Captain: Mike Jones

Kristyna and Mike are a young, fun loving couple who have a passion for travel, people and adventure. Their love for meeting new people and exploring new places has now brought them to the Caribbean.

Mike always had a love for water sports. While studying in Cape Town his interest in sailboats evolved. After finishing his degree, Mike began his yachting career as Deckhand on a 45 day passage from Cape Town to St Maarten. This experience had him hooked and he proceeded to work on different boats around the world. After obtaining his RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (for both motor and sail boats), he skippered 2 boats simultaneously in the Med. Sailing boats and the adventures that ensue is what drives Mike's passion for the ocean. He holds RYA Yachtmaster Ocean and AEC Engineering Certification.

Whether you're interested in sailing, diving, snorkelling, fishing, hiking, discovering uninhabited islands, or just simply relaxing in one of the most scenic tropical destinations in the world, Mike and Kristyna will tailor an experience to your desires. Jemma and Mike look forward to having you aboard Sayang and showing you the best that the Caribbean has to offer.

Chef Mate: Kristyna Marková (30)

Kristyna grew up on the move traveling with her parents and living in Thailand and the Canary Islands on their sailing boat. Later she came back to her homeland, the Czech Republic, where she studied and after graduating, she decided to continue traveling and left for Colombia and later to Panama, where she started working on various charter boats and yachts as a chef and stew. Before joining Sayang, she was a crew member on a sailing boat, travelling from Panama to French Polynesia. “Travelling is about knowing and exploring local culture and local cuisine”, says Kristyna. She likes to try and combine local recipes she has come across, while adding her own ideas and techniques she has learnt. She enjoys preparing meals from local fresh produce, especially seafood and fish.

“Being a chef on Sayang and other yachts combines my passion for the ocean and good food, which I am looking forward to share with our clients”

Dear Mike and Kristyna

Thank you very much for making our first trip to the BVI so memorable. We loved every minute of everyday. The sailing was wonderful! Snuba diving was excellent and I doubt we would ever thought of it, if you had not suggested it. The food was outstanding! Kristyna you are an excellent chef and Mike is a great 1st mate in the kitchen! On the other side of this coin is Mike - great captain and Kristyna great1st mate on the boat! We enjoyed relaxing at Oil Nut Bay - a good midweek break. Sayang is a beautifully maintained boat and your pride in her shines through. We are so glad we booked with you and will forever stick with monohull adventures. We are looking forward to sailing with you again in the future.

Thank you and very best regards,

Rosalind, Robert and Jacob Zils

Mike and Jemma are superb hosts. The food was excellent. Rene is an excellent cook and she raves about these meals. Mike always reviewed our sailing plans. We always deferred to his suggestions and the results were ideal sailing conditions and welcoming harbors. There is just an atmosphere of friendly accommodation that makes you feel lucky to have chosen to make this trip with them. If you want sailing with professionals, gourmet food, and genuine warm hospitality, choose this couple and their beautiful sailboat, Sayang. Paradise is just around the corner and Mike and Jemma are your perfect hosts.

Thank you for a wonderful week. You guys are the perfect hosts and made us feel like family. Every day was special. The activities were very well aligned with our active lifestyles. The sailing was so much fun. You have a beautiful boat and should be so proud of it, "Our next boat". The meals were excellent. Your presentation and meal design was excellent. Delicious! You are the friendliest and nicest people to spend vacation with. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again!

Mike and Jemma, thank you for teaching me the ropes of sailing, letting me take the helm, pick up some mooring balls, and giving me an unforgettable spring break. I now hope to continue both my sailing career and wakeboarding career throughout life.. I sincerely hope we run into each other on the water in the future. Thanks again! PS- If you ever need a deckhand please don't hesitate to call.

We had an amazing journey! Onboard with 1 year old and 3 year old in tow. We had wonderful meals, amazing sunsets, incredible dives (turtles, and yellowtail and sharks, oh my!) Smooth sailing, laughs and memories to last a lifetime! Thanks Jemma and Mike. We will never forget these last 7 days. We will be back for those fishes (since we had unsuccessful fishing attempts)! Keep sharing these amazing experiences with people from all over the world. Please contact us if you come by NYC!

Couldn't be more perfect. Meals were so amazing. We loved that they catered to our every need and yet allowed us romantic times alone. Very professional, attentive, caring and fun. We would strongly recommend them to our best friends. An adorable couple.

Best wishes!

Sailing with Mike and Jemma on Sayang was wonderful. The boat sails beautifully, the meals were delicious (thank you Jemma!), and Mike was an amazing guide to the life underwater - the best snorkeling experience we have ever had. We can't wait to sail on Sayang again.
