He has sailed all oceans, designed and built his own boats and is also a well-respected technical author and consultant on boatbuilding. Stefan is our resident merman who loves excels at just about every watersport going. He is also a talented musician, creating soundscapes aboard.
Chloe’s professional background was in teaching (she used to be a University Professor and has worked all over the world; from Borneo to the Canary Islands). After travelling and sailing around the world with Stefan, her passion for health and wellness finally overtook her love of language and literature and she started hosting worldwide yoga and wellness retreats. She also loves dancing, writing, singing and dabbles in guitar and freediving. Together, Chloe & Stefan’s bliss is on the ocean in nature, working with people to create an uplifting and inspiring space based on integrity, respect and wholesomeness.
