She is very passionate about healthy cooking and utilizing the fresh ingredients around her. She started traveling the world at age 19 starting in Australia then moving to New Zealand at 21. She then traveled around Europe settling for a year in Scotland.
This exposed her to many different tastes and styles of cuisine. Before yachting, Mandy worked as a corporate trainer in high-end restaurants learning about service and various cooking techniques. Being from a wine country in Canada, Mandy has taken great interest in the industry and is very knowledgeable about food and wine pairing. In 2012 she took a year off to go to expand her knowledge and enrolled in a culinary program at The Art Institute in Vancouver. While in Vancouver studying, she met her husband, Shane. Together they have made a career out of yachting and have traveled extensively for work and pleasure including The Bahamas, Indonesia, Central America, the USA, and Mexico.

Since 2022, she has been honing her skills as a dedicated stewardess aboard vessels ranging from 100 to 130 feet, consistently striving to provide an exceptional level of service to her guests.
Prior to her career in yachting, Stephanie gained valuable experience as an inventory manager and as a server at a prestigious 5-star steak and seafood restaurant. She is drawn to life on the water, enjoying activities such as snorkeling, free-diving & any water sport there is. She also enjoys golfing and traveling all over the world exploring new destinations.

Aaron Carey - First Mate
Nationality: Bahamian
Aaron grew up in the beachside settlement of Tarpum Bay on the island of Eleuthera, a town deeply rooted in fishing and seafaring traditions. As a child, he was involved in a wide range of activities, from baseball, basketball, and track and field, to fishing, spearfishing, and performing lead roles in local plays and choir groups.
Aaron's yachting journey began in 2019, driven by his love for the ocean and his desire to share its beauty with those who truly appreciate it. He has served as a mate on M/Y BASH II and M/Y JOURNEY, and as a Second Engineer/Bosun on M/Y HIGHLANDER. Prior to yachting, Aaron managed landscape operations and heavy machinery.
Known for his expertise in safely navigating even the most challenging waters, Aaron ensures that guests feel completely at ease throughout their journey. As a Bahamian native, his goal is to offer guests an authentic and unforgettable experience of the Bahamas, filled with activities that not only meet but exceed their expectations.

Shane, Mandy, Aaron, and Didi,
Thank you for giving us the best 8 days that we will never forget. From the moment we stepped on the boat, you all took care of our every need. You all went above and beyond to make our trip extra special. We couldn't have asked for a better crew. Thank you for giving us memories we will never forget and experiences we've never experienced before. Mandy, thank you for giving us 3 meals a day (each day) that were all the best we've ever had.
You all gave us so much more than a vacation. You filled our hearts with love and gave us friendships we'll treasure forever.
Thank you for everything!
Love

Bahamas - The Exhuma Islands Edition: we met the Margate & the incredible crew huddled under golf umbrellas in the pouring rain. 30 mins later and for the remaining days on board she gently rocked on the crystal-clear turquoise waters with the warm sun kissing our skin, the air carrying the scent of salt and adventures along with the kind of tranquility that could only be found far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The days faded effortlessly into evenings, the horizon set ablaze with sunsets that no camera nor filter could truly capture - vibrant hues of orange & pink while we stared in awe, feeling both small and infinite in the face of nature's brilliance.
We enjoyed exploring the waters on jet skis, swam with nurse sharks, visited the famous swimming pigs, fed the resident iguanas, fished and went snorkeling around Pablo Escobar's sunken plane with the local aquatic life. There was an (over!) abundance of food, laughter & togetherness - the kind of scene you want to hold onto forever and carry with you long after the trip has ended - grateful and blessed...

This was the 3rd time my broker has helped us charter a yacht. Every time has been exceptional. On this charter I was surprising my wife for her 60th birthday and I wanted to keep it a secret. The entire crew of "Margate" went above and beyond to make this the best birthday my wife has ever had. They made sure every detail was taken care of just the way we wanted. Even having the crew on the pier the day we boarded with a birthday cake and singing Happy Birthday. The Yacht "Margate" was incredible. It had everything you could think of and more. Jet ski's, slides, hot tub, fishing equipment, underwater scooters. And the yacht was spotless! The crew was also top notch! Mandy the chef prepared some of the best food we have ever had! Ollie was fantastic and attended to our every need. Aaron, the first mate, was always helpful and Captain Shane was fantastic and took us to some beautiful places throughout the Exumas. Plus, he kept us safe through some bad weather that popped up. I would definitely charter this yacht again and without a doubt, will be using my broker for any future charters we do. Thank you to my broker and the entire crew of "Margate" for making this a trip we will cherish forever!!

Captain Duran, Shane, Mandy and Didi,
Thank you so much for a fantastic vacation. The excursions, the meals, the service - everything was top-notch. On a scale of 1 to 10 we would rate both the crew and the trip an 11!
Duran is a great captain and planned a perfect itinerary for our family. Shane kept the cruise going smoothly and made an amazing video. We loved every dish Mandy made. She is a master chef who expertly accommodated some picky eaters. Didi always has a smile on her face and made us feel at home. We were always surprised and delighted by her table decorations.
This was a trip of a lifetime and the best way to experience the beauty of the Bahamas. Thank you to all the crew for giving us so many special memories. We will always cherish.
