Chief Stewardess Danika Willows
I was born and raised in Durban, South Africa a country known for its beautiful beaches and great surf. The beach is where I spent most of my time growing up and where I convinced myself that the ocean is my home. My parents built and owned a boutique hotel where they hosted weddings, parties and all sorts of events. During this time I was able to see and learn about a variety of clientele and my passion for service began. I completed my primary and high school years here in Durban and when I left school I decided to get into beauty and entertainment. I worked as a nail technician and used my love for singing on the side line. My dad and my sister are both in the yachting industry. After hearing and learning about it I thought why not incorporate my love for the ocean, service and entertainment together and so I did and I have found my dream lifestyle.
I have been working on the water ever since. I began my journey in the Mediterranean as a stewardess where I was able to travel all around Europe learning and exploring different cultures. I loved my time in Europe but decided I was ready to try something slightly different. I made my way to the British Virgin Islands where I was able to expand my knowledge in all different areas including my stewardess role, being outside on deck as well as putting a smile on everyone’s faces. I adapted to this lifestyle quickly and I am so excited to be doing another season in this enchanting paradise with amazing new people. I look forward to being apart of creating your trip of a lifetime.

We all had such a great time on Ruby One Adam as a captain and mate was very knowledgeable about all the islands and Mel was an amazing chef. They were both very professional and a pleasure to be around. I had to fly out for a couple of days and Adam was a big help solving logistical problems. We would highly recommend this boat and crew! We will for sure do this again, thanks for the memories.
