Olivia Charles Crew Profile
Captain
First-Mate
Captain Sarel, originally from South Africa, grew up as a farm boy with a passion for the ocean. He loves surfing, fishing and finds any excuse to get salty. He even became a professional life-guard and part of the National Sea and Rescue squad in South Africa just to be around the ocean more.
For the last 10 years, he has sailed around the world crossing the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans as a professional delivery and charter Captain. He has explored many remote destinations and has experienced warm-hearted feelings meeting new people and living their culture.
As captain, his objective is to deliver a once in a lifetime charter experience on and off the water. His guests will enjoy an unforgettable holiday full of memories that will last for ever.
Aly is half Chilean half Italian and this combination ignited a passion for cooking from a very early age. Aly grew up on a sailing boat in French Polynesia for the first 3 years of her life. This is where her connection with the ocean began and since then, she is been travelling around the world collecting recipes, and experimenting with different palates and flavors, always preferring fresh, colourful and modern, mixed with traditional, dishes.
Ally’s passion does not end with the meals she prepares. She is a Marine Biologist and loves everything related to the ocean, especially surfing and diving. Her travels have taken her to many exotic places. She has sailed Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands and French Polynesia. It was not until she dropped anchor 2 years ago in the Bahamas when she met Sarel and they started working together.
Aly is flexible with any specific dietary needs and restrictions and loves cooking any and all kinds of food. Her goal is happy tummies and to make sure that everyone around her has a great time on the ocean.

Olivia Charles Guest Reviews
Amazing trip! Fantastic crew!
It was the best trip of my life! I would book the same yacht again, follow the crew onto another yacht and sail a different destination. It was perfect. Very clean and well maintained. Very comfortable in every respect. The meals were excellent and the preference sheets were followed with precision. The Captain Sarel and chef Aly were the reason that this was a trip of a lifetime. They were always courteous and professional and had a perfect balance between safety and fun. They were flexible and spontaneous when we required them to be and accommodated our every need. They were truly a pleasure to be with and made us feel at home. We extended the charter because we did not want to leave them. I cannot imagine a better crew and plan on scheduling another trip wit them. They are truly the best!

Pink Sky´s New Year´s Charter.
Thank you for checking in with us on our Pink Sky charter trip. We are all now home safely and are incredibly sad that the trip is over. My 14 year old daughter had tears in her eyes wishing nothing more than to be back on the boat with Edu and Jess.
This trip surpassed all of our expectations. The boat is absolutely beautiful and Edu and Jess are meticulous when it comes to care, cleaning, pride, and respect for Pink Sky. The Caribbean was as beautiful as it always is. What made the experience so memorable was Edu and Jess. They are the ultimate team. They work so well together. Edu and Jess are both highly experienced sailors. They work as a team and make even the most difficult sailing and anchoring experiences seem so easy. They took the time to teach us how to sail and were positive and encouraging in their approach.
The meals on board where nothing short of incredible! Jess is so creative with her cooking. The meals that Jess prepared were better than the top restaurants I have been to in Boston and around the world. Everything was cooked to perfection. Her ability to put flavors together and combine different foods was amazing. I will miss her cooking but she has inspired me to be more creative with my meals. Jess went out of her way to accommodate us all. I am gluten free and she was able to make everything with a gluten free option for me that was so delicious. While Jess was preparing dinner, Edu was mixing drinks, setting the table perfectly, chatting about past trans Atlantic crossings, and assisting Jess with the service. It was like being in a five star restaurant but better. We asked Jess and Edu to join us for dinner and game nights and it made it that much more fun. They are a charming team with more talents and skills than most people.
My daughters needed a week to recover from the pace of NYC investment banking hours and the other who is a student athlete. They relaxed, napped, read, swam, and snorkeled. The snorkeling was outstanding and Edu and Jess love all things water. They are avid divers with years of experience. They made the snorting experience so fun. We saw incredible fish, a shark, speared a lion fish, and admired sea turtles. At the end of the week, Edu sent us an underwater video of our memorable snorkeling experience.
If we could give this trip 10 stars we would. Thank you for setting this up for us and we hope to take another journey with Edu and Jess on Pink Sky in the not too distant future!
Warm regards,
The Reardon Family
Beautiful Bahamas
We had an amazing sail in the Bahamas on this yacht. The crew were lovely. The weather was amazing. The places we visited were out of this world. We had such an amazing vacation and found the whole experience so relaxing. We will be back.
