James Turl – Master – Born in Canada, raised in the B.V.I’s. I have spent most of my life at sea and enjoy everything that comes along with being on the water, from watersports to deep sea fishing and everything in between. As a maritime professional, I got my start in the industry at a very young age and have stuck with it for the long haul, from Deckhand to Mate/Engineer and on to Master on a variety of different vessels. Professionalism, safety, and guest experience are all extremely important aboard M/Y Phoenix. Our program’s goal is to show our guests the truly natural and untouched beauty of our cruising areas and have as much fun as possible along the way. Looking forward to having you onboard!

Dana Troskie – Chief Stewardess – Born and raised in South Africa.

Before I became a Stewardess I was working as a 3D fashion designer. I am also passionate about molecular gastronomy, aka food and cocktails! My biggest inspiration is Heston Blumenthal. Hopefully, we will have the pleasure of having you onboard.
