CAPTAIN Stewart Bottomley & MATE/CHEF Reeve Forget
Stewart Bottomley
Stewart’s love for the ocean began early, spending his summers at sailing camps in Ireland where long days on the water quickly turned into a lifelong passion for adventure and the sea.
After several years living and working in London, Stewart decided to make a complete career change following the COVID lockdowns. In 2022, he earned his RYA Yachtmaster qualification and set out to pursue life on the water full time — a decision he has never looked back on. Since then, he has completed multiple seasons sailing throughout both the Caribbean and Mediterranean, with over 100 successful charters completed. These experiences have allowed him to build extensive knowledge of cruising grounds, guest service, and creating unforgettable experiences onboard.
Warm, approachable, and naturally adventurous, Stewart loves sharing his passion for yachting with others. His relaxed personality, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for exploring, help guests instantly feel at ease while making the most of their time onboard. He enjoys introducing guests to hidden anchorages, secluded beach spots, and off-the-beaten-track experiences that make each charter unique.
A passionate diver since the age of 14, Stewart is most at home in the water. Whether guiding guests on snorkelling adventures, discovering vibrant reefs, or finding secluded bays only accessible by boat, he’s always eager to share the beauty of the ocean and create memorable experiences for everyone onboard.
Reeve Forget
Reeve is an experienced yacht chef with a true passion for both cooking and life on the water. Originally beginning her culinary career as a sous chef, she transitioned into the yachting industry over five years ago, combining her professional culinary background with her love for sailing and travel. Having first learned to sail dinghies in France nearly a decade ago, she quickly realised she felt most at home at sea and has been building her career around it ever since.
With several successful charter seasons completed throughout both the Caribbean and Mediterranean, Reeve has developed a strong reputation for delivering exceptional cuisine alongside warm, attentive guest service. Her experience onboard has allowed her to master the unique challenges of yacht hospitality, from provisioning in remote islands to creating beautifully presented meals in compact galley kitchens while adapting seamlessly to life at sea.
Creative by nature, Reeve also studied photography at university and has a keen artistic eye that shines through in both her presentation and attention to detail. Inspired by the destinations she sails through, her cooking is fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully crafted to suit each guest’s preferences. To further refine her skills for yacht life, she completed a specialist yacht chef training course in the UK, helping her develop the versatility and organisation required for luxury charter operations.
In addition to her culinary background, Reeve has previous experience nannying for children, making her especially confident and comfortable hosting families onboard. Her calm, approachable personality helps guests of all ages feel instantly relaxed, welcome, and well cared for throughout their charter experience.
Stewart & Reeve
Together, Stewart and Reeve create a professional, welcoming, and highly guest-focused team onboard. Having worked together across multiple charter seasons in both the Caribbean and Mediterranean, they have developed a natural flow that allows charters to run seamlessly while maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for guests. Their shared passion for travel, sailing, diving, and creating memorable experiences shines through in every aspect of life onboard. Whether it’s discovering hidden anchorages, planning unforgettable days on the water, or delivering exceptional food and service, they pride themselves on creating personalised charter experiences that guests remember long after leaving the boat.

Having never taken a sailing vacation, this trip is among the best vacations I have ever experienced.
Stewart and Reeve are experienced hosts who ensure a superior experince frequently checking in so we take advantage of fun and water devices on board and site to experience off the boat.
Reeve provided an amazing dining experience at every meal - visual appealing, always delicious and defintley healthy! She is conscious about dislikes and food allergues.
I highly recommend these hosts so you too, can have a relaxing yet adventurous vacation!

Was the yacht comfortable and clean?
▷ I was amazing when arriving at the boat. So beautiful. Clean. Spacious.
Was the yacht well ventilated?
▷ Yes it had a great open concept during the day and closed at night so the A/C could be turned on for sleeping.
Was the crew friendly and accommodating?
▷ Crew was fabulous. So on top of everything and I would sail again with them where ever they are. The captain was willing to take us wherever we wanted to go based on our expectations. The cook was super.
Was the food good and well presented?
▷ Food was great. So pretty and tasty.
Additional comments about the yacht and crew?
▷Can’t express how happy we were with the crew. Everyone in our travel team expressed how great they were.
We wanted to sail so we went to an island that was a three hour sail away and it was so great to sail there.
For me being on the boat, snorkeling from the boat and using the ring float was the best part of the trip. Clearly one of the top 5 vacations I have ever done. One of our travel team said it was a 10 out of a scale of 1 to 5.
