GRANDE DAME Yacht Charter Catamaran

Crew Profile

Captain Edward Bio
Edward Rowe an Irish national, Captain, traveller, avid sailor, scuba instructor and student of culinary art. At a young age, Edward took off to travelled the world, from Bali to Peru, collecting recipes and experiences along the way. Finally landing in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean where he bought his own sailboat and has been cruising ever since.
Like most people, when he saw the BVI for the first time he fell in love with the beauty of the Islands and their chilled out inhabitants, and when he's not showing guests around the islands onboard a luxury catamaran, sharing his secret coves and anchorages with his guests, he is exploring and diving on his own boat, looking for something new and exciting.

Chef Rene Bio
René was born in Namibia, South Western Africa. Raised in a family of chefs and restaurateurs. Being the only girl in the family her grandmother bestowed the gift of the family cookbook and the secrets of the rich cooking heritage on her.
Finished school in Cape Town and joined the military. Gone on to study accounting and completed her chartered accountant certification working at KPMG. This seemed dull for her highly creative mind and she went on and started a career in photography, whilst managing and owning several restaurants. Still missing the fulfilment she agreed to do a charter with a friend on a yacht in the Bahamas as a chef and absolutely loved it. René and captain Eduard met in the Caribbean in 2016 and happily working together as a captain and chef team ever since.
