ALLEN MICHAEL POLKA | DECKHAND/DIVEMASTER | AMERICAN
Allen is originally from the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado, but he has traveled extensively around the world – from the lush rainforest of Ecuador to the volcanic islands of Indonesia. From an early age, Allen has been captivated by the ocean through the adventures of Jacques Cousteau and explorers from National Geographic. His passion for scuba diving and travel is the foundation that compelled him to become a PADI Divemaster and begin his career on yachts. Allen enjoys getting to know the guests and showing them the beauty of the ocean. He strives to make the guest’s time on board extremely comfortable and entertaining, hoping that they want to charter again. Prior to yachting, Allen spent 12 years working for industrial manufacturing, banking, and defense contractor companies. He speaks fluent Russian and is a proud parent of a 12 year old son.

MARGARET ABBETT | CHEF | AMERICAN
Born and raised in the Midwest, I developed a passion for cooking at a young age. I attended Culinary school, worked in several successful restaurants and have decided to take my passion to the sea! I love working with any and all types of cuisine, especially fresh fish. Besides having grown up with family values and a strong work ethic my ultimate goal is to put a smile on your face with food and perhaps make you think twice about something you may not have enjoyed in the past.
