Neptune´s Escape Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/First Mate
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Francois Meyer (previously on Esperanza II)
Chef: Eleanor Thomson (previously on Sweet Ann Marie)
Life for Francois started out on the sunny east coast of South Africa. Living in Richards Bay with the ocean on his doorstep and a fishing rod in his hand, it quickly became a way of life. Soon thereafter his family decided to trade the beach for the ´bush´ and they moved to a small town in the south-west of Kenya called Magadi where he spent the rest of his childhood growing up in the wilderness.
After school he decided to try his luck as a professional rugby player. Unfortunately an injury ended his short career and it was time to move on. Thankfully the ocean had never stopped calling and soon he was back with a passion that only grew.
He gained his experience as a deckhand on Superyachts in the Mediterranean initially, and then as both a chef and a captain on charter catamarans in the Caribbean and he has completed a couple of Atlantic crossings too.
Francois is extremely excited to get back to the Caribbean to meet new people, hearing their stories and creating lifelong memories for guests.
Eleanor grew up in the small seaside town of Dover in the Southeast of England. She grew up with a great appreciation of the outdoors, nature and adventure. Her mother, born and raised in Africa, and her father, having a military background, she has lived and worked internationally. As such, trotting round the world on her own adventure is something that has come very naturally to her!
At nineteen she left the UK to study Mandarin at Nanjing University in East China, a real-life highlight and a great food tasting opportunity. Since graduating Eleanor has travelled most of Far and South East Asia and has worked in China, organising cultural programmes for westerner students - a very rewarding role. She is passionate about authentic experiences and the best of local food and culture.
During the pandemic, she took a corporate travel job in London. It gave her a detailed understanding of the travel and hospitality industry, however she needed to get back to the frontline. She was keen to do something that combined all that she loves most; cooking, meeting great people, good weather, and an adventure! Since starting her dream job, she has worked as a chef on private charters in Greece and Croatia, and now the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Francois and Eleanor are looking forward to making sure you have a truly unforgettable vacation with them on Neptune´s Escape.

Neptune´s Escape Guest Reviews
A Special Place In My heart!
Two of the most amazing people I have ever met!! Thank you for making my once in a lifetime trip absolutely perfect. Y´all have a special place in my heart. Your kindness and patience was so appreciated. You are part of my family now.
A Dream!
Thank you for such a wonderful vacation!
It couldn´t have been the same without you guys! it was like a dream.
I wish you both the best! Let me know if you make it to the mountains.
They Made Our Trip
They went above and beyond any expectations we had.
Adrian is like one of our best mates - but you can tell that at all times, even when we are laughing and joking - he never let´s his guard down on safety.
Emma is a wonderful ray of sunshine, so funny and a blast to be around. Her cooking is 11/10. I was honestly shocked by not only the quality, but also the display of the food she cooked for us. Despite dealing with various dietary restrictions, she continuously prepared fresh and healthy meals.
Adrian and Emma gave us tons of good tips on what to do and see at all the different stops. I had a birthday during this week and they made that so special too.
They literally made our week and can´t imagine booking a trip like this again without them.
Beyond fortunate.
Adrian is an incredible captain. He tows the line perfectly between great fun but being incredibly responsible which creates the perfect atmosphere.
From the first breakfast we were blown away by Emma´s skills in the kitchen. The most beautiful dishes, cooked to perfection. Every single day!
We didn´t have to worry about anything. They made sure we were always taken care of and comfortable.
We feel beyond fortunate to have had them as our crew.
Would Not have Been The Same Without Them
I cannot state highly enough how wonderful Adrian was throughout our week long vacation. Adrian is a true professional and incredibly skilled. The entire time we felt safe and were also able to learn a great deal from him. He is patient, kind, funny and above all else a truly wonderful person.
Emma was the best chef we could have asked for. Her food was incredible and she was so good at incorporating food for all the different allergies.
Our week would not have been the same without them. They felt like they were part of our friend group. All future guests are lucky to be able to set sail with these two.
Amazing Crew
I believe this is my family´s 8th or so trip.
Capt Adrian is incredibly skilled, genuine and engaging. We enjoyed his wit and appreciated his lively entertainment of the kids.
Emma was AMAZING! It there was a higher score than a 10/10, I would give it to her.
She is an amazing chef and truly went above and beyond with our our meals. Her food was better than the food I got on the islands! Her personality was spot on and she made us feel right at home from the second we stepped onboard. We truly lucked out with the best Chef in the biz.
Amazing crew! The quality of their service was top notch.
Favorite Meals
My favourite ´Emma Meals´ while we were on charter with her and Capt Adrian.
Mediterranean spread, coconut curry Mahi Mahi, pancakes, eggs any style, papaya boat, build-your-own-bagel. The list goes on and on.
BEST Trip
Where do we begin with recommendations?
Emma´s food, Captain Adrian´s cocktail hour, Foxy´s at night, Soggy´s during the day, the Baths (wear shoes), snorkelling at the Indians, drink many painkillers, take boat naps and wear lots of sunscreen :))
The BEST trip ever! Highly recommended
Aboslute perfection
Thank you both for making this trip absolute perfection! Spring Break 2023 was everything we wisher for and MORE. We could not think of a better way to celebrate 12 and 40. Our family needed this time away from the hustle and bustle. Each one of us is eternally grateful!
