SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Morne Botha and Kayla Olivia Beecher
“For us, it’s not just a job but a way of life. It is a chance to finally just shut your brain off and live within the moment. And for as long as we are able, we will sail until the day we die... “

We are a couple passionate about sailing and the ocean, nature, animals, people, love, compassion and living life to the fullest. We are driven to inspire growth that goes hand in hand with change, to bring people together, create life changing experiences and show humanity a side of life that has been forgotten by society. Sailing is the one thing where the love for all comes together and you get to experience the untouched hidden beauty of life.
We strive for professionalism but at the same time give a home like feeling wherever we sail. It is not always the place that you call home but the people.

Life on the water is vastly different to everyday life on land and I would love to let others experience this and break away from their fears and normal ways.

From the day I was born I loved the ocean, I grew up just down the road from the beach and this is where I spent most of my leisure time surfing, body boarding and body surfing. I have always been a hard worker, that is goal driven and loves challenges. I have been in many team sports since a young age; hence I am very comfortable operating in a team environment, and I am confident that I will add good value to your vessel.
I achieved player of the year for my school's first team rugby in 2019 and captained a few games for my schools first eleven cricket team. I grew up having a family speed boat where I would spend most school holidays wakeboarding, slaloming and towing my family members and friends. I have attended a boarding house, allowing me to live with groups of people for extended periods of time in confined spaces.
