Sonny and Anja met in Exmouth, Western Australia working together for a Dive Charter Company. Every day they dived and snorkelled the Ningaloo Reef showing the best dive spots and every little or large creature their group of guests wanted to see. Crewing as Deckhand, First Mate and Divemaster on Dive, Snorkel, Whaleshark, Humpback and Mantaray Day Charters was the start to their new ocean adventures. Travelling Australia and moving to the East Coast gave both more opportunities on working on the water as well as getting to explore the passion of wind in your sails. For five years both sailed up and down the east coast teaching kids on a 100ft Schooner, how to sail, crewing for circumnavigators sharing amazing knowledge, becoming permanent crew aboard social racing yachts in Brisbane as well as taking guests to one of the biggest sand islands in the world for snorkel and day explorations, to Tangalooma Resort.

"The ocean is our home" both admit and after coming to the BVI for their honeymoon, Sonny and Anje knew - they will be back. Only two years later they are ready to take perfect care as your crew on Elektra. Their stories will inspire and their hospitality indulge during your stay onboard.
