the UK I was always surrounded by water. From a young age I have been
absolutely captivated by it, finding any excuse to be on the water. My Father owned a small sailboat and from the age of 4 I was out most weekends with him sailing around the city and across the water to the nearby Island, Isle of Wight. I also participated in Kayaking, paddle boarding and more as I grew older.
With my mother being a chef I was constantly on call for any help I could give her in the kitchen which is where my love for cooking comes from. When I go home, I often cook for family and friends to show them the new tastes and cuisine I have discovered on my travels.
Before I joined the Yachting industry I was working as a Travel Agent for mostly high-end clients, creating their dream luxurious trips with activities and excursions pre planned for them. I thoroughly enjoyed this job as I was helping these families and couples create lifelong experiences of seeing the world.
