My name is Harry, and I’m from Brisbane, Australia. I’ve spent the last few years working as a carpenter, honing my skills in a trade that’s always felt like a natural fit for me. Outside of work, I have a deep love for the outdoors, and you’ll often find me camping, spear fishing, or exploring the rugged terrain in my four-wheel drive. These activities have fostered a strong connection to the natural world, particularly the ocean, which has always captivated me. After much thought, I’ve decided to merge my passion for the sea with my carpentry expertise by transitioning into the yachting industry. This new direction allows me to work with my hands while surrounded by the ocean, creating a perfect blend of my professional skills and personal passions. I’m excited for the opportunities ahead and eager to contribute to this dynamic field.

Tash was born and raised on the rural Wild Coast of South Africa, where she grew a fondness for boating, fishing and other ocean activities. She moved to Cape Town to study finance, eventually qualifying as a Chartered Accountant - whilst surfing, hiking and visiting food markets in her free time.
She decided to take a break from the corporate life as she wished to learn about different cultures, foods and gain more worldliness and confidence. This led her to yachting and she has not looked back since! She uses her time off to explore different destinations to surf and take up local cooking classes, as this is another passion.
