CAPTAIN
Brooke Johnson
Captain Brooke was born an adventurer, and since the age of 18, she has been working in the yachting industry around the world, providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience to all her guests onboard. Her ambition to become a captain was realized in 2020, and in 2022, when she finally took the helm and began delivering tailored, all-inclusive charters, she knew she had found her passion: people, sailing, and the ocean.
She is an avid sailor, having trained as a new skipper around the fabled Cape of Storms off the coast of South Africa, to completing a mammoth 56-day trans-Atlantic voyage, where sailing experience is your greatest asset. The stories of her adventures are sure to leave guests on the edge of their seats—with a few good laughs in between.
The first time she sailed the beautiful azure waters of the Caribbean, she knew it was where she belonged. From taking guests on guided dives and snorkeling the treasure caves of Norman Island, to sailing three hours to the magical island of Anegada, and ending the day with captain’s cocktails and breathtaking sunsets—every moment is an adventure.
The British Virgin Islands have become a place she calls home, and with Captain Brooke at the helm, your week is sure to be one you won’t soon forget.

CHEF
Kate Brittain
After seven years working in the corporate world of private equity, I am
now pursuing a long-held passion for food, travel, and life at sea through a
career as a yacht chef. Though I’m new to the yachting industry, I bring a
strong work ethic, a genuine love for hospitality, and a diverse cultural
background that has shaped both my worldview and my approach to food.
Born in the Cotswolds and currently based in London, I also spent four
formative years living in Singapore as a child. This early exposure to a wide
range of cuisines and cultures sparked my fascination with global flavors
and ignited my desire to explore the world—something I’ve continued to do
through extensive personal travel. These experiences have given me a deep
appreciation for the connection between food and culture, and a curiosity
that I bring into the kitchen.
During school and university, I worked part-time in hospitality, including
roles at a busy gastropub and with a high-end private catering company. In
both, I supported food service and also assisted with food preparation,
developing a practical understanding of kitchen operations, service
excellence, and working under pressure.
To formalize my transition into yachting, I recently completed a two-week
yacht chef training course in Mallorca with Anchor & Apron. The course
covered galley operations, provisioning, food safety, and producing high-
quality, beautifully plated meals at sea. It confirmed not only my capability
but also my passion for this career path.
Beyond the galley, I have always felt a strong connection to the ocean, demonstrated by completing my Advanced PADI scuba certification.
