Captain Jehanne (JJ)
Hey there, I'm Captain Jehanne, but my pals just call me Jay Jay. So, picture this: I was born in Belgium, grew up in France, and somehow ended up with a B.A. in Interior Design. But you know what? Life had different plans for me. I packed my bags and landed in Ireland for a bit.
Now, here's where it gets exciting. While working on fishing vessels in Australia, I got my first taste of the sea. It was like love at first sight, or should I say, love at first sail? Fast forward to 2017, and I'm cruising the waves on larger charter yachts, living the dream.
Started off as a mate and chef on sailing catamarans, but I thought, "Why not aim higher?" Cue the RYA Yachtmaster qualification. Captain Jay Jay reporting for duty! These days, you'll find me navigating charter yachts around the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.
When I'm not captain-ing it up, I'm a hardcore surfer and marine adventurer. Oh, and did I mention I recently aced my 200-hour Yoga Instructor course? Making sure everyone on board the Pura Vida is happy and zen is my top priority.
I get a kick out of constantly leveling up my skills to keep things shipshape (pun intended). My goal? To make sure my guests not only have a blast but feel safe and comfy on the high seas. Life on the water is my jam, and I'm all about turning that passion into unforgettable experiences. Cheers to sailing, surfing, and living the Pura Vida way! πβοΈ
Chef Coral
Hey there, I'm Coral, originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, but I've proudly called Cape Town home for the past 25 years. A water enthusiast at heart, my love for sailing and all things maritime has been a lifelong passion that truly blossomed during my first sailing experience in 2010. I took it a step further by earning my Day Skipper License and, in 2021, achieving my Master of Yachts 200GT.
Despite having a solid background in the South African Film Industry, there came a moment when I felt the call of the sea was too strong to resist. Breaking away from filmmaking, I made the decision to dive headfirst into a full-time role in the Yachting Industry. This career shift not only satisfied my deep connection to the ocean but also opened up doors to extensive travel, fueling my excitement for exploring new places and savoring local cuisines. As your host, I'm known for my hospitality, ensuring that you're always well-fed and content on your journey.
Beyond my maritime pursuits, I'm dedicated to an active and healthy lifestyle, all while maintaining a great sense of humor. My diverse range of hobbies includes cooking, baking, snorkeling, SUP boarding, running, hiking, photography, and even sewing. These reflect my multifaceted interests and commitment to personal growth. You'll find my vibrant and dynamic approach to life shining through in every aspect of your journey with me. Get ready for a fantastic adventure! πβ΅π
