MEET YOUR CREW:CAPTAIN: Luke Badenhorst
CHEF: Klarisse Jordaan
With a life shaped by his exposure to the ocean, Luke is a competent seafarer whose passion has led to a variety of experiences in and on the water.
Luke was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and grew up spending a great deal of time on the Vaal River, where he discovered a love for wakeboarding and all things water sports. As a teenager his family were lucky enough to relocate to Salt Rock on the east coast of South Africa, where he had the opportunity to explore deep sea kayak fishing, deep sea and marlin fishing with his family. He also explored spearfishing and free diving as hobbies, and the desire to become a PADI Dive Master.
As one can see his career has been defined by adventure, discipline, and a deep respect and love for the ocean. After completing his yacht masters course he captained sailing vessels off the Western Cape, South Africa and deliveries of yacht from Cape Town.
Whether he’s on deck, beneath the surface, or navigating unfamiliar waters, Luke brings a unique blend of seafaring expertise and intuition that reflects a long connection to the sea.
I grew up on a farm in a small town in the middle of South Africa, where life was simple, hands-on, and full of flavor. I began cooking alongside my mom at the age of four, sparking a lifelong passion for food and hospitality. Although I don’t have formal training, my skills have been shaped by real-world experience, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.
After finishing high school, I moved to Cape Town and quickly found my place in the hospitality scene. I worked as a bar manager and often stepped into the kitchen to help during busy services, gaining a deeper appreciation for teamwork, timing, and flavor. My love of travel and adventure eventually led me into the world of yachting, where I worked as the sole stewardess aboard a 60ft yacht. That experience taught me resilience, precision, and how to create memorable experiences in unique and often demanding environments.
In my downtime, I enjoy staying active with regular workouts, discovering new places, and trying exotic and unusual foods. I also have a love for photography, especially capturing natural landscapes and spontaneous moments. While I’m open-minded and easygoing, I’m not a fan of jelly sweets or super long movies (the kind that feel like they need an intermission!).
I bring heart, hustle, and a creative edge to everything I do—and I’m always eager to learn more, try something new, and connect with people through shared experiences.
Luke and Klarisse can't wait to share this amazing vacation and the Virgin Islands beautiful islands with you.
