CAPTAIN JASON
Captain Jason Olivier is a South African sailor, surfer, and ocean lover with a deep-rooted passion for life on the water. Growing up on a farm in South Africa taught him the value of hard work, patience, and hands-on problem-solving qualities that continue to shape his approach as a captain.
Jason’s connection to sailing is deeply personal. Together with his parents, he spent 20 years building a 42ft Wharram catamaran, a project that taught him dedication, craftsmanship, and a true understanding of boats from the inside out. Once completed, Jason and his family sailed the yacht around East Africa, creating unforgettable experiences and strengthening his love for adventure, seamanship, and exploring remote coastlines.
A passionate surfer and PADI Divemaster, Jason is happiest in or on the ocean. He loves sharing that lifestyle with guests, whether it’s finding the perfect anchorage, exploring hidden snorkel spots, chasing a beautiful sunset, or creating a relaxed and memorable day on the water.
As a captain in the British Virgin Islands, Jason brings together strong seamanship, a calm and capable nature, and genuine hospitality. His goal is to make every charter safe, comfortable, adventurous, and unforgettable.

From a young age, she found joy in the kitchen, drawn to the way food brings people together and creates moments that are remembered long after the meal is over. For her, cooking has never been just about what’s on the plate; it’s about connection, hospitality, and making people feel at home wherever they may be.
With an incredibly deep love for nature and the ocean, Sydney has always been drawn to a life of adventure. Her passion for diving, exploring new places, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures continually inspires both her life and her cooking. Every destination offers something new to discover, whether it’s a local ingredient, a family recipe, or a story shared around a table.
Warm, creative, and attentive, Sydney approaches every meal with genuine care. Whether it’s a leisurely lunch after a day on the water, a sunset dinner with loved ones, or a celebration shared among friends, she takes pride in creating meals that become part of the memory itself.
For Sydney, everybody should get to experience the island lifestyle and the magic of life at sea. She hopes that each meal becomes more than just something to eat. It becomes part of the journey itself, woven into the stories, laughter, and unforgettable moments that make a trip so special.
