I grew up on the coast of Hermanus, South Africa, where we are surrounded by nature. Mountains and forest on the one side and a rough and cold ocean on the other. From a young age I’ve been a lover for the ocean and its thrills. Whether it is surfing, free diving or spearfishing I always enjoyed being in the water.
After I completed school, I received the opportunity to start a 1 year internship at Neptune’s Divers and cruises, After the year was over I received a permanent position as sole deckhand and divemaster for 4 years. The fact that my office is on top and underneath the ocean makes me extremely happy. This is what drew me towards yachting, I just love being around or in the big blue sea.

I was born in Gauteng, but I grew up in the vibrant Western Cape, South Africa. I have a passion for mother nature as I have always been in/on or around mountains and the ocean. My father always dreamt that I would work in the yachting industry as he was a huge lover of sailing. We would go out sailing with his friends at any opportunity.

After completing school, I moved from Cape Town to Onrus/ Hermanus and started
working in the hospitality industry. After a few years I met my life partner, who shares the same passions as I do. We then decided to start our journey together in yachting. We continue to stay dedicated and determined to learn and grow within this industry and run successful charters.
