About the Crew
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Kevin Askew
CHEF: Desre Askew
Kev is a South African who grew up in the coastal city of Port Elizabeth, where the ocean has always been a big part of his life. He developed his passion for the ocean and sailing during his time in the South African Navy. He thrives on adventure and, apart from sailing, much of his fun time was spent on long-distance surf-ski racing and mountain-bike ultra marathons.
And if that’s not enough to keep him busy, Kevin has a wonderfully diverse range of interests. He is an avid beekeeper, has an endless knowledge of wildlife and sealife, and enjoys following the world's markets.
With a lifelong connection to the sea, a love of adventure, Kevin brings experience, enthusiasm and a great sense of humour to every charter.
He is always looking forward to making sure everyone on board has a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Chef Des is a South African chef with a serious eye for detail, a big love for food, and a talent for creating dishes that people remember long after the last bite.
Coming from a family with a strong hospitality and food background, Des has grown up around great food and even greater work ethic. She takes real pride in what comes out of her galley and loves nothing more than seeing guests fall in love with what’s on their plate.
Her cooking brings flavors from around the world - from beautifully presented continental classics to aromatic oriental-inspired dishes. She loves keeping things fresh, fun and a little unexpected.
With a warm, fun-loving personality, Des, loves to meet people and establish long lasting friendships.
Both Kev and Des have been working together for many years as an energetic and fun-loving team. Their shared passion for adventure, hospitality and the ocean, combined with their complementary skills and strong work ethic, allows them to create a relaxed, professional and enjoyable experience for every guest.

Ultimate Charter Experience
Nov 2025
We are a family of four that includes two mid twenties daughters and each said it was the best vacation ever.
Starry Night was the perfect vessel as each daughter had their own berth and we had a rock star crew of Tiggie and Capt Murray. Somehow they seamlessly blended in with our family while serving our every need.
Tiggie managed to amaze us with her cooking skills always working with a smile.
Capt Murray had things under control the entire trip. The boat was great, but the crew was the straw that stirred the drink.
Memories
What a joy it is to sail with you!
Both of you radiate so much joy and kindness!
It is impossible to be in a bad mood around you because you both enjoy what you do so much.
Thank you for all the memories.
You Guys Are Amazing!
You guys are amazing!
Murray, you had us at the right spot at the right time. No crowds & stress free memories made possible for us.
For going out of our way to not only find the perfect cliff dive spot but to join in!
Tiggs you are such a servant. Your meals & skills are amazing. You take such pride in making sure we relax. You have a smile that can light up a room. Thank you for giving us a taste of many different cultures. Even the fish was amazing.
Your team dynamic is light and fun.
Thanks for making time in your days & evenings to hang out, eat, play games. We will miss you guys & some of the other connections we made along the way.
Until the next time.
