Nationality: US
Languages: English, Afrikaans

Hailing from Virginia Beach, VA, Amanda was born and raised by the sea, and introduced to the water at an early age at her grandparents’ lake house and also sailing the Chesapeake on her uncle’s sloop. This inspired her to take to a life on the sea after college brought her to Florida. She has spent the last five years working on sailing catamarans, which have taken her from the U.S. East Coast across the Atlantic, through the Med, and feeling at home in ports all across the Caribbean.

All the while she developed her love of cooking and refined her culinary knowledge a few years back at the Ashburton Chef’s Academy in Devon, England.

She is passionate about healthy and delicious meals, trying to source only the best ingredients from local and organic sources. Her creative flair is always present working with what is available to provide comforting, wholesome, and satisfying fare with island infusions, and exciting flavors from different parts of the world. With knowledge of vegan and raw food traditions, stepping out of the box is easy for her to do. Although, catering traditional meals in a nutritious and delicious way is what she enjoys best!

As a PADI Rescue Diver, and watersports enthusiast, Amanda loves to encourage her guests in the water be it snorkeling, paddleboarding, wakeboarding, or kayaking! Her kind and gentle demeanor makes it easy for her to understand what guests need and want to make their vacation exemplary, all while they relax onboard in between unforgettable meals, sunsets, and their favorite sundowners!
