Crew Information

Crew of Buena Vida|Captain Captain

Crew of Buena Vida|Chef Chef

Captain: Andrew

Captain Andrew:
From Johannesburg, South Africa, Andrew isn’t your normal city suburbanite. Andrew is sporty and adventurous, hence the reason he came across sailing; he has been sailing since 2012, where he first sailed across the Indian Ocean. Since the beginning he was hooked, deciding he himself will become a captain one day. Andrew completed his Yacht Masters in the icy cold, stormy waters of Cape Town while at the same time studied a post-graduate degree in business. Thereafter Andrew furthered his experience as a first mate for a year in Malaysia and Indonesia. Not long after Andrew captained his first yacht in Thailand, after which he also chartered an array of sailing yachts in Croatia, Bahamas, The Caribbean and the Virgin Islands.
Andrew, a water sports enthusiast, is an experienced diver, spear-fisher and surfer. Besides being an active soul, Andrew is a jack of many traits and you’ll found his down to earth nature inviting – join him for a “captain’s cocktail” under a beautiful Caribbean sunset while Natichka cooks up some local delicacies.

Chef Natichka:
Natichka is from a small coastal town in South Africa, where she spends time with friends and family watching the surf, hiking, boating, enjoying watersports, eating freshly caught fish and picking mussels straight from the rocks. Surrounded by foodies, travelers, divers and sailors as her core group of best friends, she has a passion for exploring and experiencing new cultures and different ingredients from all over. She joined the yachting industry in 2020 after a successful decade in the events industry as a music festival production manager. After working a charter season in Greece, Natichka did a Caribbean season on a yacht starting in the Bahamas all the way down to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and back up. She is very knowledgeable on the local produce and surrounding destinations. When she is not in the galley or on deck, she is in the water either free diving, looking for her favorite fish species or exploring with a kayak. Natichka is a bubbly, high energy travel bug and loves to hear all about her guests' life experiences and future plans. Her love for food started with baking from her grandmother's pencil written recipe book which she still uses in a lot of her dishes. Creative with her plating, Natichka offers an incredible variety of dishes on board and is always open to new ideas and recipes.
