Brandon grew up in South Africa and when school holidays came around, his family would head
to the coast where he spent his time on boats and in the ocean. At age 14, he completed his
Open Water Diving, from there he followed his love for diving, which led him to not only get
certified as a Divemaster in Sodwana Bay, Mozambique, but he ended up staying on as an
employee. He has a passion for fishing, spearfishing and freediving. With an interest in sailing,
he joined the charter industry with his brother and he continued to work as a Chef on board in
the British Virgin Islands for half a decade before being offered a Base Manager position in
Saint Vincent & The Grenadines. The timing was right for him to pursue his biggest dream of
becoming a Captain and he gave up his management position to jump back on board and do
what he loves most, exploring the oceans above and below sea level. Not only is he also a
massage therapist, but he is also the secret keeper for ‘Brandon's secret spots’ in the BVI which
he loves to take guests to.

Natichka grew up coastal in South Africa and upon completing high school moved to the coast
permanently to a small town her family is from, Mossel Bay, known to have the most great white
sharks in the world. As a self taught chef, she spent her childhood in the kitchen with her
grandmother teaching her all the family secrets and thus began her love for cooking good, tasty,
healthy food and fell in love with baking. When she isn’t in the galley, she will be the first one in
the water and is always up for guiding snorkels and teaching the world about penguins. Coming
from the Super Yacht charter industry, she has a passion for creating unforgettable experiences,
keeping the interior to a high standard and making sure that everyone leaves with memories to
last a lifetime. Prior to joining the maritime industry, she worked as a Production Manager for
music festivals and today she never passes up an opportunity to use her skills learned to host special events on board
Brandon and Natichka met on a little Island called Bequia down south in the Caribbean in Saint
Vincent & The Grenadines. It was love at first dive for these two as the ocean is the heart of
their relationship. They quickly realized that they didn’t want to be apart for one more day, so
they put their heads down, worked hard, saved money and are now following their dream of
working together. When they’re not working, they will be found freediving somewhere into the
sunset or exploring the surrounding islands and beaches.
With their new chapter starting, they can’t wait to run amazing charters as a couple. Their goal
as a team is to incorporate their shared love for food, adventure and all things sailing and diving
into their charters. With their knowledge and experience off and on board as sailors, be sure to
not only receive the most incredible photos and videos from your trip, but also memories and
friends for life. They pride themselves in creating deep meaningful relationships with everyone
they cross paths with and want to show guests what they’ve known their whole lives, that the
best place to be is on the ocean, sipping a cocktail and watching the sunset.
