A passionate ocean lover, Harry has been a certified SCUBA diver since age 17 and an instructor for over three years. He enjoys taking guests to vibrant reef systems and historic wrecks, sharing the unique marine life and stories of each cruising area. For Harry, the best part of skippering is discovering new destinations and uncovering hidden gems. Whether it's a secluded bay, a thriving reef, or a laid-back beach bar, he's always seeking out special places to share with guests.

Her passion for cooking has always been part of her travels, whenever she visits somewhere new she immerses herself in local food traditions. After taking a break from her career as a software engineer to travel the world, Kristen's cooking career began during the pandemic when she worked as a chef at an eco-lodge in Colombia, preparing farm to table plant based meals. She later spent summers in Costa Rica at wellness retreats creating health-conscious meals. While building an app to teach sourdough baking, she was able to learn the skill on her own and now she loves finding a way to incorporate sourdough in any baked goods. Now, Kristen has combined her two passions of cooking and the ocean. She's excited to share her love of healthy and nourishing cuisine with her guests.
