Meet Chef Anita

Nationality: South African
Languages: English (native), Afrikaans (fluent)

Raised in the picturesque coastal town of Plettenberg Bay along South Africa’s Garden Route, Anita Gerber grew up surrounded by natural beauty, fresh ingredients, and a culture of warm hospitality. Today, she brings that same spirit to the Caribbean scene.

Anita’s culinary style is vibrant, fresh, deeply personal and creative, she is the heart of the yacht where her dishes reflect both her roots and her travels, always crafted with creativity and love. With her approachable nature and dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere, Anita ensures every guest feels at home from the moment they step aboard.

Anita’s magic goes beyond the galley - her genuine joy in connecting with people makes every moment onboard feel special, whether she’s serving a sunset dinner, sharing a laugh, or helping guests feel at home. Anita’s previous roles in boutique hotels and as a TEFL tutor reflect her adaptability, leadership, and warmth. She’s a natural multitasker, equally comfortable managing deck operations or curating a themed celebration onboard. Guests often say Anita makes them feel like family—and that’s exactly the kind of energy she brings to every charter.
