CAPTAIN-
Meet Captain Callum Henderson—a true adventurer whose love for the sea began in the wild Scottish Hebrides, where his family spent summers exploring a new island on every trip. Never repeating a destination, Callum’s formative memories are full of rugged landscapes, daring exploration, and even waking up to a tent full of water (more than once!). Those early days set him on a course for a thrilling career at sea.

Callum has sailed the world, from circumnavigating Italy to conquering the North Sea, and his technical sailing skills have made him a standout. His passion for the craft led him to become an instructor, where he’s trained new skippers and even built his own offshore racing team. Whether it's guiding a crew through the sun-soaked Balearic Islands or navigating Norway’s dramatic fjords, Callum brings expertise and excitement to every voyage.

Now, he’s ready to make waves in the Bahamas! Captain Callum thrives on sharing his knowledge and helping others fall in love with sailing. From mastering the sails to finding hidden anchorages, he’s all about creating unforgettable experiences.

CHEF-
Meet Chef Florence Singer—a passionate sailor and culinary adventurer with a flair for bringing people together over incredible meals! Florence’s journey began at just twelve years old when she and her dad braved the chilly English Channel to earn their sailing licenses. From there, she set sail for the Mediterranean, turning family adventures into a lifelong love of the sea.

While studying English Literature at Durham and Cambridge, Florence found a way to blend her academic pursuits with her passion for travel and sailing. She spent four months exploring South America and soon began running professional sailing charters in Greece, guiding groups through stunning island chains. Florence thrives on organizing unforgettable trips—whether it’s getting forty guests to bond over a lively cocktail-making competition or creating magical group dinners that feel like a family feast.

Her love for cooking runs deep, inspired by her talented parents who always made mealtimes special. Florence carries that tradition forward, using fresh ingredients and flavors picked up from her travels to craft nourishing, authentic meals that connect people. Whether she’s whipping up vibrant dishes bursting with color or mixing cocktails that keep the conversation flowing, Florence brings joy, energy, and a true sense of togetherness to every table.

Ready to experience a shared meal like no other? With Chef Florence at the helm, you’re in for an unforgettable, flavorful journey!
