CAPTAIN
Lee Adams
RYA YM Ocean 4374, AEC, GMDSS, STCW10, ENG1
Lee grew up on the peninsula of Cape Town, South Africa. As a youngster and under the guidance of his Grandfather, Admiral Tom Hardiman SA Navy, he was introduced to sailing and racing in the Bay. His maiden voyage and ocean crossing from Cape Town to Antigua was aboard a racing sloop back in 1999. After several local regattas in the Carib, he was invited aboard the classic Schooner, The Tree of Life (with 8 manual sails). After an initial circumnavigation aboard, he took over as Captain.
​
Lee has explored and lived in the Caribbean for more than 10 years and is a long time resident in the Lesser Antilles. His local knowledge is a key component for any successful holiday where the Captain must find the best hidden locations, crystal clear dive sites and dodge any weather.
​
Lee’s qualities as a person are special. Meet him and you will know instantly why he captains the very first Privelage640, Segundo Viento. The atmosphere onboard is perfectly balanced and maintained and with his unique skillset, adventure is always on hand.
CHEF
Lucy
With over 10 years of experience navigating the stunning waters of the Caribbean, particularly the British Virgin Islands, and the East Coast of the USA, she has honed her dual passions for sailing and gourmet cooking. My journey began by delivering boats from Cape Town to Australia, where she built the foundation of her sailing expertise. As a true thalassophile, her love for the ocean extends beneath the waves through scuba diving, freediving, and snorkelling.
Her culinary journey is as rich and diverse as her nautical one. She revels in the unique opportunity to craft exquisite, tailored menus for my guests aboard. Each meal is a celebration of flavors, inspired by the diverse cuisines and fresh ingredients encountered from place to place.
When she is not in the galley, she loves exploring with her guests, whether hiking through scenic landscapes or snorkelling in crystal-clear waters to uncover hidden treasures of the sea.
