Meet Kylie, your Chef/First Mate from South Africa. Her journey from Johannesburg, South Africa, to the high seas is nothing short of an adventure. After studying Fine Arts at UCT, she took a detour into the world of video production with a leading cruise line company during what was supposed to be a ´gap´ year.

Little did she know, this journey lead her to the discovery of her true passion - the service industry and making genuine connections with people. Extending her gap year turned into years of exploration across more than seventy countries, where she delved into diverse culinary encounters, solidifying her love for creating food.

Fuelled by Kylie’s love for the ocean and its mysteries, it was only natural for her to pursue her dream in the marine industry. Drawing on her background in illustrating and art, she found the perfect harmony in combining her love for cooking with the magic of the sea.

Get ready for dishes that are simple, delicious, and boast bold, sometimes exotic, flavour combinations that will leave your taste buds dancing. When she’s not whipping up culinary delights, you´ll find her embracing her other loves - Yoga, Scuba Diving, fishing, and indulging in films.

Kylie is all about going above and beyond to make each charter an unforgettable experience - a perfect blend of ocean wonders and palate-pleasing moments. Join her on this culinary journey that´s not just about food; it´s about creating memories that linger long after the voyage ends.

Jewel (67) Guest Reviews

We lived like royalty for the week and can’t wait to do it again!

We had an amazing trip with JP and Eden. Eden is a fantastic chef and all of the meals she prepared were absolutely delicious. JP was a terrific captain/host and very attentive to ensure our entire group was having a great time. In addition to being a very capable captain, he took our kids tubing, was always available to take us to shore at a moment’s notice, and mixed up some amazing cocktails! We lived like royalty for the week and can’t wait to do it again!

JP and Eden are THE BEST crew to have!

JP and Eden are THE BEST crew to have! As soon as our family got on board, they immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. JP was so accommodating if we asked him to take us to certain bays. He knew the area very well and would take us to the best views, beautiful waters, and best snorkeling spots. Every day they would set up floats and rafts for us and pull out the paddle boards. JP even helped showed us how to do it! Every single meal by Eden was AMAZING. It was so nice not having to worry about what the next meal would be. Eden made every meal delicious and picture worthy! The presentation was beautiful! She was also so accommodating to my picky eater kids and made them special meals if they wanted. Drinks were always flowing and delicious! Not only did they both make my family feel so comfortable but they truly went out of their way to make us feel special. We truly felt like they were friends. We hated getting off the boat and leaving them. We will always remember that trip as our favorite! We can’t wait to book another trip and we will always make sure JP and Eden are our crew!

JP & Eden were great!

The crew were great! The food was fantastic and the service was second to none.
This was our first time on a charter like this and they were very good in handling us first timers. JP was extremely knowledgeable on the boat. They were both very accommodating to our needs and wishes. We would love to travel with them again!

Best crew ever!

Our charter around the BVI was an absolutely fabulous adventure. JP and Eden were the best crew ever. The food was amazing, we felt like we were in a gourmet restaurant. We will definitely do this again! Thank you!!

Randy

We are so lucky to have had JP & Eden as our crew!

Dear Eden & JP,

When we began planning this trip nearly a year ago, I can honestly say that we never could have envisioned it being this much fun. That is mainly in part to the both of you from the advice of where to go and what to do to the incredibly delicious and amazing meals, we are so very lucky and appreciative to have had the both of you with us.

Thank you for enduring our jokes, never ending questions, small spills and for being so gracious, patient and kind. Jokingly we called you ´Mom and Dad´ and that because you made this place feel like home.

´DANKIE´ (Google says that is thanks in Afrikaans!)

We had a blast!
