HUNTRESS 2

Chris grew up in a seaside town in the Western Cape of South Africa. A career on the water seemed a natural step for Chris whose first role in yachting was with a sailing academy. After completing his captain’s qualification, he conducted deliveries and worked as a bosun before joining the charter industry with his long-term partner Lida. Chris is an all-round water sports enthusiast who enjoys surfing, kite surfing and wakeboarding. He is also an experienced Dive Master who loves to spend time leading guests on tours of the underwater world.

Lida grew up in the same town as Chris and primarily worked in hospitality as a waitress, bar manager and chef before she joined him in yachting. Professionally trained in fine dining catering by the Ashburton School in the UK, Lida is an experienced chef who strives to meet her guests’ wide range culinary preferences. She enjoys sourcing quality locally grown ingredients to produce creative, great tasting, beautifully presented, well-balanced meals. Whatever style of food she is asked to prepare, Lida is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure memorable meals for all.
