Andrew Smith

Captain

Andy's lifelong passion for the ocean began with surfing, which led him to a career on the water. As a former junior professional surfer, I’ve traveled the world searching for the perfect wave and still love to chase swells when I can. With 7 years of experience as a charter captain of catamarans in the Caribbean, Andy enjoys showing guests the beauty of the ocean, whether it’s finding the perfect snorkeling spot or reeling in a big catch. Before becoming a charter captain, Andy started his maritime career as a delivery captain, crossing both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. This extensive experience has shaped his approach to navigation and adventure at sea. Off the water, he is passionate about Japanese carpentry and enjoys building furniture, a craft that mirrors his patience and precision on the water. With a love for the sea, a wealth of sailing experience, and a desire to create unforgettable experiences, Andy looks forward to making your charter one to remember.

Eliane Draguet

Chef

Eliane Draguet grew up in Marbella, a seaside town in southern Spain. Her father is a captain and does sailing day charters in the Mediterranean, so she has always been connected to the sea and loves to be surrounded by water. She studied Gastronomy and Culinary Arts at the Basque Culinary Center in the Basque Country, the heart of Spanish gastronomy, a university founded by Spain's most renowned chefs and considered one of the best culinary schools in Europe. During those four years of training, she also did internships in different types of restaurants. Monkey Club in Puente Romano (Marbella), Agrikultur in Stockholm (1 Michelin star), Skina (2 Michelin stars), Baest in Copenhagen, etc. Her love for the sea made her complete the necessary training to become a boat chef with the idea of working on a boat like her father. An adventurer and traveler, the fact that she comes from a Belgian, Spanish and American family and her international background make her an affable person who is open to investigating new culinary options from anywhere else in the world. She has already done so in the Mediterranean, around Croatia, Albania and Montenegro and is now looking forward to welcoming and delighting customers in the British Virgin Islands.
