Your crew aboard ReAction, Shaun and Kelsey are a lovely young couple who share a love for the outdoors and a caring and conscientious attitude towards their guests. They are both keen divers and have an intimate knowledge of the islands above and below water. They take pride in tailoring your daily itinerary to the needs and desires of each group for your perfect vacation.
Shaun's passion for sailing began during his childhood in the beautiful ocean-side city of Durban, South Africa. As a child, he took advantage of every opportunity he could to be on the water- from dinghy racing in school, to keel boat racing at the weekends and deliveries up and down the coast of South Africa. After spending 2 years abroad, he could no longer resist the pull of the ocean and began his career as a professional captain in the charter industry. Since then he has travelled everywhere from the East Coast of the US, to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Shaun's love of boats, however, is not just in the sailing. He also spent some time working as a boat builder in Antigua, which has given him an in-depth knowledge of the finer points of a yacht and how to keep it looking its best. Shaun is an MCA Commercially endorsed Yachtmaster and is a PADI Divemaster.
Shaun is always happy to let you take a turn at the helm and try your hand at sailing, he loves to show people his favorite snorkeling spots and after a day of fun in the sun, why not sit back and relax with one of his signature captain's cocktails with a delicious appetizer from Kelsey's kitchen.
Born and raised in one of the Caribbean's most prominent yacht havens, Antigua, Kelsey is no stranger to the industry. Her grandfather, Desmond Nicholson, sailed from England to Antigua with his family at the end of the Second World War and pioneered the yacht charter industry. Growing up on a Caribbean island, Kelsey was lucky enough to spend as much time in the water as out, and has been swimming and sailing for as long as she can remember. After working as a sushi chef on land, a charter chef on day sail yachts and even as a snorkel guide in Alaska, it was a natural progression for Kelsey, when she met Shaun, to work together with him as chef/first mate of a charter yacht. Kelsey's passion for cooking began during her childhood and has developed into a profession over the last 5 years. Kelsey takes pride in preparing food that is as beautiful as it is delicious and specializes in seafood and Caribbean style cooking with lots of color and lots of flavor.
Together Shaun and Kelsey make an exceptionally enthusiastic and upbeat team. They treat all their guests as VIPs and look forward to welcoming you onboard ReAction. It is their absolute pleasure to make sure that your vacation is both a wonderful adventure and a relaxing break that you will always remember.
So whether you want an action-packed adventure or a relaxing break from daily life, a trip onboard ReAction will be the vacation of a lifetime! |
