Captain Jordache

Captain Jordache Kirsten is a seasoned maritime professional whose lifelong passion for the sea has shaped an impressive career spanning over six years. With more than 10,000 nautical miles logged, he has captained and crewed catamarans up to 82 feet, navigating some of the world’s most breathtaking waters - from the vibrant coral reefs of Fiji and the turquoise bays of the Caribbean to the rugged coastlines of South Africa and Australia.
As a commercially endorsed captain licensed for yachts up to 86 feet, Captain Jordache prioritizes safety and professionalism while fostering a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere on board. One of his most memorable voyages was a challenging passage from Cape Town to the remote island of St. Helena and back - an experience that tested his seamanship and left him with incredible stories to share.

Beyond his extensive experience in yacht deliveries, charter operations, and vessel maintenance, he is known for his adventurous and easy-going nature, making every charter both exciting and seamless. Whether guests seek adrenaline-fueled water sports or tranquil relaxation, he is dedicated to curating unforgettable experiences.

When not at the helm, Captain Jordache enjoys traveling the world, exploring exotic destinations, and visiting family in the UK. With a deep love for sailing and a commitment to excellence, he looks forward to welcoming guests aboard and sharing the magic of life at sea.


Chef Emily

Growing up in the English countryside, Chef Emily Faraway developed a love for fresh, seasonal ingredients and wholesome cooking. Her culinary journey began in a cocktail bar, where she managed operations before stepping into the role of chef, blending her passion for hospitality with her love of food.

Emily began her yachting career as a service stewardess, but her travels through Greece, Turkey, France, and Italy inspired her to explore Mediterranean cuisine. Under the mentorship of an onboard chef, she transitioned to the galley, honing her culinary skills and embracing the rich flavors of her journey. Further travels in Asia deepened her culinary repertoire, teaching her to balance the vibrant flavors of fresh local ingredients with powerful spices and aromatics.

Emily’s recent experience aboard a superyacht in the Caribbean allowed her to deliver exceptional dining experiences, including crafting and plating three-course silver-service meals for up to 20 guests and creating menus tailored to their preferences. Her attention to detail extended beyond the galley, as she impressed guests with thoughtful touches during cabin turn-downs and assisted with exterior operations when needed.
Before her yachting career, Emily refined her culinary skills in upscale restaurant settings, designing inventive menus, catering private events, and leading as Head Chef. She also developed extensive cocktail menus, implemented allergy-safe kitchen practices, and optimized stock management to reduce waste and increase profitability.

Now, Emily combines her countryside roots with global influences to create unforgettable dining experiences aboard Cocktails & Dreams. From elegant multi-course meals to casual alfresco feasts, she crafts dishes that reflect her passion for fresh ingredients, culinary artistry, and exceptional hospitality. Her qualifications, including advanced food safety and allergy awareness, ensure every meal is prepared with care and professionalism.

Cocktails & Dreams Guest Reviews

Captain Kelsey and chef Simon were outstanding

Captain Kelsey and chef Simon were outstanding. Simon prepared and presented meals that matched a level of fine dining found in top NYC restaurants. Kelsey took charge of the daily sails and knew the best spots to take us, places to snorkel and even a floating taco restaurant for lunch on floating tubes. At our invitation they joined us for dinner, we played table games and videoed our disco our disco evenings. The crew were very much a part of our fun times!

Gorgeous views, great food, and the BEST crew!
