Crew Comments

Richard (Captain Yum Yum) and Michelle (Chef Birdy) together make up Birdy Yum Yum (there is a story behind that for a late night). We have been in a relationship for the past 5 years. As a team we will endeavour to ensure that all your needs are met and expectations realised, so that you leave with lifelong memories and an unforgettable experience.

Captain Yum Yum has an adventurous spirit and will offer you a tailor made cruising experience with accompanying activities as agreed with you. Each day will conclude with a cocktail surprise sipped during tropical sunset vistas.

Chef Birdy wants to indulge you in her many delectable dishes, having a passion for cooking, including vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian and meat dishes and is ready to personalise your menu and adapt to your specific preferences.

Together we look forward to welcoming you aboard and facilitating your dream holiday.
