About the Crew
Captain - Paolo Nappi
No Italian is ever that far from the sea, growing up in a peninsular country, surrounded by water, but when Paolo’s Parents bought a beach house right on the sea front, overlooking Elba Island, it wasn’t long before the whole family would spend every weekend and summer holiday by the sea. Paolo soon convinced his father to help him buy a Finot design sailing boat called a Comet 800 (24 feet), and his love affair with the sea and sailing has continued to grow while he has bought, sailed and raced his next three boats, all ascending in size.
When he met his wife Jenny, another sailor at heart, they hatched a plan to give up their desk jobs, (Paolo was a Notary in Siena) and sail around the world, starting in his back yard – the Mediterranean.
After 40 years of sailing the Med, Paolo moved onboard Sea Pearl with Jenny full time, and sailed across the Atlantic, to continue their Circumnavigation for the next 10+ years. Sailing to some of the unique and out of the way corners of the globe in their own Oyster.
Sailing with Paolo and Jenny can give you a unique incite into what it would be like to liveaboard your own cruising home, and experience for yourself, the thrill of helming this beautiful 56’ yacht, trimming the sails, dropping the anchor and a whole lot more. Paolo is a very calm and experienced skipper and teacher, who will make you feel safe and confident, while you achieve many firsts onboard Sea Pearl.
Chef /Mate - Jennifer Kernke
Jenny also grew up by the sea in Redcliff, Australia, dreaming of sailing around the world at the age of six. Helping her father pick Oysters off the rocks, getting chased around the family tinny by giant mud-crabs and collecting driftwood for the beach bon-fire that would cook the fish that had just been hauled out of the surf.
Dabbling on Hobie-Cats, Lazers and a flat-mate’s 32-footer, Jenny didn’t get serious about sailing until she moved to London and did several RYA courses, that got her crewing on various boats in the Solant and across the English Channel. This kept her weekends and holidays full while building a career as a Production Designer in the Film Industry.
After meeting Skipper Paolo on Find-A-Crew, Jenny’s focus moved to Italy, where she now sailed exclusively with Paolo on his Hanse 341, often over to Elba and Corsica, until they bought an Oyster 485 together, with a plan to sail it around the world.
During a break from the film industry, Jenny added to her Italian culinary expertise, by attending Ashburton Chef’s Academy in Devon and started working as a chef on other Super Yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. This experience prompted the couple to understand that they have unique skills to offer their charter guests, who are looking for a hands-on cruising lifestyle emersion, where you can experience for yourself, every aspect of what it’s like to be a liveaboard cruiser. “Why not try our boat, before you buy your own.”
