Crew Profiles

After spending just a few minutes with Hylton and Amy you will pick up on their passion for the ocean. Growing up on the East Coast of South Africa meant their childhoods were both full of outdoor adventures, with family and friends, along the coastline. Hylton and Amy have spent the last 12 years together on the ocean running SCUBA trips, spearfishing trips, whale swimming trips, line fishing trips as well as term and adventure yacht charters. Four of these years were spent living in the remote islands of Tonga in the South Pacific, this has taught them a lot about enjoying and appreciating the simple things in life. What they enjoy most is sharing their passion for the ocean with others, those new to it and those who are already ocean souls like themselves.

Hylton has covered many miles in his sailing career which started off 10 years ago delivering sailing yachts from South Africa to various parts of the world. Hylton is a certified freediver, SCUBA dive master, in-water whale swim guide and RYA yacht master.

Through their travels Amy has picked up recipes from the South Pacific, Indonesia, South Africa and the Caribbean that she will share with you during your stay. One of their favourite parts of their lifestyle is being able to selectively catch what they cook and create fresh and delicious meals onboard or over a beach bonfire.
The crew cannot wait to have you onboard. There will be many stories told and laughs had, but most of all they cannot wait to share our beautiful oceans with you.

Growing up in South Africa near the ocean, Danika was always drawn to the allure of the sea. But it was her upbringing in the service industry that taught her the value of creating exceptional experiences for others.

Her journey took a turn when she landed a job on a yacht in Europe attending the Super yacht cup. She was swept up in the adventure and excitement of life at sea. As she honed her skills on yachts, Danika discovered a passion for adventure and a love for the freedom that came with life on the water.

She decided to move to the BVI and try out a completely different experience, this is what truly captured her heart. The island life, with its vibrant culture and stunning natural beauty, stole her soul. Danika began to appreciate the joy of connecting with others and creating unforgettable experiences for her guests.

Now, as Danika continues on her journey, she is dedicated to merging her love for adventure, service, and the ocean. She aims to inspire a sense of wonder and awe in all those around her.
