CAPTAIN: Joe CAREW BOURKE
New Zealand & UK passeports
B1/B2 visas
STCW’10 - RYA Yacht master Offshore
Languages: English

Joe grew up in Auckland, New Zealand where his family owned a small powerboat which he used to spend as much time as possible out on the ocean, primarily water skiing and fishing.
While completing a Civil Engineering degree, Joe went on a sailing holiday to Croatia and accidentally ended up with a job for the rest of the season.
He spent the next few years trying to juggle a ‘normal’ job with getting away to sail as much as possible, before committing to sailing full time in 2018.
Since then he has worked extensively in Greece, Croatia, Spain and the Caribbean, along with delivering yachts all over Europe and completing four trans-Atlantic and one Pacific crossing.
Joe has over 40,000 sailing miles, and holds his Yachtmaster Ocean certification.
Before moving onto Joy, Joe's most recent position was Captain aboard Anna Pink, a Bali 5.4 catamaran.
He ran this vessel for two and a half years, from handover from the factory as a new build, through seasons in Spain, Greece and the Bahamas.
Alongside sailing, Joe’s other love is endurance sport and he has completed a number of marathons and Ironman triathlons.


CHEF: Michaela MORITZ
South African
STCW
Languages: English

Michaela grew up on the East coast of South Africa, this is where she developed her love for the ocean.
Michaela learnt her love for cooking from her mother, who herself has been a yacht chef for 14 years.
Michaela expanded her culinary knowledge my studying for two years at a chef school in South Africa, where she won multiple awards in her class.
She also has qualifications in French culinary, pastry and sushi. Micheala’s favourite cooking style is Asian fusion.
Michaela is more than capable of catering for any and all dietary requirements.
If you do not find her up on deck helping out the rest of the crew, then she will be in the galley experimenting.


STEWARDESS: Georgie BARK
UK Passeport
B1/B2 visas
STCW’10

Georgie was raised in the UK and grew up sailing on her family yacht, accompanied by dinghy sailing.
She eventually ended up as an assistant dinghy instructor and spent a summer in Cape Cod as a camp sailing counsellor.
Since then Georgie has worked a summer as a flotilla host (where she met Joe), a winter as a chalet sous chef, and the last two and a half years on Anna Pink as the chef/mate.
Although Georgie thoroughly enjoyed her time cooking aboard Anna Pink her primary interest has always been entertaining, and she jumped at the opportunity to take on the stew position on Joy.
Georgie is a keen photographer and videographer and will definitely be able to send you some lovely memories of your holiday.


MATE-ENGINEER: Euan WHITE
South African
STCW’10
Languages: English

Rounding out our seasoned crew is Euan; Euan was born in England before moving to South Africa and growing up in Umhlanga.
With a desire to venture beyond the beaches, he fell in love with yachting and fishing when he wasn’t playing academy level soccer.
As an accomplished man of the sea, Euan would love to tell you tales of his sailfish catch or his multiple dives for lobsters.
Better yet, he’d be happy to guide you to create stories like that to take home to share with family and friends.
Euan loves bringing his enthusiasm to new places and new challenges.
