Captain

David Meyer

United States · English

Capt. David has been on the water since as long as he can remember. Growing up in Central Illinois he spent his summers running boats on Lake Michigan, Lake of the Ozarks and the rivers of the eastern half of the United States. As his family migrated south he added the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Keys and Atlantic Ocean to his CV before he was fifteen. He ran his first 40 meter yacht at age nineteen and he knew at a very young age that his future was at sea. Since that time he’s run vessels up and down the East Coast and Bahamas. “In more than forty years of running private and commercial vessels of all sizes I have gained experience that only miles under the keel can give you. From storms at sea to the most amazing sunrises, sunsets and destinations, the sea brings something new and wonderful to each day. I make it my personal goal to give each guest the safest, most enjoyable experience possible. Capt. David is a veteran of the United States Navy and holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Norfolk State University and a Master of Business Administration from Grand Canyon University. He has also studied at Maritime Professional Training and Resolve Maritime Academy in Fort Lauderdale. When not at the helm you can find David traveling with his wife Arlene, or spending time with their three children and one grandchild

To me, they’re alive like children that are meant to be nurtured and brought to their fullest potential in the kitchen so my customers get to enjoy the stars that they really are.” Chef Arlene studied at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and studied International Business at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA.

Stewardess

Courtney Kemp

United States · English

My experience has been both land-based and on the water. Being born and raised in the Bahamas, I have an intimate knowledge and deep appreciation of the islands, our vibrant culture, and the plethora of exciting activities available to guests. I am passionate about my health and staying active outside of work duties. I am highly adaptable, a dedicated team player, and meticulous in my attention to detail. With a knack for multitasking, I excel in providing exceptional customer service and I am always eager to learn, especially in areas where I have less experience. My previous yachting experience encompasses solo stewardess and mate duties, including guest services, room turnovers, housekeeping, interior and exterior detailing, as well as handling lines and fenders, assisting with anchoring, tow lines, and launching beach toys. I hold a high standard for my performance and strive to provide guests with a fun, relaxing and memorable experience aboard.”
