Crew profile

Captain/Engineer: Jason Holt
Jason is no stranger to the charter industry or the water. He holds a Master of Yachts, a Fly Boarding Instructor, Dive Instructor, Commercial Diver, and Engineering and Diesel Training. He is a keen Fisherman who loves water sports and kite surfing. He hails from South Africa but has made the British Virgin Islands his home for many years. Jason has extensive experience on Motor Yachts, both private and charter, with a long stint on the Charter Motor Yacht Unbridled. We feel privileged to have Jason on our team with his wide breadth of skills from Engineering to White Yacht Service.

First Mate/Dive Instructor: Simeon Korfanty
Simeon hails from Scotland and has been part of the yachting and SCUBA community for over two decades. Beginning his service as a Deckhand, he now holds an IYT Master of Yachts Unlimited certificate. With over 4700 dives, he is just as comfortable under the surface as he is sailing on top.

He completed a solo voyage sailing around the Caribbean, covering 4000 km (2500 miles) on board an 8,23 m (27’) Albin Vega, where he indulged some of his other maritime interests, such as spearfishing and freediving. Having worked on a variety of yachts (private and charter) up to 119 meters (390’5”) in length, covering the Caribbean, Bahamas, Europe, and Iceland, he is returning to his sailing roots in the British Virgin Islands charter world, ready to share everything the islands have to offer.

In his spare time, Simeon likes to exercise (kettlebells are his favored discipline) and holds certificates in various forms of personal training.

Chef: Jessica Muller
Chef Jess found her love for food and creating mouthwatering dishes during her first couple of trips hosting guests onboard charter yachts in the Caribbean. She quickly realized this was where she wanted to put her roots down and become a professional chef onboard luxury charter yachts. She completed multiple short cooking courses to further her knowledge, including a Plant base course with Leiths London and a yacht chef course with Ashburton. Jess is experienced in various culinary styles and cuisines that include and are not limited to Vegan, Plant-Based, Mediterranean, and local Caribbean dishes. Jessica was part of our award-winning crew at BOTH the BVI and USVI Yacht Shows in November 2022 onboard Seaclusion, a Sunreef 80, and she stayed with us but moved over to Mariah Princess III in the spring of 2023. Jess is off to Bali in September 2023 to take a Yoga Instructor course with our Stew Lucie! She is also scheduled to take a Thai cooking course this off-season as well. We are going to have a chef balancing on her head making even more amazing dishes next season

Stewardess:  Lucie le Lann
Lucie hails from Brittany on the west coast of France with a background in corporate and information systems in Africa and Guadeloupe. She took a leap of faith and moved to Guadeloupe approximately five years ago, where she was self-employed, creating decorative objects with collected driftwood, sea shells, jewelry, and accessories. She has always wanted to work on a sailing yacht and recently completed her STCW, ENG 1, mixology, and superyacht stewardess courses to prepare for Mariah Princess this season. In her spare time, she likes Surfing, Windsurfing, Running, Hiking, Cooking, and Crafts.
