Crew Profile
Captain Rico and Chef CaoimheMeet Captain Rico van Rooyen, a South African captain whose sailing journey started in 2023. As a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster offshore he loves to sail and explore the water that surrounds him. His career is a testament to his dedication to excellence, with a focus on delivering top-quality service. Rico's passion for sailing goes beyond the professional realm; it reflects his genuine connection to the ocean and the joy of sharing that experience with others. Growing up next to the water, Rico spent a lot of time on boats doing water sports where he gained vast knowledge in this area. This is where Rico found his love for being on the water and knew he would excel in this industry.
Caoimhe is a vibrant Irish native, who was born for adventure, travel, and bringing a sense of warmth and comfort to everyone she meets. She was introduced to sailing 10 years ago and her quest for working on board started then. She did the necessary courses and was offered her first job as a 1st Mate and Chef on board. Since then, a whole new adventure combining her love and passion for the sea, sailing, hospitality, food and cooking flared up. Her adventurous nature and extensive travel brings a collection of unique flavors to not only her cooking but stories to entertain.
Captain Rico and Chef Caoimhe look forward to welcoming you onboard Infinity for an unforgettable charter!
