travel that pushed him to sail a 40ft catamaran across the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Town, South Africa to Annapolis, Maryland at 18 years old. It was from there that he began his career on yachts. Taylor has encountered all sorts of weather and emergencies in his years of yachting, and carry’s a calm, collected and knowledgeable approach to any situation. This, along with his friendly demeanor has created a favorable reputation for Taylor in the super yachting industry. On his off time he can be found venturing the mountains in Maine or diving the reefs of Central America. Becoming a Captain at the age of 25 and becoming the Chief Engineer on a 146ft motor yacht at age 28, he now finds himself as the Captain/Engineer of JUS CHILL’N and welcomes you aboard.

For Chelsea, being a superb chef is in the blood. She has the great fortune to have a father who is a chef, currently running a restaurant in the UK. Chelsea grew up on the east coast of South Africa very close to the Mozambican border. Her dad was a big inspiration for her to become a professional chef. She learned his tricks of the trade, especially how to create amazing meals with simple ingredients. Raised on great food, in the kitchen of a pro, has made her a remarkable chef. Chelsea has always been eager for new challenges and experiences. She worked as a safari guide in the eastern cape of South Africa. (Ask her about injecting a wildebeest.) For Chelsea, being a chef is important, but so is getting to know the guests to help create an unforgettable vacation. She also loves fire spinning and maybe you’ll get to see her perform a private show for you under the stars.
