Being from Cape Town, South Africa, the ocean has always been something I have been drawn to. With a year living on board a vessel and traveling the Caribbean, and two Atlantic crossings under the belt; I knew sailing had to be my career choice. That is when I found the British Virgin Islands. After spending over nine years in the BVI, I now consider this beautiful sanctuary home. I have operated small monohulls to large catamarans, and strive to give guests vacations of a lifetime with safety being my main priority. I feel so privileged to show guests why I fell in love with these islands and how they are truly nature's little secret.
Chef Ashley
Hi !! My name is Ashley and I'm a charter yacht chef currently working in the Caribbean. Originally from South Africa, I bring a global perspective to the galley, shaped by my travels, cultural roots, and passion for fresh flavorful food.
This is my first season in the Caribbean and have I’ve already completed 25 successful charters with more on the way. Before arriving here, I spent multiple seasons sailing across the Mediterranean, where I developed a strong foundation in Mediterranean cuisine and learned the art of adapting to different tastes and charter styles.
Growing up in South Africa gave me a deep appreciation for bold, diverse flavors, and that passion continues to fuel my creativity in The kitchen. Traveling has been my greatest teacher, and I love exploring new cultures through food – each destination adds something unique to my culinary approach.
I’m excited to be apart of this vibrant community and look forward to connecting with brokers, crew, and other professionals through out the season. If you see me around or want to reach out, id love meet, share stories, or just talk food and travel!
Captain Devon's expertise of the islands was impeccable. He planned our trip to fit perfectly with our families desires. We had the perfect amount of relaxation and exploration that we wanted, while also diving into the local culture and stunning scenery. He explained everything very thoroughly each day and answered the billion questions we all had with a smile on his face. He ensured we were all comfortable and taken care of. His sense of humor also fit in perfectly with the family. So much so that he was invited to the family wedding taking place on Tortola. We never felt uneasy about anything the entire trip because we knew we were in such great hands.
Chef Ashley's food was also impeccable. It fit the needs of everyone, and she even went out of her way to ensure our pickiest eaters were more than satisfied, even after they told her not to worry about it. Her food choices were all delectable, fresh, and alternated throughout the vacation, so it was always something new, and literally every single thing she made was the most delicious food we have ever experienced. She also was invited to the family wedding as she fit in with our family so perfectly as well. We have all asked for her recipes, and have all be striving to make similar things that she made since the trip because we all loved it so much.
We have all told both Devon and Ashley they have got to keep in touch and come visit because we enjoyed and loved them so much. They are part of the family now. The trip would have been incredible no matter what, but it was even more so memorable because of them. We hope to see them both soon and take another trip with them again down the road. - Sarah
Captain Devon + Chef Ashley

I have made it to the BVIs 3 times before this trip. I decided to have my family experience such a wonderful journey. I never thought it could possibly be the best trip ever! This was truly such an awesome experience. Captain Devon and Chef Ashley were so fantastic. I can’t express enough how awesome Captain Devon made my families experience. He really made this journey one that will be hard to top, if even possible. Devon was exceptional. He explained everything and everywhere we were going or went very clearly. He was super organized, checked in on us and kept a watchful eye at all times. I cannot express enough how comfortable and safe we all felt. WOW!!!

Nick & Ashley were so much fun. I love how they really enjoy what they do and made our time on board unforgettable. I hope we get to sail with them together again soon! Jaymie & Rio
We had the most amazing time aboard Epiphany with Nick and Angella. The sailing was fun and Nick was so patient with our 10 year old son who was in love with boating. The food was amazing. Every meal was above and beyond delicious. We were amazed we could eat so good on a boat. Everything was always kept neat and clean with ice restocked daily. The trip was perfect. We will miss it! - The Jeffries, WIlliams and Lostein families
We cannot overstate our appreciation for Angella's attention, hard work, and both tasty and beautiful culinary results. Our trip diary will include many photographs of her food because her plating was often gorgeous. To start, we were not an easy group to cook for. We had a number of dietary restrictions, and one especially picky eater. Angella cooked exactly to our needs, always conscientious to exclude or substitute particulars for the picky one. Angella was extremely well organized, enabling her to pack her boat with appropriate fresh fruits and vegetables for a 21 meal week. What she churned out of a limited boat kitchen was extremely impressive. Dishes were extrememly diverse, ranging from Thai lemongrass soup to chocolate lava cake to ceviche tacos with fried sweet potatoes and tzatziki sauce (trust us, it was a fantastic combinations!)
When Angella wasn't actively cooking (and cooking took up many hours daily), she was actively researching recipes, preparing cooking notes, tidying up the boat, and asking what else she might prepare for us. Between the three hefty meals a day, she brought out cheese platters, veggies and dips, and now her famous mojitos. In other words, Angella was busy from early mornings to late at night kitchen clean ups. Probably most appreciated was Angella's always friendly nature and welcoming smile. Angella was the star of the boat. - Stacy Raviv
Angella, You have made our family vacation very special in so many ways. Your smile, easy personality and remarkable culinary skills are amazing! Delicious meals every day!
Nick, Words can't describe how you made our trip in every way! From greeting us, making us fell comfortable and safe, then always making our group have the best time. You are very special and have a wonderful trait of engagement and warmth. Happy Sailing, The Murphy Family
Marlon
Thank you for making our trip simply wonderful! We were able to relax, laugh, enjoy quiet time and see BVI under your stewardship. We pray you have a great season and bless the people around you and may they bless you as well. With love, Sheri and Kevin
Kishee,
Thank you for all the wonderful meals and service on our trip. You blessed us in many ways. We pray you have a great season and are blessed by those you encounter. With love, Kevin, Sheri, Rebecca, Jon, Jeff and Jamie
Respect! Suzi and Jay, Jamie and Jeff.
Thank you! Rebecca and Jon

Captain Devon's expertise of the islands was impeccable. He planned our trip to fit perfectly with our families desires. We had the perfect amount of relaxation and exploration that we wanted, while also diving into the local culture and stunning scenery. He explained everything very thoroughly each day and answered the billion questions we all had with a smile on his face. He ensured we were all comfortable and taken care of. His sense of humor also fit in perfectly with the family. So much so that he was invited to the family wedding taking place on Tortola. We never felt uneasy about anything the entire trip because we knew we were in such great hands.
Chef Ashley's food was also impeccable. It fit the needs of everyone, and she even went out of her way to ensure our pickiest eaters were more than satisfied, even after they told her not to worry about it. Her food choices were all delectable, fresh, and alternated throughout the vacation, so it was always something new, and literally every single thing she made was the most delicious food we have ever experienced. She also was invited to the family wedding as she fit in with our family so perfectly as well. We have all asked for her recipes, and have all be striving to make similar things that she made since the trip because we all loved it so much.
We have all told both Devon and Ashley they have got to keep in touch and come visit because we enjoyed and loved them so much. They are part of the family now. The trip would have been incredible no matter what, but it was even more so memorable because of them. We hope to see them both soon and take another trip with them again down the road. - Sarah

Thank you for making our first experience on a charter a wonderful experience. Your level of care and expertise will be remembered for many years to come. We had an awesome time from beginning to end. Truly loved every minute. We shall return. John and Renee
I have made it to the BVIs 3 times before this trip. I decided to have my family experience such a wonderful journey. I never thought it could possibly be the best trip ever! This was truly such an awesome experience. Captain Devon and Chef Ashley were so fantastic. I can’t express enough how awesome Captain Devon made my families experience. He really made this journey one that will be hard to top, if even possible. Devon was exceptional. He explained everything and everywhere we were going or went very clearly. He was super organized, checked in on us and kept a watchful eye at all times. I cannot express enough how comfortable and safe we all felt. WOW!!!

Nick & Ashley were so much fun. I love how they really enjoy what they do and made our time on board unforgettable. I hope we get to sail with them together again soon! Jaymie & Rio
We had the most amazing time aboard Epiphany with Nick and Angella. The sailing was fun and Nick was so patient with our 10 year old son who was in love with boating. The food was amazing. Every meal was above and beyond delicious. We were amazed we could eat so good on a boat. Everything was always kept neat and clean with ice restocked daily. The trip was perfect. We will miss it! - The Jeffries, WIlliams and Lostein families
We cannot overstate our appreciation for Angella's attention, hard work, and both tasty and beautiful culinary results. Our trip diary will include many photographs of her food because her plating was often gorgeous. To start, we were not an easy group to cook for. We had a number of dietary restrictions, and one especially picky eater. Angella cooked exactly to our needs, always conscientious to exclude or substitute particulars for the picky one. Angella was extremely well organized, enabling her to pack her boat with appropriate fresh fruits and vegetables for a 21 meal week. What she churned out of a limited boat kitchen was extremely impressive. Dishes were extrememly diverse, ranging from Thai lemongrass soup to chocolate lava cake to ceviche tacos with fried sweet potatoes and tzatziki sauce (trust us, it was a fantastic combinations!)
When Angella wasn't actively cooking (and cooking took up many hours daily), she was actively researching recipes, preparing cooking notes, tidying up the boat, and asking what else she might prepare for us. Between the three hefty meals a day, she brought out cheese platters, veggies and dips, and now her famous mojitos. In other words, Angella was busy from early mornings to late at night kitchen clean ups. Probably most appreciated was Angella's always friendly nature and welcoming smile. Angella was the star of the boat. - Stacy Raviv
Angella, You have made our family vacation very special in so many ways. Your smile, easy personality and remarkable culinary skills are amazing! Delicious meals every day!
Nick, Words can't describe how you made our trip in every way! From greeting us, making us fell comfortable and safe, then always making our group have the best time. You are very special and have a wonderful trait of engagement and warmth. Happy Sailing, The Murphy Family
Marlon

Respect! Suzi and Jay, Jamie and Jeff.
