Captain: Brynn Moultrie (South Africa)
Chef/First Mate: Olivia Paine (UK)

Captain: Brynn Moultrie
Brynn has been working in the charter industry for four years. He hails from Durban, South Africa, and was born into the ocean life. Durban is a place with a sub-tropical climate and one of the longest coastlines in the world. This is where his love affair with the ocean began.

As a young man and in his early 20s, he participated in “Nippers” which is a lifesaving program at the beaches. It teaches young adults lifesaving skills. It is safe to say that guests are safe with Brynn as their captain as he has been trained in saving lives in ocean type and other situations.

Brynn is what they call a water baby as he has always had a love of surfing, lifesaving, and water skiing on his boat back home. He has plenty of cocktail experience as he once worked in some of Cape Town’s most popular cocktail bars. He feels it goes hand in hand with his current position as a captain aboard charter yachts and cannot wait to shake up your favorite cocktail!

Chef/First Mate: Olivia Paine
Previously living by the coast in Mumbles (Wales), Olivia feels at peace by the ocean. While the coastline in Wales is, in her opinion, one of the most beautiful, she wanted to find a warmer climate to pursue a more permanent spot on the ocean. While completing a degree in English at Cardiff University, she would enjoy hosting dinner parties for her friends and family, exploring different cuisines and presentation techniques. After her studies, Olivia traded in the textbooks for an apron and took to Croatia to work as a chef on an array of yachts, realizing she couldn’t see herself doing anything else.

Olivia often draws on knowledge from her experiences traveling to create delicious meals for her guests. Likewise, to further her excitement and knowledge around cooking with local ingredients, she completed the course and received her Yacht Chef certificate at Ashburton. Olivia loves sharing her keenness for the outdoors with others, engaging in activities such as kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. Moreover, she loves nothing more than bringing people together and impressing them with both the taste and presentation of her meals.
