Captain Matthew Field
Nationality South African
License RYA Yachtmaster, PADI Divemaster, STCW
Languages Spoken English
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Matthew Field
CHEF: Klarisse Jordaan

Born and raised on South Africa’s Wild Coast, Matthew grew up with the ocean as his playground. His love for the sea began early, by age 12 he was already voyaging across the Indian Ocean, exploring the colorful shores of Madagascar, Thailand, and Malaysia. The following year, he was already working on sailing boats, combining his love for the sea with hands-on experience.
Now an RYA Yachtmaster with more than 13 years of yachting experience, Matthew has honed his skills sailing the rugged southern African coastline. Guests will find his calm, friendly nature and wealth of knowledge make him not only a capable captain, but also a welcoming host who ensures every journey is safe, smooth, and unforgettable.

Klarisse grew up on a farm in a small town in the middle of South Africa, where life was simple, hands-on, and full of flavor. She began cooking alongside my mom at the age of four, sparking a lifelong passion for food and hospitality. Although she doesn't have formal training, her skills have been shaped by real-world experience, curiosity, and a strong work ethic.

After finishing high school, Klarisse moved to Cape Town and quickly found her place in the hospitality scene. She worked as a bar manager and often stepped into the kitchen to help during busy services, gaining a deeper appreciation for teamwork, timing, and flavor. Her love of travel and adventure eventually led me into the world of yachting, where she worked as the sole stewardess aboard a 60ft yacht. That experience taught her resilience, precision, and how to create memorable experiences in unique and often demanding environments.

In her downtime, she enjoys staying active with regular workouts, discovering new places, and trying exotic and unusual foods. Klarisse also has a love for photography, especially capturing natural landscapes and spontaneous moments. While she is open-minded and easygoing, she is not a fan of jelly sweets or super long movies (the kind that feel like they need an intermission!).

She brings heart, hustle, and a creative edge to everything she does—and is always eager to learn more, try something new, and connect with people through shared experiences.

Matthew and Klarisse can't wait to share this amazing vacation and the Virgin Islands beautiful islands with you.
