Captain: Dani Andrews
Born and raised near the beaches of northeast Florida, Dani discovered a passion for the sea and travel early in life. Her journey in the maritime industry began in 2017 in Hawaii. The following year, she travelled to Croatia, marking the beginning of a global sailing career that has taken her across oceans and continents.
Over the years, she's had the privilege of sailing and working in diverse locations around the world, including Portugal, Croatia, Italy, Ireland, French Polynesia and the Caribbean. For nearly five years, she has called the Virgin Islands home, honing her skills and deepening her love for the sea. Most recently, she's dedicated her time to sharing her knowledge and passion with others, spending the last year teaching sailing in the British Virgin Islands.
Dani's experience in various maritime environments, combined with her love for travel, adventure and creating exceptional guest experiences has her eager to welcome you onboard Grace this season. -
Chef: Melissa Fulmor
Melissa was born in San Diego, California but if you ask her, raised in a kitchen. Coming from a family of chefs and restaurateurs, the culinary industry is second nature. She quickly found a love of travel and has been to over 35 countries and lived in several along the way. In 2017, Melissa found a way to combine her two great loves: cooking and traveling as she sailed through the stunning waters of Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and the BVI's. Melissa thrives on giving her guests not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience, because in her world, the best memories are made around the dinner table.
