Chef Michelle brings energy, creativity, and a love for the sea to every charter. With a professional background in distribution and logistics, she built a career marked by organization, precision, and efficiency.

That bold leap allowed her to combine her adventurous spirit with her culinary talents, which she refined through training at the Superyacht Culinary Academy. In the galley, Michelle is known for her ability to craft menus that are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. She delights in tailoring meals to guest preferences, drawing inspiration from local ingredients and international cuisines.

Life at sea is a natural fit for Michelle, where her days now revolve around cooking, snorkeling, island-hopping, and sharing her love of the ocean with guests.

  • Guest Comments

  • Best Week spent with the Best Crew

  • Our week in the BVls aboard Rum Runner with Captain Christjan and Chef Cleona was nothing short of incredible. This was our second charter, and it far exceeded every expectation we had.
    Captain Christjan was outstanding his knowledge of the islands, thoughtful itinerary planning, and professionalism made the entire experience seamless, while still keeping things fun and relaxed. We always felt like we were in the best hands.
    Chef Cleona absolutely blew us away with her cooking. Every meal from breakfast to lunch to dinner was delicious and beautifully prepared. Her special South African dessert was such a unique and memorable touch!
    Together, they made the perfect team. They anticipated every need with a smile and truly made us feel cared for the entire week. By the end of the trip, they felt more like family than crew.
    To call this trip "perfect" almost doesn't do it justice. If you're considering a charter in the BVls, this is the team you want. We're already looking forward to booking again and hope to be back onboard with Christjan and Cleona!

  • Family Fun

  • We have been chartering boats for the past 5 years. This year we booked with Authentic and it was amazing.
    We have two families and spend 7 nights on the water. Chrisjan and Cleona our captain and chef took amazing care of both families. We saw all the sites and wasn't disappointed about with one thing. Highly recommend.
    Very professional, very clean and amazing food.

  • Blue water and fun times

  • We just got back from a 10 day cruise throughout the BVI's. We traveled with our daughter and son- in- law's family. It was a great and fun trip and we made lots of wonderful memories and saw many beautiful sights.
    Captain Chrisjan and his beautiful and charming wife, Chef Cleona, made sure we were very comfortable while sailing with them on the "Rum Runner". I cannot say enough about Chrisjan and Cleona. They are a decent, caring, fun loving and kknowledgeable couple. I couldn't have ask for a better trip. Being with family, on a beautiful boat, with a fun crew, outstanding food and drink and cruising the BVI's...wow! 

    Sorry Authentic Yacht Charters, we adopted your Captain and chef.

    Can't wait to do it again! Thank you for making dreams come true.
