Michelle is from The kingdom of Eswatini, a small landlocked country in Southern Africa. She began her yachting career in Fort Lauderdale,Florida in 2015. Initially hoping to have a gap year abroad, she fell in love with the ocean and over a decade later she still continues to enjoy a life at sea. She spends most of the year in the Bahamas with her fiancee, Mitch, and cherishes their summers in Alaska! She’s passionate about cooking, reading, hiking and catching fish.
Mitch was born in Omaha, Nebraska and grew up with varying surroundings of the cornfields of Iowa and the rocky coasts of Northern California. After pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology Mitch relocated to the Florida Keys, where he continued to expand his passion for diving and wildlife understanding as a whole. This eventually led him to yachting and what has now been nearly a decade of working on the water, alongside his fiancé Michelle. As a USCG 200T captain, Mitch’s favorite part of his work is creating and sharing “experience of a lifetime” moments for guests.
