Crew Profile

MEET THE CREW
Captain: Thomas Foster
Chef/First Mate: Nicola Alberts (Previously on Reach)

Born and raised in Cape Town, Tom has spent the last 5 years working at sea. After graduating from university with a degree in construction management, Tom decided that sailing the high seas seemed like a more exciting way to spend his time. With experience ranging from 40ft day boats sailing the South African coastline to 110ft sailing super-yachts blasting across the Mediterranean and Ionian seas, Tom has gained critical experience to provide his guests the highest level of enjoyment!
When not sailing, you can probably find Tom somewhere around the world driving (& fixing) his 1982 converted camper-van

Nicola grew up in Cape Town, where her love for food was nurtured in the kitchen alongside her father, learning the art of preparation, presentation, and creating unforgettable dining experiences. Surrounded by the ocean and mountains, she has always been drawn to adventure, new challenges, and the joy of bringing people together over great food.
Originally studying Environmental Sciences, Nicola soon realized her true passion lay in the culinary world. This led her to pursue a career in hospitality, which transitioned to working as a chef on yachts in the Mediterranean.
More recently she has been running charters here in the Virgin Islands.

Whether sourcing fresh ingredients in remote locations or ensuring seamless service for guests, Nicola thrives on delivering warm, attentive hospitality with a focus on quality and creativity. Passionate about fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared cuisine, Nicola takes pride in crafting menus tailored to her guests’ preferences, ensuring every meal is a highlight of their journey.

Tom and Nicola can’t wait to welcome you aboard Sea Dog and give you the experience of a vacation of a lifetime!
