Displayed rates do not confirm availability — your broker verifies current dates for your party before anything is held. Many crewed yachts run on fixed weekly turnarounds, most commonly Saturday-to-Saturday or Sunday-to-Sunday, though the exact turnaround day and availability vary by yacht, destination and season.
Published rates are subject to availability and confirmation. Your broker will confirm the final charter rate, inclusions and any yacht-specific taxes or fees before booking.
The Crew
MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: Dale Christelis
STEWARDESS: Cassidy Frieling
Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Dale has always had a serious case of the ocean bug. After completing his Divemaster qualification in 2011, he quickly realised that life on the water was where he belonged.
Following university and a few adventures in the business world, Dale decided to swap the office for the ocean and dive headfirst into the yachting industry. Since 2018, he’s been working extensively in chartering across the Caribbean, Central America and the South Pacific — collecting plenty of sea miles and even more stories along the way.
Dale is a massive people person and is passionate about creating an incredible guest experience. He loves getting to know his guests, building genuine relationships and putting together unique itineraries and experiences that turn a great trip into an unforgettable one.
As a dive instructor and avid freediver, he has a passion for marine life and being under and on the water. As Director of fun and good times, Dale is onboard and standing by.
Born and raised in Colorado, Cassidy’s love for the water started in an unexpected place — learning to scuba dive in the Rocky Mountains! After moving to Florida for college, she studied Animal Studies with a minor in Marine Science, turning her love for animals and the ocean into a lifestyle.
Her adventures have taken her from training bottlenose dolphins in Roatán to getting up close and personal with tiger sharks at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas. After college, the goal was simple: see the world, dive as much as possible, and find a way to make the ocean part of everyday life — which led her to the yachting industry.
For the past five years, Cassidy has worked across dive boats, live-aboards, and yachts, combining her love of the ocean with a career that lets her explore it.
When she’s not on deck or helping guests, you’ll most likely find Cassidy underwater identifying fish, paddle-boarding, chasing the next dive site, or learning to surf. She’s always up for trying something new, and learning to kite-surf is definitely on the bucket list!
Equal parts ocean nerd and adventure seeker, Cassidy is happiest anywhere there’s saltwater, sunshine, and something exciting to explore.
Four years ago, in the Bahamas, Dale and Cassidy met while working aboard a dive liveaboard. It didn’t take long for these two to realize they’d found a pretty great teammate — both in and out of the water!
What started as a chance meeting quickly turned into a shared adventure, and they decided to pursue a career together. Three years later, they’re still going strong as a true power crew couple, dazzling guests and keeping the good times rolling onboard.
Both captains and dive instructors, Dale and Cassidy bring the perfect mix of experience, adventure and fun to the job. Whether they’re behind the helm, underwater exploring, or making sure everyone onboard is having an unforgettable time, these two are happiest when they’re sharing the adventure together.
