LUCKY LADY

Crew Profile

ALAN HAM, CAPTAIN/ENGINEER
Born and raised on the coast of Georgia, just south of Savannah, Alan was immersed in a boating and fishing family that laid the groundwork for his future as a captain. After completing his studies at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Alan's adventures catapulted him beyond the waters of Georgia when he accepted an invitation to sail across the Atlantic to Kinsale, Ireland—a journey that solidified his passion for life at sea. Realizing that yachting was his true calling, Alan pursued a career in the industry, a decision he'll tell you was the best he ever made. Known for his engaging conversation and love of sharing new experiences, Alan is a gracious host who delights in introducing guests to stunning locations and exciting activities. An accomplished fisherman, skillful engineer, and thoughtful captain with an infectious smile and can-do attitude, Alan ensures that every guest feels safe and well cared for—whether they’re reeling in the catch of the day, riding a Fliteboard e-foil, or snorkeling with a SeaBob.

When Rachel is not cooking up a storm and working on board, she's typically found fire dancing, sharing her passion for flow arts with anyone who asks (she does this for guests too!), free diving, scuba diving, skydiving or driving anything she can get her hands on-- boats, motorcycles, four wheelers and dirt bikes.
