Edward Tucker | Captain

Born and raised in Florida, Captain Eddy has spent his life on the water, developing a deep passion for the ocean through boating, fishing, surfing, and spearfishing. With a USCG Master 1600 GRT / 3000 GT license, he brings extensive experience and strong leadership to every charter.
He has managed major vessel upgrades including navigation systems and electrical refits and has safely navigated yachts throughout the Caribbean and Eastern Mediterranean, consistently exceeding guest expectations.

In his free time, Eddy enjoys surfing, spearfishing, and camping—activities that fuel his love for the sea and adventurous lifestyle.


Marija Martens| Chief Stewardess | Macedonia

Marija was born and raised in Macedonia. She began her first journey to England after leaving home some
20+ years ago. Shortly after England, she set sail to the Caribbean and now counting 15+ years of
professional work experience in the yachting industry. Once she set foot on the beautiful island of St.
Maarten, she started bartending which resulted in winning two competitions. Her eagerness to travel,
explore and broaden her horizons led her to the first job as a stew on a mega yacht. The promotion to
chief stew came shortly thereafter and has been her passion ever since. As chief stew, she shares her
loyalty, enthusiasm, hard work, charisma, and positive energy with both the crew and the guests. You will
always be greeted by her smiling face and be prepared for the contagious laughter she enjoys spreading
on board.

Brandon Scholtz | Mate | South African

For Brandon, adventure and boating are his true passions. He has spent his whole life on boats for various reasons, with fishing standing out as his favorite activity. Born and raised in South Africa, he set off at 22 to travel and work abroad. When he’s not on a boat, he’s likely racing around on his MX dirt bike or spending quality time with family. He finds joy in yachting, especially in meeting new people and experiencing diverse cultures. His long-term goal is clear: to embrace this lifestyle for as long as possible, with his sights set on becoming a captain one day.

Xanthe Ibottson | Stewardess | South African

Xanthe is an outgoing and spontaneous person who dives headfirst into new experiences. She loves meeting new people and transforming ordinary moments into something fun and unpredictable. Her passion for water activities began early, growing up as part of a “boating” family. Before starting her yachting journey two years ago, she was a water polo player and coach—and she hasn’t looked back since. For her, life is about staying open to whatever comes next and making the most of every opportunity.
