Stefan and Chloe - a BVI boatshow best in show runners-up crew couple - are intuitive creators of extraordinary health and wellness journeys. They have 7 years’ charter experience together and have been loving, living and sailing together since the day they met; 15 years ago outside a supermarket in Bali at midnight! They have clocked up enough miles to circumnavigate the globe a couple of times and stopped counting miles or dives years ago. They sailed their own yacht from Australia to the Caribbean before joining the world of crewed yachting.
Stefan, Chloe and the rest of their crew orchestrate a beautiful oasis for ultimate relaxation with your friends and family onboard Kings Ransom. Everything they do reflects their core values of integrity, heart-led communication, humility, excellence and authenticity. They offer a wide range of client-centred fun and uplifting activities aboard for guests to choose from - from watersports, such as e-foiling, diving and wakeboarding – to daily yoga practice, breathwork and icebaths (Chloe is a yogini with over 20 years’ experience). The crew love hosting dinner parties, underwater games, treasure hunts, murder mysteries, sip & paint, chocolate & rum tasting, fish ID challenges, trivia nights, horse-riding along the beach or even bonfire barbeques. The unique atmosphere curated aboard means that guests arrive as clients but leave as lifelong friends. If you are celebrating an extra-special occasion such as an engagement, anniversary or birthday and want a unique charter experience, Kings Ransom is definitely the right pick for you!
