Okeana Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/Mate
Captain Dal comes from Yorkshire, in the North of England, and has been sailing since childhood, serving as a professional Captain for 11 years through the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Bahamas. Specialising almost exclusively in crewed yachts and luxury crewed charters, onboard sailing catamarans, and monohulls upto 76 feet, Dal´s love for sailing and the yachting lifestyle as a whole has extended into a passion for new adventures, immersing himself in a variety of cultures, meeting new and unlikely people, and hospitality.
Ensuring that he and his team provide their clients the absolute best possible experience on and offboard is a top priority, whilst providing a guest-focused, engaging, friendly and fun atmosphere. Dal is a keen and enthusiastic free diver, scuba diver, sailor, engineer, motorsports and soccer lover, and exceptionally laid-back and easygoing.
Chef Lauren was born and raised on the east coast of South Africa where fishing, sailing and everything ocean was her way of life. She has been a chef on yachts for the past 8 years and loves everything ocean related. Her passion is cooking and guest satisfaction where she can show case her artistic flare in the galley. She´s an avid surfer with a love for the outdoors, traveling and meeting interesting people on the way.
Chef/Mate Eden Baker
With over four years of experience as a chef on luxury catamarans, I bring a passion for culinary creativity and personalized service to every charter. My journey in hospitality began with a love for cooking and adventure, leading me to combine the two in the dynamic world of yacht charters.
I’ve worked in various roles, including chef and first mate, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of both exceptional guest service and seamless operations at sea. My favorite part of the role is curating unique dining experiences, blending fresh, locally-sourced ingredients with flavors that surprise and delight.
A Cape Town native, I love sharing my South African heritage through food while also exploring new cuisines from around the globe. I’m known for my calm demeanor, attention to detail, and ability to adapt quickly to ensure every guest has an unforgettable experience.
When I’m not in the galley, I enjoy trying new restaurants and days on the beach with my nose in a good book.

Okeana Guest Reviews
Fantastic Vacation!
This was a fantastic vacation! Jane and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our daughter, her husband, and our two granddaughters. Captain Dal and Mate JJ made this a memorable time. Dal knew all about the islands and he did a wonderful job of not only being our Captain, but our tour guide as well. JJ used our Preference Sheets to prepare meals that were ´over the top´. The weather was good, the islands were great, and the boat and crew fit us perfectly. Okeana was just right for our needs. Having four cabins not only allowed the grandparents and parents to have their own cabin, but the two granddaughters also had their own separate cabins. This was a huge plus. We loved spending time on the Top Deck and Fly Bridge (cool breezes). A lot of time was spent on the Fore Deck ... sunbathing and playing
board games. Having air-conditioned cabins made the evenings very comfortable. The boat was well maintained, and Dal kept everything spotless during the days.
Trip was perfect!
Our family of 5 and my sister in law spent a week sailing in the BVI on the “Okeana” in July 2021. Our captain was Raphael (“Raph”) Marshall-Naef, and our chef was Isabel Sollberg. Everything about the trip was perfect. Raph is a great captain with lots of experience sailing in the BVI, and he took us to all of the best snorkeling spots and fun locations like Soggy Dollar and Willy T’s. Isabel’s cooking was amazing. Best of all, Raph and Isabel are two of the nicest and most fun people you could meet. Our family has done a lot of traveling and everyone thought it was the best trip ever. We all highly recommend Raph and Isabel, 10 out of 10 stars!!
Amazing Week on Okeana!
We spent an amazing week sailing the islands of the BVIs on a 49 foot catamaran, the Okeana! She is a beautiful yacht with a great open design. The best part of the Okeana is the crew. The Skipper, Raph is knowledgeable of the waters and attractions, super competent and confident. He made sure we had a safe, fun and relaxing adventure. Isabel, the chef catered to our every culinary and dietary need. Each meal was beautifully presented and delicious! Isabel took great effort to accommodate to each of our dietary restrictions and tastes. This was a first sailing charter for most of our party and everyone had a great time! We will definitely be back!
