Alan Hardy and Vicky Juett look forward to welcoming you aboard Genesis II.  This well experienced couple have been sailing and diving together for the last six years.  

They met in the UK and have since worked together on Maxi yachts and Tall ships in Australia, charter yachts in the Windward Isles and diving live-aboards in the Red Sea.

Alan is an RYA commercially endorsed Yachtmaster, a Yachting Australia Skipper and an Australian Maritime Safety Association Coxswain.  He has skippered yachts in Europe, Australasia and the Caribbean.   He is a PADI Specialty Instructor; his specialties include photography and deep diving. He has a technical background from his previous role as an engineer in the ‘real world’ which supports his yachting and diving abilities.   Alan was born in Ireland and this reflects in his warm, hospitable character and fun sense of humor.   He is a caring captain who has a wealth of knowledge to share with his guests.   He mixes a fine rum punch and looks forward to sharing with you intriguing tales about the Caribbean.

Vicky grew up by the sea in the South of England and has been sailing for most of her life.  She is an RYA and Yachting Australia coastal skipper and a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, specializing in wreck and night diving and has an outdoor industry training award.   Before leaving the colder waters of the UK behind, Vicky worked as a trainer for a communications company. She has a wonderful knowledge of wine and has been fortunate to travel around the major wine regions of the world and in doing so gaining a Wine and Spirit Trust distinction.   Her menus are dynamic and tasty, and she always rises to the challenge to discover new recipes, ingredients and fresh ideas.

Whether you simply want to watch the islands slip by while sailing leisurely through some of the world’s most beautiful waters or hoist a sail or two between spectacular dives, Alan and Vicky would love to make your vacation as special as possible and they will endeavor to truly spoil you in every way they can aboard Genesis II.
