Your Crew
CAPTAIN Fraser & CHEF Olivia
Sailing, fishing, spear fishing, surfing, living off the land and adventure in general runs in Fraser’s blood. Fraser started out dingy sailing, and then coastal cruising on small sail boats and power boats on the northeastern coast of New Zealand before heading offshore to work in the superyacht industry. He is a natural captain, a qualified marine engineer and has a Bachelor of Science in Marine and Coastal Ecology. With an insatiable appetite for adventure, this captain is well suited to guests looking to get off the beaten track to search for adventure and adrenaline. Whether you are new to water sports or want to improve your skills, Fraser has a knack for identifying the correct tips to pass on to those wanting to learn surfing, freediving, e-foiling or wake surfing. After his time engineering in the tug and barge industry there is seldom anything that Fraser cannot fix, so rest easy knowing your long awaited vacation will not be ruined due to unforeseen breakdowns! After five years in the private luxury yacht charter scene, he is well seasoned in what it takes to provide a high quality, luxury charter.
Olivia started cooking at a young age and through the years has developed a wholesome culinary style that is sure to satisfy after a busy day on the water. With more than 10 years experience in the hospitality industry and through managerial roles she knows what it takes to provide quality service. Olivia became fluent in Spanish while living in Spain at 18 and is keen to practice her skills with any Spanish speaking guests. As a family, Fraser and Olivia sailed their previous catamaran, an Outremer 45, from NZ to Fiji which they then circumnavigated and then returned to NZ. Over the six month trip Olivia developed great practical sailing knowledge. Olivia is also a marine biologist and a keen water woman who is currently learning to surf and spearfish when she isn’t either homeschooling their three gorgeous kids or completing the many daily tasks she is responsible for with a life at sea.
