OUTTA TOUCH Yacht Charter Motor Boat

Captain – Kobus Nieuwoudt
Kobus started his yachting career in 2015 in Cape Town, South Africa on sailing charters and experiences. In 2016, he worked on sailing catamaran charters in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and surrounding islands. He got into yachting because of his love for sailing and exploring new exotic locations. When asked what is his favorite location to which he has traveled, he says Bequia, an island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is one of his “most favorite places in the world.” Kobus is confident and passionate about his work and continuously strives to make each guest's experience aboard a vessel memorable in every way.

Stewardess - Mackenzie Johnson
A true Floridian, born and raised. Before my career as a Stewardess, I was a Nurse Recruiter who always had a passion for traveling the world. I began my yachting career 3 years ago in Fort Lauderdale, FL. My fiancé and I have now been working together for the past 3 years, working on both Private, Charter boats and estates. The most gorgeous place I have traveled to is Grenada, just north of Venezuela, but I truly love all of the Caribbean and the breath-taking views. The easiest part of my job is getting along with the guests. I truly enjoy service and I will treat you with utmost respect onboard. My goal is to show you places you have yet to explore, while giving you the best experience. I have extensive wine knowledge and enjoy pairing Chef's dishes with wine. I used to be a student athlete and played softball in college. Growing up I played almost every sport. I love the outdoors, exploring, snorkeling, and visiting new beaches!

Chef – Ricky Velez
Mexican American 3rd Generation Chef. I have been cooking professionally for 10+ years in 5 star restaurants, resorts, country clubs, French bakeries and super yachts. This experience has trained me to deliver top notch food in many international cuisines. Additionally, I am a very passionate chef who loves to cook classic and traditional dishes as trained by the best in the industry. Since I am part of the young generation of chefs who love to play with the boundaries of gastronomy and newest trends including fusions and molecular gastronomy. I enjoy science, working out and exploring new things.
