Captain Jamie Dehan Growing up on the east coast of South Africa, the Indian Ocean was Jamie's childhood playground. His family being avid divers, Jamie was certified as a SCUBA diver from the age of 12. His teen years were spent racing small monohulls and by 18 he was a SCUBA instructor, as well as an accomplished surfer, free-diver and spear fisherman. Having worked for dive companies throughout eastern Africa, Jamie made his way to the Virgin Islands in 2013. He has since captained a variety of high-end charter yachts throughout the Caribbean. Jamie’s love for the ocean and all that surrounds it, combined with years of experience in the area, make him the perfect guide to show you “Natures Little Secrets”. Chef Nyla Dugle Nyla spent her early teens selling produce her family grew at farmers markets. Sharing high quality produce always gave her a sense of fulfillment and when she discovered the farm to table movement, she was forever hooked on creating a successful career sourcing and serving high quality ingredients like the food that raised her. After completing University, Nyla was no stranger to the most prestigious restaurants in Denver CO. Her thirst for adventure and the sea brought her to the Caribbean where she found herself working on a luxury catamaran. Gravitating into the galley on My Ty, Nyla still boasts the same passion, drive and craving that guided her career on land - if not more
