CAPTAIN Ethan Lundy & MATE/CHEF Daniella Smith
Captain Ethan Lundy
Growing up in South Africa, Captain Ethan began sailing where the powerful South Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet at the Cape of Good Hope. He started his career at sea on superyachts in the Mediterranean before moving into sailing in the Caribbean and Bahamas on large catamarans.
Ethan enjoys a wide range of activities on the water, including leading dives as a Divemaster, freediving, and fishing. He enjoys crafting cocktails for every occasion, using fresh ingredients to ensure each drink pairs perfectly with the surrounding gorgeous beaches and clear blue water.
His passion for the sea, excellent service, and creating memorable experiences has led him to running unforgettable all-inclusive charters in the Bahamas, a place he has fallen in love with. Whether it’s planning the tides to explore beautiful sandbars, identifying exotic fish on a snorkel, or turning the engines off on a sunset sail, Ethan will always go the extra mile to deliver the best experience possible.
Chef Daniella Smith
Daniella is a talented first mate and chef who brings a warm, guest-focused energy to every charter. With experience aboard 60ft catamarans, she confidently caters for groups of all sizes, creating beautifully presented meals tailored to individual preferences and dietary needs.
Originally from South Africa, Daniella holds a Master’s degree in Women and Children’s Health from King’s College London, alongside a strong foundation in nutrition. This naturally shapes her approach in the galley, where she creates vibrant, well-balanced dishes that feel both nourishing and indulgent.
Known for her meticulous attention to detail, cleanliness, and organisation, Daniella ensures a seamless and polished onboard environment. Beyond the galley, she enjoys any opportunity to be in the water with guests.
Her calm, caring presence helps guests feel immediately welcome and at ease, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Combined with her love for the ocean and fresh, flavourful cuisine, Daniella consistently delivers an exceptional guest experience.
Crew Review from Previous Yacht - June 2026
We just spent the most amazing week with Captain Ethan and Chef Danni in the Bahamas. Captain Ethan is professional and very kind. Chef Danni was the BEST Chef we had so far. Her breakfast with eggs wrapped in bacon and the fruit.... her appetizers - meatballs, butternut squash, eggplant and her lunches..... hamburgers, ribs, greek salad, and of course the famous chicken salad. And the Captain and Chef went snorkeling with us. Love that. Great Memories.

Crew Review from Previous Yacht - February 2026
It was the perfect experience - and tough to leave the idyllic Aboco Islands. Our captain Ethan was the perfect leader for our adventure. He was skilled, so capable, and determined we would have nothing but the best of experiences! We had fun filled days, exceptional excursions, and so much fun laughing and exploring the Bahamas! His joy was contagious! We loved it all - feeding turtles and rays squid from between our toes, the board meeting at Hippy Beach, and feeding fish our salad veggies at Mermaid Reef. We always knew we were safe - whether we were diving, snorkeling, sailing, or simply settled for the night. Ethan was an amazing problem solver, teacher, and guide…. We would follow him anywhere. His first mate/ Chef, Dani, was delightful and a perfect match to the 2person team. Beautiful, kind and so absolutely skilled in making our meals. There was always copious quantities, always fresh- and oh so wonderfully delicious! When "we" caught two HUGE mutton snappers, Dani prepared a feast/for dinners and amazing appetizers! And she brought fun and joy to the group. We loved our boat- the layout, amenities. and impeccable cleanliness - the "crew" - the itinerary - and our fellow shipmates. We did NOT want to leave!
