Beachfront Crew Profile

Crew Number5
Captain
CaptainBrian Scales
NationalitySouth African



Captain: Kris ´Kristofor´ Ephraimson
Nationality: USA
Languages: English

Captain Kris brings a wealth of maritime expertise and a deep passion for yachting to M/Y Beachfront. With a 200-ton USCG Master License, STCW, HELM, Radar Observer Unlimited, AEC Engineering Certification, and PADI Divemaster, he ensures that every charter is seamless, safe, and unforgettable. His hands-on leadership and adaptability make him a vital part of the onboard experience.

Born and raised in Newport/Little Compton, Rhode Island, Kris grew up in a close-knit family alongside his older sister. Surrounded by the ocean, he developed a love for boating at an early age. His childhood was filled with adventure, whether traveling, sailing, skiing, or golfing. His parents encouraged him to explore a variety of sports, and he spent years competing on a traveling swim team, playing golf, and enjoying winters on the slopes.

Kris’s fascination with yachts started early, inspired by the stunning vessels docked in Newport. As a child, he would sketch boats, dreaming of a future on the water. In 2003, he took his first professional step into yachting after earning his Scuba Dive Instructor certification. He soon found work on a liveaboard sailing yacht, traveling with guests and experiencing life at sea full-time.

His career progressed quickly as he worked as an engineer on a high-demand charter yacht in the Bahamas, gaining valuable technical expertise. Later, he transitioned to an owner’s program based in Nassau, completing over 15 Exumas trips annually - an experience that solidified his love for these pristine cruising grounds.

Over the years, Kris has served on a variety of prestigious yachts, including Comanche, Scott Free, Patriot, Freedom, Summer Splendor, Sea Dreams, Khaleesi, and One Love. Now at the helm of M/Y Beachfront, he leads with a hands-on approach, ensuring smooth operations while fostering a dynamic and professional onboard atmosphere. He prides himself on his ability to adapt to any role necessary to enhance the guest experience and support his crew.

Kris has extensive cruising experience along the U.S. East Coast, from Florida to Massachusetts, enjoying the challenge of planning and executing seamless voyages. He has also spent years in the Caribbean, USVI, and BVI, but his heart lies in the Exumas - his favorite charter destination. With its crystal-clear waters, incredible fishing, and endless activities, the Exumas provide the perfect playground for adventure and relaxation.

When not on the water, Kris finds joy in Colorado, where he embraces the seasons, stunning landscapes, and outdoor adventures. Whether hiking, skiing, motorcycling, or exploring rivers, he thrives on the energy of the outdoors.

Currently working toward a larger captain’s license, Kris aspires to command a 180’-200’ yacht in the near future. Beyond yachting, he envisions running his own business, using his leadership and problem-solving skills to build something meaningful.

For Kris, the perfect charter isn’t just about luxury - it’s about creating unforgettable moments. His goal is for guests to leave M/Y Beachfront with lifelong memories, feeling that they’ve just experienced their best vacation yet.

A true outdoor enthusiast, Kris enjoys motorcycling, skiing, hiking, swimming, and golf. Always eager to share his skills, he thrives on teaching and ensuring that every day - whether on land or sea - is filled with adventure and discovery.

He lives by the belief that if you can’t stop thinking about something, you shouldn’t stop working for it. Whether navigating a yacht, leading a team, or chasing new challenges, Kris pursues every endeavor with passion and purpose.

First Mate: Ruan De villiers
Nationality: South African
Languages: Afrikaans, English


Born and raised in the Kalahari region of South Africa, Ruan grew up alongside his twin brothers before relocating to the United States, where he completed his education. From a young age, he excelled in golf, starting at just three years old under the guidance of his father. By age 12, he was ranked among the top 20 junior golfers in South Africa, winning the SA National Championship and qualifying for international junior tours in Malaysia and Australia.

Following in the footsteps of his father and brothers, Ruan entered the yachting industry at 14, learning the ropes before officially pursuing it as a career after high school. He completed his STCW and ENG certifications and is currently finishing his GED through Southern New Hampshire University. With two years of charter yacht experience, he has worked aboard Sweet Debbie, Absolutely (100’ Ocean Alexander), Tatami (110’ Mangusta), Spirit (115’ New Zealand Yacht), and Dream On (110’ Mangusta) before stepping into his current role as Mate on Beachfront.

Ruan brings a strong work ethic, versatility, and an easygoing personality to the team. Having gained experience in both interior and exterior roles, he prides himself on being a well-rounded crew member, always ready to lend a hand. He has cruised extensively through the Bahamas and Exumas, with Compass Cay standing out as his favorite charter destination for its stunning beaches.

Beyond yachting, Ruan’s greatest passion is golf, where he still competes in tournaments. His other hobbies include woodworking, snowboarding, watersports, fitness, car restoration, and playing drums professionally. Despite spending most of his time at sea, his favorite place on Earth is the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, specifically Breckenridge, where his family takes annual ski trips.

Ruan’s long-term goal in yachting is to build his qualifications and become a captain. Outside of the industry, he aspires to invest in real estate and help grow his family’s business. When it comes to charter guests, his mission is simple: to ensure they have the time of their lives, enjoying a stress-free, unforgettable vacation filled with adventure and relaxation.

His motto? ´Start your day with determination and end it with success!´

It was wonderful!! We could not have had a better time!! The crew and chef were over the top. Every day was a delightful experience, thanks to the crew and the chef!!

This cruise was 5 star in every category!! The captain, crew and chef were amazing!! The food was gourmet and beautiful!! They had a different theme each night for dinner! The yacht was immaculate. The trip far exceeded our expectations!! Many thanks for finding it for us!!

All my best

Hi Guys!

I finally was able to get a hold of Mr. X
Here is a quote from my conversation with CG (use just initials if you want to publish his comments anywhere).

It was the best trip of my life and we are looking forward to returning to BEACHFRONT for another charter soon. My only complaint is that the trip wasnt longer.

Sweet! Thanks for knocking it out of the park. He has a large extended family who charter and also told me to expect a call from a friend of his. If BEACHFRONT fits any of their parameters, Ill send them your way.

Heres to future charters!

Smooth Seas,

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Rod,

Dear Rod and Captain Titou,

Hi Rod,

My client had the best time.

herewith the feedback I received from my client!

I would also like to let you know how much we appreciated the entire crew of the Beachfront. From the moment I met them via our video conference call, I knew they would be a great fit for our family. Words cannot express how friendly and caring they were the whole time. I felt as though they went above and beyond for us at every turn. I think we literally used every toy and amenity on the yacht and had the best time doing so. Brian was incredible from day one. He was extremely professional and personable the entire trip and kept our tribe moving the whole time. There wasn´t one time we weren´t exploring, swimming, playing, and bonding as a family and he was the one that kept that going. He along with Luke were right there with us the entire time with a drone, GoPro, and a camera taking pictures and video that will last a lifetime for us. The video at the end of the trip was definitely Hollywood worthy and has only been watched ten thousand times by our family. Brian and Luke made sure everything was ready to go at a moments notice and had us traveling in style. Words cannot express how great those two were.
Maryanne and Steph did an outstanding job with the interior. I don´t think a drink ever ran dry or a snack ever went empty, which is saying a lot with four cray kids on board. These two amazing people had the boat looking good from top to bottom 100% of the time. It was such a pleasure to return to our room completely made up from top to bottom always sparkling clean. I am a little OCD and to have everything wiped down, clean, pressed, and smelling good is what a real vacation is to me. We noticed everything they did and want to make sure that part of the trip doesn´t go unmentioned. The table settings and themes were so carefully crafted and festive that even our kids would get up early to see how the table was set or jump off the tender as quickly as they could to be the first one to see what the theme was that night. We couldn´t have had a better team to take care of us.
Martin was outstanding to say the least. He was so accommodating with eight people that all wanted a little something different. I would say the only complaint we had with the food is that we are all about ten pounds heavier now, which is a good problem to have! He along with everyone on board nailed Thanksgiving dinner. Words cannot express how grateful we are for the amazing food, company, and ambiance that was done to accommodate a special tradition we hold dear. We were all a little nervous as to how Thanksgiving would go and not only did it meet our expectations but it is going to be hard to do anything but this now every Thanksgiving. I also want to point out that the birthday cake was beyond incredible. I couldn´t believe how great the cake not only looked but tasted. Martin truly is an artist and the trip would not have been the same without him.
Overall I cannot thank you or the crew enough. Our kids were literally in tears in the car on the way home from the boat, and not just from the amazing experience we had just had, but because of the friendship and love they had for the people that made it happen. Thank you for making this once in a lifetime trip so memorable. I cannot wait to do it again.


How was your experience working with Captain Brian? He was great, communicated well before, after and throughout the charter. Made it all very easy.

How was your experience working with the CA? Easy, with quick response to emails and texts.
Would you recommend Beachfront in the future? Yes!
