Chef/First Mate

Marisia Van Niekerk

South Africa · English

Qualifications STCW Food and hygiene course Stewardess course Growing up in Cape Town, with big waves and strong winds. Every Sunday morning you would find myfamily and I on the beach. We'd spend our time body surfing. Seeing the waves as challenges, conquering the fear of the size, reading the waves by moving with them, letting our bodies adapt to the cold waters and focusing our minds on controlling our breathing Sundays were my favorite, for the ocean taught me things I didn't learn in school. When challenges come I treat them like a wave. Observe, evaluate, learn and take it on head strong. Our story starts in the heart of South Africa in a small town called Potchefstroom. Marisia was studying hairdressing and Ivan just got back from working at sea on a 130ft motor yacht as Deckhand/Dive master. We quickly bonded over our love for the ocean and meeting new people. We soon decided to move down west to old Cape Town herself, where Marisia continued studying and Ivan went back to sea on an 86ft M/Y Nordhavn as First Mate/Engineer/Relief Captain in Fort Lauderdale. Marisia loved doing hair but now it was time for her other love, the ocean. She began studying the laws of the sea and learning everything she could about life onboard, soon she was ready to join Ivan. We have been sailing the Caribbean for a year now having the opportunity to care for 10 Guests on board our 60ft Fontaine Pajot. We pride ourselves on serving them with high standards. We love creating the perfect holiday, sailing only to the best places -from the most famous bars to untouched secluded bays.
