Hello, my name is Anthony Fouché, and I am the Captain of M/Y Southern Sky.

Hailing from a coastal city, my connection to the sea has been profound and enduring since childhood. Growing up near the water, I developed my skills in powerboat racing and honed my abilities navigating challenging coastal waters as a young man.

In 2017, I transitioned my passion for boating into a career in the yachting industry. Through perseverance and determination, I advanced steadily, gaining experience on yachts up to 360 feet in length. In 2020, I achieved my commercially endorsed Yachtmaster certification for vessels up to 200 gross tonnes. At the age of 22, I had the privilege of taking command of a luxury yacht, a position I have proudly held ever since.

Beyond my professional responsibilities, I am an adventurer at heart, constantly seeking my next adrenaline-filled experience. I dedicate my leisure time to exploring the ocean´s depths as a passionate diver, spearfisher, and fisherman.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, I bring my passion for the sea to every aspect of my role, striving to provide our guests with exceptional experiences aboard Southern Sky.


Hi, my name is Milé.

My journey began by studying in a quaint wine village, where my love of exploration and travel was awakened. I have taken numerous voyages, collecting passport stamps and sampling local cuisines from all over the world. As an enthusiastic ‘foodie’ I love to bring all the flavours and scents of my travels back my kitchen.

As a lively and active individual, I boldly chose to leave my desk job as an Junior Marketing Manager, in favour of a life on the water. This allows me to combine my passion for the ocean, hiking new territories, swimming and snorkelling with my culinary skills. I strive to blend my love of cooking with my dedication to making my guests´ stay exceptional in my role as a stewardess and culinary artisan.

I’ve had the pleasure of being a Stewardess for almost 3 years now, and have gained experience from the coastal towns of the Mediterranean, the East Coast of the United States, as well as the picturesque Bahamas.

Making deep connections with my guests is what I thrive on, ensuring that every journey is more than just a vacation, but a special and unforgettable experience. I am committed to creating unforgettable experiences that our guests will treasure for a lifetime.
