MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Sam Crone
CHEF: Luzaan Potgieter
Sam grew up in New Zealand, spending his childhood sailing and diving, which fostered a lifelong connection to the ocean.
He went on to serve as a Naval Officer in the Royal New Zealand Navy for 10 years, specializing in navigation. His career took him to many corners of the world, and his passion for exploration continues to guide his life at sea.
In his own time, Sam loves to dive, surf, and kitesurf. As a Divemaster who has explored waters throughout Indonesia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific—and as a certified sailing instructor—he enjoys sharing the beauty of the ocean both above and below the surface.
Sam genuinely enjoys making people happy, and that passion shines through in the world-class experiences he creates for his guests. Now in his fourth year as a charter captain, he is dedicated to showcasing the places he loves and looks forward to helping you create lifelong memories on the water.
Luzaan is a yacht chef with a passion for healthy, balanced cooking with fresh ingredients with globally inspired flavors inspired by her travels to every meal. Her love for food began at a young age, growing up in a family where every celebration revolved around cooking and hospitality. She takes pride in creating meals that are not only delicious and nutritious but also beautifully presented, drawing inspiration from a variety of cuisines and always eager to experiment with new flavors and styles.
Her yachting career has given her the opportunity to combine her culinary talents with her enjoyment of life at sea. Starting as a stew/cook and now working as a sole chef, Luzaan has developed a strong skill set that extends beyond the galley.
When she is not in the galley, you’ll find her exploring new places, conquering the outdoors and creating lasting memories wherever she goes.
Luzaan has worked on both sailing and motor yachts, gaining charter experience. Warm, hardworking, and adventurous, she’s dedicated to making every trip memorable and is always excited to share her love of food and hospitality with guests on board.
