STARRY NIGHT - CREW BIO
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Murray Hiscock
CHEF: Antigua (Tiggie) Steward
A dynamic duo
Murray, born and bred in South Africa and hailing from a family of sailors who represented South Africa at multiple world championships, he has saltwater in his veins. He discovered his passion for racing and commanding keelboats and Hobie cats, boat building, and yacht rigging alongside his father, embracing the ocean’s challenges from a young age. He brings extensive experience to the team as a qualified RYA Yacht Master, with two Atlantic crossings and multiple Southern Ocean races under his belt, a testament to his dedication and love for the sea. His love for the outdoors also extends to motocross, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking.
Antigua, with roots in both South Africa and Annapolis, Maryland inherited her love for sailing from her father, a renowned professional sailor who holds a world record for a solo circumnavigation in an open-top 19 ft keelboat. From racing dinghies in her youth to commanding her own keelboat by the age of 14, Antigua brings a wealth of experience and a taste for adventure as the team’s chef and first mate.
Antigua developed a passion for cooking early on, inspired by her love for flavors and creativity in the kitchen.
Growing up in Annapolis, she honed her culinary skills alongside her sailing adventures, blending her expertise as a chef with her prowess as a sailor. From experimenting with fresh catches aboard her family’s boats to crafting delicious meals for her sailing crew, Antigua’s culinary creations are as adventurous and seasoned as her seafaring spirit. Her dedication to both the art of cooking and the thrill of the open water defines her as an integral part of the team, bringing enthusiasm and enjoyment to every charter.
Together, Murray and Antigua embody a blend of skill, passion, and a sense of adventure.
They look forward to welcoming you aboard for a memorable island vacation.
