Jack is originally from Leamington Spa, in the midlands in the UK. After
studying Marine Biology at university in Newcastle, he decided it was
time to start travelling and getting on the water. As a keen rugby
player and cricketer he’s decided to take up some water sports too,
and has recently been learning how to kite-board. Jack hopes to spend
the next chapter of his life travelling the world, learning new hobbies,
and working hard to keep our guests happy along the way!

Sammy grew up in the countryside in Staffordshire, England. After developing a love for travelling and hospitality, she combined the two and started her yachting career in 2016 where she learned very quickly it would be something she wanted to make a long-term career out of. Being fortunate enough to travel to some incredible places on yachts in the last five years, this sense of adventure is part of what she enjoys most. Couple this with providing guests with memorable experiences and you have a pretty special job.

Isabella is our newest member onboard Halo. She grew up in Antigua, and works onboard alongside her sister Jess. Bella began her yachting career at the start of the year, and has just completed her first Mediterranean season. Bella loves being on the water, so a career path at sea seemed like the most natural option. She loves swimming, snorkelling and sailing. The next stop on her travel bucket list is to visit the Maldives. Before yachting Bella, completed a degree in fashion marketing at the University of Leeds and is rather handy with a needle and thread.

Allen grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and started his yachting career after finishing his Bachelor’s Degree at Stellenbosch University. Now five years and three boats later, what started out as a year travelling abroad, has turned into a dynamic career for Allen who has progressed quickly through the yachting ranks to the position of Second Officer. When not onboard Allen spends his time between Cape Town and London catching up with family. Allen has a twin brother in the yachting industry... but no, unfortunately they’re not identical and no his twin brother does not work on board...yet, so no chance of getting them confused. Allen’s hobbies include free diving, scuba diving, trail running and a bit of rock climbing when time allows. In random moments he has been known to juggle.
