Chef Aiesha Shachove

Aiesha Shachove was born and raised in the beautiful St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. She is a proud mother of two sons, JahFari (16) and Jabahri (19). Cooking has always been Aiesha's greatest passion. In 1998, she left St. Thomas to further her education, but as the years passed, she felt a deep, undeniable pull to return to her roots and pursue her true love for cooking. In 2018, she made the decision to move back home—a choice she considers the best she’s ever made.

Since her return, Aiesha has successfully launched her own business as a private chef, offering her culinary expertise to luxurious villas and yachts across the islands. Growing up in the Virgin Islands, the ocean was always a significant part of her life. Her father would often take her sailing through the many islands surrounding St. Thomas and the British Virgin Islands, instilling in her a lifelong love for the sea. Friends and family affectionately refer to her as a "mermaid" because of this connection to the ocean.

For Aiesha, combining her two greatest passions—cooking and the sea—has been nothing short of a dream come true. She believes wholeheartedly that when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.

    We recently had the pleasure of a trip on Sommer a 50-foot Leopard catamaran with Captain Brandon. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was clear that this was going to be a fantastic experience.

    The boat itself was immaculate—pristine! The modern interior was beautifully designed and in perfect condition, offering both luxury and comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully maintained, and the spacious layout made it easy to relax and enjoy the journey.

    Captain Brandon was an absolute star. He was eager to make sure that everything was perfect for us, going above and beyond to accommodate and ensure we had a great time.

    Having never been aboard a sailing catamaran like this it was was a dream come true. The combination of a beautiful, modern yacht and Captain Brandon’s outstanding service made this an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Sommer to anyone looking for a luxury sailing adventure.

    We went out on a charter with Captain Brandon. We cruised down the ICW through several bridges enjoying the sights and headed out into open water at Port Everglades. The sea and sky were beautiful! My husband and I are avid boaters however having never sailed it was definitely an awesome experience to cruise through the water with just the sound of the wind and waves. Being up on the flybridge while sailing was so fun but also relaxing! This was definitely a day to remember. Thank you so much Captain Brandon and selling vessel Sommer.
