Crew
CAPTAIN EVANNE
Evanne grew up in the Netherlands, near the water where she cruised the beautiful Dutch channels with her parents from a young age. Exploring coastal cities, islands, sailing, and water sports have been a big part of her life since she was young, making her happy and fostering her passion for the sea and everything related to it.
After graduating from International Hospitality Studies & Entrepreneurship, she jumped into the restaurant industry, working as a hostess, barista, and mixologist. Her passion for wine led her to the Wine Academy in Amsterdam, where she completed the Wine & Spirits Educational Trust. Over the next few years, she worked as a sommelier at various Michelin-starred restaurants in the Netherlands and Denmark, including Geranium, the World’s Best Restaurant of 2022.
Evanne’s love for the sea never faded, so she specialized in sailing and earned her RYA Yacht Master Offshore in South Africa. She gained valuable experience working with the Yacht Week in Croatia and Greece. During this time, she and her partner Stijn discovered the yachting industry and realized they wanted to turn their shared hobbies and passions into a profession. Evanne decided to leave her job as a sommelier to pursue her dreams in the STRA yachting industry as a skipper.
CHEF/MATE STIJN
Growing up in the south of the Netherlands, Stijn always had a passion for cooking. Even as a child, he knew that this was what he wanted to do. He started honing his skills early, taking lessons from top chefs and eventually graduating from The Cas Spijkers Academy, one of the best culinary schools in the Netherlands known for its French culinary techniques.
After graduation, Stijn dove straight into the world of Michelin-starred restaurants, refining his craft across the Netherlands. His culinary journey didn’t stop there, though. He ventured to Norway and Denmark, embracing Nordic cuisine and rising to a leading position at a restaurant in Denmark. But cooking wasn’t Stijn’s only love—he had a strong sense of adventure too. He traveled across Asia for a year, constantly seeking new experiences and flavors. Stijn’s adventures eventually led him to the Mediterranean, where he completed his first yachting season. Inspired by the experience, he decided to pursue private cooking in the British Virgin Islands. There, he cooked on estates and private islands like Necker Island and Moskito Island.
After another season in the Mediterranean, Stin is excited to return to the Virgin Islands, and T’RA is ready to continue his culinary journey on the water.

You outdid yourselves from the hospitality, itinerary and delicious food. We hope to cross paths with you again soon! Please stay in touch and find us in Annapolis!
April 2024 Charter-FamilyApr 20, 2024Successful TripWhen the lines between family and friends are blurred-you know the trip was a success! Thank you for an amazing trip. We can't wait to come back asap!
December 2023 Charter GuestsDec 17, 2023Could Have Stayed Another Week!
The yacht was in excellent condition. The cabins were comfortable. The crew was very knowledgeable, courteous, fun to be with and provided for an unforgettable positive experience. The captain was very knowledgeable about sailing in general but also had a lot of technical knowledge to fix things that required maintenance or repair. Top team!! We would charter again, book the same Yacht again, follow the crew onto another yacht. We used the paddle boards, the floating island, the tube & wakeboard. The crew knew excellent snorkeling locations. The meals were simply the best and exceeded expectations. Could have stayed for another week!June 2023 Charter GuestsJun 2, 2023Utmost ThanksThank you so much for the most amazing week. Our family, spanning grandparents, kids, grandkids, and of course in-laws had the greatest time. Your knowledge of everything - from the local seas, to the cooking capabilities, to our family's varying preferences on everything - made it an especially remarkable experience. We had the greatest time, all because of you two. We will share below some thoughts from our own children/grandchildren, to whom you were particularly amazing. With the utmost thanks and highest recommendation.
February 2023 Charter GuestsMar 26, 2023“Dreamy Week”Our family had a dreamy week on the crew were the most wonderful hosts, catering to our every need in the most comfortable, gracious manner. The boat accommodated us all so comfortably and was perfectly appointed so that we could take full advantage of relaxing among the natural beauty around us. We were so well taken care of from start to finish, from our fabulous itinerary, our sails, our excursions, and the amazing food and drinks, it was a week we will never forget. We are already thinking of when we get back on board!"
February 2023 Charter GuestsFeb 26, 2023Wonderful Trip!Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. It was a delightful experience, being your guests, and even more delightful having Alan and I aboard in great company. Highlights include many braids, a puffer fish, schools of fish, some bright purple coral, and the smell of maple butter pancakes via a candle, the white beaches and Foxy‘s! We will certainly be back for more!
July 2020 Charter GuestsJun 15, 2024Very ImpressedThe captain, was an absolute legend! Great wind awareness and sailing skills, he took the time to teach us a lot throughout the week. We had so much fun with him and the chef, both always smiling with an amazing ability to make you all feel like one big family. They make an awesome team on the boat. The chef went over and above with her hosting and made an incredible variety of fresh and delicious food - I was very impressed by the quality and variety and felt very lucky to have our own chef onboard, could not recommend them both enough.
