LEE ADAMS - Segundo Vent's captain

Lee grew up on the peninsula of Cape Town, South Africa. As a youngster and under the guidance of his Grandfather, Admiral Tom Hardiman SA Navy, he was introduced to sailing and racing in the Bay. His maiden voyage and ocean crossing from Cape Town to Antigua was aboard a racing sloop back in 1999. After several local regattas in the Carib, he was invited aboard the classic Schooner, The Tree of Life (with 8 manual sails). After an initial circumnavigation aboard, he took over as Captain.

Hello, My name is Lucy

With over 10 years of experience navigating the stunning waters of the Caribbean, particularly the British Virgin Islands, and the East Coast of the USA, I have honed my dual passions for sailing and gourmet cooking. My journey began by delivering boats from Cape Town to Australia, where I built the foundation of my sailing expertise. As a true thalassophile, my love for the ocean extends beneath the waves through scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling.

My culinary journey is as rich and diverse as my nautical one. I revel in the unique opportunity to craft exquisite, tailored menus for my guests aboard luxurious yachts. Each meal is a celebration of flavors, inspired by the diverse cuisines and fresh ingredients I encounter. Sharing sumptuous dining experiences and ensuring my guests feel pampered and delighted is my greatest joy.

When I'm not in the galley, I love exploring with my guests, whether hiking through scenic landscapes or snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to uncover hidden treasures of the sea. I believe in nurturing strength in both mind and body, and I achieve this by creating healthy, delicious meals that fuel our adventures.

As I embark on my final season of charter; Joining the beautiful yacht Segundo Viento, I am committed to making every moment extraordinary, drawing from my many fabulous years as a yacht chef. Following this season, I am excited to transition to my new venture, a private chef company based in the Caribbean, where I will continue to share my passion for culinary excellence.

I look forward to welcoming you on board and creating unforgettable experiences that combine the best of sea and cuisine. Let's make this voyage one to remember!
