Captain - Magnus Wittersø Captain Magnus hails from the frigid fjords of Norway with several captains in his blood line. He spent his entire childhood regatta racing, teaching sailing and working for the King in the Norwegian Navy before he felt himself being drawn to far more tropical latitudes. Now, thawed out, and after several years of cruising on his private sailboat, multiple ocean crossings and chartering the most stunning waters and island groups in the world, he can guarantee a fantastic experience with well thought out itineraries and adventures. Chef - Jayde Cou Jayde Cou is originally from sunny South Africa. She grew up being heavily influenced by the coastal culture, which is famous for its sailing, as well as, its unique and impeccable coastal foods and wines. It was here that her love for the service industry began. Jayde graduated from University with an honors degree in software development. Afterward, she went to pursue an offshore sailing license. Since then, she has spent the last 12 years working on board various vessels, such as cruise ships, catamarans, motor, and sailing yachts, as a key part of the galley service, as well as interior and deck teams. Jayde believes that yachting is the perfect career for her. She takes particular pride in going the extra mile to enhance the experience of your time onboard and in creating beautiful, fresh, and island-influenced meals.

Armed with certifications in Swedish Massage, Bartending, and a WSET Level 2 in wine, she goes beyond serving beverages; she crafts experiences.
