Your Crew
CAPTAIN EBEN & CHEF/MATE KATIE
Eben grew up in South Africa in a big city but most vacations were spent in the wild bushveld. His working career started as a project manager and later on in logistics. Eben started sailing later in life and as soon as he set foot on his first boat he was hooked. He went on to become a captain and managed a sailing academy.
Eben and Katie met on the north coast of Sicily in Milazzo in 2022 and it was love at first sight. Katie as an equestrian rider and Eben as a Captain both had a love of the water. After traveling together around Europe Eben convinced Katie to join him in the amazing world of sailing.
Eben has been chartering around the Mediterranean and the Caribbean for the last 9 years and Katie joined him in the British Virgin Islands in 2023. As soon as you step on board you will feel at home and you can sit back relax and soak in the Caribbean sun. Whatever your needs are, whether it is diving into amazing reefs, building sand castles on the beach, or enjoying cocktails at the beach bars, Eben and Katie will have you forgetting about the world outside the islands.
Katie was born in a small English village in the UK, her love for water and the ocean comes from the South coast of England. Her love for the ocean is matched by her love for horses as an equestrian dressage ride and her passion for cuisines from around the world. She enjoyed cooking from a young age with her mom who was a qualified chef. After completing her equine studies she worked in equine yards where she competed at a national level. She later worked at a culinary school where she further developed the skills that are incorporated into her beautiful cuisines.
