OCEANS SEVEN SQUARED has an excellent crew of 4: Captain, Cordon Bleu Chef, Mate & Stewardess
Captain Matthew (Kippa) Satchwell
Matthew has been an enthusiastic sailor from a very young age. He has competed in most of the thoroughbred offshore races as well as at a professional inshore level.
With a fondness for people and the ocean, skippering a super yacht has been a natural fit for him.
Born in the thriving tourist destination of South Africa he has been surrounded by the hospitality business from day one.
He is young which leaves him constantly energetic, always looking for new places and things to experience.
In the eight years he has worked on yachts, he has cruised the windward and leeward islands of the Caribbean extensively as well as New England, the Mediterranean and Adriatic, so you can be sure he can find you a unique location every day.
Word from the Captain
Few people realize how important the crew is when chartering a super yacht.
Over the years I have been part of a myriad of crews on all sorts of boats. I learnt very quickly that the moods and ethic of the crew had more influence on the guests than even the weather.
I like to think it is very apparent that we take great pride and pleasure in our individual roles and as a team aboard Oceans Seven.
Nick and Anna are a bubbly young couple and among the finest crew Katie and I have had the privilege to work with. As a team we are able to ensure that the service is to a six star standard while at the same time maintain a friendly and informal atmosphere between guests and crew.
As I mentioned, I think passion is the most important ingredient and Katies food is most certainly prepared from the heart. Katie is a true foodaholic and tries to ensure all our guests leave with the same enjoyment and off course a full belly.
Oceans Seven is definitely a remarkable boat itself. It is truelly rare to be afforded such volumous living arrangements while still ensuring pedigree sailing.
Whether we are off St Tropez or Miljet we will ensure you go away smiling!
See You Soon!
Your Captain,
Kippa
Chef Katie French
Katie grew up in America, Switzerland, France and Ireland, she is however proudly Canadian.
She has forever been fascinated by the pleasure taste brings to people; it is one of the rare things people allow themselves to indulge in for no other reason than just to enjoy that moment.
Fortunately for Katie, and Oceans Sevens guests, there is nowhere Katie would rather be than in her galley nurturing her valrhona chocolate soufflé to life. Or preparing ceviche from the Mahi Mahi you caught off the back of the yacht that afternoon.
Katie has completed cooking courses at the famous Cordon Bleu in Paris and Grange cookery school in Dorset England.
Her food is always healthy and a true taste sensation, it is very variable with her foods main influences being French and Mediterranean cuisine and culture.
She will proudly tell you she has the most important job in the world.
