KITTIWAKE Yacht Charter Catamaran

Crew Profile

Captain Benny started traveling the world at an early age, living in Egypt as a pre-teen and later in Australia as a teenager. It was living near the ocean in Australia where he fell in love with sailing. He started out dinghy sailing and racing when he was 16. He also sailed with his family on their 33ft monohull around the Queensland coast. Benny was hooked from a young age and shortly after moving back home to England he took his RYA yachtmaster coastal, which pathed the way for him to start working on term charter boats in the Mediterranean and the south of France. Benny has since taken his yachtmaster offshore and numerous other yachting qualifications to make him an experienced and knowledgeable captain. Benny is currently in the process of training for his PADI dive Instructor certification, meaning he will be able to share incredible memories with guests on and under the water. Benny has a number of other passions that he is excited to share with guests, from kiteboarding on windy days to creating short videos for guests to take home after their trip. He is also very enthusiastic about creating new and exciting cocktails for guests to try while on board.

Chef Hannah grew up just north of London, England and started exploring the world as a ski instructor from the age of 17. Hannah moved to Australia for a couple of years and it was here that she started her dive career and fell in love with living at sea. Working as a chef running term charters in the Mediterranean was the perfect way to live life on the water, doing what she loves most ; bringing people together over good wine, great food and an incredible atmosphere. Having traveled extensively Hannah enjoys bringing cuisines and flavours from all over the world right to your table. Since relocating to the Caribbean she enjoys being able to add those island vibes to her mouthwatering creations. Since we eat with our eyes you can be sure that all of Hannah’s dishes are beautifully presented. Hannah loves to jump in the water with guests and show them the incredible wrecks and reefs that we have right on our doorstep here in the Virgin Islands.
