Joe grew up in Auckland, New Zealand where his family owned a small powerboat which he used to spend as much time as possible out on the ocean, primarily water skiing and fishing.
While completing a Civil Engineering degree, Joe went on a sailing holiday to Croatia and accidentally ended up with a job for the rest of the season.
He spent the next few years trying to juggle a ‘normal’ job with getting away to sail as much as possible, before committing to sailing full time in 2018.
Since then he has worked extensively in Greece, Croatia, Spain and the Caribbean, along with delivering yachts all over Europe and completing four trans-Atlantic and one Pacific crossing.
Joe has over 40,000 sailing miles, and holds his Yachtmaster Ocean certification.
Before moving onto Joy, Joe's most recent position was Captain aboard Anna Pink, a Bali 5.4 catamaran.
He ran this vessel for two and a half years, from handover from the factory as a new build, through seasons in Spain, Greece and the Bahamas.
Alongside sailing, Joe’s other love is endurance sport and he has completed a number of marathons and Ironman triathlons.
CHEF: Michaela MORITZ

Michaela grew up on the East coast of South Africa, this is where she developed her love for the ocean.
Michaela learnt her love for cooking from her mother, who herself has been a yacht chef for 14 years.
Michaela expanded her culinary knowledge my studying for two years at a chef school in South Africa, where she won multiple awards in her class.
She also has qualifications in French culinary, pastry and sushi. Micheala’s favourite cooking style is Asian fusion.
Michaela is more than capable of catering for any and all dietary requirements.
If you do not find her up on deck helping out the rest of the crew, then she will be in the galley experimenting.
STEWARDESS: Georgie BARK

STCW’10
Georgie was raised in the UK and grew up sailing on her family yacht, accompanied by dinghy sailing.
She eventually ended up as an assistant dinghy instructor and spent a summer in Cape Cod as a camp sailing counsellor.
Since then Georgie has worked a summer as a flotilla host (where she met Joe), a winter as a chalet sous chef, and the last two and a half years on Anna Pink as the chef/mate.
Although Georgie thoroughly enjoyed her time cooking aboard Anna Pink her primary interest has always been entertaining, and she jumped at the opportunity to take on the stew position on Joy.
Georgie is a keen photographer and videographer and will definitely be able to send you some lovely memories of your holiday.
MATE-ENGINEER: Euan WHITE
South African
STCW’10
Languages: English
Rounding out our seasoned crew is Euan; Euan was born in England before moving to South Africa and growing up in Umhlanga.
With a desire to venture beyond the beaches, he fell in love with yachting and fishing when he wasn’t playing academy level soccer.
As an accomplished man of the sea, Euan would love to tell you tales of his sailfish catch or his multiple dives for lobsters.
Better yet, he’d be happy to guide you to create stories like that to take home to share with family and friends.
Euan loves bringing his enthusiasm to new places and new challenges.

Reviews
Thanks you so very much for your professionalism, care, friendship and creativity over the course of our most spectacular trip !!!
Whales, stingrays, sharks, sparkly fish, white sand, coral, deep blue & turquoise waters, laughter galore, excellent cocktails, never-before experiences, lot of pampering, multi dimensional times of incredible activities, eight extra pounds per person over only 3 meals per day... Your delightful personalities made our trip extra special as we felt welcome, safe. Well done!!!
Captain CJ has just the right mix of ship commander and friend.
Lexi was the consummate host.
Luke was very professional. He’s a reserved guy and we loved getting him out of his shell.
Danika’s food was 5 star. The presentation, variety, thoughtfulness…she blew us away.
We just spoke with the rest of our charter group, and they are very excited to start planning for our next charter.
CJ was a spectacular captain and we would like our next captain to have similar knowledge about diving and marine biology.
The size of the catamaran was perfect during this charter.
There are no words to describe how wonderful things went!
We are at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora for a few days before we head home.
We actually invited the crew to join us for drinks last night because they were so fantastic!
Thanks,
CJ,
I wanted to reach out to thank you and the entire crew for a fantastic vacation.
We have been pleased by all the 2 person crews of our 3 prior ~50-foot charters and expected the same, but you far exceeded our high expectations. There is no comparison to be made with the televised soap opera expectations.
You have the perfect Captain demeanor; confident and in command, without being superior.
Your passion for the sea and its creatures is clear and inspiring, adding to our sense of adventure.
Lexi also could not be more perfectly charming, engaging, and helpful. The perfect steward.
Luke and Danika too were both a total pleasure to be around and helpful in every way. Danika's culinary skills are world-class-delicious.
Hoping to charter with you again and/or cross paths in the future.
Please forward our thanks and contact info to the rest of the crew and let them know they are always welcome to stay with us in Old Town Scottsdale.
Warmest regards,
Exceeding expectations !!!
Capt CJ and crew are absolutely fantastic!
Already talking about booking another one next year!
The yacht was spacious, incredibly well laid out, and was finished beautifully. We had not been on a catamaran before. My wife and I have been on perhaps 25 or more cruises, but the catamaran was a real treat for us. It was incredibly steady during some windy crossings.
The absolute highlight of the trip was snorkelling these warm crystal blue oceans. Captain CJ took us to spectacular locations, where we swam with black tipped reef sharks. They are from about 3 feet to 7 feet, and are curious, but seem to be harmless. They bumped our legs to see if we should be lunch, and they swam right up to us. It was a bit nerve wracking at first, but as we got used to them, it was an incredible experience. We swam with endless types of tropical fish. Sort of like snorkelling in your dentist’s aquarium. Safety was always paramount, and the crew took incredible care of us. No one ever rushed us, and CJ always explained in great detail prior to us leaving the catamaran what we were to expect.
Getting into, and out of tenders is always tricky, particularly for us at age 70, but they made it safe and effortless. We snorkelled most days in spectacular locations.
There was one narrow channel between two islands where there was a slow moving current, a sort of lazy river. We snorkelled that lazy river two or three times each and saw endless tropical fish and colourful coral. The water is simply the best we have ever seen, and we have snorkelled around the world. All of the islands are surrounded by a coral barrier reef, perhaps two kilometres offshore. The water within this barrier reef is very calm. We went to a couple of local art galleries and a couple of pearl farms. This area produces amazing black pearls very sought after by jewelers around the world.
We were sad to say goodbye to the crew. We felt that we had made true friends, and we look forward to sailing with them again, perhaps in a different part of the world. After we got off the yacht at Bora Bora, we are at the Four Seasons Bora Bora in their world famous over water bungalows for 5 nights. It is everything you would expect from a tropical, world famous Four Seasons.
This was a world class trip, made particularly memorable by the crew and the yacht JOY”.
Life doesn’t get any better than on the Joy
Thank you CJ and your team for the great charter.
We are very much enjoying the trip. The crew and food have been fabulous. It's exactly what we needed!!
We can't thank you enough for helping us put this trip together..oh and we were able to swim above a male whale ...
It was amazing!
The fantastic experience we were lucky enough to have in French Polynesia for 10 days was something our family will never forget.
JOY is well appointed with every amenity and all the ocean toys you could need.
The captain C.J. and crew Lexi & Jorge were exceptionally pleasant, engaging and very accommodating. They seemed to anticipate all of our needs and requests.
Chef Jen exceeded our expectations! Every meal was creative and delicious. We were constantly telling each other what a treat it was to have this level of proficiency in our young chef! (and we are a family of restaurants and wine producers...not an easy bunch to surprise.)
Overall, we whole heartedly recommend this trip and this boat and crew to everyone!!
The W. Family, Maui, Hawaii"
Thank you both for all your assistance with the last two charters on JOY. Both clients had excellent experiences and we look forward to sending many more charters to CJ and his crew on JOY.
Thank you for making us free the family keeping us safe, showing us the beauty of French Polynesia and keeping us in fits of laughter.
Lexy you may be one of the funniest humans i've ever met. Your jou of life, lightearted attitude and witty humor were a big highlight of my trip.
Thank you provideed me with so much safty, knowledge and some deep belty laughs.
Thank you!
There's so much more I would like to share but words weren't created to express my deep gratitude for the trip you are made possible. from dancing with daolphins encounters, delicious food and incredible company. This the best trip I have ever been on and will forever live in my heart.
We see how hard you worked to make this happen and we look forward to the many adventures we will share together.
So much love and beams of lights.

CJ’s knowledge of the likely locations of the different areas to view, from tiny fish to 4 metre manta rays is uncanny! We have had the most memorable sightings of whales, manta, sting and eagle rays as well as dolphins off the bow and sharks swimming around us. I don’t possess adequate superlatives in wishing to say a huge thanks to CJ, Lexi, Fabiana and Pablo - you have all been stars and made our dream a reality. From our hearts, thank you all.
Bill & Hayley
