Amber grew up in Cape Town but has since been a traveler who has lived and worked on 4 different continents. Her love for food came from a very young age when she grew up sitting on the kitchen counter watching her father cook incredible meals inspired from all over the world.
This developed her pallet widely and conjured a great passion for food! However, prior to completely committing to being a chef, she first did a degree in business, specializing in entrepreneurship and then a 200hour Internationally recognized yoga course. It was while living and teaching yoga in Thailand that she finally fell into her role as chef while at a Wellness retreat. From there the journey began and she sought out professional training in addition to her already strong base of ability. She is now in her happiest part of her life and career, chef on luxury
catamarans for the past 4 years. A place to truly commit to the beauty of culinary experience, all while on a wonderful sailing adventure!

Ronette Liebenberg is from Cape Town, South Africa. She didn't just stumble into yachting—she sprinted right into it with a heart full of desire. With two seasons under her belt, she can confidently say that the ocean is where she belongs. She's made it her mission to infuse every moment onboard with that same kind of magic. Now, let's talk wine. The apple of her eye, or should we say grape? She lives for the stories that unfold with each sip. She lives even more for a good food and wine pairing, who doesn't? With her Swedish Massage and Bartending certification, and WSET Level 2 in wine, she's not just serving beverages—she's crafting experiences. But don't be fooled; she's just as comfortable being hoisted up the mast and working on deck as she is swirling a glass and making beds. Whether she's on deck or the interior, ensuring every detail is just right is what she's all about. For her, it isn't just about service—it's about connection. Forging bonds, sharing stories, and creating memories that linger long after the voyage has ended. Her goal? To make every moment onboard feel like coming home.
