Guests & Charter Professionals alike are unanimous in their praise for crewmembers Paul and Katie Westlake. Paul & Katie are a dedicated team whose zest for shipboard life will transform your cruise into an unforgettable adventure!
Since they started working together on the luxury yacht Galaxy, Paul and Katie have built a reputation for excellence and reliability. Responsible for running a chartering 125' Brigantine, plus parties up to 70 people, they became known for their grace and good humor, as well as a high standard of excellence.
This standard was continued and perfected during their 7 years onboard Crazy Horse, a busy 57ft luxury charter catamaran. Their experience also includes corporate, dive and film charters, on which they have collectively logged 80,000 nautical miles.
Paul's love of the sea has its roots on the rocky coast of Wales, where he was raised. As a youngster, he learned everything he could about seafaring. His extensive knowledge served him well when he started working on crews between the Mediterranean and Nova Scotia. (The fact that he can fix everything from the engines and rigging to carpeting makes him particularly valuable - this man knows ships!)
Paul is a certified dive master diver and is certified in CPR and first aid. His background in business management shows his efficiency, yet his manner is open and cheerful.
Katie hails from Ireland, where hospitality is a way of life. She trained with private caterers in Northern Ireland's only 5-star hotel, where she mastered the fine points of organization and presentation and learned cooking from top French, Thai, Creole and oriental Chefs.
After earning her degree in Business and Marketing, Katie went to work in the charter trade, and quickly became known as an excellent hostess who takes great pride in her work. For Paul and Katie, every voyage is an opportunity to help make dreams come true. They will give 110% to see that your trip on the Best Revenge 5 is picture-perfect.
