Your Crew
CAPTAIN KIERAN & 1 ST MATE MICHELLE
Kieran & Michelle (Left in photo) met back in 2012 in Mexico whilst working in the dive industry as instructors and photographers. Since then they have been on an unstoppable adventure that has taken them across the Caribbean, Americas, Europe & SE Asia. Kieran is an accomplished diver as well as Captain. He enjoys most water sports and has a keen interest in marine life.
They have now been in the charter industry for 8 years and are definitely enjoying their home in the British Virgin Islands. The country is full of history and secrets that have allowed them to slowly discover more and more as their adventure continues. Both Kieran & Michelle were led to the ocean by a passion for scuba diving and adventure, it was this passion that formed the foundation for a life destined for the ocean. Being on boats has been an integral part of their lives since they were young and it was a natural progression to move on to running sailing yachts in the Caribbean.
Michelle is an experienced sailor, holding her RYA Day Skipper, a PADI Dive Instructor, and an extremely competent Watersport instructor whether it’s surfing, foiling wakeboarding, or Free diving she’s got you covered. If that wasn’t enough she’s also professionally culinary trained and has worked as a yacht chef for 5 seasons. In addition to working on charter yachts, Kieran & Michelle’s other passion is adventure and photography. It is this combination that led to the birth of the Panga Expeditions. For the past 10 years, they have been traveling the world, capturing incredible footage from both above and below the surface, and have been featured on countless National TV Channels/Online Media Outlets including Nat Geo, Discovery, Shark Week, GoPro & Google. Whilst enjoying brief sponsorships from GoPro, Light & Motion, and other adventure sports companies to help capture incredible footage.
CHEF RENATA
Renata, (separate photo), born and raised in coastal northern New Zealand, has always been close to nature and the water. Seeing her mother’s passion for food and garden-to-table cooking from a young age, she experienced the joy that surrounds a beautifully prepared family meal.
Moving to Europe in her mid-twenties, Renata spent time living in London and Amsterdam, relishing the chance to travel, taste and cook during holidays from her corporate job. It was in Europe that she fell in love with sailing, and decided to take the leap to combine her passions of cooking and being on the water. She completed her Day Skipper certification, and after formalizing her culinary skills, began hosting charters in Croatia and Greece. Following a busy summer in the Mediterranean, she realized her dream of crossing the Atlantic Ocean by sail, managing the provisioning and cooking for the nine people onboard.
Renata’s favorite dishes include a mix of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian, all influenced by the classic New Zealand cuisine she grew up with. In saying that, she is always excited to discover new flavors, spices, and cooking styles, and loves to try new things. She enjoys exploring local food markets to find new and exotic ingredients and looks forward to sharing these discoveries with you in the Virgin Islands.
STEWARDESS ANAIS
Originally from Belgium, Anais grew up on the ocean-loving island of Tahiti in the South Pacific. She graduated with a Masters’s in Economics and Business she spent most of her twenties managing several businesses’ (including hospitality and retail) while kitesurfing and scuba diving in her free time. After stepping out to spend a year cruising French Polynesia on a private sailboat with her partner, she decided to transition into the professional yachting industry full time working on a range of superyachts and catamarans.
With an attentive easy-going nature oriented toward great customer service, Anais combines her previous experience to explore the Caribbean as our rock star stewardess on Twin Flame 77, creating a first-class environment for our guests to relax and enjoy.
