Captain Caleb Haydock
Caleb’s story begins far from tropical seas: growing up in Canada on the windswept Great Lakes around Toronto, he spent every summer on the water. Sailing was more than pastime — it was foundation. He raced sailboats in international regattas, building not just technical skill but a deep respect for the sea and wind. Pursuing that passion took him around the globe. He taught sailing to support his university, then explored sunny coasts: Costa Rica’s Pacific shores, the turquoise mediums of the Bahamas, and the historic ports of the Mediterranean. Along the way, he completed intensive PADI dive training in Honduras (Bay Islands), bringing under-water exploration to his repertoire.

Caleb holds multiple certifications including Yachtmaster 200 GT (Commercial Endorsement – Sail), STCW, ENG1, RYA Sea-Safety / PPR, ROC (GMDSS) VHF License, Maritime Basic Firefighting, and Commercial Assistance Towing. He is also PADI Search & Rescue Certified. Every qualification reflects not just earning badges, but a commitment: to safety, to immersive experiences, to sharing his knowledge with guests.

Caleb is more than captain. He’s your guide to the waters, the secret places, the best snorkel spots, sunsets from hidden bays, fishing lines over the side, stories beneath the stars. His attention to detail, calm competence, and warm hospitality are the bedrock of what makes a charter aboard EMYSA feel so uniquely personal.

Chef Adhika Malhotra (Deeks)

Growing up on the Jersey Shore, between green forests and sandy beaches, Adhika has always loved the outdoors and life by the water. She spent a lot of her youth going on camping, kayaking and fishing trips with her family, and has trekked through a dozen US National Parks. Adhika also spent time traveling abroad to visit relatives in the UK, Europe, Kenya and India, which created a lifelong desire to travel. Coming from a large, international family, Adhika is inspired by different cultures and cuisines, and also knows the importance of gathering around the table for meal time.

This love for creating memories around food lead Adhika to pursue degrees in both Hospitality Management and Marketing. Adhika spent time as a restaurant manager in Downtown Philadelphia. She says that delivering service is "like a dance" and thrives off the energy of being around guests and getting into a flow while cooking. Having longed for a career that allowed her to be outdoors and see the world, Adhika worked full time on an organic vegetable and flower farm, growing and harvesting. She even practiced cooking for a crowd and would create elaborate spreads for crew and friends, using produce grown on the farm. Her passion for cooking only grew stronger and her dishes became more creative once she got closer to the source of the food. Adhika refined her cooking skills at culinary school in Ashburton, UK and also holds a Level || Award in Wines from The Wine and Spirits Education Trust.

Adhika's dream is to build community through travel, cooking, supporting local food systems and being outdoors. Discovering the world of yachting and chartering sailing yachts around the Mediterranean has allowed her to create a lifestyle around her passions and share core memories with people from around the world.
