Chef
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Murray Hiscock
CHEF: Janey Krige
A dynamic duo
Murray, born and bred in South Africa and hailing from a family of sailors who represented South Africa at multiple world championships, he has saltwater in his veins. He discovered his passion for racing and commanding keelboats and Hobie cats, boat building, and yacht rigging alongside his father, embracing the ocean’s challenges from a young age. He brings extensive experience to the team as a qualified RYA Yacht Master, with two Atlantic crossings and multiple Southern Ocean races under his belt, a testament to his dedication and love for the sea. His love for the outdoors also extends to motocross, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking.
Janey Krige, born and raised in a small, remote farming community in South Africa, developed a deep connection to nature and a natural sense of adventure from an early age. Surrounded by wide open landscapes and a close-knit family, her upbringing instilled in her a love for the outdoors that continues to shape her journey today. Much of her passion for cooking and hospitality was inspired by time spent in the kitchen with her mother and grandmother, where she learned the value of creating meals that bring people together.
With a creative spirit and a sharp eye for detail, Janey went on to complete a diploma in Interior Design in Cape Town. Her appreciation for aesthetics and thoughtful design translates seamlessly into everything she does, from presentation to guest experience. However, her desire to explore beyond the familiar, soon led her abroad in search of new challenges and inspiration.
Janey spent a season in Aspen, where she gained valuable hospitality and service experience while working at the hostel MOLLIE and the store Madhappy. This chapter not only strengthened her work ethic but also deepened her understanding of creating meaningful guest experiences. Following her time in the United States, she embarked on a solo travel adventure across Europe, embracing new cultures, cuisines, and perspectives along the way.
Drawn back to the ocean and her love for cooking, Janey returned to Cape Town to complete a culinary course at the well-known Stir Crazy Cooking School. She further refined her skills working at 22 Eatery, a well-established restaurant in her hometown of Francis Bay, where she combined her passion for food with hands-on experience in a professional kitchen.
Together, Murray and Janey embody a blend of skill, passion, and a sense of adventure.
They look forward to welcoming you aboard for a memorable island vacation.

Ultimate Charter Experience
Nov 2025
We are a family of four that includes two mid twenties daughters and each said it was the best vacation ever.
Starry Night was the perfect vessel as each daughter had their own berth and we had a rock star crew of Tiggie and Capt Murray. Somehow they seamlessly blended in with our family while serving our every need.
Tiggie managed to amaze us with her cooking skills always working with a smile.
Capt Murray had things under control the entire trip. The boat was great, but the crew was the straw that stirred the drink.
You Both Are Amazing!
Murr Dang and Tiggs!
What a joy it is to sail with y’all!
Both of you radiate so much joy and kindness!
It is impossible to be in a bad mood around y’all because y’all both enjoy what you do so much. Thank y’all for hanging out with us, playing games, sharing meals, conversation and creating life long memories.
It truly feels like we added 2 members to our family this week and I pray one day we all get to hang out again. Thank y’all for loving what you do and loving on us while you do it!
You both are so amazing!
May the Lord Jesus bless you both and be with you!
– With love,
Karen W.
