Captain Chris
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Christian was raised on a diet of adventure and a deep connection to the ocean. From an early age, he immersed himself in water sports, whether it was competitive swimming during his school years or learning to sail on the idyllic coastlines of Mozambique.
Before embracing the call of the sea, Christian pursued a successful career as an Interior Architect. But the confines of a cosy office job couldn’t compete with his passion for adventure. Trading drafting tables for chart plotters, he made the bold decision to follow a lifelong dream and embark on a career in sailing, driven by his dream to one day sail every ocean on earth and as many seas as he can find.
Since earning his skipper qualifications, Christian has wasted no time gaining experience. His voyages have taken him from the rugged coasts of Sweden down to Spain, across the vast Atlantic Ocean, and into countless breathtaking sunrises and sunsets along the way.
Christian’s adventurous spirit extends well beyond the water. An avid motorcyclist, he once completed a solo 1,500 km ride from Cape Town to Pretoria in a single day. Whether hiking remote trails, exploring wilderness landscapes, or diving into anything that gets the adrenaline flowing, he embraces every challenge with enthusiasm.
A World Choir Championship gold medalist and former orchestra percussionist, Christian’s diverse background reflects a unique blend of discipline, creativity, and teamwork. He has even served as ground crew and support for aerial firefighting teams, proving his adaptability under pressure.
With a cheerful, can-do attitude and a firm belief that life’s problems are never as bad as they seem, as long as there’s a good cup of coffee to be found. Christian brings positivity, professionalism, and an infectious sense of adventure along with him wherever he goes.
Chef Nina Fischer
Born in the UK, I’ve worked in various different industries, including guest relations, financial services and property management, but the land life of Monday to Friday always felt a little restrictive. In 2021 I took the leap and started working on yachts, where my love for adventure, travel and hospitality found the perfect setting! Having since sailed 8000nm around 17 different countries, the water and sunsets continue to bring magic to every day.
I love making sure that guests are well taken care of, enjoying meals tailored to their preferences, feeling happy and fueled for whatever the day brings. I’m excited for another season in the glorious BVI and can’t wait to welcome you onboard!
