Originally from Cornwall, Lukas joined the yachting industry one year ago for the freedom it offers and the opportunity to be part of a close, supportive team. He enjoys working in a high-standard environment where everyone relies on each other, and brings a sports therapist and personal training background to his role
onboard. Whenever Wanderlust arrives in a new destination, Lukas can usually be found heading out for a long run, using the opportunity to explore and map out the surrounding landscape.

Head Chef
Nick is a true Kiwi bloke, as we’d say down under in Australia — at first glance you might think he’s a bit too chilled to function… but you’d be wrong! Nick is an extremely passionate chef who has trained and worked in top-tier kitchens across New Zealand, Melbourne, and London, including under Michelin-starred chefs, honing his skills into the incredible chef he is today. Humble, personable, and positive, he believes a well-rounded, active lifestyle is the key to bringing focus, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to everything he does in the galley.
Outside of work, Nick enjoys Outdoor sports — especially golf and tennis. All that pot-stirring has definitely given him a decent swing on the course.

Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, with British and French roots, Dylan has always had a passion for adventure and travel. Thanks to his mother's career in the Safari industry, he spent much of his childhood exploring Africa, developing a love for different cultures, new experiences, and the great outdoors. Before yachting, Dylan built a successful career in property development, honing the leadership and problem-solving skills he brings on board today. He even took a brief break from the nomadic lifestyle to decide whether land or sea was where he belonged, but the ocean quickly won, and Wanderlust had no trouble drawing him back. A versatile member of the team, Dylan seamlessly switches between Bosun
and Chase Boat Captain duties, stepping in whenever it's someone else's turn to swap deck shoes for pina coladas on shore. With a wealth of experience and knowledge, he takes both roles in his stride. When he's not on the water, you'll find him on the golf course, at the beach, or enjoying a braai with family and friends.
