MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Murray Hiscock
CHEF: Harley Dell

A dynamic duo
Murray, born and bred in South Africa and hailing from a family of sailors who represented South Africa at multiple world championships, he has saltwater in his veins. He discovered his passion for racing and commanding keelboats and Hobie cats, boat building, and yacht rigging alongside his father, embracing the ocean’s challenges from a young age. He brings extensive experience to the team as a qualified RYA Yacht Master, with two Atlantic crossings and multiple Southern Ocean races under his belt, a testament to his dedication and love for the sea. Murray will be entering his third season in the Virgin Islands as a charter captain.

His love for the outdoors also extends to motocross, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking.

 

Harley is a versatile fine-dining chef with more than five years of experience in some of South Africa’s most acclaimed restaurants, including La Colombe, FYN, Salsify, Greenhouse and Gate at Quoin Rock. A graduate of the Silwood School of Cookery, he holds a Cordon Bleu Grande Diploma and has developed expertise across multicultural cuisine, open-fire cooking, butchery, advanced saucing, pastry and pâtisserie.

Known for his calm precision, creativity and positive leadership style, Harley thrives in demanding culinary environments. 

 

Murray and Harley have been friends for many years, having attended boarding school together.

Together, they embody a blend of skill, passion, and a sense of adventure.
They look forward to welcoming you aboard for a memorable island vacation.
