Meet the Exceptional Crew of Ad Astra 5.4
A luxury yacht is only as good as its crew, and aboard Ad Astra 5.4, you’ll find a team dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for every guest. Let’s meet Grant Surtees and Ulrika, the dynamic duo who bring passion, expertise, and a personal touch to every charter.
Captain Grant Surtees: Your Adventure Guide
Born and raised in Durban on the east coast of South Africa, Grant Surtees grew up surrounded by water and mountains, fostering a deep love for the outdoors. His childhood was filled with water sports, fishing, and off-road motorcycling, creating a foundation for a life of adventure. After a stint in sales for Land Rover & Jaguar, where the allure of the company car couldn’t outweigh his yearning for the outdoors, Grant found his true calling in yachting.
Grant’s yachting journey began in the South of France on super yachts, but it was in the British Virgin Islands, working on catamarans, where he discovered his passion for guest interactions and creating memorable experiences. His love for kitesurfing, water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, and golf perfectly complements the adventurous spirit of Ad Astra. Grant is excited to share his enthusiasm for these activities, ensuring that every guest leaves with stories and memories to cherish.
Ulrika Fredrikson: Your Culinary Artist
Hailing from the northern part of Finland, Ulrika’s fascination with the sea began in childhood during sailing trips with a family friend. Summers spent at her grandmother’s villa in the Swedish archipelago, where they grew their own food and hosted magnificent family feasts, sparked her early interest in food and cooking. An exchange year in Thailand during high school deepened her love for travel, new cultures, and especially the local cuisine.
Ulrika’s journey took her to Helsinki’s top-ranking art university for product design, but her passion for cooking never waned. Catering events and dreaming of adventures led her to a sailing course in Tenerife, where she rekindled her love for the sea.
Combining her culinary skills with her sailing passion, Ulrika brings a unique blend of creativity and expertise to Ad Astra. Her dishes, inspired by her travels and grandmother’s feasts, are sure to delight guests, making every meal a highlight of the charter.
With Captain Grant and Chef Ulrika at the helm, guests aboard Ad Astra 5.4 are in for an extraordinary experience. Their combined love for adventure, expertise in yachting, and dedication to guest satisfaction ensure that your time on Ad Astra will be nothing short of magical.
