CREW INFO VIEW- CLOSE

Hazel Ochoa
Captain

Born in: 1992
Nation: Colombian
Speaking Languages: English, Spanish, Afrikanns

Jacolet (Yah Yah) Van Eeden
Chef and First Mate

Born in: 1999
Nation: South African

Born in the vibrant city of Medellin, Colombia, Hazel’s life took a tropical twist when his family moved to the serene coastal town of Capurgana. With the Caribbean waves lapping at his doorstep, Hazel’s love for the ocean grew as he freedived, spearfished, and hung out with local fishermen like it was his job—which, eventually, it became!

Hazel dabbled in statistics at university, but when life threw a curveball, he returned to his seaside roots, ready to chart a new course—this time on the ocean itself. Local day charters became his launchpad, and after saving every penny he made, he jumped aboard a passing sailboat, leaving Colombia behind for Panama and the wide, wide world.

Panama offered Hazel his first taste of professional yachting, from boatyard grunt work to deckhand and chef duties. Soon enough, he earned his 200T Captain’s license in Panama—right before COVID hit. When the world paused, Hazel didn’t: instead, he joined Sea Shepherd, where he protected marine life, did scientific research, and learned to fix anything that needed fixing on a boat.

After three action-packed years of eco-adventures, Hazel returned to the Caribbean, diving into the charter world and fine-tuning his skills as a captain. And then, destiny called—he met Chef Yah Yah. The two bonded over their meticulous nature and passion for hard work. Soon, they were not only crewmates but travel buddies, visiting 12 countries in pursuit of their Yacht Master and Dive Master certifications. Now, they’re a dynamic duo on the high seas, living their ocean dream!


Hailing from a self-sustaining farm in the breathtaking Cape Town region of South Africa, Chef Yah Yah didn’t just learn how to cook—she was practically born with a wooden spoon in her hand! Under the watchful eye of her nanny, Yah Yah mastered the kitchen, making everything from cheese to preserves, pickles to baked goods. By age six, she was selling her creations at the local farmers market like a pro.

With a family farm bordering the ocean, Yah Yah’s culinary passions expanded beyond the kitchen. Days were spent foraging for seafood along the coast and cooking her fresh catch over a beachside fire—a true farm-to-table experience! Her natural talent and love for crafting meals from scratch make her a force in the kitchen, while her adventurous spirit matches the thrill of life on the water.

From her humble beginnings to traveling the world with Captain Hazel, Yah Yah is always up for a challenge. Together, they’ve set sail on new horizons, ready to welcome guests aboard with mouthwatering dishes and unforgettable stories. Whether it’s a perfectly seared catch of the day or homemade pastries, Chef Yah Yah ensures every meal is an adventure of its own!

Questions & Answers

How does the charter contract work?

The contract is signed directly between the Owner and the Charterer, with the support of the broker. It is usually based on the international MYBA contract model, designed to ensure clear and balanced protection for both parties.
There is also the figure of the Stakeholder, responsible for safely holding the funds until the end of the charter.

What is included in the charter fee?

The base rate includes the rental of the yacht, the use of all onboard equipment, the presence of the crew, and the related insurance coverage.
Operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, beverages, and additional activities are not included and are managed through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

The exact list of what is included or excluded will be confirmed when selecting the yacht.

What is the APA and how does it work?

The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance fund, usually equal to 25–35% of the charter fee, allocated to cover operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, paid activities, beverages, and the guests’ personalized requests.

At the end of the cruise, the Captain provides a detailed breakdown of all expenditures. Any unused amount is refunded to the client, while any overages are settled directly upon closing the charter.

What are the payment terms?

Upon signing the contract, a payment of 50% of the total amount is required.
The balance — including APA, taxes, and any additional charges — is typically due around five weeks before embarkation (depending on the owner).
Payments are made via bank transfer, which is the standard method in the luxury charter industry.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellations are possible, but the contractual terms apply.
In general, if the client decides to withdraw, the Owner retains the deposits already paid.

If the yacht is rebooked for the same period, the Owner refunds the amount recovered, minus the applicable commissions.

Every cancellation request is handled with full transparency.
Further details on the applicable policies are available upon direct request.

How can I choose the yacht that best suits my needs?

The choice depends primarily on the type of experience you wish to enjoy:

  • Motor yacht for maximum comfort, excellent stability, and fast transfers.

  • Sailing yacht for an authentic, quiet experience rooted in traditional navigation.

  • Catamaran for generous spaces, superior stability, and enhanced privacy.

BeBlue evaluates the destination, number of guests, personal preferences, and budget to select the most suitable option for you.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (Mediterranean: June–September; Caribbean: December–April), it is advisable to book several months in advance to secure the best available options.
We can also handle last-minute requests, depending on availability and licensing requirements.

Is it possible to personalise menus, preferences, and activities?

Absolutely. Before departure, you will receive a Preference Sheet where you can indicate your tastes, dietary needs, allergies, beverage preferences, and the activities you wish to enjoy.
The Chef and the Captain will use this information to create a fully customised experience for you.

How many guests can be accommodated on board?

Most yachts can host 6 to 12 guests, depending on their interior layout.
Some superyachts over 80 metres, compliant with international certifications, can accommodate up to 36 guests.

Will I have Internet access during the charter?

Most yachts offer Wi-Fi on board, provided through mobile networks or satellite systems. The quality and speed of the connection may vary depending on the cruising area and the technology installed.

Is tipping the crew expected?

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a well-established custom to show appreciation for the crew’s service.
International guidelines suggest an amount equal to 10–15% of the base charter fee as a reference.
