John Nicholson
John was born in Greenwich, England and has sailed for many years. He has twice sailed across the Atlantic from Europe to the Caribbean and holds an RYA Yacht Master qualification and is a Padi divemaster. During the 90’s he spent a number of years chartering, diving and exploring amongst some of the most beautiful, uninhabited islands of Venezuela as well as the Caribbean.
Susan Bruce
Sue hails from Leicestershire in England and has led an adventurous life after a stint at catering college and time spent working in the hotel and hospitality trade. She has travelled overland across Europe, through the Middle East and East Africa and lived in France before settling in South Africa where she lived for 16 years. Sue delights in preparing exotic dishes, as well as tasty, locally inspired menus for charter guests to enjoy.
Sue is a wizard snorkeler, enjoys diving, hiking, cycling, travelling and reading.
Personally guided “snorkel safari’s” are their speciality and they come highly recommended for their ability to find and identify not just the common species but also some of the more elusive and unusual fish and other sea creatures. Guests are able to use Johns underwater camera and download their photos on to a disc to take home.
John and Sue both possess a delightful sense of fun and adventure and take great pleasure in caring for their guests, sharing their local knowledge with them and making every effort to ensure their stay on board Makayabella is truly one to enjoy and remember forever.
