She is loaded with tools for exploration—three Seabob ocean scooters, high-end snorkeling and scuba equipment including an onboard nitrox-capable compressor, two Segways, e-bikes, and state-of-the-art pedal kayaks. You will run out of days before you run out of new activities to try. Yet, on Namaste, adventure is balanced with rejuvenation. On board, you can choose from several carefully designed experiences. Some, we carried to Namaste from the best spas in the world. Some are uniquely enabled by living aboard an exceptionally equipped and crewed sailing yacht and focus on the areas through which Namaste travels. Others take advantage of the slower pace of life on Namaste, making space to learn or simply be. After a week aboard, how will your life be changed? |

Crew Profile
CAPTAIN: Thomas BIK
STCW 95
Nationality: Dutch
Language spoken: Dutch & English
Born and raised in the Netherlands, Namaste’s Captain Thomas has always had a passion for the ocean.
Because both of his parents were sailing fanatics, it was only natural that Thomas spent his childhood partaking in every water sport imaginable.
It became very clear that his drive would point him toward a career on the water.
Thomas graduated from nautical college with a bachelor’s in Water Management and a minor in Smart Water, followed by a master’s in Hydrology.
After graduation, Thomas worked as a first officer on sailing yachts up to 500GT. He quickly realized that the size of these yachts limited his interaction with guests. He therefore decided to obtain his Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean certifications and become a captain on smaller sailing vessels.
He has worked both in flotillas in the Mediterranean and in the south Caribbean on luxury sailing charter yachts.
CHEF – Kate VANVORST
Nationality: American
STCW 95
Languages: English,
Chef Kate’s relationship with sea and seafood began in her childhood on the mid-Atlantic coast.
She began working in restaurants in her teens, learning from chefs in both pizza kitchens and private country clubs.
Valuing food for its prismatic ability to nurture, entertain, and bring people together, she has long enjoyed cooking for others.
After two seasons as logistics coordinator for a live-aboard summer camp in St. Martin, Kate returned to North Carolina and ran a small concert venue and bar for five years. But the ocean was calling, and Kate returned to the Caribbean as a yacht chef.
4 years and 10,000 nautical miles later, she brings her experience to Namaste.
Outside the galley, Kate loves to hike, swim, and is learning to kite surf.
STEWARDESS: Constanza PESSIO
Nationality: Urugyan
STCW
Languages: fluent Spanish, English, Portuguese, and basic Norwegian.
Constanza grew up in the rural area of San Pedro in Uruguay among fruit trees, animals, and South American cowboys “Gauchos”. This upbringing gave her a strong connection with nature that led her to develop a love of trekking, rock climbing and kite surfing.
After completing her degree in Public Relations, Constanza immersed herself in the world of hospitality both on land and at sea. She has worked on yachts for almost ten years cruising the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Pacific.
Her passion for the sea and interest in maritime exploration led her to pursue and complete her PADI Divemaster certification. Constanza enjoys taking Namaste's guests on unforgettable underwater adventures.
She always strives to give guests a memorable stay, making them feel at home with her warm and welcoming personality.
FIRST MATE: Glenn WARD
Nationality: English
MCA ENG1, MCA STCW 95
RYA Diesel Engine Maintenance / VHF Operators licence
Dinghy/Keelboat/Multihull Instructor, Windsurf Instructor, PADI Open Water Diver
Languages: english
Glenn began his career as a multi qualified watersports instructor pursuing his childhood love for windsurfing, kayaking and dinghy sailing.
After teaching at a high wind resort in Egypt he started working on yachts.
After many deliveries and charters on luxury yachts, he has thousands of miles under his belt.
Glenn is also a PADI Rescue Diver and loves exploring the reefs with photography equipment.
With a degree in media and his drone pilot’s license Glenn is always happy to help guests capture special moments during their time onboard Namaste.

From seabob adventures to snorkeling and seing tortles, tender rides to see ship wrecks, kayacking, exploring, afternoon cocktails in the jacuzzi and ever a movie right on the fly bridge complete with popcorn ! How we had room for popcorn. I don’t know because Adrian’s insanely good food had us all but licking our plates at every meal. It was though she knows the exact fantasy meals to put in front of us. And all the super special treats from homemade pastries, bread to out of this world desserts. We honestly have never tasted such delicious food clearly prepared with love. Georgia your way of taking care of our every need without us ever seing you do itw as magical. We would turn around and where would be a tray of beautiful and delicious afternoon drinks or we would go back to our room to change and poof beds were made. I don’t know how youd id think so quickly. Sean your expert tender driving made what anyone lese would have turned back from onto an adventure what ended with amazing snorekling in turquoise waters. What you do always pulling out all the toys and taking the girls for the tube ride of their lives. Not to mention seabobs adventures we will talk about forever. Willo, you make Namaste a family and a fantasy world wrapped into one ! Surprising us with pumpkins and acarving contest was one of the weetest memories we will have from the trip. With Georgia’s Halloween decoration and delicious desserts the last night was the best halloween party any of us will ever have been to. Thank you all for making such a special trip. And thanks so much to just be able to spend time with all of you but you did everything possible to make this a trip of a life for us all. Love you guys ! Thank you !!! B, T, A, E

Honestly, there was absolutely nothing wrong with this charter, the ladies had a fantastic time, ate super well and you definitely created a memorable holiday!Charter on February 24 - March 3, 2022 in St Martin area – 2 American guests

Thanks to everyone and I look forward to working with you again in the future.Charter on April 10 - 17, 2022 in St Martin area - American group of 6
WHAT A DREAM VACATION ! Loved working with Danielle to plan our amazing vacation in the Caribbean. She was super patient and helpful during these trying times of COVID - but once we were able to get our trip booked — we had a FABULOUS time. Namaste was the perfect catamaran for us - the crew went above and beyond to take care of our every need. We all felt so pampered not only by the service but the fabulous food prepared for us each day by Lola and served with a super smile by Rachel. Will and Brett helped us plan our fun days of adventures whether on land or playing with all the toys in the water. This was definitely one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever had and look forward to planning the next trip.Charter on Dec 23 - jan 2, 2023 in the Grenadines - 5 American guests
Our trip was beyond what they could have imagined The yacht was the ideal size and that he was incredibly impressed with Cpt. Will and how he was so communicative and that Courtney was so great with their girls and the cocktails and that the food was delicious! if NAMASTE go to the Med in summer 2024, we would be very interested in chartering her again.

To Willo, Courtney, Emma & Sam, Thank you so much for helping make this experience amazing. We have had the most amazing days made all the better by such a wonderful and attentive crew. Your attention to detail has been fantastic and our every need catered too. The food has been exceptional, we’v loved Sam’s culinary around the word dishes.

There’s a clear camaraderie amongst the crew adn they realyy made this special for us ! Courtney even got my coffee spot on ! Thanks again, We’ll back ! J & B
Charter on Dec 29 - jan 5, 2024 in Antigua area - A group of 6 from Monaco
The size of the boat was perfect for us. The girls really enjoyed each having their own rooms with queen beds and bathrooms/shower. Storm and I enjoyed the larger space bedroom. Also great was that all bedrooms were airconditioned. - The crew was amazing. They really are all extremely good at their job, they were friendly but not overbearing, they were open to be personal but professionally distant. They all very flexible and open to adapting to our and the kid’s ever-changing needs without ever showing any signs of impatience. All four of them are really hard workers and go above and beyond. - Chef Lola had a great idea and made the whole trip a 100% gluten-free journey, which was really amazing. With Zoe being celiac and the kids liking their snacks, it is not so easy for us to keep the eating-routine very stable. Lola and Courtney had no issue with that at all and kept just working around us and predicting our needs. They even got a new toaster just for this sail, so that there would be no contamination. This is really going above and beyond… - Seabobs are a MUST. What amazing little inventions! Of all the many many toys of the Namaste, the bobs are clearly the winners. Those we need on any future charters 😉 All the other toys were also used and enjoyed a lot, just not loved as much as the Bobs. But the Namaste’s many toys are definitely a big positive feature. - The most enjoyable part of the itinerary was Barbuda. For the next trip, we would welcome your recommendations and seek to include even more white-sand beach, remote type destinations. This time it was us driving the train and we were surprised how much more we liked Barbuda than Antigua, which is the island we initially were fixated on. - Only change we could envision on the next one is to scale down on food a bit. Two meals a day with snacks in between would probably suffice. Beverages were all excellently handled’.Charter on April 9 - 16, 2024 in St Martin area - 2 guests from Barbados
Our second charter on Namaste and its still as wonderful as it was on our 1st despite the weather! You all took such care of us and made sailing in the run fun. Captain Willo made as last time our cruise special. Courtney looked after every need, making excellent coffees, and force feeding us champagne! Thanks Pippa for the amazing food, I was need to diet but great to meet a fellow Northerer in the Caribbean. Glen was so friendly and helpful even searching for Brian's non existent missing Apple watch! We will miss you all. All the best for the future! J & B
