Crew Profile

David Crawford Esterson
Growing up in the South of England I was bought up being on the water; around motor and sailing boats from a very young age. I started out at our local dinghy club and moved onto being involved in yacht racing and helping build performance yachts. All this experience from my childhood started my extensive career in yachting. Having accumulated over 100,000 nautical miles on both motor and sailing boats, my respect for the ocean is immense. I am at my happiest on the water and providing a service to the clients we have on aboard.

Having been based out of the Caribbean and the USA for the past 4 years, I am very excited to be looking for the next opportunity in either the familiar waters of the Caribbean, Mediterranean or adventures further afield.

Chef Flora Pickard
I am an experienced and high performing Executive Culinary Professional. Throughout my 20 year career with boats I have developed and refined a unique set of skills that will afford me the ability to understand my principles and their preferences. I enjoy creating new dishes and offering a wide variety of culinary styles. I excel in producing memorable events from theme parties to formal dining experiences.
