Name: Jamie
From: South Africa
Position: Hotel Manager, SeaDream II
About: Originally from the South Africa, Jamie makes his home in Romania with his wife and son. He “loves to be on the sea” perhaps more than on land, engaging in all watersports and sea activities. He looks forward to many more years to come with SeaDream.
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Caribbean—and why?
Jamie: I love St. Barths, for the island’s good vibes and lovely beaches. I love that we often overnight there as it has lots to offer—from great food and welcoming people to an amazing nightlife. St. Barths is all about sea and sun, but few know that it truly comes alive at night!
Q: Where is your favorite place to travel in the Mediterranean—and why?
Jamie: It’s a tie between Croatia and the Amalfi Coast. The weather is always great in both places. I like to enjoy the beaches and swimming in Croatia. However, Italy is very special, especially the Amalfi Coast, with its colorful buildings, opportunities to wander both Amalfi and Capri’s narrow streets, and sampling the different handmade goods and delicacies for the choosing.
Q: What does “It’s Yachting, Not Cruising®” mean to you?
Jamie: Our culture on board is the best on the seas. We are a boutique yachting travel experience, and nowhere else can you get the feeling of being on your own private yacht, I have been very fortunate to work with some of the same people during my time with SeaDream, building not only great working relationships but lasting friendships.
A: What is it that you love most about SeaDream?
Jamie: The family feeling we have on board. Seeing familiar guests approach the gangway on every voyage makes SeaDream extra special. SeaDream also has a special place in my heart as its where I met my wife. Need I say more?
