SEVEN

Crew Info:

Captain James Gordon
Captain James was raised on sailing among Canada’s freshwater lakes. He suffered a severe case of wanderlust from an early age and always looked for opportunities to combine work with his love for adventure and travel. Teaching skiing in Japan, diving the Great Barrier Reef, or guiding expeditions to Antarctica became ‘another day at the office’. James is a former instructor with the Canadian Yachting Association, an RYA Yacht Master Offshore captain and just celebrated his 25th anniversary as a PADI scuba instructor. With over 5 years' experience in the British Virgin Islands, James knows every inch of this paradise, both on and below the waves.

James also had a 20+ year career in hospitality and tourism, including operating his own restaurant in Ontario. With his experience in hospitality and as captain and crew in various locations around the world, James has the knowledge to approach charters with high standards of care and safety. He is detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and committed to upholding the highest standards of maritime excellence.

Stewardess Jadine Law

Jadine grew up in a quaint town near Johannesburg, South Africa where she spent weekends boating and doing water sports. She also spent many fun times in the Seychelles where she developed a love of the sea – snorkeling, deep sea fishing, and exploring the islands’ breathtaking beaches. Jadine now holds her personal watercraft licenses as well as the RYA powerboat level 2 license and is eager to lend a hand with all on board water sport activities.

During her school years, she danced competitively for four years. Her dedication to the sport and its long and demanding hours gave her self-discipline, a great work ethic, and taught her the value of teamwork, which she carries into all aspects of her life.
Jadine attended the Super Yacht Training Academy in Cape Town South Africa, completing both Stewardess and Deck Hand components. During the Bartender and Barista course she discovered her passion for mixology and looks forward to sharing her creative cocktails with guests! She is friendly, hard-working, and eager to be successful in her chosen field.

She looks forward to meeting guests onboard SEVEN and making their stay a memorable and enjoyable one.
