Crew Profile
Keenan & Ashley share a love of water and sea life, after traveling to the South Pacific’s Kingdom of Tonga to swim with humpback whales, Keenan & Ashley met sailors-traveling the world and fell in love-with sailing. It has since become a way of life. After returning to the US, they bought a 24ft monohull and worked through ASA training, followed by RYA Skipper Training and eventually USCG Captain’s training. They then purchased Mimbaw and completed a complete refit of the boat during Covid and over the course of more than a year of work! They’re now excited to invite you aboard!!
Keenan
From a young age Keenan longed for adventure and sought it out. By the time he was 11 he was open water scuba-certified which became a life-long passion and career while in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand Keenan was certified as a Dive Master & since has had the opportunity to become a Dive Instructor and work in some of the Dive Mecca’s of the world. Keenan is excited to invite diver’s aboard whether looking to get certified, just try it out, or try out a new spot.

Charter Yacht MIMBAW Guest Reviews
May 2012
Mimbaw May 12...We loved our vacation, we think it was the best vacation ever.
Captain Bastiaan and Jenny were both awesome! Bastiaan seemed very knowledgeable about the area and sailing in general. They were both extremely friendly and attentive. I have only glowing positive reports on both. Bastiaan was fun, engaging, intuitive, knowledgeable, interesting and full of life. Jenny was courteous, helpful also interesting, a great cook ,knowledgeable and friendly.
The meals were great! Breakfast was served with cereal, yogurt, fruit, then came the eggs, bacon. We were also served pancakes and locks with bagels...Dinner was great every night, they paid attention to our preferences.
Mimbaw was very clean, the cockpit was comfortable and always had enough shade. They made sure of it with a cover over the trampoline.
We enjoyed Bastiaans stories and enthusiasm, Jennys food and cooking mined in with a sweet personality.
We found our time very relaxing.
The diving was a lot of fun, the only thing that could of made it better would be if the medical forms were emailed to us earlier, before we arrived on the boat. Bastiaan did a great job while we were in the water.
We would charter this yacht and crew again anywhere in the world!!!
We had an absolutely splendid time. I do not know when my mother was more relaxed. My girlfriend, Judy, even though she had some sea sickness still had a great time. It truly was a pleasure getting to know Bastiaan and Jenny, two very inspiring people. Again, honestly it was the best vacation of my life, so far!
