Originally from New Zealand and coming from a yachting family, Harley has been working in the yachting industry since 2017. With his father also being a superyacht captain, he has developed a natural, approachable, and charismatic personality, always smiling and passionate about watersports. When he is not on board, he enjoys playing the guitar and working out at the gym. Harley and the deck team look forward to making every guest’s time on the water, as well as tender trips and shore excursions, a truly unparalleled experience.

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Johannesburg in South Africa, Lara began her yachting career in 2022 along the East Coast of America. With her warm smile, creative flair, and impeccable table-setting and design skills, Lara brings both professionalism and positivity to the team. A natural explorer, Lara loves discovering the towns and streets the yacht visits and immersing herself in the local culture wherever she goes. This is Lara’s second season onboard with her fiancé, and our Bosun, Strahan. Together, they bring an upbeat, energetic spirit that perfectly complements the dynamic atmosphere onboard LATIKO.

Tyron also joins us from South Africa and is our super smiley deckhand and dive master. Although this is his first season on superyachts, he has over five years of experience at sea as a dive instructor/deckhand across a variety of dive operations. He loves all sports and water activities and is an absolute pleasure to be around. He’s also a very keen fisherman, and if there’s anything out there to catch, Tyron is the man to talk to.

Luke brings over 20 years of engineering experience across both commercial vessels and yachts, contributing an exceptional depth of knowledge across all onboard systems. A sports enthusiast, Luke is typically found below deck overseeing the engine room operations, but is equally valued on deck for his positive presence and team spirit.

Andrew converted to Super Yachts from the commercial shipping industry. He completed his engineer training in 2017 and since then, he has been working his way up to be Chief Engineer across a range of yachts from 50 – 140m. Andrew is a very skilled engineer and he is transferring his knowledge excellently to keeping all the systems onboard operational. This is Andrews 5th year with us onboard LATIKO and although he spends most of the days in the engine room making sure things run smoothly, he’s always a bright character when out on deck.

As our Bosun and a qualified officer, Strahan can also be found on the bridge during navigation.
