Born in Cape Town, South Africa, David developed an insatiable taste for travel and the ocean. Growing up over a large variety of locations, he managed to explore various different parts of his home country, discovering quickly that each place has its own unique magic, culture and people. He always managed to find himself back in Cape Town for large portions of the year, spending time snorkeling, swimming and enjoying the South African coast.
At the age of 14, David traveled to Mauritius for his first overseas trip and spent weeks on the water learning about water-skiing, marine wildlife and power boats. This prompted a further desire to see the world and travel. A few years later, having worked as a cocktail bartender for some time, he moved to the UK to hone his craft, finding work in one of London’s oldest pubs and learning from some incredible “sipsmiths”. He’s a classic cocktail fanatic and never turns down the opportunity to create something new and fun.
In 2019, David packed up all his belongings, sold his car and decided that the sea was his home. He began sailing commercially in Croatia and Greece for the flotilla company “The Yacht Week”, learning plenty from the yachts and the many guests he’s worked with. Creating many connections and friends along the way. He then migrated to the Caribbean where he has worked on a catamaran for the past 2 years.
A fun-loving, free-spirited young man, David always enjoys sparking up a conversation and showing his peers/guests the ropes of sailing.
Jay grew up in countryside of South Africa. For as long as he can remember he has been fascinated by the preparation and presentation of food, spending many many hours in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother. Growing up on the farm the concept of farm to table was an everyday occurrence. As an adult he was a private chef for guesthouses and on a number of occasions stepped in at the local golf course clubhouse when needed. Jay has always been an outdoors 'kinda' guy spending much of his downtime on fishing boats, jetski's and boat tenders which segued into the charter yacht industry. He has been a chef onboard sailing catamarans since 2019 and cannot wait to share his beautiful culinary creations with you.
Naomi grew up in the UK. She studied Environmental Science at university and is passionate about marine conservation and ecology. Her love for sailing sparked when she took part in a marine conservation expedition aboard a tall ship. During this trip she learned classic sailing techniques and worked with professionals to learn about the conservation of marine wildlife.
Naomi has worked in the hospitality for the past 8 years, she has worked in fine dining restaurants, cocktail bars, catered for events and weddings. She decided that working on yachts was a perfect mixture of the two things she loves doing the most and decided to leave her hospitality job on land to work for a large flotilla company in the Mediterranean. She has worked on sailing yachts in Croatia, Greece, Antigua, and the BVI’s.
In her free time, Naomi loves exploring, hiking, surfing and paddle boarding, however her number one interest and passion is the ocean and as a PADI Dive Master Naomi cannot wait to share this love with her guests.
David, Jay and Naomi are eager to welcome you aboard Sip Sip and offer you the most memorable vacation experience ever in the Virgin Islands.

Reviews
TO DAVID AND NAOMI
First and foremost, you are two of the most incredible people that we have had the pleasure of meeting. During our holiday, our group continually commented on how diversely accomplished and professional the two of them were. To achieve this at their young age, is only more impressive.
David skillfully navigated the boat allowing us to enjoy the pleasures of the wind, but also safely placing us in coves and harbours, and along island edges for snorkelling right off the back of the boat. We have never before enjoyed so much time in the water on any previous vacation, of any type. David also provided morning briefings and lectures on the surrounding areas, and meticulously maintained the boat when not at the helm. And let’s not forget Davids’s bartending skills! We could hardly wait for 5:00pm to approach, when we would be introduced to Davids’s concoction of the day! Delicious, beautifully prepared, and even topical to the day’s ventures.
Naomi, simply, is one of the most accomplished chefs that we have ever come across. All of us in the group have been fortunate enough to travel the world, and Naomi is definitely of a world class! The food was beyond delicious, used many fresh local ingredients, and had a presentation fitting of a red seal chef in a posh 5-star establishment. The fact that she created these mostly “scratch” dishes in a very small kitchen with limited tools, counter space, and ingredients that had to be procured a week in advance is a marvel on its own. Including a 5:00pm appetizer, Naomi was creating up to 4 unique and intriguing dishes a day. Everything about our trip was perfect, but if we were to identify the one item that surprised and impressed us the most, it would have been Naomi’s meals. We are not the type to take pictures of our food as it is served, but in Naomi’s case, that is exactly what happened.
David and Naomi worked together to keep the boat clean, organized, and safe. With all of their incredible skills, it is easy to overlook the most appreciated offering of the two, their hospitality. Much younger than us of course, but we truly admired the way the two of them interacted and shared stories with us about sailing in the British Virgin Islands as well as their previous encounters. They were friendly and caring to our needs, they joined us in evening conversation and joyful banter, and in only seven days formed a friendship that we hope will continue well beyond this sailing. There is so much more that can be said of David and Naomi, but I think this last sentence will be a good summation…. You are very lucky that we can’t think of anything to do with a boat crew, in the rural prairies of Canada, where the water is only liquid for part of the year, or we would have already stolen them!!!
You listened to our desires and put together a trip that far, far exceeded our expectations. The initial forms were simple to fill out, and now we understand just how carefully you used our information to customize our destinations, menus, and even our cocktails into a holiday that catered to our most whimsical fantasy’s. We originally thought that “& Beyond” was just a catchy little name, but upon completing our sailing, we now fully understand everything that your name implies. You are “way beyond” being a simple chartering company. You create custom tailored dreams and memories, unique to each client’s desires. Good on ya! What an incredibly well executed business plan!

Thank you so much for offering us a unique experience that has created life long memories and friendships.
Canada, Britain, South Africa, US and British Virgin isles.
Bringing worlds together!
Till we meet again!
Life has been good to us to let us take this trip with you, but luck also played it's hand at putting us together.
I'm hopeful our paths will cross again with many cold drinks!
God bless you both
This was exactly the relaxing kid free girls trip I needed. I'm glad we all experienced a bunch of firsts this trip.
Dave makes better painkillers than Soggy Dollar!
Thank you for the wonderful food Naomi - it was all fantastic.
The memories from this trip will last a lifetime and are irreplaceable.
to experience a trip like this and your kindness and hospitality made it extra special! I wish you two the best in all your future adventures.
Thank you to the owne and especially to Dave and Naomi.
----------------------------------
This has been the best trip I have ever been on. You guys are the best. You made this trip!
-----------------------------------
Best time ever! Wonderful time with family and new friends Naomi and David.
Dave, thanks for keeping us safe and for facilitating all the fun on the water! Naomi, your meals are better than we have ever had in a 5 star restaurant.
Thank you both for serving our family - we so appreciate that gift to us.
Lida served up a gourmet breakfast every morning and incredible dinners each evening. Most of our lunches were spent at beach restaurants on the different islands. We had some complicated food requests on this trip and Leda made sure that my husband had the correct food for each meal and made them delicious.
Chris and Lida are expert sailors, hosts and staff (staff wrong word?). They made the vacation by offering suggestions as to locations to stop and explore and providing us with the space we needed to relax when under sail. The boat itself has many areas to spread out and read, sunbathe, or even work ( if you have to!).
The highlight for the parents and the kids were the “toys” on board. Each day we would find a place to snorkel, SeaBob, hydrofoil, paddle board and dingy. We know from experience that some yacht charters charge extra for these perks but they are included on Sip Sip which is fantastic.
The BVI’s are the best family vacation destination and when you explore it on Sip Sip you’re going to make memories for a lifetime!
Dana, Ben and Charlie Grunow
The cruise was really top-notch: the boat was very well maintained, spotless, and you couldn't tell it was old enough.
As for the crew, as you said, they were fantastic.
They're lovely, very professional, very keen to do well and make sure everyone has a good time. We will be. Delighted to see them again if we return to the region!
