Crew Info:
Originally from South Africa, Kirsten discovered her passion for the ocean through scuba diving at a young age. Her love for the sea led her to pursue a career on the water, eventually becoming a qualified RYA Offshore Yachtmaster and PADI Staff Instructor. She began her journey as a captain running fishing charters in South Africa before relocating to the Caribbean in 2023 in search of warmer waters and new adventures. Now based in the British Virgin Islands, Kirsten specializes in luxury charters and has sailed extensively throughout the Lesser Antilles. Whether navigating turquoise bays or introducing guests to the vibrant underwater world, Kirsten brings experience, professionalism, and a genuine love for the ocean to every charter. She believes that being on the water is about freedom, connection, and a deep respect for nature.
Cova is a proud native of Málaga in southern Spain with a deep-rooted passion for the ocean. Her love for the sea led her to embrace a life filled with adventure, discovery and the pursuit of culinary excellence. Since 2018, Cova has been fully immersed in a variety of ocean-centric passions—surfing, fishing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and of course, cooking.
Cooking has been in her blood since childhood, inspired by the rich Mediterranean flavors and the timeless recipes passed down from her grandmother and mother. She aims to keep their culinary traditions alive by adding her own touch to the vibrant and flavorful Mediterranean
cuisine she serves on board.
Though her academic background includes a Bachelor's in Social Sciences and a Master’s in Governance, in 2022, she embarked on her sailing journey and hasn’t looked back. Over the course of 8 exhilarating months, she has sailed from Grenada to the Bahamas, refining her seamanship and deepening her connection with the sea. Cova has also worked as a stew/deckhand in Saint Tropez and successfully crossed the Atlantic in December 2023—an unforgettable adventure that further fueled her passion for the oceanic lifestyle.
Cova's journey is far from over. She is currently honing her sailing skills, aiming to become a certified Yachtmaster. Every day on the water is a chance to learn, grow and savor the freedom that the ocean offers.
