Crew Profile
MEET YOUR CREW
Mark Russell
Michael O'Brien
Jeanique De Klerk
Born in Japan, growing up in England with American parents, Mark has always been a voyager. Having started sailing at a young age, he completed his RYA day skipper course at the ripe age of 13 years old on a 32’ sloop sailing the French and English coasts. His passion for all things nautical led him to a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth where he completed his Yacht Master course and worked locally as a dive guide and RIB pilot. Soon wishing to explore further afield, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor working all over the world and clocking up thousands of dives culminating in a 4.5hr dive to 260’ on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu. This was while working on his first luxury motor yacht. He then stayed in this sector on and off for the next 17 years earning MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable break from luxury yachts was his time spent with the race vessel ‘Earthrace’. The team circumnavigated the globe in 60 days in a 78’ motor yacht with 4 crew and still hold the World Record to this day! Mark loves exploring the Virgin Islands and all the fun, culture and nature it has to offer.
Born and raised in South Africa, Michael O'Brien has always had a deep connection with the ocean. This lifelong passion led him to earn his PADI Divemaster certification in Sodwana Bay, Durban, in 2020 – a testament to his exceptional diving skills.
In the same year, Michael discovered his love for culinary arts. Pursuing this newfound passion, he underwent formal culinary training for 4 years in Stellenbosch. His talent and dedication quickly propelled him into the world of fine dining, where he honed his skills in prestigious Cape Town establishments, including The Manor House and Delaire Graff Wine Estate.
Seeking to combine his two greatest loves – the ocean and food – Michael set his sights on a career at sea. In early 2023, he secured his first maritime position as 3rd chef on a vessel in Scotland. His culinary expertise and adaptability saw him swiftly rise through the ranks, eventually becoming the sole chef aboard an 80-foot yacht cruising the Bahamas.
Now, Michael has embarked on a new adventure as part of the crew aboard Ripple. He brings his unique blend of ocean expertise and culinary mastery to our catamaran, enhancing our guests' experiences with his skills both as a chef and an experienced diver. We're thrilled to welcome him as a valuable member of the Ripple family, where his passion for the sea and gourmet cuisine contributes immensely to creating unforgettable charter journeys.
Jeanique is a young and ambitious soul from a small, rural town in Solwezi, Zambia. She started yachting at the age of 20 with the aim to be independent, travel to her hearts content and to experience diverse cultures. With two summer seasons under her belt she has worked on charter yachts in Greece, the Mediterranean and the east coast of the USA. She was a competitive swimmer for twelve years and just loves the water and has now had the opportunity to scuba dive and see the underwater world we share with our aquatic friends.Being
able to work both on deck and inside vessel's, she's been able to see the best of both worlds on a yacht or sailing vessel. She has been aloud the opportunity to share her friendly, caregiving nature everywhere she goes, allowing the people whom connect and meet her feel the positive and kind hearted nature which is her personality and character.
This great crew look forward to welcoming you onboard Ripple this season and creating the best vacation memories for you, your friends and families.
