Captain Rico and Chef Lucie

Meet Captain Rico van Rooyen, a South African captain whose sailing journey started in 2023. As a commercially endorsed Yachtmaster offshore he loves to sail and explore the water that surrounds him. His career is a testament to his dedication to excellence, with a focus on delivering top-quality service. Rico's passion for sailing goes beyond the professional realm; it reflects his genuine connection to the ocean and the joy of sharing that experience with others. Growing up next to the water, Rico spent a lot of time on boats doing water sports where he gained vast knowledge in this area. This is where Rico found his love for being on the water and knew he would excel in this industry.

Meet Chef Lucie, born to a Belgian mother and a French father, Lucie grew up immersed in the rich tapestry of both cultures. Raised by a mother who was a skilled cook herself, Lucie was taught the importance of balanced and diverse meals from an early age. This upbringing cultivated her palate and sparked a lifelong curiosity for exploring new flavors.

Guided by her mother, Lucie soon learned the fundamentals of cooking and was constantly encouraged to refine her culinary skills. Lucie's innate curiosity and love for the Japanese culture inspired her to delve into Asian cuisine, expanding her culinary horizons even further. Through dedication and perseverance, she has grown in confidence and creativity in the kitchen. Lucie's greatest satisfaction comes from witnessing the joy on people's faces as they enjoy the meals she has meticulously prepared.

Captain Rico and Chef Lucie look forward to welcoming you onboard Infinity for an unforgettable charter!
