Yacht for Charter
AEOLUS 77

Keith was first introduced to the global maritime world at 18 when he worked as a young ship broker in his hometown of Melbourne. Later, after finishing a degree in Sustainable Development Keith worked as a construction project manager until 23 when he discovered the yachting industry whilst sailing the Caribbean on a 40ft sloop. The hook was set, and Keith went all-in on his growing passion for the ocean and sailing. An avid diver and scuba instructor, he loves showing guests the underwater world and is eager to teach all, regardless of experience. A purveyor of high quality stories, with 7 years in the yachting industry Keith has a few to share. From racing Schooner’s across the French channel, to sailing a famous Perini around the Balearics, boat building in Melbourne or cruising the eastern seaboard from Savannah to Martha’s Vineyard. Keith's favorite part about skippering on yachts is hunting for unique bays and the little hidden gems of the islands; from the best beach bars to reef full of life that can only be reached by boat and discovered with a mask and snorkel.

Casey, born and raised in Florida, has always been happiest when on the water. After specializing in hospitality and event management at the University of Florida, she worked at luxury, all-inclusive golf resorts before transitioning into residential real estate. After years of the work grind, she decided adventure was waiting for her. She left behind the "norm " and caught the travel bug-bad! Before deciding to call the Caribbean home, she was a nomad traveling the world experiencing the kindness of strangers, new cultures and all things food! She is a foodie through and through and her passion for food began at a young age always cooking and baking with her mom in the kitchen. She loves incorporating all different cuisines and focuses on cooking fresh and healthy dishes incorporating local delicacies with the freshest produce. She has been a yacht chef and hostess in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Last year she attended Ashburton Culinary School Yacht Chef Program in England to hone her skills!

I grew up on the coast of Hermanus, South Africa, where we are surrounded by nature. Mountains and forest on the one side and a rough and cold ocean on the other. From a young age I’ve been a lover for the ocean and its thrills. Whether it is surfing, free diving or spearfishing I always enjoyed being in the water. After I completed school, I received the opportunity to start a 1 year internship at Neptune’s Divers and cruises, After the year was over I received a permanent position as sole deckhand and divemaster for 4 years. The fact that my office is on top and underneath the ocean makes me extremely happy. This is what drew me towards yachting, I just love being around or in the big blue sea.

I was born in Gauteng, but I grew up in the vibrant Western Cape, South Africa. I have a passion for mother nature as I have always been in/on or around mountains and the ocean. My father always dreamt that I would work in the yachting industry as he was a huge lover of sailing. We would go out sailing with his friends at any opportunity. After completing school, I moved from Cape Town to Onrus/ Hermanus and started working in the hospitality industry. After a few years I met my life partner, who shares the same passions as I do. We then decided to start our journey together in yachting. We continue to stay dedicated and determined to learn and grow within this industry and run successful charters.
