Crew Profiles
Captain Fransisco
Ahoy there! I'm a sailor with a serious case of wanderlust that seeks adventure on the high seas. I'm a Swiss Army Knife of the high seas. Over 12+ years, I've honed my skills on cruise ships, sailboats, motorboats, and tenders. I can handle boat systems with ease, keep things shipshape with
equipment knowledge, and even whip up some hospitality magic to ensure guests have an unforgettable experience. But hey, I'm not all work and no play. I'm easy-going who can add a dash of fun who is more than willing to teach you to sail while you're on board!
Another big extra is that I am a proven photojournalist with more than 15 years of experience so you would have some photos in the process of sailing and feel free to imagine me heroically fixing a tangled mess of lines with a smile (and maybe a sea shanty on my lips).
Chef Ashley
Hi !! My name is Ashley and I'm a charter yacht chef currently working in the Caribbean. Originally from South Africa, I bring a global perspective to the galley, shaped by my travels, cultural roots, and passion for fresh flavorful food.
This is my first season in the Caribbean and have I’ve already completed 25 successful charters with more on the way. Before arriving here, I spent multiple seasons sailing across the Mediterranean, where I developed a strong foundation in Mediterranean cuisine and learned the art of adapting to different tastes and charter styles.
Growing up in South Africa gave me a deep appreciation for bold, diverse flavors, and that passion continues to fuel my creativity in The kitchen. Traveling has been my greatest teacher, and I love exploring new cultures through food – each destination adds something unique to my culinary approach.
I’m excited to be apart of this vibrant community and look forward to connecting with brokers, crew, and other professionals through out the season. If you see me around or want to reach out, id love meet, share stories, or just talk food and travel!
