Your Crew
Dean Chamberlain Head Captain
Crew Profile
Captain - Will LowesGrowing up mostly in a Seaside town in East Kent, Will has always known what it's like to be on a boat and to be living by the sea. After a childhood on the water and 2 years traveling Australia Will decided it was time to knuckle down and complete his courses.
Will has many memorable trips but the one that always pops up first is when he ran an adventure sailing trip around the UK. With the forecast being just perfect when he arrived in Oban, W Scotland and was lucky enough to see a lot of the islands without seeing another boat but was welcomed by the incredible wildlife that congregated in that part of the world in the early summer. It's one of his favourites to date.
With a taste for adventure and the beauty of the ocean, Will can create the perfect experience for you.
Deckhand - Shane Marais
With a background shaped by military values and farm life, Shane is a driven Superyacht Deckhand in the making, driven by a lifelong passion for the ocean. Growing up on his family's 1000 hectare farm in South Africa, he is no stranger to physical work.

Stewardess - Alissa-Christina Smith
Allisa started sailing on laser picos in an after school club in Cornwall. As well as growing up sailing with her family which has given her a great sense of navigation.
In her early 20s she got a job on a one of a kind 30m Italian build aluminium sloop which was captained by a very knowledgeable sailor Frank Stocker, who it transpires was influential early on in Tracy Edwards career. She was taught a lot about sailing a big boat.
She has extensive sailing knowledge having travelled the world by boat and is hands on in every aspect of charter life.
Chef - Sophia Kirkpatrick
Sophia grew up in a food orientated family. With a mix of Indian and Sicilian heritage she has always been surrounded by diverse flavours, family recipes and food being the focal point of all occasions. She is an artistic person and after 7 years of yachting has found working in the galley an excellent way to channel that creativity in an environment she thrives in. Sophia treasures finding fresh, seasonal produce and creating both innovative and traditional dishes. After recently taking a break from yachting to work in professional kitchens ashore and to run a kitchen of her own, still always feels a calling to the sea and takes pride in being a very accomplished sailor so is always keen to pull some lines and share her wealth of knowledge there's a spare moment in the galley.
