Eben grew up in South Africa in a big city but most vacations were spent in the wild bushveld. His working career started as a project manager and later on to logistics. Eben started sailing later in life and as soon as he set foot on his first boat he was hooked. He went on to become a captain and managed a sailing academy.

Katie was born in a small English village in the UK, her love for water and the ocean comes from the South coast of England. Her love for the ocean is matched by her love for horses as an equestrian dressage ride and her passion for cuisines from around the world. She enjoyed cooking from a young age with her mom who was a qualified chef. After completing her equine studies she worked in equine yards where she competed at a national level. She lated worked at a culinary school where she further developed her skills that are incorporated in her beautiful cuisines.

Eben and Katie met on the north coast of Sicily in Milazzo in 2022 and it was love at first sight. Katie as an equestrian rider and Eben as a Captain both had a love of the water. After traveling together around Europe Eben convinced Katie to join him in the amazing world of sailing.

Eben has been chartering around the Mediterranean and the Caribbean for the last 9 years and Katie joined him in the British Virgin Islands in 2023. As soon as you step on board you will feel at home and you can sit back relax and soak in the Caribbean sun. Whatever your needs are, whether it is diving amazing reefs, building sand castles on the beach or enjoying cocktails at the beach bars, Eben and Katie will have you forgetting about the world outside the islands.

Having grown up in the South West of England, Phoebe grew up with a deep appreciation for the outdoors and a natural connection to the sea. Surrounded by rugged coastlines and rolling countryside, she spent much of her childhood exploring beaches, swimming in the ocean, and enjoying long coastal walks with her dog.

Phoebe is known for her warm hospitality, attention to detail, and creative flair behind the bar. Whether it’s crafting classic cocktails or mixing up custom creations to match the mood, she loves turning a simple drink into a memorable experience.

Guest Comments
March 2026 BVI Charter
Dear Eben, Katie and Phoebe,

Thank you so much for making our family vacation dreams come true. This week has been truly magical We have felt so lucky that our family has been able to join yours and share our special memories with you all. You all have been so kind, thoughtful and FUN! It will be impossible to pick a favourite moment because all of our adventures were so magical. We loved swimming and playing on and off the boat. We had so many fun times on the sun chill and trampolines, the paddle board, and - a new fav - the e-foil. We loved spending time on the sandy beaches, swimming and snorkeling finding shells, and enjoying our ‘usual’ cocktail. We truly felt the love with each delicious meal. Compliments to the chef! We will always remember how kind and amazing you have been with the kids. Thank you for playing with them, chatting with them…and listening…and listening some more. Thank you for taking them on the e-foil, making them kid cocktails, creating a special movie night (or 2), and showing them all the magic of the BVI. It will be hard to rejoin the cold world of New England where shoes are required. We all wish we could stay with your family longer. Our home in Maine or Massachusetts is forever open to you all. We hope we can one day share the wonder of playing in the snow, tubing and skiing, exploring the frozen lake and eating icicles. We’re not sure it compares to swimming with turtles, but we would be honoured to try to return the favour. Thank you so very much for a truly once in a lifetime (but hopefully not actually) experience.



Dear Eben, Phoebe & Katie,

Thank you so very much for our incredible week on Seahome 2! From the moment we stepped on board, you made us feel so welcome and truly rolled out the red carpet. From our first day at Anegada to our last night at Virgin Gorda and all the moments in-between - games, amazing meals, cocktails, snorkelling, hiking, e-foiling, scuba diving, hidden coves and rocky cruises - it was all so much fun! What a way to celebrate our patriarchs 80th. Thank you for showing us the magic of the BVI’s. And let us know if you ever make it to Stockholm.

March 2026 BVI Charter
To the lovely, talented, beautiful crew -

You guys made this experience what it was. I has so much fun laughing, eating DELICIOUS food and learning and thing or two. I look forward to seeing y’all in Texas one day.



Thank you so much for making this vacation incredibly special. Between the meals, I was constantly looking forward to the next impeccable creation you’d place before us and you never disappointed. You’ve truly spoiled us and I fear I may lose sleep knowing I won’t be able to enjoy another one of your delicious meals tomorrow. Thank you from me and my happy tummy. Back in Austin I’m a waitress and I’m taking notes from you’re incredible, attentive, service. You kept the party going even if it was only me partying. Everytime I heard your sweet voice, I knew I was in good hands. Thank you from my mom for keeping me alive with all fingers and toes still attached. You made this trip so special. I can’t wait to go home just to brag about driving the boat. I wouldn’t change anything from this trip because it was quite literally perfect, thanks to y’all!! I hope y’all have safe travels on the rest of your season and hope to experience your amazing service again in the future.



Eben, Katie & Phoebe -

Thank you for making our week so memorable. It was great to get to know each of you. You made for a week of fun with friends we will never forget. We appreciate all the laughs and hospitality.



Thank you to Eben, Katie & Phoebe for the most amazing week aboard Seahome II. Your kind hospitality, amazing fun and seafaring experience was most appreciated. The soft, warm sea breeze, the turquoise ocean and island scenery was was fantastic. Our introduction to “Painkillers” was really quite painless!! Loved the snorkelling, swimming and the attempts at e-foiling. Thanks again for a wonderful week and best of luck to you all for 2026! Thank you for an insiders view of the Caribbean. You provided incredible hospitality and created a lot of joy in a beautiful part of the world.



Eben, Katie & Phoebe,

Thank you for a memorable experience!! You are a professional team and work seamlessly together. Enjoyed every minute.



An amazing, differential experience fulled with great food, snorkelling, diving, swimming and hiking. Thank you for keeping us safe, fully fed and happy. You all work incredibly hard and can still keep a smile on you face! Thank you so much, for making our family vacation a success.


Eben, Katie & Phoebe,

Thank you for a memorable experience. We had a great gamily vacation. Your teamwork, skill and organisation was amazing.



Eben, thanks for planting us in the perfect spot every single day! Your knowledge of the island is awesome and thanks for sharing! Katie, your food has been exceptional and I feel as if I have been a Master chef judge - 10/10! Phoebe, thanks for always having a hand ready! Your cocktails are amazing and you’ve been a great candy fairy!



Eben, Katie & Phoebe,

Thank you guys for an amazing time. I’ve enjoyed every day at sea aboard Seahome II. The views, information, food and drinks have been nothing short of amazing. So sad to be going back to the real world. I hope all of you enjoy the rest of the season.

Eben, Katie & Phoebe,

Thank you for the best week on the water. Loved the drinks, food and beaches!

February 2026 BVI Charter
To our dear Seahome 2 squad,

Sometimes in this world, at the right place, at the right time, two perfect spontaneous crew’s come together at once. I can say with no hesitation that this is one of those special unions. From the very start we felt safe and secure with the absolute professionalism of the team. Every second of this trip felt warm and genuine. To get to know that we might even have a slight chance to be able to get to do this again makes me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Every single one of the drinks were unbelievably perfect and felt like they were made with heart, soul, and perfect execution. And that can also be said about each and every one of the meals. The charm, the taste, and the texture of every bite of food on the trip has been on another level. Living in the Capital of Texas, the last thing we ever expected was to have our minds blown with food. And to the Captain, your ability to roll with our sense of humour and our wild jokes made us feel at home. We can’t believe how perfect this trip was. Safe and happy. One of the highlights of my life. Thank you! Can’t wait to host y’all in Texas.



Where do I begin. This experience would not have been anything without ya'lls incredible hospitality and attention to detail. From the very begging I knew almost immediately that this trip would not happen every again unless you guys are part of it. In a world of hospitality and care for clients in Austin that I have done everyday for 15 years you guys opened my eyes to how to do it at the next level. I can speak for everyone when I say we genuinely want y’all come to visit us so we can take care of y’all for a change. I’ve gained 3 new friends in all of this and I really want you to take me serious in the invitation to Austin. I adore all 3 of you and have never laughed harder and felt more at home.



Thank you all for an outstanding experience! I’m immensely grateful for the incredible hospitality you all provided from the moment we met. Each of you have made this trip absolutely unforgettable in your own ways. Although the food was absolutely delicious, I have already booked a few extra pilates classes upon my return. I’m grateful for your pro tips for finding sunny spots, as well as you suncream reminders. You’ll be glad to know my mission for the trip has been successful, and I’ll be returning tanned, not burned. Sunny things aside, thank you for sharing your cheery humour with us all, and keeping us all organised and on track - not the easiest task for this crew! Thank you for all the ‘cry babies’, and everything you did to help us out! Seriously - I think it’s possible we could have died without you ha! All silly anecdotes aside, you all are the best crew we could have hoped for. Thank you all!

February 2026 BVI Charter
Great trip, everyone enjoyed the trip. Yacht was excellent, well cared for, new equipment, nothing broken, food was excellent every day, great menu, and selection and well stocked. Crew was 10/10.

Would whole heartedly recommend the SeaHome 2 and this crew (Eben, Katie and Phoebe).

Seahomies Team!

We appreciate everything you have done for us this week. Your exceptional service and attention for detail has not gone unnoticed. Each of you has left an impact on us.

Dear Phoebe, Katie, and Eben

Many thanks for the perfect vacation for our family. You made everything extra special. You all have a gift for the service industry, I hope we get you all on the next tip aboard Seahome II!
Thank you so much for the most amazing time together for our family. Love you guys.
Please come see us in Austin. With love,

Phoebe, Katie, and Captain Eben,
Don't know where to start. We could not have a better trip and the reason is you three.
We respect your dedication to making this a trip of a lifetime.
thanks for everything,
Happy New Year
Our Love

Tank you so so much for an amazing trip! for putting up with all our terrible jokes, wipe outs on the e-foil, and Lindy's rule breaking!
You made our vacation so unforgettable and we will carry these memories of the rest of our lives!
Loved the time spent with you three and hope you come to Austin soon!
Cheers and Happy New Year!

Dearest Friends,
Many thanks for a week of amazing memory making moments!
Should you ever find yourselves in the Washington DC areas, please don't hesitate to reach out. It would be our honor to return the favor someday.
Warmly,

What an incredible 9 days aboard Seahome II!
Thank you for making us feel so at home, completely blended with you "floating family" and for putting up with all our jokes and antics (and missing teeth). Watch out, Mike is going to try to check the e-foil as a checked bag - "one more time".
We hope all 3 of you come to Austin for a visit- we'd love to take care of you next.
Much Love

Katie cooked magic with a smile so bright, lobster, pad thai, burgers done right. Cards while the bread rose, laughs on repeat, feeding us joy along with every meal we ate.
Foiling, bad jokes, love and a little bit of home.
Forever our chaos, our joy, out Seahome 2.0.
Love all three of you deeply

From Texas Ten to a Perfect Three aboard Seahome II, together at sea...
Nine days at sea with a crew this elite, foiling, fasting, zero sleep. Inside jokes that spiraled fully unhinged, somehow still classy, but mostly...fringe.
Eben at the helm, intense, and dry "good afternoon" when I slept past sunrise. You taught us to dive, to foil, to fly.
Phoebe swims out like a Bond scene, anchoring us down while looking chill and serene. Cocktails flawless, brows never astray, left chocolate each night (I ate them... everyday).
November 2025 BVI Charter

This trip was nothing short of spectacular. I could not be more thankful for an awesome crew. Ryan I don’t know if I can return to civilization and eat ever again after your culinary brilliance ask my parents I do not eat nearly as eagerly anywhere else. Besides your food, Your incredible attitude always made my day. It was so awesome to talk and hang out with you. You are such a cool dude. I cannot overstay this. I know you are the best chef I’ve ever had the privilege of eating from. (PS if I become rich, you best believe you are the first Chef I look for, of course Ellen is part of the package. All the better!)
Ellen, you are so awesome. You have such an amazingly positive attitude and you took care of all of us so well you always put up with Ryan and my antics with a smile. You’re calm, cool and collected - always so friendly but you’ve got your shit together like no other thank you thank you thank you!
Eben, thank you so much for taking us through such an incredible place and thank you for putting up with us kids and our antics. I cannot imagine the difficulties of piloting a ship taking care of four adults and for hooligans yet you do it with such incredible poise hats off to you The whole crew thank you thank you thank you - Charlie (Don’t let the parents fool you! I wrote this)

Dear Crew, this adventure with you exceeded all of our expectations from the food to the diving to the journeys around the BVI. We simply had the best time. Thank you for putting up with the teenage boys and their good mischief. I’m not sure the Willy T experience will ever be forgotten (and you know we have video). We truly felt like family with you all we could not have asked for a better crew. I hope we cross paths again, and if we do Nicholas promises to keep the E-foil away from the boat. With sincere gratitude, the V family.

Heard on board this week:
“ That was the best day of my life”

Sailing through the BVI is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but that’s not what’s going to out me in 50 years when I look back at this trip, what will stick is a once in a lifetime people we got to shared with. Ryan I will always remember that to succeeded in life…you have to know who your audience. Thank you so much for your fun enthusiastic attitude. Ellen you are one of the most caring and humble people that I’ve ever met. Eben, thank you for showing your expertise and directed us through an unforgettable trip. Thank you for everything sincerely -Bradley.

James, Ryan, and Ellen,
We can't thank you enough for the amazing trip! You made us feel right at home from the minute we stepped on board. Ryan's food was so delicious. We enjoyed every meal! And he's correct-Michigan does beat the hell out of Ohio! Ellen is probably one of the warmest people we've ever met. James has the best taste in music, and we love his British humor. Bar hopping on Anegada with the crew was one of the highlights!
Much love to you all
Lisa and Keith

James, Ryan, and Ellen,
Thank you so much for an incredible 10 days! Every part of the trip was amazing and we had the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We hope to be back soon and on our next trip we will most definitely have better luck with our tarpon and shark fishing!

We just wanted to take a moment to once again extend our gratitude for the incredible experience we had aboard Seahome. From the moment we stepped aboard every minute was filled with joy, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

Your expertise, hospitality, and genuine warmth made our trip truly special. We're still missing Ellen’s perfectly curated cocktails and Ryan’s mouth watering meals – what a treat! And thanks again to Keith for your patience and commitment to working with Seidon on his open water certification.

Thank you again for making our trip an experience we will never forget.

Cheers to saying "yes" on a whim an ending up on Seahome for an amazing long weekend. All expectations were superseded by the crew and I could not be more grateful. Here's to many more sails around the seas. If you need an extra hand to hoist the sails, you know where to find me.
